BOUND TO THE BEAST : CHAPTER 91 – 100

When their day’s work finally came to an end, Emeriel and Amie walked together into the fortress. They parted ways in the slaves’ quarters, and Emeriel set off to find his sister.

Although Aekiera had been assigned to work within the fortress, her status as the beast’s sex slave remained unchanged. Therefore, she still had her chambers in the main area.

Emeriel opened the door to her bedchamber, and there she was. Aekiera sat in front of the mirror, brushing her hair.

Her head snapped toward the door when it opened, and relief filled her eyes as she recognized Emeriel.

“Em!” she exclaimed, rushing towards him. Emeriel met her halfway, and they embraced passionately.

“I’ve been worried sick. It’s been over a week,” Emeriel pulled back and scrutinizing his elder sister, searching for any signs of bruises or harm.

“I’ve been worried too, Em. I’ve tried to make a conscious effort to visit, but I always end up so exhausted by the end of the long days that I fall asleep as soon as my head touches the bed,” she responded, looking guilty.

Emeriel understood. Most days were like that for him as well. “How are you doing, Keira? Are you alright?”

“I’m fine. Fetching water and emptying basins have their advantages.

They keep you so busy that the slave masters don’t get the chance to act on whatever wicked thoughts they have.

It’s an advantage that comes in handy,” Aekiera informed him, settling back into her chair.

Emeriel stood behind her, taking the brush from her. He began to gently run it through her blond locks.

“I’m glad to hear that.”

“What about you, Em? I loathe the fact that they do not assign you a specific duty.

They constantly change your tasks. It would be better if you had a consistent role, even if it meant enduring some stress.

You would be at less risk of working for wicked slave masters if you only interacted with a few of them,” Aekeira expressed her concern, “Perhaps the cellar would be best.”

“Not the cellar,” Emeriel countered fast. Too fast.

Aekeira turned her head sharply to get a better look at him, “What is wrong? Has anyone… Have those masters been cruel to you?”

Emeriel hesitated. But it was always hard lying to Aekiera. “Not both. One of them has…has taken an interest in me.”

His sister froze. Dread pooled in her eyes, worry replacing tiredness. “Oh, dear lord…”

“You need not worry,” Emeriel was quick to add. Saddened by those looks, he aimed to make her feel better, “He has not acted on his desires yet. I reminded him that I belong to a grand lord, and it made him cautious.”

“Nothing can make them cautious, Em. You do not have to lie to me. I understand that I cannot always protect you, but it breaks my heart to think that after everything you went through with the beast, not long ago, some useless master is onto you again,” Aekeira’s sorrowful eyes burned with anger. “Perhaps I should poison him.”
