All Chapters of Bound as the Alpha king's Slave : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

When Emily ran out of the dungeon, Scarlett can only laugh as she watched Lyra shake on her knees. The slave can't do a thing. The king gave her permission to torture Lyra, and there's nothing anybody can do about it. She gave the guards sign-order for them to stop whipping her. They bowed their heads. She stared at Lyra. "See....even your slave you charmed has left you." She drawled as she walked close to the slave in front of her. lyra could barely hear the woman. Everywhere hurts. Her back is on fire. Her body no longer feels like her own. Tears fell from her eyes in waves, her body trembling while the Mistress laughed and made talks in front of her. "I will enjoy doing this to you on a daily basis. Torturing you is a special fun on it's own. The king has been way too kind on you, I'd have said you charmed him but I know the king is not some whimp of a man your witchery will work on." Scarlett said. The coppery taste of blood inside lyra's mouth overwhelmed her sens

Long minutes dragged by. Bami finished mixing her herbs and already, she's applying them to the princess's wounds. Emily helps her to squeeze out the water from each scoop of wet grinded leaves, and she applies them to the wounds. Emily was happy that the princess is unconscious. This hurts like the very hell, and her princess already suffered enough in one day. The king was still leaning against the door, even though he'd long sent Vane away. He hasn't said anything else. His eyes just took everything in. Finally, Bami said... "All done." Emily breathed a sigh of relief as she took it all the wounds they covered. Tears filled her eyes again because her princess's back looks like a map of green leaves. Bami faced the king. "I'll give her some concoctions to sleep really long and hard, because she needs all the rest and these herbs doesn't need the restlessness that will come from her awareness. Then, Emily and I would go into the woods in search of the rare herbs." He

When she was done, Ryker withdrew the cup and tried to get up but she clung to him, her dazed eyes staring at his. "So cold...""You're cold?" He asked with a furrowed brow, knowing that the room is not cold at all."Your... eyes... they're so cold..." She whispered.Ryker said nothing, knowing that the woman isn't herself. She was heavily induced on pills and potions, and they have side effects. He knows that she won't remember any of these in the morning. And so, he just stared at her.It's the first time he allowed himself to stare at her so up close. The first time he allowed himself to really look at her. To see Lyra... not Valen's Daughter.She's beautiful. The knowledge went to his cold heart and whispered on it. Beautiful and so pure-looking. Like a woman who never saw the rough side of their world. Like a princess.She has a bow mouth, sharp pointed nose that took in sharp breaths, and deep blue eyes that stared up at him in a daze. Her beauty rivaled many.For the first time

"There are rumors that the King punished the wicked mistress Scarlett for whipping you," Emily whispered. That was... shocking. The most shocking she's heard. "What?" Emily pulled back and continued in a whisper. "There's a rumor that the king placed her under house arrest for three noon days." A thrill of pleasure shot through Lyra's body at the knowledge. She must be a bad person for being happy but she couldn't help it. Three days without having to see Mistress Scarlett are days to look ahead to, even though her back hurts and she still has to work, she's still happy. "I was so happy when I heard it, my princess! I'm really happy about it." Emily enthused excitedly. "I'm happy to hear it too, Emily." Lyra finally admitted. Lyra just finished taking her bath, getting ready to go to the mines. Her body really hurts badly and she'll give anything not to have to work today. But then again, she doesn't want to allow herself to dwell on thing she can't change. Emily had taken he

Emily has gone to the mines too. Left alone, Lyra needed some fresh air outdoor. She got up and slipped her legs into her sandals. She looked around. Her room looks beautiful because of the way Emily decorated it. She smiled taking in the new features. The fresh flowers. The lightbulbs. The new floor carpets. Already, she was counting the minutes before Emily comes back again. She walked out of the palace and took a first visit to the library where she spent a good number of time. It was afternoon by the time she got back into the palace and strode towards the garden of the palace. She was staring at them with fascination when her back prickled. Someone is watching her. She look behind her and stared up. There she stood at the window, staring at her with eyes filled with so much loathing. Scarlett, the king's mistress. The woman was still holed up in her room and from the look on her face, Lyra could see that the woman is not happy about that at all. In fact, the woman looked
