Chapter 16 You should not be here , Em .
Please , go away .
And what are you doing here ? Emeriel countered , casting an apprehensive glance toward the imposing metal gates .
Come on , lets leave this place , he urged , taking hold of Aekeiras hand No ! Ackeira jerked her hand away .
I need to be here .
But you , Emeriel , you should not .
Leave .
What ? No ! You do not need to be here .
No sane person should be here ! Emeriel seized her hand once more , this time his grip tightened .
Come on , Keira , please , let us go ! I cant , okay !? Aekeiras voice cracked , tears falling , smearing her makeup .
She looked completely tired , as if burdened by the weight of the world .
The sight pierced Emeriels heart like a dagger .
His sister no longer tried to withdraw her hand ; simply too weary to fight .
I cannot leave , Em , she whispered tearfully .
If I do , it will be you who goes behind those closed doors .
Emeriel recoiled at the thought .
But he quickly recovered .
Fine , I will go to the forbidden chambers- No , you cannot ! Aekeira stated vehemently , her eyes wide .
Not you , Em .
Never you , do you hear me .
I will do it .
Emeriel did not want to enter that chamber , barricaded with metal rods , and face the most terrifying beast that lurked within , either .
The mere idea frightened him to the core .
But he would do anything to protect Aekeira .
Seeing her so defeated , he couldnt bear to witness her suffering .
Please , Kiera , let me go .
I want to protect you , Emeriel pleaded , tears welling in his eyes .
His lower lip quivered with emotion .
Aekeira shook her head , and this time , she drew Emeriel into her embrace .
Emeriel clung to her , buring his face to her neck as tears streamed down his face .
For once in our lives , allow me to protect you , Keira , Emeriel pleaded .
Aekeira stepped back , cupping his cheeks .
She offered a watery smile .
I am the elder one here .
It is my duty to protect you .
Emeriel wanted desperately to continue arguing , but determination returned to Aekeiras eyes .
His sister would never back down .
Okay , Emeriel nodded at last , conceding .
Aekeira nodded as well smile growing wider .
Very well .
Thats my brave sister , she said , planting a kiss on Emeriels forehead .
Now , please leave before Madam Livia returns .
She stepped away briefly to use the chamber pot in the closest restroom .
Allow me to escort you to the door , Emeriel insisted .
Aekeira appeared on the verge of protest , but Emeriel gently took her hand and guided her forward .
Eventually , Aekeira gave in , letting him to lead the way .
Although Aekeira tried to appear composed , her hand trembled in Emeriels grasp , and her shoulders tense .
Shes terrified .
New tears welled in Emeriels eyes , but he quickly blinked them away .
If Aekeira had to bear this horrific torment once 1/3 15:40 Sat , Dec 28 GD .
Chapter 16 again , the least he could do was be strong for her .
They stopped at the metal gates .
Emeriel turned to Aekeira .
I will remain here waiting for you , dear sister A low rumble emanated from behind the door ..
Emeriels eyes widened .
The growl was so scary he felt an overwhelming urge to flee .
To run and never look back .
71 % 0 Even Aekeiras eyes bulged .
Yet , instead of running , she clutched his hands tightly , Run , Em .

Come here this instant , Emeriel ! Emeriel desperately wanted to protest .
He opened his mouth … Right .

Madam Livia punctuated her words with anger .
Another growl pierced the air , even more thunderous than the first .
Swallowing hard , Emeriel reluctantly released Aekeiras hand .
He walked away toward the head maid .
Enter , Aekeira .
Emeriel , come with me .
Madam Livia marched off , leaving him to follow .
Emeriel complied and followed .
But a part of him the same instinctual part that urged him to run and never look back screamed at him to stay .
With every step he took away , his skin prickled , and a sensation akin to needles spread through his body .
Stay , stay , stay ! AEKIERA Aekeira entered the forbidden chambers through the narrow gate at the side of the even larger gate .
It was small and slim , the Urekai probably made it that way so they could enter in their human forms without opening the main gate .
She stood frozen like a mouse ensnared in a trap , her heart pounding as the towering beast loomed above her .
Its menacing growls reverberated through the air, filling the room with an ominous presence .
Tonight , the feral king seemed even more restless than it had been the other night .
Drawing nearer , the beast sniffed her cautiously , its predatory instincts on high alert .
Aekeira held her breath , afraid the slightest movement would provoke its wrath .
The beasts massive hand reached out , its claws pressing against her arms as it effortlessly lifted her off the ground .
With a wave of its hand , she was dropped to another corner of the dark room , deliberately away from the door .
Then , the beast turned its attention to the door .
Taking two steps forward , it halted and raised both hands … Aekeira watched in awe as the creature exerted an astonishing force , pushing against the sturdy oak door .
With a resounding crash , the door yielded to its strength , splintering into fragments Behind the shattered remnants stood the imposing metal gates .
The king beast pulled , gathering momentum before hurtling itself at the gates .
15:40 Sat , Dec 28 GO Chapter to Oh , the stars ! Ackeira remained motionless , scated where the beast had left her paralyzed with fear .
Could the beast truly breach the metal gates and escape ? 71 % Finally , it became clear why Grand Lord Vladya had been so certain the king beast would kill her that other night .
The sheer strength possessed by this creature was beyond comprehension Immeasurable .
Unfathomable .
The beast was on the verge of escape .
Yet , Aekeira found herself capable of making the faintest sound .
Her terror so much she came dangerously close to losing control of her bladder .
Again and again , the beast repeatedly threw itself at the door , each impact echoing with a deafening boom .
Locks and keys succumbed to its power , crumbling at its feet as the metal gates wung open wide .
The feral king cast one final glance at Aekeira .
She recoiled from its gaze , pressing herself against the wall .
Hes going to kill me .
The beast approached her , each step exuding a threatening aura of power .
Strength .
Aekeira would have wet her undergarments if Madam Livia hadnt insisted she empty her bladder before coming here .
It drew near , bent down , and brought its face closer to Aekeira .
Due to the darkness of the room , she couldnt see its features clearly , except for its glowing yellow eyes .
Pressing its nose against her neck , it inhaled deeply .
The very spot where Em had nestled her face during their embrace .
The creature growled , licking Aekeiras neck .
Twice .
Finally , it straightened up and exited the forbidden chambers with heavy steps .
