Burning chains

Ch 3: bindings

Arthur's Pov

I was silent as Anne entered the room,I did not have it in me to listen to Liam's anger,he wouldn't understand why I took Anne or why I threatened taking her little sister, honestly I didn't want to threaten to hurt a child,it felt sick and utterly disgusting to me,but the moment I heard my uncle speak about a red haired woman with such beautiful features I had to see for myself. The moment I saw Anne I wanted her,she was beautiful and had the right amount of curves but not too much,her brown eyes were full of fire and her red hair just called to me like a moth to a flame. I wanted to fuck her so bad, it's not even breeding season and I'm already in need,damn she turns me on,but she'll never agree to do it unless I use force or threats...and I love that.

"Hello my gem, don't mind Liam, he's just jealous that my attention will be on you rather than him" I gently patted Anne's head as I starred at her with hungry eyes.

"Then does that make him your boy toy that is jealous of not getting his licks in?" Her joke was stupid and her blank expression was a certainly a site.

I could barely keep my laughter in and Liam gave a slight chuckle,his anger was going down,good.

"I'm not a boy toy. And gem? seriously Arthur that's the pet name you give her?" Liam was annoyed but kept his anger from earlier at me.

I looked fully at Anne and the dress she wore,the grey was nice and the sleekness of the dress really emphasized her curves,I might loose my cool at night,and her hair was brushed to be smooth,it was like I was looking at a treasure rather than a woman,but she was a woman,my woman.

"So my gem,are you ready to start doing your job as my slave?" I took her hand and put it on my chest,I wanted to see what she would do,I wanted her to do something.

Her face was look of disgust and anger,I knew she'd be angry, honestly messing with was amusing, especially her reactions.

"Arthur you and I are not done,I know your reasons, I've known you long enough to that you've never bought nor taken in a slave let alone two,but you know as well as I what will happen, what will you do then?!" Liam was furious and slammed his hand on my desk.

I could see the anger and sadness on his face,I remember what happened to him...but I won't let it happen to Anne,I don't care if I have to kill the draconic council,I won't let anyone hurt Anne.

"Olivia,take Anne to the library and teache her the rules and responsibilities she has" I tell the head maid while going back to sit at my desk.

I watch as Olivia takes Anne out of my study and shuts the door with an angry look on her face,fuck,even my own maid hates me now too.

"So what are you going to do? I know you won't send her and her sister back to where you got them, it's been 8 hours and you're already attached to them,I mean I saw the way you looked at her like you wanted the fuck her like you were in heat,and that it took nearly everything in you to hold back from doing it" he was right,and he knew it.

"You're right,but she would never let me do it,and besides I'd like to know more about her" I open my logbook and record today's events in them.

"You don't even know her and yet you love her,and I know it's not just her looks, what else do you love about her if you don't know her?" He was curious, angry but still curious.

I loved a lot about her, how expressive she is when she's angry,the care and love she has when she looks at her little sister,and the harmony of her soul,it was full of pain yet the melody sounded beautiful, dragons don't care much about looks but it's still a factor when we choose our mates,but the biggest factor is the harmony of their soul,the rhythm of how it echoes with their emotions and trauma,we dragons are all born with the ability to hear harmony of souls, it's why we value honestly since we see a their true intentions from the sounds of their soul,and Anne's soul was a sad melody that rang true,I want to know how it sounds when she's happy and overjoyed,or in pleasure.

"I like the harmony of her soul, it's beautiful Liam,and I'll be damned if anyone ruins it,I don't care if I have to bind her to my bed in chains out of sight!but so help me if anyone, anything,any other dragon but me changes the echo of her soul, I'll kill them" I was angry,I was angry at myself that I might have doomed her and her sister,but there's no way they are going back to that dirt village,they deserve so much better.

Liam was shocked at my display of emotions,but he then gave me a look of seriousness and turned to leave the study.

"Then you better not let what they did to me happen to her,it would break her" he gave me a sad look and left.

Damnit he's right,if the draconic council got word that I took in a slave they would want to meet her,and do things to her that all slaves of dragon nobels must go through,when they did that to Liam he nearly took his own life,he hated me,blamed me for it happening to him. I felt like shit and didn't have it in me to cry Infront of him,to reach out and comfort him and apologize for not doing anything,and it took 4 whole years before he even talked me again let alone trusted me,if Anne went through those things,she might actually take her own life,or worse,she would be left mentally broken like a hollowed out husk.
