Chapter 27


    Shackled (The Lord Series)

    If I f uck up things with Angel and put the bond in danger, Reyes will probably carve me up like a


    pumpkin.


    Without taking my eyes off Reyes and Angel, 1 say, “Giselle,e here.” She does as I ask. “I forgot to


    inform you that this house has a new Lady-Angel. Stefan, Beyer, and I have chosen hit to be woman.


    She is our banded now. The way you acted tonight is not to be repeated. Even if Angel was not our


    woman, you forgot your training. You are


    to initiate services without being requested to do so.”


    Giselle says nothing, and I turn my head to look at her. She lowers her gaze. “You looked stressed and


    tensed, and I thought you needed my services.”


    “Even if that were the case, you thought I would like it if you threw yourself at me like you’re only a cheap


    who re?” I snarl. She whimpers


    “Don’t talk to her like that!” Angel snaps at me.


    “Stay out of it!” I snap back. I return my attention to Giselle. “The only reason for not letting all the men


    working in this house use you like the who re you are is because my father saw something in you, and


    you know the inside and the outside of this house better than most of the staff. You are also loyal, which


    is rare these days. But disrespect Angel like that again, and I will personally take you back to the Blood


    Lodge.”


    Giselle nods, letting me know she understood. I didn’t expect anything less from her. While she was born


    in the Blood Lodge to one of the se x sv es, she is very


    smart.


    It had been my father who took pity on Ciselle and brought her to work for the family when she turned


    fourteen after her mother’s death six years ago. By the time Giselle turned fifteen, she had already


    learned the art of pleasing men and was already serving unwed blood-brothers. It is f ucked up, but with


    the age of consent being as low as fourteen, it is no wonder police turn a blind eye when ites to theN?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content.


    se x sl aves. Some cops even visit the Red Rooms. I never understood why the Ekkers let this happen.


    We might im we are better than the Dukes, but when ites to S**, we are as depraved as they are.


    Or more 30.


    Se x  ves are usually those who have wronged the Lords in the most unforgivable ways. Sometimes,


    the punis hment is passed from mother to daughter. Giselle’s only crime was to be her mother’s


    daughter.


    sorry,” Giselle whimpers. And she should be. Looking at Angel, she adds, “I didn’t know Master Alekos


    has taken a bonded, else I would not have done what I


    Angel frowns. “Master Alekos? What are you, his sl aver


    “Yes.” Giselle replies.


    Giselle is not a  ve, but she is not free either. My father paid a lot of money to get her out of the Blood


    Lodge, and the promised to work for my family until she pays-everything she owes us. Until that day


    “You really are a real piece of sh it.” Angel looks really disgusted with me.


    “It’s not like that,” I try to exin, but she tries again to push past Reyes to get out of the living room.


    Reyes doesn’t le


    let go of Angel, and in a low, angry tone,


    he says to Giselle, “Get the f uck out of here before I change my mind and take you to the basement.”


    Giselle’s eyes open wide, and she lets out a whimper. She is more scared of Reyes than she is of me.


    And of the basement. Reyes has his torture chamber there.


    While I like to believe the Lords are treating their se x sl aves better than the Dukes, that is not always


    the case. There had been a young Lord who found pleasure in hurting Giselle, which led to her fearing


    anything to do with the Blood Lodge-the ce where the Lords meet each Friday night. He had since


    been shunned and is no longer one of us.


    Reyes moves to the side, and Giselle darts out of the living room, stopping only when she is in front of


    the elevator.


    “How about we dine?” I suggest.


    Angel res at me before marching up the minibar. She grabs the bottle of vodka and takes a long sip


    from it while she keeps her eyes on me. Then she shakes her head. “A  ve? Is this a joke?” she asks,


    trying to understand the situation, but I don’t know how to exin. Giselle is not a pornal anymore, but


    therge amount of money she owes me turned me into her owner, I might not be cruel to her, but I am


    not shy about teaching her what happens when she disobeys me. “You know, I pity Giselle. I knew the


    Lor ds were cruel, but, to actually own people?”


    Reyes and Stefan sit at the dining table-which is next to the sofa-and are waiting for Angel and me to join


    them,

    1 cross my arms over my chest. “You think the Dukes don’t have sl av es?”


    “I know they don’t,” Angel retorts,
