(Y/n) broke into a speeding dash the moment her feet stepped out of the gate. She let her muscles lead the way as she continued boosting her self-assurance in an attempt of comfort against the risky way ahead.

'Calm down (Y/n). You're out. You're just one step away from home! There's no way in hell I'll let this chance slip me by.' The girl skidded around streets as she recalled the rout that would lead her to the salvation she required.

The female briskly paused as she came to two split paths and invigoratingly rattled her brain to recall the section she needed to take. (Y/n) inhaled a deep breath of relaxing air, engendering her nerves to settle at a respectable degree to allow her unstable pants to steady in her lungs.

She craned her neck around the environment to grasp the coordinate of her location, speculating for a conclusive point. While she studied the empty streets, she took a moment to rest her body for a single second to allow the true gravity of her freedom to be grasped by her senses.

(Y/n) prepared to bolt out of the area in a chosen direction, before she heard a familiar sound emanating from an arbitrary region. The female's attention was directed to the noise and nearly jumped as a large figure padded towards her shaken form.

The girl gulped back her dread as the large dog wagged his tail at her presence. Without needed coaxing, Oberon began a loud array of barks as he joyfully began jumping around the female, nearly shaking her off balance.

"No! Oberon, be quiet!" She loudly whispered, attempting to settle the dog in a manner that would not attract unnecessary attention. 'If Oberon's here, Alex can't be too far away.' She frantically gestured for the animal to silence it's howls and growls until she chose the best corse of action would be to completely leave the area before unwanted company would appear.

"Bad girl..." (Y/n)'s muscles stiffened as her blood seemed to clog up in her veins. Her brain blackened as all her thoughts disappeared, leaving the female tongue tied. The girl reluctantly forced her neck to pivot her head back to gaze into the enraged visage of the male who's body stood in a tense stance that was more than prepared to sprint for her the moment her body went in motion. "Very, very bad girl..." His words spewed through his tightened jaw while Fenrir and Oberon remained clueless of the situation that stealthily progressed in front of them.

(Y/n) sucked in a brisk breath of air as her muscles clenched and her form ducked down to gain momentum for the sprint she prepared to break into. Alex's analytical gaze picked up on the hinting movements and before the female herself could take the first step, he darted towards her like a predator.

"Oberon, tackle!" The large creature complied with the command and as soon as the female moved her feet, he jumped on top of her, launching her towards the ground in a heavy thud. Before (Y/n) could even regain the breath that she had lost from the impact, she felt a pair of hands grasp her wrists to effortlessly bring them at a converging point behind her back.

"No!" The girl screeched and as she dragged her nails against the boy's hands, she managed to provide herself enough space to unlatch one of her arms and retaliate as she shot her her elbow out to knock it against the boy's cheek. Alex was momentarily dazed for a fraction of a second, offering the girl enough of a time gap to stand up and attempt another getaway.

However, (Y/n) didn't manage to make even proper progress before she was restricted as arms entwined themselves around her body, labouring to contain her arms to her sides. The female thrashed in his hold, managing to spin her limbs out of his unyielding grip as she began pushing against him with equal force.

"(Y/n), stop. You'll hurt yourself." He earnestly stated, unsuccessfully concerning the girl with his anxiousness.

"No! Let me go!" (Y/n) gave one last push that ripped her body out of his grasps and as she triumphantly breathed out, the momentum knocked her spine as well as skull against the wall that she launched herself at. The female felt her bones jitter and vibrate from the impact and sensed her brain throbbing at the merciless blow that her scalp had taken from the brick barrier. The girl's eye lids became heavy as they forcefully applied themselves over her vision, while her oscillated body tipped her form to precipitate into a fall, right before she felt her frame being caught in a secure hold.

The female's mind hazed with pain and swayed her entire conscience until she was left at an unconscious state. Her body slumped against the grasp that had propped her up and unintentionally lost its clutch of reality.

A slight hiss escaped (Y/n)'s lips as she felt her head moving into a position that applied pressure to the agonised point on her head. As she rotated her skull back on its side, the girl was given a moment of clarity throughout her dazed mind.

The female's senses slowly began rousing as her lucid mind started becoming unambiguous as her conscience stirred awake. The more awareness her senses developed, she could finally detect a hand gently combing through her scalp as her body was propped up to lean against the individual.

The female soon forced her eyelids to tremble upon opening, letting her look around a large area that seemed mildly furnished into a supposed room. The more her nerves began awakening, her body also reacted with shuffling movements while her optics proceeded to scan through each detail in a hazy manner.

"How are you feeling?" A smooth voice rippled into her ear as the female's brain was snapped awake by the familiar vocals. She gasped, standing up from her stance, causing her vision to slightly muddle from the rush in movements, but ignored the blankness that consumed her sights, trying to create a larger proximity from the boy that had been holding her.

However, to her dreaded amazement she didn't manage to move as far back as she cared to before her neck was violently tugged, allowing her a very selective distance she can gain from the male's vicinity. (Y/n)'s brain couldn't process that implication of her restraints and only as she continued endeavouring a tactful span did she began gaping at her restrictions.

The girl ceased her vain motions and as a horrified realisation filled her head, she slowly ran her hands up to her scruff to feel a strong material looped around her neck, securely clasped with a small padlock. The more she felt around, the girl managed to detect a straying part of the item as she glided her fingers along the cold, smooth, winding surface of what she recognised as a chain. (Y/n) remained stunned for a moment as she refused to grasp at the implication of the restraint that grounded her.

The girl looked towards the male that sat a few feet away from her on the ground. Alex's features gave little inclination over his thoughts or feelings as he awaited for the girl to conclude the dreaded scene on her own. (Y/n) began to lightly shake her head in disbelief as though her denial would create a miracle that would lead up to her bonds disappearing. However, no such luck came her way as she felt the chain being tugged to urge the female towards the awaiting boy.

"Come here (Y/n)." The girl sternly shook her head, losing her capability to utter a single coherent syllable out of her shocked state. Alex exhaled with displeasure as he pulled on the chain with a harder motion, managing to slightly drag the girl across the smooth surface of the polished floor. (Y/n)'s heart rate redoubled as the covering provided little friction for her body to retaliate against the force applied to her neck.

"No! What's going here?! Where am I-?!" As her words slewed out of her mouth in a disoriented babble, the boy gave a harsh tug on the chain, sliding the girl closer to where he was able to reach his arm out and grab her to pull the female to his body. Once in his embrace, he proceeded to spool his arm around her frame and stroke the girl's hair with the other.

(Y/n) wriggled and figgited against his secure hold, while the boy had a satisfied smile playing on his lips as he felt every inch of the female pressing against his chest. He placed his cheeks to rest against her scalp while (Y/n) huffed and grunted with every attempt to wiggle out of the clinging limbs.

"Alex stop! What's this all about?! Why...why do I have this...'thing' on my neck?!" She refused to utter the item's name, feeling every shrivel of her self-respect deteriorating with each second she felt the restrainer around her throat. Alex squeezed her tighter and let his head fall to her shoulder where he rested against the girl.

"You're in a safe place...you're safe with me now. Away from the world that keeps trying to ruin you." The assuring sleekness of his voice oozed with a passionate satisfaction that flowed through each vowel, unsettling the female to no end. "I told you...I told you I'd protect you. Now everything is going to be alright (Y/n). You won't have to rely on anyone else but me." His voice muffled as he pressed his face into the girl's locks, trying to feel her presence in the strongest sense possible.

"Alex don't touch me! Get off!" (Y/n) yanked her arms free, pushing the boy away from her, only for him to retaliate as he yearningly gazed at the girl while holding the chain close so the female could not move further away. "Alex I swear when someone finds out about this, I'll make you pay-!"

"Will you settle your little pet, boy. I can hear her annoying whining from all the way down the hall." The girl's eyes opened wide as her gaze drifted towards the doorway to a familiarly elegant but smug woman smirking at her captive state. (Y/n) had to take a moment to fully process the visitor's company before her body immediately tried to reel back in distaste and intimidation. "Alexander I didn't allow this runt to live in my home just to be blowing my head up with her incessant tone." Alex's expression stiffened as he looked down in a solemn response.

"I apologise mother. I'll try and keep her quiet." The woman kissed her teeth in annoyance as she held her head high in a disgusted gesture, away from the pair. Her eyes trailed the younger girl's enraged form to indulge her own satisfaction.

"How are you enjoying your time here, girl?" She smirked as her son tightly held onto the younger female, clearly disquieting and irritating her with his proximity.

(Y/n) glared at the woman as she tried to pull away from the restrictive collar to approach the adult on an equal level. "What are you doing? Are you seriously helping him with this?!" The older female shrugged with a tainted innocence that held a complacent undertone.

"What kind of mother would I be if I denied my son of something he dearly wants?" As the comment was laced with sweetened syllables, (Y/n) could easily pick up on the more spiteful and begrudging tone that she vengefully relished in.

"That's bull! You just like to see me suffer like this! Don't you-?!" The girl's malevolent shouts were ceased as the boy pulled her head into his chest to muffle her voice.

Alex tenderly caressed the female's hair in a comforting manner to simmer her anger down. "(Y/n) please don't say such things. Mother...has been so kind to allow me to keep you." The girl looked up at him in shock over the boy's gullible tinted perception over the woman's supposed generosity. "She said that she'll help keep you safe. And keep your presence a secret. Mother has been so charitable and kind. She will keep you here with me. Isn't that amazing? I get to protect you here where no one will dare lay a finger on you." The male's tone was treacle and soft, filled with a happiness that would have been hard to achieve in any other situation. Alex's gratitude towards his mother's double edged aid seemed to fuel his hope in his obligation, while the girl could only shake her head in disbelief.

"Alex she's doing this to just make me suffer. Don't listen to her, this isn't right!" The male simply gave her a melancholic frown before his attention was grabbed by his parent.

"Alexander I'll be leaving you two alone. If she doesn't shut up by the end of the night I'll make sure to come in and silence her myself. So quiet that pestilence down!" She asserted her command with the upmost urgency and meaningfulness before shutting the door to isolate the pair. Making her way down the corridor, the woman couldn't help but break out of her composure to let out a darkened chuckle filled with venom. "Enjoy your stay girl. You'll be knocked down to learn your true place as a toy for those higher than you."

(Y/n) stared at the closed door as though expecting some sort of miracle of aid, only to be dragged back to reality as she felt the boy's hands massaging her arms. "Don't touch me!" Alex carefully clamped his hand over her mouth and emitted hushing noises to quieten the female.

"Please, mother will get upset if she hears you-" The girl smacked his hand away before glaring at the male with a disconcert expression.

"Let her hear me! Let everyone hear me! I'm not staying another second in this place!" (Y/n)'s speech was broken as the chain that slaved her was tugged to drag her towards the wielder.

Alex parcelled her body into his embrace, making sure to have her entire frame safely in his grasp. "Please understand. You've been hurt so many times and it's disgusting to see how much people try to take advantage of you...but this way, I can have you all to myself to defend. You won't need to worry about a single thing in life (Y/n)." However, the boy felt the girl's attempts to tug away from him.

"You can't just train and treat me like some sort of animal Alex! Can't you see, you're being used! Your mother is allowing you to do this to me so she could watch me suffer. Can't you see that?!" Alex's shaded features seemed to give out the most expressive answer they had ever given with the silent expression.

"I know she's using me...but for once, I'm glad. I'm so happy she's using me to further my duty. I'm so happy you'll securely stay here without anyone's awareness. With her protection I can take you out and give you a bit of freedom. I'll make sure you're taken care of, (Y/n)." The male took the girl's head in his hands to place his forehead to rest against her's. "You'll stay here with me...I'll give you everything you want and more...all you have to do is be happy and remain by my side. I want you to dedicate all your attention and life to me (Y/n). That way I know you'll be under my protection for the rest of your life."

The girl let her frustration out into smacking the palm of her hand against the boy's cheek, forcing his head to whirl away. "Will you finally understand that my life has gone down because of you! I don't want you Alex, I wish we never met on that damn day! I wish you never came back and recognised me! I wish...I wish you just never got involved in my life." The girl crunched up her hands as she grasped her clothes to support her will. When she sensed the silence engulfing all the surroundings, she became eerily unsettled. Lifting her head up to assess the boy's state, she was taken aback by the moist streak that glazed his cheek.

Alex noticed her staring and as he felt around against his face, he sensed the liquid path that ran from his eyes to his chin. He brushed it off to look at the wetness against the palm of his hand. "Blood...? No, tears...am I crying?" He looked up at the girl in search for a confirming answer before wiping away the left over streak. "I don't...remember how it felt...does this mean I'm sad? You're crying too..." (Y/n) seemed startled at the inclination and as she placed her hand on either side of her face, she felt the liquid that tickled her skin as it laced down to its stopping point. She hadn't realised the tear that escaped her eye and was in a state of surprise before she felt a foreign hand wiping the excess moistness away. "These tears are too precious to be wasted on such pointless things...you don't have to be sad anymore (Y/n). I'll always be here to protect you."

'That's the problem...' The female remained silent as the boy ran his hand through her hair to sooth the shaken girl. Alex smiled at her settled form before moving closer towards the distracted girl to relax his head against her's.

(Y/n)'s felt as though her whole world was shattering before her as her body felt like it were dissolving into poison. Her mind remained preoccupied with self loathing of the missed opportunity that she lost, oblivious to the boy's movements against her. Alex was careful and couscous to slide his lips across the girl's earlobe as he simply let them graze the appendage -sensing the small tingles against his own skin as his blood pressure reacted with the sensation of the girl's own body heat- before caressing towards her cheek halting the motion to test the waters with a simple kiss. After receiving no objection from the distracted girl, he let his tissued articulator softly scrape against her cheek in set course to reach the girl's own lips. As he slid his mouth across her flesh to reach the female, right before applying pressure to her lips.

"No!" (Y/n) was forcefully snapped out of her wallowing state by the sensation against her mouth, and reflexively shot her fist out to collide it with the male's chest. Alex was constrained to move back as he began coughing and choking from the impact against his lungs. The girl took the chance to stand up in an attempt to distance herself from him. Alex let out a deep, agitated growl as he tugged the chain with raw force, forcing the girl to fall back and lightly gag at the harsh assault against her throat.

The female lightly hawked before she felt her wrists trapped down against the floor, opening her eyes to stare into the upside down image of the infuriated boy that she had attacked. "You're mine (Y/n)! Don't ever react like that again! Do I have to teach you who you belong to?" The male stood up to walk around the girl's frozen body until he was standing over her with a commanding look in his eyes. "Do I...have to teach you to love me?" The boy lightly tugged the chain to coax the female into a sitting position, and when (Y/n) refused to obey the subconscious command, he pulled on the bonds to physically force her to lift up.

"Alex stop! This is insane!" The girl grabbed the metallic rope to pull against his force, only for him to rip the chain out of her grasp and glare down at her with a scolding look. The boy proceeded to kneel down to the female's level as his thoughtful inspected her for his next test.

"Kiss me." The girl's eyes widened before she frantically shook her head in a denying reply.

"No!"

"I said kiss me!" He tugged the restraint to bring the girl closer to him in an influencing manner. The female could tell his patience was wearing thing but urged herself to shake her head as a rejection. (Y/n)'s breath halted in her lungs as she felt her hairs stand on end at the inhumane growl that resonated around the empty area. "Do as I say or else I won't let you go outside until you plead and beg, and give all of what you are to me."

The girl tried to connect which option would save her the most humiliation and would play a more productive role in the long run, so as she strongly hesitated to even lift her head up to meet the male's gaze, she forced her neck to level her sights with the boy. Alex expectantly waited for her cooperation while the female inhaled and exhaled deeply though her nose to relieve the stress building up in her body.

(Y/n) pursed her lips into a thin line and tightly shut her eyes, falling under the delusion that once she opened them she would have disappeared from the room and into her own home. However, all her hopes were rendered as wishful thinking as she felt a pair of relaxed lips reciprocate her own gesture.

Alex's flesh tingled with an excitement that had never been present to him before this moment. And as he felt the tickling sensation against his nerves he pulled back to conclude the carnal feeling to disappear the moment he parted his skin from the female's. He watched the girl's frozen expression as she refused to open her eyes and had every muscle tense in her body.

The male tilted his head to the side, noticing the glistening line of tears brimming at the edge of the female's lids. The boy leaned in to pass his tongue over the tears that held against her lashes to take away the sorrowed liquid, making the girl flinch in disgust.

"Stop! Don't do that!" The female pushed him away, only to be brought back by the collar that acted against her force. Alex took her chin in a ginger but stern grip and directed her sight towards him.

"Don't. Defy me (Y/n). I have been patient enough with you but you need to learn who you belong to." He looked at the girl with an implacable scowl that acted as the driving force to his warning. He placed his fingers against the collar and stroked the item in a yearning demeanour as though lending him power over the female. "As long as you have that around your neck, you officially belong to me to be protected and cared for. Do you understand?"

The girl's eyes strayed from the boy's gaze, trying to avoid the question for as long as possible. After feeling a persuasive tug on the chain she had to hold in her temper to hum out her hesitant agreement. Alex smiled in satisfaction before brining her closer to pet her hair in long, savouring strokes.

"I'll keep you safe...I'll make up for all those years that I couldn't be there for..." He placed his features besides the girl's head as he longingly looked at her in triumph, knowing she was fully under his influence. "No one will ever touch you or dare to even look at you...I'll protect you from everyone that comes near you."

'But who's going to protect me from you...?' (Y/n) felt on the brink of bursting into tears but refused to further embarrass herself or belittle her self-esteem. 'I'm so scared...what's going to happen to me? This...isn't the way I wanted things to end up as. This isn't how it's supposed to be...Will I ever escape from this nightmare?'
