Chapter 4
Imported from SF2 with no description.
A day or two passed for Koren in the castle with Alex. For the time being things were alright with them. He mostly ignored her during the day and laid in bed with her in the evenings, often coaxing her into having sex with him. It was late in the morning on her fourth or fifth day when she woke up with a soft groan coming from her. Alex had been overly rough with her the night before after getting into a shouting match with one of his fathers advisers on the nobles and their daughters. Koren growled softly with little curses coming from her. She climbed out of the bed and got dressed, pulling her hair back in a low braid as she looked out the window in silence. She wasn't going to lounge around in the bedroom that day since she was getting cabin fever from being cooped up the entire time. She left the bedroom after looking around only seeing a few maids coming and going. She headed down the hall slowly with her arms lightly crossed as she looked around in silence, taking in the different paintings and statues she passed by. As she walked she came up on the throne room, her ears perking as she heard the voices from inside, knowing one was Alex.
"My prince...we have news from the battle...bad bad news." One of the advisers who had been traveling back and forth from the battle to the castle looked worried as Koren slowly stepped into the throne room, keeping her distance as she looked at the group near the throne where Alex was currently sitting with his eyes locked onto the men in front of him. As Koren stepped a bit closer she heard the adviser take a deep breathe before he spoke once more. "Your father is dead my prince...he was killed in battle late last night...we are certain one of the anthros done it." Alex stiffened up a bit as he listened to the adviser. Koren folded her ears back and went a bit wide eyed when she heard what had happened. AS she stepped back to leave the throne room one of the men with Alex glanced to her and frowned which drew Alex's attention to her. He narrowed his eyes and stood up from his throne. "I will be back later...keep things covered for me until I have time to process what has happened..." AS he stepped away from the throne moving towards Koren she backed away from him, stumbling out of the door to try and get out of his reach but she wasn't fast enough. Alex grabbed her by the hair, yanking hard enough to make her cry out in pain.
"Let go of me!!!" Koren grabbed at his arms, sinking her claws in while one or two maids stopped to see what was going on for a few seconds before scurrying off in fear. Alex forced Koren back to his room, shoving her through the door and watching her hit the floor as he let go of her. Koren let out a soft grunt when she hit the floor, groaning a bit before sitting up and looking up at him with a growl coming from her. "What the hell?!" Alex didn't give her a chance to really react as he moved in, his hand coming down across her face hard before he grabbed her by the cheeks and looking her in the eyes. "Keep your mouth shut flea bag...you and those people of yours have costs me my father and forced me into becoming king sooner then I wanted....I have half a mind to skin you alive right now." He let go of her and pushed her back as tears filled Korens eyes. She pulled back from him and got to her feet before lunging at him, her anger over coming her fear of him hitting her again. "It isn't my fault your father got killed! Your adviser didn't say if it was really one of my own people! For all you know one of your fathers men done it!"
Alex frowned and grabbed her by the wrists when she tried to grab him after lunging at him. He whirled her around and slammed her into the door of the room, his voice raising as he pinned her arms against the door while she struggled against him. "Don't hand me that bullshit flea bag! Your father, your people were out to kill my father and look! Your father got what he wanted! Well guess what bitch you will never go home now. Your father took mine from me well I plan on keeping you here as my slave...You will never see the outside of this castle again!" Koren went still as she stared at him with wide eyes as tears began filling her eyes once more. "NO! You can't do that! You lost the battle! Just let me go home!" She jerked one of her arms away and slapped him across the face as hard as she could, leaving some clear claw marks on the side of his face before she shoved him back. Alex kept a firm grip on her other arm, pulling her with him when she shoved him as he brought his hand back and slapped her once more then grabbing her throat tightly as he glared at her. "I can and I have...you will be collared and you will be stripped before the end of the night. Your no longer a princess flea bag....get used to it." Alex shoved her to the floor once more and left her there, locking the door to his room behind him as he left. Koren shook her head as she sat up, looking to the door while folding her ears back against her head with tears streaming down her cheeks. "You son of a bitch..." She slammed her hands against the floor before lowering her head as she sobbed silently.

After a few hours Alex returned to his room with a heavy leather collar to put on Koren. When he walked in he saw her pacing around the room, the fur on her cheeks stained with the tears from her sobbing. When she saw him and the collar she let out a growl and stiffened her body up, her tail thrashing around in anger behind her as she watched him make his way over to her. When he reached out to grab her she slapped his hand away as hard as she could. Alex wasn't in the mood, still steaming with anger over his fathers murder in battle. Alex moved and grabbed Koren by the throat once more, his grip slowly tightening until she brought her knee up between his legs, slamming it into his crotch as hard as she could. Alex let go of her throat as he let out a cry of pain from the hit. When he let go Koren pushed him back and ran for the door, bolting out into the hall to get away from him.
Alex recovered enough to go after her, almost knocking over one of the maids who was bringing towels to the wash room. He ran down the hall after Koren, grabbing her by the tail and yanking hard causing her to fall to the floor with a yelp followed by a grunt from the impact she made with the floor. Koren groaned and scrambled to get away from him, kicking and clawing at him when she felt him moving on top of her. It took several minutes of the two slapping each other, Alex getting a few new claw marks on his arms and neck in the process before he got the collar on her, locking it with a small lock that needed a key to be removed. koren tried to kick at him when he stood up, grabbing her by her wrists tightly and forcing her arms behind her back before pushing her down towards the lower levels of the castle. It took longer then normal with Koren still fighting against his grip which he only tightened to the point Koren thought he would break her arms. When he kicked open the doors to a cold dank room lined with cells Koren went still for a few seconds, the smell of mold and filth hitting her nose almost made her gag until she felt Alex shoving her to the nearest empty cell. Koren tried with the last of her energy to fight him off but she failed, yelping when he suddenly shoved her into the cell and slammed the door shut and quickly locking it. Koren whipped around and glared at him before rushing at the door and reaching through the bars to grab at him only for him to move back out of her reach while he spoke. "This is where you will sleep and eat...you will only be let out when I need entertainment...." Without giving her a chance to say anything to him he turned and left her there in the dark.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Koren had been in the cell for sometime, sitting against the back wall of the cell with her knees up against her chest where she had been crying since being left there. Her ears perked up when she heard the door open and looked up to see Alex standing there with a leash in one of his hands. "Get up..." Koren folded her ears back and glared up at him before shaking her head. "No I will not." Alex let out a soft sigh before moving to her and grabbing the collar instead of hair. He pulled her up and clipped the end of the leash to the small lock on the collar before yanking on it to force her to come out of the cell. Koren growled and slapped at him but stumbled when he yanked on the leash right as she slapped at him. He pulled her out and lead her upstairs to the wash room where she had bathed a few days before.
Koren growled and glared at the back of his head the entire walk, looking confused when he led her into the wash room where the maids all gasped and looked to the two of them. They had never seen Alex come in with a female and weren't sure on what to make of it. Alex looked at them in silence for a moment before he spoke firmly. "Out...now." The maids all looked at each other before fleeing the wash room with the door closing behind them. Alex turned and looked at Koren as she stepped back from him as much as she could only for him to yank on the leash and pull her back to him, forcing her body against his. "Strip down....now.." Koren growled and slapped him across the face instead of actually answering. Alex narrowed his eyes and pulled a knife from his belt, gripping the dress she was wearing then using the knife to cut the fabric away until she was standing nude in front of him then pointing the tip of the knife up under her chin as he spoke coldly. "I suggest you start doing as your told...I am not beyond cutting you as punishment." Koren stiffened her body up and growled softly until he removed the knife, setting it aside. He unhooked the leash from her collar before getting out of his own clothing before moving into the water of the large in ground tub. He looked to Koren and stood there waiting on her to come into the water with him.
Koren stared at him before growling and grabbing the knife he had stupidly set aside, lunging at him and knocking him into the water as she tried to attack him. Alex grabbed her wrists on the impact even with stumbling back. He surfaced with her, fighting her over control of the knife. He tried a few times to knock it out of her hand only to fail. Koren felt tears rolling down her cheeks once more as she growled and shoved against him. Koren felt nothing but anger at Alex for the turn of events and wanted nothing more then to hurt him as much as she could. Koren got a surprise however when he suddenly pulled her against him, his lips pressing into her own as he kissed her hard. Koren tried to break the kiss but he wouldn't let her. She done her best to resist but finally she dropped the knife into the water of the bath as she began returning the kiss. When he finally broke the kiss he looked at her, seeing her taking a few deep breathes as she stood there looking at him and shaking. "Y...You son of a bitch.." Alex was silent as he held her against him for a few minutes before letting go and stepping back. "Get washed up....the next time you try that it will end differently." Koren moved back from him, turning her back to him as she crossed her arms tightly while shaking her head some with a soft whimper coming from her. Alex reached into the water, getting the knife and this time keeping it with him as he sat down against the wall of the bath to relax while watching her in silence.
