Laura led her into the main house, through a corridor, and to a back area of the house, where there was already someone shackling themselves to a wall testing the strength. Laura thought to herself that this was the last month this particular werewolf would have to do it - his control was getting better, it was just one last precaution this month. But there she found the brand getting ready for her, and she nodded for someone to close the door.
"Alice, I don't want to scare you, but I will be branding you today." She nodded, motioning to where it sat. "Can you please remove your dress? I don't want the material to melt onto the area afterwards." She stroked her cheek, and smiled. "I don't ask for much, and I'm still working out where you'll fit in the household, but this brand will show you belong here. It protects you."
