I do not own Game of Thrones nor am I making a profit from this story. It's written purely for my enjoyment of the books and tv series.
The castle felt colder than her home as the paintings of old Bolton family members stared down on Juliana in the hallway. The Bolton banner hung still on the stone wall; the flayed man who decorated it gave the bravest men chills. Juliana eyes darted down repeating quietly that the practice was abolished years ago.
"Your dress will be waiting for you in yours and Ramsay chamber" Lord Bolton dismissed us and walked up the stairs out of sight. Juliana stood and gawked at all the servants rushing around the castle; many were carrying candles and food for dinner.
"Ah! Reek! Juliana let me introduce you to Reek" Ramsay grabbed and tugged over a shaking man with light curly brown hair and stormy grey eyes. He was a thin looking man which may explain why he can't stand still however the first thing that intrigued Juliana was his name.
"Your name is Reek…" Juliana questioned him wondering if that was his real name.
"Yes, my Lady" Reek answered shifting about on his feet. Juliana arched an eye brow at his language; he must be from a noble birth as most peasants would say M'lady.
"Are you from a noble birth?" Juliana watched Reek fidget even more at the question before stuttering an answer.
"No, my Lady" Ramsay smacked Reek on the back and grinned at him. Juliana could never remember interacting with a servant like they were a friend; in fact, she has not talked to any servants back at Teale castle except her handmaiden but that was only to command her.
"Reek here was given away as a child because he could not produce any heirs to his peasant father and a slut of a mother." Ramsay leaded sarcastically over like he was about to tell Juliana a secret.
"He has no cock" Ramsay laughed when he felt Reek move around hastily in embarrassment.
"M'lady, I'm your new handmaiden Lysa" Lysa curtsied to Juliana without making eye contact to anyone. "I have to fit you into your dress, the ceremony will begin shortly. It is only a small ceremony which Lord Bolton, me and Ramsay's slave Reek attending." Juliana was about to follow Lysa who was already rushing to the stairs but she was being held back by Ramsay.
"Make sure the dress isn't too tight, I want quick access to that sweet cunt of yours" Ramsay smacked Juliana's ass before walking away with Reek. Juliana quickly ran up the stairs but when reaching the top of the stairs she forced herself to walk like a lady. Lysa was waiting for Juliana far down the bare hallway, the castle made Juliana feel like she's in a ruin. Everything was cold and dark which matched the personalities of the Bolton's.
Juliana's chamber give slight warmth with a newly lit fire but the walls covered in images of flayed men on the Bolton flag, reminded her of the darkness. The bed was vast and coved with animal skins which appeared inviting, the carpets on the floor tried to make the room look cosy but with the flayed men begging her with their eye's she could never feel comfortable.
"Your dress M'lady" Lysa held out a dark blue dress which had golden tread making curling patterns which started from the breast area to the end of the arms. The dress was long yet slim but looking at the amount of strings on the back of the dress made Juliana cringe and she started to feel the pain of being squished. "You'll look beautiful M'lady" Lysa encouraged whilst starting to remove Juliana's dress, while Juliana though more about the ceremony after the wedding.
Ramsay began to fidget with his dark purple cloak while he observed Reek in the mirror. Reek was brushing his cape trying to remove any hairs while making no eye contact with Ramsay.
"How did you find Lady Juliana Reek? How does it feel to know you'll never fuck a beauty like her ever again?" Ramsay continued to stare while pulling at the buttons of his shirt. Reek cringed again remembering he is no long a man without a cock to give women his seed. Ramsay waited for an answer but Reek was refusing to answer him. "I'm sure you can have a wooden cock but you won't feel anything and the women would be full of splinters. You'll never feel the joy of a virgin ever again" Ramsay continued to mock him before a servant entered the room requesting his attendance to the ceremony. Ramsay grinned at the pained face of Reek "Let's just get this part over with so I can fuck her."
Juliana studied herself in the mirror playing with her blonde hair which layered over her dress down to her waist. The dark blue dress made her bright blue eyes stand out along with her pale, the dress was beautiful. Juliana however could not stop fidgeting; all her reflection did was remind her of her mother. When growing up Juliana imagined a huge wedding full of flowers and beautifully stained windows of the seven gods, her dress would be white and large while her family watched her been given away by her father to a king. Instead Lord Bolton was giving her away to a bastard. The thought of spending her life with the Bolton family made her flinch but the thought of her being a Bolton made her feel sick. She would lose her noble name; Lady Snow was not a name she wanted. None of this was what she wanted. Yet this was her ending.
"It's time M'lady" Lysa began to lead Juliana towards the temple which was hidden deep in the fort. The servants bowed to her whilst she continued to follow Lysa deeper into the murky castle, Juliana began to take deep breaths while she stood outside the door waiting for Lord Bolton to give her away to Ramsay.
"Lady Juliana you look stunning but before we enter I need to talk to you" Lord Bolton informed her. Juliana started to shake on the spot waiting for Lord Bolton to speak. "I'm sure your aware of Ramsay and his ways, I just want to advise you to obey him or else he will punish you worse than your father could." Lord Bolton took Juliana's arm and commanded the doors to be opened. Juliana stared at the darkly lit temple with candles littered around to give light to the dim room, the glass windows held images of the old gods which looked hidden under dust and stains and the room was empty apart from Ramsay, Reek, Lysa and the Septon who all stood at the front of the temple watching Juliana's every movement.
Lord Bolton walked Juliana to the front and walked down the platform to stand a distance away from Lysa and Reek. Ramsay grinned at Juliana but Juliana knew there was a cold meaning behind it.
"You may now cloak the bride and bring her under your protection" The Septon declared. Juliana remembered, somehow, that the north worshipped the old gods of the forest. Maybe this was Ramsay's doing. Did he knew that she worshipped the God Of Seven? The neglected temple was hidden by the lack of light. Juliana turned slowly around as Ramsay placed the cloak around Juliana's shoulders taking his time to brush her breasts at every movement. Juliana quickly turned around to avoid any more groping in public and to prevent her cheeks getting redder with embarrassment. Juliana held her hand out waiting for Ramsay who grabbed her hand roughly and giving it a hard squeeze to inform her that he does not appreciate being denied.
"In the sight of the Seven, I hereby seal these two souls, binding them as one, for eternity." The Septon then looked at Juliana and Ramsay and command them to "Look upon one another and say the words." Juliana looked into Ramsay's cold eyes which held a look of boredom while he removed his eyes away from the bare wall to look at Juliana.
"Father, Smith, Warrior, Mother, Maiden, Crone, Stranger, I am his/hers and she/he is mine from this day until the end of my days." Juliana recited the line she had learnt since she was an infant however Ramsay said each word after Juliana which showed he clearly didn't know the words.
Ramsay pulled Juliana into a heavy kiss, he shoved his tongue into her mouth and tried to lick all of her mouth that he could reach. Ramsay started to push against Juliana's tongue to force her to respond but Juliana just froze refusing to do anything which caused Ramsay to shove her away in disgust.
"Looks like it's time to consummate our marriage, in the name of the gods" Ramsay grinned away and grabbed her hand and rushed away out of the temple which will be forgotten until the marriage of her children. Juliana kept tripping on her dress but Ramsay keeps running until they reached their chamber.
