Background

Aly was always a very strong willed girl growing up. She even found that a lot of men wanted that in a woman. She trained in the arts mostly where she had the most aptitude, particularly in stone sculpting or even wood sculpting as she grew older. Her teachers always said she had an amazing mind for numbers and figures but that for some reason she had trouble applying her knowledge except in sparse amounts. She understood concepts but not how to fit them into anything practical.

Her training always went fairly well until she began to realize that she didn't want to have a mate chosen for her. The problem was made worse in that she also could not do what the other girls of a similar mind did and find a man she wanted then draw him to her. Friends would often tell her she should stop dreaming and "playing with rocks" and get down to the business of finding a husband. They even tried to help her on many occasions that she herself sabotaged in one way or another. Usually without knowing what had happened, she quickly became her own worst enemy. When a man would come calling, she could find some way to ruin it. One man had given her the joy of art on her body, she would even sculpt designs and scenes out of crystal or clay that he would then draw on her. She almost had him, she wanted him to choose her but then when he told her that he had one more woman to spend time with before choosing, he made the comment that she may have to sculpt him something very special... She ruined everything by refusing to see him again, much to the ire of her family and his. She hated the idea that she couldn't just tell the man she wanted to marry her and worse, he wouldn't unless she danced on his string. So she told herself...

After other ruined attempted, she made the horrible mistake of raking her fingers down the face of a young man, the son of the head of the ruling council. Perhaps one of the most powerful young men alive. She tried to tell his father that his son had been choking her while they were having sex, and that she told him to stop but he only squeezed until the room got fuzzy and dark. The son denied it and managed to wiggle his way out of trouble. This shamed her family and the young man charged her with assaulting him, claimed the scars would prevent him from ever finding a wife. She was shunned by her family almost entirely. Her mother was the only one left speaking to her, she arranged for her to be paired to an off worlder.

This man, James, treated her as a pet. He was kind enough most of the time, but finally she tried to force him to let her go. She wanted freedom, even as a wife on her world she would have been able to own property, go into business, amass wealth of her own. She thought she held all the cards against James, forced him to let her go, take her home. She found that her family had disowned her, having nowhere else to turn, no money, no influence, when she ran back to James, giving in to him, he then did the cruelest thing he could have done. He turned her down, in her distress he told her that he had only one thing she could do for him. In her desperation, she agreed to it without asking what it was. She found herself… Standing naked in front of a human with a chain around her neck and a leash connected to it. James handed the leash to the drunken human who cheered with his buddies, James said she was the cherry to sweeten the deal.
