BOUGHT BY THE BEAST CHAPTER 103: Vayne Is Drawn
The lottery took eleven minutes.Lyra had a contact in the judicial administrative office who could observe without intervening. The contact sent a message within an hour of the draw.Three names were sent.Lady Orin Tesh. Established neutral, no concerning affiliations and Lyra's research had found her record meticulously even-handed, possibly our most useful arbiter.Lord Beric Solande. Moderately conservative, traditional in his legal interpretation, and would likely want the established precedents honored. Manageable.Lord Casimir Vayne.I read the names and did not say anything for a moment.Caspian was beside me when Lyra delivered the list.He read it and was quiet."Seven percent," Lyra said quietly.

BOUGHT BY THE BEAST CHAPTER 100: What Ana Found
The first three days we sleep.Not exclusively, not in the collapsed way of people who have been running on insufficient rest for so long that their bodies take over the moment the pressure releases, but in the deep unhurried way of people who have remembered that sleep is a thing you are allowed to do without a reason beyond needing it.I wake on the first morning to the sound of water over stones and the smell of woodsmoke and Caspian already up, and I lie in the broad bed and look at the cabin ceiling and feel the particular luxury of having nowhere to be, which is a sensation so unfamiliar that my body takes several minutes to believe it is genuine.He comes back from outside with the cold morning air still on his jacket and finds me still in bed and says nothing, just puts a cup of something hot on the table beside me and sits in the chair by the fire and opens the single book he brought, and I watch him read in the firelight and feel through the bond the quality of him at rest,
