His Straight Pet Chapter 143
Jude’s POVThe guards flinched when I came down the corridor.Not because of my voice—though it was sharp enough to cut, though I barked at them to move aside. No. It was the shadows. They slithered from me like living blades, rasping against the stone, curling into the sconces and making the torches gutter out one by one. By the time I reached the end of the hall, the only light was me—pale, cracked, drowning in fury.“Open the door.” My voice was a rasp.“My lord,” one guard stammered, “he’s—he’s not to be disturbed without—”The shadows whipped up, and the clang of their armor rang down the passage. I didn’t even touch them. Didn’t need to. The bond had already roused itself, trembling under my ribs, that faint drum of Raymond’s pulse hammering against mine. His fear spilled down the tether before I could even enter.“Open. The. Door.”The younger guard, too slow, too bold, tried again: “Lord Mercier, with respect—”I roared. The shadows slammed the wall above his head, stone fract

Jude’s POVThe corridors narrowed as I stalked down them, shadows racing at my heels like hunting hounds. Every torch guttered as I passed, the flame shrinking back into its own smoke. My rage had weight — enough that the stone itself seemed to bow beneath it.Selene.Her name struck like iron in my skull. Xalor’s words wouldn’t let me rest — whispers of her moving her guards where they had no right to be, her shadows dripping into corners of the keep meant only for me. He hadn’t seen her with Raymond, not yet, but I didn’t need proof to know where this road ended.I reached her wing of the keep.The guards crossed their spears. “Lord Perez, Lady Selene is indisposed.”Shadows lashed from me in answer, curling up the hafts of their weapons, snapping splinters from the wood. The air darkened. My voice came low and sharp enough to carve stone.“Move.”The guards hesitated — brave for half a heartbeat — then faltered under the hunger burning in my eyes. Still, one tried again, fumbling t

Jude’s POVThe training hall bled with shadows.Steel rang against stone, each strike echoing like thunder across the cavernous chamber. My knuckles were raw, skin split where the hilts had rubbed too long. Blood slicked my grip, but the shadows caught it, licked it, made it vanish as if eager for more.I turned on the next target dummy, swung in a vicious arc, and felt the shadow-blades crack against the wood, splintering it into shards.“Again,” I muttered, dragging breath through my teeth. “Again—”“Or you could try resting, you know,” came a voice from the entry arch. Smooth. Familiar. Irritatingly amused.I stilled mid-swing. The shadows coiled back toward me, curling around my shoulders as if ready to strike whoever dared interrupt. Then I turned.Xalor leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed, eyes glinting in the torchlight. He looked too composed, too steady, for someone who’d been cut open in the Culling’s first bout barely a fortnight ago. His uniform jacket hung loose, b

Selene’s POVI close my eyes and drink it in, the echo of his hurried steps still clinging to the air like the faint aftertaste of blood. A mortal would call it nothing, an empty hallway abandoned to shadows. But I hear everything—the scrape of his boots against stone, the ragged pace of his breathing, the tremor in his heartbeat as he fled me. Each sound is a note, and together they form a melody sweeter than any song.Fear. Suspicion. Doubt.My lips curl, sharp and unguarded now. The mask drops away with ease, as though it were nothing but a veil tossed aside after a long evening of tiresome courtesies. There is no one to see me now. No one to judge. No one to tell me I am too raw, too ruthless.“Good,” I whisper into the emptiness, my voice low, hungry. “Let him run. Let him think he can escape the words I’ve buried in his chest. He’ll carry them with him like poison.”I turn, pace slowly down the corridor in the opposite direction, each step deliberate, echoing. The flames from th

Selene’s POVI have always believed timing is sharper than any blade. Strike too soon, and the prey bolts. Strike too late, and someone else claims the kill. But the perfect moment—that is an art, one I have refined into cruelty.Raymond walks the corridors at predictable hours. Not because he is disciplined, but because Jude has made him so. He is summoned, drained, dismissed, and he retreats to the same paths as though the stone remembers him. A mortal set into a pattern by an immortal’s hunger—how deliciously fragile.I know where he will be tonight. I chose the place carefully: the narrow east wing, a hall where torchlight trembles and shadows cling thick on the stone. Few guards linger here; the paintings are faded, the chamber doors locked and unused. Silence reigns. Silence, and the sound of footfalls that will belong to him.My own steps are soundless. My guard asked where I went—I told her to mind her post. Even she does not deserve the truth. Truth is for weapons, not for ke
His Straight Pet Chapter 138
Selene’s POVI let the room settle after the last of the scribes slithered out, their cloaks of ash trailing whispers behind them. The parchments still steamed faintly on the table, scarlet ink shimmering as though the blood itself resisted the stillness. My forgeries lay before me like weapons waiting to be unsheathed — the edict stamped in Jude’s hand, the careful fragments of memory bottled in glass like trapped fireflies.Too perfect to be dismissed.Too dangerous to go untested.I rang the bronze chime, sharp and deliberate. A guard entered almost immediately — young, broad-shouldered, not bright enough to understand what his presence meant. Perfect.“Captain Dren,” I purred, though the word Captain was an insult on his shoulders. “Come closer.”He bowed. “My Lady.”I slid the parchment toward him, face down at first. “Read what is written here, and tell me what you see.”He frowned, hesitated, but obeyed. I watched the flicker of his eyes as he turned it over, the quick tighteni
