Raymond’s POV

My head’s splitting, like someone’s driving a spike through my temple. The bandage wrapped around it pulls tight, itching where the stone gashed me open last night. Jude’s bed is too damn big, the furs heavy, smothering, like they’re trying to bury me. His chambers reek of ash and metal, the air sharp enough to cut. That kiss keeps clawing at my mind—his lips crashing into mine, all teeth and hunger, my blood bitter on his tongue. It should’ve sent me running. Should’ve made me hate him. But I’m still here, tangled in his sheets, heart hammering like it’s trying to escape my ribs.

What am I to him? His lifeline? His prey? The council’s words echo in my skull—pet, weakness, chained. Jude’s shadows ripped the hall apart, and I was the idiot who chased after him, thinking I could drag him back from the edge. Then his hand hit my chest, slamming me into the wall, and for one heartbeat, I saw death in his eyes. Not because he wanted it. Because he couldn’t stop it.

  • His Straight Pet   Chapter 210

    Jude’s POV“Morning’s quiet for once,” Raymond said, light already spilling through the broken-in windows.“Feels wrong,” I muttered, dragging on a shirt, the soft cotton still smelling of smoke and metal. “No alarms, no assholes trying to kill us.”He grinned, brushing my arm. “We earned it.”“Damn right.” I looked out across the stronghold. The ruins finally looked alive again—market stalls half-built, kids running where we’d once fought. The world breathing again.“You thinking about the blade?” he asked, joining me by the window.“Always. Thing started all this.”“It ended it too.”“Yeah,” I said, watching the sunlight flare off the rebuilt tower. “Guess that’s balance.”Dante’s boots thudded behind us. “You two lovebirds up yet? There’s breakfast—or something that pretends to be breakfast.”Raymond laughed. “If it’s your cooking, I’m skipping.”“Smart man,” Dante said, clapping him on the back. “But eat anyway. Akira says we’re toasting the end of the world at noon.”“End of the

  • His Straight Pet   209

    Raymond’s POVMorning light crept across the stone floor like it had finally chosen to forgive this place. It caressed the walls of our repaired chambers in the fortress, soft gold oozing through the gaps Jude still hadn’t filled. He constantly stated, “Let the light remind us what we survived.”I blinked awake to the sound of him talking over a skillet. The stench of burning eggs hit first.“Ray,” he murmured, voice scratchy with sleep. “Don’t you dare say anything about the smoke.”I sat up, stretching till my shoulders split. “Wasn’t gonna. I was just going to compliment the… um, texture?”He flashed me a look over his shoulder—part threat, half smirk. “Texture’s fine. You’re eating it anyway.”That’s Jude. Gruff as hell, but there’s a warmth under every cuss word. He pushed a plate in front of me and leaned against the counter, like he wasn’t watching for my reaction. I forked a bite, chewed dramatically, and nodded.“Perfect,” I said. “Tastes like victory and mild carbon.”He lau

  • His Straight Pet   Chapter 208

    Jude's POVThe house was too quiet.Way too quiet.The kind of silence that was dense, heavy, and strange, like fog. The wind always sounded odd when it hissed at the windows, like a whisper that didn't belong there.I stood in the middle of the room with no shirt on and runes carved into the floor around me. I could sense Raymond's power, a faint silver light, shimmering in the air and throbbing across my skin like a heartbeat. The last piece of the curse was buried deep inside me. It was eating away at the edges of my thoughts.Raymond moved quietly behind me. I knew it was him without even turning around. His warmth and the subtle pulse of his energy, which had been as familiar as my own breath, were palpable to me.He muttered, "You're trembling."I let out a quiet sigh. "Not out of fear."He turned to look at me, his face exhibiting a mixture of fierce resolve and fear. "Isn't it still inside you? The hunter's thing. "Yes." My voice sounded harsh. "It is inextricably linked

    Raymond’s POV“Stay behind me,” Jude growls, shadows sliding across the cracked stone. “That bastard’s still breathing.”“I’m not hiding,” I say, voice rough. “This ends with me.”“Hell it does,” he mutters, stepping forward, eyes burning red. “You think I’m letting some ghost from your past take another swing?”The air’s heavy with smoke and relic dust. The ruins of the cache still glow faint, blue veins pulsing like dying stars. Every breath tastes like iron.“He’s close,” Akira says, low. Her eyes scan the darkness. “Tracks go through that archway. Burn marks—same weapon type.”“Seraphin steel,” I whisper. “Old pattern.”“Then it’s personal,” Dante grunts. “Let’s smoke him out.”I shake my head. “No. I face him first.”Jude turns to me, jaw tight. “Ray—”“This is mine,” I say. “He came for me. For what I am.”Jude’s shadows twitch. “Then I’m right beside you.”“Always,” I say.He gives a low, dark laugh. “Damn right.”We step through the arch. The air shifts—cold, sharp. The Master

  • His Straight Pet   Chapter 206

    Jude’s POVThe first explosion hit before I could finish cursing.Stone dust rained down from the ceiling, coating the relics in pale ash. The tremor ripped through the ruins, shaking the floor under our boots.“Shit—” I spun, instinct kicking in. “They found us.”Raymond’s head snapped toward the breach. The relic cache we’d just unlocked—its walls still pulsing with Seraphin light—flared like a beacon for every hunter in the goddamn world. I felt his pulse through the bond: sharp, alert, scared—but ready.“Back-to-back,” I ordered, drawing my blade. “We hold this ground.”He smirked despite the chaos. “You mean you hold it while I play flashlight again?”“Don’t start,” I growled. “You burn too hot and you’ll drain yourself—”A screech cut me off. The first wave crashed through the broken archway—half a dozen Guild hunters, armored in black ashsteel. They came in like a storm of blades.I met them head-on.Steel rang. Sparks flew. I parried one blow, twisted, and slammed my hilt into

  • His Straight Pet   Chapter 205

    Raymond’s POV“Looks like the rogues left us a damn treasure chest,” Jude muttered, eyes glinting red under the ruined outpost’s flickering lights.“Treasure?” I said. “You mean the cache that tried to eat your shadows five minutes ago?”He smirked. “Yeah, that one. You coming or staying scared?”“Scared?” I stepped over the cracked altar, dust and rune ash sticking to my boots. “You were the one who said, ‘Don’t touch anything glowing.’”“That was before you started touching everything glowing.”I grinned. “You said to stay curious.”“I said stay alive.”“Same difference.”He gave that low growl that always sent a shiver through me. “You keep talking like that, sunshine, and I’ll pin you to that wall.”“You threaten me with a good time?”“Maybe I promise.”The air hummed between us, heavy with old magic.Akira’s voice cut in from behind the rubble. “If you two are done flirting, there’s a lock mechanism here. It’s breathing.”“Breathing?” I asked.“Like a heart,” she said. “Relic cac
