His Straight Pet Chapter 74
Jude’s POVPower is best measured in the silence it commands.The chamber was quiet—properly quiet, the kind forged by obedience and reinforced by stone walls older than most of the names whispered in the Veil. It wasn’t the hollow quiet of an empty room; it was the silence that came from knowing no one would dare break it without reason.My desk was a slab of polished blackstone veined with silver, carved from a single block dragged out of the Hollow Mountains centuries ago. The surface was layered with documents—ledgers from my human holdings, sealed scrolls bearing the wax insignias of Houses I both trusted and tolerated, reports from the border provinces about supply lines, troop movements, and the shifting loyalties that came with the Tournament’s approach.My eyes moved from seal to seal, reading not just the words but the intent behind them. In the Veil, language was always coded, and those who didn’t know how to read between the lines never lasted long.Outside my door, the Va
His Straight Pet Chapter 73
Raymond’s POVThe door shut behind me with a sound too soft for its weight, as though the air swallowed it whole.I wasn’t alone.Xalor stood half a step to my right, near enough for me to feel the edge of his presence but far enough to never touch. He was taller than I remembered—lean and narrow, his build all precision, no wasted bulk. His eyes were pale silver, unblinking, locked on me as if memorizing each movement.Guard. Warden. Both.The servants here didn’t move like those in the hall. They weren’t lined in rows but drifted in slow, deliberate paths, gliding across the polished floor without a sound. Their eyes passed over me in brief glances—never long, but enough to make my skin prickle.Xalor’s voice was low, nearly under his breath.“This way.”Not a request.I went with him. Not because I trusted him, but because standing still meant letting the room press in.We crossed beneath archways carved with twisting vines that seemed to shift when the light caught them, down corr
His Straight Pet Chapter 72
Raymond's POVI immediately observed that the room was extremely quiet.It was not the soothing quiet that you experience on a still country evening, when the trees sway gently and the wind stirs through the cornfields. It was a thick, oppressive quiet, where the air appeared to be breathing. It pushed against my ears until I could hear my own heart. The large hall lay before me, with thin, tall windows admitting thin beams of moonlight that sliced through the air. The stone beneath my feet was illuminated brightly enough to shine on my face—my face, however, did not seem quite right. The shape of the surface made my eyes appear a bit wider, a bit more frightened than I actually was.I swallowed hard. I hurt my throat.The maids were in two rows along the corridor, heads bowed and arranged in line. They did not shift, move, or blink. They seemed like marble statues—if marble could silently breathe, only visible when one was holding breath.They were lovely, but not naturally. They wer

Jude’s POVThe moment the Obsidian Carriage passed through the Seraphin gates, the weight of the Vampire Veil pressed in harder. This was my domain, carved out of centuries of blood-debts and dominance, yet even here, the air vibrated with tension. The Crimson Court would be watching. They always watched.Xalor was already at my side when I stepped out. His movements were precise, controlled. But I saw it—the flicker in his eyes. He felt it too. The Veil wasn’t dormant tonight."Your apartments have been prepared, my Lord," Xalor said, gesturing toward the northern wing of the stronghold.The fortress walls loomed high, carved with the serpentine insignia of House Seraphin. No banners hung; I didn't need to remind them whose ground they stood upon. The very stone whispered it.As we ascended the staircase, the murmurs of unseen attendants echoed softly. Dusk-servants, bound to the will of House Seraphin, their forms shifting between shadow and flesh. They drifted along the arches, eve
His Straight Pet Chapter 70
Raymond’s POVCrossing into the Vampire Realm wasn’t what I expected.I thought there’d be fanfare. Thunder. Maybe some supernatural lightshow that screamed, “Welcome to hell, human.” But instead, it was quiet. Eerily quiet. The kind of silence that isn’t natural, as though the world itself was holding its breath.We sat in the Obsidian Carriage, Jude across from me, calm as ever. He hadn’t said much since we left his mansion, just the occasional glance my way, like he was waiting for something to crack. Maybe me. Maybe the world.Outside the window, the scenery blurred into shadows. The road didn’t exist. Not really. It was just a line drawn through a place that didn’t want to be tamed. Mist coiled around us, tendrils slithering over the Carriage like it was testing for weaknesses.“You’ll feel it soon,” Jude had said when we started the journey. “The Veil doesn’t like humans.”He wasn’t lying.The moment we passed the Threshold—a massive archway made of blackstone and bone, etched w
His Straight Pet Chapter 69
Jude’s POVThe office was quiet when I returned. The silence wasn’t peaceful—it was thick, heavy. The kind of quiet that came before a storm. I walked straight to the sink in the corner, turning the faucet. Cold water gushed out, washing over my hands.Blood.It clung to my skin, dried in streaks and patches. Some of it was mine. Most of it wasn’t.I scrubbed harder.The sink stained pink as the water carried it away. I watched it swirl down the drain. No matter how much I washed, it still felt like it was there. It wasn’t about the blood itself. It was about what it represented.Challenges.Tests.Defiance.Behind me, the door creaked open. I didn’t need to turn to know it was Xalor."You let them bleed," he said, his tone even. "But you didn’t kill them all."I dried my hands slowly, folding the towel with precision before placing it on the counter. "Killing them would’ve been a waste."Xalor stepped into the room, his boots clicking softly against the marble. He stood a few feet be
