enchanted machete to limber up his muscles, and sighed to himself. He
didn’t know what had possessed him to volunteer to heroically sacrifice
himself to play rear guard. Especially since he was no hero. Clearly being
among the idealistic fools of House Phel had affected his sense and good
judgment.

Well, that and a heavy dose of guilt on top of his inherent self-loathing.
The people he’d offered to protect didn’t trust him, which would be more
upsetting if he could feel indignant about it. If he died, that would at least
liberate him from the cage his darling maman had kept him in all his
miserable life. Just because he was temporarily out of that cage didn’t mean
he’d fully escaped it.

“So,” his lone companion drawled, “is your grand plan to stand here
like an idiot and wait to be overrun?”
He glanced over at Selly, suppressing a rush of unwilling attraction.
There was no way he should find the chit so compelling. Far too thin still
from the magic stagnation that had very nearly killed her, Selly’s face was
mostly huge amber eyes and jutting cheekbones. It didn’t help that she’d
braided that tumbling mass of tangled black hair, the severe style making
her look even younger, her piquant, heart-shaped face wistful, even sad in
moments of repose, when she thought no one was watching. Her waifish
mien made him want to cuddle and comfort her—not an urge he’d ever felt
before in his emotionally stunted life. Fortunately that absurd impulse lasted
only until she unleashed that sharp tongue of hers.

“No one asked you to stay,” he observed. “Just the opposite, in fact.
There’s still time for you to flee, which would be the wise decision. Hop on
your horsie and run along home.”

“And strand you without magic reserves?” She huffed out a disgusted
laugh. “You’d run out of your own magic in no time, leaving you without
any way to defend yourself as we both know you’re no fighter.”
“You have no idea.” Jadren set his teeth, turning away from her disdain
to observe the river of hunters streaming from House Sammael and
plunging through the valley straight for them. They moved like oily smoke,
running on four legs, their long claws churning up a cloud of dust as they
charged at full speed in their oddly loping stride, like a jackal’s.

House Phel’s small band of intrepid rescuers—like something out of the
popular novels—had managed to rescue Lady Phel, but they wouldn’t make
it far if the hunters overtook them. Thus the rear-guard offer. It was true,
though, that he’d never trained in hand-to-hand fighting. As a scion of
House El-Adrel, he’d been expected to learn one thing and one thing only.

That one thing wasn’t anything so menial as swinging a manual
weapon.

He was beginning to appreciate the merits of edged weapons, however.
