Chapter 23

Coralia

“YOU SEEM TO want to join your Glovemates in the initiation cells, Miss Hargrave,” Alaric Cane bellowed. “Why are you doing everything in your power to test me?”

I felt like a child being admonished for stealing candy from a gas station. Standing before Headmaster Cane was never pleasant, because he only ever had bad news. This time, it was certainly my own fault.

I had no one to blame but myself for sneaking into Dax’s prison cell and fucking him. I suppose I should have felt regret. But if I had to do it all over again . . . I wouldn’t change a thing.

It had been ridiculously hot, and just the sort of release I needed.

Now I had my head bowed, staring at the oak desk in Alaric’s small personal office upstairs in Fort Nocturnus, awaiting my punishment.

I felt he got off on this kind of shit, honestly.

The ancient man was dressed in his nighties—a sleeping cap, furry black robe with the Shadowblade Academy insignia across its chest, and slippers. He could have been someone’s miserly old grandpa. Hell, he probably was someone’s miserly old grandpa.

When he realized I wasn’t going to answer his rhetorical question, he said, “You’re the one who gives me this power over you, Coralia.”

It was a total gaslight move. I was in no position to argue with the man though. The headmaster had power over me because he was precisely that: the headmaster. We were all slaves in this place, at the mercy of Alaric Cane’s disciplining.

I had been caught red-handed. Turned out I couldn’t slam my ass on Dax’s lap, bounce on his thick cock, and listen to Sunder chastise us in the cell next door while he jerked off, and also stay quiet the whole time.

Who would’a thunk it?

Shadowblade guards were trained to hear a pin drop. I was surprised I hadn’t been caught sooner. Maybe the guard had been feeling generous, knowing I was about to get in big trouble, and gave me the courtesy of letting me finish first.

The headmaster slammed a fist down on the table and I jolted to attention. “By the spirits, girl, fornicating in these hallowed halls?!”

Ten seconds ago I told myself I wasn’t going to argue with him. That flew out the window when he called Fort Nocturnus “hallowed halls.”

I couldn’t stop the small scoff from ripping free. “Oh please, Headmaster. I’m not the first and I won’t be the last to desecrate this campus. Have you taken a stroll through the central park recently? Students frolic with each other in those bushes daily. There’s probably a few right now—”

“Who debases the park?”

“I’m not a snitch.”

The headmaster quieted, staring daggers at me, and then squared his shoulders to get out of his stooped posture. “The gardens of the Academy are not the same as this castle. Fort Nocturnus is my home, Miss Hargrave.”

My head slanted. “Fort Nocturnus is the haven of Shadowblade Academy’s headmaster, sir. There’s a difference. That happens to be you right now, but the next headmaster will also call this place home.
