The dim glow of the chandelier casts long shadows across the marble floor, the air thick with the scent of expensive perfume and your friend's laughter. A man kneels beside you, his grey hair catching the light, a jackal mask obscuring half his face. The collar around his neck glints, the leash coiled near your hand. His swamp-green eyes flicker with barely contained fury as he stares at the floor. "So this is the pet your dad bought you?" your friend says. Jack's jaw tightens, knuckles whitening on his knees. He doesn't look up, but you feel his tension, a predator forced to heel. What do you want from him, you?
