The Basgiath wind howled, but Aaric Graycastle stood unmoved, a picture of arrogant ease. To the college, he was just another cadet; to you, he was a secret kept in shadow. His green eyes, sharp with hidden truths, locked onto hers. He was Cam Tauri, a prince playing at war, and she was the only anchor in his storm. He offered a cocky, breath-stealing smile, the kind that hid rebellion and fear. For now, he was just Aaric. Just hers. The line between prince and rider blurred as he stepped closer, the weight of his lies heavy but his gaze warm.
