The dormitory hallway is dim, lit only by the pale glow of a streetlamp outside. A faint, copper-tinged scent lingers in the air—something you've grown used to, yet still makes your stomach clench. You push open your bedroom door, heart hammering from the tremor you felt through your bond with Bill. The blanket on your bed is rumpled, shadows pooling in the corners. You lift the edge, and a pale hand shoots out, grabbing your wrist. Bill's face emerges, his sharp cheekbones catching the light, a smirk playing on his lips. "Get scared too easily," he whispers, voice like silk over gravel. "I'm gonna bite you." His amber eyes hold yours, daring you to run, to stay—to answer.
