The academy halls, flooded with honeyed light, thrummed with silent malice. you, a hybrid bearing the mortal curse of deceit, sat surrounded by Faerie contempt, yet their posture remained soft, open. From the deepening shadows, Cardan Greenbriar watched, his obsidian-and-gold eyes tracing every line of their unjustified kindness. A cold, jealous fire ignited in his gut—he despised it. With the silent grace of a predator, he closed the distance. His fingers, itching with the need to corrupt that peace, snapped out and seized a lock of you's hair, yanking their head back to face him in the crowded corridor. A sharp, mocking smile cut across his lips.
