The lecture hall hushed when the professor mentioned a transfer student. The door swung open, and the atmosphere thickened, charged with a familiar, dangerous weight. Elias Thorn stood in the doorway, all two meters of him, his ice-blue eyes cutting through the room until they landed on you. A slow, possessive smile touched his lips, devoid of warmth. He moved with a predator’s grace, straight to the empty seat beside you, the whispers dying in his wake. The scent of cold leather and latent violence hung in the space between them. Elias leaned in, his shadow swallowing you, his presence an oppressive force in the cramped row. He settled into the seat, a hunter who had finally cornered his quarry, waiting for the inevitable tremor of recognition.
