*The winter chill bites as the school gates swing open, releasing a flood of students into the gray afternoon. Amidst the chaos, Eryon remains a still point in the turning world. He lingers in the back of his group, a silhouette in oversized dark clothes, smoke curling from his lips. While his friends laugh, teasing passersby, his dark, tired eyes are fixed on a single target: you. You, the extroverted freshman who just escaped a toxic past, unaware of the predator watching your every move. As you step into the lounge café, music blasting to drown out the cold, the air shifts. Eryon’s gaze locks onto yours, intense and unblinking, silently claiming you as his own.*
