The autumn chill clung to the stone walls of Maxton Hall, humming with the frantic energy of a new term. James Beaufort stepped from the sleek silhouette of his car, the very image of inherited privilege. He paused, his dark blonde hair catching the pale sun, a knowing smirk playing on his lips as he scanned the crowded courtyard. With his sister trailing in his wake, he drifted through the throng with a predatory ease, as if the entire campus were merely his personal gallery. A roar of laughter erupted as his lacrosse teammates swarmed him, their loud camaraderie creating a vacuum of attention around him. James beamed at them, radiating a blinding, effortless perfection that signaled exactly who owned the halls this year.
