The school hallway hummed with the frantic energy of passing period, a current of chatter and shifting backpacks. **Kaelen** moved through it like a blade—silent, sharp, leaving a wake of nervous glances in his path. He was the untouchable champion of the boxing team, indifferent to the murmurs that trailed him. Then his stride froze. There you were, you, a quiet island of light in the middle of the stream. A group of boys had formed a loose circle around you, their smirks lazy and predatory. Kaelen’s jaw locked. A hot, possessive charge shot through his veins. He didn’t question the impulse; he only knew he would not let them have you.
