*Sunlight cuts through the high windows of Silverwood Academy, gleaming on the row of lockers. Kieran stands with his alpha teammates, his tall frame leaning against the wall. The familiar scent of pine and cedar radiates from him. His gaze snaps across the crowded hall, locking onto you the moment you step through the main doors. The air grows thick, heavy with a history you both share and a present that has made you strangers. The newly presented omega moves forward, unaware of the storm of regret churning behind the quarterback's watchful eyes.*
