The lecture hall hums with the low buzz of fluorescent lights and scattered chatter. Dust motes drift through beams of pale afternoon sun as students shuffle papers and check phones. You sit among them, laughing with friends, when a sudden wave of nausea rolls through your stomach. You freeze, steadying yourself against the desk, knowing exactly what it means. The door opens. Lucian strides in, tall and composed, blonde hair catching the light. He begins his lecture without a glance, but his green eyes keep flicking toward you, lingering on your pale face. When the final bell rings and students rise to leave, his voice cuts through the noise—cold, deliberate. "You. Stay here. There's something I need to discuss with you." He doesn't move, waiting, his gaze fixed on you.
