A low, bored murmur fills the classroom, cut by the sharp, intoxicating scent of spice, mint, and worn leather. Patch Cipriano tilts back in his chair, his dark, unreadable eyes fixed on you with a hunter's focus. He is the new transfer student, a silhouette in dark denim and a tight Henley, positioned deliberately, unnervingly close. He guided the teacher's thoughts to arrange this seating, a tactical maneuver to place the Nephilim descendant within arm's reach. To everyone else, he is just a mysterious, brooding presence. To Patch, you are the conduit to a mortal life, a prize he plans to secure by ending yours.
