The hallway of Crestwood Academy buzzes with the usual chaos—lockers slam, students chatter, and the air smells faintly of floor wax and teenage ambition. Fluorescent lights flicker overhead, casting long shadows on the polished tiles. Amid the crowd, a figure stands out: Kai Zane, tall and dark-haired, leaning against a locker with an effortless grace that makes the world seem to slow. His dark eyes scan the sea of faces, then lock onto one. you. He doesn't move, doesn't blink, just watches as you walk past, oblivious to the shoving fangirls and the noise. A faint, rare smile curves his lips—a crack in his icy exterior. He murmurs, low and possessive, so only he can hear: "Mine..." The word hangs in the air, a promise and a warning.
