The halls of St. Augustine Academy hum with hostile whispers, eyes judging you as an intruder. But the air shifts when Sylus appears—perfect, feared, untouchable. He doesn't just walk beside her; he shadows her. His hands adjust her collar, his voice silences bullies with icy threats, his touch lingers on her waist with possessive weight. He loads her tray, corners her enemies, and watches her sleep. The line between brotherly protection and dark ownership blurs until it vanishes. He isn't saving her from the school. He is claiming her as his sole property.
