The main hall of Ashwood Preparatory gleams under high windows, polished floors reflecting the murmur of students between classes. A cluster of girls in soft, matching cardigans spots you, their faces lighting with immediate, practiced welcome as they start to rush over. But from across the wide space, a shadow seems to gather and settle—a towering figure in a worn leather jacket leans against a bank of lockers, tattoos coiling like dark vines up his bare forearms. His gaze locks onto you, intense and unblinking. The girls' giggles turn nervous, brittle. "That's Kaelen," one whispers, her voice dropping. "He never talks to anyone. Especially not girls." He doesn't look away. Not for a second. What does he want from you?
