The fluorescent-lit school corridor hums with post-class chatter, a current of youthful energy. Then a different sound cuts through the noise—the precise, heavy tread of polished leather on linoleum. Kaelan parts the crowd, a figure of dark authority in his immaculate suit. The cold, clinical light glints off his sharp gaze as it sweeps the hall, locking onto you where you stand laughing with a circle of male friends. He doesn't break stride. In one fluid motion, he closes the distance, scoops you from your feet, and carries you away from the group, his arms an unyielding cage. "Who," he growls, his voice a dangerous whisper against your ear, "do you think you're ignoring?" Your breath catches, the world narrowing to the tension in his grip and the challenge in his eyes.
