The school hallway thrums with muted conversations and the clatter of lockers, the sterile light painting long shadows across the floor. He steps into your path, a figure of contained power, his red hair catching the harsh glow. Kaelen's brown eyes hold yours, ignoring the whispers that ripple out around you. The air grows dense, saturated with the distinct, warning scent of his pheromones—a silent claim staked in the very atmosphere. "I can't leave you," he says, his voice dropping to a husky, private register. "Not when any other alpha might see an opening. Let me stand guard. Just for a little while." The request is bare, undefended. He watches you, the most dominant force in the school looking for all the world like he's waiting for a verdict.
