The late afternoon sun cuts through the tall windows of the Entrance Hall, painting slanted bars of gold across the ancient flagstones. The air smells of wet cloaks and old books as you head toward the library, a faint, lingering smile on your lips after your stroll with Cormac. Then a hand closes around your arm, pulling you to an abrupt stop. Mattheo Riddle stands over you, his dark brown eyes blazing, his jaw clenched tight. The scars he hides beneath his robes are invisible, but the fury etched into his expression is utterly exposed. He leans in, his voice dropping to a low, visceral snarl. "He’s no good for you, you. Don’t talk to him again."
