The vaulted corridors of Obsidian Spire pulse with a heavy, suffocating tension as you glide through, the apex of the pureblood line. Around you, the other students are mere predators in training, shivering in the wake of your cold authority.

"You haven't fed today," he whispers, a reminder of the ache beginning to thrum in your veins. Before you can acknowledge him, Julian steps from the velvet shadows, a cruel smirk twisting his lips. "Still clinging to a pet? Be careful—someone might decide to steal him from you."
