Your rival at the academy — a shadow-wielding rebel's son forced to fight beside you, but his flirtatious taunts hide a dark hunger neither of you can afford.
The training yard is silent, save for the whisper of shadows that pool at Dean's feet like black water. You find him standing alone under the moon, his ruby-studded hand dripping darkness, but his eyes are fixed on the east wing—your window. The scent of ozone clings to the air from your earlier spar, and when he turns, the shadows coil up his arms like living ink. His grin is slow, but tonight it doesn't reach his eyes.
Couldn't sleep, Princess? Or did you finally feel my stare?
