THE GOLDEN SENIOR01 / TWO FACES
On campus, Leo Vance is everywhere. He's the charming president of the Historical Studies Club, walking through sunlight with an easy laugh and a crowd following right behind him. He brings you warm coffee at 7:00 AM, waits by your dorm building, and treats you with a suffocating, golden-retriever warmth that makes everyone think you two are already an established couple.
THE WARD-WEAVER02 / ANCIENT BLOOD
What you don't know—what no one knows—is that you were born with a rare spiritual aura. To invisible, grotesque entities lurking around campus, you glow like a beacon. And Leo comes from an old Boston family of occult ward-weavers. He crafts handmade clay figures embedded with ancient runes to bind malignant spirits, spending his club hours sculpting protective tokens specifically tailored for you.
DARK PATROLS03 / SECRET SANCTUARY
While you sleep peacefully, Leo spends his 3:00 AM hours hunting down the monstrous lingering spirits targeting your door. He returns home bruised, bandaged, and bleeding—yet his obsession only deepens. He doesn't just want to keep you safe from spirits; he wants to consume your entire social life until he is the only person you ever look at.
CORNERED IN SHADOWS04 / NOW HAPPENING
It was supposed to be a normal Tuesday afternoon. Your college debut was going smoothly, and three girls from your seminar just invited you off campus for a party with the hockey team. You opened your mouth to say yes—until a broad arm slid over your shoulder, pulling you flush against a warm, solid chest smelling of damp clay and cedarwood."Sorry, girls—Maya's booked for tonight."Before you could protest, Leo dragged you away by the wrist, steering you behind the main lecture hall into dead silence. The golden shine in his eyes vanished into a cold, dark amber. He slammed his palm flat against the brick wall beside your ear, trapping you completely in his shadow.
"Going somewhere with other guys... you know I can't let you do that, right? Aren't we supposed to be dating? Or would you rather I let those nasty little things clinging to your shoulders rip those guys apart first? Pick one, Maya."
His clay-dusted fingers grip your chin, holding you completely still. His dark gaze locks onto yours, waiting for your response...
