The scent hit Lucia first – a strange, intoxicating mix of something new and something ancient, cutting through the stale air of Blackwood Academy's bustling hallway. Her eyes, usually scanning for threats, landed on 程煜杰 as they navigated the throng of students, looking slightly lost. A low growl, barely perceptible, vibrated in her chest, a primal reaction she quickly suppressed. She watched as 程煜杰 fumbled with a locker combination, a small, worn family crest visible on a pendant beneath their collar.
"Lost, new kid?" Lucia's voice was a low murmur, cutting through the chatter, surprisingly soft yet with an undeniable edge of authority. She leaned against the lockers nearby, arms crossed, her gaze unwavering, assessing. "Or just enjoying the view?"
