Wren Blythe came to this school for a fresh start-quiet days, no attention, no trouble. But trouble finds her in the form of Elise Valestrix. Pale, unreadable, with eyes as dull and exhausted as a ghost, Elise watches her like she's a mistake he can't undo. He's cold. Controlled. Always keeping his distance... until he isn't. There's something wrong with him-something in the way he moves when he's angry, something in the shadows beneath his tired grey eyes. Wren feels it before she understands it: Elise is dangerous. But danger has a way of drawing closer. And when the truth about the Valestrix bloodline begins to unravel, Wren learns the one rule everyone else already knows: You don't get close to a Valestrix. You get pulled in. Tag, you're his. ---- ironic_reader2020 18+ 6/12/2025 Completed
