She Was Never Meant to Notice Him

Everyone feared him.

The college's most infamous senior-cold, unreadable, and carrying a reputation that made people lower their voices whenever he walked past. He never smiled. Never apologized. Never cared.

Until he saw her.

One glance was enough.

From that moment, she unknowingly became the center of his world.

She was everything he wasn't-gentle, cheerful, breathtakingly beautiful, and effortlessly kind. She talked to everyone with the same warm smile, never realizing that every smile she gave someone else made his jaw tighten.

To the world, she was free.

To him...

She already belonged to him.

He never confessed.

He watched.

Protected.

Waited.

Anyone who tried to hurt her disappeared from her life before she even realized they were a threat.

But unlike everyone else, she wasn't weak.

She was innocent, not foolish.

She questioned his silence, challenged his possessiveness, and refused to let fear decide her life.

As obsession slowly turns into love and love begins to resemble obsession, one question remains...

Can the Beast ever deserve his Beauty?

Or will his desire to keep her forever become the very reason he loses her?
