I came to Blackwood Elite University to stay invisible. No one was supposed to notice me. No one was supposed to care. Then Rhys Hawthorne looked at me like I was his. Like I'd always been his. One moment I was walking through the hall- the next, my back hit the wall, his hand around my throat, his voice in my ear. "I'm going to make your life a living hell." I don't know him. I've never met him. But he knows me. Watches me. Follows me. Controls everything around me like I already belong to him. And the worst part? Something about him feels... familiar. _____ A Glimpse I'm invisible. A scholarship student surviving in a world I don't belong to. That's how it was supposed to be. Until storm-gray eyes lock onto mine across the hall. And everything changes. He moves fast-too fast. Before I can react, my back slams into the marble wall, the impact stealing the air from my lungs. A gasp tears out of me. His hand wraps around my throat. Not choking. Holding. Claiming. "Hello, sweetheart." My pulse jumps wildly under his thumb as the entire hall falls silent. "Get off-" "No." His lips brush my ear, sending a shiver down my spine I refuse to acknowledge. His fingers close around the silver necklace at my throat. "You don't know me, do you?" "I've never seen you-" Something dark flashes in his eyes. He yanks the chain just enough to pull me closer, my breath catching as the world tilts. "I'm going to make your life a living hell, Lyra," he murmurs. "Until you remember why you're mine." Then he's gone. Just like that. Leaving me shaken, breathless... and terrified. That night, I find a photo of myself sleeping slipped under my door. Day one. You're already mine. You just don't know it yet. -RH ___ A dark romance with a possessive antihero, "touch her and die". "His to Fuck | 18+" is a standalone dark romance novel.
