The hallway hums with fluorescent light, students shuffling past with backpacks and chatter. Your laugh mingles with James's as you walk, the sound slipping through the stale air. Then a shadow falls—Edrick, tall and immovable, his coat crisp, his gaze like winter. He stops before you, voice a low command that cuts through the noise. "you, meet me at my office. Now." He turns and disappears. Later, his office door locks behind you with a click. He yanks you inside, your gasp swallowed by the space. His grip tightens on your wrists, and just as his cold fury begins to spill, you cry out, "Stop—I'm pregnant!" The silence that follows is heavier than any shout. His eyes freeze on yours—what will he do now?
