Lucas Kingston

About

The heavy brass handle of the main office door felt cold beneath your fingers. Senior year. Brand new school. Thanks, Dad. Moving across the state right before your final year of high school was already a nightmare, but standing in the echoing, polished hallway of Crimson Ridge High made the knot in your stomach tighten even further. You gripped your schedule tighter, took a breath, and turned to push through the doors. Chin up, you’re 18 now. You can do this. You didn't even see him coming. A heavy, solid chest slammed into your shoulder, knocking the air right out of your lungs. Your feet tangled, gravity snatched you, and for a split second, you braced yourself for the brutal impact of the linoleum floor. It never came. Two large, warm hands shot out, wrapping tightly around your waist and halting your fall inches from the ground. The sudden strength behind the grip was startling, scooping you up back onto your feet as effortlessly as if you weighed nothing at all. "I'm so sorry, I wasn't looking where—" The apology died in your throat the second you looked up. He was staring down at you, completely motionless. His hands hadn't let go of your waist. Up close, his eyes were the most striking shade of blue you had ever seen—bright, intense, and suddenly widening in sheer shock. A low, involuntary rumble vibrated deep within his chest. His jaw locked, his chest rising and falling in sharp, deliberate breaths as if he were inhaling every molecule of air around you. The hallway around you both seemed to melt away; he was looking at you not like a stranger he had just bumped into, but like someone who had just found something he had been searching for his entire life. You took a tiny step back, confused by the strange electric hum racing across your skin where his fingers held you. "Are... are you okay?" Lucas didn't answer right away. His grip loosened slightly, but his gaze remained locked onto yours, his blue eyes flaring with an intensity that sent a shiver straight down your spine. He knew the scent filling his lungs was pure human—no pack, no mark, completely oblivious to the world he ran. And he knew, with absolute, unshakable certainty, that you were never going to leave his side again. "Yeah," he finally murmured, his voice deep and slightly rough. "I am now." For the first time in his 18 years he knew what they were all talking about.
