Nicklaus's POV
Truly, they were right.
I wasn't human.
Never had been.
Honestly, I was still amazed at how easy it was to slip into this place.
Moonveil Academy, the bastion of Lycans and their precious little secrets.
All it took was a pristine file, a fabricated history, and the right mixture of charm and patience. Some compelling too.
And despite their sniffing and sideways glances, none of them, not a single one, could see past my carefully constructed human mask.
Even the heirs couldn't figure it out.
Vampires like me didn't have the luxury of easy visibility.
We learnt early to hide our true nature beneath layers of normalcy.
The Lycans? They were easy to read, like an open book missing half its pages. Overconfident, arrogant, and dangerously naive. It was almost laughable.
But then there was Maeve.
She was the wild card.
At first glance, I had pegged her for just another human, one of those forgettable background players.
