That was my face exactly as in read this!!
Blake's lips pursed before she carefully answered, "They did. But not anymore."

Wait… in. Chains? Umm.. no. Nopity nope nope. So.. what’s the other choice? Death? Or Henley ? Yikes. Not great, any of them
"No. Aries is the human bound in chains. You must have seen him around," and as the vampiress said this, realisation dawned on their faces. "It offers protection, but there's a cost. And it doesn't happen until after the second set of grades are released, which is months away."

Umm… y do I get the feeling that she will be bound to Lucian in the end?
"One way to avoid further trouble—become untouchable." Ruelle frowned. Untouchable? The vampiress continued, "Certain humans here are bound to an Elite. They can't be harmed because they belong to someone of higher rank. Like Aries."

Ok this girl is close to perfection… hard working, empathetic, intelligent, brave, not to mention beautiful… the list goes on…
Hailey smiled weakly, leaning into the comfort of the hug before they pulled away. "How do you always know just what to say?" she asked, her tone lighter. It was because comfort and reassurance were luxuries Ruelle had scarcely known—gifts withheld in her youth, but ones she had always longed to receive.

Nooooo!!!! He will take advantage of you!!! Not physical way but emotionally… what better way to get in your good books than to make you dependent on him
It was then that Ezekiel crossed her mind.

This makes me wonder where these teachers and their assistants are stationed. That Henley guy will be waiting to get his hands on our Rue… this is a perfect opportunity as well.
Ruelle smiled faintly, grateful for her friend's kindness. She replied, "Thank you, Hailey, but I should look for another place."

100% 👍🏼
Ezekiel had never mentioned working at Sexton. As far as she knew, her family wasn't aware of it either. He had spoken before about working for vampires in high society, but never did it cross her mind that his work would involve being an assistant teacher in a Seduction Techniques class.

Phew! Crisis averted…. I think?
"Miss Elliot, if you would be kind enough to join me," Ezekiel said, his voice assured. Hailey, with a mix of nerves and excitement, rose from her seat. The room was filled with curiosity, with every student—including Ruelle—wondering what this exercise was going to be about.

Aaaaaand when exactly did she become ‘your’ Ruelle?? Hmm?? You have the making of a stalker if I’m not wrong 🤔
As Kevin spoke, Ruelle's face grew warm. She hadn't expected such kind words from him. The sincerity in Kevin's voice made her feel exposed to people. On the other hand, Ezekiel stared at Kevin with a false smile as the young man praised his Ruelle.

Yep. It’s him alright.
"Except for one. But he won't take a roommate."
