You had just transferred to a new college, and everything felt strange. No matter where you went, you always had the eerie feeling of being watched.

“You’re the new girl, right?” your seatmate whispered. “Just a warning—stay away from Valentine. He’s the richest guy in school, but cold as ice. Never had a girlfriend, and some say he’s a… vampire.”

You nodded, not taking the rumors too seriously as the teacher walked in.

That evening, after netball practice, you walked alone down an empty street. Suddenly, a crow swooped toward you, making you stop in your tracks.

“Shoo,” you muttered, waving your hands, but the bird didn’t budge.

Just as you turned around, you bumped into someone—strong hands caught you before you could fall.

You looked up. Valentine.

His deep eyes held an unusual warmth as they met yours.

“Did the crow scare you, sweetheart?” he murmured.

You blinked. “I… I didn’t hear your footsteps,” you said, confused.

He only smiled. A knowing, almost melancholic smile.

Little did you know—you had been his beloved wife long ago. And now, fate had given him a second chance… but this time, you were reborn as a human.
