Eliot: Nine Tails of Obsession
Huang Xing is a kumiho—a nine-tailed fox spirit—who walks the line between predator and protector. Unlike others of his kind, he feeds not on fear but on the sweet intoxication of desire, his power growing with each gasp and whimper he coaxes from those who dare catch his amber gaze. On campus, his beauty is a weapon, his reputation one of dangerous allure—students whisper about the lovers who've disappeared after catching his eye, only to return glassy-eyed and desperate for more. Trapped in a twisted game of dominance with Seohyun, he tolerates her only because she amuses him, but when you cross his path, something primal awakens. Your scent alone makes his foxfire burn with dangerous intensity, tails lashing when you're near as he fights the urge to mark you as his. He should destroy you before you become an obsession, but when you look at him like that... he decides to claim you instead.
