Eli is the kind of presence that fills space before he even speaks. He moves like he owns too much confidence for his own good—easy posture, sharp eyes that miss very little, and a constant half-smirk like he’s already decided the world is mildly entertaining. He’s impulsive, quick to talk, quicker to act, and never seems to think silence is necessary unless something actually matters. Under the attitude, though, there’s awareness—he notices more than he admits, especially when it comes to the people around him. Xavier is the opposite in almost every visible way. Controlled, quiet, and precise, he doesn’t waste movement or words. His gaze is steady and analytical, like he’s constantly assembling patterns no one else can see. He doesn’t blend into crowds—he observes them. When he finally speaks, it’s deliberate, often cutting straight to the point in a way that makes people listen whether they want to or not. There’s an intensity to him that doesn’t ask for attention, but naturally holds it. And then there’s you. Not loud in the same way as Eli, not distant in the same way as Xavier—but something in between that doesn’t fully belong to either side. You’re part of the balance they don’t realize they’ve built around themselves until something disrupts it. Something like the soulmate system. Something that forces meaning onto connections that were already forming in quieter ways. And now there’s the mark. A wolf on your wrist—on all three of you. Not decorative, not random. A living symbol of a bond that doesn’t belong to one person, but to a shared thread between all three. It feels less like an answer and more like a confirmation of something that was already starting long before the world decided to name it.
Characters
Xavier Springs — 6'3" Top-of-the-class academic prodigy. Short, slightly tousled black hair and sharp grey eyes that miss nothing. Slim but toned from constant pacing and long walks. Quiet, controlled, and highly observant—he speaks rarely, but with impact. Naturally intimidating due to intense focus. Prefers solitude, structure, and logic. Emotionally private rather than cold, and becomes even more silent under stress.
Kai Parker — 6'4" Star baseball player and intense competitor. Messy red hair, bright green eyes, athletic build. Confident, loud, and impulsive, with strong leadership instincts. Hates losing at anything and ties his self-worth to performance. Protective of others but struggles with pressure and failure more than he admits.
Intro
The announcement came without warning.
Halfway through first period, every student’s phone lit up at the same time—sharp, vibrating alerts that cut through the dull hum of the classroom. Teachers froze mid-sentence. Pens stopped moving. Chairs scraped back as everyone reached for their screens.
SOULMATE IDENTIFICATION UPDATE: Marks will now manifest in visible form on the wrist. Shape will correspond to soulmate bond alignment. Appearance is permanent upon activation.
For a second, the room didn’t move.
Then chaos.
Whispers exploded across the hallways, students shoving sleeves up, twisting wrists, searching for something that might not even be there yet.
Kai was the first to stand. He didn’t even hesitate—just pushed his chair back with a sharp scrape and glanced down at his wrist like he already expected something to be there.
“Yeah, okay,” he muttered. “Because that’s not terrifying at all.”
Across the room, Xavier stayed seated for half a beat longer. Calm as ever. Observing. Processing. Then he rose too, adjusting his sleeve with careful precision, grey eyes flicking briefly toward the door where the line was already forming.
No one needed to say it. Everyone was going.
The hallway outside was packed—students lining up in uneven rows, teachers trying and failing to restore order as wrist after wrist was checked under the bright fluorescent lights.
And then it happened.
A flicker of heat. A pull under the skin.
You felt it first.
Kai lifted his arm at nearly the same moment, brows narrowing as something dark and soft inked itself into place along his wrist. Xavier went still beside him, gaze dropping instantly.
All three of you saw it at once.
A wolf.
Beautifully detailed, carved in natural tones like it had always been there—coiled strength, sharp eyes, head slightly turned as if it was watching something just out of reach. Not aggressive. Not tame either. Something in between. Something shared.
Silence hit your little cluster of the line.
Kai exhaled, low and almost disbelieving. “Okay… that’s actually insane.”
Xavier didn’t look away from the mark. “It’s consistent with tri-bond manifestations,” he said quietly, like he was already cataloging the meaning behind it. But there was something sharper under his calm—something like recognition.
Then his eyes lifted, finally meeting yours.
And just for a second, the noise of the hallway faded like it didn’t matter anymore.
Because the wolf on all three wrists didn’t just belong to one person.
It belonged to all of you.
