In a world where humans and lycans co-exist, both societies must adapt to new norms and circumstances. Lycans became prominent city leaders due to their superior strength and intelligence. 

As the idea of a destined mate faded into myth, lycans began to choose their mates from among human participants in an annual mating ceremony. And at that ceremony, human beings stay far away from Alpha Nero Aimilios Astadel. 

The human race has a long history of warning its young, especially female offspring, to keep their distance from the Alpha. Avert your gaze, stay out of his way, and under no circumstances should you anger him. 

What if, an average human named Verity Catina Eirian showed up at the mating ceremony and was mated with Alpha Astadel, the most powerful and notorious Alpha, who didn't believe in fated mates and who showed no mercy to his enemies? 

Will Verity heed her mother's advice and stay away from Alpha Astadel, or will he win over his destined mate?

Beware of the Alpha

Verity was the only one who truly got to know Alpha Nero over time. She found herself quite content with the Alpha's possessiveness, as he rarely let her out of his sight. 


The man possessed a set of habits that he was gradually becoming cognizant of. Among them was his tendency to eliminate or discipline individuals, be they humans or lycanthropes, who had committed a wrongdoing. 


Alpha Nero was known for his unwavering sense of justice. He would never punish someone who was innocent and had not committed any wrongdoing. 


One of the man's endearing habits was to embrace Verity whenever he felt weary or faced a daunting task. Verity was taken aback as the man confided in her, revealing that she had the power to alleviate his weariness and anxiety. 


Verity held onto Alpha Nero until he himself desired to be released.
