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's laborious efforts were not in vain, for Nero recognized her exceptional abilities and entrusted her with a copious number of tasks. 


Nero is involved in the action, and she is at the office. For more than a month, they had been engaged in this activity. Initially, she had only been lending a hand in the library, but now she found herself standing in Nero's office. Nero graciously assigned his assistants to aid her in the task at hand. 


Her emotions were inextricably linked to Nero's state of mind. If he was feeling the weight of stress, then she too would bear the burden of his anxiety. The Lycan Mayor's office had been inundated with a deluge of complaints. 


The room was filled with stacks of envelopes, each bearing the name of Nero. Verity had no interest in perusing the contents of the letters. She is well aware of the words inscribed on them.
