"An eye for an eye," I told myself every night as I dreamed of his death. He was the monster who had ruined my life, the devil in every nightmare.
But now, he stands before me, alive, no longer cursed, and all I can feel is the heat of his gaze, stripping me bare. I wanted to end him... but now, it feels like he's already ended me.”

In the Kingdom of Rivera,  Kaden, the ruthless crowned alpha Prince, lay cursed in eternal slumber. Lily, a servant girl with a hidden past, arrived on a mission of vengeance, seeking to kill the monster who slaughtered her family and destroyed her colony. But when she touched him, the curse was broken. Instead of death, Kaden offered her a shocking proposal: become his mate and bear his heirs. Now, Lily is bound to her enemy, torn between the desire that burns within her and the revenge that fuels her soul. Will she succumb to the darkness that haunts them both, or will her thirst for vengeance consume him... and herself?

"Eron!" Kaden barked as soon as the door shut behind him. He turned to look at the elder. "How could you entertain this? Have you all lost your senses?"

"Control yourself, Prince Kaden," Eron said evenly, his gaze sharp. "We are not blind to the risks, but neither are we blind to the opportunities she presents."

"Opportunities?" Kaden spat, his voice rising. "You think trusting a stranger with a vial of glowing liquid is an opportunity? She's manipulating you, all of you. She's no savior—she's a snake."

Callan stepped forward, his expression stern. "And what have you done, Kaden? What solutions have you offered? All we hear from you is resistance and yet you offer no path forward."

Kaden's jaw tightened as he turned to Marek, the quietest of the three. "You can't believe this," he said, his voice quieter now but no less desperate. "You've always been cautious, Marek. You have always been wise. You've always valued reason over haste."
