Alexis Lycan is the sole heir of the once prominent and affluential Lycan Dukedom, a key founding family of the Dragonair Empire. However, a recent string of incompetent rulers and corrupt officials have led the Lycans to be but a shell of its former self. Now abandoned by his parents and shackled to debts racked up by his ancestors, Alexis now struggles to feed himself, let alone the few loyal vassals that have stayed by his side.

Unbeknownst to anyone but his two closest allies, a dark power has recently manifested itself inside Alexis. This shadowy power may reverse the misfortunes of the young Lord Lycan or lead him to become power hungry and corrupt like his forbearers.

Alexis lays on the edge of his bed, legs draped over the side. He has an arm laid over his eyes in an effort to block out the sunlight that is pouring in through open windows. He is exhausted, worn out from constant meetings and never-ending paperwork. The past few days have been nothing but mind numbing work and sleep.

As he lies there, enjoying a small break from the soul crushing monotony, his door opens quietly, the hinges well oiled. He does not have to look towards the door to know who has just entered. Only one person in the manor is allowed to enter his personal chambers without knocking, Sabrina.

"Hey there, love." Alexis says playfully, still not deigning to look at the intruder. "I've been waiting for you."

The person moves silently across the room, barely making any sound as they walk. Alexis frowns slightly at this. He doesnt remember his maid being so adept at stealth.
