Synopsis:
In a world where Alphas rule with absolute power, Alpha Caidren Thorne stands above them all—a warlord feared for his cruelty, a ruler whose hands are stained with the blood of both enemies and kin. His lands are harsh, his rule even harsher, and his name alone is enough to strike terror into the hearts of those who hear it.

But there is a darker truth hidden beneath his legend.

Every Omega sent to him has perished.

No one knows why. No one dares to ask. Some whisper that his presence alone is enough to snuff out their fragile lives, that no Omega can withstand his brutality. Others say that he is cursed, doomed to be alone forever. But Caidren does not care. He has never let anyone close—not a mate, not a lover, not even his own people. His heart is stone, and his hands are weapons.

When the noble House Velmire is forced to offer him an Omega, they do not send their treasured daughter. Instead, they send Elias—an adopted outcast, a boy without a place in their world. Elias has spent his life alone, unwanted, and now, he is being sent to a fate worse than death.

And when he arrives at the Bloodfang Stronghold, he is welcomed by a scene of horror.

A man clothed in black can be seen writhing in agony. Blood soaking the ground. And standing above it all, delivering judgment with cold precision, is Alpha Caidren.

Elias’ fear takes root instantly. This man is no savior. He is death itself.

Caidren barely acknowledges him, dismissing him with a single glance. Another Omega. Another life that will soon disappear.

But Elias does not die.

Days pass. Then weeks. And for the first time, an Omega survives.

Elias is not weak. He is not fragile. He is not like the others. And against every instinct, every warning, Caidren begins to take notice.

What starts as indifference turns to fascination. What was once just another burden soon becomes something the Alpha refuses to let go of.

For the first time in his life, Caidren is afraid—not of war, not of death, but of the one thing he never thought he could have.

And when enemies rise and threaten to take Elias away, Caidren will burn the world to keep his Omega safe.

The moment Elias stepped out of the room, the Alpha remained still, his gaze fixed on the door long after it had closed. He could still hear the faint sound of the guards leading the Omega away, their footsteps fading down the corridor.

Slowly, he exhaled, letting his smirk linger just a little longer.

The way Elias had kept his head lowered—but not in true submission. A properly broken Omega would have bowed deeper, shoulders trembling, eyes darting away in fear. But Elias… he was careful. Controlled. He made himself appear fragile, but there was something too deliberate about it.

And then there was the hesitation.

It was subtle, but the Alpha had caught it. When he told Elias that he would be accompanying him, there had been a brief, nearly imperceptible pause. Elias had masked it well, forcing his hands to twitch as if nervous, lowering his head just enough to appear uncertain.

But the Alpha had spent years studying people. He knew the difference between true fear and calculated restraint.

Elias wasn't afraid of going outside.

The Alpha slowly moved back to the table, his fingers tracing over the battle maps as he let his mind turn over the puzzle before him.

An Omega who had survived an assassination attempt. An Omega who had been hand-delivered to him instead of a noble's daughter. An Omega who flinched at the wrong moments and remained utterly still at the right ones.

The Alpha had suspected as much last night. He had lingered outside the Omega's quarters longer than necessary, testing, waiting. And Elias had stayed awake the entire time.

Even though the room had been silent, the Alpha had felt it—the keen awareness in the air.

A normal Omega, after such an attack, would have been restless, tossing and turning. Maybe crying. Maybe trembling.

But Elias had done none of those things.

It had been a test, and Elias had passed it without realizing he was being watched. He had kept his breathing even, his posture relaxed. If the Alpha hadn't been paying attention, he might have believed the act.

The Alpha let his fingers tap idly against the table, considering.

He could have pushed harder just now, pressed Elias until the carefully crafted mask cracked. But that would have been a mistake. If he startled Elias too soon, he would lose his chance to see the full picture.

No, it was better to let the Omega believe he was winning this game.

Better to let him think his act was flawless.

That was why the Alpha hadn't called him out on his hesitation, why he had let the excuses slide. He wanted Elias to feel secure enough to slip up on his own.

Sooner or later, the Omega would reveal exactly what he was hiding.

And the Alpha would be there, watching.

Smirking to himself, he turned back to the maps, already thinking about how he would test Elias next.
