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.

scarred by the Alpher, claimed by his touch.

The problem wasn't just what had happened.

It was that he couldn't stop thinking about it.

Even now, alone in the dimly lit room, his body was still too aware of the Alpha's touch—of the heat that had curled between them in the silence.

Elias had spent years mastering control. Learning to suppress every unwanted reaction, every instinct that might betray him. And yet, with just a few words, with a mere touch, the Alpha had unsettled something deep inside him.

A slow, frustrated exhale left his lips.

It was the way he had spoken—so calm, so sure, so completely in control. As if Elias was a puzzle he intended to solve, a secret he intended to unwrap.

"How long can you keep up this act before it shatters?"

His fingers twitched against the sheets.

It wasn't just that the Alpha had suspected him. It wasn't just that he had gotten too close.

The teasing way he had dragged it out, the way his touch had been more of a test than a threat—

It had felt like something else entirely.

Elias squeezed his eyes shut, his breathing shallow. He needed to bury this. To forget.

Because for all his resistance, for all his control—

A single, fleeting moment when the Alpha had leaned in close, when his warmth had brushed against Elias's skin, when his voice had dipped just so—

And Elias had felt heat pool deep in his stomach.

Something far, far more dangerous.

His jaw tightened, his breath coming unsteadily.

This wasn't real. It was a trick, a manipulation, a play for dominance. The Alpha wanted control over him, wanted to pick him apart piece by piece—wanted to own him.

And Elias would not let that happen.

Forcing his body to relax, he willed the heat away, burying it beneath layers of cold logic.
