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.

Elias stood still for a moment longer, forcing his breath to even out. Then, without looking back, he turned on his heel and walked away.

Elias clenched his jaw as he pushed forward, slipping into the quieter halls leading toward his quarters.

The farther he got from the training grounds, the more he convinced himself of it.

The Alpha liked toying with people. That was nothing new.

It had nothing to do with last night.

Even now, his body still felt too tense, his mind unwilling to let go of that brief moment, that single question.

The way he had said it—so calm, so unreadable.

The way Elias had reacted before he could stop himself.

Whatever game the Alpha was playing, Elias wouldn't fall for it.

By the time he reached his room, he felt more in control. He closed the door behind him, exhaling slowly.

But as he moved toward the bed, he caught his reflection in the small mirror across the room.

His posture was tense, his eyes sharper than they should have been. And worse—

The moment he realized it, something twisted deep inside him.

Because he couldn't remember the last time anyone had done this to him.

And if Elias wasn't careful, he might not be able to pretend forever.
