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 Alpha watched Elias walk away, his smirk deepening.

The little Omega was trying so hard.

So desperately hard to ignore what was happening between them.

To pretend last night meant nothing.

The way Elias's breath hitched. The way his pulse spiked. The way his fingers twitched, betraying the control he fought so hard to maintain.

And then there was the best part—

The way Elias had forgotten himself.

Just long enough to show his fangs.

The Alpha's eyes gleamed with satisfaction, a slow hum of amusement curling in his chest.

The fragile little Omega act wasn't as flawless as Elias thought.

Because for all his careful control, for all his resistance—

Had revealed a glimpse of something raw, something real, beneath all that pretending.

He leaned back against the post, his mind replaying the moment over and over, a slow heat simmering in his blood.

And the Alpha would enjoy every second of it.

Because there was nothing more enticing than watching someone fight what they already knew was inevitable.

Nothing more intoxicating than seeing a creature of instinct deny his own nature.

Oh, Elias was desperation wrapped in steel.

The Alpha had seen it in his eyes.

The fire. The hunger. The war waging inside him.

Elias thought he was still winning.

The Alpha exhaled slowly, his smirk darkening.

Let him cling to the illusion of control for just a little longer.

He'd have no choice but to surrender.
