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.

Chapter [X] – The Edge of Discovery

Elias moved through the fortress like a shadow, unseen but always watching.

The soldiers were careful. Too careful.

They spoke in whispers, their voices clipped, their conversations cut short whenever he passed.

And Elias had never been one to walk away from a mystery.

He stayed near the barracks, listening, piecing together fragments of words.

He shifted closer, slipping behind a pillar just as two soldiers stepped into view. Their faces were familiar—men who had been in the courtyard that night, who had whispered about "that time of the month."

"You think he knows?" one of them muttered, voice low.

"He's smart," the other said. "Smarter than the last ones. But it doesn't matter. When the time comes, he'll be gone like the rest."

His hands curled into fists as the truth sank in.

A soldier knelt before him, head bowed, voice steady.

The Alpha exhaled, fingers drumming against his knee.

Elias was too sharp, too perceptive. He wasn't like the others. He didn't cower, didn't crumble—he searched.

Now, he was dangerously close to the truth.

The Alpha leaned forward, a slow smile curling at his lips.

The soldier stiffened. "My Lord—"

"Let him dig," the Alpha murmured. "Let him run in circles, let him think he's getting close."

He stood, stretching lazily, amusement glinting in his eyes.

"And when he finally realizes the trap he's walked into—"
