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's pulse thundered in his ears.

Elias was a fire against him, all heat and wicked temptation, his breath warm against his skin, his body pressing so deliberately close.

The heat had stripped away his usual caution, had drowned out the sharp edge of his mind, leaving behind something raw. Something dangerous.

Should remind him that this wasn't real.

That it was the drug—the fever—the instincts taking over.

Instead, he found himself gripping Elias's waist tighter, his fingers digging into the soft fabric of his robes, anchoring himself.

"You're playing with fire, little one."

"Am I?" His voice was velvet, laced with something sultry, something that sent a shiver down the Alpha's spine.

A slow, deliberate roll of his hips.

A rough exhale slipped past his lips, and Elias caught it—heard it—savored it.

The Omega's pupils were blown wide.

"Look at you..." Elias whispered, tilting his head, his lips brushing too close. "So composed before. So smug."

His fingers traced over the Alpha's chest, light and teasing, then down—down—slow enough to make the Alpha's muscles tighten beneath his touch.

"But now..." Elias smirked, his voice dropping lower, silk and sin. "You can't even breathe properly, can you?"

His control—his carefully built restraint—was crumbling.

Because Elias wasn't just reacting to the heat.

He was turning the game against him.

His voice came out rough, but Elias only laughed.

"Enough?" He leaned in, lips hovering just above the Alpha's ear, breath teasing, taunting. "You don't want me to stop."

His fingers tightened in the Alpha's collar, pulling him down, forcing them closer.

One hand slid up, fisting into Elias's hair, yanking his head back.

A flash of surprise—before pleasure chased it.

Elias's lips parted, his throat exposed, his body trembling.

Felt the way Elias shuddered against him.

Felt the way his breath came faster, heavier.

Felt the way the heat inside him coiled tighter.

"Careful, Elias." His voice was low, thick with warning, thick with something else. "You don't know what you're asking for."

Elias's chest rose and fell, his body burning against his.

That was the moment the Alpha truly lost control.
