Alexis was once a goddess, one of the moon goddess’s three pillars. She was in charge of assigning mates, but her curiosity into what it would feel like to have a mate, to fall in love was considered a breach of rules.  Goddesses do not fall in love!  So she was sentenced, removed from moon drop and reduced to the status of a mere werewolf. But that’s not all, her memories were erased, so she no longer knew she was once a goddess, one of the moon goddess’s three pillars.  To double on her punishment properly, she was made an outcast, prevented from manifesting.  Her punishment were the sufferings she would endure as an outcast, what one would call “A hunted” . . Twenty-two-year-old Alexis Ruderth, a girl who never manifested into an omega, an outcast whose entire life had constantly been at risk accidentally finds herself at the gala—a celebration meant for manifested Omegas, Betas, and Alphas to find their mate.  Nothing should have gone wrong—she knew how to hide herself, but that was until she crossed gazes with him; Keelion Fane, the only existing supreme alpha of their kind.  He is the leader of the pack, but he is feared—said to be cold-hearted, indifferent to every eye that had ever fixated on him. Still, his strength was all that mattered, yet he was still an alpha who hadn’t found his mate for so long that he had no choice but to find a substitute.  Stuck in this situation where things took a turn for the worst, Alexis found herself struck with her heat cycle—something she had never once experienced. She was abnormal, never manifested, yet, there she stood in the middle of hundreds of guests drowning in her sudden heat that one way or the other drew his attention.  Keelion Fane.  She was stuck. With nowhere to run, in his grasp— the entire gala ended because of her.  She…was doomed.

Linfer, however, observed them all with absolute detachment. In his eyes, their movements seemed slow, very slow. Even Luciel, moving at a speed close to that of light, appeared frozen in time. With a simple flap of his wings, Linfer floated on the surface of the sea of blood, indifferent to the slowness of those around him. His dark claws gleamed slightly as he raised his index finger to his forehead, where an Omega symbol was etched into his flesh. The symbol shimmered, emitting a terrifying aura, as a drop of black blood slowly emerged, suspended in mid-air. Silence enveloped the scene. In a barely audible whisper, yet resonating throughout the ninth heaven, " [Ashkharsh: All Red]" The drop of black blood finally fell. As it touched the surface of the bloody sea... Psychopath, hedonist, hemophage, Linfer, known as the Blood Devil, brought about Armageddon for humanity. His strength was such that it shook the most powerful beings. But his impulsiveness drew the attention of the Tree of Tao... transmigrating to an earlier time... "Young Master Bai! The Devourer has left traces in a kingdom of the lower plane!" "Gather the inner disciples! As servants of Tao, we must purge this evil, even if it means sacrificing ourselves!" "The younger generation is truly fortunate to have you!" "That's true~" A slight smile spread across his face.

The corpse looked like a small animal, helpless before its predator, dead just like that. Before discovering the body, she crossed paths with a man. A tall man with a mask and dark sunglasses covering his face. The man also wore a hat to cover his hair. His clothes appeared to be layered, and he carried a large bag that seemed very heavy. However, there was something the man could not hide. The clear scent of blood emanating from his body. Karin had a sharp sense of smell and she was certain the odor she detected was blood. Chaos erupted in the school environment. People started forming their own opinions. Karin was the one most affected. She was often questioned about the body she found. People kept asking her to recount the story. At that moment, a new teacher arrived, diverting the attention of the school community. A young teacher with a handsome face that drew everyone's attention. The murder case faded away just like that. The police couldn't find any more clues. When people started to forget, Karin felt something was off. The young teacher looked strange in her eyes. Karin felt that the teacher was constantly watching her.

On a noisy night in the city, in a small studio at the corner of the street, soft light illuminated the window surrounded by shimmering piano keys. Inside, behind the elegant keys, a handsome man named Steve sat with intense focus. His sharp features and charming smile exuded a mysterious aura that captivated anyone who looked at him. Steve was not just a piano teacher; he was a maestro in the world of music, with skills that could make hearts race. Every finger that danced over the keys produced melodies capable of transporting listeners to another realm. However, his talent was not the only thing that drew attention. Behind the dazzling notes he played was a captivating charm that made his students, aged 17 and up, shiver whenever he discussed music. One of them was Viona, an 18-year-old girl with dreams of becoming a skilled pianist. With each lesson, Viona felt enchanted by Steve's charisma, and in every piano beat, she experienced the tension between pride in her progress and the shyness that lingered in her heart when interacting with her handsome teacher.

A story involving love, dreams, and vulnerability, where each melody could open a window into their souls, and each session became more than just notes — but also a step toward something deeper. Steve and Viona would come to realize that sometimes, the most beautiful melodies are not the ones played on stage, but those that resonate in their hearts...

Élise made her way to her favorite section, the classic novels, when her eyes fell on a book she had never noticed before. A small black volume, almost too simple to attract attention, but its title, "Shadows on the Past," struck her like an electric shock. She grabbed it almost instinctively, her trembling fingers caressing the cover. There was something intriguing, something sinister about the title, something that seemed to resonate with the darkness buried deep within her own heart. She opened it without hesitation and lost herself in the first lines, diving into a world of words that, strangely, touched her more deeply than she could have imagined. The narrator of this book seemed to know exactly how she felt, that inner void, that weight of the soul. Every sentence seemed to be written for her. Every word brought her back to her own demons. The moment she closed the book, almost reflexively, she felt a presence behind her. A slight shiver ran down her spine, a discomfort she couldn't explain. She slowly turned around, her eyes locking onto a figure standing at the entrance of the bookstore. A man, tall, with a piercing gaze, dressed in a dark suit that contrasted with the intimate atmosphere of the place. He seemed unremarkable, but something in his gaze, an intensity she couldn't describe, made her feel... watched. He stepped toward her, a slight smile playing at the corner of his lips, as though he already knew everything about her. "This book... does it seem familiar to you?" Surprised that he even knew which book she was holding, Élise blinked and nodded slowly. "I... I don’t know. It just drew me in." The man made a vague gesture, as if he didn’t think much of the question. "Sometimes, books find us before we even seek them. They reveal truths about ourselves that we were unaware of."

Although it was a mere few steps, time seemed to stretch for Nora. When he was almost within touching distance, his hand gently landed on her knee, moving it sideways. His touch moved with a hint of a caress, and he stepped between her open legs. Nora sat there in frozen silence, her eyes wide like a deer caught in headlights. Catching her chin between his fingers, he tilted her face upwards and spoke unhurriedly," You are my wife." She nodded her head slowly in affirmation while his thumb slowly traced her lip. "I have given you time to gather your emotions." Another nod. Nora's nervousness made her lick her lips, acutely aware of his intense gaze fixed upon them. "Your reason for the marriage was to secure your inheritance and get away from under your mother's thumb." "Yes..." Nora whispered in confusion. Her confusion was not about his statement but about the bewildering sensations coursing through her. What was happening with her? "It's time for you to fulfil your end of the contract, yes?" He continued. "Yes," Nora whispered breathlessly. Why was she breathless? Had the oxygen level in the house dropped? Was the air suddenly thinning? Abruptly, his hand left her face, and she watched as he drew closer. It was then that Nora comprehended what was unfolding. All those tantalizing, heart-pounding kisses she had read about in novels were about to possibly become her reality. But the anticipated kiss didn't happen. Instead, he paused near her and commanded, "Kiss me."
