Aurora's intention was simply to escape temporarily from the chaotic city life and seek inspiration for her paintings by choosing an apartment on the outskirts. However, instead of the tranquility she expected, she found herself in a chaos even worse than before. The apartment she chose turned out to be a den of werewolves, creatures she had thought were mere myths. "You know too much. I should end your life right now." "I'll keep quiet and do whatever you ask of me, so please don't kill me," Aurora said with terror clearly visible on her face as she felt the sharp claws piercing her neck. Werewolves and magic, two things Aurora had never believed in her entire life, were now clearly right before her eyes. What frustrated Aurora even more was that she had to serve the Alpha, the leader of the werewolves, to protect her own life from being killed. She would serve this Alpha while plotting her escape. But why did the Alpha suddenly become so clingy, refusing to let her go, not even for a second? "My love, don't leave me. I'll do anything for you, so please stay here." What is the true reason behind the Alpha's sudden attachment to her?
