Just a servant, forgotten in the shadows. But on the night of the Mating Ball, one clumsy mistake changes everything. A spilled glass of wine. A Lycan King’s fury. And then—the bond.

So when the Moon Goddess binds him to an Omega—a powerless, insignificant Omega—he’s furious. It’s a mistake. A betrayal. And he’ll do whatever it takes to break it.

And the more he fights it, the more he notices her—her quiet strength, her sharp wit, the way her dark eyes seem to see straight through him. She’s not what he expected. She’s… more. For Elara, the bond is both a curse and a revelation. Thrust into Kael’s world, she begins to uncover secrets about herself—and the dormant power tied to the Moon Goddess that lies within her. But power comes with a price. Kael’s enemies want her. His pack fears her. And Kael himself? He doesn’t know what to do with her. As tensions rise and rival Alphas close in, Elara and Kael are forced to confront their own demons—and each other. Can they trust the bond? Can they trust themselves? In a world where strength is everything, they’ll have to decide: fight for each other, or let the world tear them apart.

MATURE CONTENT WARNING!!: These people be getting freaky in the sheets! "You think I haven’t noticed your eyes on me?" Kai En's voice was dangerously low, his lips curled into a cruel smile. "The way they linger— you can’t decide whether to kill me or kiss me. Am I right, little alpha?" ... For as long as Jun could remember, vengeance had been his only purpose. The last survivor of a disgraced family, he vowed to tear down the empire that destroyed his life, starting with its most prized jewel—Prince Feng Kai En.  Now, under the guise of Xiao Liu, a lowly servant in the prince’s retinue, he plans his revenge. But nothing could have prepared him for what awaited within the palace walls. Neither Xiao Liu’s sharp blades nor detailed plans were good enough to fall the man behind the title. Every failed assassination attempt and heated exchange left him more entangled with the man he was meant to destroy. Kai En—ruthless, untouchable, and powerful. An alpha in the eyes of all. Xiao Liu uncovered the prince’s greatest secret—beneath the façade lay something far more dangerous and vulnerable. Something Xiao Liu intended to exploit. Duty had always been Kai En’s burden. Yet Xiao Liu’s presence stirred emotions long buried—desires with no place in his world. Every attempt on his life only deepened the prince’s fascination, pulling him into the chaos Xiao Liu brought. As war looms and enemies close in, their dangerous dance intensifies. Desire grows where hate once ruled, pulling them into a storm of violence, lust, and something deeper. “You’ll never belong to anyone else,” Xiao Liu snarled, his lips finding Kai En’s neck again, biting down hard. “Not her. Not anyone. You belong to me.” Xiao Liu knows Kai En is the key to his revenge, but the more their lives tangle, the harder it becomes to tell if it’s vengeance he craves… or the prince himself. And Kai En must face the ultimate test that could break his kingdom and heart. Can Xiao Liu destroy the man he’s come to obsess over, or will he fall first?
