The Omega's Curse: Bound To The Ruthless King

In the magical kingdom of Veridian, where one's worth is determined by their secondary gender, twenty-three-year-old Elian Kaine has spent his life disguising his omega status. Possessing rare silver eyes and forbidden magical abilities passed down through an ancient omega bloodline, he lives quietly as a village healer, hiding his true nature behind scent-blocking herbs and careful isolation. King Darius Blackthorn, the feared alpha ruler who united the fractured territories through brutal conquest, carries his own burden—an ancestral curse that causes him excruciating pain with each full moon and slowly drains his life force. The curse, placed on his bloodline by a vengeful omega sorcerer centuries ago, can only be broken by the magic of a pure-blooded omega descendant of the original caster. When Elian's village is raided under suspicion of harboring rebels, he is brought to the capital among others. During a public tribunal, an unexpected phenomenon occurs—Elian and Darius experience the rare and mythical soul-bond activation, a connection thought extinct for generations. The king immediately recognizes Elian's hidden nature and the silver eyes that mark him as a descendant of the very bloodline that cursed his family. Against his will, Elian is claimed by the king and forced to live in the royal palace. Darius offers a ruthless bargain: help break his curse using omega magic, and Elian's captured friends will be freed. Refuse, and they'll face execution. Though Elian agrees, he privately vows to escape before the bond between them strengthens beyond breaking. As Elian navigates treacherous court politics and struggles to control his emerging magical abilities, he discovers the curse is more complex than anyone realized. Meanwhile, Darius, who has never allowed himself to trust or feel, finds his carefully constructed walls crumbling around the defiant omega who challenges him at every turn. When rival kingdoms threaten war and a shadowy cult seeks to capture Elian for their own dark purposes, the two must decide what matters more—the freedom they've always protected or the bond neither of them wanted but might be their only salvation. As Elian's heat cycle approaches and the full moon draws near, time runs out for both the cursed king and the omega who holds the power to either save him or destroy him completely.
