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.

The Alpha leaned against the balcony railing, watching.


Not speaking. Not moving. Just watching.


The way Elias forced himself to act normal. The way he pretended not to notice the heavy weight of the Alpha's gaze on him.


The stiffness in his shoulders. The way his fingers twitched just slightly, betraying his tension.


The way his breath hitched—so subtly, so quickly—but the Alpha heard it.


Still convincing himself that he had control.


Because no matter how much Elias struggled—


His body was already telling the truth.


The Alpha smirked to himself, exhaling slowly as he let his gaze trail over Elias's form.


The signs were there. The cracks were spreading.


And it was only a matter of time before Elias broke entirely.


He would let Elias run. Let him keep pretending.


Because the moment he finally stopped fighting—


That was when the real fun would begin.


Elias clenched his jaw, hands tightening into fists at his sides.


The Alpha's presence. That unwavering gaze burning into his skin.


He had spent his whole life mastering control.


And yet, under the weight of that gaze—


A slow heat crawled up his spine, curling deep in his stomach, unwanted and unwelcome.


It was the Alpha testing him, toying with him, waiting for him to slip.


Elias forced himself to breathe, forced his body to stay still, forced his mind to drown out the heavy presence looming behind him.


His pulse spiked, heat flashing through his chest before he could stop it.


Would not turn. Would not let the Alpha see.
