Dr. Kiyomi, a neurosurgeon rogue lycan, lives in & never leaves the human hospital— the safest place for her. That’s until a high-profile mafia surgery goes wrong and she’s blamed for it despite being on leave. 

Suddenly the limelight is on her, forcing her rare last name back into the memories of people who have long wanted her dead — the Bogdan Lycans. As if that isn't enough, the Ivanov Russian mob is after her with vengeance in their hearts. 

Scared, Kiyomi leaves the hospital pretending to be a night-shift male nurse — which works, only for her to be kidnapped at the hospital’s entrance, by the cruel lycan queen’s guards who drag her to the queen Sakura’s human home.
— — — 
Sakura Watanabe; the soulless crazy queen known to screw up everyone for fun. She ruins everything she touches and sucks the life out of everyone around her. She is bad, cruel, and a menace who does whatever she wants, however, and whenever she wants it.

When she hears of Dr. Kiyomi’s misfortunes, she is curious to see what will make that lycan break, and orders that Kiyomi be brought to her, so she can sign the infamous Sakura contract that always leaves the signee dead, dead and dead. 

What Sakura doesn't factor in is the fact that the woman who walks through her door is her soulmate. And even worse is the desire she gets to protect Kiyomi. Not one to relent in the hands of fate, Sakura forces Kiyomi to sign the oppressive contract.

What happens when Sakura's heart starts beating for Kiyomi, and she goes after everyone who hurt her soulmate? Will she cancel the contract and embrace love, or will she stay the stoic soulless queen with nothing to live for?

And even better, how long can Sakura fight fate?

She had made a spectacle of everything with the intention of reminding them that no one was allowed to use anything against her, Sakura, anymore.


When Kiyomi had made the decision to go after Izanami and make the kills that could fix Sakura, she hadn't been sure if she had the heart for it.


She had been scared of what the truth would be, and worried about being bested, about what life would be for her if she managed to fail. She had been so stressed about losing Sakura that she had struggled to believe in herself.


But then she had walked into the room where she had laid Sakura, the same place that she had hoped would be theirs once upon a time. It hadn't been easy for her at the time, and she had been scared of Sakura hating her forever.


That was a possibility, because Kiyomi had snatched her away and taken the chance that Sakura had to save Otaru. It was one thing that she knew Sakura would never forgive her if she lost.
