When Elowen learned that she had been switched at birth, that her life as a princess was nothing more than a mistake, she quietly accepted her fate. She accepted being treated as an error. Accepted being hurt so deeply that even crying had to be done in secret. She believed she would fade away like this — silently, unnoticed, forgotten. Until one day — when despair pushed her to the edge — she felt a faint chill, as if someone were standing behind her, protecting her without a word. From that moment on, Elowen knew she was no longer alone. — Adrian survived a horrific car accident. His body lay motionless in a hospital bed, while his soul became bound to a wounded girl he had never known. He couldn’t hold her. Couldn’t shield her from harm. Yet when she was starved, warm food appeared in her drawer. When she was bullied, her tormentors met with inexplicable accidents. When she curled up crying in the dead of night, an invisible hand gently rested on her forehead—so tender it hurt. Adrian was there. Quieter than any living person. He witnessed every wound, remembered every tear, every trembling breath she tried to suppress. Affection grew in silence—slowly, carefully—as if one careless step closer would cause the girl to shatter. One was alive, yet denied a life. One was dead, yet still learning how to protect someone. Some forms of protection need no light. Some kinds of love cannot be touched. — Then one day, Elowen spoke seriously to her “Ms. Ghost”: Elowen: “Ms. Ghost, if you’re lonely…” “Maybe you could bond with a male ghost.” “I’d give you my blessing.” Adrian: … A long silence followed. A very, very long silence. Then the “Ms. Ghost” coldly placed a hand on her forehead. Adrian: “Be good.” “Call me Mr. Ghost.” Adrian: “I don’t need your blessing.” Because— Adrian: “I will be the one who brings you happiness.”

If she was that worked up from the man without even seeing his face. Then when they finally did see each other, sparks would fly. There was nothing for it. They had to get a room and get naked with a quickness. Eyes half-lidded Haley slowed her movements, and the man matched her. When he felt her begin to turn, his grip around her waist loosened. She could tell by the slight tremble of his fingers against her waist, that the man was also eager to know the identity of the person he had spent the better part of the night dancing with. Plastering a seductive smile on her face, Haley finally turned fully to face the man, tilting her head up so that she could see him clearly. And that was when the little fantasy that Haley had been entertaining of getting laid that night went up in flames. It took a second for her mind to process exactly who she was seeing, and she saw the moment it sank in for him as well. In an instant his arms went from being around her waist to up in the air as the man jumped back like a scalded cat. "Roth?!"

She spoke one word— and a King obeyed. Nora was supposed to be a nobody. A clean life. A quiet desk. Then reality cracked open in her office wall… and something molten stepped through. A Cosmic King. Protocol says: contain the asset. The camera says: keep filming. The men with rifles say: leash her. But the Kings don’t want a handler. They want her. Because each King is running on a collapse meter. No contact, and they go feral—burning cities, breaking minds, erasing themselves. Touch, breath, soul-deep closeness… and the madness eases. Kaelen calls her mine. Drakon calls it submission—and hates how much he needs her command. Lucien calls it confession, sweet as sin. Rix calls it bond, teeth and scent and home. Dr. Silas calls her data—the only variable he can’t solve. Zane calls her existence, fingers laced tight so he won’t fade. Ace calls it a promise he’s died for. Nora calls it what it is: a war for ownership—wrapped in paperwork and teeth. She draws the line. Names her shelter an Ark. Writes the only rule she can live with: If you want access to me, you follow my rules. Because she isn’t the leash. She’s the only cure for the seven Cosmic Kings— and every cure has a cost she can feel under her skin.

Elara Moore learned early that survival meant staying invisible. At Hale Industries, she keeps her head down and her ambitions quiet — a junior assistant with no connections, no safety net, and far too much to lose. She isn’t trying to rise. She’s just trying to endure. Alexander Hale doesn’t believe in emotions. He built his empire on control, precision, and distance. People are variables. Feelings are liabilities. Until Elara becomes visible — in the worst possible way. What begins as a professional correction turns into quiet scrutiny. Whispers replace silence. Credit shifts. Assumptions harden. And when ambition, jealousy, and power collide, one carefully shaped misunderstanding is all it takes to rewrite the truth. Because betrayal doesn’t always come from infidelity. Sometimes, it comes from believing the wrong story. From choosing optics over facts. From deciding who someone is before ever listening. And some mistakes don’t just damage relationships — they erase them.

Two years later, a family emergency forces her back home, where she takes a job as a designer at a prestigious studio.
