For years, whispers have haunted the throne of Alpha King Azrael Valeric—a powerful ruler with mismatched eyes, a dark past, and a deadly curse that drains the life from every woman he marries. When the powerful Valeric family requests a bride from the SinBound Pack, Dorian Stormrider refuses to risk his beloved daughter. Instead, he sends the girl no one would miss. Elowen.

Forced to take her stepsister’s place under a stolen name, she is sent to a distant Gothic castle in Romania to marry a king rumored to kill his wives within a week.

And desperately determined to keep his distance from the woman who is now his queen. Days pass. Then weeks. Elowen is still alive. As secrets begin to surface—about Azrael’s curse, Elowen’s mysterious heritage, and a prophecy older than the throne itself—both husband and wife must face a terrifying truth: Some curses can only be broken by sacrifice.

A story addressing mature and sensitive themes Ylihiam is an orphaned girl who has spent her life protecting her younger sister, Anne. She has always cared for her, shielding the child within a fragile sanctuary of love, tenderness, and protection, as though the world itself were a storm that must never be allowed to reach her. Yet while Anne grew within that sanctuary, Ylihiam endured a different fate. Within the walls of the Imperial Historical Religious Academy, her days became a quiet descent into torment. Humiliation, cruelty, and violence followed her like shadows along cold stone corridors. She suffered beatings and brutal assaults, each one meant to break her spirit. Yet she endured them all without surrendering to ruin. Even possessing power and rare ability, Ylihiam remained steadfast in her faith. She believed in the gods, in the Great Father and the Great Celestial Mother, trusting that the heavens held justice beyond mortal suffering. But faith is a fragile thing when prophecy begins to speak. When ancient omens are proclaimed and destinies begin to bend beneath unseen hands, the girl, already shattered in spirit, begins to wonder if her kindness has been nothing more than the instrument of her own destruction. If mercy itself has been the chain binding her to suffering. Still, Ylihiam fights. She fights to keep Anne alive for one more year. One more fragile turning of the seasons. Desperately she seeks to defy the decrees of heaven itself, struggling to twist fate before the stars close around her sister’s life. But everything changes when a truth she refuses to accept is forced down her throat like poison. And when that truth finally takes root, something inside her breaks. Ylihiam ceases to live for the gods. She ceases to live for mercy. From that moment forward, she lives only for herself… and for the fragile heartbeat of the sister she swore to protect, whether innocent blood must be spilled or not. But one question remains. Can a mortal girl truly stand against celestial beings without tearing the fabric of the cosmos apart? And how far will Ylihiam allow her love to descend into darkness so that Anne may celebrate just one more year of life?

Just hours ago, he had been a 30-year-old professor—one of the youngest lecturers in a prestigious college. An orphan who built everything from nothing. At twenty-five, he had already achieved what many couldn’t in a lifetime. A stable career. Respect. Wealth. A wedding with a beautiful bride from a good family. For once, life had finally begun to smile at him. And then, a drunk rich brat speeding his Thar at 220 km/h from the wrong side of the road. A flash of headlights. A scream of metal. Darkness. Arahan died on the roadside like a stray animal. And the worst part? He knew the culprit would never be punished. Money would bury the case. Power would twist the law. Justice was a luxury for the poor. But what hurt even more was not the injustice. It was a regret. He had lived responsibly. Too responsible. He never dated. Never partied. Never had Sex. Never travelled. Never loved recklessly. Never indulged. He chased stability. He chased respect. He chased a “good future.” And died before he could live. A virgin. A man who never tasted freedom. A man who never claimed what he desired. A man who never enjoyed the forbidden pleasure. But fate was not finished with him. When Arahan opened his eyes again— He was back. This time, he won’t live cautiously. This time, he won’t let power crush him. This time, he won’t die powerless. Wealth. Influence. Pleasure. Revenge. In this life, Arahan will claim everything.

But after nursing the fox back to health, Kyva expects it to return to the wild where it belongs. But it doesn't. Instead, it continues to follow her. “Little fox,” she tells it one evening, exhaustion heavy in her voice as she prepares to move again. “I don't have food. I don't even have a place to sleep. I'm being hunted by slave traders. We should go our separate ways.” —-- Minutes later, Kyva wakes up after collapsing from exhaustion. To her surprise, she finds fresh fruits, good clothes and clean water laid carefully beside her. The white fox sits nearby, watching her with unsettling intelligence. 'Obviously, you need me more than I need you,' the fox thinks coldly, tail swishing in mild disdain. 'If not for the inconvenience of you being my mate, I would have left you to starve in the wild.' While Kyva believes she rescued a helpless creature, she may have unknowingly bound herself to something far more dangerous. As she journeys deeper into an unfamiliar land inhabited by beast men and women, Kyva begins to carve out a fragile new life for herself. The more she learns about this strange world, the more her mysterious fox companion refuses to leave her side, and seems determined to drive away anyone who gets too close.
