This is Liam's story, an omega people never stayed for. Not because he wasn't worth it, but because life kept taking things away from him, again and again, until he stopped expecting anyone to stay at all. He is kind in a quiet, almost stubborn way. The kind of kindness that doesn't ask to be returned. He endures things most people would break under, carries pain like it belongs to him, and still somehow manages to stand. Sensitive enough to feel everything. Strong enough to let it go. Because Liam learned early; nothing stays. Not people, not warmth, not safety. Everything eventually slips through his fingers, so he stopped trying to hold on. Until Tae Ashford doesn't leave. A high-ranked alpha. Powerful. Untouchable. A man who has everything and needs nothing. Except : he can't walk away from Liam. What begins as something insignificant, almost accidental, slowly twists into something else. Something heavier and sharper. An obsession Because Tae doesn't just come back, he keeps coming back. Again. And again. And again. Until Liam, who was used to being left behind, suddenly has someone who refuses to leave him at all.

Aurelia and Elara - the youngest twins and the only daughters of the De Santis family - were once the heart of their household. Inseparable, gentle, adored. Where one went, the other followed. Their parents cherished them. Their brothers protected them. But everything shattered the night eight-year-old Elara was found bleeding on the floor... and Aurelia stood over her, a knife in her hand. Blamed for a crime she didn't commit, Aurelia was sent away to a strict boarding school for "troubled children." Her parents believed discipline would straighten her out. What they never imagined was the truth - the cruelty hidden behind the school's walls, the sadistic methods used to "teach," and the horrors Aurelia was forced to endure. Now sixteen, after a devastating incident inside that school, Aurelia is brought back to the De Santis mansion. But it's not a homecoming. It's an obligation. A reminder that she is unwanted, distrusted, and viewed as a threat by the very family she once loved. Follow Aurelia as she relearns how to exist in a home that no longer feels like hers. Uncover the truth of what happened that night, what really happened to her within the school, and whether the De Santis family will ever face the truth of what Aurelia had to endure and do to survive. ─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ─── "What should I ache for?
