❝C-can you hold my hand? Just for a little bit?❞

Im Chayoung is going forward with life. She's relatively pleased with her job, and happy with the constant support from her loving mother, flamboyant best friend and the neighbours nearby who treat her like one of their own children. Im Chayoung is happy. However, when an old friend, whom Chayoung has desperately avoided, returns to Ilsan, Chayoung is on the verge of panic as she tries to figure out what on earth she is going to do.

It took the Beasts mere weeks to overthrow the human government and eliminate most of the population. Those who survived were put into slavery, forced to spend their lives serving the royal families and wealthier Beasts. Adeline has been a servant for the royals for as long as she can remember. It's hard work, but she feels lucky to be born and raised in King Richard's kingdom. He's a kind ruler, and his humans are often treated well. King Heloix, on the other hand, is known for his ruthlessness. He has little tolerance for his fellow Beasts, and even less for humans. Rumors are that his servants are often killed as punishment for even the smallest mishaps, and to survive even a year while working for him is an accomplishment. When Adeline is transferred to King Heloix's castle, it takes him only seconds to recognize who she is to him. Will he accept her as his mate or reject her existence? ⚠️THIS BOOK CONTAINS MATURE AND TRIGGERING THEMES⚠️
