"Alexander, please no... I-I beg you. Please don't do this," I whispered, fear lacing every word as tears streamed down my cheeks."Shhh, tesoro... First, stop calling me by my name. Call me Alex, like you used to. And why are you crying? I haven't even started yet," he smirked, disgustingly calm as his hand reached for my face. I flinched. His eyes darkened. In a flash, his fingers tangled into my hair, yanking my head back with brutal force. "Don't fucking resist me, Sophie. Or it won't end well. Your tears are like gems to me-so cry more, just for me," he growled. I couldn't believe I never saw the monster hidden behind my best friend's smile."Now tell me-what foot did you move first when you tried to escape your cage?" His hand gripped a hammer, twirling it like it was a toy. "A-Alexander, please don't," I sobbed, thrashing against the chains locked around my wrists and ankles."I don't have time, mi tesoro. Punishment must be served. Now-WHICH FOOT?" he roared. ________ Meet Sophia Grace-a kind, soft-hearted girl living in a small apartment in Seattle.

"Run away again and I'll etch my name into your hand with my blade." My blood ran cold. He fixed his composure in a matter of seconds. It was sickening how quickly he could change. "I'm sorry sweetheart, did I scare you." His question was out of sincere concern and it messed with my head. Did I like it? Did I hate it? "I'm..sorry..." My voice trembled and my legs were close to giving out, but he nuzzled against me in content and walked away. He could have punished me until I wished I was dead, just not this time. ------------------------------- Lilac Hernandez was the daughter to the leader of the Spanish mafia. She was unloved and only a tool for her father's cruel business deal. Her soft nature and stunning beauty was her charm. Alex Romano was the leader of the Italian mafia. He was cruel and dangerous, know for his lack of hesitation. He was known as the devil. There was no one who dares stand in his way, and those who tried, died trying. She caught his eye, and he took her home. Under his cruel watch, she learned to love him.

She was an orphan in her first life- forgotten, unloved, and unclaimed. When death came, she expected nothing. Instead, she awoke in a world ruled by beasts, bloodlines, and a god who assigns destiny like a verdict. In a land where power meant eeverything, she is reborn as the one thing that does not belong: a human. Without a beast form and without protection, she survives through silence and resilience. For years, she hides at the edges of society-learning the rules of a world that was never meant to include her, all while fearing the one law that cannot be escaped. At eighteen, every female is marked by the Beast God and bound to her destined beastmate. Humans are never chosen. Or so she believed. On the night of her coming of age, fate breaks its own laws. The mark on her neck burns not once-but five times. Five ancient bloodlines answer her call: dragon, nine-tailed fox, phoenix, obsidian serpent, and white tiger. Five sovereign beasts. One fragile human. As gods stir, nations tremble, and seals begin to weaken, she must confront a truth far more terrifying than being unwanted- She was not overlooked by fate. She was chosen for a reason.

She was meant to die quietly. Poisoned, discarded, and forgotten by the empire that once adored her, the spoiled princess should have faded into history. Instead, she woke up different-sharper, colder, and unwilling to beg for affection ever again. Surrounded by four S-rank beastmates she once humiliated, and watched by a court that senses something has changed, Lily steps back into power with a new understanding: this world does not reward innocence. In a realm of beasts, politics are deadlier than claws, loyalty must be earned twice, and love is never free. And this time, she does not intend to be the one destroyed.
