For a thousand years, Jungkook has ruled the underworld catacombs as a true-blood Alpha. Immortal. Unchallenged. Feared by gods and wolves alike. His reign was not forged by destiny, but by betrayal.
Once, he had a mate.
Taehyung was the King's consort, bound by soul and blood, crowned beside him in a world on the brink of ruin. When war threatened to consume every kingdom, Taehyung chose sacrifice over survival, offering his life to seal the rift and save the world.
The world was spared.
Jungkook was not.
Immortality became his punishment. The mate bond did not break cleanly, leaving Jungkook alive, furious, and hollow. While history praised Taehyung as a hero, Jungkook learned to despise the very idea of sacrifice. Love, to him, became a lie people told themselves to justify abandonment. He buried the world beneath stone and ruled from the dark, demanding loyalty without mercy and obedience without choice.
A thousand years later, the past returns wearing human skin.
Taehyung is reborn with the same face, the same soul, but no memory of the King he once left behind. Human, fragile, and unaware of the ancient bond clawing toward recognition, he is dragged into Jungkook's underground kingdom and placed at the Alpha's feet.
Jungkook does not see salvation.
He sees a second chance for judgment.
Determined to prove that his mate's love was always flawed, Jungkook keeps Taehyung close, subjecting him to a world of brutal laws and ruthless devotion. He watches, tests, and tempts him, waiting to see if the soul who once chose the world will do so again.
But Taehyung is no longer a king nor a martyr.
And as danger rises from forces that never forgave the ancient sacrifice, Jungkook is faced with a truth more terrifying than betrayal: if Taehyung chooses him this time, Jungkook must decide whether love is still something worth accepting... or something he is too cruel to deserve.
