「 "𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐚 𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫'𝐬 𝐞𝐲𝐞"」 ── My feet slammed into the grass, lungs on fire. Blood slicked my hands. I didn't look back. I knew he was there. ❝ Run, baby, run. Run for your fucking life,❞ he growled. ❝ When I catch you, I'll fuck you.❞ ── 𝓐𝓮𝓻𝓲 𝓥𝓪𝓵𝓮: I bake bread. I keep my head down. I don't speak. Silence is safer than begging. I learned that with blood in my mouth and my stepbrother's words crawling under my skin. He trades me like a cigarette-lit, used, passed on. People forget me. They walk past and look through. But not him. Aaron Deveraux. Leader of The Reapers. He saw me. It started with roses-anonymous. Then came the late-night shadows outside the bakery. Now, I feel him before I even hear his voice. I try to run. But he likes it when I run. ── 𝓐𝓪𝓻𝓸𝓷 𝓓𝓮𝓿𝓮𝓻𝓪𝓾𝔁: He smells like flour and fear. And I want both. I call him Little Ghost because he floats through this rotten city like he's not part of it. Mute. Soft. Fragile like glass. I'm gonna crack him open. First time I saw him, I wanted to fuck the sound out of him. Second time, I wanted to ruin his mouth. Now? I just want to keep him shaking. I'm not in love. I'm obsessed. He bakes bread and I break fucking bones. We were never meant to touch. So I'll drag him into my world until he breaks in mine. ──

Three years ago, S-Class Alpha Shen Mingxuan found a terrified Omega tied to a bed during his brother's wedding. Acting on instinct, he saved the boy-only for the Omega to suddenly mark him amidst a haze of induced heat and thick pheromones. When Mingxuan woke, the Omega was gone. All he remembered was the scent-sweet, intoxicating, unforgettable. That night wasn't meant to happen-but it sealed both their fates. At present, Mingxuan suffers from uncontrollable ruts and mate-seeking syndrome causing him to be locked up in their basement for his own safety, his body rejecting every Omega except the one who marked him. Desperate and haunted by the memory of that scent, he searches endlessly for the ghost who branded his soul. But in the underworld shadows of Jianghu, where secrets are buried deeper than blood, the Omega who vanished still breathes-closer to him than he could ever imagine.

In the criminal underworld, omegas aren't meant to survive. Wu Suo Wei has made a career out of defying that rule-reckless, sharp-tongued, and fueled by suppressants strong enough to burn through his veins. He doesn't need a partner, doesn't need an alpha, and certainly doesn't need Chi Cheng. But when the boss forces them to work together, Wu Suo Wei finds himself caged in close quarters with the one man he can't seem to shake. Chi Cheng is everything he despises-controlled, disciplined, unreadable-and his pheromones hit like fire in the lungs, dragging Wu Suo Wei to the edge of weakness he swore he'd never show. As missions grow deadlier and ghosts from Wu Suo Wei's past reappear, tension sharpens into something neither of them can ignore.

Nikolas Bellucci Aleksandr Mikhailov is dangerous. I didn't just see it-I felt it. Every nerve in my body screamed to run the moment his sharp green eyes locked onto mine. His stare wasn't casual; it was predatory, deliberate. Like he wanted to consume every part of me and leave nothing behind. What had I done to deserve his attention? I'm a nobody. I prefer shadows over spotlights. I don't want to be anyone's Donna, their treasure, or their little prince or princess. But Aleksandr? He doesn't care what I want. Even when his hands skim over my skin, making it impossible to fight back, impossible to breathe. Even when my traitorous heart races whenever he calls me his printsessa. I'm a man. The last mafia prince of the Bellucci family. Arranged marriages, political games-it's all supposed to be beneath me. At least, that's what I keep telling myself. But Aleksandr Mikhailov doesn't ask. He takes. And some part of me, despite everything, might just want to be taken. Aleksandr Mikhailov Nikolas Bellucci is a work of art-beautiful, dangerous, and far too proud for his own good. I knew I wanted him the moment I saw him. My uncle Ivan always said, What a Mikhailov wants, he takes. Rules? Irrelevant. Boundaries? Meant to be shattered. Nikolas fights me, yes-but he'll break eventually. They always do. And when he does, I'll be there to catch him, to hold him, to ruin him until he's mine entirely. My printsessa.

He's hiding something. And Joong is about to find out secrets don't stay parked forever. Enemies by fate. Husbands by force. And when feelings collide at full speed- someone's bound to crash.
