Dr. Kiyomi, a neurosurgeon rogue lycan, lives in & never leaves the human hospital— the safest place for her. That’s until a high-profile mafia surgery goes wrong and she’s blamed for it despite being on leave. 

Suddenly the limelight is on her, forcing her rare last name back into the memories of people who have long wanted her dead — the Bogdan Lycans. As if that isn't enough, the Ivanov Russian mob is after her with vengeance in their hearts. 

Scared, Kiyomi leaves the hospital pretending to be a night-shift male nurse — which works, only for her to be kidnapped at the hospital’s entrance, by the cruel lycan queen’s guards who drag her to the queen Sakura’s human home.
— — — 
Sakura Watanabe; the soulless crazy queen known to screw up everyone for fun. She ruins everything she touches and sucks the life out of everyone around her. She is bad, cruel, and a menace who does whatever she wants, however, and whenever she wants it.

When she hears of Dr. Kiyomi’s misfortunes, she is curious to see what will make that lycan break, and orders that Kiyomi be brought to her, so she can sign the infamous Sakura contract that always leaves the signee dead, dead and dead. 

What Sakura doesn't factor in is the fact that the woman who walks through her door is her soulmate. And even worse is the desire she gets to protect Kiyomi. Not one to relent in the hands of fate, Sakura forces Kiyomi to sign the oppressive contract.

What happens when Sakura's heart starts beating for Kiyomi, and she goes after everyone who hurt her soulmate? Will she cancel the contract and embrace love, or will she stay the stoic soulless queen with nothing to live for?

And even better, how long can Sakura fight fate?

"...That I left a custodian, a military general who would probably overthrow me and take my power, all because I had fallen irrevocably in love with you, that I was willing to lay my life down for you?


"What the hell was I supposed to do then? Was I to stop loving you? I never wanted your power, Sakura. I only ever wanted you. Just you," Liu cried frustratedly.


She despised that Izanami had forced her into this position, and she hated that the truth didn't sound as freeing as she had imagined it would. Instead, it made her wonder what the fuck she was supposed to do even more. 


The truth had her losing everything, and she loathed it because now she was tearing through a woman who only ever understood the basics of humanity, and after this, she wouldn't trust people.


And it was her fault, but what else was she supposed to do when she sacrificed everything? She wasn't asking Sakura to sacrifice anything, was she?
