“No… I won't.”
“Oh, petal, I wasn't asking. You WILL marry me.”

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?

The fact that they were here talking while a broken Izanami was screaming lowly into their ears because of a damn punishment that was so well deserved. It made no sense, and nothing they did would ever make it any better for them.


"I didn't… I just… I don't know why I came. Honestly. I just didn't expect that she would even punish anyone for me. That she would… that she would kill her mother for me," Liu trailed off before turning to look at Ichika.


Maybe she was hoping for some consolation, given that she had lost their baby, but then Liu knew deep down that she would have reacted worse than Sakura's friends after everything had happened.


Hell, she had promised herself she would stay away, yet the pull that she shared with Sakura kept bringing her back to this place.


Even after she had lost their baby, she made sure to be present in their lives, even if Sakura didn't know.
