For centuries, I have watched humans from the skies, nothing more than a shadow in their nightmares. To them, I was a beast—a monster to be slain, a creature incapable of love. And for the longest time, I believed they were right. Then, I met him. Fred. A human who was fearless enough to defy me, stubborn enough to challenge me, and foolish enough to see something in me that no one else ever had. At first, I despised his presence. He was a reminder of everything I could never have, of the world that would never accept me. But the more I watched him, the more I found myself drawn to him. His fire rivaled my own, his determination matched my strength, and before I knew it, I was craving something I had never dared to desire. Him. But love between a dragon and a human is forbidden. When war threatens to tear his kingdom apart, Fred is forced to stand against me. And I… I am left with a choice that should be easy for a dragon like me. Do I burn his world to the ground? Or do I give up everything I am, just to stand beside him?

The night my parents were kidnapped, my brother—who happened to be a police officer—chose to go bungee jumping with the fake heiress. I didn't stop him. Instead, I called the police and began preparing the ransom. In my previous life, my brother had forgone the outing to rescue our parents. As a result, the rope snapped during her jump, sending her plummeting into the abyss. Her body was never recovered. He never spoke a word about it afterward. On my birthday, he drugged me and dragged me to that very cliff. "You orchestrated the kidnapping! You'd go this far for their attention? You're nothing but a monster! Lillian is dead. You don't deserve to live either!" When I opened my eyes again, I found myself back on the night my parents were kidnapped. This time, my brother didn't rush to their rescue. Instead, he ran to the fake heiress. But in the end, he regretted it so much that he nearly lost his mind.

Everything was whispering to me one thing. Surrender. And so I did. You must be wondering who I am. Tonight, I am trying to not remember who I am. Tonight, I am just a naive virgin who entered the Alpha’s ball disguised as a noble princess, when I am just a pitiful Cinderella, wishing to have a taste of disobedience and sin. Tonight, I am a sinner. Why did nobody tell me that being a sinner is so pleasurable? A moan escaped my throat as he sucked on my breasts. The breast that did not even fill his big and manly hands. His dominant voice reminded her, “I will ruin this perfect body of yours.” I should be afraid but I am excited. That's what I want. Someone to ruin my heart and soul. Corrupt me. “Ahhh!” —------------------------------------ “I, Scarlett Rossi, might have just started a war by sleeping with my Pack’s biggest enemy.” Scarlet Rossi, forgotten daughter of Beta Vincent is betrothed to Alpha’s brother.
