“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?

Everything had stopped when the queen made her declaration, but not Sakura's determination to see her Erasthai. 


She had been waiting at the door the entire day, and not even Otaru's incessant whines were enough to give her the confidence that her Erasthai was okay. 


Kiyomi had asked for ten days, and yet it was almost the twelfth without any information on her. And the fact that the warning bells were buzzing in Sakura's head didn't help the Lycan queen to think. 


So, she readied herself for the trip to the lower levels, a boundary she had promised herself she would never cross. She knew what it meant to want to be alone, but Kiyomi was taking too long to come out.


"I hope you someday forgive me for this," Sakura said as she clicked the elevator button. 


It was her only way of getting the answer she needed, despite her friends telling her she was worrying for no reason. Maybe she was for no reason, but she had to confirm it for her sanity.
