“No… I won't.”

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?

She wasn't scared of what the woman would dare to do to her or say to her, because if this was what Liu thought it was, then there would not be a need for her to maintain her cover after all these years anyway.


But that didn't make it any easier for her to look at the woman who was lounging in her room like the world was her chessboard and she was simply aligning them as she wished.


Izanami made Liu furious to the core; there was no denying it.


"Oh, come on, Liu Kuangxin, or should I call you my daughter's Erasthai?" Izanami mocked, her posture not changing even as she stared at Liu as if the woman didn't deserve to be in the same place as her.


Izanami had lost her damn mind because this wasn't what anyone in their right mind would ever consider. It made no sense regardless of the angles that had been tabled, and now, she was acting like she hadn't just fucked over Liu Kuangxin's life.
