Princess Cassia is sent to the werewolf empire of Varyon as part of a peace treaty, where she is to marry Lord Darius. Although she is hopeful, she faces resentment from many werewolves. Cassia meets Darius and feels a connection, but her world is shaken when she learns that Darius will take Lady Selene as his primary wife, relegating Cassia to a lesser status. Heartbroken, Cassia confronts Darius, who prioritizes political alliances over love. 

 

As tensions rise, Cassia encounters Kael, the feared Alpha Prince, who initially mocks her but later shows unexpected protectiveness. Cassia begins to experience strange dreams and a growing bond with Kael, leading her to question her feelings for Darius. After being poisoned at a banquet—an act orchestrated by Selene—Cassia finds herself increasingly drawn to Kael, who acknowledges their mate bond but refuses to claim her. 

 

Cassia is framed for treason and exiled, but Kael secretly helps her escape. As they grow closer, Cassia discovers her hidden lineage as a Lumerian, a hybrid race with powerful abilities. The political landscape shifts dramatically when Darius and Selene seize power, leading to war. Cassia chooses to fight alongside Kael, fully awakening her powers and realizing her potential. 

 

As the conflict escalates, Cassia learns she is pregnant, and her child is tied to a prophecy that could change the supernatural world. The Forsaken One, an ancient enemy, threatens their existence, leading to a climactic battle. In a desperate act to protect her child, Cassia sacrifices herself, erasing her from history but leaving Kael and their child behind. 

 

Haunted by her absence, Kael becomes obsessed with finding a way to bring Cassia back. He learns of the Void, a realm where souls are trapped and performs a forbidden ritual to reach her. Meanwhile, their child’s powers grow uncontrollable, drawing fear and hostility from both humans and werewolves. 

 

In a final confrontation, Kael chooses to save Cassia over his child, and with their combined strength, they defeat the Forsaken One. After the battle, the family disappears from history, leaving behind a legacy that will be remembered as the legend of Cassia, the Last Lumerian, and Kael, the Alpha King who defied fate. Their child's future remains uncertain, holding the potential to shape the supernatural world.

I didn't remember walking back to my chambers. 


One moment, I was on the balcony with Kael's. The next, I was behind the thick wooden doors of my room, my hands trembling as I bolted them shut. 


I stood there, breathing hard, my heart pounding so loud I could hear it in my ears. The world spun, or maybe it was just me, reeling from everything that had happened. 


It was one problem after another from one person after another.


I was nothing here. I was a nobody. I was so exposed to danger, it was frightening to think about. Besides, I was devastatingly on my own. 


My stomach twisted violently, and before I could stop myself, I ripped the heavy golden necklace from my throat, throwing it across the room. It hit the vanity mirror with a sharp crack, the impact splitting the glass into jagged lines that distorted my reflection.
