Synopsis
"She doesn’t believe in fate. He’s bound to her by destiny. In a world where monsters are real, love might be the most dangerous game of all." Asis Sinha, a fiercely independent architect, returns to her estranged family’s mansion after years away, only to find herself entangled in a world she never believed existed—one ruled by Lycans, vampires, and ancient rivalries. When she crosses paths with Harald Dyre, the enigmatic Alpha King of the Lycans, their connection is instant, electric, and utterly terrifying. Harald knows Asis is his fated mate, but convincing her is another matter. Asis rejects the idea of destiny, refusing to be owned by anyone, even a king. But when a vengeful vampire targets her as the key to destroying Harald’s reign, she must confront the truth: the bond between them might be the only thing that can save her. As Harald struggles to earn Asis’s trust, she discovers her strength—both as a woman and as a key player in the supernatural war brewing around her. Torn between her fear of losing control and her growing feelings for Harald, Asis must decide: will she defy destiny, or will she claim her place as the Luna Queen at Harald’s side? As danger closes in and secrets unravel, Asis faces an impossible choice: cling to her hard-won independence or embrace a love that demands everything—body, soul, and freedom.

Chapter 1 - Welcome Back

Asis was reading on her couch when her ma(mother) came to her, "Asis, it has been five months since Amma's death, and you're living here alone. Don't be stubborn and come with me to your home." Asis saw her mother in disbelief. "Ma, which home are you talking about, from which you sent me away when I was just five years old, and now you're expecting me to go back there?"

Her mom calmly said, "Why are you so difficult to manage sometimes? You know very well, I was busy, and it was difficult for me to raise you at that time." Asis knows there is no point in arguing with her, so she starts rereading her book. Then her mother annoyedly asked her, "Asis, your brother is getting married in the next two months, and I need you at Sinha Haveily to help me out in that.

Asis said in relief, "Ma, if you just want my help with arranging Aarav's wedding, why didn't you ask me before, instead of pressuring me to move in with you permanently in the first place?" Her mother responded politely, "Because I want you to stay there permanently, but you always do what you think is right for you instead of listening to your mother."

Asis smiled at her mother and calmly said, "Ma, I know you're worried about me, but please respect my decision. If I want to move there permanently, then I will, but it will be my own choice."

Her mother said smartly, "All right, I won't pressure you again if you go with me, 'Bo Liv,' on tomorrow's flight." Asis gave up and said, "Okay, but now you can't go back on your word." Her mother said with a smile, "Deal, and please pack your stuff after dinner."

Then they had dinner together, and after that, Asis went to her room to pack her stuff to live at 'Sinha Haveily' for two months.

The next morning, she sat in the car, and they went to the airport. It was a long flight to 'Bo Liv,' and when they reached the 'Bo Liv Airport,' her brother, Aarav, and father, Kian Avi, welcomed her.

Finally, 19 hours later, she was in Sinha Haily (Mansion), and her childhood memories were rolling through her head; this place was still the same. Her family decorated the hallway for her and welcomed her with flowers. After having dinner with her favorite foods and meeting with other family members, she went to her room.

The next day, she woke up early and went for a walk to clear her mind in the backwoods of her home. After the walk, she sat on the bench near a lake. After some time, a red-haired girl came over and sat down with her on the bench. She said excitedly to Asis, "Hi, I'm Berit. What's your name?"

Asis awkwardly said, "Hi, I'm Asis," and then Berit asked, "I haven't seen you before, did you move in?" Asis replied, "No, I'm not new here, I just came back after years." Berit said, "Nice to meet you, Asis. I just got excited when I saw you, there are not so many charismatic people living around here, please don't mind my behavior." Asis said dramatically, "Yes, I mind a little bit, but don't worry, I am very generous," and then the two started laughing. Asis liked Berit's bubbly personality.

After spending time with Berit, she went back to her room. It was 6 am, so she did yoga and took a shower before heading to the dining room for breakfast. Everybody was there, and the house cleaners were serving breakfast. She took her seat and started eating her breakfast.

During breakfast, her father, Kian Avi, said, "Asis, have you considered joining the office yet?" Before Asis answered, her mom responded, 'Joining the office.' Do you mean your office? Because I want her to join my office. Jimmy is already collaborating with you, all I want is for Bittu to collaborate with me in my firm." Avi said, "Mihika, Jaa n(love), I just recommend that she join whichever organization she wants; after all, it's up to her." Mihika said, disappointingly to Avi, "Someone should learn to change the subject, Avi Kian Sinha."

Aarav helplessly said, "Ma, why always do you drag me into this?" Mihika glared at Aarav and said, "Jimmy, you never listen to me, that's why, dear." Then the conversation changed to Aarav's wedding.

Asis was relieved that the topic of conservation had changed, and she didn't need to answer any questions today.

 *****

The royal courtroom filled with Lycans and high-blood werewolves when the court guards opened the doorway and announced, "His royal majesty Alpha King Harald Eirik Dyre Ingolf has arrived."

Everyone bows their heads until he sat on his throne, ." and he commanded the High Council to start the trial when the high councilor said, "Your Majesty, this is the trial of Emil alpha of the northern pack 'Ray Black' who not only revolted against your order of borderline territory and invade in 'Silver Beiste' and killed their pack members including women and children".

Evidence of his horrific crimes was presented to the Alpha King and High Council. The high councilor ordered guards to show Emil, and a moment later, Emil was in front of his majesty.

The alpha king saw him and said in his dominant voice, "All the evidence has been presented, and you were found guilty, but before bearing the consequences of your crimes, I gave you a chance to represent yourself."

Emil jeeringly said, "I did not do anything wrong. I just fought for my territory line, which you unfairly want me to share with my rival pack, Silver Bei….

The Alpha king glared and growled at him, and not only Emil, but everyone, was trembling and furious at Emil for daring to disrespect the Alpha king.

They all know he awakened the beast, and there is no way Ingolf (God wolf) ever spared him.

Emil was shivering. He begged the Alpha king for forgiveness, but it was too late. The alpha king shifted into Ingolf and tore him apart. Then he calmly shifted back. Royal servants cleaned Emil's blood off him and helped him dress, while others tried their best to clean up the mess as quickly as possible.

The alpha king sat on his throne and said, "This is the fate of whoever forgets his place. This trial is over."

He ordered his Royal Beta Anders, who came forward at once and bowed his head. "I want you to solve territory issues between 'Silver Beiste' and 'Ray Black'". Royal Beta said respectfully, "Yes, your highness, I'll try my best to solve it."

The alpha king went for training. Ingolf said, "Dyre, how much do we have to wait for our mate?" Harald Dyre responds sadly, "I don't know Ingolf. Only the Moon goddess knows this, but didn't you feel our wait would be over?" Ingolf replies, "Yeah, it makes waiting even more difficult."

Harald Dyre said, "Ingolf, where we have waited for so many years, I think we can wait a few more days?" Ingolf said with a sigh, "Yeah, just a few more days."
