But a desperate struggle permanently binds their fates, injecting her burning blood into his icy veins.Now, a lethal curse forces them together—if they step more than ten meters apart, his system will combust and she will freeze to death. To survive, this ruthless killing machine must do the unthinkable: keep his prey dangerously close.As the freezing nights force them into intimate, skin-to-skin embraces, Kael's cold survival instinct morphs into a dark, irresistible fever.

She was his target, but now, she is his only cure.

Aleya Rowan is forced to sign a secret blood pact with August: in exchange for bearing three pureblood heirs, she will earn her freedom. She accepts the bargain both to protect Silas, the fiancé she truly loves, and to repay the Drake family for years of protection. Over the next five years, she gives Cassian Drake two sons and a daughter. Everyone—including Cassian himself—believes Aleya is deeply in love with him. In truth, she has only been waiting for the day the contract ends. Just as their third child is about to complete the final dragon-blood certification required by the pact, Aleya discovers that she is pregnant again. At the same time, Cassian begins making plans to keep her in the Drake family permanently. Terrified of losing her position as mistress of the household, Seraphina drugs Aleya, sets her up with a man from another clan, and forges an order for one hundred strokes bearing Cassian’s dragon seal. Aleya is dragged into the Ancient Dragon Sanctuary to be punished. Before this, Cassian has already hurt her at the Frost Dragon Pool after acting on a misunderstanding. The drugs, freezing water, violence, and brutal punishment ultimately cause Aleya to lose her fourth child and leave her on the verge of death. August finally fulfills the promise he made five years earlier and secretly sends Aleya to Elvia in the North. Only after Aleya completely disappears does Cassian begin uncovering the truth piece by piece: Seraphina framed her, Aleya had been carrying a fourth child, and even Seraphina’s supposed act of saving his life five years ago had been a lie. Consumed by regret, Cassian begins searching for Aleya everywhere. Later, Cassian is gravely injured during a family war and is sent to Elvia, where he unexpectedly reunites with Aleya, who has already begun rebuilding her life. There, he finally learns the truth from her: their three children were never proof of her love for him. They were the price she paid for her freedom. Cassian eventually stops

"I had spent my whole life living in the shadow of my sister, Juliana, the woman everyone in the mafia's heir circle adored and protected. She had no idea that I had been reborn. Just like in my previous life, she smiled sweetly and gently, insisting that I pick my fiancé first, pretending to be thoughtful and gracious. However, this time, I refused. In my previous life, I naïvely believed she meant well. I married the man she recommended, Chester Kane, an heir who was said to have been paralyzed after an ambush. I gave up my right to inherit the family, becoming his caretaker, his crutch, the medicine he used to fight loneliness. However, no matter how much warmth I gave him, his heart remained frozen. The truth only came out during my sister's pregnancy celebration. When an assassin from a rival family raised his gun toward her belly, the man who had not stood in years suddenly rose to his feet. He shoved me toward the muzzle of the gun. All seven bullets tore into my womb. As I collapsed, I saw him pull my sister into his arms, shielding her with his own body and taking the final shot for her. Only then did I understand. He had never been paralyzed. His family had never abandoned him. He pretended to be sick because Juliana's heart belonged to another man, and he refused to be tied to me. ""I'm sorry, Tania,"" he said. ""I lied to you. However, I couldn't let Juliana lose the heir she's carrying. I'll repay what I owe you in our next life."" When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day my father asked us to choose our marriage partners. This time, I chose no one. Yet back then, they were the ones who begged for my love."

Facing Eden Pater, the wealthy young CEO coveting the Baker Group, and the Dark Warlock, an evil exorcist also seeking the Exorcist's Seal, Mike used Arcane Arts to break evil curses and Truth Spell to expose the truth. Joining forces with Renee Palmer of the Supernatural Investigations Agency and Lucy Pope, an exorcism-obsessed fangirl, he gradually pushed back against the evil forces. During his journey to protect the beauty and hunt for the treasure, he discovered that clues pointed toward the south, while the ultimate boss, Lester Watt, was secretly laying out his scheme. The true crisis had only just begun.

My foster sister Sophia, the last purebred white wolf in Grell village, was raped and tortured to death by an unknow rogue wolf. Her suicide note contained only one sentence: "Lina saw his face." From that day on, I became the pack's greatest sinner. Because I knew who the killer was, but I kept silent for five years. Until my foster brother Damien, the most powerful Alpha in North America, returned. He brought back the Soul Vision Device and forcibly extracted memories from my werewolf soul. All the werewolves who had the Soul Vision Device used on them either died or went insane. My werewolf was repeatedly tortured in the device, but Damien suppressed the pain in his eyes and roared, "When I find the truth, I'll send you and the murderer to hell together." But when they finally discovered the truth, Damien went mad.
