LOGIN"You woke me up," a cold voice echoed from the shadows. Ivana gasped awake, heart pounding, unsure if it was a dream—or something far more dangerous. ~~~~~~~~~~ Years ago, Ivana should have died in her mother’s womb—until a mysterious seer performed a forbidden ritual to save her. The price? The unborn child had to be betrothed to a god, bound to him for life without her parents ever knowing the true cost. On Ivana’s eighteenth birthday, her parents mysteriously vanished without a trace, leaving behind only a notebook filled with strange symbols and cryptic warnings. Now, years later, her search for answers leads her to Egypt, where she joins an archaeological team investigating a newly uncovered chamber. Deep inside, they break a seal that should have remained untouched… and awaken the very god she was promised to. A god who despises humans. With divine wrath rising, ancient secrets unraveling, and a bond she never asked for tightening around her fate, Ivana must confront the truth: The answers to her parents’ disappearance begin with the god she was forced to belong to.

Then you’re next, Isis.”“We'll see about that,” she scoffed.He snapped his fingers and teleported to his temple. “Meru” he called.Meru scrambled toward him, nearly tripping over his own robes.“Prepare yourself,” Anubis announced, not looking back. “We are leaving with that girl"Meru scratched his head, blinking in confusion. “You mean... your bride? The one who—”How in the world did he end up with this foolish servant. He rubbed his temples in frustration “ Just pack your stuffs” “Of course, my Lord,” Meru squeaked, bowing low. He hesitated, curiosity getting the better of his fear. “And... the meeting with Her Highness, Lady Isis? Did it go well?”“Don't mention that snake”“Understood, my Lord.” Mer
“My Lord, my Lord!” Maru ran back inside, nearly tripping over the stone steps. “This fool,” Anubis muttered under his breath, his golden eyes narrowing. “What is it?” He raised a brow, his voice low and dangerous. “She’s here,” Maru gasped, trying to catch his own breath. “I know,” Anubis said with a snort, his gaze fixed ahead. “I already sensed her.” His fingers flexed, golden sparks dancing along his knuckles, anticipation and annoyance mingling in his expression. Ivana hesitated at the entrance, then stepped forward, bowing slightly. “Good morning, Sir,” she said, voice trembling. “And why are you here?” Anubis asked, his glare making her knees weak. Her heart kept screaming that she shouldn't be there but then she had to find her parents. Summoning every ounce of courage, Ivana straightened. “You’re a god, right? I need your help.” Anubis’ gaze flicked to Maru. “How dare you demand my lord for help?” Maru muttered under his piercing gaze. “You’re a deity,” Ivana
Emily lingered outside Ivana’s door, biting her lip and knocked gently. “Ivana” She called out“Can… Can I stay with you tonight?” she asked softly, once she opened the door “I’m still… I'm a little scared.”Ivana smiled. “Of course. Come on in.”“How are you feeling?” Ivana handed Emily a glass of water.“I’m much better,” Emily said, taking the glass and settling onto the bed. She sipped slowly. “About the ring…” she began, but Ivana hushed her with a soft smile.“Save it for later, Emily. Focus on getting better,” she said gently.Within minutes, Emily drifted into a light, peaceful sleep, her soft snoring filling the room. Ivana moved to the window, staring out at the city lights, but her mind was elsewhere.“Bride of a god…” she whispered under her breath. Why… Why did my parents promise me to a god?The memory of his golden eyes, his raw power and searing anger, lingered in her mind, sending a shiver down her spine. Fear, confusion, and a strange curiosity tangled together, fill
Ivana felt her knees hit the cold stone floor.Pain shot up her legs as gasped for air. The chill of the temple made her shiver, but it was nothing compared to the fear tightening her chest.He circled her slowly, deliberately—like a predator savoring the moment before the kill. Each step echoed, measured and calm, while golden eyes burned into her with something far worse than anger. Curiosity. Fury. Disgust.“So,” he drawled, stopping in front of her, his voice dark with amusement. “You are the so-called bride.” His lips curved into a cruel smile. “What is your name?”“I-Ivana,” she answered, her voice trembling. Confusion written all over her face, as she frowned up at him. “What bride… sir?”A low chuckle rumbled from his chest. “You don’t know?”He replied,unamused . “That makes this far more interesting.”“No—no, sir!” She hurriedly shook her head in panic thinking he’s calling her his bride because of the ring. “If this is about the ring, I came to return it.
