Nikolas Kowalski was a Lycan rogue that rose from the ashes of his past to become the most powerful man of his era. Although he had turned his life around, his thirst for revenge was beyond his control, and he sort to get even with the people that burned, destroyed his family and made them into rogues. He sorts to seek revenge on the alpha that defeated his father and exiled his mother while pregnant with him. Luckily he did not go feral because he was born packless, but his mother was able to hold on to her sanity long enough to raise him and tell him her version of the truth. Now that he has risen with so much hate, he seeks to destroy the man and people behind his family’s demise by taking his territory, his daughter, Aliana, and making her and the people suffer. Although Nikolas seeks revenge and retribution through Aliana, his heart and wolf seek otherwise; enthralled by her personality, he falls deeper than he could ever imagine.

I knew there was no escaping it. My father’s sins would be my undoing. He was a wicked man, feared and hated by many, and now that he was dead, the weight of his crimes had fallen squarely on me. I didn’t even have the chance to grieve—or to breathe—before his Beta dragged me away from the south, from everything I’d ever known. I was supposed to be their Alpha. That was my birthright. But it didn’t matter. The pack had other plans for me, and being their leader wasn’t one of them. My father’s Beta delivered me to the northern Alphas, the very men who despised my father the most. And that’s when I learned the cruelest truth: they were my mates. But they didn’t want me. Warning: This is a reverse harem mild dark romance filled with intense emotions and themes that are not for the faint of heart. Read at your own risk.

Sebelum aku berumur delapan belas, aku adalah putri kesayangan Keluarga Mahendra. Semua berubah pada hari ulang tahunku yang kedelapan belas, ketika ayah pulang membawa seorang gadis yatim piatu bernama Karina. "Dia butuh rumah," kata ayah. "Kamu yang akan mengurusnya, seperti adikmu sendiri." Sejak saat itu, semuanya berubah. Kakakku yang dulu begitu memanjakanku, menjadi dingin dan menjauh. Dan tunanganku... seakan cintanya padaku tiba-tiba berkurang setengah. Keluarga memuji Karina karena lembut dan patuh, menyebutnya anak yang jauh lebih baik daripada aku, darah daging mereka sendiri. Setelah berkali-kali tersisih karena Karina, aku akhirnya putus asa dan meraih lengan ayah. "Apakah hubungan darah nggak ada harganya di mata kalian?" Amarah ayah menyala. Ia melindungi Karina yang berlinang air mata di belakangnya, dan di depan setiap anggota keluarga, ia menamparku. "Kamu anak egois. Seandainya aku tak pernah melahirkanmu." "Kamu mempermalukan keluarga ini." Suara saudaraku Martin Mahendra sedingin es. "Pergi!" Dan tunanganku, Vincent Santoso, menatapku penuh kecewa. "Seandainya sejak awal yang bertunangan denganku adalah Karina." Mereka mengira aku akan merangkak di hadapan mereka, seperti biasanya. Tapi aku diam saja, berjalan ke brankas keluarga, mengeluarkan kartu keluarga, dan mencoret namaku dengan satu garis. Aku melepas cincin pertunangan dari jariku dan meletakkannya di atas meja. Aku memberikan Karina segala yang menurut mereka tidak layak kuterima. Bagaimanapun, aku hanya punya beberapa hari lagi untuk hidup. Yang tak mereka sadari adalah kelak, di atas kehancuran Keluarga Mahendra, mereka akan berlutut di bawah hujan, memohon aku kembali.
