Prologue: The Bond of Betrayal

Virendra was my love. Or so I believed. Until I learned that I was nothing but a pawn in his game of revenge.

Love and vengeance—two forces as powerful as blood itself. Mine was love, an Omega’s unwavering devotion that knew no bounds. His was vengeance, cold and calculated, driven by a past I knew nothing about.

For two months, I lived in the warmth of his touch, the illusion of his care. Those two months were the most blissful of my life. I had felt his touch, his warmth, his love seeping into every part of me. I drowned in the ocean of his affections, unaware that I was merely sinking into the depths of his deception.

I was Jayant, the only Omega prince of Mahabaleh, son of King Rajvardhan and Queen Abhi shree, the pride of my kingdom. My family’s honor was built on duty and dignity, and yet, on that fateful night, none of it mattered. I was young, lost in love, desperate to believe in the tender words Virendra whispered against my heated skin. I had given my heart to an Alpha who never truly wanted it. My love was real. His was a lie.

The night of my ruin, my heat came like an unstoppable storm, igniting a fire I had never known before. And he was there.My Virendra. My Alpha. Or so I believed. I trusted him. I wanted him.His presence soothed the fire within me, his touch ignited desires I never knew existed. Under the moonlit sky, I surrendered—my heart, my soul, my body—completely, unconditionally.

He held me close, whispered promises into my burning skin, and claimed me in a way no one else ever had. I gave him all of me, forgetting the world, forgetting duty, forgetting that an Omega’s purity was his greatest honor.

When the sun rose, I woke up alone. The scent of him still clung to my skin, but he was gone. The broken bangles on the floor, the scattered flower garlands, the deep ache in my body—everything reminded me of what I had lost. All that remained was the ache of my loss and a letter.

"A scar your family gave to me, and a scar I have now given to yours."

The walls of my palace could not contain the whispers. The Empire knew. My family stood disgraced. A ruined Omega prince—unclaimed, untouched by the sacred bond of marriage, yet marked by an Alpha who had already moved on.

The truth shattered me. Virendra, the Alpha I had trusted, had never loved me. He had merely claimed me to ruin me. Whispers of my shame echoing through the palace halls. An Omega’s purity was sacred, and mine had been stolen before marriage—before a bond meant to last a lifetime.

The shame should have killed me. But I refused to die.My heart bled, but I refused to be broken. If Virendra had played his game, I would play mine. If Virendra wanted revenge? So be it. I would return the favor.

I sent invitations for my suitor’s ceremony, a grand event where noble Alphas would compete for my hand. Among them, I invited one man Virendra would never expect—

I would make Virendra taste the agony he had left me with.

The fire of my love had burned me once. Now, I would turn it into an inferno of vengeance.

He had destroyed my innocence. Now, I would destroy his soul.
