And instead of waking up a few days before, she wakes up 10 years before, in her own ten year old body. ** Warning, this story will contain death and other dark themes.

Lorenzo Alcantara grew up under the care of his nanny, Aling Aurora Santos, while his parents were busy with their business. Under Aling Aurora’s guidance, he learned to conceal the secret power that coursed through his veins—a secret that must never be revealed to anyone. Meanwhile, Aling Aurora’s daughter, Amara, did not believe in legends or monsters. Yet, she loved stories of fantasy—worlds she thought were nothing more than fiction. She never imagined that those stories would come to life in the form of the person closest to her. On the night of Lorenzo’s twenty-first birthday, under the dazzling glow of a full moon, the monster within him awoke—revealing his true nature as the last White Wolf. Amid love and danger, could Lorenzo protect the woman who gives him light and shields him from the enemies who seek to find him? Or will he himself become the reason for the destruction of everything he holds dear—because of the wolf blood that runs through his veins?

Born with everything, yet given nothing. The noble bloodlines are all born with the same talent: the innate gift of magic. For him, however, he was born with nothing. No magic, no power, no authority. So he was abandoned. Seven summers since birth, he was forgotten. Hidden. Nobody remembered the forgotten noble, and he wished he could forget them. Come ten past, and he began to think. Began to envy. Began to scowl. He would destroy the lineage, no matter what the cost. He would usher in a new era... the era of the Unblooded.

In this world, a dark spell was cast by an unknown entity—its effect, devastating. Humanity was stripped of emotion, and those who succumbed turned into violent, mindless beings known as Neighers. To combat them, a group emerged: the Slayers. These warriors gained special powers, but at a terrible cost—they had to lose at least one core emotion to awaken their strength. Some were naturally immune to the spell and became known as Powers. Others were artificially created to harness similar abilities. Among them is a boy named Sun. He killed his own sister and, in doing so, lost the emotion of joy forever. Now, he walks the path of a Slayer—not for redemption, but to uncover the truth behind the curse that destroyed everything.

A scholar. A soldier. A shattered empire. Mihir was never meant to marry. Born a Brahmin without caste in a world where only men remained, his life was supposed to be spent in silence—chanting verses, not carrying blades. His guru gives him a single order: “Begin your married life.” No names. No destination. Just a choice. West to India. East to the past. He walks east. In the bloodstained borderlands of the Tang Dynasty, he finds him—Zhang Zheng. A fallen Chinese commander, carved in scars and silence, abandoned like a broken sword in the dirt. Mihir doesn’t know his name. Doesn’t know his war. But he stops. And saves him. That moment rewrites empires. Zhang Zheng is not just wounded—he’s hunted. A father of four. A ghost of a disgraced dynasty. His enemies wear his family’s faces, and his mother—the one the world thinks is dead—has returned to burn it all down. Mihir never asked for this. But he’s already stepped into a dying man’s war. Already tied to children who call him father. Already bound to a man who refuses to beg, but bleeds like he’s praying for something he no longer believes in. This isn’t love. This is survival. This is destiny wrapped in barbed wire and bound by fire. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Indian × Chinese | BL | Historical Fantasy | Tang Dynasty, 7th Century This story is born from ashes—of lost dynasties, broken families, and forgotten names. It is not soft. It is not safe. It’s a story of two men—one a wandering scholar from India, the other a disgraced commander from China—who were never meant to cross paths, let alone share a life. In a world with no women, where Alphas, Betas, Omegas, and Enigmas shape society, love still bleeds red. This isn’t a love story wrapped in flowers. It’s one wrapped in war, betrayal, and fire. I wrote this for those who crave something different—not polished and perfect, but raw, cold, and tangled. If you came for softness, turn away. If you came for truth carved into steel, welcome. —Menox :)
