Soraya, the fierce and formidable Queen Luna, once ruled with strength and power that commanded respect. Driven by grief and blinded by vengeance after the death of her parents, Soraya unleashed a terrifying storm upon the human world, her fury spilling innocent blood and shattering the fragile peace between humans and werewolves. For her recklessness, the Moon Goddess decreed an unforgiving sentence: Soraya would be banished to the spirit realm for a hundred years, stripped of her power, her spirit imprisoned, and kept apart from those she loved. In her absence, Erick, the Alpha King and Soraya's devoted mate, is condemned to his own punishment. The Moon Goddess commands that if he ever wishes to see Soraya again, he must devote a century to serving the very world she devastated. Desperate and driven by his love for Soraya, Erick accepts this challenge. He dedicates himself to the human world, founding BioGenesis, a groundbreaking biopharmaceutical corporation that revolutionizes medicine and brings healing where there was once suffering. His philanthropy is boundless, and his reputation is that of a man who has sacrificed everything for the greater good. But beneath his selfless acts, Erick harbors an unwavering hope—that one day, he will be reunited with the woman who still holds his heart.
