*The Last Dragon Emperor

The Empire of Veyrith had been ruled by dragons for thousands of years, but their bloodline had almost completely disappeared.

Only one remained.

Emperor Kael Draven, a thirty-year-old half-dragon, was the last surviving member of the ancient Dragon Bloodline. His father had been a pure-blooded dragon and his mother a human, leaving Kael with the immense strength and instincts of a dragon.

He possessed enormous black wings, golden eyes with slit-like pupils, sharp claws, and an overwhelming aura that could make even powerful Alphas instinctively submit.

Kael was infamous throughout the empire for being ruthless, merciless, and extremely dominant. He was cold-hearted and rarely showed affection toward anyone. His entire life had revolved around power, control, and maintaining the survival of his bloodline.

But there was one thing even an emperor could not control.

Fate.

Dragon-blooded Alphas could only form a true bond with their fated mate. No other person could satisfy their instincts, making ordinary marriage practically impossible.

Every dragon was born with the name of their destined mate engraved upon their body.

Kael had carried the same name across his chest since birth.

Yoon Xie.

For thirty years, he had searched for the person who carried that name, rejecting every marriage proposal from powerful noble families and countless beautiful Omegas.

Eventually, his people discovered the truth.

Yoon Xie was a nineteen-year-old Omega from the poorest district of the capital.

He had no noble blood, no wealth, and no powerful family behind him. He worked long hours at a small dumpling restaurant simply to afford his food and rent.

Yoon Xie was small, gentle, and incredibly innocent. His old clothes were usually slightly too large for him, his hands were rough from work, and despite his difficult life, he remained kind to almost everyone around him.

He was the complete opposite of Kael.

Kael was feared by kingdoms.

Yoon Xie was barely noticed by his own city.

Yet the moment Kael finally found him, the dragon inside him recognized its mate immediately.

There was no doubt.

The name engraved upon Kael's chest belonged to the small Omega standing behind a dumpling restaurant counter.

According to the ancient laws of the Dragon Bloodline, Kael and Yoon Xie had to be married and eventually have children to ensure that the last dragon bloodline would survive.

For the first time in his life, Kael was forced to surrender to something he could not control.

Fate had chosen his mate.

And that mate was a poor, innocent nineteen-year-old Omega who had no idea that his entire life was about to change.*
