Years have passed since omega Prince Ilia was married off to alpha King Khalid of Hanu as a political bargaining chip. But thanks to the years of hardship and chaos they overcame together, this once political union has turned into a genuine, loving marriage. Unfortunately, their peace is soon sundered when Ilia gets word that King Cyril of Romelidahl—the omega-hating father who sold him off—has fallen ill. Having searched his soul for what to do, Ilia hesitantly decides to go pay his respects to the father who betrayed him.
