Wren thought she could protect Ronan forever by faking her abandonment. But years later, the serpent shifter she once saved comes back as an S-class prisoner, remembers everything, and wants revenge. When he escapes and locks her away, old emotions begin to surface beneath the bitterness. As the truth unravels, his hatred turns into possessive love, and he makes a calculated choice to become a trainee officer just to stay near her. A tense forced-love story of mistaken motives, reversed roles, and a bond that survived eight long years.
