Introduction

Chapter 1

Central Africa

The Sahara Desert.

A steel fortress, built from reinforced concrete, rose from the ground.

This is Bilt Prison, the highest-security secret prison in the world.

The prisoners locked up in this jail are some of the most notorious criminals in the world. Among them are leaders who sparked wars between nations, arms dealers, and terrorists who carried out deadly attacks.

A concentration camp for all the worst of the worst. Over 90% of the world’s most vicious criminals are imprisoned here.

This is one of the most impregnable prisons in the world. No one has ever managed to escape from here since its establishment. On the other hand, it’s also the safest place in the entire world.

In the distance, a convoy raised clouds of yellow dust as it approached slowly. The watchtower at the top of the prison issued an alarm, and the prison gates, resembling the maw of some ancient monster, slowly swung open.

Pairs of fully armed soldiers stood at attention, highly alert with real guns in hand, all staring in the direction of the convoy.

Leading the convoy was a prison bus, surrounded by eight multipurpose infantry vehicles tasked with providing security. Each infantry vehicle was equipped with a heavy machine gun. At the rear of the convoy were two heavy tanks.

The soldiers standing in front of the prison gate couldn’t help but take a deep breath. They had never seen anything like this before. Not even Coxins, the leader of the “Dark Red” organization, had ever received such a grand reception.

The prison bus came to a slow stop. Several soldiers with serious expressions quickly got off the bus, their automatic rifles aimed at the entrance of the bus. The heavy machine guns on the infantry vehicles were also ready for action. The two tanks at the rear adjusted the barrels of their guns and aimed them at the prison bus as well.

The soldiers standing in front of the prison gate were tense, with many of them even trembling slightly as they held their guns.

“Click!”

The doors of the prison bus opened automatically. A young man with yellow skin stepped out calmly. At that moment, everyone couldn’t help but feel nervous.

The young man had a handsome face and piercing eyes. His star-like eyes were dark and profound. Although he wasn’t particularly tall or muscular, he possessed incredible explosive power.

Wherever his gaze fell, all the soldiers trembled with fear. Some were too terrified to even meet his eyes, bowing their heads in dread.

A cold smirk appeared on the young man’s lips. Under the watchful eyes of everyone around him, he stepped through the prison gates.

Meanwhile, a piece of news spread like lightning throughout the entire underground dark world.

Mandy March, the super-warrior who intimidates the dark underworld, the supreme military deity of the global military community, and known as the “human nuclear bomb,” has been captured and imprisoned in Bilt Prison.

At the headquarters of the UK’s Special Operations Department, an imposing old man stood atop a tall tower, hands behind his back, gazing into the distance. On his desk lay a file marked “Top Secret”.

“Commander, the latest news is that Officer March was captured at the Middle East border. He has now been imprisoned in Bilt Prison. Should we initiate international negotiations?”

A middle-aged man beside the old man adjusted his glasses and reported all the latest news to him.

“,

“Heh, Deputy Bill, this is a top-secret mission! Let’s just wait and see what happens!” The old man smiled slyly, his cloudy, aged eyes flashing with a glint. The middle-aged man beside him immediately showed a look of realization.

Now that makes sense. How could someone as formidable as a war god possibly be captured so easily? Unless he himself wants to be captured!

But… but what level of task is this, exactly? It’s enough to make that invincible war god from the military branch take action personally. Deputy Bill can’t even imagine it. After all, that war god-like figure holds a high position, and hasn’t taken action in many years.

……

“Damn it, how did he get in?”

In one of the highest-security cells of Bilt Prison, a muscular man with blond hair and green eyes slammed his fist against the solid wall, his face showing fear.

This man was none other than Coxins, the leader of the “Dark Red” organization and the most powerful prisoner in Bilt Prison. But with this man’s arrival, he was no longer the most feared figure around.

“Boss, this is the safest place in the whole world. Even if that man gets in, he couldn’t possibly cause any trouble.”

“It’s said that he hasn’t taken any action in many years. Besides, it’s not certain that he’s after us at all.”

In the neighboring cell, a red-haired young man with sly looks pondered for a moment before expressing his thoughts.

“Damn it, you have no idea at all. You simply don’t understand what that man represents! He’s a war god, a supreme ruler!”

With a roar, Coxins, who had blond hair and green eyes, clenched his fists tightly. His fists began to tremble uncontrollably, and his green eyes were bloodshot.

I hope… I hope that man’s target isn’t me.

After going through a whole series of complicated procedures, Mandy March was taken to her special cell. It was a 360-degree prison made of transparent tempered glass, with no blind spots.

Outside the prison, there were dozens of soldiers, fully armed and ready for action. At the slightest sign of anything unusual from Mandy March, they would act immediately.

In this dark and gloomy prison, it’s impossible to tell how time passes. By now, it’s getting late, and a terrifying sandstorm is raging outside in the desert.

The howling noise tugged at everyone’s heartstrings. The dim, flickering light swayed like ghostly flames in the darkness, causing unease in those who saw it.

“Snap!”

Just then, darkness descended suddenly. The entire Bilt prison was plunged into utter darkness, with all the lights going out at that moment.

Sitting with her legs crossed, Mandy March suddenly opened her eyes. Her dark, profound eyes flashed with a murderous intent in the darkness.

“What the hell! Why’s the power out? Someone, please help quickly!”

The soldiers guarding outside were in complete chaos at this moment. Many of them tightly held their guns, their faces filled with fear and anxiety.

You should know that this place holds the world’s most vicious and dangerous criminals. If anything goes wrong in the darkness, it will be a disaster.

“Bang!”

A muffled explosion suddenly rang out, causing the soldiers standing around Mandy March’s cell to shudder.

“Bang!”

That voice rang out again, like Satan’s scythe reaping lives, exploding in everyone’s heart.

“Fire! Shoot now!”

At the command of the leading soldier, a barrage of gunfire erupted in the darkness. The well-trained soldiers, at that moment, seemed to be transported back to the past, to their days as recruits.

Fierce gunshots echoed for three full minutes, until the long-missed lights came back on once again.

“Phew, thankfully nothing went wrong!”

The leading soldier glanced at the light at the glass cell covered in bullet holes and at the figure lying in a pool of blood. He let out a long sigh of relief.

In special circumstances, he has the authority to take special action. So, in order to prevent that man from escaping, he decided to fire his weapon, even though it might lead to serious consequences later on.

“Captain… look… look at the body!”

Just as the leading soldier was struggling with how to handle the situation later, a trembling voice interrupted his thoughts.

He furrowed his brows in irritation, his gaze toward the soldier filled with strong displeasure. But when he looked at the corpse in the cell, he was instantly overcome by a state of utter shock.

Inside the shattered glass cell lay a man with golden hair and green eyes!

Coxons!

Coxins from the “Dark Red” organization… but that terrifyingly powerful man was nowhere to be seen!

At this moment, the entire Bilt prison was thrown into unprecedented chaos!

A mile away from Biltmore Prison, Mandy March sat in a jeep, speeding toward the docks in the distance.

“Commander… I never expected that it would be you who’d be carrying out this mission. I… I…”

The young man driving the jeep was red-faced and spoke in a frantic manner. After all, the man sitting next to him was none other than Mandy March, the second-in-command of the UK’s Special Operations Corps. He was also the youngest general in British history, known as the “God of War.”

“Sir, are you heading back to headquarters?” The young man couldn’t hide his excitement; his voice trembled as he asked.

Mandy March silently gazed at the endless coastline, unable to help but sigh.

“No, I’ll go back to England. I haven’t been home for too long…”

“There are some things that need to be settled once and for all.”

He grabbed my hair and dragged me downstairs. His grip on my hands and feet ached terribly. I sobbed and wept, silent tears streaming down my face. I was powerless to break free, my left hand clutching my broken right wrist.

He was a beast inhabiting this mansion, inflicting inhuman torture on my poor soul. He had created a living hell for me, this pitiful girl, within his castle.

On this cold winter night, he threw my wounded body into the icy pool, arrogantly enjoying it all, drinking and smoking expensive cigars. A satisfied, cold smile played on his lips as he reveled in my pain. His face was filled with the darkness of sin.

“How...more...am I…still…standing?” I stammered, my lips trembling.

Zain paused, thinking. Then, turning away from her, he replied:

“Until you die!”

With that, he left. As he wished. At that moment, my wish came true; I died.

But not in a frozen pool; I was struck in the head by a bullet from afar, blood splattering everywhere—that was far more gruesome.

My consciousness began to fade, but suddenly, I opened my eyes again and found myself mopping the floor in an ordinary restaurant.

I was startled: What happened? I was reborn? This is unbelievable!

One Night. One Mistake. One Lifetime of Consequences.

I thought I was waiting for love. Instead, I got fucked by a beast.

My world was supposed to bloom at the Moonshade Bay Full Moon Festival—champagne buzzing in my veins, a hotel room booked for Jason and me to finally cross that line after two years. I’d slipped into lacy lingerie, left the door unlocked, and lay on the bed, heart pounding with nervous excitement.

But the man who climbed into my bed wasn’t Jason.

In the pitch-black room, drowned in a heady, spicy scent that made my head spin, I felt hands—urgent, scorching—searing my skin. His thick, pulsing cock pressed against my dripping cunt, and before I could gasp, he thrust hard, tearing through my innocence with ruthless force. Pain burned, my walls clenching as I clawed at his iron shoulders, stifling sobs. Wet, slick sounds echoed with every brutal stroke, his body unrelenting until he shuddered, spilling hot and deep inside me.

"That was amazing, Jason," I managed to say.

"Who the fuck is Jason?"

My blood turned to ice. Light slashed across his face—Brad Rayne, Alpha of Moonshade Pack, a werewolf, not my boyfriend. Horror choked me as I realized what I’d done.

I ran away for my life!

But weeks later, I woke up pregnant with his heir!

They say my heterochromatic eyes mark me as a rare true mate. But I’m no wolf. I’m just Elle, a nobody from the human district, now trapped in Brad's world.

Brad’s cold gaze pins me: “You carry my blood. You’re mine.”

There is no other choice for me but to chose this cage. My body also betrays me, craving the beast who ruined me.
