Yeon-so is an invisible Omega in the high-pressure Seoul pack, exhausted by the noise of the hierarchy and the demands of others. When she locks eyes with Min-jae, the ruthless Alpha heir, the mate bond strikes. Min-jae is days away from a political marriage that will secure the pack's territory in Gangnam. He drags her into a dark alley and rejects her, his voice shaking. He chooses duty over instinct. He expects tears or anger. Instead, Yeon-so thanks him. She demands he sign her discharge papers so she can leave the pack forever. He signs, thinking he is showing mercy. She vanishes into the human sector. Three years later, Min-jae is a powerful King, but he is miserable and alone. He finds Yeon-so in a small coastal town, living a quiet life. He begs to fix it. She tells him the bond is still there, but her respect for him is dead. He spends the rest of the story trying to court her in her small apartment, realizing that the Alpha title means nothing to a woman who learned to be happy without him. They eventually reconcile, but he must give up his crown to fit into her silent world."
