For N years, I have lived in the Purifier Training Institution, my memories lost due to a certain incident.
And finally—
The man I had been waiting for arrived.
The Grand Duke, a beast starved for blood, the ruler of the North.
Only he could lead me to my memories and family—so I worked tirelessly to catch his eye.
Luckily, I succeeded in intriguing him…
I was recognized for my compatibility and abilities, becoming his exclusive Purifier.
But this man—
He’s even more insane than the rumors say.
“Do I look satisfied to you?”
If I wanted to achieve my goal,
I had to throw away my pride like it was nothing.
“Give me another chance.”
His piercing blue gaze bore down on me,
like a predator watching its prey struggle beneath its claws.

That woman—
She definitely has a purpose.
A reason why she breathes beside me, why she clings to me.
Other women have tried before.
But her purpose feels different.
Something that has nothing to do with me—
Which, honestly, I preferred.
Because as long as I understood her purpose,
I could use her just the same.
Or so I thought.
That’s why I let her use me for as long as she pleased.
Until I uncovered the truth behind her goal.
Until she fulfilled her purpose—and then tried to escape from me.
When I found her again, my vision had already turned red.
“Did you really think you could run away from me?”
