In a world hidden from human eyes, where magic and supernatural powers reign, there was once a powerful and feared queen. Serenity, the most potent supernatural being, was at the helm of this world. But now, her life has taken a tragic turn.
For the past five years, Serenity has been reduced to a helper at a university that trains new supernaturals. This university, a massive castle-like structure nestled in a dense forest inaccessible to humans and protected by a spell, is a place of mystery and power. Every day, before sunrise, Serenity's duty is to draw water from the magical well and tend to the unique plants that rely solely on this enchanted water. Her hands, once capable of wielding great power, now burn from the rough rope of the well as she struggles to complete this menial task.
Once the queen of the supernatural realm, Serenity now lives in a small, dilapidated room. It's scarcely larger than a prison cell, with a tiny bed that barely accommodates her small frame, a cold-water washroom, a broken mirror, and rusty walls. She has chosen this life of hardship and toil as a form of self-punishment.
The reason for her downfall is a heart-wrenching event that has haunted her for a century. One fateful day, her daughter Angel was found lifeless on the ground, and Serenity was witnessed seemingly absorbing the child's powers. Her mates, Lucifer, Vincent, and Nicolai, were devastated and immediately accused her of the unthinkable. Despite her protests of innocence and her genuine shock at what had occurred, they refused to believe her. In their grief-stricken rage, they banished her from their lives and territory.
Since that tragic day, Serenity has been slowly losing her powers. She is now on the verge of becoming human again, a process that she knows will ultimately lead to her death. But before she succumbs to her fate, she has one burning desire - to see her mates one last time.
The university is gearing up for a momentous event - its 500th anniversary. This occasion has drawn the attention of all supernaturals, including the hybrid kings - Serenity's former mates. The news of their impending arrival has sent shockwaves through the campus. Students are abuzz with excitement, especially the girls who are eager to catch a glimpse of the handsome kings. However, it is known that the kings have shunned all women since their queen's betrayal.
Serenity, upon hearing of their arrival, is torn between her longing and her fear. She knows that seeing them will reopen old wounds and expose her to their hatred once more. But her heart yearns for this final encounter. As she tries to prepare herself, she discovers that her compulsion, which she used to make others forget her existence, is starting to fade with her diminishing powers. This means that her secret could be revealed at any moment, adding to the danger and complexity of the situation.
To hide from her mates, Serenity resorts to desperate measures. She steals a magical white flower resembling jasmine from the campus, hoping it will mask her scent. But she is well aware that this may not be enough. She is constantly on edge, wondering what will happen when they arrive. Will they recognize her? Will their hatred consume them once again? Or could there be a glimmer of hope for some form of closure?
As the story unfolds, we will be taken on a journey through Serenity's past and present. We will witness the love she once shared with her mates and the joy of having a family, only to see it all crumble in an instant. We will explore the mystery behind her loss of control and the true nature of her powers. Is she truly a monster as her mates believe, or is there more to the story than meets the eye?
The novel will also delve into the world of supernaturals at the university. We will meet other students like Albert, a 125-year-old student who befriends Serenity and offers a glimmer of kindness in her otherwise lonely life. Through their interactions, we will learn more about the different types of supernaturals and the hierarchy within this hidden society.
