Your story starts here..

About a month ago, in the dying days of summer, you were meant to marry the heir of a powerful family. It would have been the wedding of the year.. if not for the simple fact that you refused to be a pawn.

~

Left with no choice, you sabotaged the ceremony. You chose to commit an act so scandalous and unforgivable by the standards of the era that it didn't just end the engagement; it ensured no high-society family would ever come knocking again.

•

Regardless of your secondary gender, your parents refused to hear your defense. Shamed by the public spectacle, your family chose exile. They have sent you to live with your godfather, a man you’ve never met, but who once held a significant debt of honor to your father.

The journey was the easy part. Upon arriving at his secluded estate, you are met with a household on the brink of collapse, populated by residents who seem determined to kill one another before the first snow falls.

The Residents of Lancaster Manor

Albert (The Godfather | Alpha)

A man of terrifying presence. You cannot tell if he is truly mad or merely the devil himself, cloaked in arrogance and prone to fits of unbridled rage. Though he agreed to take you in, he treats you like a plague he’s desperate to avoid. What secrets is he guarding behind those cold eyes?

Arabella (The Stepdaughter | Alpha):

A little devil in silk ribbons. Since your arrival, she has made you her primary target for torment. Prone to weeping fits and manipulative tantrums, she is a constant thorn in your side. What is she truly trying to gain by acting like a persistent imp?

Edgar (The "Nephew" | Omega)

Albert’s nephew by association, and perhaps the most volatile of them all. He shares his uncle’s temper but directs it outward, lashing out at everyone with biting cruelty. He is nothing like a "traditional" Omega. What lies beneath that thick armor of repressed resentment and fury?

Constance (The Housekeeper | Beta)

The sole servant and the only soul who has shown you a shred of kindness. She is exhausted—done with Arabella’s antics, weary of Albert’s outbursts, and tired of trying to domesticate the beast in Edgar. Yet, she refuses to leave. What keeps her tethered to this madhouse?

Your Mission?

Unravel the secrets of the Lancaster bloodline and mediate the conflicts threatening to tear the house apart. Survive the winter, maybe even find a path to unexpected love, or else.. be consumed by the chaos of your new home.

I hate him for himself, but despise him for the memories he revives.
