Beast

He was the shame of the family. Add that to the fact that he lied to his wife and took the blame for a crime he never committed—just to save her collapsing company—and you’ve got Cole Bennett. Three years later, this man walked out of prison. Of course, no one comes out the same way they went in. If you've got some experience, you know what that means. But guess what? The bastard Cole went to prison for—the one who promised to help his wife—didn’t lift a damn finger. And guess what again? Cole was the only one treated like trash when he went in, but now, his in-laws have gone full beast mode, treating his wife worse than poop. Now imagine a man who spent three years in one of New York’s deadliest prisons. A man who found mysterious mentors behind bars. A man full of rage. A man who learned how to unleash the kind of emotions you’re not supposed to tame. Tell me—what exactly isn’t bound to happen?

In a world where your fate is determined by the monster you bond with, seventeen-year-old Han Seojin is a nobody. Labeled cursed. Ignored by the system. Rejected by every creature he’s ever tried to summon. Until one mistake drops him into an unregistered dungeon before it stabilizes, and there, buried beneath the world, he touches a chained statue of a wolf. It bites back. Now bound to Fenrir, the apocalyptic beast of Norse myth, Seojin has unlocked a secret Role that should not exist — Bringer of the Apocalypse. His new companion is angry, divine, and very interested in finishing what Ragnarok started. Seojin didn’t ask for this. He doesn’t even want this much power. But the gods, the system, and the world itself are watching, and all of them are waiting to see whether he’ll destroy everything… …or tame the end of days.
