The Trash You Discarded Loved You Most

After his life-saving credit was stolen by his manipulative stepbrother, his scumbag fiancé cheated blatantly right in front of his face, and his step-parents publicly humiliated him as a lowly "bastard", pure-blood Moon Tide Omega Silas was forced to take his stepbrother's place and marry the fabled venomous "monster" of the Abyss — the being every soul in the realm warned would rot through your scales the very second you so much as brushed against him. Everyone waited eagerly for the disposable sacrifice to meet his gruesome death the moment he stepped past the Abyss border. But the second Silas set foot in the shadowed realm, the so-called half-decomposed "monster" dragged himself out of the dark to reveal a face of devastating unearthly beauty: he was the Abyss's rightful dethroned crown prince, a top-tier Alpha crippled by a deadly poison plotted by his usurpers. And Silas's unique Moon Tide blood? It was the only antidote on the entire planet that could undo the curse eating through his flesh. The tyrant Alpha slammed Silas hard against the cold obsidian wall, glowing crimson eyes blazing as he snarled: "You will never, ever get to leave me for the rest of your life." What started as a guaranteed death sentence quickly turned into a tale where the strongest Alpha in the world would burn down the entire realm just to keep his Omega safe. By the time Silas, carrying their child that inherited both of their unmatched royal bloodlines, ascended the throne to rule over all kingdoms, his regret-crazy ex-fiancé was left groveling in the dust, begging for him to spare even a single glance, long past the point of being forgiven. Packed with ruthlessly satisfying scumbag-bashing moments, unapologetic over-the-top Alpha wife protection, sacred life-bound scale exchange, and a harrowing life-or-death choice in the legendary Bone Pool, this is the ultimate peak angsty yet supremely satisfying power fantasy romance set in a vivid ABO mermaid world!
