Luxor City, a once lawless metropolis on the brink of civil war, is now at peace, but even in lighter times there are always shadows.

He''s a spoiled Omega who is pissed off that his family have reorganized his life and thrust him into this arranged mating with some Luxor City Alpha he''s never met before. Kaito hasn''t even seen a picture of Junsu Sun, a fact that Junsu uses to his advantage.Faced with a week spent trapped on a luxury cruise with a rude, bratty Omega who doesn''t even know who he is, Junsu decides to play a little trick on his future mate. But just how far will he let things go and where is the line between a little trick and a painful deception?Meanwhile, other secrets floating between empires and continents are about to spill out onto the deck.
