    Summary

    Shen Yuan always knew the city was unforgiving, but he’d learned how to live with its sharp edges: keep his head down, his scent hidden, his life small. Being alone was safer than reaching for comfort that never lasted. But one night changes everything. A stranger’s words turn into harassment, an alleyway becomes a battlefield, and Shen Yuan finds himself broken and bleeding into the dark feeling that something in his body has shifted, as though it’s no longer entirely his and he can’t understand why.

    He expects to be left there, forgotten. Another omega who strayed too far from safety.

    Instead, the wrong set of eyes finds him. Cold, sharp, and merciless, the kind of man no one should want near. Yet when his presence floods the air, the city itself seems to stop breathing. And in the hollow space where terror should live, something else takes root.

    Lacuna: a word for an empty space, a missing piece. What remains when something is lost, or the opening that makes room for something new.
