Vampires and werewolves have been at war for centuries. In an attempt to make peace, Alessandra, the vampire princess, is wed to the Alpha Emperor of the werewolves, Xavier. All her life, Alessandra has grown up learning that the werewolves are barbaric in nature, a far cry from the elegant vampires. What happens, though, when Alessandra realizes that this is far from the truth? Their relationship starts off rocky with misunderstandings about each other, but through time, a bond slowly builds as they encounter and overcome obstacles together as king and queen, alpha and luna, husband and wife! When a cult started by an ancient vampire attempts to sow discord between two kingdoms, can Alessandra and Xavier maintain peace between both races? Or will their kingdoms fall into war and ruin, dragging their budding love down with it? — [Excerpt] When the guards declared the groom's entrance, everyone's attention turned to the door. I felt a hammer on my chest. Here comes the barbarian, I thought. I was looking away, lowering my gaze. The man entered the wedding hall. I felt like my intestine would come out of my mouth. The sudden gulps of the guests were not going unnoticed in my ears. What caused the guests to respond like that? Was the man that hideous? I lost my zeal to look at him. With a heavy heart, I kept looking away until he stood in front of me. Slowly, I glanced at the man standing in front of me. My heart was pounding so hard that I felt like it would burst. I gasped. There was no way he was the alpha lord and the groom of tonight's wedding. The phenomenally handsome man from earlier was standing right in front of me. Up close, he was multiple times more attractive. Barbaric man? Who? He was radiating such royal energy that even the noblest vampires were intimidated when he entered. My husband-to-be.
"How can someone still not claimed by the Lord ascend on the luna's throne every day without having any sense of regret?" the first elder inquired. The sharpness in his tone pierced through my soul.
"If the alpha lord has not yet decided to take you as his mate, you cannot be considered one of us, let alone being the luna," one of the elders said.
The man was a lot younger. However, he appeared more observant and calmer than the other elders. I failed to recall meeting him on my first encounter with the elders. Someone with such an ethereal appearance as him would be impracticable to overlook.
"It is the greatest humiliation the wolves could ever face," Lord Lazark said.
"This vampire lady not only dared to deceive the entire wolf species, but she also underestimated the wolves by stepping on the ancient luna's sanctum without having any sense of consequences," the first elder continued.
The arrows of the accusations only continued to get cruder with each moment passing.
