A Royal Mark

In the werewolf kingdom of Naraina, the Alpha King is getting desperate to marry off his son after six failed engagements. He orders the weak Delta clan Sigertem to send a daughter and the abused, powerless daughter is chosen. Alice Sigertem is the child of a loveless marriage. After her mother died, her father brought in his lover and her own daughter. From then on, Alice’s life was reduced to that of a mere servant. After years of being treated like dirt, Alice has learned to keep her head down, hide her pain, and obey every order. So, it comes as no surprise that she is arranged to be married to Sirius Alderidge, the sickly Prince who has driven away all six of his potential wives so far. Afraid of being sent back to her abusive family, Alice resigns herself to her fate—and soon finds that her handsome husband-to-be is kind, but has a lot of secrets. He fakes his illness and goes out with another identity, someone powerful and terrifying. But Alice is shameless because she has a secret of her own. As they slowly open their hearts to each other, love may have a chance. ୨ৎ This is an original work. No angst, not too heavy dramatic plots, just classic fantasy adventures and a wholesome relationship. Nothing too annoying or toxic.

Alone... Or Not?

At the residence, two days later.

By the time Sirius returned from God's Palm, he found Alice waiting for him in the dining hall, standing by his seat. She smiled when their eyes met.

"I cooked today as well," she said. 

His eyes traveled from her to the table full of food. 

"Oh yeah!" Dante excitedly sat down. 

The rest followed. Alice was sat to Sirius's right, looking expectantly at him as he took his first spoonful. 

He thoughtfully chewed. Her giddy but anxious face worsened with every second.

"....Delicious."

A bright smile spread on Alice's face. 

"Really? I'm glad..."

He watched intently and averted his gaze after catching himself. 

"Thank you," he said when he finished, in a volume only she could hear.

She only smiled.
