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.
Xavier was getting impatient waiting for me. I had avoided him for the rest of the day after we attended the assembly with the elders. He was aware that I went to attend the tea party later at the Wentworth palace.
I returned to the palace later than expected. However, I went to my personal bed-chamber shortly.
I did not go to sleep with him either. He had heard from Esty that I had hurt my fingers at the tea party. Though Xavier was notified that Lady Evelyn had taken decent care of me, he couldn't help getting concerned.
He waited a bit longer for me to greet him. However, I informed Lydia that I would not join him in his bed-chamber for that night.
Then Lydia went and informed him that I would like to rest in my bed-chamber. I was aware that Xavier was not accustomed to such rebellious behavior. And after listening to my pledge, he would not take it lightly.
