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.
Claire received a lot of attention from the nobles since she was a human. Werewolves seemed to have a weird fascination with humans. Vampires would always consider them as emergency food.
Those wolves didn't even have an idea that she was not even a pure human. I yawned as there was not much to do at the party. As I was the empress, I had no choice but to engage myself in the boring conversation with the officials of the royal court. I glanced at Xavier and found him struggling in the same situation.
As our eyes met, I looked away. I noticed Claire was standing in a corner quietly. I couldn't fathom why she was acting all gloomy and depressed. She seemed perfectly fine two days ago while accusing the Luna and falling into Xavier's arm.
"Lady Claire," I called her calmly.
Claire seemed intimidated by my approach. She was standing, folding one arm over her chest, grabbing the elbow of the other arm. She didn't even bow to me. She really was audacious.
