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.
The entire day passed without Xavier asking for me. In the afternoon, I decided to visit his bed-chamber. I assumed he might be exhausted from all the hassles of the past few months. However, I wanted to see him, even if it was for a few minutes.
I walked past Princess Claire's room, which was next to mine. It was bizarre that a guest was permitted to stay in the alpha palace. She was only a mere human princess. Why would Xavier allow her to live next to the Luna? I shook my head, realizing I was making a fuss over something irrelevant.
However, I saw Lady Claire returning from the garden with Lydia and the other maids. Lydia seemed to be explaining something to Lady Claire with annoyance all over her face. There was no way others could tell Lydia was angry. But I stayed with her for so long that I could already see that the noblewoman was definitely not into serving her new master.
"That's my maid," I chuckled, murmuring.
