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.
"Alexandra, don't force yourself," Edrik said, struggling to release my forearm from my mouth.
The last brain cell I had left had probably given up on its life force. I didn't know if I could be considered an intelligent species at that moment.
Edrik kept pulling my forearm, and my bite only pierced deeper.
"Leave it, Alessandra. You are going to bite off your hand at this rate," Edrik said again.
Edrik grabbed me by my neck like a feline's, and I continued to chew on my forearm. The door suddenly opened from outside.
"Brother?" Edrik mumbled.
I growled at the sight of Xavier. Edrik's provocation had made me lose my mind like a hungry animal. Even the sight of Xavier made my thirst go up uncontrollably.
I began to struggle in Edrik's grip, finally releasing my forearm. I spread my hands, intending to grab Xavier. Biting Xavier had become the only goal in my life.
