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 nobles and the elders assembled at the royal court. After the war bell rang at the end of the border, the atmosphere got heavy the moment Xavier and I stepped inside the massive hall.
The bitterness was apparent on the faces of the nobles and the elders. I could feel the intense gazes piercing through my back as I walked side by side with Xavier.
When we ascended to the throne, the nobles and the elders did not bow. Xavier barely ever cared for such extreme etiquette.
However, his patience broke as the elders revolted against my ascend to the throne.
"Lord Xavier, the sacred throne of the Luna can no longer be possessed by a vampire when they have already betrayed the world," the first elder said. "Not to mention Lady Alessandra had escaped the palace, breaking the peace contract, and stayed with the ancient vampire lord as his daughter. How can you bring her back to the palace, Lord Xavier?" the first elder asked.
