Marchioness Harriet Goldlane, a talented noblewoman, made a deal with Old Duke Almandine. To save her younger brother, she was willing to become a substitute for Liam's 'mate', the grandson of the Old Duke. Liam was an Alpha whose 'mate' died long ago. He was severely injured and had been living without a heart for a long time. He could only wake up from his sleep when there was a full moon.

The Old Duke and Liam himself guessed that the man would die soon due to his worsening condition. Because of that, Old Duke wanted Harriet to give birth to an heir to the Almandine Family from Liam's seed so that their family would have a new leader.

The Alpha's replacement bride would soon find that she was in love with the dying man and now they both wished for a miracle to save Liam's life. Could she fulfill her duty to bear the next Alpha for the Almandines? Would Liam survive to protect his bride and family?

The Alpha's Replacement Bride

"So, how exactly did you two meet?" Liam asked Arai, who was sipping her third glass of wine. 


"Huh? You mean me and Serpent?" asked Arai. 


Penelope chuckled, knowing that this was going to be a long and exciting story, and immediately poured wine into her glass. She didn't even care anymore if Arai broke the rules about not being able to reveal anyone's identity in this building. 


"I and Serpent met… aah, almost ten years ago?" Arai was not sure. 


So they had been friends since they were teenagers? Liam glanced at Harriet who was quietly sipping her Bloody Mary. 


"Serpent beat me in the Jousting Tournament and came first," continued Arai. 


"Joust–" Liam was so surprised he turned his head to Harriet. "Madam..." 


Harriet smiled. She explained, "That was when I was young and rebellious. I ran away from home and entered the Jousting Tournament secretly with my identity hidden." 


Liam blinked his eyes. Harriet didn't look like someone who won a jousting tournament.
