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

Seeing the suspicious group before her, Harriet didn't have to wait long for the answer, because she finally saw a familiar face. 


He was the owner of a large auction house in the Capital. The handsome young man with dark grey hair sat on his horse and watched the group from behind. Looking at the situation, it seemed like the group had just resumed their journey after camping nearby to spend the night. 


If Jake had been supervising the trip himself, it might have been a very important item that they were bringing with them. It was just that Harriet had a bad feeling from seeing the group. 


And sure enough, just as they came to a curvy road between three high hills, where there was nowhere to run and it would be difficult to escape, suddenly the mercenary troupe escorting the group drew their swords—and pointed them at their own party. 


"Betrayal, huh?" Harriet muttered under her breath.
