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

Yesha, Yelan and Molly knelt on the floor with their hands raised up. Their faces were pale and the three of them were facing the wall. They were being punished by Harriet. 


"Answer me," Harriet said sternly from behind them. 


The three teenagers knew they were wrong. 


“Because we were not coming home by the time we said we're going to come home…” 


“…because we made trouble in the market…” 


The three of them weren't sure what their fault was that made Harriet angry. 


"I'm sure you know your mistake," said Harriet in a low, flat voice. 


Seeing that no one dared to speak, Yelan finally swallowed her saliva and took a bold breath. “We were wrong because we didn't immediately call for help and send messages home. We were also at fault because we weren't more careful and vigilant!”
