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

The night they made the contract, Harriet asked Liam to call her by her first name. And in turn, Liam asked her to call him by his first name too. 


It took half a year for Harriet to discover Liam's real identity. She silently searched high and low for anyone in the Empire, and even outside of the Empire, who could fit his description. 


Right now, she had known the man so well, even to his smallest habits. It was all thanks to the full moon nights of missions and adventures. 


But after she finally found out about his real identity, she had to straighten her chest and let out a long sigh. 


She shortened his required travel time to meet her by moving her headquarters closer and closer to the north... and even thinking against a more challenging mission for them to do every month. 


Harriet turned to her windows. She saw the tall man she was waiting for every month come through the balcony.
