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

Jake Scolecite wrote in his report that, apparently, the sperm donor of the babies was supposed to be Ethan Diamond himself. 


Ethan and Celine were in an incestuous relationship, but they didn't want to risk inbreeding while still wanting to get pregnant. 


Celine, six years ago, was still healthy enough to have a baby herself with her own eggs, but to make sure their babies were healthy without any disability, she decided to search for an egg donor. 


That way, she could bear her brother's babies in her own womb. 


But it was later revealed that Ethan Diamond used another man's sperm for an unknown reason. 


When the children were born, they looked nothing like Ethan, who was supposed to be their sperm donor. That was the start of Celine's suspicions. 


As they grew, they looked and behaved even more strangely, making Celine hate them more and more. That was when the abuse started. 


It wasn't always visible. Celine would also hit them, but more so, they were emotionally abused.
