"Take off your clothes, I want to see the body I'd be living with for the rest of my life," he commands, moving to the other side of the room where the red armchair was.

She hesitated, and that displeased him. He growled, clearly infuriated. “Do you need some kind of motivation? Because you will not get it. Take off your fucking clothes!” he thunders, making her jump and her legs shake.

With shaky hands and a trembling body, she grabbed the hand of the silk gown again and dragged it down. Her eyes stayed glued to the floor, not having the audacity to look up at the alpha king across the room from her.

“You’re not done yet!” 
Mia Asika had wanted only one thing for the longest time, enlightenment and the freedom to travel the world in search of it. Mia's dreams however ended the day Ariel, her beautiful and fair older sister who was betrothed to the alpha king, died the night before her marriage and she became the last resort. Hated at sight, the alpha king moved to make her union to him that of misery. 

Can Mia's will for survival withstand the alpha king's cold and unloving nature?

The Alpha King's Ugly Bride

　　Elliot stepped forward, and Xavier’s eyes told him he was making a mistake. “We are not carrying out our will here, King Xavier. This is the desire of our father, stated in the scroll you just received,” he spoke up in his defence.


　　“Our father’s desire? Is that a joke?” Xavier asked in an absurd tone.


　　Mia watched the drama unfold. She didn’t know the alpha of alphas would be one making such crazy demands. Perhaps she didn’t know him.


　　“This isn’t a joke. I believe our father is doing what he thinks is right.”


　　Xavier did not like that, Elliott replied to him. “I already told you to leave!” he sneered. “Don’t make me shove you out.”


　　Elliot took a step back. “You will defile our father’s request.”


　　“I will defile the moon goddess’ request if she had made such insane demands.” Xavier bit back.
