"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

　　Xavier stood beside the door of the court, holding a smile on his face as he watch her speak with the maidens. Not for once did he take his eyes off her majesty. 


　　She was the walking, breathing definition of perfection. He didn’t care how the trial would end; he didn’t put his mind to it. He was only interested in cherishing his queen for the rest of the time he had.


　　As the maidens took their leave, Mia’s gaze finally turned to him, and his heart skipped a beat. She smiled and made her way over to him. Every step made his heart beat faster. 


　　The smile didn’t leave her face as she approached, and he took a few steps forward to meet up with her. 


　　Yes, that was very important, but somehow, having her with him for the rest of time felt even much more important. Staying with him, however, might not make her as happy as it would make him, and if he truly loved her, he had to consider her happiness as well.
