Abused, Mistreated by her own family, Serena Whitlock, the Alpha Princess had lost all the colors of her life. Threatened by her stepmother to marry the notorious man of the town, Serena imagined to spend her entire life in misery.Things changed when not any Alpha or Alpha King but the God of werewolves, Killian Dallas Howard had appeared in her wedding to claim her as his mate. Rumoured to be a monstrous beast, killed multiple women during intimacy, Killian was nothing but a monster in the eyes of everyone. Could she survive her life with the God of werewolves? Or she was going to have the same fate like all those women had?
" You look beautiful, Princess Serena!", the maid spoke, her eyes tearing up in emotions. Only she was close to Serena in this castle. Serena smiled at her maid, Layla and looked back to see her own reflection, adorned in various expensive jewellery. Although she was a princess, she never had the blessing of having those as her own. Her step-mother even took away her belated mother's crown on force. Today, she got them all because the entire town will be witnessing her marriage. In no way, Matilda Whitlock was going to ruin her reputation in front of everyone.
The maid brushed her long black hair, wearing a smile as she complimented the lady from her heart,
" Your husband will love you so much, My Lady! Mark my words!"
A bitter smile creeped on Serena's lips. Liam Hemsworth, the second son of Hemsworth was nothing but a piece of shit to everyone. Taking drugs, abusing women were probably his favourite habits. Serena knew that this marriage was nothing but a business proposal. Her father wanted to expand their business in their town by marrying her off to their useless son. Even if they were going to marry each other legally, her fate was going to stay the same, a maid disguised as a princess.
A hiss passed through Serena's lips when Layla grabbed her hands to put the bracelet. Startled by her response, Layla quickly dropped her eyes down to see those black marks around her wrist. She bit her lips tightly, absorbing the cries silently. It was probably from yesterday when Young Princess Sierra,complained to the queen about Serena. Like always, Serena got the punishment without any judgment.
Serena watched her maid's face turning sad for her. She smiled, forcing a smile on her lips,
" It's okay, Layla! I am used to it."
Before Layla could say anything, the door of their room was slammed open, Matilda walked in her queen crown. Her eyes burnt in rage when she saw that Serena wasn't ready yet.
" Are you preparing her for the funeral? What's taking so long huh! It's already good enough that she is married to the Harmsworth family.", Matilda scoffed out bitterly, glancing between the maid and Serena. Layla quickly bowed her head, apologizing,
" She..she is ready,my queen! I was about to take her out."
Sierra appeared from her mother's back, wearing more dazzled clothes than Serena as if it was her own wedding. She asked her mother with a radiant smile,
" How do I look, Mom?"
Matilda complimented sweetly, her eyes shining in pride,
" As always! Just like a crown princess!"
Serena sighed heavily, swallowed the painful lump in her throat. From an early age, she was forced to act like an omega even though she was Alpha by blood. The crown of the princess was supposed to be her. If they dared to treat her the same if her mother was alive?

Drumrolls hit in the air, audiences stood up to honour the princess who was walking in her aisle. Everyone was smiling except the bride herself. Her pale was covered under the thick lines of makeup, hiding her true emotions from the crowd. Serena's eyes pulled over to her father who was smiling and greeting the guests. He never cared about her. Sometimes, she even wondered whether he was her real father or not.
Matilda and Sierra smiled at each other meaningfully. Finally, her rival was leaving the castle. Although they did everything to present her as a weakest werewolf to remove the chance of becoming a crown princess, the fear was still there since she was the eldest between them.
" Father!", Serena bowed to his father, waited for his sweet, blessing words but they never came out. Alpha King, Rodriguez only hummed at his daughter, then gestured at her to take the stage where their wedding was going to take place. Hearing nothing from her father, Serena walked away with a heavy heart, tears threatened to spew from her eyes.
" There....my bride...", a loud drunkard voice caught the attention of everyone. Everyone looked back to see Liam Hemsworth, staggering to the stage. Liam looked drunk, his steps missing. His eyes were already red for taking drugs.
His family members cursed from the audience after watching his state.
He couldn't even stop himself from taking drugs at his wedding?
Serena peered through her veil that way. Her heart once again shattered into pieces, looking at the man who was an infamous womanizer. Naturally, the audience whispered negative comments among each other. Some even wondered how the king was marrying off her daughter to someone with a bad reputation.
Liam continued walking, staggering and spatting incoherent words,
" My bride..we are going to fuck each.. others.. tonight..."
Matilda shut her eyes tight in annoyance. She had to sugarcoat the king for an entire night to convince him of this marriage proposal. Now, Liam was going to ruin everything with his behavior.
Matilda laughed to divert her attention from Liam,
" Ha..ha..This child.. Actually Liam was too excited to marry, Serena. He just had some fun with his friends.. Don't worry, he will be sober at night.."
The crowd found it convincing. Liam came from a strong family background, and had friends with all the prestigious heirs from the town. It was believable that he had a party before the wedding.
But Serena knew the truth. She heard with her own ears that her step-mother was letting her get married to Liam because he was weak to fight for her fair position in their family. Matilda and her sister did everything to remove her possibility of being a crown princess. Sierra wanted the throne at any cost even if it meant to kill Serena.
Before Liam could get on the stage, few guards of king Rodriguez had rushed into the hallway. The guards all spoke in chorus, appearing terrified,
"Your Highness! Your Highness! The God...the God of werewolves is here in search of something...He is coming here.."
