“In my past life, I took a poisoned arrow with my bare hands to pave my fiancé's path to the throne. But on the eve of his coronation, right in front of my bloody interrogation table, my best friend was pressed against his chest, letting out sweet, coquettish moans. Holding her, he sneered that my scarred hands were too dirty, and methodically chopped my fingers off, one by one. He forced me to my knees to watch as 72 members of my family-even the month-old infants-were beheaded in the public square. Their warm blood completely soaked my white wedding dress. Biting into my bleeding stumps, I swore a blood curse. When I opened my eyes, I was back on the morning of my wedding day. This time, to hell with true love! In the middle of a torrential storm, I hijacked another bridal carriage. I ripped off my luxurious veil and smashed it onto a terrified, weeping bride. "You want the perfect Alpha?" I told her. "He's yours." Without looking back, I marched straight into the lair of Caiden Gregory. He was the dominion's most terrifying "Mate-Killer"-a bloodthirsty monster rumored to feast on human flesh. To drag my ex to hell, I willingly sacrificed myself to a true demon. But the second we completed the sacred mating bond before the dark altar... The "monster" forcefully grabbed my waist and slammed me against the cold stone. A soul-shaking electric jolt ignited my blood. He was my true Fated Mate?! His stormy gray eyes pierced right through my disguise. With a ruthless tear, he ripped off my stolen veil, the deadly point of his Alpha fangs grazing my pulse. "You're not the cowardly rabbit they sent me," he growled, a predatory hunger darkening his eyes. "Since you went through so much trouble to crawl into my territory... let's see if you actually have the life force to survive our wedding night, my beautiful... fake bride."”
