Her Ex Left Her for a Rich Woman — Then Watched the Alpha King Carry Her Away

Alice sewed that wedding dress with her own hands. She sewed it for the bride of the man who had promised to marry her. They brought her to the engagement ball, not as a guest, but to kneel on the floor and fix the hem the moment it tore. And while she was down there, in front of everyone, they asked out loud who would ever want a seamstress with no dowry. The whole hall laughed. Then a man in a black hood crossed that hall, took her hand, lifted her off the floor, and told them all to be careful how they spoke about his fiancée. She had never seen him before in her life. And he was not supposed to be in that room at all.
