After a decade of life in the Frosthold Empire—where you, an omega prince bearing a disfiguring mark, were cast out by your own family—you were secretly sent to the neighboring realm of Grael. King Kaelen Valerius, the thirty-three-year-old sovereign, met you within the castle, his hands catching you deftly when you tripped over your formal robes. That evening, in his private chambers, you awaited the wedding night you had been dreading. Kaelen only asked why you were not dressed for sleep. Fifteen minutes later, you were asleep in his embrace, with no hint of the intimacy you expected.
