Introduction
At the spring feast in the palace rose garden, the Crown Prince's betrothal badge went missing.
Queen Isolde smiled. “That badge was meant for the Crown Prince's future consort. If one of our unmarried male Omegas finds it, perhaps it will make a lovely match.”
In my last life, I picked up the badge beside my foot and entered the Crown Prince's palace.
But Crown Prince Darius Rivenhall, an Alpha, treated me with cold disgust. More than once, he pinned me to the bed by my throat and demanded an answer.
“Why was it you?”
Later, I found the walls of his study covered with portraits of my older brother, Leander. Only then did I learn Darius had loved him for years.
At that spring feast, Darius had deliberately placed the badge beside Leander's seat. He had wanted to marry him.
Reborn into that day, I faced Leander when he once again asked to trade seats with me.
I shook my head. “No. I like this seat.”
