The plot: this princess has been waiting years till she was of age to attend the ‘season’ where she’d be allowed to chose the alpha mate she always had eyes for. One of her fathers; the king, alpha lords, that never attracted a female because of the battle scars on his face and body. He’s a a huge tall and muscular man. He himself doesn’t think he’ll ever find a mate but keeps going to the ‘season’ for his clan so the would have an alpha female/mother to lead them. However this season she’s of age and she goes right up to him and claims him as her. He is surprised but they quickly fall in love, and his instincts to protect her or on over drive as she is very much smaller than he is.One scene from the book is that they have a small ‘tryst’ on her balcony outside her room, while her bridal shower is going on right below them.Thank you for your assistance
