Alexandra Malcadiza was a peasant girl in the Goldivia Kingdom who swore to herself that one day she would become a princess.

Excerpt:

"When I grew up, I wanted to be the crown princess of Goldivia Kingdom and make the royals beg on their knees!" That was her line when she was only six years old, which terrified her parents. 

"My dear sweet child, you can't say something like that in a crowd." Her mother softly mumbled.

"Why?" The little girl innocently asked her mother.

"The people will mock you, and that is against the law of our Kingdom. A girl like you can't marry a prince." Her mother answered, and she cried bucket that night since she thought marrying a prince would be easy.

Growing up, she hated the unfair laws and regulations of their kingdom, especially the Royal family, and Alexandra longed for change. When she turned eighteen, she became obsessed with being part of the royal family to access power and to have a voice in the kingdom.

Prince Lucian Woodsire is the Crown Prince of the Goldivia Kingdom. He lived in luxury his whole life and never associated himself with the slaves since, for him, they lived in different worlds. He swore never to fall in love with a slave like what the fortune teller had told him.

The King released a decree that shocked the kingdom and made the council members question his decision. But the King's order should be followed, which terrified the prince.

An opportunity knocked on Alex's doorstep when she learned about the decree, and she felt so excited to carry out her mission and realize her dreams.

Is Alexnadra brave enough to fight and prove her worth? Can she navigate inside the palace full of treachery without jeopardizing her own heart after meeting the crown prince and realizing he is her first love?

Can Prince Lucian fight his ego, or will he accept defeat after finding out the slave they were talking about was the beautiful maiden he had been dreaming of?

Saving Leah Series Book 7 "So what do you admire most about women?" I ask the man as he sips on his coffee. He smirks as he sets his cup down, acting as if my question was some sort of joke, "Her complete submission, of course." I hum, disproving greatly of this answer as well as all the others before. "Birdie is not the type of submissive to give complete submission easily. What is your plan with that?" I ask him. He just laughs, "Every submissive can be broken in, it is only a test of a dominant's will," he says with a smirk. I smile tightly and slide his application into my folder, having all the answers I need. "So when do I get to meet her?" He asks, suddenly standing as he sees me gathering my things. I smile for real now, taking great pleasure in this part of the project. "Birdie is a flame in need of stoking, not extinguishing. I appreciate your time, but I have a lot of other candidates-" "There is nothing wrong with me holding my submissive up to high standards. I'm an incredibly experienced dominant and-" "This has nothing to do with your experience level. Like I said before-" I try to explain again before he once again cuts me off. He raises his voice going on about himself. I doubt he really cared for Birdie all that much. He's never met her. This is an ego thing. "You have a nice day," I tell him with a sigh, turning and checking my watch as I leave the coffee shop. Appointment four down, six more to go. ---- Birdie, the wild, sassy, and fiery child of Ellie and Charlie is now of age to have her own dominant. With deep insecurities about her own personality, she asks her beloved brother Weston to find her a dominant. Ethan set out in life to be successful and he did just that. He owns his own finance company, his house and a nice car...but no submissive. He finds Birdie's profile online and is intrigued by the vague descriptions and the extensive interview process he must undergo to meet her.

[THIS BOOK CONTAINS MATURE THEMES WHICH IS ACCEPTABLE FOR 18+ READERS ONLY] "Yes?" His deep voice growls. It's so deep, so velvety. I can feel myself getting aroused. Aroused in ways I've never felt before. "I was told to come and speak to you about my keys." My voice is deep but the slight shake to it gives away my nerves. I can only be thankful my voice didn't break. He pauses for a second, his eyes gleaming over my body and if I was naive, I'd believe he was admiring me. But a man like him, so commanding, so powerful, he wouldn't look twice towards me. He digs into his pocket, a small set of keys emerges from them as he dangles them towards me. Why would he have my keys? As my hand moves forward, I brush the soft skin of his fingers and that tingling sensation overwhelms my body once more, but more intense than the last. My eyes shoot to meet his and I'm almost certain the smallest moan left my lips. It was small, so under my breath, I would bet my life nobody heard, but his eyes, god those eyes, they were devious, like he was trying to tell me he heard. I wanted to flush with embarrassment, how could such small contact make me act in such a way? "Thanks" I mutter. It felt like my voice was laced with arousal. I felt like I was waving a huge flag that screamed I want you. I turn on my heel, walking towards my bags, I can feel his gaze across my body, it's like I could feel the warmth from it dance across my skin. My heart is throbbing, I can feel myself pressing against my joggers and I know if anyone was to look they would see just how aroused Alpha Slater made me feel. [THIS IS AN EARLY PRE-WARNING THAT THIS BOOK WILL BE GOING THROUGH A MAJOR RE-EDITING (AGAIN) - THIS WILL BE DONE ALL AT ONCE AND NOTICE WILL BE GIVEN HERE TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE BOOK IS CHANGED.

It does have around 40 chapters so it might not seem like it. But trust me that it is.] ||Full Disclosure|| I started the book in the end of 8th grade so it needs MAJOR editing. It also does have Sexual Chapters, as well as people of the same sex being together, murder, brutally torture talk of rape and sexual harassment. So if you do not wish to read things like that then this unfortunately isn't the book for you. ||You Have Been Warned|| First book in the Heart series. •Do Not Copy This Book In Anyway•

"Fuck, baby. You can't say things like that to me. I want to, also. Trust me." His hand snakes down my body until he enters two of his fingers into my wet center. I can only moan in response. "However," he kisses my neck possessively, finding the right spot to drive me crazy. "I need to build you up to that." He pushes his fingers in and out of me, hitting deeper and deeper as his strokes become longer and harder and faster. "You feel that? My fingers deep in your pussy that's dripping for me?" He licks the side of my neck as my breaths come out in short pants. "My dick is going to stretch you out so much more. When I finally fuck you, you're going to be sore for days.
