In every fairytale story, fate always brings the prince charming and his pretty damsel together, ending with true love.
But mine was the exact opposite.
It was a dark and disgusting tale that would make the world turn its backs on me, even more so than already. It was a tale that couldn’t be retold to any innocent little girl.
For, in my own story, I had drugged my prince charming with a love potion and I had no idea when or how soon it would it would wear off.
Keagan had never been interested in me. Hell, I had no doubt he didn’t know that I existed. After all, who would be interested in a lowly omega maid like me, the weakest in rank? Definitely not my Alpha.

But a life as an Unloved Luna definitely beats one as a washed-up, raped, and abused Omega…right?
