My human Starlight Lottery bride was supposed to be a pawn, not become my most precious prize… As the eldest prince of an ancient and regal orc bloodline, I should be focused on my lands and people. Instead, I’m constantly thwarting my family’s attempts to ensure that I produce an heir. Having no interest in the wealthy, well-bred women my family keeps foisting upon me, I lose my patience and take things into my own hands. I will marry. But it will be a woman from one of the weakest and most detestable races in the universe. I will marry a human. But what begins as a malicious jab at my meddling family turns into something else entirely when Luna actually arrives. She’s lovely, tiny, and soft in a way that makes me feral with the need to protect her. She looks at me with trusting eyes and sees a worthy husband. She thinks I truly wanted a bride. That I truly wanted her. And the great, misguided joke of it all is… It turns out she is right. Welcome to the Starlight Brides – where luck is optional, but the hot alien is guaranteed!
