The Amulet of Kings can only be worn by Dragonborn. Alessia had no children, and the person who became empress after she died wasn't related to her, the "blood of Alessia" line was metaphorical, referencing her being dragonborn, which is mentioned like two lines before it. It was not referencing hereditary children/relatives.

Its even explicitly stated in "The Book of the Dragonborn" that the rulers of the first Empire weren't related to each other, and that neither Reman nor Tiber have any known connection to Alessia, or the other rulers of the first Empire.
