I flinched as his hand reached to my face, and aggressively pulled down the cloak from my head. His eyes scanned me, taking in my tear-stained face, my jewelry, the hem of my dress. Then he spoke, voice cold and measured. "What is your name?" I opened my mouth, but no words came. Fear tightened its grip. "I believe I asked you a question," he said, eyes darkening further. "Alice," I choked out between tears and ragged breaths of panic. His cold eyes stayed on my face a moment longer before he finally released my cloak from his grip. His gaze drifted to the window. "You will address me as Your Highness. I do not tolerate mistakes. I will not shy away from punishment, and if I have too, I will make sure you learn to never defy my order again. Do I make myself clear?" -------------------- In this world, everybody has a soulmate-two people destined to be together for the rest of their lives.

"You're playing with fire Safania." "Good thing I don't burn." The last words he spoke before throwing me onto my bed sounded like a threat, but felt more like a promise. "You will." *** Don't get caught. Those are the three words Safania has lived by for the past five years. As a marked woman - easily identified by intricate bronze marks on her back and unpredictable special abilities - she has spent the past five years running from anyone who might exploit those abilities...especially the royal families who tortured marked women to build their empires. Starving, exhausted, and frozen, she collapses by the bank of a river just to wake up in her worst nightmare: the chambers of a prince. Prince Cassius is his father's first choice of his three brothers to ascend to the throne. He's smart, strategic, and stoic, unlike his corrupt and depraved brothers. There's just one problem: he has no interest in any of his proposed marital matches, and the King will only pick someone as his successor who he knows will carry on the family line. But once he meets Safania, he finds himself unable to imagine ruling the kingdom without her by his side. Can he convince her to trust him? *** Warning: this story contains mature and potentially triggering themes including domestic violence and sexual assault. Reader discretion is advised.

"It is not nice to listen in on very important matters." He had called her out from her hiding spot. The minute he had looked at her, she saw his eyes turn from muddy brown to black in a matter of seconds. Though young, Willow was a beauty; a sight to behold. Black raven hair, silk and shiny always laid neatly in a braid atop her head. Her skin was sun kissed pale compared to her tribe, and blue-grey eyes; were a sight to behold. A wicked beast lusts for her, but she was meant to mate with a barbarian; king of lethal beasts.

Amelia has been betrothed to the Dragon King by her family, a decision she despises. To her, it feels like nothing more than a transaction-a desperate attempt by her kin to save themselves from the wrath of the dragon-born who terrorize their land. As a gesture of peace, the king willingly offers his eldest daughter in marriage, hoping to appease their fearsome overlords. But Amelia refuses to accept this fate. She has no desire to wed a dragon-born, creatures she has long feared and despised. Ruthless, monstrous beings who see humans as little more than prey-why would she ever pledge herself to one, let alone their king? The rumors surrounding him are terrifying; he is said to be a formidable warrior, a relentless ruler. How could she be expected to marry a man she has never even met? Fueled by defiance, she hatches a plan-one final act of rebellion against her father's will. Disguising herself, she slips away to a bar, determined to find a man who will take her virtue. If she is no longer untouched, surely the Dragon King will be insulted enough to reject the marriage. But she will not give herself to just anyone. Then she sees him. A striking man with tanned skin, a powerful build, and green eyes that seem to burn with intensity. He is perfect. She approaches him, striking a bold deal-thirty gold pieces for a single night with her. Amused and intrigued, he accepts. That night, he takes her, and it is unlike anything she has ever experienced. The day of the wedding arrives, and Amelia is adorned in the finest silks and jewels, a vision of beauty. But as stands at the altar, her heart stops. The man coming in through the doors-the man she is to wed-is none other than the stranger from the inn. The Dragon King himself.
