REVISED 2018 Skinny, awkward, and plain ugly. That's what most people would describe Eva Farrow, a 15 year old girl yearning to be accepted and loved by her family, peers, and most of all: her best friend Vincent Parker. Unfortunately for Eva, Vince has already fallen head over heels for the beautiful brunette, Lissa Fox--who also happens to be Eva's tormentor. After witnessing the boy she loves asking her nemesis to be his date to Ball Night, Eva decides to ditch school and run away. She dashes through the woods near her neighborhood and comes across a small cabin she had never seen before. Inside, is a strange old ghastly woman who agrees to give Eva just what she wants: beauty and love, but for a price. Eva accepts, thinking the lady just wants her money, but she soon realizes exactly what she had bargained for...and it's anything but pretty. For the #JustWriteIt #OnceUponNow writing contest.

As a child, Ashne swore two oaths. With her adopted sister Zsaran she made a pact: one would never die without the other. To their mistress, the queen, who plucked them both out of the inhospitable marshlands, she vowed eternal loyalty. When a tiger spirit from a rival kingdom kidnaps the queen's only daughter, Ashne, now a trusted bodyguard, follows in pursuit despite knowing that her sword will be of little use against the ancient magic steadily reawakening across the land. But it is her human adversaries who prove more dangerous as she navigates the shifting political landscape in a kingdom still recovering from a decades-long war: a foreign sorcerer, an eccentric apothecary, an ambitious bandit chief — perhaps even Zsaran, who has long awaited a chance to achieve freedom for both herself and Ashne. Soon Ashne can no longer reconcile her love for her sister and her devotion to the women they have both served since childhood. Yet she must bring back the princess regardless. If not for love and duty, for her people's continued survival against the encroachment of powerful foreign conquerors, before whose ravenous ambitions the squabbles of two tribal kingdoms amount to dust.

"She's here," he whispered with a smile. He walked through the sea of girls, to the back row where all of the lower class wolves stood, me among them. He slowly passed each girl, sniffing them, everyone of them frowning as he passed, some even let tears escape. He was five girls away from me. A little part of me hopes that I'm his, but most of me is praying to the Moon Goddess that I'm not. He stops at Sky, the girl next to me. She smiles and her eyes light up, but then he turns to me, making her cry. "Mine," he growls. **** Ariel Carter's life was torture. She was the slave of her pack ever since her parents died. And ever since their death, she hasn't said a word. One day, the strongest Alpha in the world, Alpha Shane Chase comes to visit in search of his mate. When Ariel finds out that she's the Alpha's mate, she's terrified. She's already broken and alone and abused by her pack. She doesn't need a mate, let alone an Alpha to do that to her too. Can Shane fix her after he finds out about her horrifying past, or will she stay broken forever? Follow them on their journey involving secrets, lies, heartbreaks, and a twist that'll keep you at the edge of your seat until the very end.
