***Wattpad HQ's Editor's Pick - Feb 2023, Nov 2023*** She rules the seas. The infamous Sea Siren, a tormented pirate with a desperate vendetta and a past slewed with betrayal, scandal, a price on her head from a King who would see her dead. She and her crew seek revenge for a living, spanning the oceans in search of justice while the King's guard follows closely behind, intent on capturing the Siren at last. ••• He commands the seas. A commander. A bastard and prince. His King has given him his purpose. Find the Sea Siren. Find the vengeful woman and drag her back in irons. He'll scour oceans for this fire-haired pirate, determined to bring her to heel. Until he sees her. Until she sees him. Enemies in duty, but underneath that, something else. Something neither of them can explain. But one thing is for certain... it is ruinous.

Lady Wortham calls me the Widow of Winslow and Peak. Never to my face, only in hushed tones, and always with conspiring eyes peering over the rim of a pretty lace fan. "I heard she killed Mr. Winslow on their wedding night." To her credit, this is partially true. Mr. Thomas Winslow was, indeed, my first husband, and the poor man did, indeed, die on our wedding night.

This isn't a story for the faint of heart. This is a story about a girl who loved a boy. A boy who couldn't love her back. This is a story about the bitter, the sweet, betrayals, second chances, and redemption. If your heart doesn't hurt by the end of this wreckage, then I haven't done my job properly.

Thea would say she "Isn't like other girls," if the phrase wasn't so disgustingly trendy. With a personality more salty than the Dead Sea itself, the attractive allure of a cactus, a peculiar hatred for feminist self-victimhood, and occasionally accidentally (as in totally on purpose) insults people, she is perhaps more old man than teenager. Now, taking Thea as she is and relocating her to a cliche, isolated town in Washington with supernatural creatures and a stereotypical high school makes for a rather interesting mix. Thea's perception of reality takes an insulting dive into uncertainty as the wannabe Sherlock Holmes discovers there is more to life than crappy parents, classic rock, and the TV show Supernatural. Stay tuned as Thea comes rifle barrel-to-snout in this epic journey to survive senior year, mythical creatures, and Feelings(TM). ~ ~ ~ Subscribe to TheAllieL Patreon for exclusive stories and content not featured on Wattpad and to support future works and book publishing! - Free Subscriber Tier - Allie's Library - Tier 1 - $2/month - Allie's Journal - Tier 2 - $5/month Subscribe here: Patreon.com/TheAllieL

Nea Riar, a human, accidentally stumbles upon a portal to another world full of everything she has thought to be a myth. There she meets five men; Fae, Demon, Shifter, Warlock, and Incubus. What these five men have in common is that they are each seen as a threat in a society ruled by matriarchy. In the world of Asorix, Arradona is a Queendom where women are superior. Most are physically closer to the size men, the difference in high not as great, and their magical capabilities are naturally stronger from birth. They dominate and tame men, claiming those they see fit as husbands to add to their growing harems. Those of the upper class compete with one another by comparing the number of husbands they have in their harems, ranging anywhere from the tens to the hundreds, and even a rare few in the thousands. In these lands, five men; Zev Dubois, Cassius Montgomery, Jaxon Novak, Ezra Larsen, and Axel Dimitrov are anomalies. They're stronger than any male that has existed, physically and in terms of magical capabilities. The extent of their power is unknown, but it's speculated that they are more powerful than women also. Their power and wealth has earned them a high status without having to marry a wife to gain it, something that was impossible before them. They are seen as a threat by the Council. In an attempt to control them, the Council orders that they must each take a wife in hopes that she can tame these men who show signs of being dominant. The women of Asorix stumble over one another trying to take at least one of the five as a husband for their harem because of their looks, money, and status in society that would all become their own. During this time the five men come across Damanea, a woman who isn't like the rest. She's the opposite of what women in their world are like. Instead of being dominant, assertive, and abusive, she's meek, cautious, and weak. So what do they do? They marry her. Updated Patreon Link: patreon.com/DRK_Stories
