changeling
/ˈtʃeɪn(d)ʒlɪŋ/
noun
a child believed to have been secretly substituted by fairies for the parents' real child in infancy.

According to legends, a changeling is a fairy child left in a human child's place as the human is whisked away. These changeling children were reportedly sickly, mischievous, or aggressive children who needed to be left out in the wilderness or even tortured in order to get the real child back.

***

Astrid McClean knows three things; 

1) When she starts to see things, hear things, she must take her meds. 
2) Never stay in one place for too long - stick to cities, keep a low profile. 
3) When it feels like someone is watching you - run. 

After a lifetime of medication, of therapy and being institutionalised, Astrid has convinced the world that she no longer hears voices calling her, see creatures from the corner of her eye watching. Finally free, Astrid is ready to start a fresh and try to finally be normal. All she has to do is keep to her three rules. Three simple rules and she can be just like everyone else. 

But Astrid was never destined for normal and there is no other creature in this world or any that is quite like her... 

STEP INTO A WORLD OF FAE, MAGIC, MADNESS AND SEDUCTION. WHERE A PROPHECY CALLS FOR THE RETURN OF THE PROMISED HEIR, OF FORBIDDEN LOVE AND DESTRUCTION.

"I closed my eyes with a sigh. I could feel the darkness around me sucking me in deeper and deeper; suffocating me. I just want to end it all. All the voices, all the fear, all the rules. I want freedom. This can't be what my life is like. I need a change. I stood up from my place on my bed to move to my balcony. I could see the entire kingdom from here. But I knew I wasn't the one in charge. For some intolerable reason, I cannot rule over the world I've known for years. I grew up in the Kingdom of Alathia. I'm the princess for gods sake. But my father believes I am unfit to be a king since I am a women. So I have to marry. All my life he has told me what to do. Him and my mother!" Princess Maria is trapped in the destiny of being queen and being forced to marry a rising king whom she hates with every fiber of her being. She was taught to be the perfect wife was to be the perfect queen. Quiet. Submissive. Loyal. Innocent. While trying to accept her future, she is faced with unholy nightmares, a test of dignity, and a double life to have even the slightest chance of freedom. Would she be able to create her own destiny? Would she eventually have the freedom she longed for? Or would a thief ruin her chances completely by striking a deal and making her face a fate worst than the destiny she was born with? Disclaimer: this story is not edited. I apologize for the grammar errors and any confusion to the plot. This is rated mature for steamy scenes, mentions of rape, and emotionally/physically abuse. However, I do own all of the elements of this book and is copyrighted. Enjoy!

*This story is on going through really drastic changes so read at your own risk* "I look at myself horrified of my face, all of my characteristics had changed. It's like me, but not me at the same time! With a mane of a lion, beard and head of a buffalo, brow of a gorilla, tusks or a wild boar, legs and tail or a wolf and finally the most normal and human thing, my eyes. 'For the love of Pete, I look noisome! What the hell had happened to my non monstrous face?!'I exclaime as I examine my face way much closely 'Hey, that's me you're talking about you know! try not sound so hurtful' my subcouncious explains giving me an awful headache. 'What had happened to me; get out of my head!'" ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Princess Bethany Redrose, Daughter of the Most terrifying King that has ever existed, or well, at least that's what they named him. Beast, that was his name, and now everyone just call him King. She's special, not because she's a princess, but because she has a spell that's covering all her true form and magic. Since she was born with a spell that doesn't let her love, she has to find a way for breaking it without getting someone hurt... or more else, herself. With fear, strength, laughs and tears, Bethany will discover more things about her past that she never imagined, but could she have her happily ever after she desires? or would her answers destroy her completely. And most important, would someone ever love the daughter of a Beast?
