XRenia stared at her mom in confusion. "Why are you showing me this n. .ow? Grandfather has finally found someone he wants me to marry hasn't he? Who is he and what's his name?"

The smile on her mother's face faded and she strode over to the couch by the Terrace and sat down. "Come sit with me sweetie."
XRenia sighed she knew this day would come eventually, her grandfather always said he was going to arrange her marriage no matter how adamantly her father told her he wouldn't let him, she knew his father would have the final say. She moseyed on over to her mother and plopped down. Truth be told she didn't expect it to be all that bad, her father was the greatest man to ever live and her grandfather the second. Both of them loved her like she was their prized jewel if they had finally agreed on a man, he must be one fine specimen of a human being.
Her mother put her arm around her. "Sweetie it pains me to tell you this but on your eighteenth birthday you're going to be officially disowned and banished to the continent of Thaxium where you'll need to start your own kingdom."

The aliens came here for one thing, and one thing only.... Females. ( This story is only available through inkitt or galatea!!!) (some read events may apply) (check update chapter for more details!) Humans believed they were the only intelligent life to exist... that it was impossible for another species to evolve in a way where they could prevail in something as great as space travel. humans believed they were supposed to be the most technologically advanced species and the alpha predators... They were wrong. The Xandisians evolved in ways humans never could have imagined, they are natural-born killers with phenomenal strength and agility. Their kind never went through the same devolution as humans, they never lost their natural instincts to hunt, kill, or breed. With their limitless potential and monstrous strength, they faced few threats and could survive almost any threat that befall their species, almost. After an incurable sickness washes over the planet of xanadis, the majority of the female, young and elderly, and vulnerable population is all but wiped out, leaving a small portion of the male population to face the threat of extinction. With no choice but to look to the stars for a means to save their kind from complete annihilation, the xandisians set out to find a race compatible with their own. after many years and countless failed expeditions, they finally find a species that matches their base DNA on a planet called Earth. The only issue now is how humans will react. (Book 2 LTF series) (CAN be read as a stand alone, but not recommended for nostalgia reasons~) (ps this is UNEDITED, grammar and spelling mistakes will ensue!)

THE ROYALS by shabzy6

Sir Eric takes a deep breath and mutters as his demeanor radiates confidence. He knew that what he was about to say would change everything. He took a sip of the wine presented to him and continued, "As agreed several years ago, your daughter will be sent to my son's mansion in a week for the marriage alliance between our families. But here's the catch - I want the wedding to be held in just a few days!" The room fell silent as everyone absorbed Sir Eric's words. As they were both taken aback, but Sir Eric stood up nonchalantly, as though he hadn't just made a shocking announcement. His guard gave them a slight nod before departing with him, leaving them to grapple with the weight of his words. After his departure Thomas' wife glares at her husband, putting her hands on her waist on her hips in a disapproving manner, and speaks "It is with great concern that I express my disapproval of my daughter marrying him, Thomas. While it may seem natural for them to pair her up with their first son, Alex, might I remind you that my daughter's happiness comes first? If they wish to consider a union, I would be willing to entertain the idea if it were their legitimate child Andrew from the woman he married. However, it cannot be Alex, a child born to a waitress." Thomas shakes his head in disbelief, raising his hands in surrender. He states, "Lisa, I'm disappointed in you. It's not right to judge people based on their background. Their circumstances do not define their worth as human beings. Moreover, it's not your place to question how they ended up where they are now. You knew this day would come, didn't you?" She dismissively shrugs, like it's nothing, still insisting "I really won't let my daughter marry a bastard son Thomas" Turning towards a silhouette behind her, she smiles in triumph while suggesting, "Let your late brother's child marry him instead. Maya is still a part of our family," she declares with a triumphant smile.

"It is time for you to find a suitable lady to marry, don't you think?", my mother comments. Our feast has nearley started and I have already had enough. "Not something I occupy myself thinking about.", I comment, not sure if the told lie was for her, or for me. "Stark girl is looking for a husband. Talissa, if I remember correctly. I think she would be a good fit for you.", she persists and I chuckle, "A good fir for me yet you barely know her name." She opens her mouth to speak but I decide to put a stop to this annoying conversation, "A wife is something I do not need nor desire at this moment. If my dearest sister becomes queen my martial status will be the last thing to keep you up at night." My mother looks at me, "That won't happen, I assure you." Helaena touches mothers hand, taking her attention away from me. I tab my middle finger on the wooden table a few times, lifting my eye to find the person that has been, to my discomfort, taking a fraction of my mind lately. She's talking to Damon, a smile painted across her face as she rests her chin on her hand, carefully listening to him talking. It took some time before her eyes swiftly shifted from his face to mine and the realization of me looking made her drop her arm and straighten up in her seat. My attention made her visibly nervous. Few moments later she stood up and, without thinking, my body did the same. I start walking, making sure I don't loose her in the crowd. I am playing a dangerous game but it is something I simply can not seem to resist. ***** When Damon Targen finds an old broken amulet at his deceased grandmothers house, he asks his friend and co-worker Emma for help in finding more about it, but what they discover will lead them down the complicated path of his family tree and history, eventually getting them trapped in a world they know little about ...a world where war is about to break out and every small move you make decides if you will live or die.

The pairing is supposed to give you your perfect partner. A divinely chosen ordained pair. Most nobles forced into the pairing end up matched with a commoner and disowned by their families. Emmeline had come to accept this. The neglected youngest daughter of an overly ambitious father, she had accepted trading her life of luxury for a chance to finally be loved. However, everything goes wrong when she is paired, not with a commoner, but Cassius Marcellus. The nephew of the King and sole heir to the powerful Marcellus duchy, who was forced into the pairing to show royal support for the ancient ritual. Emmeline quickly throws Cassius and his parents' plans into chaos when she refuses to be quietly discarded. She was promised a perfect partner who would love her, and that is what is going to get. ................................ Cassius opened his eyes slowly, his nose still only inches from her's. "Emmie." He slowed her worrying, reaching up to press a rough palm to her cheek. "It's fine." She waited a few seconds to check he meant it, before kissing him again. She moved slowly, as if wanting permission as she lifted one hand up to rest on his good shoulder. He chuckled, meeting her lips and humming happily against her mouth. "I love you too." She finally admitted between kisses. Cassius paused, pulling back to see her fully. "You mean it?" Emmeline nodded, suddenly embarrassed. His answering smile was triumphant. "I will make you the happiest grand duchess this kingdom has ever seen." He vowed, kissed her hard before she could reply.

Nymeria Verne has always loved fantasy books. She loves the mystical lands, the fantastical creatures, the happy fairy tale endings...but what she loves most about them is that they are nothing like the real thing. Nymeria was raised in the land of faeries, constantly visiting the mortal realm with its urban cities but never understanding them. As a human living among fae, she has grown up always knowing that she is not pretty enough, not strong enough, not ever enough-for who could compare to the ethereal fae? She doesn't belong among either the faeries or the humans, and yet she loves her home and is desperate to find her place among the Seelie Courts. Despite the beauty and draw of the faerie world, there is a sinister undertone to it, and Nymeria knows that she can never be safe as a fragile human there. Not even her strenuous relationship with the faerie she refuses to call 'father' could help her. Her only chance of security and belonging is to one day come of age and become a faerie's bride, but at seventeen years old Nymeria refuses to accept marriage as the only option. In her search for her own path and independence, she stumbles across a prince of fae that offers all the solutions to her problems. She becomes his servant and agrees to spy for him in return for protection and a place in his court when he becomes High King. As a mortal, Nymeria can do something the fae can't: lie-a trait that the prince sees an opportunity in. Along the way, she meets a mortal boy, Collin, that was raised among fae just as she was. As her reluctant feelings for him grow, he has her questioning her choices and what it is she actually wants. Perhaps leaving the land of fae would be her better option... But her prince has no intention of letting her go.
