My life was one born in towers of gold with impenetrable windows. My life was one of nobility, aristocracy. Silver blood ran through my veins and it made me one of the Acier; a Princess of the Acier. Until those windows became ruptured. 

   All my life I have never had the chance to breathe outside the walls of my home; then I met him.

   I am a girl betrothed to one I do not love yet am surrounded by people who have managed to enter the crevices of my heart. I should have known that not even my golden windows could have protected me from my destiny. I should have known that my crown would cost me my security. I should have known that all along that the only solution to cure the world was to paint my hands in the blood of those who threatened to uproot any evil we had worked so hard to hide. 

  In that moment, I was no longer betrothed to anyone who held flesh or blood; I was betrothed to the cold steel of my sword and the promise I made to protect the lands until my dying breath.

                                                                 ❝ Best Rankings ❞

"I wish you were dead", she hissed at him as she broke the kiss. "Do it, kill me", he hissed back. She went for his throat, the lessons definitely helped but she was no match for him. "One day you'll be able to best me. Lucky for me that day isn't today." Ivy had wanted to claw his eyes out, "you're a monster." "So is everyone." "Not everyone kills seventeen guards." "You're right, only the strong kill in our world. Too bad we don't live in a fairytale." "Don't dare make me feel insane, it's insane, the world we live in!

They kissed urgently, Ivy removed her pants while he ripped her shirt from her body....

As a young business owner, creating poisons and potions, Ruby has her ideal life. But when the Prince suggests he leave her passion behind to become his wife, she grows a resentment towards the crown and its kingdom. And when her path crosses with none other than the North Pack Alpha, she can't help but feel worlds are colliding. She must make a choice between a cruel prince, a deadly poison, or a stranger that she can't help but feel holds her heart. β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’ He continues to stare down at me, and lowers his head. His lips meet mine and he closes his eyes. I stand, frozen. I can't move, or break away from him, he's still hugging me tightly against his chest. My arms are pinned to my sides by his. He breaks the kiss looking at me, and smiles. It's not his usual smile. It's cold and calculating. Perhaps I didn't think my plan through fully. "You can by my advisor, but only if you keep this a secret," he whispers into my ear. I nod silently, ignoring the tears that gather below my eyes. I stare straight ahead to see the Alpha I met earlier. His eyes are dark and I see him growl, although I don't hear it. I can't help but feel guilty. I need to go to him, to hug him. To feel his strong arms around me, protecting me. Rankings #78 in "woods" 10/15/19 #10 in "littleredridinghood" 09/15/19 #5 in "werewolflove" 10/13/19 #6 in "littlered" 09/14/19

(Completed) Two assassins were set to kill a girl. No questions asked. Just kill her and claim their prize. That was their mission. Except one of them was not supposed to visit Volney, the land of the dead and the other fall in love with a girl and totally forget about his mission to kill. For an heir who had dedicated her entire life for her kingdom, fate was not kind. Her sister should have returned home after her visit to her aunt's place. Her kingdom must have been safe, both terrestrial and by sea. But does anything ever goes planned? As a general, she must now decide. Kingdom or family? Suffice to say, slavery was the safest option for a bride. Hated by the king's daughter, she wonders what she had ever done in her life to deserve her hate. With her friend of fifteen years gone to join the rebellion, and without realising what it would cost her, she makes new friends. But would they keep her alive? Or would they sell her for their life? Friendships will be tested. Foes will become allies. Hunted will become the Hunter. And lover will become the betrayer. Not edited! Cover made by @Shadowsleek
