A dark retelling of Beauty and the Beast   

Annabelle Novacek has never much liked how people view her. She was a beautiful rose to be admired and protected. But she has always felt lanky and awkward; it was her two older sisters that were perfect. When her father comes home with news of a wealthy nobleman desiring her hand, the family are thrilled and she is whisked off to a small town outside of Paris.   

The journey doesn't go as anticipated and their carriage is attacked. Annabelle only just escapes with her life but she is flung out to desperately search for any sign of life. The local nobleman takes her in, but the longer she stays the more she hears about the dark secrets the village holds; a ravage beast that roams the forest and lies in wait for its next victim.  

Beauty fades but true kindness lasts an eternity.

Annabelle Aconite, the daughter of a Sheriff, always knew there was something off about her. From her strange vivid dreams of her being burned alive, dreams that would leave her chocking, smelling of smoke, and screaming as if the fire was real, To the dangerously attractive stranger who always seemed to pop up just in time to snap her back to reality. Anna's life was never normal and things just seem to get worst once she took in an injured wolf. Years have passed and Anna is determined to move forward, while hoping to leave the past exactly where it belongs, in the past. But that all changes once she sees him. Harry Styles, the bad-boy transfer, who is so bad that he and his friend were shipped out of the UK, and sent to finish school in the US. Anna knows she should stay away from Harry. Harry oozed trouble as if it was sweat, but there was something about him, something about his piercing green eyes, and his dark curls, that reminded her of someone, someone she couldn't quite put her finger on. After witnessing Harry in a fight, Anna's Brother, warns her to stay away from Harry, and tells her that he is nothing but trouble, but against Anna's better judgment she can't seem to stop. She can't deny the fact that she is attracted to him, and that there's something pulling her to him, like she's meant to be with him. But deep down Anna already knows that Harry Styles is nothing human. Animal attacks from years ago; the one's that triggered Anna's dreams, begin swarming the town and the only way Anna can save her town is to uncover what Harry and his friends are. But once you're wrapped into that world there's no turning back. Secrets are told, Identities will be revealed, But once the beast is Unleashed there is no telling what will happen...

A Loose Retelling of Beauty and the Beast A BEAUTIFUL WITCH. Bookish Myalah, the town beauty as well as its only living witch, has always wanted a way out. Now, especially, about a year after having her heart broken, she is more desperate than ever to leave. Not to mention her father's health, a problem that she cannot fix with her magic. But when an opportunity arises, Myalah is torn with indecision. Can she really set her ideals aside and leave her only home she's ever known for a possibility, and an unlikely one at that? A BEASTLY PRINCE. Luka, 'the Beast' and heir to Valennia's throne, is running out of time. As a young boy, a curse was cast upon him, one that could break his kingdom should it take full effect. He won't allow it to happen. Unfortunately, the one solution Luka was given, the one way to break the curse, his one way out, has a time limit-and he is nearly eighteen. Plus, the solution, to love and be loved, seems unattainable. Can he truly open his heart to someone else? More importantly, can he be enough for someone else's heart? Their worlds collide as their fights begin; Luka fighting against his family's will and himself for hope, for love, and for his kingdom, Myalah fighting the status quo and the jealous nobility for herself and her father.
