"I want to be safe but I'm starting to question if I really want it..."

Veronica O'Neil's life was turned completely upside down and in the weirdest way possible: Finding out that you are some lost magical princess in a world full of magic and  that you are being hunted by your own family?  Weird right?

Weird doesn't even begin to describe it. 

She is caught between an rock and hard place when Lucas is giving her all the attention but has secrets of his own and Orion is open but refuses to give her the attention he so badly wants to give.

There are things that were decided long before she was born and discovering them puts her in a tough position. It's hard when you have to choose between your royal duties and the duty to your heart.  But knowing that you have abilities that could possibly be dangerous for everyone you care for is what she fears the most.  

"I trust you...It's myself that I don't trust. You assume that I am in control but you have no idea of just exactly how out of control I can get. And being this close to you isn't helping. I'm the gun and you're the trigger that just got pulled..."

P.S. This book is also being Re-Written for the competition. The chapters will be marked 'EDITED'.

Our Secret To Keep. by ELShorthouse
29 parts Ongoing Mature
A delayed flight. A stranger at a hotel bar. A one night stand. Stranded in New York for an extra night than planned due to a delayed flight, I needed to find a way to keep myself occupied, and I soon found that something. It was easy enough when the handsome stranger introduced himself to me as Kade. It has been a while since I have had a hot one-night stand, and he reminds me how fun it can be. There are no questions, expectations or reasons to see one another again. What I don't expect is our night together to come around and bite me in the ass. When I arrive at a family dinner with my parents and two older sisters to celebrate my return home to Scotland, he is sitting right there with them. Not only is he my father's new business partner, but he is my sister's blind date set up by my parents. We pretend to be strangers because things would become complicated if we didn't. No one ever needs to know about what happened between us. My dad would freak out if he found out about us because he is overly protective of me as the youngest, and with the age gap between Kade and me, my father wouldn't approve. My relationship with my older sister is already strained; I don't need to make things worse between us. Even though he doesn't seem interested in her and he tries his best to show that it could still make all hell break lose. My sister hates losing. She always gets what she wants. I should stay away from him, but it is easier said than done with the tension and chemistry between us, and we struggle to fight against it. No matter what happens, it needs to be our secret to keep.

Not your average rejection story. Usually the boy does something stupid - and keeps being stupid - the girl forgives and forgets and gets pulled in by the mate bond. Ignoring all his transgressions because 'the bond said so'. Not this time, sometimes fate gets it wrong and sometimes you grow out of things; like love. Vivian Clark is a mostly normal girl, as normal as you can be when you're more than eccentric mother is the head of a coven of witches. Something that; according to her, is a long standing tradition and more people need their apothecary than Viv realizes. While Vivian practices magic and identifies as a witch, it's more of a religion than a lifestyle in her eyes. She doesn't know there are very real powers laying dormant in her bloodline, and very real creatures that not only lurk in the night but often lurk on her doorstep. Trevor Erikson; a hot shot jock, a playboy, and Mr. Popularity, he could have any girl he wants and often does. Going from one to another and enjoying every minute of it. Despite the fact that he's a werewolf and an alpha's son, he could care less about fated mates or finding a luna for his pack. Which he'll eventually take over at the end of the school year. He doesn't take it too well when his fated mate shows up unannounced, and he does what any asshole would do. He rejects her at first sight. How will the two manage with a rejection floating between them for the remainder of the school year? ************************************** A fast-paced romance with mature scenes, all based in a fantasy world. If that's your vibe this is your story to read. This is my second work and I had to get it out of my brain cause it's all I could think of while writing a completely different book, there will be slow updates.

When her mother reveals the ancient tradition of their kingdom, Adira's emotions spiral, pushing her toward a destiny she cannot escape. Now, she embarks on a perilous journey to the fourth continent-an uncharted land full of mysteries, dangers, and dark secrets. She isn't alone. With her are two loyal best friends, but the trio soon finds themselves caught up in a web of intrigue. Nine strangers, divided into secretive groups, are also heading to the continent, each with their own hidden motives.

Who can Adira trust in a world where loyalty is uncertain, and even the most familiar faces might hide dark secrets? In this world, magic is alive-but not in the ways you might expect. There are no werewolves or vampires here, but angels, mermaids, and half-human creatures walk among them. As Adira's journey unfolds, she will face not only external threats but also the turmoil within herself. The powers at play are strong, and so are the emotions-will she be able to balance it all, or will she succumb to the path her closest one chose years ago? -ˋˏ✄┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ 𝐂𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐬: Design by @yourFEATHERS | Background image from Pinterest I hope you enjoy this story!
