Not your typical fairytale romance....... I caught his eye from the other side of the faerie ring, bright green with a hint of blue like seafoam in the sun. I felt my body being pulled toward him, through the guests drunk on faerie wine, stumbling over my floor length gown. Looking into his eyes, the fiddle faded, the ballroom around us blurring into the firefly filled sky. He met me halfway, wrapping an arm around my hip to pull me flush against his body, my heartbeat racing at the contact. I felt his warm breath against my cheek, eyes gazing into mine. "My lady, you.." he murmured, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear, "you are the most exquisite goddess I have ever seen. And you will be the one to hold my true name." ........ Alvina is an outcast, hiding her true beauty and delaying her familial obligation of courting another. After agreeing with her best friend to start courting a male Faerie, she quickly gets thrown into the politics and manipulative ways of the Seelie Court. Once her true identity is revealed, will the love of her life want to kill her or marry her?

Part 1: Today was supposed to be my fairytale day. My perfect wedding day. I made my way to David, he took my hand in his, walking us closer to the long faced man who would be marrying us. The officiant started, greeting the room full of all my family, all of David's family. Going through the first reading easily. Giving their peace on the joy of marriages, it was bland, but acceptable. Moving along, the officiant announced in a loud voice, "If anyone here knows of any reason why these two should not be lawfully wed, let them speak now, or forever hold their peace." The officiant boomed over the crowd. I was caught off guard. This part was supposed to be just a formality, just a box to tick. No one was supposed to say anything. The world started to go in slow motion as Verity moved behind me a flicker in the corner of my vision. "David, I can't hide anymore." He said. As David's eyes went from me, to Verity, filled with concern. David looked over my head at Verity while he was holding my hands in his. I heard the crowd gasp, before everyone started to whisper. David dropped my hands. The whispers increased in intensity. Making the room sound like it was full of hissing snakes. David's attention wasn't anywhere near me. I looked up to see him looking over my head at my brother. With a look I had thought he had saved just for me, my heart breaking as my fairy tale became a nightmare. Part 2 also complete July 2023.
