Loving Merritt Forever by lovelycrowsong
76 parts Complete Mature
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.

❝ Let's find you a new home, shall we? ❞ •○• A cold Shifter General. A bloodthirsty Vampire Prince. A powerful Fae King. A mysterious protective werewolf Alpha. And a human girl. The question was - why were the strings of fate bringing them together? •○• 18 year old, sharp and vigilant Cara Arnel was one step away from slavery freedom and being sold. And being caught by the Shifter General of the Vampire Army was most certainly not a part of that plan. Nor was becoming a scullery maid or an assaulted slave in the Royal Palace instead of a blood bag or sex slave. But that was when things started to change. Tensions became high and fights broke out in the unstable supernatural world with the return of Lucifer's son: Killian after more than four centuries. Her visions started again. And a bit too many supernatural males were willing to protect her for no reason whatsoever. Turns out, Cara might not be as insignificant as she thought. Yet, she was undoubtedly human. And it seemed, she wasn't as well informed of her past as she thought. If her memories were the ones to be relied upon. At least.......the ones she had of this life. •○• Shortlisted for Wattpad India Awards 2021 (Please don't copy the story line. It's all mine. A figment of my imagination.

The Pack he's in, called Blue Sky Pack, he doesn't feel any acceptance. He's always being bullied by his supposed-family. 17 years of existence and yet nobody wants him to be recognized or even acknowledged. The kid has been through a lot of ups and downs in his life and nobody helped him. Nobody wants to help him. Until he meets his mate, the one and only Alpha. Cloud Alistair Lylson is the next Alpha in line of his own pack, Blue Sky Pack. Everyone can fall on his looks. Everyone knows him. Everyone knows that he's powerful. Being the next Alpha in line, his father used to tell him that he needs to grow up. Turning 18, the Goddess has chosen a mate for him and when that happens, it feels like his world is on the process of being destroyed since the Goddess has chosen a male mate for him, and not just a male, it's Kieran Lars Lockwood; the outcast. When Cloud rejects Kieran, Kieran feels like his heart is being stabbed and runs away; hoping to find an alternative way to heal his broken heart and a wish comes upon his mind; break the Law - The Forbidden Law - so he can also help himself as well as his mate from the agony. Forbidden Law; a conversion, from werewolf to human. With that in mind, Kieran would be human and his wolf would vanish like an air.
