NOTE: This story will be available as an actual published novel in the coming future. More updates for that on @/yyyeodang at instagram. This is here only to serve as a reminder of my journey as an author and the love i received here. This story is DISCONTINUED AND INCOMPLETE. i do NOT consent to anyone rewriting this or re-continuing this as a story of their own. if seen doing so, you WILL face legal action. this is MY hard work. the reason i have marked it as complete is that i do NOT wish anyone to recontinue or rewrite this book as their own. i hope you respect my decision of leaving it here as a memory, not a free public work to be re-written. thank you. Marriage. It was something I wasn't quite ready for. To devote my entire life to someone and build a family. Yet the circumstances pushed me into an alliance with the girl who could not even stand the sight of me. Everyone knew we weren't exactly fond of each other, yet here I am - dancing in the ballroom with her in my arms, while people watch us celebrating the news of the betrothal. And maybe, a very small part of me liked it this way. Her, in my arms looking at me, like I meant something to her. Cover by @lanadelgay09Complete

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.

Volunteers like Victoria Lorraine, a middle school history teacher, take an opportunity of a lifetime in a time travel journey to the 17th century.

What will come of the two in their new timeline? What will happen when their trust and love for each other become the battleground of the century? This is Victoria's first written novel, but one that has been developing over the years. Victoria has loved learning about the wonders of history, and how it has led us to where we are today. But there are always people who bring up "if-istory", which led Victoria to think about what could have happened if we had the power to not change the past but change another timeline's past. What would happen then? Including her love for the character Loki and his mischievous ways, Victoria has included Tom and some of his roguish character into her storyline of this futuristic historical novel.
