beast curse darkfairytale darkforest fantasy king romance royalty witch

Beauty of day and beauty of night, one a royal with cursed blood, the other born with enchanting looks. 

What happens when a tale as old as time throws the rose petals away to make use of the thorns born from within? Sometimes a curse to one may be a blessing to another.

But not always.

*                       *                   *                    *

He watched. He waited. He knew the expression on her face well, recognized it on every other, but most of all it was the gleam that gave them all away. The gleam of promised luxurious strolls, fresh roses on silken sheets and sweet words. He was good at the last one, he had the sweetest of teeth.

"My Prince," She began, interrupting his thoughts. "I-I must confess to something. Something I have not said out loud for fear that I may not mean it but the truth seems to want to smother me for my silence."

"Oh." He stilled and gave her his full attention, watching her shoulders straighten and her head lift as determination filled her frame.

"I am in love with you, my Prince."

She held her breath, peering at him anxiously, awaiting his joyful words. Perhaps even in excitement to see the magic take place with her declaration of love now in the very air he breathed. Slowly he reached for the glass, being careful not to shatter the delicate frame. Glancing down at the red wine he moved it, watched it swirl and spin.

"You are to say you are in love with this beast?" He whispered softly, the velvet voice reaching her like a lovers touch.

"I am."

"I repeat myself, Belle. You are in love with this beast?" She blinked and with a perplexed look, nodded.

"I am." 

With a slow shake of his head he sat the wine down, never looking away from it and then those words, as she had hoped to see, sparked magic.

Before her eyes he turned into something edged, beautiful, sinful and terrifyingly unexpected. His eyes flicked up to meet hers. His next words were snarled out in a scathing tone.

"The Devil's Bride" by EuphoriaInk30

In a world where fear reigned, there was a king no one dared to defy. He was known by many names-The Cursed King, The Blood Monarch, The Devil in Flesh. No one spoke his true name unless they wished to die a brutal death. He ruled not just a kingdom, but the entire world. With powers no human could comprehend, he bent the laws of life and death to his will. Immortal. Unstoppable. Cruel. It was said that meeting his gaze meant courting death. His orders were absolute-disobedience was a crime punishable by unimaginable agony. He showed no mercy. No kindness. No love. Until her. The day he saw her, everything changed. A girl with haunted eyes and trembling hands-a girl who had known nothing but pain. She did not speak, did not fight. She bowed her head like everyone else, afraid of what he might do. But something in her cracked the unyielding armor of the most merciless king to ever live. Without a second thought, he pointed to her and spoke a command that would bind her to him forever. "Marry her." No one dared question him. Not even her. Because she knew refusing him meant death. But there was one truth the king did not care about-only the woman who became his wife had the power to kill him. And yet, he still chose her. Reached # 1 in fatedlove #1 in magic and mystery And the girl who had spent her life craving love... found it in the most dangerous man alive.

~HEARTS & FANGS~ by OmaPhinaPhire

||-Ongoing-|| 'I hate you! I hate you! I'll never be the wife that you deserve!' 'I do not want the wife that I deserve Cassiopeia because it is you that I want.' 'Then,' she hesitated for only a moment, 'I'll never be a wife still yet yours!' she promised him. 'Say that again,' he told her in a hard angry voice, 'and face the rowen,' he dared her. Despite the threat, she climbed out of bed and went to him. She tilted her head to look challengingly at him with her sharp green tear stained eyes. 'I will never be a wife much less yours,' she repeated in a terminal raspy but rather confident voice. He stared at her for a long time, internally simmering. The tension in the bedroom thickened greatly. Silence reigned as their stare down intensified. All in the room stood in trepidation, awaiting his eppy. 'Everyone,' he ordered in a calm yet jussive voice that betrayed the extremity of his anger. 'Out!' he finished. They all festinated out, skedaddling away as quickly as they could before anyone of them suffered from transfer of aggression. And when the door closed with a small click sound behind them, he drew her to him unexpectedly. 'You are mine,' he simply told her with surety before he lipped her. --- 🌫 She knew nothing, except that she wanted out, away from him-the beast. She knew not what she wanted, especially with a damaged head and fragmented memories. But, she just knew that she wanted nothing -absolutely nothing- to do with the monster that always left her in perplexity. --- 🌫 He wasn't what she thought he was. He was what she would never dream to think. He was a part of her and she was a part of him. He would never let her go. She must be there, with him, under his spell, wrapped around his thumb lest everything would go wrong. And if it did, he was the only person who could try, mean try to put it back in place. For with her, nothing wrong could ever be right. --- #3 in Royal love #3 in Satisfying #4 in Fated lov

Once Upon A Time by Nighteyesnoori

#1 in millionaire #1 in Cinderella 💐🌸 Once upon a time in the land of Lahyana, wait scratch that, my story doesn't start like one of those clichéd fairytale even when it is very much like those clichéd fairytales. How should I start now? Well I will start from the beginning *speaks in a mysterious voice* a cold dark night in a stinky Alley I bumped to the most enfuriating person I have ever met, he was injured and me being the good old me decided to help him. Turns out he's the Only Prince of our country and then I bumped into him again and again *sighs I know one of those clichéd fairytale moment* Then I found out that I was destined to marry him because of some lousy promise made by our Ancestors *whispers it's gets excited from now*. My life changes from the oh so boring Willow woods who would rather read a book than do anything, to the Princess Willow Asheton. And as for me and Aaron I guess you'll find out how we fell for each other. once we hated each other and now we are 😳😳😳 let's just say we are inseparable. He pulled me indefinitely close to him and leaned, we were millimeters apart yet he didn't closed the gap between us as if he was afraid. I looked in his eyes and cupped his face in my hands, standing on my tiptoes kissed his lips lightly. it was nothing like I have ever experienced before, it was most beautiful feeling I have ever had. The kissed wasn't long just a small peck. We stared at each other, Aaron's hands tightly wrapped around me as if he was afraid to let go and mine caressing his Beautiful face. "Woah " Aaron said after few seconds causing me to blush, he chuckled which sent shivers down my spine. He leaned in and covered my lips with his. the second kiss was nothing like the first one, more urgent and needy making me want to melt in his arms as Aaron hungrily devoured my swollen lips. I grabbed his shoulder and hummed in the kiss causing him to growl in response making me feel dizzy but in a good way. *

" Y..yo..you are monster. H..how c..ca..can you kill him s..so..so brutally."she said with trembling lips and voice just above whisper His eyes blazed with an unholy light as he gazed at rose. "You think that was brutal?" he whispered, his voice dripping with malice. "You think snapping his neck like a twig was horrific? Wait... "wait until you see what I do to the next person who dares to touch you." Rose felt a wave of terror wash over her as his words conjured up images of unspeakable horrors. "I'll flay them alive," he hissed, his eyes glinting with sadistic pleasure. "I'll strip their skin from their bones, inch by inch, and make them scream for mercy. And when they're begging for death, I'll deny it to them. I'll keep them alive, trapped in a living hell of agony and terror." Rose felt like she was going to vomit, her mind reeling with the sheer horror of his words. "And you know why?" He spat, his face twisted in a snarl. "N..no, w..wh..why" rose asked with visible fear "Because you're mine. Because I own you, body and soul. And no one takes what's mine." " Only.mine .All. for .me" Rose was paralyzed with fear, her heart racing with terror. __________________________________________________ She is soft , he is cold She is kind , he is arrogant She is innocent , he is clever She is submissive , he is dominated she is an open book , and he is full of mystery He is a predetor and she is his prey does opposite attract everytime? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ∆ tropes ∆ Hidden truths Obsession Darkness Blackworld Grumpy ×sunshine

HIS BROKEN ROYAL BRIDE by MikiILY

The throne room was bathed in cold moonlight, its once-grand walls now bearing the scars of war. At its center stood a man no, a beast his broad frame wrapped in the weight of sins he could never atone for. His crimson eyes, filled with torment, bore into the delicate figure before him. She was fragile, like glass on the verge of shattering. Her silk saree clung to her trembling frame, the once-vibrant colors now muted beneath the weight of sorrow. She had loved him once, before his hands were stained with the blood of her people. "You should have never come back," he rasped, his voice hoarse with restrained agony. She lifted her gaze, tears pooling in her wide, sorrowful eyes. "I had no choice... You still hold my heart, even if you wish to break it." A bitter chuckle escaped his lips. "Your heart?" He took a step closer, his fingers twitching as if fighting the urge to touch her. "I am no longer the man you loved, Princess. I am nothing but a beast now one cursed to destroy everything he once held dear." Her lips quivered. "Then let me be the one thing you do not destroy." His chest tightened. The world had already stolen too much from him-his peace, his kingdom, his very soul. And now, she stood before him, offering him something he did not deserve. He reached out, rough fingers brushing against her soft cheek, but then he hesitated. If he held on, he would ruin her. If he let go, he would ruin himself. "You don't understand," he whispered, his voice breaking. "I was born to be a monster. And monsters do not get to love princesses." A tear slid down her cheek, and she placed her hand over his, her warmth searing into his cold skin. "Then let this monster love me, even if it destroys me." His eyes shut tight, a silent war raging within him. But deep down, he knew-she was already doomed the moment she stepped back into his arms. And yet, neither of them could let go. . . . . . #bts #btsimagine #royal #brokenlove #smut . . . .

A Deadly Love- Book Two by chloblla

There are worse things than death. ___ "What is wrong with you?" I seethed. She had my back against the wall, pinning me down so I couldn't move. She was much stronger than me, even when I used my strength to get out of her embrace. I held her gaze and I knew that she was gone. There wasn't an ounce of goodness left in her body. She laughed at my question. Of course, I knew what was wrong with her. But I have to find a way to get her back. "What is wrong with me? Ha, nothing sweetheart." she told me with a smile on her face. "I'm just having a little fun." "Yeah, and fun for you is killing innocents," I growled. "Oh, I hate to say this to you but they aren't all innocent." I finally broke free of her and I dropped her to the floor. I held her down with both arms while I was on top of her. All she did was give me a smile. An eerie smile that made a shiver run down my spine. "I should kill you for what you've done," I whispered. "I should make you pay." "Oh, but Sebastian, you won't," she said. "You know why? Because at the end of the day I'm still me, and you will never hurt me, will you?" I hated that she was right. I couldn't kill her. My mind told me that it would be the best to do it but my heart told me otherwise. I mentally cursed at myself for letting this happen to her. "Elora, I know you're still in there." I said. She was still on the ground, but she was not resisting which seemed odd. "She died a long time ago," she said finally. "Alongside her love for you." ___ Book Two in the "From Death to Life" Trilogy #13 in Bloodlust

Scarlet of love - played by destiny [ON HOLD] by Author_shri_vanshi

They say Rudrgadh is built on blood-every stone in its palace walls, every whisper in its corridors, soaked in the weight of ancient betrayals. I never thought I would be part of that story. I was born in silence, raised in shadows. My mother taught me grace, my father taught me how to run, and neither of them ever spoke of the fire that once burned behind their eyes. We moved often, never staying long in one place. I grew up believing we were just wanderers... until the night I danced under the moonlight, near the sacred waterfall-and he saw me. King Veer Pratap Singh. The man who ruled with steel in his veins and a storm in his eyes. I had only heard tales of him-ruthless, undefeated, the people's savior and the enemy's nightmare. But when our eyes met, I didn't see a king. I saw a man standing still for the first time in years. And in that stillness, something inside me shifted. I should have run. But fate is cruel, and hearts are foolish. When his marriage proposal arrived at my doorstep, my world tilted. My parents went pale. Secrets long buried clawed their way to the surface. I didn't understand why they were afraid-until I learned the truth. Veer is searching for his parents' killer. And the man he seeks... is my father. Now I stand at the edge of a life I never asked for-torn between a love I never meant to find and a truth I can no longer run from. If I marry him, I betray my blood. If I leave, I betray my heart. How do you love the man who wants to destroy your family? And when that man looks at you like you're his only peace... how do you not love him back?

"Marry me, Cassie. Fulfill the promise you made to me. Become the demon's bride." His voice was deep, laced with something ancient, something unbreakable. He stepped closer, his burning crimson eyes never leaving hers. Her breath hitched. Her heart pounded in her chest, fear and something unexplainable tangling together. "And if I refuse?" she whispered. A smirk curled on his lips, dark and knowing. "Then I will make you ready... but you will marry me." She wanted to call him insane, to tell him he had the wrong person. But the way he looked at her-like he had waited lifetimes just for this moment-shook her to her core. He spoke of promises she didn't remember, of a past she couldn't recall. Yet, something inside her ached at his words, a strange sense of déjà vu wrapping around her like a ghostly embrace. What happens when a demon claims you as his lost lover, swearing that you once vowed to marry him?

His Beauty & Her Beast by CrimsonKnight-

Legend says a beast like no other was sent from the depths of the underworld to conquer and destroy all life on earth... stories of the evil and monstrous creatures roamed throughout the lands. Tales were told to children about a dark forest that must never be ventured for the creatures within will devour whatever is in its sights ruthlessly. He was a beast but he was not cursed as one he was created as one. He could transform into a vicious monster; he had large wings that allowed him to sore through the sky along with incredible strength and speed that strikes fear and death into anyone before him. He stood nearly 7 feet tall with large rippling muscles making him appear larger and even more frightening in his beast form. He could transform from a beast to a human. He was feared. He had power. .... She was soft and gentle. She walked with grace and elegance. Her kindness would melt the heart of any evil and her beauty was like no other. She was the most gorgeous woman he had ever seen. And the beast wanted her. "P-please... don't hurt them" I shakingly stood in front of the petrified young children. "You do not worry about yourself?" He spoke, and his deep and dark voice sent shivers down my body. "Please they are just children they don't mean no harm" his eyes held adoration and something else. "What's your name...." "Elaine"
