My Fucked Up Fairytale by pinenutters

TEASER: "No fiancée of mine needs to learn how to fight." His breath flows upon the prickling skin of my neck. I close my eyes, involuntarily shuddering in response. "All you need to know how to do is satisfy me." "How exactly am I supposed to satisfy you?" The answer to such a question is obvious, yet, like the idiot I am, I still asked him. "Blood...and of course, other means." BLURB: When college student Cyra finds her life falling apart after a brutal breakup, she wishes for an escape-only to awaken in a realm filled with sword-wielding vampires, deadly elves, and more fantastical creatures. Unfortunately for Cyra, she's been chosen to marry a powerful vampire prince... and kill him. Trapped between survival and a dagger with a destiny, she must navigate a world where fairytales come soaked in blood, sarcasm, and forbidden attraction.

MxMxFxMxM "It's okay to quit, mami." Elliot whispered in my ear. Shivers shot down my back as I felt him move around me. I stared ahead, my heart beating wildly. The feeling of wooden pole lightly grazing my back. "He's right, honey. You can, we won't be mad." Vincent said. My eyes shot to his from across the mat. He stood there with his hands behind his back. I growled softly. I quickly turned and went to grab the pole but was stopped short when my body was slammed to the ground. "Mmm. Our angry little baby is getting quite frustrated." Close to my face was Sammy smirking at me. He had my body trapped under his. I felt desire and anger boil in me. "You guys don't play fair." I said softly. Sammy chuckled while he was doing that, I shot my knee up and hit his stomach. He yelped out and I quickly shot up. "Ha! I won." I said while doing a little dance. I felt a little kiss on my neck then my arms were being drawn back behind me. My eyes drooped a little as they continued down my neck. "Good job, little one. But what's going to stop you from me?" 𒊹︎𒊹︎𒊹︎ Arabella Davis is a orphan who can't remember anything from the time she is 10.

"Are you sure you're one of the girls? You seem like a spy to me. Are you spy, Arabella?" My name rolled of his tongue perfectly and I stood completely still as he took another step closer to me. "You know, it's my job to eliminate spies." "Eliminate me huh? I'd like to see you try." I was surprised by my response, just as much as he was, and he raised one of his perfectly shaped eyebrows at me. "Is that a challenge? I like a challenge." *** I never wanted any of the lives set out for me. Unfortunately in the new world where the monarchy has taken over, there was never a choice for a girl like me. At 18, I'm forced to leave the academy. It's a horrible place where young girls are groomed to become the perfect wives, and yet it's the only home I've ever know . Now I'll either become a human incubator, breeding children for the kingdom, or sold at auction to a man who would make me his wife and slave. Little did I know I would become a chosen one. Forced to compete in the coming-of-age competition to win the heart of the Prince and the crown. All were terrible fates, but only one included him. ___________________________________________ - completed - Mature sexual content Cover credits go to Devilishwritings

Runic Storm (ONC 2022) by KaraTales

It was supposed to be a quick job, in and out, no problems. Accidentally freeing a high profile prisoner on her way out and subsequently discovering an evil scheme, was not part of the plan. Suddenly, it's her own face that Kaia finds on the front of a wanted poster. Forced to work together, she and the fugitive are on the run until they find a way to figure out the big picture. But that is not her only worry. She needs to deal with the situation fast, or her overprotective twin will find out and come looking for her. And that is an even more frightening prospect than running from a villain who wants to see her dead. - A novel version of the story will be updated under "Runic Domination". If you are a new reader, refer to that version. - ONC 2022 Prompt: 69. I never wanted, or intended to become a bounty hunter, but my little sister had to go and get herself on a poster, WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE, didn't she? Now I've got to get to her first, because everyone else wants her dead.
