My Fucked Up Fairytale
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.

"What are you doing here?" I gulped at the hoarse voice. Instead of replying, I stared at Maria's corpse lying on the floor. "You smell so sweet." I hear him speak licking his lips.

Beneath the mask 🎭
Prologue The masquerade ball was not what it seemed. Beneath the laughter, beneath the glittering masks, there was a dark undercurrent-a game, a deadly one. No one knew it, not even Aisha, who had been swept into the mystery that night. She came in with a simple invitation, a promise of intrigue and excitement. But what lay ahead would change her life forever. As the night deepened, the games began. And once the game started, there was no turning back. No one could leave. No one could escape. Aisha's thoughts raced as she tried to make sense of the twisted messages, the cryptic riddles that seemed to lead her to something far more dangerous than she could ever imagine. The shadows in her life were closing in, and with every passing hour, they grew darker, more suffocating. Her husband, Yash, had no idea what was happening. He remained a figure of warmth in her cold, distant world, and now, she found herself entangled in a game that might just cost them both everything. The players were unknown. The rules, even more so. But one thing was certain-the game had just begun. And Aisha's choices would determine the fates of everyone involved. Would she unravel the mystery before it was too late? Or would the mask she wore for so long consume her entirely? In the shadows, someone watched. Someone waited. And in the end, no one would leave unscathedComplete
