There is more to life than having a husband and for me; it was to be better than my brother.
In my own way, I was just as good as him and although it never bothered me before, as I grew past what society considered to be the 'eligible' age for marriage I now longed for what almost every girl my age had; a husband.
Or maybe I was just bored?
Maybe I longed for the excitement that came from being married.
Life has a funny way of giving us exactly what we need; exactly when we need it.

My mother, the queen, has arranged for three princesses from our neighboring lands to court my brother. They were well educated, polite, dignified. Any one of them would make a fine wife.

Reflections End (Book 5) Now published so sample only
I never seemed to fit in. My life in Argonia was never as wonderful as I pretended it was. I loved my family, the quirks of my Argonian home and having magic. The problem is there has always been something missing. Watching the love between my sister Matilda and my best friend Xander always made me wish for my life bond. No girl has ever affected me the way Dad had told me I would recognise my life bond. It saddened me a lot of the time, though I pretended it didn't bother me. Was I stupid for wanting the kind of love my sister has had her whole life? I always felt alone, separate from everyone else, even my own twin. That was why I was happy to work on Earth with Dad. I had to escape a world that never seemed to understand me. I met her that day and I knew she was mine. I went to get my father a coffee and instead I found my life bond. The only problem is she's human.Complete
Two Unfound Love
I believe that each of us deserves a chance at love. And I know it sounds silly that there's someone out there for everyone but I believe in love. Now I know some say there's no such thing as true love, that it all ends in heartbreak and pain, but I think that's the beauty of it. To have something so perfect for such a short while, and then for it to disappear into nothing. It's an endless loop, never-ending, always on the move. You never know where it will take you. That's the thing about love, it's so beautiful and mysterious and magical. I believe we all deserve a chance at love because we deserve something magical. And for me, my magic started at a simple Ice Rink one cold night. Because your love is so whole, my missing pieces appear. Because your touch carries such passion, what was scarred becomes soft once more. Because you are steady and patient, my open wounds have time to seal and vanish. Perhaps that is why they say love is such magic, this gift from the universe, this sweet addition to the man I was born to find. For with my twin soul, the only other born in the same flame as I, we are able to bathe one other in warmth and light as easily as we breather, immune and oblivious to darkness. This story has mature parts. The mature parts have an asterisk.Complete
Best Siblings Forever (I Love You to Paris & Back)
Some people may think my story is really boring. Some people may think it's unnecessary. Some people think it's too sad or too happy. But in the end, it's not really about what others think. It's about what happened to me and my little sister. It's about the life-changing experiences that make us who we are. Honestly, it all comes down to love. And I'm not talking about a book that's filled with kissing and all that gross stuff. (yuck.) I'm talking about the kind of love that exists between families and siblings. The kind of love that never goes away and is always there when you need it. Nothing can ever erase that inseparable bond between me and my sister and, well, maybe my half-brother, too. But he's a whole different story. And it's hard sometimes, to keep that bond, when circumstances are threatening to pull you apart. I will do anything to get her back.Complete
Total Babe Magnet (Hunie Pop x Male Reader)
You weren't the best with ladies. Simply put, you couldn't talk to one even if it killed you. But when a Love Fairy ends up in your house, she was more than you bargained for. In a good way, sort of. I'm starting this a bit earlier than I thought. Guess you'll enjoy this much more earlier Thatpowerfuldude3 and everyone else who enjoys this.Complete
The Volition
When you reach a certain age, you expect milestones to pile on top of each other. It's suppose to be extraordinary but that's fantasy. Real life, people don't just get everything and sometimes when they do get everything it's not what they needed at all. So what's better? To have it all? Or to have nothing but a dream?Complete
