All I Need ✔️ by Chronically-Chaotic

"You're playing with fire Safania." "Good thing I don't burn." The last words he spoke before throwing me onto my bed sounded like a threat, but felt more like a promise. "You will." *** Don't get caught. Those are the three words Safania has lived by for the past five years. As a marked woman - easily identified by intricate bronze marks on her back and unpredictable special abilities - she has spent the past five years running from anyone who might exploit those abilities...especially the royal families who tortured marked women to build their empires. Starving, exhausted, and frozen, she collapses by the bank of a river just to wake up in her worst nightmare: the chambers of a prince. Prince Cassius is his father's first choice of his three brothers to ascend to the throne. He's smart, strategic, and stoic, unlike his corrupt and depraved brothers. There's just one problem: he has no interest in any of his proposed marital matches, and the King will only pick someone as his successor who he knows will carry on the family line. But once he meets Safania, he finds himself unable to imagine ruling the kingdom without her by his side. Can he convince her to trust him? *** Warning: this story contains mature and potentially triggering themes including domestic violence and sexual assault. Reader discretion is advised.

of fire, of water | ✔ by inkedofstars

In the kingdom of Aeziris, a rebellion is rising, but its reins are not in the hands of its citizens. With a fine string entwining her heart with that of its chieftain, Esméralda must walk a knife-edge while navigating her way through a palace of masks and smiles that stab, and maybe just not lose her all in the process. •°• Book #1 in 'of aether' duology. Esméralda Alby has been hammered two things her whole life. One, she is beneath her step-sister; two, to work like a machine. Despite being the first-born daughter of a wealthy merchant, she is never introduced as such, let alone be treated with its honor. After her mother's death, the word love, for her, resonated with the hollow of meaninglessness until she met him, a charismatic man with a persistent aura of mystery. Eirik, the blossom to her flower, the blue to her sky - he who brought spring to her wilting life. He isn't a king as his name suggested, but to her, he had become hers. But when her father's orchards get infected, drastically dwindling their income, Esméralda is forced to leave to the palace to work as a handmaiden for a lady of The Queen's Trial, an event hosted to choose a suitable wife for the Crown Prince of Aeziris. It was supposed to be a job freeing her from the chains of the past, but how long could she stay sane when Eirik stands in front of her as the only heir to the throne of Aeziris, as Crown Prince Aedric Emsworth? There might just be more to the rebellion than what met the eye.

A Sarcastic Criminal... Locked away in a maximum security prison on an artificial planet, the last thing Faelan expected was a prince to come begging for her help. She accepts his deal in exchange for her freedom, but even more unexpected are the feelings she comes to have for Prince Virion. In order to help him, she'll have to face her past and return to the world of betrayal that landed her behind bars, including the man that got her tortured and arrested. A Troubled Prince... Virion will do anything to bring his little sister home, including resorting to criminal means. Releasing Faelan is only the start, disobeying his king-and father-not even the half of it. He soon discovers, however, that Faelan isn't as bad as her reputation makes her out to be. True to her word, she helps him, but more than that she gives him hope. A Kidnapped Princess... As the trail takes them deeper into space where no one but criminals like Faelan have gone and survived, Virion will desperately need Faelan's skill and guidance. Can they find his sister in time or is it already too late?

Bloodlines & Betrayal by LaureenXIII

In the shadowed alleys of The Kingdom of Necrovia, rebellion festers, and secrets writhe like poison beneath the surface. Persephone Pantazis, the hidden daughter of one of the rebellion's most powerful families, steps into a fractured kingdom on the brink of collapse. Sheltered for years by her father's iron grip, she is desperate to prove herself and escape the chains of her family's suffocating legacy. But the rebel army offers no sanctuary. Among its ranks is Damian Diamandiz-mysterious, cocky, and the last person Persephone wants to trust. They are enemies, bound by hatred and rivalry, yet every encounter only seems to fuel the fire between them. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Sometimes," he murmured, his voice dark and taunting, "it's better to stay curious." A pause. Then, softer-hungrier. "But if you really want to know... I wanted you here. On my team. Close to me." His fingers barely grazed my side, a ghost of a touch. "To break you." Another pause, a smirk I could hear in his voice. "To touch you." His breath fanned against my skin, heat curling down my spine. "To fuck you." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- TRIGGER WARNING: (don't say that I didn't warn you) 1. Death and violence 2. Sexual assault (SA) 3.

Rebellion by Scottish_writer

Picked for the WattVamps February Showcase & now a Wattpad Dark Fantasy featured story! The Risen Series - Book 1 Rebellion I've been a cardholding member of the undead for centuries, torn away from the sun by a vampire with no care for human life. From the moment I opened my eyes to the night and had my first craving for blood, my Maker twisted and moulded me into exactly what he wanted; trapping me in his hold. Until one day he let me go. Content to live out eternity as no more than a shadow, I do my best to stay out of trouble. But trouble always had a way of finding me. During a hunt, I run into another vampire doing his best to go unnoticed; one so ancient the air around him reeks of power, and he claims he's just escaped imprisonment from the very council that used me to their own ends. Atanas demands I help him until he regains his strength so he can finish what he started a century ago, but I'm not sure that's all he wants from me. And while I'm no supporter of the council he seeks vengeance against, there are secrets that bind my life to theirs, and I know better than most that disloyalty means death. But in the shadows, a rebellion has been brewing, and I might be more important to both sides than I could ever have imagined.

To keep the peace she must follow the plan set out for her and marry the Prince, play her part and ask no questions. She could learn to love him and conform...or not, but most importantly, even if she grows to love him, can she trust him? And even if she trusts him, is his family really the ones in control? *This story is somewhat my own origin story of how the traditional werewolf stories came to be. In the beginning, there was one Alpha and one alone...and in the beginning, he created them all in his image.* *Takes place in Medieval Times*
