What happened after the Ball? 

Cinderella got her happily ever after while her step-sisters got what they deserved. 

Two years after that night, Drusilla Tremaine's life has turned upside down. Their fortune had dwindled to nothing, Anastasia had left, their house was crumbling, and her mother saw none of it. 
With the help of her first friend, Drusilla sets off into the world, hoping to get away from everything related to her old life and her mistakes. She finds herself in a new city with no job and no one. 
With her newfound freedom, Drusilla does her best to keep her head down and try to redeem her past.
Life has other plans. 


With the help of her new friends and a reluctant partnership with an eccentric man, Drusilla could find her own happily ever after. Or, like her mother always said, they would prove to be her downfall.

Heartless by Layanabella

My body trembled, but not from the cold. "You frighten me." His brow twitched, eyes darting around the features of my face. "Frighten, or excite?" His gaze dropped to my mouth. "Which is it, Miss Young?" ❆ Once upon a time in a dying village, there lived a girl who dreamed of a life free of fear and death. She yearned for a world not ruled by the darkness and the demons awaiting her inside it... For nearly eighteen years, Adaira Young has been able to hide from the monsters that plague her small village. Every year in Kinnot, a name must be drawn to be offered to the beasts from the mountains. Once they are sacrificed and disappear through the gates, they are never seen again. When Adaira's world comes crashing down around her and she finds herself on the outside of those very walls, Adaira comes face to face with the monster she's been cowering from all her life: A terrifying man named Beast. Whisked away to his palace in the icy mountains, Adaira struggles to adjust to her new life and fight the dangerous feelings of attraction growing inside her. But as the days grow colder and their relationship grows stronger, a deadly secret from Beast's past threatens to shatter everything. To live, he needs the one thing Adaira has to die for in order to love her: her heart. **A Beauty and the Beast retelling🖤♥️ Updates randomly, but mainly Friday's ⚠️❗️This book includes material that may be graphic to some viewers.

Sinful Cinderella (Dark Fairy Tale Queens - Book 1) by AnitaValle

I'm not who they think I am. A docile girl who meekly obeys her stepmother and stepsisters. Some kind of sick angel who cheerfully bears their mistreatment. That's what I WANT them to think. Because then they won't suspect what I'm really up to. The ball, the prince - it's all part of my plan to come out on top. Stepmother and her demented daughters will pay for every floor I have scoured, every sneer I have borne. They don't know about the white magic, how I use it to enhance myself. They can't see that my heart is black as midnight, rotten as a poisoned apple. They're about to find out.

The Tragic Tale of Cinderella by JeremyCroston

All fairy tales are supposed to end happily ever after, no? What if they were just lies? The truths behind those tales could be as black as the night for all you know. Maybe you think I'm just a skeptic, a hardened old man who just doesn't see the magic anymore. Well, you'd be right on both accounts. Don't let me dampen your love of stories and how the world works. But for those of you who seek the truth and want to know more, I invite you to listen to my tale. For I was there when that awful woman Lady Tremaine took control of my former lord's manor. I saw the depths of evil that lived inside her. And most importantly, I saw the girl you call Cinderella change from beloved daughter to fierce warrior. Before there was princes and love, there was heartbreak and war. My name's John and I was just a stable boy, but I was there and was able to chronicle The Tragic Tale of Cinderella.

Celestial Bodies: Of Runts and Lycans by Myx_Writes

A rogue and a runt. A born and raised alpha. A boy with a secret. And a man bent on changing fate, no matter who gets harmed. ~ "Have you contacted the council about the rogues?" "Yes and they say that rogues don't band together in mass amounts." "Did you tell them about the lack of scents?" I roll my eyes at his question. "Of course I did." "And?" "And they think there's a witch out there causing havoc for the rogues," I scoff. "They said that only a witch could hide a wolf's scent but I can't seem to think of what witch would be out there doing silly experiments that won't benefit them. They'd be better off working with a pack if they had any interest there at all." "I get where they're coming from but this is mass reports across the country," he says pointing to the map. "I've been on the phone with packs all over the country having the same issues. We seem to have a higher concentration as of late," he furrows his brows. "Other packs have been having decreases of these rogues?" He nods. "This past week alone we've had six sightings and it's only Thursday." I feel tension rise behind my eyes as the realization hit me.

Chasing Tail [Rᴇᴀᴅᴇʀ x Sʜɪꜰᴛᴇʀs Rᴏᴍᴀɴᴄᴇ] by ali_mali_baby

𝐷𝑜𝑛'𝑡 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑘𝑛𝑜𝑤 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑎 𝑐𝑎𝑡 𝑙𝑖𝑘𝑒𝑠 𝑡𝑜 𝑝𝑙𝑎𝑦 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑓𝑜𝑜𝑑? ~~~ It starts with adopting two strays into your house-a sweet golden retriever and a black cat with an aloof attitude and a heart of gold. You never expected where it would end. [This is a reader insert romance. All characters are 18+ and there is (slightly kinky) smut. The love interests have *light* yandere vibes. Consider all the warnings that comes with: stalking, obsessive/possessive behavior, violence, etc.] ~~~ You risk a glance over your shoulder and catch a flash of brown fur between the trees. You're a strong runner. You ran track in high school. But you're no match for a born hunter in the woods. The wolf pounces on you, throwing you to the ground. He rolls with you, protecting your body from the thorny underbrush. You can feel his body shifting around you. Thick fur becomes burning-hot skin at your back, and paws turn into hands that cage you in and pull you close. Before you know it, he's got you pinned against a tree while his bare chest presses against your back. He traps both your wrists easily in one hand above your head. "Caught you, my mate." Then he sinks his teeth into the base of your neck.

Forgotten by crystalbooks24

//He had my hands pinned tightly above my head as I squirmed beneath him. The blade twisting between his fingers. He held it up to my throat. I was afraid but refused to show it. "Hurt me." I said between gritted teeth. He just gave me a sorrowful glance before driving the dagger into my flesh.// This is no story of love and happiness. This is a story of death and destruction. One of a man and woman who met one night and not only changed the lives of themselves, but the lives of a whole world of people. One was fire and one was water. They were perfectly balanced. Until one night when the sun fell just below the tip of the tallest castle, the balance faltered, and all hell broke loose. Fire on fire. This is no memorable story that was told on for generations after. No. This is a story of the forgotten. ------------------------------------------- The prince and princess are forced to marry out of their fathers hatred for one another. Yet, there's a falter to the plan and murder gets involved. Will the two be able to put aside years of pent up hatred, or will love conquer all? #2 in tragiclovestory Socials: @0fficialcrystalwebb on tiktok
