A modern retelling of another classic tale, my second, more modern AU of a Disney movie/fairytale, but it WILL still be in France.
Will include:
LGBTQ+ Themes such as a transgender Beast, so if you are a homophobe, I suggest staying away from this book, or any books involving the LGBTQ in general
Mentions of homophobia, abuse and sexual assault so I might have to mark this as mature in the future
Autism, ADHD and other mental disorders
READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Angela, a girl from Paris, moved into a small town elsewhere in France. She wanted nothing more than to leave the town where everything and everyone stayed the same. She wanted to meet someone new, find love, and get away from the man who constantly pursued her, trying to win her heart despite her always saying no. One day, her wish comes true.
In an abandoned castle in the woods, an 18 year old was hiding from the town. Reanna and everyone else in the castle she had hosted a party in were cursed over 300 years ago, that curse carried over to the town, and the time to lift the curse was running out. Her, the guests and the town were all cursed to stay the same ages forever, and the townsfolk forgot who the guests and Reanna all were. But the guests remembered, and so did Reanna. The guests were all transformed into inanimate objects that fit the castle. Reanna, on the other hand, would transform from a human to another creature from night until dawn unless she found someone to love her not for her beauty, not discriminate against her, but love her for who she is. She needed to find that someone, or she would never break her dreaded curse and would become the Beast forever.
Luckily, love was on the brink of blooming, but would it come soon enough?
BOOK #3
He's like a storm-unpredictable and dangerous.
I knew he was a sick bastard when he smiled after I hit him the first time.
Annoying and obsessive, that's what he is.
I sensed it early on, but I didn't realize just how deep it ran until his obsession latched onto me.
Until I became the center of his world. Until he started flashing that smug, crooked smile my way.
But we can't... we're not supposed to be together.
We're polar opposites-existing in the same world, but never meant to collide.
Yet, he's ready to tear down everything for me.
But it's not that simple. My brothers are monsters. They'll kill him.
And still, he doesn't care.
----
Glasses perched on his nose, calm and collected.
Exactly my type.
I knew he was meant to be mine the moment our eyes locked, that intense gaze pulling me in.
And I'll have him, no matter what it takes-by any means necessary, even if it costs me everything. I want to hold him in my arms, kiss him until neither of us can breathe.
But why is it so hard? Why does the world push back so fiercely when it comes to him and me?
I want him. And I will have him.
