You know that saying that goes like 'things don't always work out the way you planned'? Well I know that saying very well. It is the only thing that can explain what is happening and why my whole world has been flipped upside down.

I'm part of the revolution, I've always been. The king of our little land called Terrian is oppressive and crooked, making the rich richer and the poor poorer. Although he doesn't like using the word 'poor'. People like me are referred to as the 'unfortunate'.

As if luck had anything to do with our situation.

So how did I get here? How did I go from being the most wanted criminal in Terrian and supporting Jack in his effort to kill the royal family to a guest in that same exact royal family's castle?

The only answer I can find is the young prince who, despite his horrible father, gives me hope. Hope for a better life for the unfortunate. Hope for a better ruler. Hope, a thing I barely even remember feeling before.

But I can feel as well as see the revolution stirring in the streets right outside the castle. A revolution I helped create. A revolution that was planning on killing the only thing I had faith in anymore.

I couldn't let that happen. So let me tell you the story about how I, the notorious Kingdom Thief, got stuck in the middle of this war.

How The Prince fell in Love by Nadjasol
34 parts Complete Mature
"Get. inside. the. car. NOW" Asim threatened. I glared at him before looking at the huge guards. and then decided to run for my life. There was something fishy, and hell I will not give up until I know that I'm out of his sight and mind forever. Before I could even run a few feet away, I found myself being thrown on Asim's shoulder. "PUT ME DOWN!!" I screamed, now my senses grabbed the entire scene, and I didn't even know why didn't he want to let me go to my hotel peacefully. He pushed me inside his huge car, treating me no different than a sack of potatoes, I was about to kick him and then try to run again, I found the car being locked and the wheels started running on the cement. I sighed loudly when I found no use of kicking and screaming. "Why are you taking me in your car?!" I growled, pushing his hands away from me. He chuckled. "Because wives in Saudi Arabia, are supposed to go with their husbands to their home!" ------------------------------------------------------------- Normality was never an aspect in a Royal's life. Asim, the fucked up Prince of Saudi Arabia, wasn't your normal Prince. All was kind of normal until he get's stuck in the hardest situation he's ever faced; Either marry the girl his family adores, and himself hate or stop fooling around. But he decided to do neither. He married another girl that he didn't even know, like always, he saw an oppertunity and took it for granted. Malak, however, isn't an easy girl. She will make him hell bent on divorcing her, but when they face the music, they find out that if they don't stick together against the lie he created, they will eventually get in more troubles; Either they fake adoration or Malak gets thrown in a cell for something she didn't do, and he ends up tied down with a snob of a girl. Of course, they stick together. Love always a puzzle becomes a lego they shape in whatever they wanted. It's the lego of the story of the fucked up royalty and his life changing lie-girl.
The Wish of a Broken Heart by LovelyLotus84
78 parts Ongoing
They say, "Be careful what you wish for." They say, "There's truth to every story." They say, "Karma's a B***h." A heart's wish is a powerful thing. But magic doesn't exist. Or so I thought. Now, a troll has found me. ************* Cara I can't... It hurts... Why? Am I not good enough? Not pretty enough? What did I do to be betrayed like this? I feel numb except for the gaping hole in my chest. The darkness starts creeping in. I wish... Heavens how I wish... Friday June 13th I don't know when, how, or why I ended up where I am, but here I am. As insane as it sounds, I am no longer on earth. I think. Maybe I'm dead. Or maybe I'm in a coma! One where I can feel a hell of a lot of pain and new scents are being created? Maybe, just maybe, I should have listened to Grandmother's crazy stories of magic in our blood and being careful what we wish for. They don't sound so crazy anymore. All I know is I'm on the ground, can't move, staring up at an impossibly blue sky through broken branches of trees I've never seen before. That's saying a lot. Botany is my favorite hobby. I think I have internal bleeding from falling through the three-story tall trees like a pinball. My only regrets are knowing my Mum will be in a panic, won't quit searching, and my sweet American Pit Bull Terrier, Nimuë, fell through with me. ************* Tavirian Our laws are clear. If we find any creature wounded past the point of healing, we kill them. It's a mercy. We've gotten a reputation for being ruthless and cannibalistic because of it. Hundreds of years ago, perhaps, but not anymore. I'm still a monster. I'm on my ancestral pilgrimage to present the spirits with my potential brides. I'm not thrilled with my options. My mate is out there, but the elders are pushing me to take one of our Tribe. When we come across a nearly dead, tiny human and her creature, I can't kill them. Especially now. I can use the pilgrimage to save them for now, but I'll need help.

"You are mine and belong to no one else" he sneered in my face "You're wrong" I mumbled turning my head away "You are my toy and I use you when I want" he smirked "But you-I-I'm your mate! You're supposed to love me and care for me not fuck around with other girls and have me whenever you want!" I screamed. His smirk fell and was replaced by a scowl. He lifted his hand and I flinched back awaiting the slap. But all I heard was a growl and a grunt of pain. I opened my eyes and there he was. The man I felt an indescribable connection to. It wasn't until he turned to me, his golden eyes meeting my teal ones that I realised what connection I held with him. Mate! My wolf howled Another one!? I thought to myself, gasping Serenity Harper is a werewolf, but she's not just any werewolf. She's the mate to the alpha of the second strongest pack in the world. She's an extremely rare silver wolf and she's super kind. But her life isn't perfect. It's far from it actually.

Her own mate refuses to announce that she is his mate and even went through the trouble of ordering her to keep her mouth shut about it! But that's not even the worst of it. Her mate abuses and rapes her repeatedly. You would think after all her suffering she would crack and kill herself... and she was going to... until she meets the mysterious Xander. He's alpha to the strongest pack in the world and a good natured leader. What is the connection Serenity feels between the two. Its that of a mate bond only slightly stronger. So what happens when everything she ever knew was a lie and she finds love elsewhere. But not far after love do you find betrayals... {SEQUEL: The Beautiful Killer}
Rebellion by mistyskeleton
8 parts Complete Mature
I am a Rebel, they say. They're right. It all started when I was a young girl, my parents died in a fire, started by the King of our land. I was only 6 years of age, and I was left with a burn tracing up my arm and onto my collarbone. I was taken in by a woman I called 'Stepmother'. The King's actions caused my life, he's caused so much death. At least half the village has suffered because of him. I now fight against the King, and his daughter, I'm now a leader. There are so many others whom he has wronged. We used to be small group, but now we've grown in numbers. Millicent (though we call her Maleficent on accident) the Dragon Sorceress, Peter Pan the boy who can fly, Killian Hook the Pirate, Red Riding Hood the Wolf Slayer and Animal Tamer, Hansel and Gretel the Witch Hunters, Rumplestiltskin the Wizard, Blue the Fairy, Maethranal the Elven Queen, Jack the Giant Killer, Gothel the Witch, Merida the Archer, and Banshee, are the original people in our group who aren't dead. Gothel was being hunted by Hansel and Gretel at the time I met all three of them. Merida was adopted by Maethranal and trained as an Elven archer. Blue and Banshee are related by blood. Peter and Killian were enemies, but then banded together to stop Rumpelstiltskin, who later agreed to work with me. I love them like family, especially since my seven friends were killed. I miss them so much. They were my first friends, and helped me start this... rebel group. My husband contributed just as much as they did, and had the same fate. Eight people dead in one tiny little raid. I killed my stepmother, and use her riches to buy weapons for us all. We now hide in an abandoned castle in the middle of the dark forest, called 'The Red Tower', and is shrouded in fog and mist. Nobody would dare to look for us here because of all the dark creatures that guard the areas around. Red tames them all and converts them to our cause. 'Who am I?' you ask? Well, you may know me My name is Snow White

The Reckless - SAMPLE

7 parts Complete

PUBLISHED Hence I am taken by the royal family who wants me dead most in the world, generally called "The Reckless" because of their stupid choices. I was a freak child, but I wasn't a freak until everyone else like me was brutally killed. No one really knew who I was, and that's how I intended for it to stay until I was caught trying to steal from the most prolific royal family in documented history, also one of the most hated royal families. It was especially terrible for me; not only was I the second most notorious criminal in Southern Hilton (my partner was the first), I was the girl people had scoured two countries for and given up on finding. Oh, and the whole image I had of the family that had destroyed mine was about to be forever changed. # Completed Awkwardly fits into fantasy, science fiction, and romance, so please just bear with me on the genre;)
