Lark felt his hands draw away the straps of her nightgown, and the soft cloth fell to the floor. She shivered in the cold of the room. Prince Aspen's eyes were a beautiful green, brightened by alcohol. His hands were tight as he led her to the bed. He had a tiny scar by his lip, close to the corner of his mouth. It was easy for her to focus on the thin, silvery line of skin, easier to let her mind cling to the mark than on anything around her or on Prince Aspen himself. He was strong. She wondered how his mistress felt about him spending the night with his wife.

She's A Villainess
A princess in a castle? Or a butcher in a crown? Hadley, the second daughter of the King and Queen of Laz-Isabel - a kingdom of magic and whispered spells - was no ordinary royal. Born of witches, she bloomed into power like a rose with thorns. On her eighteenth birthday, the castle gates opened wide. Music soared. Fireworks lit the sky. Nobles danced and commoners feasted. The kingdom rejoiced... not knowing doom was dressed in green dress. Among the guests was a handsome warlock, cloaked in charm and old magic. They said he was clever. They said he was strong. They said no beauty could undo him. But Hadley wasn't just beauty. She was ruin wrapped in silk. What happened that night? A kiss? A promise? A wedding? No. She slit his throat and smiled. Now, songs are sung of her smile - and prayers whispered in her shadow. For where the Princess walks, misfortune follows, trailing like a ghost in a bloody green gown. To break the curse entwined in her soul, she must bind her fate to a king - one damned by his own sins. He was older. Harsher. As wounded as he was dangerous. His touch burned, and his eyes... they saw through her. One forged by regret. One consumed by wrath. Together, they might rewrite fate - or bend his will to break the curse. Because Hadley was never meant to be the damsel. She was never meant to be the queen. She was meant to be the villainess.
Red's Wolves
Alera lost her mother early in life and was raised by a strict king for a father and the many nursemaids who crossed themselves before touching her. It wasn't until she was of marrying age that she learned why the people feared her. She was canny... like her forest mother. Canny and feared to be fae. The only person besides her father who didn't seem to fear her was the handsome stable boy. He knew what she was and didn't cross himself before letting his hands touch hers longer than needed for helping her to her mount. And on her 18th birthday, neither could deny the bond that dragged them together. But her father had her sold off to make an advantageous match with the neighboring king's sullen and cruel son. Even a kingdom over, the whispers of the canny princess the people feared as fae reached royal ears. But they thought to use her to their advantage...to put fear in their own people's hearts and make them bend the knee. Now with the kingdom at war with the prince she would have married, Alera must save the people who feared her from an unspeakable fate brought to their door by the sullen prince wielding a dark unknown power. -------------------- Cover by Tina Glasneck ©2022 M.Dalto Published to Wattpad 06.01.2022 Completed 03/30/2023Concluida

But when his mom sends him to St.Monsters High School, he finds that it's not easy to act like a monster. Not to mention wanting to blend in but having a secret that separates him from the rest of the world, both worlds of a monster and human. Having no way to handle it, Cassius must learn to accept himself. And what better way than from the president of the student council, Lilith. Lilith Zeta is heir to the land and power from her father's business. Perfect grades, beautiful, multitalentalness, however a spotting in the janitors closet changes her whole world when she meets Cassius. Potential Yandere X normal student in a monster world filled with secrets that flip 360 in a single second. 'Whether the secrets are dark or light. They can still change the course of history'- Unknown ----Excerpt from story---- Lilith repeated this question in her head many times. "H-how am I feeling? " she stuttered, and Cassius was shocked but he took that thought away. Lilith clenched her fist, she looked angry, and before she even knew it, she fully tuned into a wolf and pounced on him. Her teeth were snarling at Cassius, her salvia present in her teeth. He could smell, her dog-like breathe, and his heart was racing. He was pinned down by a mad, frustrated Lycan who seemed to be taking out her anger on him. A part of him was scared, terrified of this side of her, but the other felt as though it was understanding how much pressure she had to go through each day as though she was famous. Which, in a way, she was. Her beautiful white coat reflected some of the light of the dim bulb. Her eyes glowed more, and from up close, he could see traces of cuts and slight scares through her fur most near her neck and front legs. That same newly cut was red but instantly healed. She snarled and Cassius knew there was no getting out of thisConcluida
Saving Everest | The Royals
I rounded the corner to the hall, only to smack into something. "I'm so sorry," I apologized, reaching down to pick up a book that had fallen. My heart skipped a beat as I looked up, making eye contact with a pair of hazel eyes. "No worries," the boy replied, his voice rich and smooth, "Are you alright?" I nodded quickly, flashing a smile. I was too stunned to respond. Standing in front of me was none other than Prince Everest Dresden Macallister. "Who are you?" he asked, tilting his head curiously. "I'm Aspen," I replied, trying hard not to look away from his curious stare. "Dresden," he said, holding out his hand. I assumed he was going to shake mine, but instead he brought it to his lips, pressing a kiss against it. My breath caught in my throat, my cheeks burning. "Nice to meet you," I managed to say without stuttering. "My apologies, but I have to hurry. Miss Elizabeth has asked me to retrieve something." He nodded, stepping aside as I hurried into the room. I stood there, taking a deep breath to calm myself. Once I was done, I spotted the prince sitting by the window, the book that I'd picked up in his hand. I ducked my head and made a beeline to the door. "Aspen," he called, making me freeze. "Yes?"

"Come here" he said motioning for me to step closer. I knew that I had to obey his every word. It was just that my body decided not to move. "I will not repeat this again. Come. Here. Now!" he commanded me this time. That's when my legs decided to wobble themselves towards my biggest nightmare. I stopped when I was about a feet away from where he was sitting. I had to keep my hands together to prevent them from shaking too much. To make things worse, there was only this dead silence that surrounded us. Then, before I could even prosses what was happening, he grabbed my hand and brought my wrist up to his lips. I whimpered, waiting for the pain to come. "You have every right to fear me. This is going to be painful." Without warning, I felt an excruciating pain all over my body.

On the second jump, Claire's bad leg gave way and she felt herself tumbling forward. A cry of surprise escaped her and Claire was certain she was about to topple off the side of the train. Alek, however, moved quickly, catching her mid-fall and keeping her upright, and alive. Claire lifted her eyes to meet his which were wide with alarm. The expression was fleeting, lasting for only a moment before it was replaced by a frown. "You could have fallen," he said pointedly. "I know," Claire breathed, finding her thoughts drifting to the strong arm wrapped around her waist. A flush rose to her cheeks and she was grateful for the biting wind that masked her reaction. "Thank you." "You need to be more careful," he continued, his eyes locked on hers, bright and haunting in the silver glow of the moon overhead. "I will," Claire assured him, her heart skipping in her chest.
