"My whole life was monochrome before I met him."
Zachariah was the prince of a large country that was notorious for its cruel leaders. Being the oldest son out of three siblings, the duties of king were pushed onto his almost incapable shoulders at an Indescribably young age.
He felt like a bird trapped in an indestructible cage of iron and silver, the monotones of life being all he sees before him, is he destined too become a king just like his father, and all the ones before him?
So what happens when a young, curly haired boy with eyes like gold stumbles into his life?
Or more like stumbles through his mother's favorite rose bush.
At that moment, he comes to one great realization.
This could either be Zachariah's biggest heartbreak or greatest love.
(On hold until summer.)

You keep running away, what will it take for you to stay? ---------------------------------- Jordan Royal, an outcast prince betrayed by his father and cast out of his kingdom, finds himself on the doorstep of his kingdom's enemy. Once the perfect heir-intelligent, brave, and adored-Jordan was raised to be feared and worshipped. However, the one factor his father failed to account for was the compassion he had for others. He wasn't a prince who thrived on the suffering of others' he was a boy who had suffered deep, abandoned by the very blood he believed once would protect him. Betrayed by his own flesh and blood, he learned early on that nobility didn't guarantee freedom, nor did power promise safety. Now, left to fend for himself, Jordan carries the scars that the world was never meant to see. When he ends up on the doorstep of Kai Stone's house, he doesn't expect much. But, what he receives is the chance to make his own choices. Kai is everything he was taught to hate-the freedom, the care-free attitude, the fire. Jordan finally learns what is truly feels like to live. Kai Stone, the son of a powerful mafia leader bent on opposing the king's tyrannical ambitions, was deep into planning a secret entry into the palace when a sudden commotion outside caught his attention.

He loathed their arrogance, their smug smiles after destroying the lives of innocent people. To him, they were the embodiment of everything corrupt in the world. Yet, the more time he spend with the prince, he couldn't help but question his beliefs. No matter what he said about royalty, Kai couldn't seem to hate him
Anarchy - Book Two of the Alpha Series- Man x Man
Once the unseen, forgotten son, Nicolas Matesscu now finds himself thrust into the unforgiving spotlight as the soon-to-be King of Dezna. But the weight of the crown is a mere shadow of the guilt that haunts him-the heavy burden of his family's sins and the accusations that threaten to destroy him. All eyes are now fixed on him, and he soon learns that being king is not about wielding power. It's about the survival of his people. Nicolas has inherited a throne soaked in blood and stained with insurmountable problems. An Elven army marches ever closer from the north, and the possibility of peace has long since evaporated. The kingdom's future rests on his shoulders-and he wasn't prepared for any of it. He never asked for this-he never wanted to bear the weight of a fractured kingdom. To survive, he must convince the lycan horde that he's worth sparing. In a world where weakness is a death sentence, he faces a brutal ultimatum: unite with the most unlikely allies or watch his kingdom-and everything he's ever known-be torn apart. Nicolas must rise from the shadows of his past to save his people. He must prove to his enemies and allies that he is not the broken prince they expect him to be. Survival will demand more than just political cunning. It will require strength from places he never imagined, alliances he never thought possible, and a future he never wanted but might have no choice but to accept. To unite a splintered kingdom and rise above his past mistakes, he must become the ruler no one ever believed he could be-or lose everything in the process.Complete

I usually don't write romance, but I want to get better at it, so here we go... About updates, I wish I could say I will be posting at least once a day but I know that won't be true because I'm currently editing my book that I am publishing this summer (2020) and this story is more of just a de-stressor (is that a word) so the grammar and writing, especially the tense (it will most likely flip between present and past tense, just pretend it is all the same) might not be perfect, but I just felt like writing it. I will publish at least once a week Now with that out of the way, I just wanna say, hope ya enjoy the story. Have a great day and keep being your amazing you!Complete
