Title: Tidebound Hearts

Blurb:

In this dark and twisted fairytale mashup, two worlds collide when a rebellious princess and a restless mermaid strike a dangerous bargain.

Estella, a grieving royal suffocating under the rule of her cruel stepmother, is being forced into marriage with the cold and mysterious Prince of Dowerwere-a beastly man with secrets darker than the forest he rules. Desperate to escape her fate, she flees into a stormy sea with only her dog for company.

Beneath those very waves, Ariel longs for the world above. Trapped under the weight of duty and a fiercely protective father, she aches for connection-something more than saltwater and shadows.

When Estella's boat is caught in a supernatural whirlpool, Ariel saves her from drowning, and the two forge an unexpected bond. But lurking nearby is the cunning sea witch, Ursula, who offers them a sinister solution: they may switch lives for three days. Ariel must stop the forced marriage and find a deadly hidden poison. Estella must steal the heart-and crown-of the Sea Prince. If either fails, they'll become Ursula's eternal slaves.

Before they can refuse, the spell is cast. Now, Ariel wakes in a strange body with legs, in a kingdom that wants to use her. Estella awakens under the sea with a tail, pursued by cruel mermaids and trapped in a palace where nothing is as it seems.

With time running out, two girls must navigate treachery, power, and their own identities to rewrite their destinies-or drown in someone else's.

Perfect for fans of twisted fairytales, morally gray heroines, and enemies-to-allies tropes with a splash of myth and magic.

SEX AND SINS (The Alpha's Forbidden Claim)  by excel_arthur
24 parts Ongoing Mature
WARNING: MATURE CONTENT. RATED 18+. 90% STEAMY Selene never expected the thick darkness her life was about to plunge into. A young, new-adult wolf raised under the strict expectations of her aging father and the proud legacy of her ancestors, she's lived by every rule-rules meant to keep her from losing to the rival dynasty threatening to claim the throne from her family, the prestigious Ravencrofts. But the one person she thought would protect her shatters her instead. Her father's cold, public humiliation cuts deeper than any enemy's blade, all because of the one flaw she can't control-her heat. It surges too often, too powerfully, even outside mating season... and now it's a curse she can't escape. Broken and burning for release, Selene seeks reckless oblivion in the city's most dangerous den of demons-a forbidden club dripping with sin and shadow. There, she collides with a sinfully irresistible stranger drawn to the wild, unrestrained heat she can't hide. One night is all it takes for him to brand himself into her body and soul-a night of decadent, breathless pleasure she'll never forget. But when the haze fades, Selene learns the devastating truth. The man who consumed her? Her older sister's Alpha husband. He's already tasted her. He wants more. And he'll stop at nothing-no law, no loyalty, no taboo-to claim her completely. Now Selene is caught in a storm of forbidden desire, torn between resisting the man who could ruin her and surrendering to the sinful pull that could destroy them both. Because the only thing more dangerous than his touch... is how much she wants it.

THIS BOOK IS COMPLETED but it will be HEAVILY EDITED and have things added to it in the future. I wrote this book when I was much younger. I didn't expect it to reach this amount of popularity so I will devote my time to bettering it in the future. ------------------ Every year, in our village and the neighbouring villages, we encounter, on what is suppose to be the most divine and celebrated day of the year, a visit from the 'big bad wolf'. At least that's what the children call him. Adults like to call him "inhuman" or a "wild ravenous monster". However, the majority settle for "beast". No one knows why he ruins this specific day for us, the day we can celebrate our species: werewolves. Some despise him for taking this day from us and forcefully exchanging our merry and joyful laughs to screams of fear. When that specific day of the year approaches us, none of us are ever prepared for it. He always comes at night. We are told to lock our windows, draw our curtains and our doors. We are told to hide. There's one main rule that we have: don't look at him. Because if you do, no one knows what'll happen to you. Maybe that's the worse part, not knowing your fate. Not knowing the outcome of your foolish actions. If he comes roaming your streets, you have a right to be scared. Us "maidens" are always encouraged to hide ourselves the most, it's women that he supposedly wants more. However, I believe that that is a cautionary excuse. He'll take you, no matter how old or how young, no matter how innocent or how corrupt, no matter your gender, all it takes is a look. Either he looks at you, or you look at him, or you both exchange looks. Either way, his senses will pick you up, and you can't hide. It'll be too late. The amazing cover is by @-blackrogue. The amazing aesthetics in this book are by @mackreadsbooks24 Highest Rankings: 1st in #werewolflove 1st in #fierce 1st in #defiant 1st in #feminism 1st in #monster + many others
Your Blood: The Sweetest Delight by ash_creates727
56 parts Ongoing Mature
When their coup fails and his entire pack gets scattered, either slaughtered or taken as blood slaves, Luke must escape the vampire estate, rescue what's left of his pack, rebuilt their legacy and plot his revenge. And if that requires forging a desperate pact with a half-vampire, despite his deep-seated hatred towards his kind, then so be it. *** "Want me to slaughter those blood sucking bastards for you, wolfie? ~" That's how Luke, the wounded, furious next-in-line alpha of the Direwyn pack, met Alex: a dangerously handsome half-vampire imprisoned and starving in the deepest dungeons. Forced to rely on each other, and with revenge being the common aim, an uneasy deal is struck between the two. And all of a sudden, everything becomes three parts survival, two parts snark, and one very messy, combustible attraction. And as hidden truths begin to surface and long-buried secrets come to light, Luke and Alex must decide what matters more - vengeance, or the sinister force that threatens their very existence. Will they cling to their hatred for the Velmires, or will they be forced to rekindle their hostilities and face this new threat together... even if it means joining hands with the very monsters they once swore to destroy? *** If you're more of a finished-story reader (someone who loves reading 'completed' stories mostly, I don't know what that's called lol), then don't start reading now! Save it instead to a reading list, or simply your library! And read once I've uploaded all the chapters! It's mostly a comfort read, so I'd recommend reading when you're in for the long haul (It's a fantasy romance after all!) [I own the cover image. Rest of the images used in the story, either for references or collages, are from Pinterest. And the story boards and other collages are made using Canva.]

The Royal Breeder by Nessie_Brookes
106 parts Complete Mature
In the kingdom of Volsavy, where women are scarce and treated as commodities, a brutal tradition has been established: women are bought, sold, and forced into breeding to ensure the survival of the royal bloodline. The five ruthless princes rule with cruelty, each seeking to claim women for their twisted purposes. When Princess Aurora of the Zaverian Kingdom is captured during a brutal war, she becomes a pawn in their violent world. Stripped of her identity, she is forced to endure torment and humiliation as the princes fight for control over her. In Volsavy, women are nothing more than vessels for breeding and pleasure, and Aurora is no exception. But as she is pushed further into despair, Aurora finds a spark of resistance deep within. Surrounded by cruelty and exploitation, she must navigate the horrifying traditions of Volsavy, using her strength to survive and fight back before she loses everything, including herself. Now she is their royal breeder. ........................................ I watched our little princess whimpering in her restraints, hands cuffed above her head and legs tied apart, still tired and almost unconscious of her actions. Her body is glazing with a thin film of sweat, and she is dripping our fluid out of her. Her eyes are blindfolded, and her mouth is gagged, so she breaks into another cry when Dante raises the whip in the air and hits her. ******Previously deleted***** 📩 To My Dear Readers Hey love, it's Nessie, author of The Royal Breeder. My old Wattpad account is gone... along with over 100 parts I poured my heart into. Half a million reads, thousands of votes, months of sleepless nights-vanished in seconds. The character aesthetics I made with so much love... gone too. I still remember my hands shaking, eyes burning, feeling so hollow. But I'm still here. I didn't give up. And I never will. 💙

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 03/30/2023
