This story came from a writing competition I did on (Writingbattle.com), thought it'd be fun to post it here even if it didn't win, still something I'm proud of.
The Prompts:
Genre-Underdog Story
Character-Nightwatch
Object-Bell
The Goal was to keep the writing within like 500 to 1000 words if I'm remembering correctly. Constructive Criticism is alright with me. I'm planning on making a full story of this at some point.
The cover is AI, sorry needed something, and I'm way to broke right now.

Beast World Handsome Husband Hoarder
×MATURE× > She died a jobless anime binge-watcher. She woke up a chubby, unwanted beast bride. Odette didn't ask for a second life-especially not in the body of a despised gray swan with five drop-dead-gorgeous beastmen husbands who can't even look her in the eye. Forgotten by her tribe, accused of crimes she didn't commit, and left to drown by the very men who vowed to protect her... it should've ended there. But fate-no, a shady cosmic system-had other plans. Armed with a cheat-like storage space, a secondhand body, and five cold marks on her hand proving none of her husbands ever claimed her, Odette decides it's time to rewrite this beastly romance into her own personal revenge story. Who needs loyalty when she can hoard hotter husbands? Who needs love when she can live deliciously petty? Let the ex-husbands regret. Let the new suitors line up. And let the Swan Queen rise-feathers, fat rolls, and all.![The Duke's Relentless Obsession [COMPLETED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/393169748-256-k211159.jpg)

He'll make you wonder how someone could love you that much.

Her mother, Isadora Ravelle, used her power to torment the Marquess's first daughter, Liora. Seraphina loved her sister dearly, yet she could never show it. Desperate to save Liora from their mother's abuse, Seraphina secretly forged a letter and sent a marriage proposal in her sister's name to the feared Grand Duke, Izek Viremont. But instead of accepting Liora... the Duke sent the proposal back-to Seraphina. Why would one of the most powerful men in the kingdom choose her? And what does the Duke truly want?Complete
