apocalypse ceremony claim claiming dystopian future injustice justice kingdom love marriage monarchy texttospeech

The kingdom of Bayfell requires that every male and female must marry after he or she turns sixteen. Of course, not everyone loves this law, but the kingdom's population is dwindling. The Claiming is a ceremony in which one young man writes down the name of three women of his choosing, listing most preferable to least. At the event, the announcements are made of whom each man chose to be his wife. The woman does not get a say in it whatsoever. She is stuck with whoever picks her.

Isabella Reyes is unfortunately sixteen, and she is terrified. She grew up in the Facility, a home for orphans born to women of the lower class. Little does she know that the claim that is made for her hand will change everything.

*Disclaimer: If you think this is a werewolf novel, you are very much wrong! I didn't realize the title's connection to werewolf lore until MONTHS after I was halfway into it. But please, give it a try if you were fooled! It's a mixture of fantasy, romance, and dystopian that has yet to disappoint!*

Her parents knew nothing about that and when she shifted, her parents wanted her to be sent to a priest, so he could ‘cure’ her. Along with that, her parents were arranging a marriage for her to a guy, Matthew, who was rude, intimidating, and abusive. She hated the guy with everything she had. Though, he claimed to love her, but in reality, he just wanted to be King. Isabella ran away, fearing the arranged marriage but also the fact that she was a werewolf now. She was trapped in the woods, trying to survive and make sense of everything. She ends up in America where she tries to find others like she. It works, but she is considered a rogue and everyone hates her and won’t accept her or answer any questions. Some try to hurt and kill her for being a rogue. She struggles to find the mystery of werewolves and how no one in her family was one, yet she was. Matthew is determined to find her and marry her so he can become King and will stop at nothing to find her. Along with being on the run from Matthew, she stumbles across an Alpha who takes a special interest in her. Will she finally get the answers she wants? Will Matthew find her and force her into marriage? Will Isabella be saved by the Alpha? Or will she fail at surviving on her own in a new country, with nothing but the dress on her back?

✔️ The Unwanted Bride (Book One) **UNDER EDITING** by Cast_Iron_Potts

In an effort to rebuild a perfect society after the Great War, the government issued a law known as "The Marriage Process,". During this process, all women who turn 20 that year would be given 4 eligible men, hand selected by the government to ensure that their children would be perfect in the new society. These men would have to not only fight to win her heart, but they also have to fight one another to prove which is the strongest and most superior of the group. For centuries, this law has proven to make perfect marital matches, until now. Juniper Burks is unwanted by everyone, including her own parents. From birth, everyone considered her to be a failure in the elite society, and the only mistake the government made. So when she turned 20, she expected that the government would not include her in "The Marriage Process", but she was wrong. Not only was she included, but the government selected the 4 most attractive and strongest men to be her potential husband.

Queen of all Alphas #3 by BlondeDecember1

There are two sides to one coin. The head and the tail, some refer to it as good vs evil. Some see it as the one person owning one coin. Four coins, and only one lands on the good. The gods threw four coins on my fate. Or so I originally believed. Everyone else got one coin. So, why the fuck was mine an outlier in every realm? I was once Celestine Colton. A girl who grew up in an orphanage, worked for the werewolf council as no human society could stand the sight of me, and until I was eighteen, I thought my life would turn out the same as every other wolf. I couldn't have been more wrong. Nicolai Darkling, Elias Cardinal, Alastair Fawn...and lastly, Creed Legion. Who I now know is Prince Creed Emberflame. Two of them harmed me more than I thought possible. Three of them are pure-bred royals who used me for their own self-righteous needs. Four claim to be mated to me. And only one of them is my true mate. But to confirm or deny what my heart knows, I need an indicator, a magical rune pool which will take my blood and the blood of my mates to clear my pain and suffering. I must enter another set of games just to do it. My true name is Celestine Leviathan, House of Leviathan. Werewolf. Fire elemental. Survivor. The Houses in the elemental realm were demolished to form the four seasons and high kingdom. With more romance, suspense and action, let me tell my story.
