Onceuponnow Stories

Being a Queen was considered everything to my four outrageous cousins. I for one do not care, I never want to be a ruling monarch. Never. The Princess Project was a ritual that my country had been doing for decades. The government of Amaren would choose one descendant of the five royal lineages and make her the project of the country. The Princess would be expected to marry the chosen prince of the country. Of course this sounds like either the best contest you have heard of, or the worst. I personally agree with the civilians who despise it. This short story contains 10 chapters, and was entered in the #OnceUponNow contest sponsored by Target!

You'll be hooked with this hilariously funny and romantic novella as you try to figure out if Santiago is beauty or the beast, or both?

They seek love again. And that's when their wings turn black. It's when His wings turned black. #JustWriteIt #OnceUponNow Cover credit to @artemis_xx
