WATTPAD ORIGINAL EDITION

Island princess Yenni is searching for a way to save her father's life, but a handsome yet infuriating shapeshifting dragon becomes an unexpected distraction.

                                                                                *****

As a princess of the Moonrise Isles, Yenni is all-but-engaged to the prince of a neighbouring tribe. She knows it's her duty to ensure peace for her people, but as her father's illness steadily worsens, she sets out on a sacred journey to the empire of Cresh, determined to find a way to save him at any cost, even though failure could mean the wrath of her gods and ruin for her people. One further complication? On the day she arrives at the Prevan Academy for Battle and Magical Arts, she meets an arrogant dragon shifter who claims she's his "Given", or destined mate. Muscular, beautiful (and completely infuriating), he's exactly the kind of distraction Yenni can't afford while her father's life hangs in the balance. But by rejecting him, is she fighting her feelings -- or her fate?

The day was anything but normal for Princess Adira. When her mother reveals the ancient tradition of their kingdom, Adira's emotions spiral, pushing her toward a destiny she cannot escape. Now, she embarks on a perilous journey to the fourth continent-an uncharted land full of mysteries, dangers, and dark secrets. She isn't alone. With her are two loyal best friends, but the trio soon finds themselves caught up in a web of intrigue. Nine strangers, divided into secretive groups, are also heading to the continent, each with their own hidden motives. But as tensions rise, two individuals bring chaos that threatens to tear apart the fragile alliances. Who can Adira trust in a world where loyalty is uncertain, and even the most familiar faces might hide dark secrets? In this world, magic is alive-but not in the ways you might expect. There are no werewolves or vampires here, but angels, mermaids, and half-human creatures walk among them. As Adira's journey unfolds, she will face not only external threats but also the turmoil within herself. The powers at play are strong, and so are the emotions-will she be able to balance it all, or will she succumb to the path her closest one chose years ago? -ˋˏ✄┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ 𝐂𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐬: Design by @yourFEATHERS | Background image from Pinterest I hope you enjoy this story!

At First Sight by LilWitch726
24 parts Ongoing Mature
Not your average rejection story. Usually the boy does something stupid - and keeps being stupid - the girl forgives and forgets and gets pulled in by the mate bond. Ignoring all his transgressions because 'the bond said so'. Not this time, sometimes fate gets it wrong and sometimes you grow out of things; like love. Vivian Clark is a mostly normal girl, as normal as you can be when you're more than eccentric mother is the head of a coven of witches. Something that; according to her, is a long standing tradition and more people need their apothecary than Viv realizes. While Vivian practices magic and identifies as a witch, it's more of a religion than a lifestyle in her eyes. She doesn't know there are very real powers laying dormant in her bloodline, and very real creatures that not only lurk in the night but often lurk on her doorstep. Trevor Erikson; a hot shot jock, a playboy, and Mr. Popularity, he could have any girl he wants and often does. Going from one to another and enjoying every minute of it. Despite the fact that he's a werewolf and an alpha's son, he could care less about fated mates or finding a luna for his pack. Which he'll eventually take over at the end of the school year. He doesn't take it too well when his fated mate shows up unannounced, and he does what any asshole would do. He rejects her at first sight. How will the two manage with a rejection floating between them for the remainder of the school year? ************************************** A fast-paced romance with mature scenes, all based in a fantasy world. If that's your vibe this is your story to read. This is my second work and I had to get it out of my brain cause it's all I could think of while writing a completely different book, there will be slow updates.

Declan Blackthorn has been forced to seek refuge in the world of humans for the past five years, after being forcibly removed from the throne, his rightful title as Dragon King stripped away from him by his very own brother, Alister. During his forced exile, Declan has learned to adapt to his new home and has gone on to create a new life for himself. He has created one of the most powerful and influential financial corporations in the human world, living comfortably surrounded by wealth, privilege and power. But life in exile is a lonely one, as Declan is learning, as he has yet to find his destined mate, the one who will help him in his quest for justice. But he never expected her to walk into his life through an open door. Introducing Brianna Taylor, a stunningly beautiful woman of color, who has been seeking love all of her life only to constantly be plagued by countless bad relationships. After four months of online dating with a man named Michael, she was finally meeting him in person for the very first time. But unfortunately for her, just like all of her other relationships, this was doomed from the start, when it comes to light that she is actually dating a married man. Her discouraged feelings over learning this, however, would be overshadowed by intense attraction and desire for a mysterious, handsome stranger whose eyes she encounters from across a crowded room. But the question yet to be answered is: will Brianna accept Declan when she learns that he is actually not human, but the King of all Dragons? And will she be willing to accept her place by his side as his destined life mate and Queen? Sometimes love comes in different disguises, so why not as a Dragon.
