Well Pickled Turtle Neck

The Devil's Betrothed

[Main Plot Completed] A love doomed from the start, a lost cause, a losing battle—and yet, neither hearts are willing to let go until the very end. ----- Arlan Cromwell, the epitome of the perfect Crown Prince. All he wants is to live a normal life of a human but the life of a dragon is anything but normal. He has but one goal—to find his runaway betrothed and behead her. What happens when he discovers that the woman who has snagged his heart is the one he vowed to kill? Oriana, a Black Witch, disguising herself as a man, has spent her entire life on the run without knowing what she is running away from. When the mysteries of her past slowly catch up to her, she has no one to turn to…except Arlan. But when she learns that the man she has given her heart to is the same man who wants to kill her, how can she accept the cruel card life dealt her? Two people with secrets to keep, identities to hide, and answers to find. When the certain darkness threatens to take Oriana away, will the Dragon be able to protect his mate? ----- Excerpt- “If I knew you were my betrothed, I would have killed you the very first moment we met." Arlan's gaze darkened with hatred. “If I knew I was betrothed to you, I would have killed myself before you even killed me!” Oriana mirrored the same emotions as him. He pulled out a dagger and offered it to her. “It’s not too late. Just slit your throat with this and you'll bleed out painlessly.” She accepted the knife, her fingers clutching its handle tightly. The next moment, he was pressed against the wall and the knife was on the right side of his neck. “How about I try it on you first, my betrothed?” “Feel free to try. But when you fail, this knife will first taste your grandpa's blood, then yours.” Anger rose in her eyes, and the next moment, blood was flowing through the right side of his neck. She cut deep enough to severe an important blood vessel. “You should not have challenged me,” she sneered and stepped back, waiting for him to collapse. He simply smirked and brushed his finger along the deep wound on his neck. “Seems like you failed.” She watched the wound on his neck heal on its own and felt shocked to her bones. “You.. what are you?” “Guess?” ----- Instagram- mynovel.20 Facebook- Author mynoveltwenty

The Dragon Prince's Bride

*Author's other work (She belongs to the Demon King)* *** They say opposite attracts, that's a lie. Opposites kill each other! When a hot blood meets another hot blood, things are bound to get burnt. That is exactly what happens when the pompous and prideful elven princess, Neriah of the Avelah Kingdom is forced to marry the brash dragon Prince, Barak of the Trago Kingdom. Neriah's goal is to someday break away from her marriage and run away with the love of her life, Lyle of the Niles. While Barak will do everything to keep her as a wife. Neriah is certain she's in love with another, but she's also certain that no one can ignite the kind of passion her husband brings. Her husband who she hates more than anything. Can the flames of passion be drawn from hate? Can that same passion burn down the walls of lies, betrayal, and hurt? Can its ashes transcend into love? Excerpt "I am a rose, a beautiful flower, delicate and precious! But you my dear sir are nothing but the thorny stem! Prickly, dangerous and very harmful!" ranted Neriah while poking his chest with her index finger. "Well you seem to forget one important detail, my love." He calmly grabbed her poking hand. "And what would that be, my fine sir?" "That the thorny stem and the rose grow together. The delicate rose and the prickly thorn, they belong together my dear." "You—" "And no amount of ranting and raging will change that. You think I want to keep a witch like you? You are a pain in the neck. If I am a thorn then you are a piece of fish bone stuck inside my neck. I cannot swallow and I can not spit it out! I just have to bear it!" "You insolent bastard! Do you mean to say I am a burden!" "Well you are no precious prize, are you?" And that was it, she threw herself at him with her claws ready to mar his face, but he was quicker and he caught both her hands with one of his own and pressed her heaving chest upon his. Golden eyes stared deep into hers. They were as green as the fresh leaves on an orange tree. His fingers caressed her face, “You might not be a precious prize, but by the heavens, you are mine.” And his lips fell on hers, and once again, another argument was drowned.

A very tiny little girl, lives in poverty, even though her absent parents are King and Queen, of a realm. The little girl has only one friend, her remotely distant cousin. They live in a massive mansion, on top of, an even more humongous Mountain. The little Stephanie, struggles with strife, and a bully, as she attempts to get to school. At school, she faces angry people, including her teacher! After her troubles are supposedly solved, more heartaches and tragedy "slaps her face": She just met her real family, for the first time. Suddenly, her father disappeared. (Wait. The family members disappeared before she meets them, in this series of "lives". That's what I mean, someone manipulates time, so everything and everyone will become confused. As Stephanie, and Cousin Brian, train, in anything that might help in their quest: more family members disappeared. Along with cross training, with the different branches of the USA military, she also learned Marshall Arts. Seeing, as how, the people might be injured, both Heros, become Emergency doctors. That's only the first part of this story. SYNOPSIS 3 - overview This is a story about a girl, who is forced to time travel, and lead various lives which somehow overlap. There is a lot of alteration. I also use Harry Potter, and Star Trek Voyager, among other films and shows, to try to illustrate my work. Synopsis 4 Stephanie Vitality, is a reincarnation of someone else. She was created, when the other person, went swimming in The Fountain of Youth, which is also a Wishing Well. Stephanie is the victim, of other reincarnated people, who, are trying to fix a heinous catastrophe: The Fountain of Youth, AKA The Vitality SUN - INFUSED River, was CONTAMINATED‼️ Someone, thinks that, if Stephanie restarts her first trip to school, until she gets the strange journey perfected; that that will solve everything‼️ Another newly made life form, thinks that he can play with Stephanie, as though she's a doll. He tossed her in the air, and got her to do gymnastics and acrobatics, while she was scared to death. The original item, that was animated in the river, obviously, didn't know what he was doing. As Stephanie manages to get older, she finds a lot of look-alike females, who are actually various versions of herself. Some of them, were made in the water. Every Time Stephanie has to restart an activity, she is dunked into the magic water. Sometimes, Stephanie is pushed through the space-time continuum, to different places on Earth, and to different points in history. Every time Stephanie appears, a new version of her, is also created. This is because, the wind picks up the water, (and numerous life forms,). The saturated wind, creates a humidity, that duplicates everything and everyone it touches. On top of everything else, Stephanie becomes the Queen of this place, that she doesn't understand. She has to solve everyone's problems. Her adventures can suddenly stop. Next thing we know, she's reincarnated as a baby again. Enjoy
