Reincarnated as the Betrothed: Bride of the Shadow Queen

#GrumpyxSunshine #ForbiddenLove #ForcedProximity #Dark #Princess #Dramatic #RoyalFamily #Magic #Comedy They say time heals everything, but for me, time only makes things worse! Hi, I’m Anezka Orien, a human with the worst luck imaginable. It wasn't always like this. I was a happy child and a resident of the mortal world, Earth, living with my foster caregiver until I turned 12 and lost my only family. I thought I would be alone in this scary world, but then an angel came to help me. Or so I thought. It turned out to be a trap set by my mother, whom I had no idea existed. She took me to an immortal world called the Cosmos of Aislinn and told me I was the long-awaited princess of the Kingdom of Gaelen. I had been kept on Earth since birth because I was in danger, and they were protecting me from someone. That was understandable, I guess. Now, at 12 years old, I had to learn about this new immortal world, and I was trying my best until I encountered an accident that left me in a coma for 8 years. During this time, I was trapped in an endless dream about my past life. When I finally woke up after 8 years, I was 20 years old and realized I was the reincarnation of my blind, naive and treacherous great-grandmother, who had made many mistakes that I now had to resolve. To make matters worse, my mother told me I was betrothed to the Shadow Queen of the Kingdom of Corbin as her bride. The shocking part? The Shadow Queen was my best friend from my past life, whom I had betrayed. She has been waiting for me for 200 years to take revenge for my past mistakes. —————— Once upon a time, there lived a mysterious queen named Azara Catori, burdened by a curse as old as time. She was one of the three Ardere, fiery souls who instilled fear in the hearts of townspeople from other elements. The Catori name was tainted with darkness and flames. For 200 years, she had been consumed by a desire for revenge against a certain individual whom she passionately despised, vowing to do anything to make that person's life a living hell. Excerpt: "Tying me with these shitty chains isn’t going to lead you anywhere. Don’t forget, I’m the only cure for your curse," Anezka said to the transparent shadow looming in front of her. Within a few seconds, the shadow stepped closer and gripped her jaw, making her shiver from the sudden cold. "Quite a filthy mouth you have there," the shadow's voice boomed in the room like an echo. Keeping her nerves in check, Anezka held the shadow’s cold hands in hers and replied, "And this filthy mouth can do much more than you can even imagine." ————————————————— Trigger Warnings : Novel contains 18+ scene, Cussing, Bullying, Mention of Death, Anxiety, Depression.

What Fate Has Brought

This is a story about me. Where we begin the story, I have no name. There is nothing in my memories of love. There has only ever been fear. Alpha. Omega. Beta. The three sub genders after the standard Male and Female. The world I live in there was also a hierarchy between each sub gender except for Betas. Betas would be the normal, everyday, average human. The majority of the gender society. They are not affected by pheromones, and their own are not strong enough to affect others. Betas, like the other two sub genders, can be male or female. When you get to Alphas, you have dominant Alphas and Alphas that are closer to Beta in behavior, called submissive Alphas. Dominant Alphas are more possessive, stronger, and a tad faster than a submissive one. That does not mean that the submissive Alphas are a push over. They just tend to be more on the quieter side. However, no matter the hierarchy, get two Alphas together that are fighting over dominance and the submissive can be just as dangerous as the dominate. Alphas in general are the ruling class now. They are the CEOs, lawyers, world leaders, even the most of the sport professionals and actors. This brings us to Omegas. The lowest class. Though times have changed, the old ways of looking down towards Omegas, is still very much everywhere you look. Omegas who were once only caged and leashed by their respective Alpha as an item and nothing more; are now allowed to work and go to school. The schools still tend to keep Omegas separate from the Alphas to prevent accidents from happening and most places of employment would rather hire an Alpha or Beta. Omegas tend to not usually have a dominant gene in their body, making them easy targets for the illegal trade. The world slangs them as Breeders. Oh, did I mention that the males, who are very rare, can also get pregnant? *Please note I may have uploaded this on my old account under a different name here but no longer have access to that account. I am rewriting this story and more. *
