Voodoo Priestess Makeup

"Behold!" The Priestess yelled above the noise of the crowd. It became deathly silent. She could feel the malevolent eyes of the crowd on her and she didn't know why. "The Fox!" Cassidy let out a yip of horror that echoed in the silent village. A Fox Shifter. Cassidy was a Fox. Terror coursed through her smaller body. In all her pleading with the Moon Goddess, she had never thought she would be so terribly cursed. She would be torn limb from limb by the crowd. Shifting to the Fox was a death sentence. Neither prey nor an apex predator, the Fox was an outlier in Shifter society. The crowd roared as one as the High Priestess lifted her. "Run Cassidy, no-clan, and know that pain is only temporary." She whispered softly, before tossing Cassidy into the waiting crowd. All Cassidy had ever wanted was to survive her first Shift. If she didn't end up as prey, all the better. As the illegitimate child of the aging Alpha, and daughter of a rabbit shifter drudge, Cassidy knew the world was an unfair place for those who were not born predator. No one expected Cassidy to be a fox, least of all her. Reviled and feared by predator and prey alike, fox shifters were cast out from home and clan, into the wilderness. If they were lucky. And Cassidy had never been all that acquainted with luck. Rejected by her clan, beaten and broken, left for dead...Cassidy welcomed the darkness. But death will have to wait for her just a little longer. The Lycan King has need of a new assassin, and Cassidy is forced into his world of intrigue, politics, and romance.

"The goddess has chosen you to carry my pup. This is not a marriage, it's just a breeding arrangement. You —" "I'm not interested in any of your breeding whatever —" "It's not a choice. It's either you do it freely or by force. You sure know I don't like my patience being tasted." ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Aria Kyncaid was mistaken as her twin, and was forced into having sex with the drunk Alpha Adrian of Moon Crescent Pack who chased her out the following morning. Her mum and her sister, Arya, accused her of stealing Arya's man. Heartbroken, she decided to leave the pack, Alpha Adrian was instructed by the priestess to find the girl he slept with, that she had been chosen by the moon goddess to carry his pup. Alpha Adrian found Aria in his pack and informed her of the priestess instructions. She refused and he threatened to force her into it. Aria had no choice but to follow him to his mansion. That night she shifted and discovered another shocking news — Alpha Adrian is her mate. With Aria near her, Alpha Adrian's resolve was threatened because of the growing feelings he had for her. Aria fought the mate bond initially, but as days rolled by, she found herself being drawn to him. Breeding arrangement was slowly becoming more when Arya, Aria's twin, struck with her evil machination, putting a rift between them with the excuse that Aria stole her man. Would Adrian defy Arya's schemes and reclaim her second chance mate and would Aria be claimed by her mate, despite her sister's evil schemes?

"How can I be mated to two creatures? Not just any, both a vampire and a wolf?." Alpha Muriel screamed at heedah in a bid to vent her pain and anger. "It's not about screaming now Riel, it's about chosing. The priestess has giving you two options, be quick to grab the best." Heedah admonished nonchalantly but there was still that hint of worry and sadness. "I feel so cursed right now. Why does it have to be me? Why does the cruelest things always befall me? I try my best to be a good leader and Alpha but all I got in return is pain." Alpha Muriel cried out.

When vampires attack the border, my mate's childhood female friend and I both end up trapped in the camp. My mate, Damon Aldridge, shifts into his wolf form and rescues her without a second thought, leaving me alone to face the flames and vampire assault. The next day, I submit a request to the council of elders to sever our mate bond. Damon shows up with a stormy expression, demanding, "You have a priestess bloodline. You can heal yourself. Lydia's more fragile, so I rescued her first. Are you seriously jealous over this?" I meet his eyes calmly. "Yes, but none of that matters anymore."

After twenty years of knowing and loving my destined mate, Alpha Martin, we were finally about to get married. On the eve of the wedding, He skillfully picked out the lipstick shade I wanted from my makeup bag. That's when I knew: Alpha Martin had someone else. That girl was wearing the custom evening gown I'd prepared for the wedding banquet, clinking glasses with Alpha Martin in a mate's toast. Our friends surrounded her, respectfully calling her "Luna." I didn't cause a scene. Instead, I called the hospital. "Dr. Fabian, please dispose of the eggs I had frozen." Then I sent a message to that girl. "Yvonne Jimenez, would you like to marry Martin Daniels in my place?"

My firefighter husband had fallen from a great height during a mission and was rushed into the emergency room, covered in blood. As the only person capable of saving him, I stood just outside the operating room, calm and composed. Reaching for my makeup bag, I began carefully applying my makeup. Another doctor, panic-stricken, rushed toward me and shouted, "Dr. Warhol! The patient's kidney has ruptured! You're the only surgeon in all of Switzerland who can perform this life-saving procedure! If you don’t act now, he’s going to die!" I continued shaping my eyebrows with steady precision, not even glancing in his direction. "Quiet," I said coolly. "If you keep yelling, my brows might end up crooked."

Sepupuku adalah seorang influencer kecantikan yang suka melakukan transformasi penampilan melalui riasan. Saat aku menolak menjadi modelnya, dia malah memutuskan untuk membuka peti jenazah dan merias nenekku saat pemakaman demi menarik perhatian. Alhasil, wajah kaku nenekku di dalam peti jenazah dipenuhi dengan berbagai highlighter dan glitter. Aku menghentikan siaran langsungnya, dan sekarang dia sangat marah padaku. Menjelang hari pernikahanku, dia tiba-tiba muncul dan berkata, "Kak, keterampilanku sudah meningkat. Hari ini aku pasti akan membuatmu menjadi pengantin tercantik, bagaimana?" Melihat produk makeup yang dibawanya, yang merknya belum pernah kulihat sebelumnya, aku pun setuju. Dia tidak menyadari bahwa aku sudah tahu niatnya sejak awal.

"Vee bangun! Aku akan memperkenalkan pengawal barumu," kata ayah. Aku bangun dan menatapnya, meskipun aku masih mengantuk. "Apa? Pengawal lagi? Aku baru saja bilang aku tidak menginginkan semua itu! Itu menyebalkan—" Aku terhenti ketika seorang pria tampan memasuki kamarku tanpa diduga. "Bisakah kau memberitahuku siapa dia?" "Vee, perkenalkan James Villianuevva, pengawal barumu." "Kamu serius, ayah? Ini bodyguard baruku?" "Aku yakin kamu akan menikmatinya; kamu akan cocok dengannya, terutama dalam hal belanja dan makeup—" Aku menggelengkan kepala dan bergumam, "Ya Tuhan, hanya wanita yang suka berbelanja dan merias wajah." "Aku gay," kataku, rahangku ternganga mendengar berita itu. Apa? Gay? Apa, pengawal gay? Itu gila...
