This is the story behind me coming to love a monster and finding myself in the process...
I can’t believe it. This thought kept running through my mind as I lay on my bed staring at the ceiling. I still couldn’t seem to comprehend what my father had said. Here I was, soon to be eighteen and I already had to leave my family, friends, and home behind. I thought it would be in the far future when I found a suitor worthy of my hand in marriage, but boy was I wrong.
My father was pretty well known and high up in the royal family in my kingdom. He was the cousin to the king and had two daughters. I was one of those daughters, while my younger sister the other.
My age was one of the things that had sealed me to my fate. You see, I was one of the few girls old enough for the task. Out of us few, I was chosen for it. It was more of a punishment in my eyes.
Let me stop rambling and tell you how this all came to be for I’m getting a head of myself. You all need to know the truth behind my story and how I came to love a monster...
