My Once Handsome Husband

Marriages are not a thing for love. They are a binding contract your parents make when you are a child and you will have no say in them. You are left to hope they bargained well. When Delaney Simms was born she was a beautiful baby everyone was sure would grow up to be as beautiful as her mother. So when Lord and Lady Adair approached the new parents to arrange a marriage for their handsome eldest son they were quick to accept. They had money but no title. The Adairs had titles and estates but they were falling into disarray due to lack of funds. It was the perfect arrangement. The children grew up and the fortunes of their families reversed. While the Adairs grew more and more wealthy, Delaney's parents passed away and she lost everything and had to live with her Aunt and Uncle. Her marriage contract was still binding though so at least she had that for her future. That was until word came that her handsome future husband had been sent to defend the kingdom against a dragon and had returned scarred and angry. Unable to escape her contract, Delaney was forced to marry the man who was now more of a monster. But could she ever learn to love him? Once they are married she learns there is much more to her scarred husband than meets the eye and she is soon swept into a life of witches, fairies, unicorns, pirates, and more. Delaney has made it clear she will never love her husband and he knows that. He makes a deal with her so they won't have to stay married forever. But what happens if now Delaney is the one to change her mind?

To Save My Husband

      "There are some things I know I'm going to need," Helena said, looking between Delaney and the Queen.

      "Of course," Delaney nodded right away, "Whatever you need.  We'll get it."

      Helena looked over a few pages in her books before coming up with a list for them.  She held it out and Sophia took it, being the closest.  She read over it, nodding as she went.  When she got towards the bottom though she stopped and frowned.

      "You're quite sure you need all of these things?"

      Helena nodded, "If I have any chance of saving him I know I will need at least everything on that list."

Delaney looked between them, seeing the concern on their faces.  Feeling her patience tested, she snatched the list from Sophia's hands and read over it herself.  At first, she thought everything was fine until she got to the bottom and saw the item that had given the Queen pause.

      "You need... You need a tooth from the dragon?"
