The Ugly Mate

Did you know Swans mate for life? Sure, they are ugly as ducklings but when they turn of age, they become beautiful swans and find their mate for life.

Thats right, this story is about humans who are able to turn into swans (#tryingtobeoriginal)

The royals are known as Titled; the royals are bigger and much more beautiful than others, also they tend to have more ducklings.

The royals have blue blood and every year, they hold a gathering in effort to find and mate all the newly transformed beauties to find their mates. When the royals' mate, the mate's blood turns blue. The blue blood of a royal has to be earned before the gathering.

The markings appear at the first transformation after their sixteenth birthday at night in the form of matching tattoos.
