Hybrid King: A Royal Affair
“How sore are you?”
His unexpected presence made me jump in fright.
“Your Majesty?” I spun around to see him sitting on the bed I had been staring at earlier.
“Come here.” He didn’t repeat the question. Did I mishear?
“Your Grace, if you’ll just let me finish cleaning up this area—” I rushed out, suddenly confused and nervous about why he’d want me to come closer.
“How about you abandon that and come sit, Cassia. Now.” His tone was firm yet soft. I almost gasped when he raised his eyebrows and patted his left thigh. I gulped hard and took tentative steps toward him….
In a world where medieval and modern collide, werewolves, vampires, and hybrids rule while humans live in fear, their lives not fully belonging to themselves.
Cassia is one of the unfortunate souls sold by her aunt to the hybrid palace, a place desperately in need of new servants. Living under the roof of the infamous Hybrid King, who harbors a deep-seated hatred for humans—especially due to their role in the brutal attack that harmed his mother—her fate becomes dangerously intertwined with his.
As she navigates the treacherous palace with survival on her mind, she becomes entangled with the King, who fights against an undeniable attraction to the very human he despises.

Chapter: Chapter 11Cassia’s Pov I had a fitful sleep last night after the dinner conversation. It was stupid of me to attack my friends for venting their reasonable frustration against the tyranny we are surrounded by. It doesn’t matter if the king gave me a jacket; it doesn’t change the fact that he’s letting me live because he finds me “interesting.” He could wake up tomorrow and find me uninteresting, and I’d be nothing but a memory in Diane and Sienna’s minds. As I approached the king’s library with my usual cleaning supplies, I decided to keep my head down and stop unintentionally arguing with his orders. That way, he’ll lose interest in me, and my heart will stop swooning at whatever attention he throws my way. My steps halted when I saw Larmy at the library door. He must be on duty, guarding the space. He should have gotten over me, I thought, as I ignored him and entered to clean. A few minutes in, the door opened, and I looked up to see Larmy staring at me with disdain. I ignored him

Chapter: Chapter 10Cassia’s Pov “He?” He sounded pissed. His eye color was shifting between teal and amber.“Um, yes, your grace. I don’t own a jacket, so I’m grateful for his, because I still feel cold.” But I sensed that my words didn’t diffuse the dangerous tension in the air.He crossed his arms and tilted his head slightly. “I didn’t realize that I gave the go-ahead for coupling among my servants.”Some regions and places didn’t have a problem with dating among slaves, while others did. But here in the palace, it was an unspoken crime. So many crimes here were unspoken—so annoying.“Not that, your grace. He is—he is just a friend… last night, we—”“Take it off!” Amber eyes won. His wolf was present.I slowly took it off, and the morning breeze hit me hard, making me shiver again.“Drop it on the ground.”“Or I could just give it to him?” I immediately regretted my suggestion as he shot me an incredulous look before letting out a dark chuckle.“Fucking wonderful, Cassia. You’re negotiating my order

Chapter: Chapter 9Cassia’s Pov “The soup is too salty today,” Diane muttered. “I thought it was only me!” Sienna concurred. We were having dinner in the dining hall in the servants' quarters. This miserable food keeps taking me back to the breakfast I had with the king. It’s been a few days since I crossed paths with him, and on the noon of the same day, he and his second passed me without even blinking in my direction. It’s weird how that hurt somehow. “Do hybrids or vampires actually enjoy human food? I know werewolves do,” Sienna asked, and of course, Diane knew the answer. “Hybrids, yes, but not vampires. They just eat because they can, but would pick blood any day and time. Vile creatures.” She abandoned the soup for the breadsticks. “So is blood for hybrids not a necessity?” I asked. “They are part vampires, Cassia. They also need blood to function well, but obviously not as much as full vampires.” “They are also vile creatures,” Sienna added, and I found myself shaking my head in disa

Chapter: Chapter 8Cassia’s Pov “It’s too early for this. What’s your name?” he asked, his hands across his broad chest.I wasn’t looking directly at his face, but I was very aware of his movements in case I had to choose between fight or flight. Although both would do nothing to help me if he advanced.I gulped and bit my lip—a nervous habit—before whispering, “Cassia.”Does he want to know my name before killing me? Or report me to the scary head matron? Why are our encounters always this crazy?“Come with me,” he said gruffly, starting to walk out of the room before I processed the message and practically ran after him.He moved with enviable ease and stealth, passing guards at every turn who bowed to him.We arrived at a double door—almost all the doors here are double, heavy, and have the royal crest inscribed—and walked into a small dining hall with a kitchenette in the corner. This place was oddly cozy and smelled like cinnamon and citrus—citrusy like him.“You were in the kitchen, right, Cassia

Chapter: Chapter 7Karl’s Pov It was her. She was the cause. I had thought that I was losing my shit when I couldn’t pinpoint where the magnetic scent was coming from, but it was from this human. As she cleaned a side of my study, I fought hard to focus on what Landon was saying, trying to ignore her pounding and steady heartbeat. I wasn’t always this aware of the heartbeats of people around me, but hers was tempting. It wasn’t just her blood that was inviting, but her scent in general. “I’ve been informed that they increased the agreed price again. All attempts to get them to reconsider are futile, and they won’t sell it to us,” Landon concluded. “Then burn it to the ground.” I was so done with those fickle nitwits of a timber supplier with no proper business ethics. A screeching noise of a metal bucket against the wooden floor, along with the tumbling of other things, caught our attention, and we snapped our necks to the source. Not being used to such sudden loud noise in my study, I was alm

Chapter: Chapter 6Cassia’s Pov “Um... Cassia, Madam Care is asking for you. She’s in the kitchen,” Diane said in a pitiful voice, her expression sad. “I told you you’d be punished!” Sienna almost screamed at me, tears streaming down her face. It had been almost two days since I brazenly stared at the king as he feasted on the maid's wrist. He hadn’t said anything afterward, and I managed to tear my horrified gaze away as soon as I saw the bloodstains on his lips. “Why didn’t you just put your head down?” Sienna continued, following me to the kitchen and clutching my hands as if I were walking to my execution. Looking at Madam Care’s expression on this beautiful morning, I might as well have been. “You stupid girl! Do you want to die so soon? How dare you stare at your king in such an insolent manner?” I opened my mouth to respond, but she cut me off. “Save it! You’re fortunate that he wasn’t in a bad mood. And now, the head matron herself has requested your immediate transfer to the elite
