LOGIN“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.

And stupid.I set down my cup. “Future Queen?” Letting the silence stretch “You’ve been busy, Sir Cardin.”Cardin smiled. Not his usual fake smile, the other one. The one that said I’ve already won this argument, boy.“With respect, Your Majesty, you gave your consent at our last gathering.”Consent. I’d waved a hand to shut them up from prolonging the future heir discussion, and now he calls it a vow?.Lukard leaned forward, all oil and sympathy. “You need not worry, sire. The lady is of wonderful character. I dare say you’d be pleased.”Aldridge was grinning. That told me something.“Which family?”“The Drecary. Lady Ann-Soril. Daughter of the late Sir Matin and Lady Faan Drecary.”Aldridge’s niece. Of course, I thought.Landon didn’t need telepathy for me to know his opinion. I saw the muscle jump in his jaw from across the table.“As you know, your grace,
Cassia’s POVThe headache I woke with still isn't budging. Thankfully it's not very painful, but even as we gathered at our now usual hill spot to relax from the day's work, I couldn't really focus on the conversations."We really have to thank you again, Cassia, for your help yesterday. If not, I don't think our dear friend would be hale and alive with us." Groth's voice pierced through my cloudy mind.I waved off his praise. "It was literally the King's grace," I mumbled."Or your magic honey pot," Sienna snickered beside me."Enna!" I whisper-yelled, ignoring the heat crawling up my face.But Diane wasn't helping matters as she added, "But seriously, what have you done to the infamous hybrid known to not give a rat's ass for humans? It has to be your enchanting—""Stop it. All of you." Drakon interrupted the snickers around us. "Can't you see what this means?!""What it means is that she saved your life?" Groth answered, shooting his friend a warning look.But Drakon ignored him. "
Karl’s POV My brother never knocks. He storms in. The doors to my study opened with far more force than necessary, and I did not look up from the parchment in my hand. “You are losing your mind.” Ah. So that was the mood today. “You will need to be more specific,” I replied calmly. “Losing one’s mind is an inevitable side effect of ruling bunch of mules.” Ace paced before my desk, agitation rolling off him like heat. “Lord Aldridge witnessed it,” he snapped. “He smelled it. He practically tasted it in the air. Do you know what it means for that man to sense weakness from you?” My jaw tightened slightly. Anything about that man spoiled my mood. “What weakness?” “You have assigned palace guards to trail a human maid,” he continued. “You have issued direct orders that she is not to be harmed under any circumstances. What happens when the entire palace starts whispering about it?. And Aldridge—” He stopped pacing and leaned both palms on my desk. “Aldridge has never wanted
Cassia’s POV Days passed after the king’s promise of “protection,” and I cannot lie, I have seen many differences in my day to day life. Every time I am in the middle of my chores, a guard interrupts with either, “The king calls for your immediate attendance,” or, “By the King’s order, leave whatever you are doing and close for the day.” And the pure look of anger and horror on Cindy’s face? Always delightful. The most mind blowing change, however, was the grim reapers and their bitter concoctions. Out of the many times Karl and I have been intimate, I have never woken to them forcing a potion down my throat. The first time they stopped, I woke to find a bowl of the familiar contraceptive mixture resting quietly on the table. For a good few hours, I was confused. ‘Is this the drink?‘ ‘Where are they?‘ ‘Was this truly meant for me?‘ ‘Are they waiting for me to wake?‘ ‘Where are they?!‘ It took courage to ask the soldiers guarding the king’s chamber doors — I was blush
Cassia’s POV Ever since I was little, I’ve hated being the center of attention. Now, it felt like I’d been thrown into the spotlight, tied to a chair and forced to accept the crowds scrutiny. As I cleaned the king’s room, I swallowed the knots in my throat to avoid crying. From the blood spots o
Cassia’s POV “It doesn’t heal later?” He asked, genuinely unaware. Lazily stroking my back in a up and down motion.“You can’t just break a human’s bone and expect it to heal immediately.”I told him.He had to be joking.We were cuddling, naked under the sheets, and I wasn’t sure how we got to thi
Karl’s POV “Make sure to give him a few drops of blood in a few hours,” I directed Reckon, instructing him to keep the prisoner I just wound up a little alive. “We’ll continue this session tomorrow.” I needed to get back to Cassia. On my way to my quarters, Reckon interrupted, calling my attent
Cassia’s POV “The king requests your presence,” he said. “Follow me.” I blinked in shock before hastily leaving my friends to chase after the guard, who didn’t even give me a chance to process, reject, or accept the command—not that I had a choice anyway. “Where are you taking me?” I asked, al
