“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.

„Wenn wir beide in Gefahr wären, wen würde Jared deiner Meinung nach zuerst retten?“, fragte sie plötzlich. „Was?“ Ich hatte keine Zeit zu verstehen, was sie sagte, denn im nächsten Moment, spürte ich einen Stoß auf meinem Rücken und verlor das Gleichgewicht, rutschte von der Treppe hinunter und landete am Fuß der Treppe. ***************** Arielle hatte alles – eine blühende Karriere als talentierte Köchin und eine erfolgreiche Ehe mit einem Milliardär.

Ich erhielt ein pornografisches Video. „Gefällt dir das?“ Der Mann, der im Video sprach, war mein Ehemann Mark, den ich seit mehreren Monaten nicht gesehen hatte. Er war nackt, sein Hemd und seine Hose lagen verstreut am Boden, während er sich kraftvoll gegen eine Frau bewegte, deren Gesicht ich nicht sehen konnte. Ihre vollen, runden Brüste wippten heftig. Ich hörte deutlich die klatschenden Geräusche im Video, vermischt mit lustvollen Stöhnen und Grunzen. „Ja, ja, nimm mich hart, Baby“, schrie die Frau ekstatisch als Antwort. „Du ungezogenes Mädchen!“, stand Mark auf und drehte sie um, während er ihr auf den Hintern schlug. „Streck deinen Arsch hoch!“ Die Frau kicherte, drehte sich um, schwang ihre Hüften und kniete sich aufs Bett. Mir war, als hätte mir jemand einen Eimer Eiswasser über den Kopf geschüttet. Es war schlimm genug, dass mein Ehemann eine Affäre hatte, aber noch schlimmer war, dass die andere Frau meine eigene Schwester Bella war. „Ich will die Scheidung, Mark“, wiederholte ich für den Fall, dass er mich beim ersten Mal nicht gehört hatte – auch wenn ich wusste, dass er mich deutlich verstanden hatte. Er starrte mich mit gerunzelter Stirn an, bevor er kalt antwortete: „Das liegt nicht bei dir! Ich bin sehr beschäftigt, verschwende nicht meine Zeit mit solch langweiligen Themen oder dem Versuch, meine Aufmerksamkeit zu erregen!“ Das Letzte, was ich tun würde, wäre zu streiten oder zu zanken. „Ich werde den Anwalt die Scheidungsvereinbarung schicken lassen“, sagte ich nur, so ruhig ich konnte. Er sagte danach kein weiteres Wort und ging einfach durch die Tür, vor der er gestanden hatte, wobei er sie hart hinter sich zuschlug. Mein Blick verweilte etwas geistesabwesend auf dem Türknauf, bevor ich den Ehering von meinem Finger zog und ihn auf den Tisch legte.
