“No matter what, never fall for the vampire king.” Kiara Whitman always knew her fate was twisted because she is the first hybrid, but things took a drastic turn when she was offered a contract marriage with the ruthless Valerian King. There was just one clause on the contract: "Falling for Adriel Valerian is equivalent to death.” But how could she follow such a clause? Her heart raced under his gaze, and when he spoke, her thoughts became foggy. It was clear as day that if the clause was meant to keep her alive, she wouldn’t survive. Unfortunately, Adriel, the vampire king, didn’t feel the same for her because he had his own plans for the hybrid princess; she was the key to everything he craved—his ultimate freedom from hell. He had sworn never to let himself fall for her because it would be messy; he had to be smart, vigilant, and stay in control. What will happen when Kiara finds out the real reason behind the contract marriage? Or when she discovers that she was just a tool for survival all along, just a possession to the vampire king and nothing less? Will she decide to leave for good or stay to find out her purpose? Or at least seduce the vampire king, if at all that’s possible.

As thunder crashes and rain pours, their swords clash in a fierce duel, with each combatant questioning the righteousness of their cause. Wumian rejects the idealistic notion of morality, arguing that it is merely a justification for the powerful to control the weak. Driven by his desire to fight for his survival, he challenges the system that dictates their fate, questioning whether anyone truly knows what is good or evil. As the battle intensifies, Wumian’s memories drift to a time long ago on a distant planet, where he, once a cold and calculating conqueror, pondered the very purpose of his existence. Having sacrificed everything, including his humanity, to fulfill a predestined role, he wonders if it was all worth it. With his fate tied to a world he no longer cares for, Wumian's desire to break free becomes all-consuming. But when a powerful, mystical force intervenes, Wumian is suddenly thrust into a new reality—one where he wakes up in a different body, smaller and helpless. He now faces the terrifying possibility that his entire life has been part of a larger cosmic game, with forces beyond his comprehension orchestrating his every move. As Wumian struggles to regain control over his destiny, he must confront the true nature of his existence and the meaning of free will. Can he break the chains that bind him, or is he forever doomed to repeat his past mistakes? “I lost everything to fulfill a destiny I didn’t choose… but now, I’ll rewrite my story.”

Just when she believes that she is fated to rot in hell on earth, someone else starts showering her with the affection she so desires. Will Valerie open her heart to the man who can be her salvation from eternal damnation? Excerpt: “Open your mouth,” he commanded in a ragged whisper. I did as he asked. Although embarrassed, I parted my lips, just enough to let out the breath that I was holding. His lips immediately sealed mine shut and began to move skillfully–every stroke of his jaw precise and succinct–evoking the primal urge from deep within me. I tried to keep up with his pace but my inexperience was painfully obvious. He suddenly entangled his slender fingers with my loose hair and pulled it down to tilt my head up. I don’t know why my heart raced at that action of his, but it did. I bet my heart rate topped the chart when he nipped my lower lip and whispered, my lip still between his teeth, “Open wider. Let me taste you.” Follow me on Instagram for more. https://www.instagram.com/sani_mimosa/ The cover art was commissioned from Artist Shu G Sin. Find him on Instagram @shu_g_sin
