Rose's lips were still locked in Lord Grim’s when Rose suddenly pulled away from him.
“What happened, angel?” Grim asked, laughing.
“You just want to take advantage of me, I can see that.”
“Don't speak like a child, Rose.” This was the first time he was calling her name. It sounded strange on his lips.
“Please I want to be alone,” Rose replied.
Lord Grim chuckled, “I know you want to take your revenge on Reed but you can't do that alone. You need guidance.”
“I don't need your help, the only reason I'm still here is because of…” Rose wasn't done when Grim cut her short.
“Your Mom?” He asked. Her silence made him laugh more.
“You don't even know what you've gotten yourself into. I'll get my maids to bring you some dresses, dinner is in ten minutes. I don't condone lateness so let that stick now.”
“What do you mean by what I've gotten myself into?” Rose blinked her eyes to stop the tears that she had been fighting; she was getting more confused and regretted ever coming to Nostville.
“Your mother would be in the best position to answer your questions but for now, just hope she cares about you enough to return.”
“What the hell are you saying? I don't understand a single thing.” Rose flared up, panic setting in.
“Do you know one mistake you should never make?” Grim asked her, and she shook her head slowly, moving backward as he walked towards her.
“Raising your voice at me, disobeying me, or doing anything that might trigger my wrath. Oh… you don't want to see that side of me.” Her heartbeat increased as he said those words.
“I apologize.”
Lord Grim nodded. “Need I remind you that you have no business outside the walls of this castle, I'm doing you a favor. I hope you do know that we are all vampires here and your kind isn't wanted here.”
“But…I have vampire blood in me.” Rose protested.
“It's clear you don't know your root but don't worry. Time shall tell.” Grim concluded and left the room.
“I knew it, I shouldn't have come here. Now I'm just a prisoner, what was the use of coming in search of my mother when she doesn't even care if I exist or not.” Rose wept; she regretted coming to Nostville, and she needed to act fast and find a way out of the horrible place she had led herself to.
“Excuse me, my lady,” Rose heard a voice by the door immediately Grim left.
“Yes, come in.”
A young lady walked into the room, she was in the same age gap as Rose.
“Lord Grim asked me to deliver this to you.” She stepped forward and dropped a bag on the bed.
“Okay, thank you,” Rose said, but the lady continued speaking.
“I've been assigned as your maid. I'm to ensure you wake up at the right time, bathe, and eat too.” The lady said.
“I don't understand but first of all, what's your name?” Rose asked.
“Judy.”
“Nice to meet you, Judy. I'm Rose.” Rose said and she bowed her head.
“You don't have to act all humble, we can be friends.” Rose urged, her eyes scanned Judy. Judy didn't look happy; she wore a long face and tried to act the way she had been trained by Nostville, but Rose knew Judy wasn't a happy lady.
“If Lord Grim ever finds out we are friends, he can kill me, and I don't want that,” Judy replied.
“He doesn't have to know, but feel free to call me Lady Rose only in his presence. But call me Rose when we are alone, okay?” Rose urged and Judy nodded her head in agreement.
“Dinner is in seven minutes; please, can you start dressing now? I don't think you should take your bath because you'll end up late, and trust me, Lord Grim hates latecomers.”
“Do you guys have a time rule in this place? He's always talking about ten minutes, thirty minutes, and now you too.” Rose asked, surprised at Judy's time consciousness.
“You won't understand yet, but pray not to fall into his hands,” Judy said.
“Are you a werewolf too?” Judy asked, searching for an outfit from the bag she had brought.
“Yes, why? You are?” Rose asked and Judy nodded.
“But I thought he said only vampires existed here.”
Judy laughed for the first time since she entered the room. “He wasn't telling you the truth.” She handed over an emerald dress to Rose, it had a strap at the waist.
“Good taste.” Rose smiled and collected it. “I can't believe I won't take my bath, I've been like this for days.”
“Dinner would be fast so just endure.” Judy picked a perfume from the bag and they laughed.
She was finally dressed; she didn't bother to pack her hair up; she just let it down to cover her sweaty skin.
“You look beautiful,” Judy said and Rose smiled at her. ”Thank you.”
Judy handed over a book to Rose, it was already opened to page six.
“Dining rules.” Rose read it slowly and looked at Judy. “Seriously?” She lifted the book and laughed dryly.
“I just need you to glance through page 6 and 7 briefly, you'll read the rest later,” Judy said.
Rose's eyes scanned the page, as she hummed the words but paused at a particular sentence that caught her attention.
“Strangers (werewolves) must drink the reserved blood every Thursday.” Rose looked at Judy for an explanation.
“This is the same mess I've found myself in since three years of running into Lord Grim during an attack on my pack. We don't have a choice.” Judy said in defeat.
“No way. How does he expect me to…” Rose was still speaking when she turned to another page.
“Can we check that after dinner? It's two minutes to dinner time?” Judy said, glancing at her black wristwatch.
Rose turned the book to face Judy, “He's having sex with me?” She asked, the pitch of her voice rose at each word.
“Yes,” Judy replied coldly. “He didn't tell you?” Judy asked but Rose was too pissed off to reply.
“That's it!” Rose flung the book and stormed out of the room. She wasn't going to be a sex slave for this motherf*cker.
No never!

HYBRID: Between Love and Power My Fiancé is Back!
Chapter Eight “Where is this woman and what is taking her so long to get ready?” Grim wondered aloud.He had assigned her a maid to get ready and she still couldn't make it to the dinner table in time. A few seconds had clicked past the ten minutes he had given her to get ready.A maid volunteered to go check up on them.Grim groveled and was about to grant her request when Rose barged into the dining room.Her movement was rid of any grace or poise. She strode in like a woman on a mission and stopped in front of Grim!“You better have a reason for storming in here and you better have an even better reason why you are standing beside me with your breath fanning my face!”In the heat of her rage, Rose had forgotten the instruction Grim had dished to her the last time they met.“Do you know one mistake you should never make? Raising your voice at me, disobey

Chapter 9 The command was obeyed as swiftly as it was given. In a matter of seconds both her arms were held apart by two guard's and they dragged her back up the stairs. “Who is that commoner?” Feria asked, turning to look at Rose being dragged away. “She is no commoner. She is just a girl I picked up by the woods. She was naked and helped her in here. Don't worry about her.” Feria sat down to have a meal. She had just come from a long trip and her taste buds hadn't tasted good blood in a long while. She took a sip of the virgin blood Grim served her and suddenly her energy was refilled. “I saw her going toe to toe with you when I was walking in. What was that about?” “Nothing. Eat your food.” Feria too has sensed the power field around this woman. She could tell that Rose was no ordinary vampire. “Is she a werewolf?” She asked. “It's none of your business Feria. You should be worried more about getting your energy back because soon I have another mission for you,” Grim said

Chapter 10Grim grabbed a nearby garment and put it on. It wasn't until he was done that he acknowledged the other presence in the room. “Are you going to sit there and watch me get dressed or are you going to start stating your purposes?” “What the hell happened to you? You look like you have just seen a ghost.” Grim refused to pay him any attention. He still didn't understand what had happened between him and Rose earlier. The last person he wanted to confide in was Dale. “You better say what you have to or you can get out of here.” Dale studied Grim carefully. The last time he had seen his younger brother was when he had stormed out of the dining room in annoyance. Dale didn't bother stopping Grim because he knew where he was headed off to; to kill the guest. “Your teeth are not bloodied nor am I seeing pieces of meat. That means two things. Either you floss heavily on your way down here or you haven't had your meal. I know you don't floss so I'm going to go with the first

Chapter 11Rose didn't know what to make of what had just happened. One moment sharp claws had been wrapped around her neck and her life seemed like it was about to be drained from her. The next moment, the most ferocious leader she had heard of was fleeing from her. She had a billion questions. Was he reserving her for later? Has he scurried out of the room because of her stench? She hadn't showered for days so maybe that was what had repelled him. It was a bit embarrassing but it wasn't her fault nonetheless. The door to the room opened once more. Another figure emerged from the shadow. Rose thought Grim had returned but it turned out to be Judy. She walked in with a bowl of water and a towel. She crouched in front of Rose and began wiping off Rose's arms and legs. Rose sighed. “Did Grim send you to clean me up?” “No, I'm here because I know you didn't get the chance to have a shower. As for Lord Grim, I haven't seen him since he stormed out of the dining room.”“He just left

Chapter 12Rose stood up on command. It was not revealed to her where he was taking her to but she didn't stop to ask questions. The last time she had asked questions but didn't turn out well for her. Grim took her to his courtyard. He didn't want to be disturbed nor did he want anyone listening in to them and that was the only place he could think of. “Good morning, Lord Grim,” she greeted but Grim ignored her. She had spent the past night going through the rule book. It was stated in one of the pages that she was to address him as Lord Grim. “Sit down!” He ordered and she obeyed. “I have questions for you and you better give me the truth. Otherwise, you are not walking out of this courtyard in one piece.” Rose was confused. This time it wasn't from his sleepy eyes. However, she hadn't said a word. “What kind of sorcery are you practicing?” After his visit to the sorceress, he hadn't been able to get that question. A lot of revelations have been made and he wanted to confirm

Chapter 13 Last night had been a lot for Feria. When she had wanted to retire for the night, Grim was nowhere to be found. The last time she had seen him had been when he was racing after the new guest. There was something about the new werewolf that didn't sit right. Even Rose's scent was confusing. Feria had wanted to ask grim about it that night but he had come back late and had gotten up earlier than he usually did to see the same individual that he had dishes after last night.Something was fishy and Feria could smell it. She stopped him this morning and his reaction has confirmed her fears. “Why haven't you eaten the werewolf yet?” The look on his face had said it all. He had something to hide. “That's none of your business,” he had said. His willingness to dismiss the topic hadn't gone unnoticed by Feria. That could only mean one thing. She was about to make it her business. She had even tried to get answers from Judy but the servant had been reluctant to say anything.

Chapter 14 "She is gone."Those were the words that forced his eyes open. Everything in his life is carefully selected. Including his chambers, the placement of his bed, and the maidens responsible for cleaning but right now those two maidens have given themselves jobs of alarm clocks."Oh, Ash so I've heard! It is thrilling no one has ever attempted such madness."He really truly hates it when people are not focused on their jobs which results in gossiping. It is, even more, an offence that his own servants would gossip of his own kingdom in his room. “I think I just found my next two meals,” he thought to himself. Ash and the other girl whose name he was yet to learn."You call it thrilling?!" The other girl whispers and screams. "She is dead meat. Grim will kill her for sure and I assure you it will not be a pleasant death.""Hmm, you are right. But it still amazes me that she is so bold."Now his interest is piqued. Who was he killing ruthlessly and why?"Do you think Grim will

Chapter 15 "You may be cruel and ruthless, but you will not force your will or be cruel in my presence is that clear?"Grim did not answer. He hates the sorceress and will kill her the second he knows how."Is that clear?" The sorceress hissed, putting more pressure on his hands until bones broke all the up his arms."Yes," he groaned.The sorceress held his hand a second longer before releasing him. She turned to Rose who was watching her with eyes wide with wonder. She offered a small smile. "It was nice meeting you today Rosa, but you must go with him and stay with him. The streets of Nostville are unkind, I may not be able to reach you quickly next time."Rose nodded. "Oh and do not let Grim boss you around, he needs a strong hand."Rose almost laughed out loud. She will be her stand-up to Grim, at least not as this woman who said her name was Mary did. From would only crush her to dust but she didn't say so. She only nodded. "Thank you," she said to Mary.The sorceress winked a

HYBRID: Between Love and Power Challenging rulership
Chapter 78 This was the first time Lord Grim had come across his brother since he had walked in on the latter making love to Feria. He had intentionally avoided Dale. Even when he had walked into the courtyard, he had seen his brother but hadn't paid him any heed until now. “Step out of the way, Dale. This is not a matter for you to bother yourself with. The task I gave you, I’m yet to get any feedback from you.” The longer Grim stood closer to his brother, the harder it got for him to hold himself from giving the latter a nasty whooping. “How long are you going to keep covering for that fugitive? Is it until she puts Feria in a grave that her manipulative veil is going to fall off your eyes?” Dale thundered with rage. The crowd began whispering amongst themselves. The chaos had calmed, but the onlookers were still rowdy. Some who had just joined the group sought explanations, each reporter with a different narrative. “He is right, Alpha! We don't feel safe having her

Chapter 77Dale strapped his knife just before he stepped out. It was the most important part of his dressing. He didn't have a clue what he was going to encounter when he walked into the palace so all he could was be prepared. “You have no business going after her!” His wolf warned him. But once again he had turned a deaf ear. If she wasn't important to him, why then couldn't he stop thinking about her since she had walked out on him? He just wanted to talk to her, that's all. Well, that's a lie. This was a strange feeling. He had never craved more from women than lust. After he had finished mating, her presence only brought him irritation. He did away with women like he changed his clothes. Few eventually mustered the courage to walk away from him. Feria was the first woman who had walked away from him but she still resided in his heart. “You just need her to successfully get back at Grim!” That was the lie he had been telling himself. But it didn't take long for the truth to

Chapter 76 Rose backed away even further. She had no weapons on her so there was no trying to play defense. “Feria, please stop!” She cried out. “Look at you begging for mercy now. When you had your slimy disgusting tentacles all over my man trying to snatch him from me, hadn't I asked you to stop?”Feria had gone the easy way with a confrontation and had even tried the hard way. But Rose had been adamant. “You can't do this. Everyone will know that it's you.” Feria had just pulled up to a fistfight with a knife.“You think they would give a damn if a common maid shows up missing. The fact that you're a werewolf makes it even better. They are going to have a field day on your carcass.” “It's not going to play like that,” Rose insisted. “Even if you did have the might to kill me, you still wouldn't get Grim. What do you gain?” There was no remorse or sympathy in those dark eyes that stared back at Rose. All they knew was destruction! “I would finally be at rest knowing that I

Chapter 75Rose didn't know that a day would come when her shoulder would bring succor to Feria. Here she was on her shoulder softly sobbing. But that didn't bother her as much as the message she had just received. Everything she had just built up—the love, the trust—came down in rubble in a few seconds. Rubbles. Huge grainy rubbles which sank to the bottom of her heart and made it ache. Just a day ago, she was happy that the winds of fate had swept her all the way out to Nostville. But right now, she wished she could take back every life decision she made that brought her here in the first place. But it was too late. She had already fallen deep into the trap that had been laid for her by Grim. Her thigh had been caught in the sharpened teeth and no matter which way she chose to go, the pain was equally worse; whether it was back to him or as far away from him as possible. “What a time to be in love! The worst of times. I wish I had never met that man. I wish he had never rescued

Chapter 74"That's not true. Grim is not a womanizer!" Rose defended.That was what she assured herself; her belief was her greatest hope. If only hope were a currency, she would have bought her desired reality.Feria puckered mockingly. "Oh no, are you about to cry? Is the truth too bitter for you to handle?"It was too heavy to digest, and Rose didn't accept that it was the truth."You are renowned for being crazy. Why would I believe a word that comes from your lips?" Rose barked.The smirk didn't leave Feria's face. She inched closer to her enemy—far enough for comfort but close enough for a whisper."Call me crazy, call me anything you like. The truth is the truth. Can you keep a secret?" she whispered in a low, inviting tone.Rose nodded, curiosity eating her up."You're not the only one."Rose gasped, her grip growing tighter, her knuckles begging to stay colored. "Stop feeding me lies, Feria.""I could give you a whole list. There have been a thousand before you who have graze

Chapter 73 The yard was quiet. There was a single stone slab wedged into a wall in the cinder, and that was where Rose was planted. It didn't offer her comfort. But she wasn't out here in need of leisure. She was hiding… from Grim. The only comfort was that she was not alone. Sitting just beside her sat Judy. “I can't believe he would leave me for her just like that. After he claimed they were not together, he didn’t hesitate before pushing me to the side.” “Don't jump to conclusions, Rose. I'm sure there is something important that they had to discuss.” “Something important?” Rose snapped. “Too important that I had to be kept out of it? I'm telling you, this doesn't feel right.” Judy sighed. Changing Rose's mind was a challenging task, and she had been at it for minutes without any progress. “Then give him a listening ear at least. He has been looking all over for you. It's time you let me tell him where you are.” Judy was exhausted from having to duck Lord Grim. Th

Chapter 72Dale sat outside his chambers trying to catch some of that afternoon breeze. A jug filled to the brim with root beer sat on the arm of his chair.He hummed, staring into the distance. He had just come out of his inner compartment and stared into the distance.The sky was clear and so were his thoughts. His plans were playing out accordingly. Nothing could go wrong. Even the sky was in concord with his heart. The sun stood tall watching over the dry land and they looked to be no trouble heading his way. Then he looked a little further and the horizon showed him the trouble coming his way with alarming speed. It was a car that made him sit up and reach for the weapon strapped to his belt. It screeched to a violent stop in front of the porch, lifting lazy dust into the air. He had to shield his eyes and nose as the car door opened. The door popped open and Feria walked out. “Slow down. You should not be making such a noisy entrance. Have you forgotten that you're supposed
HYBRID: Between Love and Power Feria Exposed
Chapter 71Rose couldn't hide it anymore. They had barely gotten intimate for more than three days and she was already eager to tell the entire world that she was in love with Lord Grim. The icing on the cake? They were fated to be together from the beginning of time.Something is going on between them. Everywhere Grim is, Rose is always around. They would spend time together even in public. There were no public displays of affection but anyone watching both of them could tell that something was going on between of them. No one dared to bother them. Regardless of how onlookers thought about Lord Grim going about town with another woman other than Feria, they kept it themselves. Most of them loved seeing Rose anyway. Aside from the misgivings of her being an outcast, she was a much better choice than Feria who would rather kill them than be nice. However, one of the bunch of witnesses couldn't keep her thoughts to herself. It was Feria. She spent more time with Dale than before.

Chapter 70Grim didn't want her to go through so much danger just to rescue him. He appreciated her willingness to go out of her way and help her but he couldn't bring himself to let her jump into the forest all alone. He looked over at her. There was so much determination in those eyes. He wished she would channel it into something else. He didn't deserve her, he was well aware of that. After all the hurt and pain he had caused her. He couldn't allow her to risk losing her life over trying to save her. He didn't notice that he was staring hard until Rose pointed it out. She grabbed his chin gently and dropped a peck. “You don't have to worry about this. I got it.” He wanted to find a way to shut her down before she let herself make a decision that might mess up the rest of her life. “Your mother is not what you expect, Rose. She might attack and cause harm to you even though you're her daughter. She is way more powerful than you.” “She is my mother. She might hurt anyone but
