Cater, a hybrid hiding his demon-vampire blood, lives as a servant in Avalor’s palace, where King Arthur hunts all supernaturals. When a prophecy names Cater as the only one who can protect Prince Alric from a looming darkness, he must risk revealing his secret. As danger rises and forbidden feelings grow, Cater and Alric must fight together to save the kingdom—or lose everything.

Hybrid's Secret: Protecting the Crowned Enemy

Eric moved swiftly toward Alric, his blade raised, ready to strike.

Alric dodged, rolling under the attack and swinging his sword low, aiming for Eric's legs.

With a satisfied smirk, Alric stood back up, expecting to see Eric injured—but his breath caught in his throat when he saw Eric standing perfectly still, unfazed, as if nothing had happened.

"I guess you missed, Your Highness," Eric said, amusement lacing his tone.

Alric gritted his teeth, gripping his sword tightly.

"So much for fighting without using powers," he spat. "I should've known. A monster like you would never fight fair."

Eric took a slow step forward, his smile never fading, his eyes hool evil as he stared at Alric.

"Well, I guess you're finally learning," he taunted. "A demon can never be trusted. And since the demon prince isn't here, I think it's time I end you—quickly."
