“Princess Sofina… are you all right?”The voice cut through the fog in her head.Sofina blinked hard. Her vision swam, then snapped into focus. An elderly man stood over her, tall and broad, his presence heavy and imposing.“I’ve already administered the antidote,” he said calmly. “You should be regaining clarity by now.”She flexed her fingers. Then her arms. The burning heat was gone. The overwhelming urge had vanished. Her body answered her again, fully under her control.Her heart slammed as she turned her head.Count Lorenz lay sprawled on the floor.Blood pooled beneath him, dark and spreading. There was no movement. No breath.He was unmistakably dead.“Who are you?” Sofina asked, her voice tight.The old man stepped back and bowed deeply. “Princess Sofina. You activated the emergency signal. I came immediately to secure your safety.”“Emergency signal?” Her eyes dropped to the bracelet on her wrist.She didn’t remember pressing anything.But fragments rushed back—panic, raw fe

Sofina’s skin burned as if fire ran beneath it. Heat pooled low in her body, fierce and humiliating, stealing her breath.What was happening to her?A terrifying thought slammed into her mind.Did Count Lorenz drug her?She looked at Count Lorenz, and without warning a violent urge surged through her—to want him, to crave him, to have sex with him—this middle-aged man who was objectively ugly, yet twisted by her thoughts into a handsome prince.She understood it then.Her mind had been compromised.Sofina tried to stand, forcing her palms against the armrest. Her legs buckled instantly.They felt weak, useless, like they no longer belonged to her. From the way her body refused to obey, escape was impossible. She was trapped.Watching her struggle, Count Lorenz smiled.It was slow. Satisfied.“Miss Wolfsbane,” he said smoothly, his voice thick with delight. “Everyone in Winchester calls you the most beautiful woman alive. Your reputation is legendary. Truly.” His eyes roamed over her w

In another place, Katarina sat with her father, Otto Rosenheim, inside a study.Otto leaned back in his chair, his fingers steepled.“Have you successfully taken Heinrich out of prison?” he asked calmly.“Yes,” Katarina replied without hesitation. “If nothing goes wrong, he’ll be released in a few days.”She paused, then added, “Father, Count Lorenz just messaged me. He has Sofina—the wife of that Alex bastard.”Otto didn’t even blink. He gave a slow, indifferent nod.“Tell him to kill the woman.”Katarina frowned slightly. “What’s your plan?”“Katarina,” Otto said coldly, “in the past, Marquis Saint-Claire and his entire family were destroyed because they offended someone far more powerful than they ever should have.”Katarina’s lips slowly curled into a knowing smile.“More powerful than a Marquis…” she said softly. “Then it has to be a Duke, right? One of the great Dukes who hates Alex Saint-Claire.”“You don’t need to know who,” Otto said coldly. “All you need to understand is thi

The moment Renata vowed to destroy the Wolfsbane family, the room froze.Every member of the Wolfsbane household stood stunned, their minds blank.Baroness Wolfsbane felt the blood drain from her face. She had come here to force Gerhard into becoming Duke Winter’s son-in-law—not to invite Duke Winter’s wrath and wipe her family off the map.Her voice trembled as she spoke, trying to salvage what little control she had left.“Renata, please don’t be like this. You are Sofina’s best friend. You should be kind to Gerhard.”Renata’s eyes turned icy.“Kind?” she snapped, spitting straight into Gerhard’s face. “Kind to the man who nearly got me killed?”Her voice dropped, sharp and venomous. “I don’t want to be kind. I want to destroy the entire Wolfsbane family. Because of him. So—what are you going to do about it?”“Renata!” Baron Wolfsbane growled, rage surging through him. How dare this woman threaten the Wolfsbane name so openly?But Renata no longer paid him any attention.She lifted

Renata walked forward despite the pain burning through her body. Each step sent a sharp ache through her hips, but she didn’t slow down. She stared straight into the eyes of the young man who had tried to rape her.“Remember my face,” she said coldly. “Remember what you tried to do to me.”She drove the knife into another man’s stomach.“This is the karma you earned.”She moved down the line, stabbing them one by one. Her voice stayed steady, flat, terrifying.“Remember the price of touching a duke’s daughter.”“Please—please,” one man sobbed, his voice breaking. “I don’t want to die.”Renata’s eyes filled with tears, but her hand didn’t shake.“Neither do I,” she said quietly. “I didn’t want to die either. But you forced your hands on me. You chose this first. I’m only finishing it.”Another man was stabbed. None of them could move. An invisible pressure wrapped around their bodies, paralyzing them with pure fear—Alex’s unseen force holding every one of them completely still.“No—ple

There is a common saying that women’s preferences often change with age.In their late teens and early twenties, many women focus on attraction and excitement. Looks, confidence, and charm matter most.In their twenties to early thirties, attraction is still important, but money, stability, and future plans start to matter more.In their thirties to early forties, many women value a calm and stable life. Kindness, reliability, and emotional support become more important than wealth or status.From the forties onward, companionship matters most. Many women want a caring, loyal partner to share life with peacefully.Men, however, are a different species entirely.Their preferences come with a lifetime subscription and no updates.In their early twenties, they like young and beautiful women.In their thirties, nothing changes. In their forties, still the same.In their fifties? No difference.And right up until the day they die, many men are still looking at the same type and saying, Yep
