Dahlia is the Queen of the Spirit Fey Court. Jude is a Hybrid with a chip on his shoulder. When the two are together, sparks fly but that doesn't mean everyone around them likes the sparks they see. Picking up from the meeting of Jude and Isa in the first Vella book "The Witch & The Hybrid" follow the story of Jude and Dahlia.

Chapter 1 1 - Dahlia

Tonight had been an odd night. Isa and Jude, brothers. It made me vaguely recall running into Jude back in ISOA days but... He looked a lot different. Acted a lot different too. Time sure did take its toll on people. Now they were both over here seeming to argue which was not what I signed up for tonight. At least I cloud see the beginning signs of it starting, having my own sibling made it that much easier to spot. Glancing at the girl as she asked for a drink I gave her a bright smile ignoring the two boys.

"I got you, don't worry." I said to her, she was pretty.

Dark hair, natural beauty to her. She seemed to have a bit of spice to her as well, given the attitude she'd thrown already. I had to say? I liked her. Looking back at Jude though I gave him a look as if saying he'd lost his fucking mind which really? I felt like he had just lost his damn mind, there were a few things I wanted to say but getting involved in any form of family affairs was not something I wanted to do and something that i knew better than attempting to ever do.

Isa had said something didn't he? Right, Pyro. I glanced at him. "Pyro, right," I said slowly. "Oh wait, Pyro! Of course! He's your nephew!" I said and looked at Jude right after. "Jesus you two act alike how did I never stop and think about it...."

Shaking my head I started walking away, and found Pyro quickly. Isa wasn't able to stay with everything going on, so I needed to tell Pyro so he could tell Alexion. Finding him I relayed the message quickly and then watched as he looked over my shoulder towards where they were sitting and somehow managed to turn even paler than he was before taking off. Right, well then... I started on the girls drink and as soon as I was done walked back to the area and slid it to her.

"I'm just going to throw my two cents in here for you at least..." I said to her, leaning against the bar top. "But, if Isa ever thought of you as nothing more than a one night stand? He'd never check here to see if you stopped by. He does it, daily. Believe me."

Isa looked at me almost dumbfounded before looking at Jude, something was said before I heard a growl of. "Don't fuck with me right now, I barely have patience for you as it is." Christ, they were horrible right now.

Jude's smirk seemed to fall away from his face as he heard my voice, staring straight at me before looking back to Isa. "Wait, Pyro's my what?" He asked slowly, his brows knitting together. "That kid? Figures... What the hell did I do?"

Noticing the look in Isa's eyes he simply laughed, god I hated my job some nights. I loved these two to death to varying degrees but this was a lot.

"Do you think your little wolf scares me, f*cker?" He snapped at Isa.

"Enough you two!" I snapped. "Calm the f*ck down!"

"Go console your little one night f*ck and leave me the hell alone."

I was going to scream. I really was going to just scream in a second from these two.

"I'm not a slut..." The girl said slowly and I looked over at her, of course she was in on it now too. "And I look younger than I am. I could crush you if I really wanted to, you know. I play with the dark arts, what was your name? Jude?"

I pinched the bridge of my nose as I listened to the three of them, this was actually getting beyond out of hand. I heard the sigh of the girl before looking up at her and seeing her smiling sweetly at me. "Can I have another, please? I'll probably take it to another table."

I saw her eyes immediately avert and linger on Isa after, soon a blush seemed to creep along her cheeks and she looked anywhere but him. Despite the stupidity going on, this part of it was adorable. They needed to talk.

Opening my mouth to speak, I felt a faint pain stab my abdomen and then my head before it was entirely gone. Flinching from the pain, I blinked my eyes a few times and watched as Isa's fist slammed into Jude's face before he grabbed him by the front of his shirt. Nope. No. This was not happening in my bar. Groaning, I made the girl another drink and slid it to her before raising my hands and flinging them in different directions watching as they were both ripped apart from one another immediately. Folding my arms over my chest I glared at the pair.

This was beyond stupid at this point, they were acting like literal children. It was almost embarrassing how childish they were acting and over what? Their egos? F*cking men. They were lucky I liked either of them because had they been anyone else I would've thrown them out already.

"Isa, I'm going to say this once. Go somewhere, until you are calm enough to think straight." I snapped at him, pointing away and then set my eyes on Jude. "And you, come with me."

I let out a sigh and came out from behind the bar, making my way away from it with a beer in hand towards a booth in the far, back corner away from everyone else. Pyro came from Alexion's office, seeing me and I gave him an apologetic look before gesturing to the men and he only motioned for me to go. At least he understood.

Was this how these two always were? Ready to go at one anothers throats for any given reason they could rationalize?

Hopefully if Isa got away from him and just cleared his mind things would work out a little easier and maybe then he could speak to that girl. Zen, I think I heard be used for a name. As for Jude though, I had to hope maybe if we got out of that situation he'd calm down a little himself and not be so... rude? I didn't know any other way to explain how he was acting.

He was being extremely asshole like towards his brother though and seemed to be having fun with it which only got under my skin more. Because, with me, he never acted that way. I didn't want it to turn out that how he was with me was a lie or something, I didn't think it was so as quickly as the thought came to mind I shrugged it off.

Getting into the booth, I let the curtain fall back over, blocking any eyes from us and vice versa as I waited for him to get in as well. It was a privacy booth. In a place like this there were many different uses for it but right now the main use was going to be me getting to understand what the f*ck was going on in his head or trying to.

Hell, they had me worked up even. I never was this anxious or annoyed. Maybe I needed it just as much.

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

I woke up on silk sheets that smelled of expensive cedar and cold sandalwood, a world away from my cramped apartment in Brooklyn. Beside me lay Ezra Gardner—my boss, the billionaire CEO of Gardner Holdings, and the man who could end my career with a snap of his fingers. He didn’t offer an apology for the night before; instead, he looked at me with terrifying clarity and proposed a cold, calculated business arrangement. "Marriage. It stabilizes the board and solves the PR crisis before it begins." He dressed me in archival Chanel and sent me home in his Maybach, but my life was already falling apart. My boyfriend, Irving, claimed he had passed out early, yet his location data placed him at my best friend’s apartment until three in the morning. When I tried to run, I realized Ezra was already ten steps ahead, tracking my movements and uncovering the secret I’d spent twenty years hiding: my connection to the powerful Senator Grimes. I was trapped between a CEO who treated me like a line item on a quarterly report and a boyfriend who had been using me while sleeping with my closest friend. I felt like a pawn in a game I didn't understand, wondering why a man like Ezra would walk up forty flights of stairs on a broken leg just to make sure I was safe. "Showtime, Mrs. Gardner." Standing on the red carpet in a gown that cost more than my life, I watched my cheating ex-boyfriend’s face turn pale as Ezra claimed me in front of the world. I wasn't just an assistant anymore; I was a weapon, and it was time to burn their world down.

I lay paralyzed on stiff white sheets, a prisoner in my own skin, listening to the rain lash against the window like nails on a coffin. My father, Elmore Franco, didn't even look at my face as he checked his clipboard. He just listened to the steady, monotonous beep of the heart monitor-the only thing proving I was still alive. Without a hint of remorse, he pulled a pen from his pocket and signed the Do Not Resuscitate order. My stepmother, Ophelia, stepped out from behind him, wearing my favorite pearl necklace and smelling of cloying perfume. She leaned close to my ear to whisper the truth that turned my blood to ice. "It was the tea, darling. Just like your mother. A slow, tasteless poison." She chuckled as she revealed that my fiancé, Bryce, had a two-year-old son with my sister, Daniela. My inheritance had been funding their secret life for years, and now that the money was secure, I was an inconvenience they were finally scrubbing away. As my father yanked the power cord from the wall, the beeping died, and the darkness swallowed me whole. I was being murdered by my own flesh and blood, used as a bank account until I was no longer needed. I died in that sterile room, drowning in the realization that every person I ever loved was a monster who had been waiting for me to take my last breath. Then, I gasped. I woke up in a luxury hotel suite surrounded by silk sheets, five years in the past-the very morning of my wedding. Next to me lay Basile Delgado, the "Wolf of Wall Street" and my family's most dangerous enemy. In my first life, I ran from this room in a panic and lost everything. This time, I looked at the man who would eventually destroy my father's empire and decided to join him. "I'm not leaving, Basile. Marry me. Right now. Today."
