A Governess for the Chimera Lord
(2026)(The ninth book in the Married and Pregnant Monster Shorts series)
A Story by Jade Swallow
A desperate governess. A monstrous lord. A kiss that ignites their souls.
To escape a forced marriage to a lecherous and abusive baronet, Clara Penhaligon (22) flees into the fog of the Blackwood Moors, taking up the job of a governess for the nine-year-old daughter of an Earl. It is only when she arrives at Malphas Hall, does she realize that the reclusive Lord Aurelion is no ordinary aristocrat. He is a Chimera with the golden eyes of a lion, the wings of a nightmare, and a venomous serpent for a tail; a beast feared by the very society he leads. A widower and recluse, he needs a governess for his half-human daughter, and she is happy to do the job in exchange for safety. Even as Clara comes to like her new half-monster charge, a girl of extraordinary intelligence and curiosity, she finds herself attracted to her mysterious, cloaked employer who never reveals his full form.
Until Clara stumbles into him in the library one night, his full monster form on display. He expects her to scream. To run. To beg for her life. But, she isn’t terrorized by the chimera lord. Instead, she is attracted to the majestic, powerful beast who rules Malphas Hall. One thing leads to another, ending in a soul-shattering kiss in the dark of the library that changes everything, shattering the boundaries of master and servant. Aurelion wants to claim his human governess and initiate her into the world of pleasure. He doesn’t stop until he stretches her, to knots her, and to fills her with his monster babies, giving Clara the protection she’s always wished for. Soon, she is slipping through the silent halls every night to reach Aurelion’s chambers, trading her Victorian primness for the raw, primal heat of his bed. And with every night, she’s falling deeper. Her monster lord is everything she has wished for, her family in a true sense.
But when her past threatens to destroy her happiness, she must decide between her fears and her growing feelings for the chimera lord. Clara came to Malphas Hall to save her life, but she might just lose her soul to the monster who owns the moors.
