This book will contain side stories happening after the end of "Crazy Duke and Fallen Queen". If you haven't read that one, I suggest you do before starting the [Side Stories] tome. Reasons to do this are mostly of technical nature. I can't add side stories to the main novel anymore, so I will be writing them here. I will keep the chapters free. If you've stumbled upon this and are curious, I suggest you go read Crazy Duke and Fallen Queen first. If you're coming from the main novel, welcome and have a good time! *** Contacts (for explanations and complaints): xiaohai#6804 on Discord.

Once upon a time, in a land far away, named Oscanda, the territory was subdivided into three realms named Bazova, Arand, and Lanir. The rigidly uncompromising rulers of these lands were from three different subspecies, called vampires, wolf shifters, and humans.

Adria was on the verge of getting her life together, just about. She was ready to move out from her sister's house and live... Except a bunch of mafia werewolves just sort of barrel into her life and she somehow becomes a nanny? How? How bad can her luck screw her over? Adria wants a god dammed holiday, with a book in a hut in the middle of no-where! Author here darlings. I just realised I'm one of those assholes who never tag important shit like trigger warnings. To anyone out there suffering from depression, eating disorder, or has been in the type of violent and brutal situation at the beginning of the story. Pleaseee, please drop this work as soon as you find any discomfort because from personal experience - it sucks. I read something pretty bad that messes me up big time and it took me 2 weeks to recalibrate. So just be aware that the beginning is heavy and the onset is more action focused/fluffy kids moments and romance. I'll try to add the rougher PARTS in ways that won't leave a lasting effect. Love from your author.
