🪞 Some reflections don't just watch—they claim. 🐍

Nyari survived dragonfire. She endured the drowned god's flood. But when the venom starts burning through her veins and her reflection begins to smile with a mouth that isn't hers, she realizes the mirror realm has been watching all along.

And it's hungry.

The Hydra doesn't ask permission. It doesn't need to. With three serpentine heads that exist between worlds, it offers what neither dragon nor deity can provide: relief from the venom coursing through her blood—at a price measured in marks, shadows, and the slow dissolution of reality itself.

Every time Nyari crosses into the mirror realm, she leaves a little more of herself behind. Her reflection moves independently. Her shadow splits into three. And the bite marks glowing on her skin aren't just scars—they're tethers, pulling her deeper into a hollow where water tastes of old magic and pleasure comes with fangs.

Vaerith can burn through stone and reshape reality with dragonfire, but he can't fight what lives in reflections. He can't protect her from the venom that makes her crave the very creature claiming her. And when she's pulled fully into the Hydra's domain—trapped between worlds while three mouths worship her body with ruthless precision—his only choice is to follow her into the dark.

But some claims can't be broken. Some marks never fade. And some hungers only grow stronger the more you feed them.

As Nyari transforms between fire and water, dragon and serpent, reality and reflection, a new threat emerges. Something that makes even the Hydra go still with wariness. Something wearing a mask and laughing behind the glass.

Because in the Bondlands, every supernatural force wants a piece of the woman who bridges worlds. And the mirror realm? It's always open.

🔥 What awaits in The Hydra's Hollow: 🔥

✨ Three serpentine heads, three claiming mouths, three shadows that follow ✨ Venom that transforms and addicts—pleasure as poison, poison as pleasure ✨ Mirror realm horror where reflections act independently and reality fractures ✨ Desperate dragonfire vs. ancient water magic—Vaerith's breaking point ✨ Triple penetration scene that defies physics and sanity ✨ A mate caught between worlds, slowly becoming something other ✨ Primal claiming and possessive dragon desperate to keep what's slipping away ✨ The introduction of a NEW threat that terrifies even gods ✨ Spicy 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ (seriously, darken the room and lock the door)

This is Book 3 in the Halloween Spin-Off series that bridges the gap between Damn, I F**ked a Dragon Book 3 and the upcoming Book 4. Each Halloween novella can be enjoyed on its own, but together they weave a tapestry of supernatural claims that will leave Nyari forever changed.
