Taehyung's POV

Alone. That's all I've been for the past two years. I had a pride of my own but I lost to a rookie. How? You might ask. Well that's easy, he was just stronger than me. I mean, it's not like I didn't try to win, I heard he is weak in his right arm because of me, but that doesn't mean I wasn't hurt like him.

My left leg is permanently fucked. My hip was smash in more places then one. My stomach has scars all over, including my legs and chest. I should've died, somehow I didn't. I knew I was going to die if I kept fighting so I gave. I know, it was weak of me. A true lion would fight for what is his.

Let me explain. Where I live, people have animal counterparts. The only animal with no human abilities, or haven't evolved, are the sea creatures. I myself am a lion, male. My lion is blonde so not much Lioness like that. They go for darker toned males. My pride were just desperate for a leader, plus I was born into the pride so I was meant to be the king for them.

When a male lion crosses paths with another, especially when he doesn't have a pride of his own, they can fight the king to take their place. One rule is, the lionesses cannot interfere. The thing is, the male who took my pride already knew so much about me, from my name to who I mated with. It was kinda creepy, actually. In the end, he took my lionesses, all of them. Not one chose to stay by my side.

The fight lasted a few hours before I gave up. By that time blood was seeping throughout my body, my leg was immobile, and my stamina was gone. We fought in our animal form, so the wounds didn't kill me as quickly as it should've if I was still human. It sucks to lose.

A pack of German shepherds found my dying body and brought me to a hospital. I say, dogs are helpful creatures. A nice female bear hybrid nursed me back to health, the best she could at least. She was the one who told me my left leg will cause me problems, it's broken beyond repair. I'm a crippled lion without a pride. The Shepherds might as well have left me there to die, I will anyways.

Around the city of Seoul, every animal has a territory. I lost mine, now I have to be careful where I step and not cross paths with a pride, pack, or herd. Trust me, an injured lion stepping into a herd of antelopes, never again am I doing that, fuck that shit. Herbivores or not, every type of animal here are blood thirsty.

I did manage to find a safe, unclaimed territory that I call home. Don't get too excited, it's just a back alley. And a box. Other than that, home sweet home, right?

....I'm a disgrace of a lion. I lost everything in a span of two years. Now I'm homeless/Prideless, no food, no strength, no friends, I'm a dead man. That's for sure.

This is just the start, the chapters will get longer I promise.

Anyways, a new chapter will be posted, but instead of POVs it will most likely just be in 3rd. Just to make it easier to write.
