NARRATOR'S P.O.V

Birds tweeted in the town of Shivalaya. The day was quite clement. A soft breeze rustled the trees and beautiful blossoms beautify the town even further. The women can be seen gathering the fragrant blooms in their baskets. A litter of stray puppies can be seen play fighting among themselves. People walked in the warm sunshine. The native townsfolk can be spotted engrossed in the carnival preparations. The rides were being set up in the carnival ground and the young girls and lads were too occupied in the decorations. Their was vaguely more bustle in the town than the other ordinary days, as an outcome of the carnival. The bakers and confectioners were engrossed in preparing sweets and cakes. Delicious aroma of freshly cooked porridge wafted out from the local diner. The youngsters played together in the carnival ground as their parents and elder siblings prepared for the carnival. The townsfolk seemed happy and contented, needless to say exuberant too. Nevertheless the biggest reason behind this utmost happiness and contentment was that, that the diabolical king has accepted the carnival invitation. That's another thing that Mr Suri and Mr Murli had to fall on his feet and beg for accepting the invitation. Howbeit both the gentleman had not apprised anyone in the town that how they compelled the diabolical king to accept the invitation.

Sharanya sat inside her room, gazing outside the window. The beautiful outlook of the mountains and the warm sunshine of the Sun, was ample for her eyes to feel pleased. She wrapped her arms around herself and sighed. It has been days since she had walked in the warm sunshine. Besides her everlasting love for the mountains and not being able to roam freely inside the town was escalating her agony and helplessness. She longed to amble along the riverbank, ramble in the meadows and gaze at the mountains from her home's garden. The town was doubtlessly enchanting but sadly she couldn't relish the greenery of the town. Needless to say that it was all because of the Dark King. The monster who claims to love her yet keeps her immured inside his castle. For her this wasn't a castle but a cage. A cage where she shall always remain trapped with zero hopes to escape.
"Good morning queen. " a familiar timid voice appeared from behind. She turned back to find the omega female standing behind her. She had an accustomed smile on her face yet her face yelled sadness. Sharanya could easily make out from her puckered face that she was outright sad and bothered regarding something.
"Morning. " she replied softly with a smile on her pretty lips. The omega female smiled back and began do the bed. A sigh escaped sharanya's lips as she looked outside the window, wanting to get immersed in the beauty of the town. This was perhaps the only way for her to forget her agony.
"Lord really loves you queen. " the omega female said in a barely audible voice. Sharanya turned to look at her.
"And how can you say that. " she asked looking at her. The female sighed.
"I saw in his eyes. He truly loves you. " she said softly. Sharanya looked away. Howbeit something in her told her that she is correct. Besides it wasn't wrong altogether. He did loved her madly, she won't repudiate that, yet he is keeping her immured inside his castle. He has snatched her freedom and virtue, she can't reciprocate his feelings nohow. Nevertheless her heart felt pity on him everytime she rejected his love.
"He has raped me. " she said looking down.
"To save your life queen. Besides tell me has he ever tried to touch you or copulate with you since the full moon night or before that. " the female asked. Sharanya opened her mouth to utter something yet the words seemed to defy her. Abruptly she realised that she doesn't had anything to say anyways. The female was correct, the Dark King neither his beast has ever tried to forcibly copulate with her, except for the full moon night. Besides the castle king had ne'er laid a finger on her in an immoral way.
"I know you have nothing to say Queen. And I also know that why you won't accept him. Because he isn't a human but a werewolf. But queen this is how he was born, he can't change himself nohow. What's his fault in that.??? You are chosen as his mate by the moon goddess, what's his fault in that.??? He is trying everything to win your love. Is this his fault.??? " the female said looking at her. Sharanya wasn't able to look into her honest eyes hence she looked away. Every single word she said was outright true. The Dark King loved her truly yet she rejected his love only because he was a werewolf, not a human. She ne'er even tried to understand his feelings. Nor she even bothered how her hateful words effected him. The only thing she cared about was herself. Her heart was yelling at her for being so selfish chiefly to a man who wanted nothing besides her love.
"I don't know how to complicate things. I will just simply say that your constant rejection breaks him. And we werewolves cannot bear the hatred of our mates. Because unlike humans we don't know how to pretend to be in love. He is an Alpha king, the strongest creature on this earth. But you know the monster dies not by the guns but with a heartbreak. Remember, it's not the bullets who kill the beast, it's the beauty who does. " the female said looking at her as she turned her heels and egress outside leaving a shocked and wretched sharanya alone. She sat on the settee with a thud. All the things which the omega female said was constantly going inside her head. Her words pierced through her heart like an arrow. She had always listened to her mind and abhor him howbeit today her mind was saying nothing. It felt her mind had gone blank. Only the voice of her heart was reaching her and it yelled for her to repent for being so selfish.

Sharanya descended downstairs and reached the hall of the castle. She looked around for the castle king but sadly he was nowhere to be located. She pouted as she gazed around. Howbeit a faint sound of footsteps reached her ears. Her lips curled upwards as she thought that it was the Dark King. Nevertheless turning back she was greeted with the Dark King's most faithful man rather than the Dark King.
"Queen what are you doing here. " Dravid asked agape as he sprinted towards her and stood at least 20 steps away from her.
"Umm I was searching for Mr Singhala. Have you seen him.!!!" she asked softly. Dravid chuckled.
"Oh Lord.!!! Yes he is near the swimming pool. " Dravid apprised her with a huge grin plastered on his face.
"Thank you. " she said with a smile. Dravid gazed around agape.
"You will get me killed queen.!! If Lord will hear you thanking me than trust me I will not be able to see next day's sunshine. " Dravid said agape. She giggled as she started to proceed towards the swimming pool. She walked inside the corridor and reached the swimming pool. Looking around she found the Dark King sitting near the swimming pool, his feet dipped in water. She walked towards him. Howbeit when she was just few steps away from him, she heard him sobbing. Her heart clenched seeing him like this. Besides the fact that she was the reason for his sobs wretched her even further. She felt pity on him and furious at herself. She slowly walked towards him and sat beside him, dipping her feet inside the swimming pool. He felt someone's presence beside him. Turning his head to his side, he saw the love of his life sitting beside him, her eyes down. He quickly wiped his tears and put on a smile.
"Oh sharanya.!!! I thought you were still asleep. " he said with a sniff as he looked at her. She didn't had the courage to look at him. Perhaps because she had already hurted him so much.
"You were crying. " she asked fiddling her fingers. He wiped the corner of his eyes.
"No, why would I cry. " he chuckled. Sharanya looked at him to find his eyes bloodshot and his nose red, as an outcome of his sobbing.
"You are a bad liar. " she said looking down. He lips curled upwards in a sad smile. He was sobbing, but he didn't wanted her to know that. He didn't wanted to bother her. Besides he knew his tears had no worth in her life, so why to bother her unnecessarily.
"Um......Something......Something just went in my eyes. Just forget it, not a big deal. You tell me, did you had your breakfast. And what are you doing here. " he asked with a smile. She toyed with the hem of her skirt as she looked up at him.
"Can't I come here. " she asked softly.
"Of course you can. " he said with a smile. She sighed. Even though she hurted him so much yet he loved her madly. She was outright mortified and furious at herself for acting so impudently and badly with him.
"So you were telling me about your family last night. " she said trying to initiate a conversation. He was rather perplexed at her sudden change in the behaviour. Unlike other days, she was acting more friendly with him. Not that he was complaining though. Besides a tiny bit of affection from her was enough for him.
"What will you do after learning about my family, little one. " he chuckled. She narrowed her lids at him.
"Why do you have to ask questions all the time. When I said that I want to know about your family, than you can just tell me rather than ask me more questions. " she pouted folding her arms. He chuckled as he kept his palm on his cheek. She looked too damn adorable. He badly wanted to kiss her yet he controlled his hormones.
"OK so my father is not a werewolf...." she cut in.
"What!!!! Than how are you a werewolf. " she asked agape. He chuckled.
"Ok so let me start from the beginning. I am the son of the ruler of the hell. The King of hell is my real father. Nevertheless the Moon Goddess had a personal grudge against my father. So she abducted me and transformed me into a werewolf. My father came to know about it and hence he decided to rage a war against the Gods. Howbeit the Gods feared that this might lead to the destruction of the earth and hence they decided to make a deal with the demons. They blessed me with unmatchable powers and gave a boon of immortality to me. They assured my father that his son shall have no trouble on the earth and will rule over the earth. My father reluctantly agreed to their demands yet kept a condition that he will keep on meeting me. The issue was 'peacefully' solved. The moon goddess gave me to my 'foster' parents. They were the king and queen of this small town. Some years past by, I grew up with my new family. My father though always despised me as I was more powerful than him. I didn't uttered a word as I always respected him. But one day I came to know about my real identity. I was furious with moon goddess for snatching my family from me. In rage, I called my real father and asked him to rage a war with gods. Howbeit he denied and said that he wants to see me rule the earth. And that's precisely what I did. " he narrated the whole history of his life to her. She was outright shocked after hearing that. He was snatched from his family, perhaps that's why he became stone hearted.
"But how did you became the Dark King. " she asked curiously. His eyes seemed to have fire in them as he stared in the front with his jaw clenched.
"Urvashi. " he muttered as he balled his fists. She furrowed her brows. Who was he talking about.!!! Was she her wife.!!!!
"Your wife. " she asked looking at him. He lightly shook his head.
"My sister. The only person on this earth who loved me as I was. My beloved sister. One day she was walking through the jungle when a group of human males encircled her. Urvashi couldn't shift in her wolf as she was not 18. The man started to rush towards her like a predator. They tried to remove her clothes but urvashi had a boon given to her by the God of fire. She could ignite fire where ever she wanted. She remembered the Fire God and in no time a ring of fire was created around her, prohibiting those monsters to even touch her. The men ran away scared but urvashi felt humiliated. For her, her body was now of no worth as she was touched by filthy males. She asked the Fire God to succumb her into fire. My beloved sister, succumbed to the fire, leaving me all alone in this world. Urvashi's demise broke me from inside. I was burning with rage and thus I decided to show the humans their places. That peaceful treaty between the humans and the werewolves was no longer worth. I let my inner beast unleash and take revenge against the humans. And that's when people entitled me as 'The Dark King'. " he said as tears filled in his furious eyes. Sharanya was pretty sad about his sister.
"Your rage was justified. You were not wrong. Besides as a brother it was your responsibility to do justice to your sister. " she said as she placed her hand on his shoulder. His eyes lightened up as it was the first time she had understood his feelings. He couldn't be more happier than this. He smiled and so did she.

It was 9:00 pm in the night when sharanya was laying in the bathtub. She was suffering from a mild back ache since the morn hence she decided to lay in the bathtub and relax. She splashed some water on her shoulder and face as she laid inside the bathtub. A sigh escaped her lips as she thought about the castle king and her beast. If truth to be told than she had started to feel that he wasn't so bad as she thought of him to be. He is not someone to be despised altogether. Owing to the fact that their are a ton of women falling on his feet just to get his attention. She chuckled at her thoughts. Howbeit her heart was feeling quite upset. It felt that it was missing someone. Sharanya though hated to confess that she was missing the beast. And she didn't know why. She was outright scared of him, she won't repudiate yet her heart missed him. Perhaps because the way he roams around her like a love sick puppy. Besides he doesn't scruple to say what's is in his heart and his heart is always filled with love for her. She was loved and coddled by her family since her childhood yet no one just roamed around her yelling the stuff like he loves her madly and she is his or something similar. The beast was aggressive but he always behaved like an overgrown puppy in front of her. Besides his constant claiming that he loves her madly was a bit heart warming.
"My silly thoughts. " she chuckled as she splashed some water on her arms. Howbeit her musing only ended when she felt someone behind her. She gasped as she tried to turn back but before she could two beastly arms wrapped around her petite figure. She knew who it was as the hands had long nails or claws to say precisely. Her lips curled upwards on their own as the beast wrapped his arms around her. Nuzzling his head in the crook of her neck, he smelled her fragrance. She was outright perplexed at herself. She should have shrieked and hided herself from the beast owing to the fact that she was naked yet she didn't do anything like that. On the contrary, heart was pretty contented at the presence of the beast. She didn't know what was happening to her. The only thing she knew was that, that she was happy with the presence of the beast and she was not mortified that the beast was right now caging her naked body in his beastly arms.
"I thought you only come on the full moon night. " she whispered as the soft skin of her neck was greeted with tender pecks. A moan escaped her lips as her captor's lips came in contact with her skin. For the beast it was outright arduous to control himself from taking her right away, her naked body was itself irresistible and her moans were escalating his concupiscence even further. Yet he wouldn't take her, for the reason that he didn't wanted to hurt her. He would only take her if she permits him to. Otherwise he won't. Nevertheless he will still peck and kiss her as it was impossible for him to not touch her. He was a werewolf and they can't live without touching their mates.
"No it's not mandatory. We can come whenever we want to see you. " he said in his beastly voice as he softly kissed the corner of her lips. Surprisingly she didn't protest and the beast couldn't be more happier than this. Howbeit he did realise that he shouldn't have entered inside the bathroom without her permission. She was a human, she must be embarrassed as he had literally barged inside out of nowhere.
"We think we should go inside. We'll wait for you in the room. " he said as he stood up. Howbeit prior to he could step ahead, a soft and fragile hand held his big calloused one, preventing him from walking ahead. He looked down to see his beloved mate holding his hand. She looked up at him with her innocent and pretty eyes, melting his heart.
"You can stay if you want. " she whispered hesitantly. He looked down at her with love. He wanted to stay with her anyways. Besides her wish was his command. He sat on his knees and wrapped his arms around her petite body. She leaned her head against his. She didn't know why she said that nevertheless she wasn't upset with what she said. The unknown feelings of her heart compelled her to make him stay and she was contented with that.
"Can we join you. " the beast whispered in her ear, gently leaving tender pecks on her temple. She bit her lip as she nodded. The beast smiled. He took no time to step inside the bathtub. Fortunately the bath tub was rather huge and both of them were comfortably adjusted inside. Besides their was still some space left. He grabbed her little body and placed her in between his legs. An unknown feeling of pleasure erupted inside her body when his erect manhood touched the soft skin of her hips. Biting her lip she strived to suppress her moans.
"We love you mate. You are ours. " the beast whispered giving her butterflies in her stomach. She blushed as she laid her head on his rock hard chest. He wrapped his arms around her, pecking her gently. Her lips curled upwards as she closed her eyes, relishing the warmth of the beast's arms.
