NARRATOR'S P.O.V

The sun shined brightly in the sky.  The snow had began melting on the peak of the mountains, hence the chilly Zephyr gusted across the town. The day was quite chilly. Deers and cows could be seen grazing in the meadow pasture. The number of the deers had comparatively declined since last week. People knew that there are wolves in the forests but the number of the deers had never shrank. But now it appeared as if there is a monster in the forest who is devouring all the deers. They were certain that it's a monster after all only a monster can eat a whole herd of deers. Little did they knew that the culprit behind the vanishing of the deers was a centuries old evil monster. And very soon not only the deers but they will also be in peril.

There was zilch normal today in the town. Since the town people had heard that the castle owner is coming to take a round of the town, they couldn't help but get over exhilarated and contended. How did they come to know that he is coming in the town.????? Well the credit goes to the gossip aunties of the town. These ladies have got no chill. Since the day he had stepped his foot in the town these ladies have done bupkis but spy on him. The entire town had attended the party previous night. They were literally astounded after seeing the arrangements. The castle looked like as if a king lives there. Only if they knew that a king really lives there. A vicious and a diabolical king. The ladies and the young girls were literally roaming around the mysterious billionaire, desperately waiting for his attention. But unfortunately their imperious neighbor didn't even glance at them. Yet the girls had not given up hope. They still hope that he will give his attention to them. That's why the girls have been preparing since morning for his arrival. However there was a serious question in the minds of the town people that why is he coming again to take a tour of the whole town. He had already seen the entire town than why now. Besides that imperious man walks around the town as if he owns the whole town. Well he does, he is the ruler of the town and not just the town he is the king of the earth. The town people will realize it sooner or later.

And than he came. Their wealthy, arrogant and handsome neighbor finally made appearance. He came in his extortionate car. The young girls and ladies were standing on the terrace giggling and laughing. They were desperately waiting for their Prince Charming to come out of the car. He sat in his car, his eyes focused on the road. He didn't even bother to glance at the overly exuberant town people. His eyes were searching for someone. Someone who was really special to him. It was his queen, his beloved queen who ran away from him last night. He was seriously furious previous night after his efforts went into vain. He had planned that stupid party just to spend time with his sweet heart. And she was not at all ready to even talk to him. He had no option but to change into his beast form and terrify her. He knew she was frightened of him. He still couldn't help but think about their meeting yesterday. How she was crying when he caged her in his arms. He knew she will get used to his beast form. She will have to, she have got no other choice.

Sharanya was happily watching her favorite movie moana on TV when she heard someone yelling. She ran out of her room only to find her twin friends fighting with each other. She giggled. She slowly went towards them and stood between them so they can stop fighting.
"May I know why my dear buddies are fighting. " she asked trying to control her laughter.
"Ask her. " they both said in unison with face red in anger.
"Myra you tell me what happened. " she asked Myra.
"She said that he looked at her but that's not true he looked at me. " she said stomping her foot on the ground. Sharanya stood their puzzled. She didn't know what are they talking about.
"You are a liar. He looked at me. " Syra yelled.
"Guys.....Guys.....Guys....calm down. Can you please tell who are you talking about. " she asked.
"Yuvraj Singhala our beast. " they both said dreamily. Sharanya instantly tensed up. Just the mention of his name gave her chills. She was so scared of that man.
"You mean that scary castle owner. " she asked with fear. They both gazed at her perplexed.
"He is not scary sharanya. He is so hot and handsome. " Syra said blushing madly.
"No he is not handsome. He is scary. " sharanya said. They both rolled their eyes.
"You know what sharanya he is coming to our town today. Come let's go outside. I want him to look at me." syra said as she grabbed sharanya's wrist and ran outside with her.
"Syra I don't want to see him. " she requested while running. Her twin friends ignored her and ran outside with her.

They halted near the paling of sharanya's garden. Syra's hand was still around sharanya's wrist preventing her from running inside. Myra opened the fence gate and ran outside with both the girls. And that's when sharanya saw him sitting in his car. His eyes were focused only on the road. She thanked god as he had not seen her. She always felt uncomfortable when he looked at her. But then his eyes went to three girls standing near the paling. And then his eyes caught his queen standing there with fear in her eyes. He gazed at her with so much love and passion.

The moment he saw her he came out of his car. He made his way towards his girl ignoring the ceaseless hooting coming from the females. He stood in front of her and she stepped back looking down. She wanted him to go away from here. But he was a stubborn man, he will never leave her. He clasped his hands together at his back and gazed at her lovingly. He admired each and every feature of her. She was perfect in his eyes. Her hairs fell on her face and he couldn't control his hands as he removed her hairs from her face with his fingers. She jerked his hands away and he growled.
"Mr Singhala I think someone is calling you. " she said stepping back. He smirked.
"Call me yuvraj. Only you can call me by my name. " he said with a smirk. She didn't understand what he meant. She thought it will be best if she runs away. And that's precisely what she did. She ran away leaving a furious man behind. He just wanted to grab her and take her to his castle and claim her. He wanted to show her that she belongs to him and she should never run away from him. He looked at his side to see two girls who look exactly identical were staring at him with utter confusion. He rolled his eyes.

He walked around the town with authority and power. He looked at each and everything of the town very carefully.
"Remove these benches I don't like them. " he said to one of his men and he nodded. The town people looked at him perplexed. If they are not wrong than he had bought the castle. But right now it seemed as if he had purchased the whole town. From the corner of the cafe a figure was watching each and everything. He was none other than the priest of the temple. With just a single glance he came to know that he is the dark king. He had seen him in his beast form and now in his human form too. He was about to run from there when he felt a hand on his neck. He turned back to look at the Dark King. He looked so scary.
"I killed your great great grandfather. Do you know that." he said smirking scaring the poor priest.
"You......are........the......Dark......King....." he said with difficulty. The man chuckled.
"Yes I am. And you know what priest very soon each and every soul on this earth will know that the Dark King is now free. But right now I want you to shut your mouth or else you know what I can do. " he said laughing evily. The priest nodded with fear. The man patted his cheek and continued to gaze around his territory.

_______________________________________

It was 7:00 pm when sharanya was ambling in her garden. She was relishing the chilly Zephyr that gusted giving her light shivers. She decided to walk outside her house. She started to walk in the town. She kept on walking while touching the long grasses with her fingers. She was in her own world when her eyes abruptly went to a figure standing near her. She looked closely to see the scary man standing there.

She gulped. She decided to walk back to her house but then she was stopped with a husky voice.
"Hello Sharanya. " he said in his accustomed husky voice. She turned back. He was now standing really close to him.
"Hello Mr Singhala. " she said softly.
"Yuvraj. Call me yuvraj. " he said as he cupped her face with his hands scaring her. He pecked her cheek and she shivered. She jerked his hands away and ran from there. He stood there smirking.

Inside the castle the slaves were doing their duties. They were cleaning the whole castle and not to mention the torture room. They were quite startled as their Lord have not brought a single guest to the torture room. They were quite perplexed as how can their Lord live without torturing people. But than they thought maybe it's because their Lord is busy in wooing their queen. They have never seen her but they were sure that she must be really beautiful. But today morning something strange happened, huge portraits covered in white cloths were taken to the Dark King's room. They didn't know who was in the portraits, they were ordered strictly to not look who was in the portraits. Maybe someone important. They were not allowed to go inside their Lord's room so their is no chance that they can see who was in the portraits. Besides the portraits were like 100s in number. Looks like the Dark Lord has covered every inch of his wall with the portraits.

The Dark King's room was fairly illuminated with the lights of the chandeliers. The candles were lit inside the room. The bed was prepared for the Dark Lord. But he was not on his bed. Every inch of the wall was covered with big photoframes. And each and every photoframe had a picture of the same person. The person was none other than Sharanya. His queen, his life, his lover and his biggest weakness. His whole room was filled with her pictures. Today in the forenoon the pictures were hung on the wall as per his orders. He wanted to look at her everytime he comes in his room. It's just a matter of time when she will be in this room not these pictures. In the corner of the room the Dark King stood staring at the picture in front of him. He trailed his long fingers on his queen's photo. He kept on touching each and every feature of her with his fingers.

Meantime his most loyal man came inside to see his Lord standing there shirtless staring at the picture obsessively. He turned his attention from the picture to him and glanced at him.

"My Lord what are you doing. All the alphas are waiting for you in the throne room. And what mess you have made of yourself My Lord. And why have you covered your room with these pictures. " he asked worriedly as he looked closely at the pictures. He was startled to see that all the pictures were of the same girl. The Dark Lord laughed madly. He gazed at his Lord puzzled. The Dark King never behaved like that.
"Have you ever fallen in love. " he asked the small male. The man shook his head.
"Than you will never understand what I am feeling. " he said as he resumed touching his beloved queen's picture. He showered her picture with kisses.
"My Lord if you will tell me than I will surely understand. " the man said. The Dark King kept staring at his princess picture with so much obsession that it might scare each and every human present on the earth.
"Have you ever loved someone so madly that all could think of is just them. That you feel to kill each and every soul on this earth so that you can get all their attention to yourself. To lock them up in your bedroom and chain their hands and feet to your bed so that they can never run away from you. " he said still staring at the pictures. The man standing in front of him gulped. He couldn't even think of doing anything what his Lord is saying.
"My Lord I don't know. I have never fallen in love. " he said nervously. He didn't reply as he was so consumed in admiring the beauty of his queen.

Suddenly he stepped back and smiled. His eyes had tears and his face had a smile. The man standing near him was now literally scared. His Lord looked like a mad man right now.
"Dravid look at this picture. She looks so beautiful when she smiles." he said as he touched her picture with his fingers. He then ran towards the other wall and stood near one of her pictures.
"And look she looks so adorable when she is confused. " he said obsessively scaring the other male. He than moved to the next picture and kissed the picture.
"See how beautiful and mesmerizing she looks when she sleeps. You know the one who clicked this photo for me, I killed him. I can't let anyone see her. Right. " he said as he came towards the smaller male. The man looked at his mad eyes that were filled with obsession for his queen. He knew that he will get her and will keep her caged. More than his Lord he was worried for the girl.

Only if she knew that she belonged to an obsessed Monster. Who can go to any extreme to have her.
