NARRATOR'S P.O.V

A new morning in the lives of the inhabitants of the town. The weather as quotidian was moderately gratifying and pleasant. The mountains looked heavenly and enchanting as usual. Yesterday there were reports of heavy blizzard in the towns located high up the Alps, as a consequence the mountain peaks were crusted with snow. Though the sky was unclouded but still there were black clouds above the castle. They were gyrating around the whole castle. Why???? No one knew. However there were two people in the town who knew the reason behind this. The two man were the priest and Mr Kashyap. And they were currently sitting inside the temple and praying to the Gods for the beast to fall asleep again.

Low murmurings could be heard inside the castle. All the alphas of the various packs from all around the globe were in attendance there as per the ordinance of the Dark King. The ambience was somewhat tense as the alphas had just heard about him, they had never seen or conversed with him. Yet they were aware that he was not a man to be trifled with. They were aware of his barbaric instinct, his deranged ways and his savage mind. They knew that whether they like it or not, they just have to follow his orders. He was the most powerful creature on this earth or maybe in the entire cosmos.

The castle looked more cleaner and beautiful than ever. The new slaves that were brought for the Dark King by the various alphas had renovated the whole castle. His bedroom was now fully cleaned and embellished, after all his queen will live there. Not only his bedroom, the whole castle appeared clean together with the the kitchen, the bathrooms and most peculiarly the torture room. That was their Lord's favorite room, how can the slaves leave that room mucky. The castle was once again brought back to it's original splendour. Right now everyone was patiently awaiting for the arrival of the Dark King. He was currently in his bedroom getting ready for the coronation ceremony. He wanted to get the throne as soon as possible. The alphas on the other hand were sitting in the hall, waiting for their ruler to arrive. They were called yesterday in the night itself. They had stayed last night in the castle but they didn't get the opportunity to encounter with the Dark Lord. Little did they knew that their ruler was busy dreaming about his little mate. For the whole night he didn't get even a wink of sleep as he was dreaming about that exquisite little angel he met hours ago. Only if she knew how much he loves her.

And then he arrived. The Dark King blessed his slaves and devotees with his appearance. He stormed through the door and came inside the hall and dashed towards the throne with power and sovereignty. All the alphas and the slaves bowed down to him. They just couldn't trust their eyes, the man they were beholding was a beast. A true beast with his colossal height and a beastly body. They gulped. No incertitude that this man was the conqueror of the earth. He was designated an eminently apt appellation 'The Dark King ' ,he appeared analogus with his denomination. He didn't even bothered to squiz at the alphas who were waiting exactly in a manner as if a canine awaits his owner, Why would he???? They were all subservient in his eyes. He marched towards the throne apparalled in a bygone fashioned pants that were black and with just a shrug over his shoulder that was so long that it reached his knees. His chest was bare and was just partly shrouded with a slack shrug. Contrary to him, all the people in the castle were dressed in formal suits. They all appeared like decent and cultured people but he looked like a monster that had came directly from the hell. He sat on his throne like a powerful king, which he was.
"Long Live the king " echoed in the whole castle. The sound of thunder could be heard inside the hall and the people assembled inside the castle knew that the sky is also frightened of the beast sitting proudly in front of them. The most loyal man of the king himself came inside with the crown that looked identicaly horrendous as the King himself. He placed the crown on the King's forehead and sounds of clapping echoed in the hall. The clouds started to pour rain, as if they were weeping because of the beast that was now awake. He stood up from his throne and stood straight with his hands clasped together at the back.

"To all those who are present here, you may not know me well. How would you??? I was cursed to sleep behind that pathetic wall for I guess 10,000 years. Your forefathers would have not been born that time. But now I am free. My curse is broken and now I shall rule over this whole earth. Now each and everyone on this earth shall serve me. I will be the ruler of this earth. Coz I am THE DARK KING. " he said as he laughed evily spooking each and every soul present inside the castle. The alphas sitting there didn't even dare to question him besides for one. He was young man. Apparently became an alpha some months back. He was a new alpha. He lifted his hand up catching the attention of the Dark Lord. He raised his brow.
"Your Majesty, you said that you were cursed for 10,000 years and were sleeping behind that wall, how come than you broke your curse. " the young man queried. The King made his way towards him, scaring the other alphas in the process. He stood near him towering him with his splendid height. The young man was not at all a short fellow, he was relatively tall with 6ft height and an imposing built. But he looked like a juvenile in front of the King.
"Little boy, I didn't break my curse. Someone else did. " he said with a smile as he remembered his beautiful mate.
"Who did???? " the young man asked. The King smiled and patted his back. He then made his way to his throne and stood there.
"Your queen. " he stated proudly.

These words were ample for the people assembled inside the castle to look at their King with eyes agape and mouth hanging on their own. Queen????? Had the Dark King fallen in love???? They all looked at each other and then at the King. They knew that the king has fell in love. And they were fretted. Not because they will have to follow the commands of the queen as well but they were worried for the poor girl who this beast has chosen. They knew he will make her life a living hell. How can a girl live with a beast whose day begins with killing and ends with killing. They pondered who was that poor girl. Was she a werewolf princess????
"She's a human. A sweet innocent little human. " the king said. They were astounded to see as how their king can hear their thoughts.

It was 8:00 am in the morning when sharanya woke up. Not by herself but because of the voices coming from her drawing room. She huffed. She wants to sleep but cannot because of these vexing voices. She got up from her bed and slipped her feet in her slippers. Her looking glass was just in front of her bed and she peered at herself. She was wearing a tight night gown which was transparent and her bra and shorts were distinctly visible. Her family didn't let her go outside with her wearing this gown. She found the gown fairly cosy even though the gown exposed her beautiful skin clearly from underneath. She looked at herself. She thought she looked ordinary but that was far from reality. Only if she knew that she looked compellingly enticing. Her petite form and her over exposing gown were making her look overly tempting and beautiful. She sauntered outside the room in her half sleeping state.

She took small steps, rubbing her eyes with her little fingers as she kept on walking to her drawing room. She began to descend down the stairs. Her feet stumbled in the process as she was still in her half slumber. She somehow regained her balance and reached to the drawing room. She opened the door without even knocking and went inside rubbing her eyes looking as adorable as ever.
"Grandpa please don't shout. I can't sleep. " she said trying to open her eyes. She heard a chuckle which was foreign to her. She peered in front of her to see the creepy man she met previous day in the cafe was sitting there. His head was tilted and his eyes wandered around her petite body. He licked his lips as he kept on ogling at each and every feature of her very carefully. Only if she knew how tempting she looked right now. The monster sitting in front of him just wanted to pounce on her and claim her his without mercy.

It was her nightgown which was prohibiting him to stare at her beautiful body. The gown was transparent and he wanted to rip it to see how much beautiful she looked.
"Sharanya what are you wearing. " her father said gaping at her. She looked at herself confused. She was feeling so sleepy right now that she didn't knew what she was wearing or what she was doing. Her father quickly grabbed her hand and practically ran to her room. He laid her on her bed and covered her with blanket so she can sleep. He sighed. He knew his daughter is so naive and innocent, that's why he had to always keep her safe. He smiled seeing his princess sleep contently. He left her to sleep and went back to the drawing room to apologize to his visitor.

It was 10 am when she woke up again but this time by herself. She stretched her arms and yawned. She gazed outside the window to see a beautiful view of mountains and the forests. She smiled. She went to her bathroom to do her daily routine and after taking a nice hot shower she came out of the bathroom. She wore her peach colored maxi dress and went downstairs with her hairs still wet due to washing making her look like an angel. She opened her drawing room to find no one inside. She pouted. She then went to the kitchen to see her granny cooking. She hugged her from behind and her granny chuckled.
"Granny where is everyone. " she asked.
"In your father's room. " she replied. She kissed her granny's cheeks and climbed upstairs to her father's room.

She happily opened the door and got shocked. The creepy man from the cafe was sitting there with his eyes fixed on her.

She lowered her eyes down and sat next to her dad.
"Mr Singhala, she is my daughter sharanya. " her father introduced her to him. She hesitantly look up to find him still staring at her with a smirk on his face.
"Sharanya say hello. " her father said. She stretched her hand to shake and he immediately captured her little hand in his big calloused one. His hand was rough.
"Hi Sharanya, I am Yuvraj. Nice to meet you. " he said kissing her hand. She shuddered. Nobody has ever done that to her. She smiled nervously.
"Sharanya Mr Singhala is the new owner of the castle. " her father told her. She gazed at him puzzled.
"But granny said the castle belonged to that cruel king. " she stated innocently not aware that the barbaric king was sitting in front of her.

"No my dear Mr Singhala had bought the castle and there is no cruel king. " her father stated. The man looked at him with a smirk. Only if he knew that their biggest nightmare was sitting right in front of them.
"Mr Yuvraj. " she called him with her soft voice. He mentally moaned. His name from her mouth looked so beautiful. He wanted her to take his name for the entire day. Just his name. No other male name should come on her lips. He will make sure of that.
"Yes. " he replied lustfully.
"Will you get angry with me if I tell you that I went into the castle without your permission. " she said innocently. He chuckled. How innocent she is. He wants to lock her up in his bedroom already. This innocent beauty should be his. Just his. No one should get the pleasure of seeing her.
"Not at all. You know what tomorrow I am throwing a party in a castle. Why don't you come to the castle with your family. " he said with a grin. She smiled hesitantly. She still was frightened of him.

Only if she knew that she was now his queen. And he will get her no matter what.
