King Damian is the most feared ruler in the Kingdom of Embagdo.To his people, he is cold, ruthless, and untouchable. But behind his mask of absolute power, he hides a dark, agonizing secret. Every single day, precisely between 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM, a terrible curse forces his body to tear apart and transform into a massive, bloodthirsty black wolf with glowing red eyes. To hide his monstrous secret, he locks himself completely alone inside his private chambers every afternoon. No one is allowed near his doors during these two hours. The penalty for doing so is immediate death. Downstairs in the palace kitchens, Lala is a quiet, gentle nineteen-year-old laundry maid. Because she is an orphan with no family to protect her, the older maids constantly bully her. On this particular day, the head maid aggressively forces a heavy silver food tray into Lala's hands and shoves her into the King's room right before noon. The doors slam shut behind her, trapping her inside as a sacrificial lamb. Lala trips and falls to her knees, spilling the food everywhere. As the grandfather clock chimes twelve, Damian lets out an agonizing scream and transforms into the giant beast right before her eyes. Lala is completely paralyzed by fear, waiting to be torn to pieces. But the moment the wolf catches her scent, it freezes. Lala is his Fated Mate. The beast's wild rage vanishes. It whines softly and rests its massive head on her lap. Trembling, Lala strokes his fur, and for the first time, Damian feels no pain. When he turns human again at 2:00 PM, he is shocked she is alive. To keep his secret safe, he promotes her to his exclusive personal maid.Behind closed doors, a beautiful, forbidden romance blossoms. Lala sees the deep loneliness beneath the King's angry mask, and Damian uses his power to protect her from the cruel staff. Soon, their pure, unconditional love does the impossible: it completely shatters the dark magic. The midday transformation stops, and Damian permanently regains his human form. Overjoyed, he promises to make Lala his Queen.However, their happiness is instantly shattered. The royal family and the nobles refuse to accept a poor kitchen maid. Leading the resistance is Damian’s wicked stepmother, Queen Camara. She orders her son, Arthur, to spy on the King. Arthur witnesses the lovers celebrating the broken curse and reports back to his mother. Camara lets out a dark laugh and reveals the truth, she was the one who cursed Damian as a young boy using forbidden dark magic. She wanted him to become a monster so the kingdom would execute him, allowing her own son, Arthur, to steal the throne. Desperate to finish her plan, she bribes the guards and organizes a massive assembly at 11:55 AM. In front of the entire kingdom, Camara uses her powers to forcefully reawaken the curse. Damian transforms into the monstrous wolf in pure agony. Arthur draws his sword and orders the guards to kill the beast. But before they can strike, Lala runs forward and shields the wolf with her own body, declaring her love for him to the world. Her ultimate sacrifice triggers the true power of the mate bond, permanently destroying the stepmother's magic. Damian doesn't change back; instead, he gains perfect control over the wolf, keeping his human mind. With a powerful roar, he easily defeats the corrupt guards. Arthur begs for mercy and confesses to the crowd. Damian strips the traitors of their titles and throws Camara and Arthur into the deepest dungeons forever. With the curse gone, King Damian kneels before Lala and crowns her his Queen, proving that true love conquers all.
