Prologue
Present year (Azubu realm)
The King sat on his throne with a crown on his head, discussing with his subjects. His beasts were restless, rambling, and stirring inside him.
He was shifting in his seat, and his beasts had never behaved like this in the past centuries.
Then why now? He thought.
"My King, we found a rogue on the border. Should we bring it in?" one of the guards asked, trembling while bowing his head.
"Take it to the dungeon," he replied gruffly, turning to look at his subjects before his beasts crawled the barrier. He called the guard back, stopping him from leaving.
"Halt, bring it in!" he ordered.
The guard nodded his head, bowing one more time, going out to carry out his King's order.
The King stopped abruptly in his word when the beasts in him rose to the most beautiful intoxicant scent, which hit him hard, nearly making him fall. He inhaled sharply like a starved man.
Momentarily, the guard entered the courtroom carrying an unconscious body.
Mate!
Mate!
Mate!
The beasts in him howled in delight. The beasts in him came to life. His cold heart started beating again.
The King rushed to the guard and yanked the body from the guard softly like a delicate gem, and he held her delicate, fragile body in his arms like it could break any moment and breathed in her scent hungrily.
"Atlas! I found you after 1000 years of anguished pain without you; Please, love, open your eyes," the King whispered while cradling his unconscious mate tightly but delicately in his arms.
Then he turned to the guard, who carried her in with rage red eyes; his beasts saw the guard as a threat - a danger. The King ran to him and held him up against the wall before he inserted his elongated claws, puncturing the man's chest and removing his beating heart in his hand.
No one messed with his Queen.
