Chapter 1

Prologue

“Don't be stubborn, bend your back a little bit more, boy!” The king's seducing voice echoed in the room, and although Daniel was hesitant and angry, he had no other choice but to obey his master.

His hands were tied to the bed, and his legs were widened apart, exposing his hard cock. The king's menacing laughter echoed in the room as he stared at the angry man's excited cock.

“Oh boy!” The king taunted, his fingers teasing Daniel’s shaft. “You hate this horny demon king, but your body has fallen deeply in love with him.” he continued with a seducing voice.

The king's words angered Daniel and he spit on his face, trying to show his distaste. The king didn't look offended, he cleaned his face, and that menacing smirk appeared on his lips, as he took off his pants, leaving him naked in front of the handcuffed horny Daniel.

….

The king wasn't an ugly old man, in fact, he was the most handsome man in the kingdom, but his face was only handsome and charming, his heart was cruel, evil, wicked, and filled with malice.

The king believed that since he was the epitome of power, his subjects were his slaves. He treated women like his property, and the men weren't spared either.

Parents warned their children never to look into the king's eyes because it's rumored that whoever looks the king in his eyes, ends up ruining mad or losing their eyes.

Some called the king a charming beast, some said he was a monster, but the king wasn't offended by his citizen's allegations, because he knew they weren't wrong. He's not a normal human, he depends on blood and human flesh, and the only way to have a continuous supply is to feed on the people he regards as slaves…. the men in his kingdom.

But everything changed when the traitor's son came for revenge, and although Daniel knew the path he was on could cost him his very soul, he was determined to give it his all, and teach the self-centered king a painful lesson.

Daniel was in the lion's den once again, but this time, the lion was hungry and craving fresh blood, it didn't look like anyone would shut its mouth. Worst still, the lion king hates gay, and he wants them eliminated from his kingdom, because of his ongoing curse… Daniel!


Year 1824

“Father, you can't force me to be here, I have told you I am not interested in marrying a doll princess! I am not interested in women!” Daniel yelled at his greedy father for the umpteenth time, not minding that the little crowd around them was looking at him suspiciously.

But his father wasn't in the mood to listen to his son. They stood in front of the ball hall, and while Daniel looked reluctant to enter, his little brother, Samuel looked excited, and his eyes kept roaming around, admiring the well-dressed people he saw.

He couldn't blame his little brother, because he knew that was the first time he was attending a royal ball. On a normal day, he would be locked up in his room, learning how to impress a lady and become a lord. As much as Daniel loathed and despised his father, he was still grateful to him for looking after his little brother while he was away. The only thing he couldn't understand was why his brother loved his father despite the awful way he treated him.

“Father look, look we’re one of the first people to arrive! We came early, father!” George, Daniel's little brother cried out excitedly as he ran towards the main entrance. His grumpy father quickly ran after him and held his shirt's collar, before spanking him on his head.

“Ouch!” George winced in pain and gently rubbed the place his father hit him. Although Daniel didn't like the fact that his father hit his brother, there was nothing he could do because no one ever listened to him.

Daniel and his father had just arrived at the king's ball for the princess's birthday. His father was one of the royal messengers, and he knew his father was a greedy man, always looking for ways to climb up faster, never ready to be patient and honest.

This was Daniel's first time at a royal ball, in fact, this was his first time at a party. He didn't grow up with his father, he lived with his grandmother in a faraway village because that was his mother's dying wish, while his little brother stayed with his father. After his grandmother's death, his father forced him to return to Ashley's kingdom, according to him, that was the only way to make Daniel a useful son.

After arriving in the kingdom, he became his father's nightmare, and they were always involved in bad arguments. Well, this wasn't Daniel's fault, his father lost his mind when he found him kissing one of his male servants.

“You are possessed, and the only way to save you is by getting you married to the princess! That way I will become a notable lord, and no one will find out that you’re a disgrace of a son!” His father would yell at him whenever they were having a conversation.

He just doesn't understand his father, no one in the kingdom knows him, and this is his first public appearance, yet his father is so such that if the princess sees him, she will fall in love.

His father was right about one thing though, he was a charming and handsome young man. His white skin and long black hair were something that drew young ladies to him. His lips were as red as a juicy strawberry, and his eyes were blue and compelling. But unfortunately for his ladies’ admirers, he was gay, and he wasn't ready for anything serious.

Although Daniel was hesitant to enter the ball hall, he decided to go along with the flow, because he wanted his younger brother to enjoy his first royal ball. He made up his mind that he would tell the princess his sexuality, hoping that she would ignore him if perhaps she became interested. It was like his father could read minds, because, at that moment, his father stopped in his tracks and turned to face him, a deep frown on his face.

“Before I forget, Daniel, make sure no one knows you are gay! You are already a disgrace to me, and if the king finds out he will split your head into two, and George will not be spared! Also, remove that cloak you are wearing, the princess will be unable to see your face, and will not be impressed!” his father's strict voice echoed in his ears, but he paid no attention to him and walked into the ballroom. Leaving his father with gritted teeth and his brother with confused gazes.

“Split my head into two!” Daniel scoffed and hissed loudly, “Wow, the king must be an old ugly man who thinks he's god!”

He was right about one thing, the king thinks he’s god, but he was also wrong about one thing, the king is no ugly old man, he is a charming demon, with the ability to hypnotize whoever he wants.

Daniel's beauty quickly caught the eyes of the crowd and everyone turned to look at him. They weren't charmed by his beauty but instead were curious to see the man in a black cloak.

“This will be so boring,” Daniel squealed under his breath, looking at the male and female couples.

Suddenly the sound of trumpets came from the entrance, and the king and princess' arrival was announced. Abruptly, the room became quiet and everyone gazed at the entrance.

Everyone was curious to see the princess, and so was Daniel and his little brother. Their eyes glued to the door.

Soon, a young lady entered, and everyone was breathtaking, eyes widened, mouths fell open, and breaths hitched. Although Daniel admitted that the princess was beautiful and gorgeous, he felt nothing for her, and he kept looking at her with furrowed brows, wondering how he'd get married to a doll.

Suddenly, the main deal, the king entered, accompanied by four men, and the whole atmosphere in the room changed. People were staring at the man's heavenly beauty, but they were also terrified at the king's menacing smile.

Daniel was mesmerized, the king's beauty was unearthly, and unlike anything he had ever seen before. He had an aura that commanded attention and respect, but his pitch-black eyes awakened fear and panic.

He walked with elegance, and the four men following him were as handsome as the heavenly angels. A diamond crown sat comfortably on his head, and his royal robe was adorned with rubies, slivers, golds, and emeralds.

Daniel was lost staring at the king's eyes, and although he'd been warned never to look into the king's eyes, he couldn't help himself, and he got lost staring at those black eyes which held secrets and mischief. The king turned to face him, a cunning smile on his face, and they both stared at each other, their eyes unblinking and their urge longing for the other's company.

He couldn't explain it, but it felt like he'd known the king all his life, and he felt a lump growing in his chest, as his eyes fell on the king's well-craved lips, he could swear that he saw a hint of blood on the king's lips, but his unholy fantasy ended when one of the king's mistress appeared out of nowhere, and pecked the king on his cheeks.

Daniel felt jealous, “he belongs to me!” His wolf cried out, unfortunately, just as he was about to unleash his demon, a cold hand landed on his shoulder, and he froze instantly.
