The King of Beasts Prologue
PROLOGUE ARIA: It was raining own heavily; the drops cruel and the thundering sky merciless as I came to a halt after running. The sound of violent waves crashing against the rocks fill my ears. I stand on a cliff, below me the angry waves collide with the rocks, making those sounds that would’ve scared me a long time ago. My heart thrashes wildly inside me as I take small steps towards the edge of the cliff. “Aria.” I look over my shoulder, my eyes falling on the man who drove me to the cliff. My bare feet ache and throb with pain. Pressure builds behind my eyes, my body aches. “Come here.” “No.” My voice come out as a scared whisper, the sound carried away by the wind. “Right now, Aria.” His face tightens with anger and I smile. I’ve never seen a man like him. Turning away from him, I move forward. I am so close to the edge that I can see the dark waves thrashing beneath me. “Lioness.” I tense, my body shuddering with cold. “Come to me.” My lips twitch at his intentions

1ARIA“Aria Whitlock.”I tensed a bit, my head snapped towards the man who had been standing in the elevator with me for the past few minutes.He was holding a magazine in front of his face, hiding his face from me. My brows dipped as I stared at him. He wore a navy-blue pine striped suit, brown expensive looking shoes. His complexion was fair, not tanned; only his veiny hands were visible to me.Confidence oozed from him.And I knew he wasn’t an employee.Even though the pay was good here at Pierce Industries, this man looked like he took a swim in luxuries.His suit, his shoes, his Rolex watch screamed money.“They say you never smile.”My eyes flicked to the magazine that hid his face from me. His voice was deep, husky and so fucking beautiful.Were voices even considered beautiful?Even if they were not, his was. And I was acting weird.Even though I was standing beside him, I could see his face and the tremendous urge I felt to see him was weird for me.“They say you have an RBF

2 (WARNING: DARK CONTENT AHEAD) ARIA: It was midnight when the chaos hit us. I was sleeping, tired from the long day when the gunshots rang out, awakening me from the slumber. My heart was beating wildly as I stepped out of the room, confused as hell, and checked the dark hallway. I shuddered when more gunshots rang out, followed by shouts and screams. What was happening? I stepped into the darkness. My bare foot thumped across the floor as I ran towards Gideon’s room. I had been living here for a few days. Alara was gone and I felt paranoid in my own house. It had felt like someone was watching me, staring at my back always. It irked me. Maybe it was just me or the fact that the house was new for me. I jumped, heart beating wildly inside me when another shot rang out. My mind registered something that had me freezing and halting in my step. Curses were ringing out in Italian. My mind spun; my breathing deepened as fear started to make its way into my head. My gut churned. Am

3 ARIA: The smell of kerosene filled my nostrils. I lifted my head up, watching my surroundings. Men were pouring it everywhere around me. My eyes fell on the red patches of blood covering the white marble floor in front of me. Gideon’s blood. I looked around, tired but alert. Were they going to burn me alive?I closed my eyes, silently praying to the god to make it just as painful as it was for Gideon. The man died because of me, so it was just that I had the same fate. I didn’t have any energy left in me. I didn’t move my hand when a man nearly crushed it while passing by it. I just sat there, numb and cold. How did it happen? A. part of me was sad and angry, and the other part happy. A part screamed that I should be punished for the deaths I caused and the other told me it wasn’t my fault. Nothing felt real for a while. I tried to think it was a dream, a nightmare but I knew better. It was reality and reality was worst than any nightmare. A man destroyed everything just

4 FABIANO: Fabiano knew what he had done. How could he not when he had been planning this for months? Aria Whitlock was his, the moment he saw her smiling face in Adriano’s office. His friend had told him she was a problem but Fabiano saw more than that. He saw a brave woman hardened by her past. He saw a woman protecting her family. He saw her. Then he wanted her. Fabiano didn’t know why he wanted her. Maybe it was because she challenged him and never submitted to him. She was a like breath of fresh air in his dull life. One meeting led to another and he knew he had to have her. He waited months for her, bugged her house. He had inserted cameras everywhere in her house, even in her bathrooms. There wasn’t a single corner of her house that wasn’t covered by the cameras. He had seen her roaming round the rooms, watching over her shoulder like someone was there. Her instincts were right. There was someone. Him. The King of Underworld. He was always there, watching her sleep. H

5ARIAI stared at the woman in front of me.Bloodshot eyes, blotchy cheeks, short hair.She looked like me but she wasn’t. She was weak and pathetic.I stared at my own reflection in the mirror. I tried to find myself in it but couldn’t. The woman in the mirror wasn’t me.She was a stranger.An impostor.Weak.That wasn’t me.I let out a shaky breath, my eyes still staring back into the blue orbs of the woman in the mirror but my mind was spinning.Black dots assaulted my vision, my vision blurred and I swayed on my feet. My eyes rolled back to the back of my head and I fell into darkness.I slumped in the arms of a destroyer. My destroyer.***When I woke up bundled in silk, I was aware of my unfamiliar surroundings. I was aware that my life was ruined.Shattered.Destroyed.Burnt to ashes.I laid there, staring at the ceiling, wondering what to do next. I didn’t know where I was. I had no idea of what was going to happen to me.My eyes were dry, so was my throat. My heart was surpr

6 ARIA Everything was burnt down. Reduced to ashes. My plans. My hopes. My craving of freedom. Everything around me was black and gray, that was all I could see through my unfocused vision. Ashes. Storms. Thunder. Private island. An island thousands of meters away from civilization. An island surrounded my nothing but vastness of blue. Secluded and hidden, I was no different than a valuable gem to him. An object for decoration. But I was different than a gem. I refused to be like this. I refused to give up. I refused to become an object. I was a human. A survivor after all. I wasn’t taught to give up and run. I was taught to fight. Anger pulsated through me, spreading throughout my body. Adrenaline rushed through my veins, giving me the power, I needed for the fight. Because that’s what I chose. Fight. Not flight. Never flight. Fuck flight. With red covering my vision, my senses haywire and my insides a blur of emotions, I swung my fist at him. It barely touched someth

7 ARIA ‘It is cold.’ That was my first thought when I regained my consciousness. My lashes fluttered like the wings of a butterfly. I blinked to adjust my eyes to the darkness that surrounded me. A shaky breath escaped me as I rolled over my back, pushing my feet on the cold surface to sit up. It was dark. Unusually dark. Was it night so soon? It was a stupid question to ask myself but I paid no attention as I shuffled to find some light. My hands touched something cold, I carefully ran my fingers over it while squinting my eyes to look around. The texture was smooth, yet cool. It felt like… metal. “What the hell?” I shuffled, my heart beat escalating with every second that passed. When I tried to stand up, pain exploded in my skull. I immediately ducked down, “Fucking shit.” Where was I? I rubbed my fingers over my scalp, soothing the pain as I struggled. I lifted my hands up, carefully and slowly. When the tips of my fingers met a cold surface, my heart dropped into a pit
