Holly accidentally woke up the sleeping Alpha King. A young woman from the Grisia kingdom must be sent to Dark Hill castle every ten years. This year, they choose Holly as a sacrifice.

People said a beast lived in that castle and ate every woman that was supposed to be his servant. That was why those women never comeback. Holly only got two choices after her father was beheaded for treason; killed in her village or go to the Dark Hill and be eaten by the beast.

Holly chose to went to the Dark Hill. But instead of a beast, Holly found a handsome and charming man who slept in a glass coffin. A king that was cursed to sleep in eternity. Immortal but neither life nor death. She woke him up accidentally. At first, she thought everything was fine until she realized there must be a reason why the King was cursed. The King was the beast himself.

Too late to run away, she chained to the King and shared the curse with him. The curse hasn't finished yet.
…

"Only a Luna can break the curse."

"I don't know who Luna is. But my name is Holly Reloux. And I don't want to be your Queen!"

"You already did."

Felix took his dagger. With one move, he stabbed Holly in the chest. Everyone was shocked and speechless without understanding what their King was doing. A few moments ago, Felix announced that Holly would be their Queen, but now Felix killed her instead.

Holly held her bloody chest. It hurt so much that she couldn't breathe. Her legs gave up, and she fell to the floor. With a blurry vision, Holly saw Felix still standing beside her. He looked at Holly expressionlessly.

Before she lost consciousness, Holly heard Felix say with his stoic face, "Congratulations, My Queen. Now you're the first immortal human."

Chained To The Beast

It had been one week since Felix refused to look for a concubine. Holly thought everything was going as usual, but today she found a group of women in the palace garden.

"What are they doing here? Why didn't they ask my permission to come?"

"They came to prepare for the new moon ritual, Your Majesty." Gilbert stood behind Holly, always accompanying her everywhere. Cass has yet to find a replacement for him.

Sometimes Holly got annoyed about how clueless she was. She always being left behind and didn't understand anything.

"The ritual performed by Luna and the noble ladies. You must attend it tomorrow at the lake, Your Majesty."

"What should I do there? With them?"

"It's a ritual bath. You have to bathe in the lake when the moon comes up. There's not much to do."
