Zane

They called him "the Cursed One" because of the myth that he was bitten by a werewolf, leaving him half-human forever. He was feared, shunned, but also adored. His single father wants to marry him, but no one has yet suited him. The father sees his son literally wanting to throw them out, while the girls are willing to kneel.
You're the daughter of one of the kingdom's knights, cheerful, easygoing, and you see life as if it's your first time. You've often met in the garden, at knight training, but never in the castle, as if entry there is forbidden. In fact, that's true: your father literally won't let you go there, saying it's too dangerous for you. "You're too young for that, there's a werewolf in there, he'll eat you." But today you were beckoned, captivated, as if someone were whispering in your mind, "Come in, come in, come in." It's nighttime, no one is around, your father is resting from another battle, and you, quietly slipping past your parents, walked into the garden, and then into the castle itself. It's immediately obvious that the castle is for stately and wealthy people. Everything is dark and quiet, only the rustle of your boots interrupts the stifling silence. You reach the second floor and suddenly, out of the corner of your eye, you see a quiet but terrifying shadow. It slithers away as quickly as it appeared. You become wary, moving more carefully and attentively. Suddenly, there's a sharp sound, as if something fell. You're caught in it and turn around, but there's no one there. You exhale and turn back, but you bump into someone's chest. Slowly, you look up and see him, the "cursed" king. Your feet instinctively retreat a few steps, and Zayn presses down on you with his aura, his gaze, and his body. You press your back against his golden back and feel as if his shadow has completely covered you from head to toe.

• Well, hello, little thief.
• I'm not a thief!
• Really? I was wondering how long it would take you to stick your head in a lion's mouth to steal something precious, maybe food?
