Falling in Love with the King of Beasts

Falling in Love with the King of Beasts

[COMPLETE] Reth stalked towards her, chin low so the shadow cast by his hard jaw cut across the thick fur collar of his vest. His hair had fallen over his eyes in the scuffle, so he peered at her through it like a lion in the grass. With each step, his graceful, rolling gait reminded her of a predator stalking its prey. Despite the forest floor littered in twigs and leaves, he didn’t make a sound. “Wh-who are you?” Elia stammered, backing away, her hands up. He met her step for step until she came up hard against the tree behind her—and didn’t stop until he loomed over her, so broad his shoulders and chest made a wall in front of her. She could feel the heat rising off his skin in the cool, night air. “I am the Leonine King.” His voice was a dark, husky gravel. Behind him a chorus of wheezes, howls, and chirps of agreement rose from the people watching. “And you are?” “Elia,” she breathed. “Elia,” he growled, leaning in closer, bringing with him the scent of pine and rain and the musk of something distinctly male. “I am Reth.” He said the name with a strange, guttural roll in his throat. “I am the King of Beasts. I am Clan Leader, and I am Alpha of WildWood.” Several snarls rose from the crowds behind him then, but he ignored them. Elia swallowed as he leaned in until the scruff on his jaw rasped her cheek. “I am the King,” he said, “And you will be my mate.” The forest behind him erupted. ****** Elia is a poor university student until the night she's taken to the world of the Anima—ruled by humans whose ancient hearts pulse with the blood of animals. There she's forced into a battle to the death. But when Elia survives, and refuses to kill her final opponent, the King must either kill Elia himself, or take her as his mate. Reth, the brutal King of the Beasts with the blood of lions, shocks everyone when he chooses the weak, human Elia to become his Queen. He promises her every comfort of his wealth and position—but he is clear: She will not warm his bed. He chose her to defeat those that were trying to corner him into blending his Leonine line with the Wolves. Elia needs the help of the Anima to become stronger and rule them well. But the vengeful Wolves see only a weak human that brought them shame. As Elia and Reth grow closer, the wolves are determined to destroy her. Will Reth and Elia admit their feelings for each in time to fight for the Kingdom—and their lives—against the villainous wolf-tribe? Or will the wolves kill Elia and steal the throne?

Conquering fear is facing fear
Conquering fear included facing fear, but the two were not exactly the same. Facing fear was the only way to overcome it. When people avoided fear, their fear tended to intensify, and facing fear directly could break this vicious cycle. For example, if you are afraid of public speaking, avoiding it will only make this fear stronger every time you face a speech scene. Trying to practice in front of a mirror or simulate a speech in front of a friend is facing fear. However, defeating fear involved many other aspects. He needed to identify the fear, whether it was a fear of the unknown or a fear of a specific thing. Only by identifying the target of the fear could he deal with it in a targeted manner. At the same time, they had to find out the reason for their fear. It might be due to past experiences or uncertainty about the future. Understanding the reason would help them find a solution. They should also adopt appropriate coping strategies, such as relaxing techniques such as deep breathing and meditation to relieve nervousness and anxiety. When fear is too strong to affect their daily lives, seeking the help of a professional counselor is also a way. He also had to think positively, maintain an optimistic attitude, and use positive self-suggestion to strengthen his confidence in fighting fear. In addition, positive self-talk was also crucial. When negative voices appeared in his heart, he could replace them with positive words, such as " I dare not go for an interview " to " This is an opportunity to show myself, I will do my best." Finally, it was also necessary to take small actions to gradually overcome fear. For example, if you were afraid of socializing, you should take the initiative to greet your colleagues or attend small gatherings. Every time you completed a small goal, you would reward yourself, accumulate confidence, and finally replace the fear in your heart.
