Prologue
In the heart of the enchanted forest, where moonlight danced among the whispering trees and magic thrummed in the air, there existed a tale as ancient as time itself—the legend of the Beast Groom.
Long ago, when the world was young and the boundaries between realms were fluid, a pact was forged between humans and the mystical beings that roamed the land. To ensure peace and harmony, it was decreed that every generation, a human bride would be chosen to wed the Beast Groom—a powerful guardian of the forest and protector of its secrets.
The Beast Groom was both feared and revered, his true form hidden beneath a shroud of mystery and myth. Some whispered that he possessed the strength of a thousand warriors, while others claimed that his heart was as dark as the shadows that cloaked him.
But amidst the legends and folklore, one truth remained steadfast—the union between the human bride and the Beast Groom was said to be a bond forged in destiny, capable of bridging the divide between two worlds.
As generations passed, the legend faded into obscurity, relegated to bedtime stories and cautionary tales. But now, as the world stood on the brink of upheaval and old rivalries threatened to resurface, whispers of the Beast Groom echoed once more through the forest, stirring ancient magic from its slumber.
And so, as the moon rose high in the sky and the stars aligned, the stage was set for a tale of love, sacrifice, and redemption—a tale in which the fate of both human and beast would be forever entwined in the tapestry of destiny.
