Beast Control

Sovereign of the Beasts

Marina Velkas never asked to rule. Once an Imperial Knight, now an appointed Governor, she is sent to the lawless kingdom of Aeger—a land of excess, ruled by the infamous twin kings, Ruyi and Ruyel Vael’Tyrr. The two brothers are brilliant warriors but self-indulgent rulers, turning Aeger into a city of pleasure, vice, and unchecked power. From the moment Marina arrives, she is undermined, and dismissed as nothing more than a temporary nuisance. But unlike her predecessors, she does not yield. Armed with ruthless determination, she takes the first step toward reform—only to realize that she has not just challenged a city’s corruption… she has declared war on its kings. Ruyi, the golden lion shifter, is an enigma of cruelty and charm, his every action laced with dangerous amusement. He rules through indulgence, his body a weapon—both in battle and in desire. He touches only to destroy, yet Marina defies his grasp. Ruyel, the white tiger shifter, is silent and unshakable, an executioner with no patience for distractions. Unlike his brother, he does not play games—but when Marina refuses to bow, something buried deep within him stirs. The more Marina fights, the more they take notice. The more she resists, the more they are drawn to her. But in Aeger, power is never freely given. And when desire and dominance collide, the battle for control becomes something far more dangerous than she ever imagined. She was sent to govern. She might just become a queen. But first, she must survive. [The first volume is seductive feline courtship and rather wholesome, but the first chapter is a throw forward to what would happen later.] ________________________________________ Excerpt: The Courtroom Duel Ruyi: “Denied.” Marina: “Of course it is.” Ruyel: “Try again with something less useless.” Marina: “Oh, I didn’t realize starving citizens were a matter of inconvenience to Your Majesties.” Ruyi: “They’re not starving. They’re simply unmotivated.” Marina: “Perhaps if you put more coin into infrastructure instead of your endless banquets, motivation wouldn’t be an issue.” Ruyel: “Careful, Governor. That sounds dangerously close to insubordination.” Marina: “And what will you do? Execute me for stating facts?” Ruyi: “Tempting, but then it would be too much paperwork?” Ruyel: “Answering another one of elder sister's calls isn't on my agenda.” Marina: “I just want a fair negotiation.” Ruyi: “It was, until you became insufferable.” Marina: “How terrible for you. A woman you can’t silence.” Ruyel: “Not yet.” (Laughter ripples through the court.) The Tiger’s Sparring Ground Marina: “Stop touching me like that.” Ruyel: “I’m correcting your stance.” Marina: “Find another student.” Ruyel: “I can’t.” Marina: “Why?” Ruyel: “Because no one else is worth my time.” Marina: “Then suffer alone.” Ruyel: “Oh, but I enjoy watching you suffer with me.” Marina: “You’re insufferable.” Ruyel: “And yet, your legs tremble every time I step too close.” Marina: “That’s from exhaustion.” Ruyel: “Liar.” Marina: “Get off me.” Ruyel: “No.” Marina: “I hate you.” Ruyel: “I know.” (Silence. Still trapped in his arms.) The Lion’s Den Marina: “Stop distracting me.” Ruyi: “But you’re so cute when you’re angry.” Marina: “You humiliated me today.” Ruyi: “And now I’m making up for it.” Marina: “By crawling into my bed?” Ruyi: “By holding the most important person in Aeger.” Marina: “I hate you.” Ruyi: “I know. Now, let me warm you up.” Marina: “You rejected my proposal.” Ruyi: “And I will approve it first thing in the morning.” Marina: “You—what?” Ruyi: “The only reason Aeger has more welfare programs than the empire now is because of how cute you are when you argue.” Marina: “That is not how governance works.” Ruyi: “That is exactly how governance works.” Marina: “You—” Ruyi: “Shh. Sleep, Marina.” (Tomorrow, the court will call her Governor. But tonight, she holds the true power.)

The Art of Control and Manipulation

In the shadows of the ancient Vast Forest, where whispers of power and temptation weave through the trees, two souls—Veer and Zara—find themselves on a journey that will test the limits of desire, control, and the very fabric of their reality. Nestled in the heart of Uttarakhand, Rudrapur is a bustling city where the allure of the affluent Upper Districts, the ambition of the working-class Middle Districts, and the untamed mystique of the Lower Districts collide. At the city's edge, the Vast Forest looms—a place of mystery, legend, and dark enchantment. As tales of strange creatures and supernatural forces swirl in the air, Veer, a young man born into a family of wealth and influence, feels a powerful pull toward the forest's depths. Beneath the surface of his perfect life, something stirs—something that calls him into the darkness. In this world, where power is not only measured in wealth but in manipulation, Veer is about to confront his greatest challenge yet: Zara. Beautiful, enigmatic, and impossibly alluring, Zara is no ordinary human. Her mesmerizing presence hides a deadly secret—she possesses the ability to manipulate emotions and desires with a mere glance or touch. Her seduction is more than physical; it's a dangerous game of control, where every action she takes serves a deeper, more calculated purpose. But Zara is not alone. Her mentor, the mysterious and powerful Seraphina—a humanoid creature with her own agenda—has taught her the art of seduction and manipulation, making Zara a force to be reckoned with. As Veer delves deeper into the secrets of his family, the forest, and his own heart, he becomes entwined in a web of love, lust, and power. Zara, both a guide and a manipulator, leads him through the tangled emotions of their relationship, pushing him to question his own desires and motivations. In a world where every action has consequences, Veer must decide whether to embrace or resist the seductive power Zara holds over him, while navigating the treacherous world of his family’s business, secrets, and betrayals. Amidst the raw beauty of the forest, the intrigue of Rudrapur's elite, and the looming threat of the supernatural, Veer will be forced to make choices that will shape his destiny. Will he succumb to the temptation of power, or will he rise above the manipulative forces pulling at his heart? In this game of seduction and control, every decision matters. And in the battle for power, only the strongest will survive.

Awaken the ability to control SS-level beasts.

In a world filled with strange phenomena where people and beasts coexist, humans possess the ability to control powerful beasts. A young man named Gu Tian met his end in his original world, but his fate did not conclude there. A mysterious force drew his soul into a new world, where he was reborn as a newborn in a world completely different from his previous one. In this world, everyone, upon reaching the age of 18, awakens at least one innate talent, which ranges across eight levels: SSS, SS, S, A, B, C, D, and F. These talents often shape a person's destiny, determining the path of their future life, barring any external support, such as family or other influences. Gu Tian was born into a family of powerful beast tamers. Both his parents are highly respected beast tamers, and his grandfather is considered a living legend, which set a seemingly smooth path for Gu Tian's life from the start. In this world, beast tamers are categorized by levels. Each level allows a tamer to form a contract with only one beast per level unless they possess a talent to increase the number of contracts. The power levels are as follows Black Iron Bronze Silver Gold Platinum Emerald Diamond King Epic Emperor Each power level is further divided into four sub-levels: Low, Mid, High, and Supreme. A tamer's level corresponds to the highest level of their contracted beast. For instance, a Platinum-level beast tamer with a Low Platinum beast as their strongest contract will also be Low Platinum. Beasts have a potential rank indicating how far they can evolve, mirroring the levels of tamers: Black Iron, Bronze, Silver… up to Emperor.
