Marriage of convenience turns into something more. Is it lust or love? Warning : This story has explicit sexual content.

It took the Beasts mere weeks to overthrow the human government and eliminate most of the population. Those who survived were put into slavery, forced to spend their lives serving the royal families and wealthier Beasts. Adeline has been a servant for the royals for as long as she can remember. It's hard work, but she feels lucky to be born and raised in King Richard's kingdom. He's a kind ruler, and his humans are often treated well. King Heloix, on the other hand, is known for his ruthlessness. He has little tolerance for his fellow Beasts, and even less for humans. Rumors are that his servants are often killed as punishment for even the smallest mishaps, and to survive even a year while working for him is an accomplishment. When Adeline is transferred to King Heloix's castle, it takes him only seconds to recognize who she is to him. Will he accept her as his mate or reject her existence? ⚠️THIS BOOK CONTAINS MATURE AND TRIGGERING THEMES⚠️

Will Khushi ever accept his advances? Will the lust ever change in love? And will they know? What's the end of this Kalanked immoral attraction? Based in Medieval India...to be exact 14th century, the novel is a journey of Prince Arnav and Queen Khushi's temptation, where Prince is snobbish, cold-hearted and arrogant. On the other hand Queen is quite opposite, a naive and inexperienced maiden. The story has adult themes, so your discretion matters. Now let's talk about the title. The literal meaning of the hindi word 'Kalank' is blemish. But here it is used in the sense of 'recrimination'. The story is not completely based on KJ movie, so you can breath a sigh😜😜😜. Just to inform the readers that my story is inspired from one of my favourite fanfictions which was left incomplete by its author...
