Page 15 of The Royal Beast & His Queen

Her tears slipped down as soon as she got into her husband's car and the partition was up.

Abhyansh took his wife in his arms wiping her tears gently, his external demeanor was calm but internally he was equally burning with rage seeing his wife's tears.

"Don't cry, we'll make him cry instead...", he said

"I am hurt... I feel betrayed, I can't hide my pain anymore, I might have become strong but I can't stop these stupid tearswhen it comes to you or bhai... You won't hurt me like this right ?", she asked and he pulled her more into his arms rubbing her back and forearm, wiping her tears...

His heart constricted at the sight of his wife's tears, he never thought he could again get affected emotionally by any human's pain but then his wife entered his life changing everything. He is not much of a talker but his demeanor, his eyes, and his rate of breath told his state to his wife. Isha recognized her husband's distress, she knew any more tears from her eyes could threaten her brother's life and she put a halt on her dam.

"Rana sa... Relax... I'm okay now", Isha said rubbing his arm after a complete silence of 15 minutes.

"Don't ask me to relax, ask your brother to get his ways straight before I kill him", he said with his raging breath...

"Okay, I'll tell him, now calm down, your blood pressure must be so high now", she said rubbing his thudding heart, he slowly calmed down but his anger on his brother-in-law hadn't calmed yet and it will stay until he thrashes him.

They reached home, Isha prepared snacks for Avyan who'd be home in the next one hour, before taking coffee to her husband.

"Rana sa... Here", she said handing him his coffee. She sat on the arm of his chair holding his shoulder for support while he had his coffee.

"Sit comfortably here, the chair is big enough", he said pointing towards the space beside him on the throne chair.

"Can we go see Sharah and Veera", she said leaving him surprised. "Don't be so surprised, it's been so long, so I just want to see them, we can go later if you are busy", she said

"We can go but are you sure you won't be scared", he said trying hard to hide his smirk while she glared at him...

"Stop making fun of me, I just got a little afraid last time", she said

"Little ? They can't stay away from you while you won't let them anywhere near you, I am struggling in between", he said remembering the last time they went there while Isha hit him on his shoulder for teasing her.

Isha likes to see them from a distance while they like to stay near their Rani sa, they kept coming towards her and Isha kept screaming at him to keep them away. This is every time thing and now he got so used to it but he definitely want to change it badly.

"Rana sa, will you take me to them Or not ?", Isha asked and Abhyansh nodded.

"What's the use ? You visited them so many times yet you are scared of them", Abhyansh said while the couple walked towards the back palace.

"I am trying Rana sa", Isha said

"I know you are, when did I deny it ? But you need to try harder to get over your fear, have trust in me, they will never harm you, they will give up their life for you but can never even cause a scratch to you...", Abhyansh said taking his wife's palm in his and rubbing it.

"Rana sa, I trust you more than myself, I know you wouldn't let me breathe the same air as them if you have even an ounce of doubt of harm for me", she said

"Don't love them from far, take them into your arms and love them from near, make them accustomed to your touch", he said and she looked at him as if he was an alien. "Today we'll make it possible", he added, What he was saying had a deeper meaning to it, and for some reason, Isha got the seriousness underlying his tone so she just nodded.

Isha knew most of the secret passages to the back palace, but he wanted her to get ready for the worst, during adverse times, Sharah and Veera are their biggest saviors, the biggest advantage is they can never betray Ranawat blood, especially anyone related to Abhyansh. He wants them to get accustomed to Isha, so that they not only love her but also learn to obey her.

They reached the back palace and Abhyansh ordered the limited staff to stay inside their respective rooms as he and his queen needed privacy with their pets alone.

Sharah and Veera ran towards their king as soon as they heard Abhyansh's booming voice. They ran to him and he as usual patted them with love. Isha was standing a bit away and staringat them with love, suddenly they noticed Isha's presence and ran towards her, Isha was about to step back but her husband's powerful tone stopped her from doing that.

"S.T.A.Y RIGHT THERE", he said in his cold and determined tone which no human could dare to disobey, his wife is no exception. She tightly closed her eyes and let them come near her. They wrapped their limbs around her growling happily seeing their Rani sa and now touching her for the first time. She felt her husband's rough palm on her face and that's when she opened her eyes, her labored breath came down seeing him. She burst out crying in fear and Sharah and Veera growled seeing her in tears. Just like they couldn't see Abhyansh in pain, they couldn't see Isha's tears as well. Abhyansh smirked at how well his training worked.

After Isha's breakdown, Abhyansh took her to the middle of the hall and made her sit on the floor, he sat beside her, and Sharah and Veera settled around them...

"Sorry that you are scared so much but please understand my bacha, this is necessary, everything I do is for your benefit, trust me, at one point in time, when everything around is giving you distress and you are in dire need of peace, they will provide you that", Abhyansh said wiping the dried tears and she looked at him with the same innocent eyes he fell in love with every time he looked into them.

Seeing he was really sorry, she slightly nodded her head. "So does that mean I am forgiven ?", he asked and she nodded againmaking him smile, he pulled her into his lap nuzzling his chin making her giggle as his beard tickled her. Sharah and Veera got happy seeing their king and queen all smiles.

Abhyansh noticed how Isha did not oppose to how near Sharah was to her, Sharah sat near Isha while Veera sat on Abhyansh's side. Seeing her getting slightly comfortable, he thought of helping her get used to them even more.
