The discovery of the 
and 
resonances in the charmed-strange meson spectra revealed that formerly successful constituent quark models lose predictability in the vicinity of two-meson thresholds. The emergence of non-negligible effects due to meson loops requires an explicit evaluation of the interplay between 
and 
Fock components. In contrast to the 
sector, there is no experimental evidence of 
bottom–strange states yet. Motivated by recent lattice studies, in this work the heavy-quark partners of the 
and states are analyzed within a heavy meson chiral unitary scheme. As a novelty, the coupling between the constituent quark-model P-wave scalar and axial mesons and the 
channels is incorporated employing an effective interaction, consistent with heavy-quark spin symmetry, constrained by the lattice energy levels.
