"Thank you big brother!" She said and kissed his cheeks. "I love you!"Deagan's heart beat so loud when she said that. But he felt bad when he realized that she meant nothing more.She was saying she loved him because he was her brother, nothing more.So, he just held her hand as they headed to his room. Something was telling him to use that chance to claim her. She loved him after all, so she would not hate him.But he just could not bring himself to do it. He felt like she needed to ripen a little more. He did not want her to wilt before her time.When they got to bed, he covered her well and then slept at the other side of the bed. His head was just a mess.But the girl looked at him in confusion. "You are not hugging me today?" She asked."Sunna..."The girl moved closer to him and put her hands around his waist, her head on his chest, and closed her eyes.Her actions made the man stiffen,but he did not push her away. After some seconds, he wrapped his hands around her like he ha
He had actually cried. And he wondered why his mom had not tried escaping too. Maybe she would have found this man and he would have helped her too.Seeing him cry, the man had looked at him. "You look like a royal. Are you one?" He had asked.But Deagan had remained silent. He had been told not to reveal his identity to anyone so that he could be safe."Do not worry, I know what that feels. Just know like someone like you is not supposed to cry. Stand strong, and face what that comes your way," he had said.Those were the words that had kept him going all those years. They were the strongest words anyone had ever said to him."My name is Malden Delmar," the man had said and extended his hand to the boy."I am Deagan..." Deagan had replied. He did not want to say his second name so that he could never be identified by anyone."Delmar," the man had replied with smile. "Tell them you are Delmar. No one will touch you... Or know of your identity."Deagan had nodded in understanding. He
He knew that these were just some werewolves. But he had never seen them before. It was obvious that they had been sent by someone."No one," one of the men said with a straight face. It seemed like they already knew that there was no way for them to escape."Oh, really?" Deagan asked with raised brows. "You are not going to say who?"They remained silent. They did not say anything more."Okay," he nodded his head. "I thought you would be clever enough to know who I am. No one tries touching her and escapes," he added and pulled out his phone and called someone.He was a man who was time conscious. He did not see the need to waste his time on those people. He had better things to do.And only a while later, three men, led by Cuava came in. "Lock them up in the dungeon, we shall exhort information from them," Deagan said and went to back to his room....When Sunna opened her eyes in the morning, she was a bit surprised by her new environment.But she quickly sat up when she remembere
And that was how he took full responsibility of her. He made sure she had all she wanted. He wanted to make sure that she did not think about her mom anymore."Brother?" Sunna waved her hands in front of his eyes. He seemed so absentminded.And he came back to his senses. "Mmh?" He looked at her. He was so much into his thoughts that he forgot that he too was supposed to eat."Are you not eating?" She asked and scooped some foods with her spoon, bringing it close to his mouth.Deagan hesitated for some seconds before he opened his mouth and ate the food."It tastes good eating from your spoon," he said and smiled at her. "Feed me more."And the naive Sunna only smiled as she scooped more food for him. She thought that it was just like any other compliment he always said to her.Deagan's Adams Apple moved up at down when she smiled that sweetly. And he sighed at himself. What kind of life was that?He loved her so much. He wanted to pull her to himself and kiss her senseless. But he co
They all turned to look at Sunna's phone that was ringing. It had been replaced early in the morning.She picked it up, seeing who was calling. "Yes?" She said."Where have been Sunna?" The person from the other end asked. He seemed worried. "We were supposed to meet today, remember?"Sunna opened her eyes wide. "Ah Jason?" She said with guilt. "Is it Saturday today? My phone got lost. I am really sorry...""Where are you? I am waiting for you at our agreed place," the person from the other side said. "Come, okay?""Um..." Sunna pursed her lips as she looked at Deagan. "Let me call you after a minute please..." She said and hanged up."Brother..." "Who is Jason?" Deagan asked calmly, looking at her keenly. He did not like hearing her say any other man's name.Sunna smiled at him. "He is my friend at campus... We were supposed to meet today," she said."A man?" Deagan raised his brows at her. Did she want to go and meet a man? "Are you going to see a man?""He is just my friend... Can
However, just as he wanted to enjoy her taste, someone hit him on the back, and he was thrown away that he almost fell.Sunna, who was about to cry looked up in shock. And she felt like digging a hole hide herself in when she saw her brother in front of her.Sunna, who was about to cry looked up in shock. And she felt like digging a hole to hide herself in when she saw her brother in front of her."Brother?" She called in confusion as she tensed up. How did he come here?Deagan stared at the man on the other side. And he felt his blood boiling again.Did he just kiss Sunna? Did he kiss her? He deserved to die!He took steps towards him and held him by the neck, hitting him on the face again.Jason groaned in pain, and Sunna began trembling. She knew that her brother would hurt Jason if she did not come in."Brother..." She called as she hugged him. " Stop!"She knew that Jason was wrong for trying to kiss her, but she did not want him to be hurt.She was hugging him tightly, so it was
He had never been so mad to the point that he refused to talk to her. This was the first time.She tried wiping away her tears and looked outside the window too. She was getting worried.Could it be that Deagan had actually found someone that he liked more? And now he did not want to be associated with her?Maybe she was actually grown up enough? Maybe it was really time for her to start living her own life?But was it not right for her to find herself a boyfriend when she had grown up as they had said?Even though that boyfriend could not be Jason, she thought she had the right to do what she wanted.Why was Deagan so mad at her because of that? And he did not even give her a chance to explain herself!However, Deagan did not even say a thing about her crying. It was not like the other times where she would cry and he would hug her and wipe away her tears. Instead, today he started the car and drove off.When the car stopped at home, Sunna opened the door and left. She did not even t
Something clicked in his mind, and he immediately sensed trouble. Yes, there was trouble!However, he slowly closed the door behind him and left. But he was still shocked.Just when he left, Deagan sat up and scratched his head. Had he done a mistake?The moment the door had been opened, he had woken up. But he had feared when he saw that it was Malden.What could you do when your adoptive dad found you in his daughter's bed at night?It was not like they were doing anything. But he knew it would be difficult to explain himself.That was why he pretended to be asleep too. But he was also troubled.Did he have to talk to the man and tell him the truth?Did he have to tell him that he loved his daughter?How was he ever going to say that when Malden knew that he was engaged and that he was supposed to marry abd become the next king of the wolves? He would assume that he just wanted to use his daughter and dump her afterwards.He sighed. But he still pulled Sunna close to himself and co
After the grand wedding ceremony, Deagan and Sunna returned to the palace as husband and wife. Sunna's pregnancy was now more visible, but she was glowing with happiness. Deagan had been sworn in as the new king, following the customs of the kingdom. However, it was not an ordinary transition of power. Prior to the wedding, Deagan and his father, King Alfrond, had signed an agreement that would bring significant changes to the kingdom.As per the agreement, Deagan was now the rightful king of the kingdom, but he had to make some important amendments to the existing laws. The most important amendment that he made was to banish all forms of discrimination between werewolves, vampires, demigods, and humans. This was a bold move, as discrimination had been part of the kingdom's culture for centuries. But Deagan was determined to bring positive change to the kingdom, and he knew that this was the right thing to do.On the day of his coronation, Deagan made a speech that change the cour
After their visit to the palace, Deagan and Sunna had to face the pressure from both the palace and home to announce their upcoming wedding date. King Alfrond had made it clear that he wanted a grand wedding befitting a prince, while Sunna's parents were eager to see their daughter wedded to her prince charming.Deagan had been taking his time because he wanted to hold the grandest wedding for Sunna. He wanted every detail to be perfect, from the venue to the flowers, to the food and drinks. He had been secretly planning the wedding with the help of the palace staff, but he had not yet set a date.But with the pressure from both the palace and home, Deagan knew he couldn't wait any longer. He had to announce the wedding date and start the preparations.He too wanted to marry her in the right way now. Of course, they had the certificates, but he wanted to legalize it. He did not want then to be married only in papers.He gathered his family and Sunna's family in the grand hall of the
...Deagan woke up early to make sure everything was ready. He packed Sunna's bags and left a note on her pillow, telling her to be ready to leave in an hour.When Sunna woke up and read the note, she was confused. She had no idea where they were going or what they were doing. She was sure that Deagan had not told her anything about travelling.Still, she quickly got dressed and packed took her bags, wondering what surprise Deagan had in store for her.Deagan picked Sunna up in his black limousine and took her to the airport. Sunna was still in the dark about where they were going, but she was excited to find out.When they arrived at the airport, Deagan surprised Sunna with first-class tickets to Country P. She couldn't believe it. She had always wanted to visit Country P, and now she was finally going."Why didn't you tell me earlier?" She asked, trying to force a pout, but the joy on her face betrayed her.Deagan chuckled and pinched her nose. "It would not be a surprise if I told
...During dinner, the family was seated around the table enjoying their meal. Sunna, who had been unusually quiet during dinner, waited until everyone was done eating before looking at Deagan and smiling.She announced that she had something to say, which made her dad, mom, and Deagan look at her anxiously. Sunna slowly took out a piece of paper from her pocket and handed it to Deagan. Deagan creased his brows, wondering what she was up to. "What is this?" He asked.But the girl just smiled. "You can read, right?" She asked.Deagan sighed and ran his eyes over the words on the paper. And was surprised to see that it was a pregnancy test result."You are pregnant?" Deagan asked in shock. His face was dark that she could not read his emotions.Sunna nodded in fear, scared that Deagan would not be happy about the news. "How old abd when did you find it out?" He asked, looking straight at her.Sunna clenched her fists, her other hand holding onto her belly. It was funny though that she
Deagan held her tightly with a smile and looked around the room. "Where is dad?" He asked.And it was only then that Sunna remembered that there were other people she was supposed to inform that Deagan was awake."Dad! Mom! Everyone! Deagan is awake!" Sunna shouted with excitement, unable to contain her joy. It was a moment she had been waiting for days, and it had finally come.Sunna could not believe it. Deagan was finally awake, and the joy and relief were palpable in the room. She watched as her dad, mom, and everyone else rushed into the room to see for themselves.As everyone gathered around the bed, they could not help but smile and celebrate. Deagan's dad, Alfrond, and his mom, Della, arrived shortly after they received the news, and they too were overjoyed.Sunna felt grateful that she had her family around to share the moment with her. It had been a difficult time, and now, things had gotten well.People from the palace, led by Alfrond and Della arrived shortly after they we
A few more days went by, and Sunna never got tired of taking care of Deagan. She would sit beside him and talk to him at times crying. It felt so bad that he was unconscious and not talking back. But she hoped that one day, he would. Today was no different. She sat beside him and held his hand, reminding him of the things that they had done together. She talked about herself, about her stay abroad and all the new things she had learnt. She never got tired of saying all these to him."You said you were strong! Why are you even sleeping here? You are a coward Deagan!" She said. She was trying everything to wake him up. She thought that maybe, by trying to say all those things, he would wake up."I have something good to tell you, do you not want to wake up?" She asked again, but still there was no response. It was frustrating, but she knew that there was nothing she could do about it."Since you cannot wake up, I am going to find myself another man to marry," Sunna said at last in an
"Honey... Deagan," Malden spoke, but he kept throwing glances at Talia, not sure how he was supposed to say that."Dad? Did something happen?" Sunna was getting impatient. She hoped that it was just some kind of trick they were playing on her.Malden sighed and took a step towards her. "I am not sure how to tell you this dear..." He began speaking.However, Sunna assumed him and looked at the room upstairs. Immediately, she ran up the stairs. She was going to check up for him everywhere!However, just as she pushed open the door to his room, she froze in place. Sunna could not believe what she was seeing. Her Deagan, the man she loved more than anything in the world, lay unconscious before her. Tubes and wires were attached to his body, and machines beeped ominously in the background. She felt like her world was crashing down around her.She ran towards him, her heart beating so fast. She even prayed that it was just somebody else lying there, and not him.But all she could see was h
Sunna's heart was racing as she read the message from her dad. Finally, after months of being away from home, she was going to be reunited with her family. Being away from home for four months was too much, and though she had enjoyed her time away, she was now more than ready to return home. She immediately passed the message to Gerry, who was still around to keep her company even though they had finished studying a month ago."Finally!" Gerry said happily. "I know you cannot wait to see him!" Deagan had asked her to keep Sunna company until the day that they had to go back home. And being her friend, she had been more that willing to do that.She had enjoyed her stay abroad, and now, she too was ready to go back home.As they packed their bags, Sunna could not help but wonder what it would be like to be back in her childhood home. Would everything be the same? Or would everything be different? She was filled with joy at the thought of finding out.As she packed, Sunna thought abou
After everyone had left, Deagan proceeded to take a seat as he wiped sweat off his head.Malden looked at him and creased his brows. Of course, he had been observing him from the time he got off the bed."Are you okay?" He asked and walked towards him. And Deagan nodded his head continuously. "Yes, I am okay," he said, trying to put on a smile. "You keep mom company..."He could not just tell them that his body was not okay. The truth was that he was trying to act well from the very beginning. He had already felt the change in his body.But Talia shook her head. "You are not fine," she said. "The blood you gave us was way too much.""I am fine," Deagan said and stood up. He wanted to go to his room and take a rest. He was telling himself that he would feel better once he woke up.However, the next moment, he fell to the ground. Talia rushed to take a look at him. "Deagan?" She called with fear.Malden's heart was heavy with worry as he watched Deagan fall to the ground, losing consci
