"Do not overthink," Jason spoke up again. "I am the same Jason, it is just that I am more than what you people think I am..."He was not someone so weak like most of the people took him for. He only became that in front of Sunna. She was one of the only few people that could make him soften to that point.Deagan nodded his head. He just wanted to know what the man was after. Things about him being someone different write supposed to be none of his business."So... I do not know if you are aware that there ever existed only three of these papers?" He asked.There were only three original papers of that kind from his level of knowledge.And all of them was for the three people at the Shadow Kempt Valley. One of which was his adopted dad, the biological dad to his older step brother.The second was Malden's wife and the third was Deagan's mom, the wife to the king!But Deagan shook his head immediately. He did not know if they were three. He just knew that they were something that could
Deagan nodded in relief. That was better. Things would only get worse if more people knew about the valley.The fewer they were, the safer it was for everyone. Too many people knowing it was like calling for trouble."So... I am not forcing you into accepting this. You can take your time to analyse everything. If you are not willing to help, then I will have to find the other person..."It felt like a threat to Deagan. But he just laughed it off.Like.... Since when did anyone ever beging yo threaten him? Who the hell was he?"Is there something you want in return?" He asked. He knew that this man would not do all these things for nothing.That was how everyone was. They would struggle to do something, or even pose a threat at you, only because there was something they wanted to gain.Jason smiled at the question. But he did not reply to it. Instead, he took three syringes from his pockets. "I risked and visited the valley by myself," he said. Deagan sat up in shock. He thought that h
Jason sighed again. "I am not an enemy for now," he said almost quietly. But he was loud enough for Deagan to hear. "Neither did I say that I want to take her from you..."Deagan sighed too. He turned and looked at the man. "What do you want then?"Why was he talking about the things that hurt now? Why was he getting hurt by seeing them together?He had an option of going far away, a place that he would not be able to run into them. He had no other choice now.Jason was so silent for a while like he was battling with his own thoughts. His lips would move like he wanted to say something, but he was holding himself back.Then at last, he looked up at Deagan. "I accepted the fact that she is married to you. But I just want to see her this once. I want to know how she is fairing on."He had heard that she had been kidnapped or something, this was not very clear to him.He had also heard that she had been hospitalized. But it was late when he got the news, and when he visited, she had bee
Deagan had a heavy heart even after leaving the office. Even though he had agreed to letting Jason see Sunna again, he was still feeling jealous about it.He would have wanted so much to turn down the man. He would have wanted to tell him to keep his distance from Sunna.He would have so much wanted to inform him that no other was allowed to look at her, leave alone meeting her or being friends with her.But again, Sunna was a human being. She was someone who would make her own decisions.And more, she was grown up now. It was like in the past when she was young and she had to depend on him for anything.Neither was it all those times that he had to make decisions for her, to restrict her.He did not have to decide for her what was right or what was wrong anymore. Since she was a grown up, he wanted to trust in every decision that she would make.He wanted to give her the right to her privacy, the right to freedom so that she would do her own things.He did not want her to ever live i
So, all that was making the man laugh like that was because of the blood. He thought that he, Deagan, was becoming so stupid to allow someone fool him?It was not like he trusted Jason fully. But he had only listened because he knew that there was Malden to prove everything to him."This blood cannot be from the demigods," Malden spoke up again. "Who is capable of reaching them?"Deagan sighed again. "That was the reason I came to you. But maybe I was wrong. I did not know that you would end up laughing at me."He had come to find him because he was well aware that this man always had a solution to almost everything.But now, it seemed like he was just king fun of him.Malden laughed again. "No... I really meant nothing... But, we can as well as try it. It is so easy knowing which blood belongs to a demigod and which does not.""Is it?" Deagan asked, his eyes lighting up. He wanted to get the solution to that very soon. Maybe like that, his life with Sunna was going to be fine without
Deagan pursed his lips again. He wished there was another way of handling things other than that. But all his wishes were just wishes."That you will not get hurt yourself," he said quietly. "I am coming in should anything go wrong."Of course, he was never going to think about any other thing should Malden be in any kind of danger. He was going to involve himself no matter what awaited him."Okay," Malden said. He was determined to handle things his own way. Deagan had to be there for Sunna. He was not going to allow him to get involved.He was going to make sure that things happened as he had planned. And he was also going to ensure that no one was hurt at the end of everything.Deagan sighed in dissatisfaction. But he still chose to let things be as they were.He had even thought that Malden would tell her that he was willing to let him in. But it all looked like a bad dream."So, are you going to check if the blood really belonged to the werewolves?" He asked. He decided to put hi
Deagan looked back at him calmly, like nothing really mattered. Even though he was not used to this, he had to accept this.But since young, there was really nothing that Malden ever kept away from him. This was the first thing ever!He had been used to the life where he would be told anything he asked from him, no matter how dangerous it could be.So, only one thing played in his mind when he tried to think about this. He knew that it was something very dangerous, something that even he, Malden was scared of."But since you look like you want to kill me, I will do it," Malden added. He could see that Deagan looked so disappointed."Just tell me," Deagan said. "I told you that I will listen to you..."Malden raised his hands. "Only under one condition...""Mmh?" Deagan asked. What condition was his condition this time?"That these are left with me..." Malden said. That was what he wanted."Okay," Deagan said after a while. After all, he had expected that.He threw him a look, but it w
Sunna was resting in her room, that was now their, when Deagan came home.As usual, she waited for him to give her a kiss when he walked closer to the bed. That was what he would always do every time he came home.However, she was so shocked when the men prolonged the kiss and pressed her against the bed."Dee..." She called in shock. She could not understand what it was that was making him behave like that all of a sudden."Do not move of you do not want to get hurt," Deagan warned her as his hands went all over him.Sunna gasped. "Dee..." She called again. "Had they not agreed that he would not touch her until she was well?"She even regretted having listened to him. It was just yesterday when he made the promise. But he has changed his mind already."Yes dear?" Deagan asked as he took a breath. But not even once did his hands stop moving.Sunna sighed. "What are you doing?" She asked. She was scared of fighting with him because she knew that she was going to get hurt of she did.De
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
