... Once they appeared in front the crowd of people, there was a lot of shouting.Usually, there was always independent people who were like the overall people.Their work was always mediated between the king and the subjects whenever there was an issue and give solutions. They were called the non lead elders.And they were known always never to be biased. They would always make the best decisions for the wellness of their people.And here they were, in front of the people too.The king stopped in front of the crowd, with Deagan on his side and his assistant on the other.Some people from the crowd were already pointing their fingers at Deagan, calling him a bastard and someone who was not worthy of being their leader.But since the palace guards were there, they ensured that the two were not injured in any way.And it was not like he minded. He remained so calm all through, like nothing happening concerned him.With the help of the guards, the other non lead leaders were able to cal
...Early the next day, Deagan met with Malden some distance from the palace. He was glad that even at such a time, the man was there to help him out."How did it go?" Malden asked calmly once they were seated."It worked out," Deagan explained. "We even managed to change the minds of the subjects. I think we have some time to act before they are corrupted again.""Do not worry about that," Malden said. " What does your dad say? Does he have any plan?" Deagan was silent for a while before he shook his head. "He seems confused. There are some rumours that my mom could still be alive..."Malden nodded his head. "I have heard about them too. And that is why I asked to meet you."Deagan sat straight on his chair. "Could it be true?" He asked. "I am not sure yet," Malden said with a sigh. "We should look for any possible leads so that we find her as soon as possible if she is still alive."If she was still alive, they needed to find her and ensure her safety. Then if she was really human
Malden smiled when Deagan said that. "You read my books?" He asked.Deagan smiled back. "You did not say it was wrong to read them," he said stubbornly.Yes, he had always seen the man read the so many books that he had hidden in his secret shelf.And since he always took him as his mentor, he had also tried reading as much as he could."Okay..." Malden said in surrender, lifting his hands up. "I agree I did not say it was a sin."And they both laughed. That was how they were always on normal days. And it was always so good."I thought that those were just myths," Deagan said. He still did not want to believe that all those stories in the books were real."It is the same with us," Malden said. "Very few humans believe in the existence of werewolves had vampires. But here we are...""I understand," Deagan nodded. "It made sense."But if his mom was really that... How were they ever going to find her.And... Was she just that powerful? Why didn't she fight those people that day and save
...Deagan had just finished explaining everything that they had found out to the king when a guard came to announce the presence of a visitor."Who is it?" The king asked. With so many things happening, he was not in the mood to see anyone."Farri," the guard replied. And the two looked at each other."I will be taking my leave then," Deagan said. He knew that Farri was not supposed to see him there at such a time or he would suspect something."I will communicate," the king said and led him out through the back door.When he came back, Farri was already waiting in his chambers. "To what do I honour your presence this early Farri?" he asked calmly.Even after learning of the man's true intentions, he still tried acting normal and with respect."Cut the crap my king," Farri said, something that he had never done before. "Do not pretend that you do not know what that is happening."The king was a bit surprised that he had the courage to say that. No one in the whole kingdom had ever da
...After thinking for so long, Deagan dressed up and headed to the airport.He was in a state of dilemma. This was the time that his dad, the king, had given him the permission to marry Sunna.But at the same time, Sunna had turned him down just a few days ago.But after thinking for a while, he decided to try his luck again. He wanted to go and see her, and confess to her yet another time.And if she gave in to him, he would go abroad with her, and spend some lonely time with her.It would be so wonderful, just having the two of them by themselves.Before heading home, he bought a bouquet of roses. Even if he was not going to hold a very big confession for her, he thought he needed to have atleast some flowers.All the way, his heart was pounding so hard, as he tried thinking of the possibilities of either being accepted or being turned down.He passed by her school room first, and he was surprised not to find her. So he went home directly.But just when he walked into the living ro
When Malden came home, almost in the middle of the night, it was all quiet.But he slightly stopped when he noticed the flowers in the trash can in the living room.He tried looking at the carefully, wondering why they were there, and how they ended up in the trash can. However, it did not add up for him.After some seconds, he walked upstairs, to the first floor. But looking at Sunna's room that was wide open, she was not there.He felt a little uneasy. But he relaxed when he thought that maybe she was at school.However, just as he wanted to head to his room, he noticed that the lights in his study on the second floor were still on.He walked up to check, because he was sure that he had not left them on the last time he was there.However, he froze when he saw Sunna curled up at the door, obviously sleeping.What was she doing there at such a time?He lifted her up immediately. She was all cold, and he feared that she would get sick.He felt so confused. What was she doing there? He
"You can still talk to him, okay?" Malden said. He did not like seeing her like that.A tear had forcefully fallen out of Sunna's eyes. And Malden raised his hand to wipe it away.But he froze when his hands came into contact with her skin. "Sunna...you..."Why was she that hot? She was running a fever!"Mmh?" Sunna looked up at him, a little confused by his actions.Malden raised her head and looked at her face. It was red, and that was a clear sign of fever."You are running a fever dear," he said as he remembered how he had found her curled on the floor yesterday.Sunna froze. Yes, she was feeling unwell when she opened her eyes. It was the same now. Because even her throat felt sore."You caught cold yesterday," Malden said and held her hand. "We shall go to the hospital..."But Sunna shook her head immediately. "Dad, I am not sick," she said. "I am not sick.""Huh! But I can see that," Malden said with a sigh. That was her. She was always so scared of hospitals and treatment.Sun
Sunna went to the place where the garbage was always thrown and searched through until she found the so much ruined roses.She looked at them carefully, imagining how it would have been if he had handed them to her personally.It would have been so good, and maybe, she would have given in him this time.But she had ruined it herself. She should not have allowed herself to be hugged by Jason.With tears still welling in her eyes, she carried the flowers to the house and washed them well.Then she cut off the most destroyed parts and tried bringing the others into shape.She did it with all her concentration that Auntie Sam became confused. She was not very sure of of the past story about those flowers.After she felt that they looked a little better, she put them in a vase and carried them to her room.She placed them on her table and made sure she took a picture of them.And she did not forget to send the picture to Deagan.[Brother, I found the flowers. Will you come back now?]She w
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
