Love Agreement With The King

He bent on the body and punched him strongly, his head hit against the ground and bounced, from his nose came out blood.

John stood up, glowering at each one of the creatures who looked at him, he groaned, "I heard some of you want to harm my wife, Roselyn. I just want to warn you that if you dare to touch her I will beat you to death and then will do the same to your family, if you don't have a family then to your closest ones. Don't dare to challenge me." He darted his gaze and stopped to gawk at each one of them, his gaze was challenging and furious.

John heard a groan and when he turned around the guy on the floor was coughing as he wiped away the blood on his face.

"Have you heard me?" John raised his voice, "don't even dare to mention my wife's name again or I will make you regret it."

John gazed at them all one last time, then he speeded away.

He changed his destination and went to Jake's place instead.

He knocked at the door of the garage he stayed at.

Then John entered when he heard Jake's voice telling him to walk in.

"Hi," John said.

Jake nodded at him, then he sat down at the chair.

"I know we made a deal a while ago that if any of us would ever form a family then he was immediately kicked from our special family. I had respected that decision and I still do I just want to ask you a favor."

Jake heard what John had to say silently, he took a few seconds to think, and then he nodded, "go on."

John smiled, "I heard some people in Kratez want to harm my wife, please if one day there will be a fight. I need your and the guys' help."

Jake knitted his eyebrows, he didn't seem to know of that new, "why do they want to harm her? Because she is a banshee?"

"Yes, and… because we had two twins."

Silence fell in, Jake looked at him sadly and then he breathed out. "Alright."

John stretched his hand and Jake shook it.

Their deal was sanctioned when they met decades of years ago, the only family they had was each other and for Jake, the situation was still the same. The only people he cared about were his friends.

Jake shook John's hand, he cared about him too much to refuse to help him in such an important thing.

But seeing him change his purposes and hobbies, deeply hurt him. It was like since John fixed his relationship with Victor and had met his father he completely forgot them. He didn't visit them nor did he involve them in important life decisions and although Jake didn't tell him how much that hurt him, John knew he was deep down disappointed.

"Thank you," John said, "you still are like a brother for me."

Jake returned the smile but he didn't reply, he probably thought that real brothers don't forget about each other like that. But he kept his thoughts to himself.

John hoped Jake would ask him to stay, when he realized he probably wasn't going to John turned around and walked away slowly.

He speeded away and got back to Kratez, Roselyn and the kids were already coming back from their walkout so when John came back they welcomed him with a tight hug.

"Rose, baby, can we talk?" John whispered, she frowned and they both walked into their room.

It was never a good thing when John asked Rose to talk privately, so Roselyn immediately got concerned and her heart skipped in her breast

"I heard people in Kratez are getting worried about your nature so maybe the vision you had isn't fake. We should get out less and be more careful..." John said.

Roselyn's heart speeded, her thoughts were for her daughter, if they found out she was a banshee as well they may hurt her.

She knew how supernatural creatures could be evil and she was sure they would harm her without qualms.

"Oh my… What about Felicity?" Roselyn closed her mouth with her hand and her eyes widened scared.

"We will protect her. I went there earlier and threatened them not to touch you. I am sure I made a point." John said to reassure Roselyn.

Little did he know that from the right side of Kratez, creatures got deeply offended by John's attack. His gesture also proved to them that Roselyn was getting stronger because if she wasn't he wouldn't be so worried about her health.

They all gathered together and planned the date of their attack, they wanted to free Kratez from the strict rules and an unworthy ruler.

John got weak and he put the family at first place forgetting that his real devotion shall have been to the inhabitants of Kratez.

"The more we are the fewer chances he has to beat us." The guy John hit screamed and a huge crowd of creatures cheered and shouted "let's take him down!"

The news of rebelling spread fast so fast that in a few days Kratez was divided into two factions. One faction siding with John, make of people who knew him and trusted him, who saw in him a good leader. The other faction was made of Creatures who wanted a land without leaders, and who wanted to send humans away and create a land reserved for supernatural creatures only.

When Victor heard the rumors he immediately went to talk to John and told him what was happening in Kratez. John predicted that he knew that attacking one of them without any good reason would create chaos and would separate creatures into two factions.

Creatures were easy and foreseeable just like beasts.

With his gesture, he may have created turmoil but at least he had also earned people who would side with him when the doomsday would come.
