You Mean I've Been Raising?

"Dante!!!!" Deena yelled this time around. I subconsciously stopped moving as my heart skipped a beat. It was the first time I had heard the words from her lips.

No Dante! Just move!! You have to keep going!!. You don't have to stop.'. I kept reminding myself to not remain here anymore but my legs won't move.

Noticing I had stopped moving, Deena stood up and rushed towards me while tossing away the envelope she held in hand. She ran as fast as she could before she inadvertently stumbled upon a rock on the ground just a few meters towards where I was which allowed her to land directly on my back.

Due to the weakest her legs felt, she knelt down as she hugged my waist tightly before declaring.

"Please!! Don't leave me. I'm sorry. You're right, I haven't been completely honest with you. I've been a liar!! Ive been selfish!! I've been selfish!! I've lied to you and I'm sorry. Please you don't have to forgive me. Just let me stay by your side, that's all I asked."

She yelled with her beautiful silver colored hair already drenched in water and the kneel part of her beautiful white dress already muddy by the incessant rainfall and muddy water.

What do you mean by selfish? " I asked as I tried to calm myself down.

"I'm sorry!! I've lied to you. I didn't want you to be with anyone else. I knew what I did was wrong but I told myself as long as I was by your side, I'll be happy but I couldn't do it. I couldn't tell you to find another partner.". Deena wrapped her arms around my waist tightly as she voiced out.

What Deena is trying to say is that, raising an ordinary demon baby and a royal demon baby are of two different procedures. Demon babies born of royalty needs to be raised by two parents lest the royal demon babies grow in a way similar to how a common demon baby grows.

In the case of an ordinary demon baby, the babies in this category grow up to become incest lovers with their biological parents or parent. I've heard several times of demon fathers sleeping with their sons. Homosexual relationships between ordinary demon parent and child wasn't anything new across the five realms.

I wonder how a father would gain pleasure in copulating with his own son. If the child were to be a female I'd understand but a male child? Come on!! On second thought, I do not want to think about it.

As for the royal demon babies. As long as the first person they imprint with has a spouse, the babies won't be attracted to their imprinted parent. What I mean is this, when a demon child is in the imprinting stage, as long as the first person they imprint with doesn't get married before their first blue moon experience then the babies would have no choice but to mark their imprinted target as their partner.

But if their imprinted target already have a spouse they had marked their royal insignia with then the babies would have no choice but to let go of their still budding feelings. In other words, it means two feelings manifest within the demon babies whenever they laid eyes upon their imprinted target.

The feeling of copulation and the feeling of respect. Demon babies born into royalty grow up to have nothing but respect towards their parents since both parents were already married. So the feeling of copulation will be locked deep within the babies hearts until a suitable partner was to be found . The same thing would have happened in my case if I had been married to someone before raising all three girls.

(The process involved in an adult royal demon in finding his/her mate will be discussed in the future.)

Since I wasn't informed of this beforehand then the babies imprinted with me with the feelings of both copulation and respect already planted within them.

Deena didn't say anything because she knew that I would have to get married fast with someone else before the babies had their first full moon experiences. Hence why she said she was selfish, she didn't know if I already had someone else in mind I would have loved to be with.

She had thought of informing me but she couldn't risk and accept the feeling of having someone else being with me.

she clearly didn't know that she was the only woman I had in mind all this while. As I was pondering about this, a sudden realization stormed into my mind after hearing what Deena said.

"Wait so you mean?"

"Yes!! You have been raising your future mates till this very moment," Deena replied to me as she strangled my waist around her arms with tears rolling down her face.

"I'm sorry. I wanted to be with you. From the first day I saw you, I was really glad the heavens blessed me with such an amazing master. I was even glad to know you were single. Forgive me!! For I didn't want you to bring someone else into your heart." Deena continued.

"I knew allowing you to raise the girls alone would backfire on me in the future but I was ready to pay the price for my sins. I was prepared to receive whatever punishment you had in store for me but as long as I do not have to leave your side, I told myself I would endure it all just to be with you.

"So you mean the girls were raised to become my mate?" I subconsciously inquired once again.

"Yes!! I'm sorry!! Although for you to be permanently chosen as their mate, the girls must have marked you with their royal family insignia during the night of their first blue moon."

"I don't get it. We both raised the girls together, why didn't they think you were already my spouse?"

"That's because they had a special bond with you that enabled them to know what was in your mind. The bond was minute at the moment and it still is due to how young all three girls are. I'm sure you feel it too but you never really put your mind into it. With the special bond all three girls shared with you, they knew we weren't in any kind of relationship and so to them I was nothing more than a substitute,"

"With me being nothing but a substitute, I and anyone else who tries to mate with you will eventually have to be disposed off by the girls to take their rightful place as your wives."

Hearing this. I think this explains why the girls wanted to kill Alice back then in the hotel. They thought we would eventually have the desire to mate with each other but the closeness I felt with Alice was nothing more than friendship. Did all three girls thought I felt lust towards her?

Wait a minute? Then why haven't they tried to harm you?" I asked because if the girls could truly read my mind then Deena should have been targeted by now. There has to be an understandable reason for that or else it just means all three girls can't tolerate any other kind of woman by my side.

"There are two reasons for that. One of them is due to the fact that they respect you too much and so they're unwilling to offend you by killing me now."

"What's the second reason?"

"That's because they are yet to be strong enough to prevent you from stopping them if they decide to. Although this point may be useless once the girls experiences their first blood moon,"

Woah!! Woah!! Too many information are swarming round my head right now. I stopped Deena from saying anymore. It's a little bit difficult hearing her properly from where she was coupled with the rain we were currently under.
