Luna Rising

SIXTY SEVEN

I follow Dad into his room.

He waves his hand and immediately shuts the door and locks it.

I can feel the tension in the air as I'm thinking about hearing Saye about Dominic and me having sex right in front of my Dad.

He didn't raise me, and I didn't grow up with him, but I'm an adult. I decided to do well in my relationship with Dominic. Even if he knew that his future son-in-law killed me in my past life. Still, I wanted to continue being with him. After all, Dominic was under a spell. I don't blame him for being naive when he was a child and didn't know his birthday gift was cursed.

Dad and I just found each other, and having that father-daughter bond is still new to me. I have act natural and accepted him as my father, learning the truth.

Is Dad mad I had sex before I married?

I'm waiting for Dad to say something, but I can only wait.

I took a moment and realized the room design. It's like I stepped into a modern Victorian chamber. A room the size of a house, fancy expensive furniture, a fireplace, and a king-size canopy bed.

I have never been inside my Dad's room, but it's cozy here, especially inside a mountain.

I wanted to ask how, but I already knew the answer.

"Dad?" I clear my throat, not wanting to make things awkward. "So, about Dominic and I. I wanted it to happen. Please don't blame him. I wanted to be with him forever. I'm a grown adult who made a grown-up decision then you-"

"I'm not mad, my child," he turns to face me. "Upset, yes. But not mad."

"Then why the privacy? Away from everyone." I crossed my arms. "I thought I would get a good scolding from you because you're my Dad."

"I grew up in a traditional family," he stated. "Marriage before intimacy."

"You know, here in this world and era, people tend to have kids even when they aren't in matrimony. Some mothers are in their teens." I stated the fact.

"Yes, I know. This world is quite different than the Demon Realm."

"Okay, so..."

"I understand you and Dominic are meant to be. Your mother had you before we secretly wed, so I understand the rush."

"You did?"

Dad nods his head. "Yes, I tried to wait, but knowing how much I wanted your mother. One night under the stars, surrounded by Maple's favorite flowers," I can sense his love for Mom. "Then, a week later, she found out she was pregnant, and I married her immediately."

"Wow, Dad, your such a dog," I smirk and nudge his side, teasing him.

I shouldn't be praising him, but I never knew Dad was such a romantic.

He flushed and cleared his throat, not wanting to discuss his sex life with Mom. "Anyways, do you have to announce it?"

"I didn't. Saye did," I protested. "The twins have the nose of a dog. So glad Jippies wasn't around," I snort, then think about Jippies. "Where is he anyways?"

"I sent him on a task." He sighs. "So, when is the ceremony?"

"Dominic and I decided once everything is settled down beside. I have other things I need to attend to."

Dad lifts a brow. "Which is?"

"Dominic's grandfather had asked me to teach his people fighting against ferals."

Dad went over and stood before the fireplace. "Homuhakun."

"Huh?"

"It's our language that means death eaters," Dad explains. "Given life from the Black Tree, they are mindless creatures. You become a monster thirsty for flesh once inhaled of the miasma, dead or alive. I heard of these creatures many years ago with the first Demon King. He had wiped out an army of homuhakun with his fox fire."
