Demon Souls Warden Key

The Thread of Two Souls In the kingdom of Uttara, duty is law, and love is a luxury few can afford. Abhimanya, the crown prince, is used to navigating power, politics, and the heavy weight of expectation. But when an unexpected marriage binds him to Adithya—an enigmatic stranger with sharp wit and secrets of his own—Abhimanya’s world begins to unravel. Adithya’s quiet strength and unreadable gaze are more than they appear, pulling Abhimanya into a web of mysteries that stretch beyond the walls of the palace. As court politics turn treacherous and unseen enemies draw closer, Abhimanya finds himself torn between the kingdom he must protect and the growing connection he cannot deny. Two souls, tethered by fate, walk the thin line between trust and suspicion. In a world where nothing is as it seems, will their bond be their salvation... or their downfall? A slow-burning tale of love, intrigue, and secrets waiting to be unraveled—where every glance, every word, and every silence matters.

“I didn’t ask for this. I wasn’t born a knight, and I’ve never been anyone’s protector. But now, thanks to a stubborn princess who refuses to let me go, I’ve become her Warden. On the surface, my job sounds simple—keep her safe, stay by her side, and try not to lose my sanity. Her days are filled with royal routines and expectations, but mine? Mine are spent making sure she doesn’t fall into trouble—or drag me into it. But there’s something unsettling about her calm smiles and soft words. I don’t see the strings she’s pulling, but I feel them—subtle, deliberate, tightening around me day by day. She doesn’t just want my protection. She wants me. And while I focus on keeping her safe, I can’t help but wonder if I’m the one who needs protecting. I’m the Princess’s Warden. Her shield, her shadow, her keeper. And somehow, I get the feeling that I’ll never escape her.” (Also posted on Scribblebub with the same name)

"It was an ordinary world until the year 2067 when a boulder-sized asteroid was spotted by astronomers heading into the Earth’s atmosphere. "They determined its point of impact to be the Atlantic Ocean and, knowing there wouldn’t be any lives at stake, turned a blind eye to it. "Hence, it crashed without any interference, and without any civilian knowing of its existence. "Its momentum, not being retarded by friction due to its unknown properties allowed it to penetrate the ocean floor, making its way to the Earth’s core. "That’s when it all began; the properties of the meteorite caused it to fuse with the Earth’s core, changing the entire ecosystem of the Earth as we know it in ways that can't be imagined, throwing the Earth into an apocalypse. "It took five days for its fusion to complete, and those five days were known as the ‘beginning of the plague.’ "The Earth, which was filled with life, became a horror fantasy after these days; the Earth was left with only 40 percent of water. "The once flooded 30 percent now filled with unworldly creatures who feast on each other and the terrestrial ones. "it became a world of the survival of the fittest, where only that storage survived whether man or beast. "The skies and water became polluted with mystical essences which gave humans supernatural abilities that enhanced a person’s character to the fullest, and I, a once psycho, became the strongest. "Being annoyed by the ways of man, I decided to cleanse the world of the weak filth, not siding with the monsters either but becoming one who was hated by both. "I had one goal and one goal only, and that was to return the world to its original state, and the only way this feat could be achieved was to separate the meteorite from the earth's core even though they had completely fused. “This is the story of how I might have saved the world from this catastrophe or how I might have destroyed it.”

Rowan sees beauty in death. The Order he has sworn to obey only sees defilement. As the reviled Caretaker of the Order, Rowan has accepted his role as a dutiful outcast because he believes it is the only way to prove his worth to the man who holds his sisters’ souls as collateral. With his magic and his voice, Rowan can absorb death and transform it, but only in ways the Order deems acceptable to maintain the stability of the reality it claims to protect Order must subdue Disorder. Reality must triumph over illusion. He is tainted and always will be. Rowan has never questioned those lessons, but that changes the night he harvests a crimson soul that is more than human and chooses to keep it a secret. When Rowan’s song transforms that soul into a beautiful and mysterious man he names Wren, he is forced to accept that sometimes duty is a lie and illusion is the only thing you can trust. As the fabric of the Order begins to unwind and a new kind of Disorder takes hold, Rowan will need to choose again, stand with the Order that held him down, or forge a new path with Wren at his side. He may be the only one who can restore balance to the worlds, but only if he can find balance within himself first. ************************************* Updates 3-4 times per week. Note: This story focuses on relationships. I promise an epic romance, lots of swoon-worthy moments, and a healthy amount of fluff. When it does get steamy…you might get burned. Fair warning for explicit content. I don’t shy away from my spice. There are lots of side characters and couples to fall in love with, in addition to the main couple. If you love the idea of found family, you will be happy. This book is set in a non-heteronormative world, so you will see various gender identities/expressions and types of love. ************************************* Excerpt (if you want the full steamy version, you will have to read the book!): Still reeling from the new magic that coursed under his skin and unsure of how to react to the desire that threatened to take control of him, Rowan froze. Wren's hot breath against his mouth sent a jolt of pleasure through his body, and he choked back a groan. A different kind of panic flared in Rowan's chest, burning him as if he were the one on fire. This was what he wanted, what he'd thought about every night since Wren left. But wanting more was one thing. Acting on it was another. He'd spent so much of his life hiding, he didn't know how to do anything else. One corner of Wren's mouth twitched as Rowan pulled away. When he attempted to free himself from Wren's grasp, Wren just hauled him closer. Rowan liked that he didn't have to think about what to do next. His bare chest thudded against Wren's torso, and the heat from Wren's body merged with Rowan's skin, melting him from the inside out. "What did you just do to me?" Wren's deep voice vibrated against Rowan's chest. "The Disorder of your illusion was holding you captive. I…I absorbed it." "Oh? Where did you learn to do that? Have I been gone that long?" Wren's grip loosened slightly on Rowan's wrists as if he was satisfied now that Rowan was practically sitting on top him. Rowan stared at Wren's lips. He opened his mouth to protest, but immediately closed it again. "I know you aren't going to say that I shouldn't touch you." Wren's free hand splayed over the small of Rowan's back. "Not when you started it." Rowan's breath hitched. "No. I'm not going to say that anymore. Not to you." "I thought you were afraid to be touched." Wren's fingers traced a circle over the curve of Rowan's spine as if testing for a reaction. "I know that I'm not afraid of you." Rowan waited for the panic to set in, but all he felt was desire. "With you, I want…" "You want what?" "I want more." Triumph flared in Wren's gaze before he narrowed his eyes. "Really? Then why are you still trying to get away from me?"
