Sanguan Vitae: Hunter (India)
(In honor of Irrfan Khan)
Jayadeep doesn’t know anything about his birth father, and has vague memories of his mother who was always sad. And as far as Jayadeep is concerned his father is Arbaaz Mir, the man who saved him from a life of slavery.
Arbaaz raised him since he was eight years old, making sure he had an education and a future. He knew from a young age, that his ‘father’ was a Vampire, and had been introduced to Alexander The Great and his Mate. He would sit at their feet and listen to many of their stories, learning history from the men who forged it.
It wasn’t until he was a teenager he understood the physical training Arbaaz had put him through. He was introduced to Dastan, and told about the Assassins.
He knew then this is what he was destined to be.
When he was in his mid-twenties he was introduced to Ashoka. The two had looked at each other and laughed. Ashoka, had claimed him as family, though knew Jayadeep’s loyalty was to his father.
Azbaar understood how hatred could fester in oneself if one don’t look beyond the pain and hurt. Jayadeep wanted the English to pay for what they did to his people, so to teach him a lesson he was sent to London to train with the Frye siblings.
He stared at the two of them in shock. Jake had slapped him on the shoulder, welcoming him to the Rooks, while Evie had rolled her eyes and dared him to keep up.
In the ten years he spent with them, he learned more about life than he thought he would have.
It was during the fourth year of being in England a mission went to hell, and he had been mortally wounded.
Evie didn’t hesitate.
