Loved By a Vampire King

OLD CASTLE,

By the time, Athena had regained her sense, she was lying down on her bed in a drowsy state. She vaguely sensed the maids movements who were messaging her palms and feet hastily. Their panicked and commotion reached in her eardrums as she opened her dropped eyes slightly.

The memory of few moments back flashed in front of her eyes as she hauled up her body hastily. The maid who was in charge of taking care her asked anxiously sitting at the edge of the bed,

" Princess.. Princess you are awake finally. Are you feeling unwell? Why did you faint all of sudden? Didn't you drink human blood for a long time?"

Athena shook her head slightly, leaning against the head of the bed, she responded in a low voice,

" I'm fine, Marida. I was just feeling dizzy back then.There's no need to worry about me."

Marida nodded but still the concern didn't fade away from her face thus she suggested,

" Let me give you some blood. You have been acting weird recently."

Athena didn't bother to protest as her mind was already filled with various thoughts and conclusions. As Marida and other maids left the room, she sank in deep thoughts.

Holding the old pain and agony inside her heart, she murmured mournfully,

" Why God? Why? Wasn't it enough to break my happiness one time? Why are you challenging my patience every time?"

She cursed herself several times and clutched the bedsheet tightly. Her heart beated vigorously as she sobbed hanging down her head without any tears.

After taking one last consoling breathe, she spoke to herself sternly,

" I can't let Ethan harm by my people. I can't..I owe you a lot Edward. I owe you a lot."

Getting up from the bed, she walked over the window and vowed inwardly reminiscing some pleasant memories with Edward, 

" I will save Ethan no matter what. Perhaps it will make you to hate me less, Edward."

She closed her eyes slowly and spit out parting her dry lips remorsefully, 

" I regret for falling in love with you, Edward. I regret it. Forgive me, forgive me. In this life, I can't repay you back a little only by saving Ethan. "

Her eyes flung open like volcano as she added with a firm determination, 

" I must find a way to save him tonight."

Her gaze darkened in rage.Looking up at the fresh sky, she summoned a name briefly, 

" Siemas! "

The sky burst in a loud thunder suddenly as her sharp eyes kept staring towards the way of the clouds. 

ON THE OTHER SIDE, 

Esme watched his dull face blankly and expected him to continue the conversation. Her curious mind wanted to look through every pain and scar that he was holding inside. As if soothing his pain was the most important task that she had found out now. 

But unexpectedly, Aaron didn't utter anymore word and kept looking at the way of the green mountains aside. Esme didn't feel content thus she approached near him slowly and cautiously. 

With a tone of soothing breeze, she asked expecting an explanation, 

" Then what happened to your biological mother? How.. how did she die?" 

Aaron's expression turned terrified suddenly that made her nervous instantly. She had already started to regret for asking too much.

Still maintaining the dark expression, Aaron responded blatantly,

" She was killed while saving my life."

Esme's face sank with a flash of sympathy. She struggled hard not to tear up her eyes and asked again this time more cautiously,

" I'm.. I'm sorry.. What about your father and brother then?"

Aaron laughed bitterly. His expression was unreadable as he replied in a tone of cursing himself silently, 

" My brother doted on me a lot. While saving me one in the forest, he was killed too when I was merely older than a child. Later my father started hating me for killing two precious people of his life and vowed to kill the murderer." 

He paused a bit as Esme saw his tongue gulping down his own saliva as if he was continuously fighting with his emotions inside. 

She wanted to stop him but he spoke out first one last line, 

" Then he was killed too after killing the murderer. I was left alone with Athena and mother." 

Esme couldn't believe her own ears. Subconsciously her eyes were already teared up with the mournful story that she had ever known. She stayed motionless in her state for a moments before heard his tone again. 

Aaron shifted his eyes over her face and asked with mockery, 

" What? Don't you find me I am inauspicious? I am the cause of everyone's death around me."

Esme gazed through his painful eyes slowly and denied his words shaking her head slightly. 

She never found him inauspicious! Even though their marriage was baseless and forceful, she never found out a single complaint over his care and loyalty so far. 

His expression turned out to be surprised as he asked again with disbelief, 

" You... you don't?" 

This time, Esme once again denied without any hesitance and closed the gap between them. She faced his hurtful eyes bravely and spoke from her heart, 

" I never find you auspicious, Aaron. Even.. even I'm proud to have you as my husband though we don't live like usual couple. You never mistreated me like other cheap kings and devoted our marital status. You respected me in front of everyone and supported me against everyone. You always stay.... "

Her words were interrupted with the touch of a cold finger over her lips as she stared ahead at the leaning face blankly. His low magnetic tone came out more like whisper, 

" Ssshh! Don't.. don't say anymore Esme.. or I might start living in the delusions that you love me." 

She wasn't sure about the existence love inside her heart but chose to respond truthfully for the first time,

" But I care for you.." 

Aaron kept staring at her pain flashed face blankly and asked somehow in a shaking tone, 

" Then.. if.. if oneday you get to know that you were living in a delusion of my love, affection towards you, will you still care... for me?" 

Esme didn't get the meaning of his words and randomly came up with a poetic answer. Smiling gently, she replied looking at his troubled expression, 

" Love and care both are shameless, Aaron. Once you start feeling it for someone, it will never stop no matter how much grudges you hold against him." 

His expression relaxed a bit at her answer. He genuinely smiled at the sincerity of her words and cupped her cheeks in his palms lovingly. 

Unexpectedly Esme didn't retaliate this time and continued staring back at him. 

Without their consciousness, the sky turned cloudy above in the sky welcoming a random wind from north pool. The dark clouds started gathering up in the giant sky indicating the upcoming rainfall vividly. 

The field of sunflowers danced cheerfully at the touch of the chilling breeze which was passing through the intertwined bodies. This time, Aaron took the step slowly as he leaned his lips onto her face watching her blushed expression with a hint of satisfaction across his mind. 

Her long lashed blinked abruptly at the anxiety of her heart as she saw the inche gap between them. Aaron felt satisfied in her obedience. Giving off a light smile, he pressed his lips against her moisty lips ignoring the drastic change of weather suddenly. 

His cold lips sucked the fresh skin and devoured the unique sweetness of it. Comparing to his previous kisses, this kiss was gentle and phenomenal containing a warm happiness flooding through his heart. 

He licked her lips smoothly like a petal whereas his one hand reached to push closer her waist. Their body came more closer as he enjoyed every moment of it. 

But his happiness was yet to come! 

After few moments, suddenly Esme started responding to his kiss. With a bit of nervousness, she also plunged her tongue with his rhythm and pressed her arm on his shoulder lightly. 

Aaron's eyes went wide as he saw her closing eyes ahead.His brain stopped working for a moment at the sudden rush of happiness. 

Thus he lost the last bit of restrictions in his head and responded back aggressively.He held her close tightly and started pounding his tongue skillfully. 

Esme felt loss at his sudden roughness and tried to accept it slowly. He chewed her bottom lips harshly as she felt slight pain letting out a low grunt. 

Aaron became alerted instantly and licked the minty blood from her lips greedily. Esme felt angry and thought of taking revenge of his aggressive act. 

Thus she bit his upper lips boldly like a chicken piece as Aaron hold the laughter in his stomach. 

His little wife can be so haughty! 

Much to her surprise, his lips started bleeding suddenly as her heart sank in pain for using so much strength. She wanted to break their everlasting kiss but the man wasn't satisfied. 

He forced her to drink his blood thus continued charging. She grunted but it was no vein. The rough taste of his blood entered in her mouth and slowly slided down into her tongue reluctantly. 

Having no option of puking it out, she had to gulp down the little amount of blood forcefully. 

Shortly after between their kisses, Esme suddenly started feeling hot like boiled water in her body as if all her blood cells were rushing back and forth. 

At first, she thought that it was because of her feminine hormones as they were still kissing madly. 

But it started feeling different after few moments... 

This feeling was different more like power.. 

What was going on???
