Loved By a Vampire King

Esme stood still for a while before falling into a dilemma. She vaguely heard Ron's words that were enough to cut her heart into tiny pieces. Ron was in rush when he started dragging Esme out of the room. Thus he didn't spot the unwillingness vividly leaped on her expression.

Suddenly Esme paused a bit before stopping Ron abruptly. Ron looked back at her face confusedly and asked impatiently,

" What's wrong? Why did you stop? Did you leave something?"

Esme seemed puzzled before opening up her tightened lips slightly. Her heart was in mess and subconsciously her feet weren't cooperating her in stepping ahead. Just the moment, she decided to discuss again with Ron about this sudden decision, a hasty voice of Viviana had started coming down from the outdoor.

Esme's face turned stiff as she urged Ron to hide in a corner. Pulling open the door, she found Viviana's horrific face that had turned black more than rainy clouds.

Esme quickly moved ahead asking anxiously,

" What's wrong?"

Viviana answered gasping heavily,

" My Lady.. Lord.. Lord has been attacked on the way of South and he is missing now. We are tracking his location but still can't find him."

Esme's face sank into the depth of the ocean as she kept staring at Viviana astounded. Imagining any danger occurred on Aaron, she felt suffocated and extreme pain that couldn't be explained in words.

She didn't think twice before requesting Viviana impulsively,

" Where did he go? Did you appoint more guards? I want to go with you too."

Viviana seemed hesitance at her requirement. That jungle is very dense and pitch dark that one could hide into it forever. From her knowledge, the guards found Aaron's riding horse on the midway of the Dark Forest that leaded the entrance of western kingdom.

Looking up at Esme's perturbed expression, Viviana nodded her head in compromising. Seeing her affirmative answer, Esme gave a sigh of relief before ordering her,

" Viviana, can you wait for me downstairs? I'm coming down in a minute."

Viviana answered affirmatively before striding downstairs whereas Esme locked the door quickly. She turned around and saw Ron's darkened expression.

Giving her no chance to explain, Ron strode towards her and shouted anxiously,

" Have you gone insane, Serena? For god sake, this is the best opportunity that we can ever have. Why are you bothering to find Aaron? Of course, the guards will find him out sooner or later. But did you think about yourself? Did you think that we miss this chance, will we be able to get out from here ever? "

Esme didn't heed his words anymore and exclaimed appearing dreadful,

" Ron please. Its not right time to discuss of leaving this castle. I need to look for Aaron fast. Moreover did you know that ENCHANTRESS had been suspecting to be alive. What if she attacked Aaron?"

Ron captured her shoulders hardly and reminded her consciousness angrily,

" Come out of your damn sense, Serena. This time, you should think about your daughter the most. Do you know what? She can't control her powers anymore and seems to be getting distressed after not having you by your side. What if we can't get the chance again? "

Esme's body turned stiff at the mention of Ayra. She knew that Ayra needed her but Aaron needed her too now. She can't possibly leave the man here in danger who had been treating her more like a princess. At least her mind wasn't willing to do that.

Sighing heavily, she looked through Ron's disappointed gaze and replied tidying her clothes,

" I understand everything Ron. But Ayra has Anna, Brother Ethan by her side now. I know that they will try their best to help her controlling her powers. But.. now.. I really should look for Aaron once. I won't leave until I see him safe and sound."

Ron's heart throbbed in pain as he slowly loosened the grip on her shoulders. His expression turned hurt as if he had figured out an undeniable truth.

To console his aching heart, he forcefully wanted to remind her Ayra's existence once more. Thus he spoke coldly staring at her busy figure,

" Ayra is your daughter, Serena. Don't forget that."

Esme already had turned to head outside but hearing his voice, she paused in her track and glanced back blankly. She answered briefly without looking through her emotions,

" Aaron is my husband, Ron. You shouldn't forget that too. "

After giving him a death silence reply, her tensed figure quickly retreated from there leaving Ron in an aching heart.

SASHA PALACE,

The air in the kingdom had turned stiff and cold as if everyone was in extreme fear and tried best to hide their existences in this world.Sasha Palace was the most secured place under the authority of Royal Members. Situated in a remote area of kingdom, it was surrounded with various magical herbs that could protect the living people inside the castle. If any intruder tries to enter the Palace, he or she will bound to have attacked by poisonous ribs that could kill or injure them undoubtedly.

But it had an eye catching interior along with a natural beauty environment alongside. The crystal river had passed by the right side of the Palace emitting a peaceful aura. The castle seemed not that old comparing to the old castle and had brown marble wall in outside walls. Without having any symbol of lavishing architect, it still gave off a decent living environment.

Inside the castle, Athena had already shifted in her new room that had a tiny corridor and two giant windows. She still contemplated in her thoughts that she shouldn't have left Aaron in the capital alone.

After having a warm shower, she tiptoed in her room wrapped in a thick white towel that reached barely till her thighs. Another towel was wrapped into a bun upon her head to absorb the waterdrops from her silky hairs.

Reaching in front of the full view mirror, she gazed to her own reflection blankly. The yellow light of candle illuminated her soaked figure vividly inside the glass mirror and fell each corners of the middle spacious room.

A gust of wind blew through the tiny candle as it trembled vigorously. Athena quickly stretched out her palms to shield the lightning. In her daze state, her eyes fell into the mirror following towards a shadow that had been moving behind the curtains of the corridor.

She gasped in astonishment and quickly turned back. Clutching the knot of her towel hardly, she asked in a nervous tone,

" Who is there? Come out? Who is it?"

She heard no response as the sudden fear started increasing through her mind. Taking two slow steps ahead hesitantly, she called out again gazing deeply on the shadow,

" I said, come out or else I will shout and call the guards. "

Once again the shadow didn't move a bit and stayed motionless in his usual spot. Athena's face turned dull and enlarged as she continued walking towards the shadow with a thumping heart.

Just an inche away before pulling off the curtains, she glanced back at her door deeply. If something happens, she could call out the maids or the guards faster.

Sighing restlessly, she pulled off the curtains but before it could fall down, the shadow finally moved and charged forward without warning.The towel over her head had fallen down carelessly on the floor revealing her silky hairs that had a smell of jasmine liquid. 

Athena gasped loudly in fear as her back had sensed the hard wall behind her. Her lips were blocked by a cold palms as she heard her favourite voice,

" Sssh! Don't shout. It's me, Ethan."

Athena's eyes went wide as she gazed through his hazel eyes astounded. Much to her surprise, the man had no expression of fear or anxiety. His eyes were glowing in excitement as if he had just won a trophy.

Her mouth were still blocked thus she couldn't utter any words. His excited voice wavered the deepest core of her heart as she heard him saying,

" I see you finally."

Athena whimpered gesturing him to take off his pressed palms. Ethan quickly took it off and gazed at her perturbed face deeply. His tongue dried as soon as his gaze fell on her sexy collarbone that had been washed off just a while ago. 

Athena was so astounded that even forgot to initiate any conversation. Her heart tightened into a grip before barely able to ask a question,

" How.. how did you get in here? Wait.. who carried you inside our world? Ethan.. you are.. really.."

Ethan smirked cunningly leaning to her face and replied arrogantly,

" Siemus. I had ordered her to take me in."

Athena's face flushed at his closeness and turned her aside. She frowned hard and asked curiously, 

" Impossible. Raibon Vampires aren't ruled by anyone until they want initially. How did you manage her to obey you? "

Ethan gazed deeply at her perturbed face and wanted to laugh sensing her thumping heartbeats. He whispered in her ears seductively,

" With my charm. "

Athena ".... "
