Loved By a Vampire King

The night was much quite outside filled with cold breeze that randomly passed through the room gently. Esme's voice sounded weak yet understandable as she kept staring at the cold stone face hovering over her body casually.

Hearing out her concerned tone, Aaron gave a complicated smile that was too unreadable to read or understand. Shaking his head blankly, he mumbled attempting to get up considering that she might be weak after having those herbs,

" No.. I'm all right.. Are you.. hmm.."

Much to his surprise, Esme pushed him down again forcefully as he remained frozen looking down on her worried leaped face blankly. He only felt like today they had changed the roles of pulling down.

Knitting her sharpened eyebrows together, she sated with assurance,

" You have high fever when you supposed to have cold temperature as a pure blooded vampire. Who are you trying to make fool? I don't understand, Aaron. You act weird sometimes."

Aaron heard her soft scolding and felt a warm feeling that was floating in his entire heart and soul. Perhaps he had never been cared like this before after loosing his brother. Thus a little care from her was enough to waver his heart that showed him a new journey of his life.

Aaron changed the topic as he asked softly caressing her brightening cheeks that had returned to her usual color,

" Why did you accept me as yours?"

Esme was a little taken before biting down her lower lips gently. She even forgot the issue that she had been marked by Aaron a while ago. But the process after their marking was blurr in her memory. She only felt that she was having dreams from her past life in previous years and saw little Ayra in her dream.

Lowering her gaze down, she answered truthfully,

" Shouldn't I do it as your wife? How can I refuse you when you were willing to make me as yours?"

Aaron smiled contentedly and replied pushing down her messy strands of hairs from her bare neck,

" Still I want to apologise to you that I should have asked you once before doing that. "

Esme blurted out knowing that this was the unbreakable truth deep inside her heart,

" I don't regret."

Aaron tilted up his head to meet her eyes as his expression turned complicated. Gulping down his bitter filled saliva, he mumbled in a low voice,

" What If someday you know that everything was a dream? I wasn't real or this moment between us wasn't real."

Esme smiled bitterly thinking for a while and finally answered meeting his pained eyes,

" If I wake up someday from this dream, then I would like to spend my awaking days cherishing our dreams, moments wholeheartedly. "

Aaron adjusted his forehead against her once again before whispering truthfully,

" Living in memories is more torturous than anything in this world, love. "

Esme smiled caressing through his shuffled hairs and whispered back,

" Then running away with this dreams would be the best option according to me."

Aaron's body stiffened at her sincere answer before suggesting her hugging tightly,

" Sleep! You need to take rest."

Esme couldn't feel ease after sensing the burning temperature on his body as she suggested back,

" Why don't you lay down beside me? You seem not well, Aaron."

Aaron hummed softly wanting to step down from her body but suddenly he fainted falling down on her shoulder as Esme gasped calling out alarmingly,

" Aaron.."

She struggled to get up and quickly put down his head on her lap cautiously. Caressing his forehead once again, her mind filled with worrisome as she helped him lying down beside her pillow. Taking up the fallen gown, she quickly put it on before heading outside to look for Jasper as she didn't know how to take care of his health.

Just when she opened the door wrapping a shawl around her figure, she spotted Jasper already standing over the doorstep with an anxious expression. Noticing Esme's silhouette, Jasper shifted aside and bowed,

" My Lady, is there anything that you need?"

Esme frowned finding him at this hour as she never personally witnessed Jasper in the castle before at this late night. Forgetting the suspension and questions, she stated hurriedly,

" Your Lord has high fever probably. I don't know vampires catch cold or not but he is burning like fire. What do I need to do?"

Jasper's expression sank after hearing out her words and tried to peek inside spotting his numb figure lying over the messy bed weakly. It must be the side effect after loosing half of his soul powers as Vampires don't catch cold or fever like normal humans.

Thus he sighed biting down his lips in remorse and comforted Esme,

" It happens sometimes when he uses more of his powers. There's nothing that we need to do now. He will be alright by tomorrow, Lady. Is there more anything that you need?"

Esme frowned still feeling worried about his health and shook her head slightly before replying back,

" All right then. Let him sleep till morning. You can go back your villa now Jasper. I will look after him. You need rest. "

Jasper was reluctant but still compromised at the end as he couldn't do anything staying there casually. Bowing his head one last time, he strode downstairs intending to go back to his villa.

After his departure, Esme glanced back into the room finding him laying down but didn't go back immediately. Instead she tiptoed downstairs after making sure that there wasn't anyone around at this hour and strode directly towards the last region of their gardening area.

Looking up at the brightening moon, she exhaled some restless signs before dropping down the shawl casually. Tiptoeing two steps ahead as her body glistening amidst the darkness lightly, she closed her eyes off murmuring something in a low mystical voice.

In no time, a pair of white large wings appeared behind her back as her closed eyes opened up in a shot presenting her two green eyeballs gleaming profusely.

She held her breath before looking up at the sky blankly. Containing a soft smile, her wings flittered once before climbing up in the sky above in a shot.

Within few seconds, her beautiful body had reached above a giant old tree that had been showered by the moonlight constantly.

Holding her head up proudly, she watched the moon blankly before whispering out softly,

" It's so good to be back!!!"

DALASTIA WORLD,

WHITE CASTLE,

After reaching here from Crimond Hill, Ethan didn't go back to his room instead he spent the entire time standing at the giant corridor adjusted to their floor of the castle. Sinking in deep thoughts, his ears only rung with the lines that had been said by Siemus before going back.

Athena was getting married? With whom?

He had cut off all relationships with her but still this feeling of giving to someone was killing him ruthlessly as he felt all his sleepiness had been faded away instantly.

Why can't he let go of her? Shouldn't he hate her to bones?

Smashing the vodka glass over the ground, he grunted annoyingly before caressing through his messy hairs roughly.

He should let go of that woman who had hurt him in every possible way. He was avenging her already after hiding Ayra from her, wasn't he?

Then why can't he give her up completely?

Just when he was feeling messy reminiscing in those thoughts, he felt a pair of soft hands hugging him from back. He jolted for a while before looking down on those pink painted nails on his chest affectionately.

Soon after he heard out a squirming tone seductively,

" Why are you so hyper today, Brother Ethan? Want a companion to share your rage? I'm here always for you. Why can't you see me?"

It was Katherine who was observing him from her room upstairs. After finding his tempted skin that appeared more handsome and seducing probably devouring so much liquors, she couldn't hold back her anxiety of approaching him anymore. Thus she shamelessly followed him here and waited for a rare moment until he fell under the intoxicated spell of vodka.

Yes, she was right. He was getting blurry visions already and his head was in mess after finding out so much shocked informations once in a while.

He grumbled struggling weakly to unclasp her arms,

" Katherine.. you... go.. away..".

Instead of letting him go, Katherine hugged him more tightly and buried her face into his back forcefully mumbling in a sobbing tone,

" I love you brother Ethan. Please why don't you love me once? I can be the woman however you like. I have no objections regarding whom you stay with or not. Just let me be with you and love you."

Ethan felt annoyed as he jerked her body off harshly and staggered back mumbling,

" No..! Katherine, I don't love you.. I don't.. "

Katherine looked up at him with her tearful eyes and asked boldly,

" You just don't know what do you want! "

Ethan frowned before mumbling in a confused tone,

" How will.. I.. know..!"

Katherine stepped another step towards him and asked in a seductive voice,

" Kiss me, brother Ethan and see how much you want me.. Just once.. kiss me.. "

Ethan grunted before looking up at her in a blurry vision. No one knew that it was the effect of alcohol or his willingness.

But Ethan suddenly charged forward before pressing her body against the wall hardly as Katherine let out a surprised gasp.

Ethan whispered leaning down to her face,

" A.. Athena.."
