Loved By a Vampire King

RECOMMENDED SONG: Love The Way You Lie By Rihanna, Eminem ~?

The moment Viviana gasped loudly almost screamed in fear or astonishment that you could say, the entire hallway had turned into a deadly hallow as a long silence dropped in. This weeping silence was only distracted when Athena's engagement ring fell down over the floor causing a thud sound to bring everyone back to reality. Even she couldn't believe her own eyes for a long long time. It was beautiful, magnificent and horrified at the same time.

On the contrary, Esme's mind was in bizarre state as soon as her whole body transformed into her fairy form without her command. She was horrified more than surprised when she looked down herself in disbelief. Her earlier gown had changed into a complete white one and her remarkable white wings also shot up opened from her back. The sight was undoubtedly breathtaking but unfortunately they were in wrong place and wrong timing.

Aaron's entire body had thrown into a dead pool as soon as her white powers came in his realization. He didn't even turn around to see him as he could already predict what had happened behind his back. He stood frozen robotically and watched numerous eyes ogling at Esme in his back. He clenched his fists together and finally managed to turn his face back.

Their eyes met slowly but there was no emotions left at them anymore. Esme's heart stopped beating long ago as she stared deep through his blank eyes deeply. Her breathing hitched whilst the tear in her eyes already made their way to fall down but fought tremendously just the way she was doing with her own self now. In this weeping silence, Aaron could only heard the girl's choking voice lowly,

" I am sorry...! "

Esme spitted out and stumbled one step back from Aaron who was oddly inspecting her fairy form. He never imagined that she could be so sinfully beautiful in her own form and couldn't pull away his eyes from her for a while. As he looked up at her deadly pale face, he could only see fear in her eyes but surprisingly it was not the fear of getting punished. The only fear of loosing himself clearly flashed across her drawn eyes.

He pursued his lips together but nothing came out as whispers started spreading out from their surrounding.

The most shocked person was Vanessa at that moment. She didn't expect Zave to set up this mastermind plan. She was asked to mix the magical medicine by Zave thus she assumed that Esme would get hurt after having this medicine. Surprisingly it was far more good and excited than she imagined. Her happiness flooding eyes quickly met Zave's sinful eyes who had a smug smile playing in his lips. The whole atmosphere was deadly stiff as if no one dared to talk loudly.

Same like other people,the council members all had stood up from their respective spots disbelievingly as their eyes went wide in anger. They couldn't believe their own eyes that a fairy had taken the spot of Vampire Queen. They burned in fury and wanted to interfere but Old Lord quickly made his way towards Aaron before the enraged council could take the charge personally.

He flew over Aaron and roared while getting closer to Esme,

" Aaron...!! What the hell have you done? Guards! Jasper!! Arrest this woman right away! "

Aaron was finally snapped out from his thoughts when the old man's thunderous growl bounced against the high wall of this room. His expression immediately darkened as he threw himself in front of Esme as a shield. Without caring for anyone, his murderous eyes watched the old lord coming on their way deeply. Gritting his teeth together in rage, Aaron warned dangerously,

" Don't you dream of taking her away! "

The old lord's tracks halted midway as he watched Aaron disbelievingly.

Will he still try to protect this shrewd in front of so many civilians and the Council?

Behind him, Esme was more stunned when she saw Aaron's protective demeanor without accusing her for lying. She bit down her lips hard when she carefully noticed his expression. He didn't seem so astounded like others instead his eyes silently consoled her to stay calm without any fear. She flattered her heavy eyelids when anticipation started hitting her blank brain.

Barely breathing, Esme whispered disbelievingly from his back,

" Did..did.. you... know...from the beginning?"

Aaron's body stiffened as he felt her deep questioning eyes on him.

Why did everything turn out like this? How will I protect you from this monsters now?

_DALASTIA WORLD_

The atmosphere inside the courtyard of White Castle was exceptionally stiff as all waited impatiently to see the final result.

After the high fairy had announced that they would fight against the dragon king and his pets inside the JimJim mountain which was located inside the sea,the civilians clapped loudly to cheer up the heirs. But a certain someone was distracted from everything.

Ethan whose eyes were stuck over the ground gloomily didn't bother to look once their mission was announced. His heart still ached in pain when everything started to get clearing up inside his head. On his way to courtyard, he nearly collapsed into the floor as the pain on their mate bond turned intolerable and pathetically painful. He tried to his best to endure the pain for the sake of Athena's happiness but nothing worked on.

But all of sudden, when he thought that he would loose conscious before this final war, the pain suddenly vanished away as if it was never been there before. The only reason could be either Athena broke off their mate bond after getting marked by her fiance or else she called off the engagement. But in his mind, the first possibility lingered painfully as his heart pounded abruptly.

Did..did she really break off their bond?

For some unknown reason, his mind couldn't accept this outcome but he knew that he was the main reason behind this severe consequences.

He bit down his lips tightly and tried his best to focus on their upcoming war.

_MARRIOT CASTLE_

In front of the castle door, two dragons were snarling instinctively as their back had been caressed by a certain man.

Oscar had a stern face as he prepared his dragons to join this war with him. As he inteneded to fly away together with them, the butler suddenly ran towards him anxiously. His expression was anxious as he informed Oscar after bowing down his head slightly,

" Your Majesty, I..I..I think that Lady Jasmine is in labour. Please pay a visit to her before you leave."

Oscar paused midway before shooting his butler a surprised glare.

That monster... choose to come in this world today? Why?
