Loved By a Vampire King

RECOMMENDED SONG: Quit By Ariana Grande, Cashmere Cat ~?

Vanessa didn't break her eye contact from Esme's sitting figure for a nanosecond untill every drop of the juice flowed down to her stomach. Esme revealed a sweet smile to Viviana as soon as she finished the drink and dropped down the glass on her empty tray. On the opposite side, Vanessa's gaze flashed with immense happiness as if she was struggling hard to keep her laugheter down. She was constantly clutching the hem of her clothes in excitement. Even the intention of insulting another bitch in this ball also faded away from her mind subconsciously. Her mouth was twitching in happiness that spreaded through her face quick fast.

In order to hold back her anxiousness, she quickly picked up another wine full glass and drank it off in a gulp. Letting out a small laughter, she turned around to inspect Esme from her spot and cheered inside her mind,

" Now it's just a matter of time to enjoy a brand now show."

Esme had no idea what danger was coming on her way as she only concentrated on Aaron who was walking over to the doorway reluctantly. Even though Aaron didn't say anything bad about those strange Vampires who had just stepped in, Esme could sense that Aaron wasn't very pleased about their arrival. Instead it exceeded his anxiety more.

Aaron swiftly walked over to the old Lord's side and glanced up at the poker faced man who seemed displeased regarding Aaron's late arrival to welcome them. Playing a soft smile on his lips, Aaron finally showed his respect for them gesturing through his hand to enter in,

" Please step inside,Mr.Rogers. We were expecting your arrival. Pardon my etiquette today. I was a bit busy with all the works."

Mr.Rogers seemed slightly convinced after hearing out Aaron's polite words and pondered for a moment. After giving it a second thought, he gave up and gestured to his other fellow members to follow him in before speaking briefly,

" No problem, Lord Aaron. A king should be responsible for everything that fall under his observation."

With this words, the man quickly walked inside following up another four members who all kept on holding a terrifying aura. Aaron sighed in relief before indicating Jasper to serve them all who instantly compiled in.

As the council had all settled down themselves over a lavishing couch set, the old lord relaxed before shooting Aaron a cold glare. Even he had seen through the unhappiness in Mr.Rogers eyes. He ogled on Aaron angrily once more before heading towards the council members slowly.

Aaron ignored his behavior and commanded others to start the ceremony fast as there was no one left to attend anymore. After that he swiftly walked back to his wife's side whose eyes had worry for him.

Aaron only returned her concern with a half smile and indicated her to eat fruits after plopping down beside her. As she started chewing the peeled apple, from time to time she felt that Mr.Rogers were looking on their way from opposite direction harshly. Esme felt a bit uneasy but didn't meet his eyes as she continued chewing.

Once again, the slow music started playing inside the room as the guests started getting comfortable around those bunch of dangerous men. No matter how comfortable they were, they couldn't ignore their strong aura which was spreading through the room eventually.

After the members had started devouring wine like others, Zave immediately slipped on their side to lick their boots. He exchanged few flattering words telling them repeatedly that how honoured he was to have them joining in their engagement party. Though the members insisted on holding stern, unfazed face, they were satisfied on Zave who was ready to lower himself down in front of them. Perhaps it had become their habit that one must bow their heads down in front of them. For sitting on the high society of vampires, they all were proud and sometimes wished that Aaron would bow his head to them whenever they met. Unfortunately their wish never came true as a king would be the one who would receive bows from everyone including them. But they never did only because Aaron was far more junior than them.

Very soon, Mrs Zave had sided with her son and ordered the priest to start chanting mantra. As they had different rituals before marriage, it was bound to be followed by them one by one.

On the contrary, Athena was stil struggling with herself inside terribly as she could feel the ache increasing in her heart. Even though she and Ethan had broken up officially, she didn't know why her heart was feeling a pain of betrayal.

What was happening exactly?

She couldn't understand and could only scratch her gown abruptly in worrisome. At that moment, Queen Mother finally reached downstairs holding two box of rings and walked beside Athena hastily.

She first unwrapped the pocket and pulled out two beautiful diamond rings that were glistering under the bright light of chandelier. After passing the rings to Athena and Zave, Queen Mother asked with a smile to the priest,

" Master, can they put on the rings on each others now ?"

The priest nodded approving silently as he was still busy in chanting. As soon as he gave approval, Athena shuddered and the pain inside her heart increased double than before. Her long eyelashes flattered abruptly as realization hit her brain.She murmured to herself lowly,

" Ethan!! "

Her lips quivered in anticipation when the thought of their mate bond flashed across her mind. Originally she thought that their bond would count null and void once she gets marked by Zave. But the situation had turned worse. Her bond with Ethan had turned so strong that it was defending her innerself from getting married with another guy. Even her subconscious mind was telling her that Ethan was having the same pain that she was feeling now.

Her hands started shaking as the ring nearly slipped out from her grasp. Her anixiety grew more when she remembered that Ethan must be heading for his warzone right away. A slow gasp of fear escaped through her lips as she assumed that this intolerable pain could make his strength weakening eventually. Nothing could be more fearsome in a warzone rather than loosing your inner power slowly.

As this all thoughts flashed across her mind, Athena's feet mispalled as she stumbling one step backward abruptly. Zave and others were stunned as he was going to put on the ring on her finger when the girl backed up unexpectedly.

Under their watchful gazes, Athena only muttured feeling her heart getting clenched in fist,

" I..I..I.. can't..."

On the other hand, Esme and Aaron were watching over them from their usual spot. Aaron who was shocked after looking through the change on Athena's expression failed to notice Esme's uneasiness beside him. He was too engrossed in watching Athena when Esme suddenly hauled up from her couch anxiously.

She breathed few times heavily and felt her body burning in fire as if all her powers had been awakened up suddenly. She gasped holding her throat unbelievably and panted desperately to calm down herself. Her blood cells were all boiling to unleash her powers that couldn't be controlled by her command anymore. She wanted to run away upstairs or hide herself from everyone but it was too late. At that particular moment, her fear was only to lose Aaron.

What if he decides to leave her after knowing everything?

No..No..She can't bear this..!

As the light started spreading out from her body, she only heard Viviana's shouting voice from her side,

" My lady..o..my.. god..Your body...."
