Loved By a Vampire King

The ride was full of silence as if no one existed inside the carriage except a thin layer of pressurized air. Ayra seated far away from him and watched the passing scnario through the peepholes of the carriage. Though she didn't look at his devilish face, she could feel his burning eyes on her as if he was trying to read her mind.

Her mind was full of heavy emotions. Never expected that she would end up in a Royal Marriage which she always found burdensome. Fight for throne was far more venomous than one can ever imagine. Bringing up inside a Royal Family, she understood this tricks so well that she decided to marry an ordinary man. But who knew that fate had other plans for herself.

A frustrated sigh escaped through her lips. Eyes still keeping on those passing trees, she understood that no matter what is our purpose in life, fate will always have it's own plans.

Cedric never broke his eye contact with her and rather enjoyed her irritated face that probably caused because of his intense looking. After a while, when he absolutely didn't falter his eyes for a single moment, Ayra became restless.

Turning her face around to see the man who was smiling like an idiot, she growled fisting her clothes in her palms,

" What are you looking at? Haven't you seen any woman before?"

His smile deepened further when she finally looked at him with her pair of dark eyes. He reasoned innocently finding it not any crime,

" I am looking at what's mine rightfully. Have I done anything wrong.. princess?"

Ayra kept staring at him with her unfathomable eyes and grinded her teeth harder. This man was so skilled in trampling words that she wondered how many women he dated before. Unfortunately dating wasn't a choice for Cedric. His attention was always on physical desire and quiest to keep himself calm.

The word 'Princess' resounded so sensual from his tongue that Ayra's face flustered unknowingly. Before she was preparing to rebuke with some bitter words, a despicable thought came across her mind.

Seeing her smiling at him mysteriously, Cedric was somehow a little taken back and deepened his gaze at her expression to know her inner thoughts.

In a blink of eye, something started to blaze from Ayra's eyes. An unknown heat extinguished from the depth of her eyes and at the same time, her eyes changed color appearing out her own pair of two magical eyes. Having stared by her heated eyes, Cedric only felt a fire diving inside his own vision and prickled fire around. He couldn't help but hissing out in pain and reluctantly pulled his eyes away from her.

Just when he arched his head aside, Ayra's tone filled with mockery buzzed across the carriage,

" Tsk.. What happened, husband? Tired already?"

Cedric twitched his lips while enduring the slight pain that he received from her heat. He couldn't believe that this girl had dared to showcase her supernatural powers in front of him. She had no idea that what he could do to her. If he raised a single finger against the whole BRIGHTMOON WORLD, the other three kingdoms had to bow down in front of him without uttering a single word.

He switched his head aside to face her again and saw a mischievous smirk playing on her lips. His little wife enjoyed playing hard with him. His lips curled up into a devilish smirk as he stated quite sarcastically,

" Is that an open challenge for me?"

He spoke and was already leaning towards her dangerously. Ayra suddenly pressed her palm on his heart to stop his dangerous approach and replied while stroking her finger playfully,

" I don't dare! I just want to remind you that don't ever try to act smart with a hybrid."

Cedric felt himself burning just by her mere touch and sinfully wished that she would just sit on his lap rather than playing stupid games with him. Cedric grinned further without stopping her unruly hand and blurted out shamelessly,

" How about we play on bed?"

Ayra stopped her finger from stroking and lifted her eyes up to see his desire filled eyes. Suddenly the atmosphere turned ambiguous. With her hand on his heart at this proximity, she didn't want to continue the topic anymore.

Taking back her palm nervously, she muttured coldly,

" Can you use more decent words? I am not so used to it."

Ayra's shy words brought a hilarious laughter from Cedric. Pausing between his laughter, he suggested eyeing on her shy face deeply,

" Then get used it. It's my right legally to flirt with my own wife."

Ayra postponed the idea of arguing with this demon king. She sighed miserably on her own ill-fate and backed away nervously. The way he was staring at her as if he was obsessed with her face. 

Cedric let go of her for the time being. Now she was all his and they had plenty of time to know each others. By the time, their carriage arrived at the border of Basarisk, it was midnight. Unlike other unruly days, the sky was pretty much clear without any sign of rainfall.

From the main border, they would be carried out by a different carriage. When Ayra was asked to step out, she was horrified to find out that their carriage would be driven by wolves not horses. It was something weird that she never knew before.

Cedric watched her horrified expression and chuckled lightly. Standing beside her, he explained arrogantly,

" Don't feel so intimidated, princess. These are our slaves. They won't punch on you."

Ayra was jerked out from her bewildered state and glanced at Cedric meaningfully. With her lips slightly curling up, she answered before entering into their new carriage,

" With such big bad wolf accompanying me, did you really thought that I was intimidated by them? I would rather feel safe with them more than you."

Cedric "..."

Before he could catch the fiesty woman, she was gone behind the curtains of carriage. Cedric looked around embarrassingly and saw that the guards were looking at him strangely. Sure enough, this girl didn't hesitate to insult him in front of his own subordinates.

Their new carriage was parked around ten minutes later in front of Dixon Palace. Cedric was the one to step out first since it was their tradition to carry the new wife inside in his bare arms. 

Descending down, he was astounded to see some people standing nearby. He frowned hard and shot the nervous butler standing away from him. Cedric barked without showing any sign of respect,

" Butler, have you sent invitations to the wrong people?"

The people who expected his meeting deadpanned but had to endure the insult silently. His uncle, Robert Arnaldo Dixon, the king of BALVINA spoke first clearing his throat awkwardly,

" Cedric! Don't be so rude! We come to give our blessings."

Cedric chuckled eyeing on the people around and spitted without hesitation,

" Don't embarrass the word ' Blessing'."

Robert's adopted daughter, Sienna decided to speak on her father's sake,

" Cedric, father has no other intentions."

She paused abruptly and contioued stressing on her words rudely,

" Besides we would like to see what kind of woman that you made the first bride of our Dixon Clan."

Clearly it was shown that Sienna wasn't happy with this wedding. Her expression was deadly pale as if she was struggling hard to hide her true emotions. Even her glistening gown couldn't cover her wrath that she was feeling from inside.Her almond shaped eyes were glaring at the carriage as if she was putting it in fire just by gazing at it. Her jaw clenched occasionally in deep frustration and anger. Cedric didn't quite care about their words and turned around to guide Ayra downwards.

After coming down, Ayra was baffled out to see so many unfamiliar people. She heard that Cedric had only two sisters and other relatives didn't share any close bond with his family.

Sienna's fist were clenched tightly after realizing that this new wife was really angelic in appearance. Her jealousy grew stronger and she started to find a flaw desperately but Ayra wasn't lacking anything.

Taking a look of her surrounding, Ayra felt nervous and started to wander how to greet them properly. Cedric saw through her hesitation and gripped her palms silently.

Startled by his sudden cold touch, she looked up at him and saw the hidden dissatisfaction behind the layer of his eyes. It seemed like he wasn't happy about them arriving here suddenly.

Benting his head down a little, he whispered indifferently,

" You don't have to be so courteous to them. Even if you kill one of them, I will probably help you burying their dead bodies."

Ayra was stunned before blinking her long eyelashes awkwardly. He again resumed his talk with a devilish smile,

" All I care is about our wedding night."
