Loved By a Vampire King

The burning question made everyone's shift their attention to Esme subconsciously. Even Esme herself remained dumbstruck and looked at Queen Mother's way blankly.

Why did she feel targeted by her? 

Queen Mother shifted in her spot uncomfortably and coughed lightly before expressing her thoughts,

" Well.. I.. was suggesting that... why.. why not Esme let Vanessa drink her.. blood a little? The child is having severe pain for so long.. Can't.. can't you consider this option?"

" Enough!" the roaring voice buzzed across the room like a thunderstroke leaving goosebumps in everyone's body.

Even Queen Mother wasn't prepared for this response and gulped down her own saliva moving awkwardly.

Esme shifted her frightened eyes over Aaron and found his piercing gaze on Queen Mother. His face lost the beaming that he had earlier and switched into a terrifying aura.His eyes turned bloodshot as if it was ready to entangle Queen Mother.

Queen Mother looked around and found everyone's eyes of pity on her. She felt like humiliated after being scolded by his own son in front of everyone.

Thus she ignored her panicked heart and forcefully continued ignoring Aaron's burning eyes,

" I.. I was suggesting the best way to treat Vanessa fast. Moreover nothing will happen to Esme if she losses some blood. After eating properly, she won't even feel weak.. You. you can't just ignore Vanessa's health because of this tiny matter.."

Hearing her flattering words, Vanessa added more purposely groaning,

" Leave it Queen Mother.. you can't ask the Queen to give me blood..."

Aaron's voice interrupted their playful act as he said stepping near his mother slowly,

" Do you think Esme as her pet? She isn't someone whose blood can be donated to a vampire. When I, being her lawfully husband never drink her blood, what right Vanessa has to drink her blood? You are forgetting her status in the castle. She is the queen of us, not any mere human. "

His words were powerful than his voice.Even the maids felt ashamed on behalf of Queen Mother for this outrageous request. 

Esme stared at his back blankly. Her heart fell into a warm feeling that she had never faced before. Subconsciously his protective attitude reminded her Ethan's face who used to shield her always. Even at her grieve state, he took the stab for her and saved Ayra from getting hurt.

Queen Mother felt her heart stopped beating under his scornful eyes thus she lowered down her eyes and silently compromised. But the invisible slap was written all over her face vividly. 

Aaron's mood was worsened as he didn't want to stay there anymore. He turned around and ordered Jasper coldly, 

" Take how many guards you want! But I want blood within half an hour or else each one of you wil be beheaded." 

Then he pulled Esme and stepped out of the room following towards their bedroom.. 

After entering their room, he left Esme's hand and went in front of the mirror intending to take off his coat. 

Esme stood near the doorway and slowly closed the door behind. As she looked up, she found Aaron struggling to take off his coat as it had too many buttons and straps.Perhaps he was in foul mood and didn't pay attention to his works. 

After hesitating for a bit, she walked over him and offered in a low voice, 

" Let me help you!" 

Aaron was stunned at her initiative behavior. He quickly put down his hands to let give her access. When she didn't notice his face, a quick smirk formed in his lips. 

Esme closed the gap between them forcefully. Aaron kept his eyes locked on her expression as he saw her slender fingers went on his sleeves. She unlocked the glittering buttons one by one exposing his sexy collarbone as she found her heart raced up. 

She just didn't attempt to help him but the man really gave her respect in front of everyone which she couldn't deny it. 

Shortly after, when her fingers reached at the middle of his masculine chest, she spoke in a low voice, 

" You shouldn't have behaved with your mother like that." 

His eyes dropped on her leaning head as he replied with surprise, 

" What? Shouldn't you feel happy that I stayed by your side?" 

Esme responded still concentrating on her task, 

" I'm glad to know that you don't treat me as your pet. But I never wanted you to disobey your mother because of me.." 

Aaron's gazed at her face deeply and asked in a matter of fact,

" Then someday if my mother wants me to marry someone else, will you still say that I should just obey her order? "

Will she really agree or not, it was still a mystery in her heart? But she was aware of the fact that this guy had the ability to make her heart flatter.

Still she replied casually without looking up, 

" Yes..." 

Just as her words left her lips, her chin was groped and lifted up harshly along with a dangerous voice, 

" What did you say? Repeat it..! "

HUMAN WORLD, 

Athena gave up the question after receiving dense silence from him. Judging at his pale state, she quickly lifted up his unconscious body in a bridal style and strode towards the building. 

As a lady vampire, she definitely had the physical strength to carry him. 

The puppy trailed her behind wagging his tail as if it was also concerned about Ethan's health. 

Upstairs, Athena put him down on the floor not caring about the dust and put her two fingers on the left side of his collarbone to check his nerves.

She felt his body was getting weak gradually and suddenly she was lost about what to do. 

Thus she took off his soaked shirt and just then her eyes caught the side of the wound on his waist. 

Her mouth gasped watching the deep scar and scanned it carefully. The wound seemed old and deep but the infection didn't heal well. Thus it was reopened after getting hurt on the same spot and caused him vomiting blood. 

Over his caramel skin, it appeared like a black blemish over a fair moon. Ethan laid down closing his eyes and didn't show any signal of regaining his sense. 

In his drowsy state, he vaguely felt that someone was taking off his clothes but he had no strength to open his eyes after loosing so much blood. 

Athena stared at his spot for a few seconds and stretched out her hands to touch it gently. 

She used light strength but the man grunted in a low voice after sensing her touch. Athena took back her hands hurriedly and felt hurt for him. 

Since how long he had been enduring the pain that even a light touch from her would cause pain? 

Suddenly she recalled something and unfolded the cloth around her face. When she saw the man standing in front of Ethan, her clever brain quickly took a note that Ethan perhaps didn't want to reveal her identity in front of that man. That's why he warned her earlier not to turn around. 

Thus she covered her face with the towel and went to save her from that devilish man. 

She tried to wake up Ethan and murmured beside his ears, 

" Master.. wake up.. Master.." 

In return, she saw his lips moved a little but he didn't open his eyes. Her eyes fell on her own wet hands and bit down her lower lips in contemplated. 

She promised herself not to use her natural healing power ever! This power had snatched everything from her blissful life before! 

But when her confusion filled eyes fell on his bloodstained face, subconsciously she wanted to break her promise because of him. 

The little puppy was quite well behaved after getting upstairs. It only gazed between Ethan's pale face and Athena's puzzled expression from time to time. 

After struggling with her inner thoughts, she stretched out her long fingers shakily over his wound. 

She kept her eyes focused on the scar and soon after a light green colored radiant started spreading out from her fingers travelling down into his wound.

Gradually the bloodstains started to disappear and soon after the scars were vanishing surprisingly. 

The puppy stared at the weird light dumbfounded ! 

It was taking longer time and more strength to heal the wound than usual. Athena assumed that Ethan, himself was a powerful creature thus it required more energy to heal his body. 

On the contrary, Athena's head started feeling dizzy due to unleashing over power as she felt her stomach grumbling. 

She ignored her unstable health forcefully and gave him full strength. Ten minutes later, the wound was healed finally but Athena puked a little blood from her mouth before finishing it. 

She started coughing violently and paid attention on Ethan's movement. 

Shortly after, Ethan opened his drowsy eyes and found the girl staring at his face worriedly. 

Athena spoke up anxiously, 

" Master.. you woke up finally..." 

Ethan grunted a little and then realised that he wasn't wearing any shirt. 

His gaze fell on his bare chest as his cheeks flashed with embarrassment. 

He threw Athena an angry glare and spoke gritting his teeth, 

" What.. what have you done to me? "

Athena looked back at him flabbergasted not understanding his words of anger !
