Loved By a Vampire King

Ayra had awakened up from her unconscious state with an extreme headache. Her head was buzzing and it was difficult to get up at once. Rolling her eyes around to take a look of her surrounding, she discovered that she was taken back to her room. But then memories drifted back to the moment when she met the stranger who had same face like her father. Her lips trembled together and those emotions hit her hard. Her lips called her father affectionately,

" Da..dad.."

" You are awake!", came the sudden voice from her side forcing her thoughts back to reality. Whipping her head aside, she found Cedric walking over to her slowly with a glass of hot tea in his hand. He was still in his formal suite and usual cold aura which didn't shriek her in fear anymore.

She exhaled fluttering her eyes before speaking,

" When did you return? I thought, you would be late. You still haven't changed?"

Cedric didn't answer any of her questions. He plopped down beside her before passing the hot mug with a smile,

" Drink it fast. You have absorbed a bit of my power. This drink will help you feeling better."

Ayra held a startled look on her expression. Holding the mug between her fingers strangely, she questioned looking up at him blankly,

" Your power? Dark power? Why did I needed it?"

Dark powers scared her the most likely. Her hybrid powers often made her loosing control from herself which was enough to make her guilt turning skyrocket. Now absorbing dark powers could make it worsen. She had every reason to worry about her own self.

Cedric leant back supporting one of his hand on the bed and enjoyed the startled expression that she had. After a while, he replied with a smirk,

" You are going to have a heart failure if you worry too much, Princess. It is okay to absorb dark powers occasionally. You aren't an average vampire or average fairy. You will be no harm to anyone."

Ayra sighed heavily in relief and clutched the mug more tightly. Her face returned to gloomy state and subconsciously she hung her head lower. Who could possibly trick her by using her father's face? So far, she didn't encounter any enemy in Basarisk nor did she had any terrible fight with anyone here.

Her mind immersed into those thoughts and without noticing, she felt her chin lifting up to meet those concerned eyes. Cedric asked sweetly, making sure that she didn't fear too much,

" Who made my wife unhappy? May I know?"

Ayra bit her lips together and struggled hard to hold those tears. She was so foolish to believe that her father had returned to meet her.

How could a death come back in life?

Ayra lowered her eyes down and replied in a cracking voice,

" I..I met my father today, Cedric..My bio father..But then I realized that it wasn't him.. Someone was playing with me..I..."

Ayra choked on her saliva and couldn't complete her words as her tears brust down in no moment. She was ashamed to cry in front of him like a baby but it was hard to fight back with your tears when you are feeling vulnerable this time. Cedric narrowed his eyes and pressed her against her chest before coaxing softly,

" Hush! It's okay to cry, Princess. There is no shame in crying. Is that why did you faint?"

Ayra buried her head into his chest. Apart from her loving family, for the first time someone had coaxed her so gently. The feeling was sweet and it was impossible for her to believe that he was that bad demon whom everyone feared in that moment. She sniffed her nose and muttered confusingly,

" I don't know..why did I faint..It was all gone after I looked back..He was talking about killing you..My father wouldn't ever say that to me..Why would I kill my own husband?"

Her voice sounded concerned as if she was afraid of hurting him. Cedric had a sly smirk on his face when he sensed the depth behind her voice. She was invoulantarily opening her heart for him. It was good sign to claim her for eternity and he couldn't be less happier than that.

Cedric weaved his fingers through her curls and spoke sweetly,

" Are you worried about me?"

Ayra paused between her words and bit her lips shyly. She was really worried for him probably more than herself. To hide her awkward feelings, she changed the subject before asking slowly,

" Was.. was it really my father? What do you think?"

Cedric didn't respond to her at once. Looking away from her head, he replied patiently in a calm voice,

" Death can be returned by any spell, Princess. Your two different powers often clash with each others and create delusions for your brains. I assume that those visions were just part of your memory."

Ayra frowned deeply and was little taken back by his words. She missed her father sometimes too much. There was a possibility that she might have imagined him too deeply or it was real?

The battle was sided back inside her mind when she found a fun topic to tease him a little bit. Raising her head up to glance at his soft expression, she chuckled trying to ease up the tense atmosphere passed between them,

" Then I am worried that suddenly I will imagine someone else as you. Huh!"

His look changed in a flip of moment and he stared hard into her eyes without saying anything. Looking down at the mug of tea that had turned cold, he gestured at it a bit coldly,

" It seems like you care about everything else more than your own health. Drink now!"

Ayra was startled by his sudden cold vibe. Lowering her eyes down at her mug, she noticed that it was turned cold as they were chatting for a while without drinking it. Ayra muttered a bit nervously,

" It's...cold..now.."

Cedric gave her a sharp glare and shifted his eyes on her mug. Reaching out to touch the opposite side of her mug, he expressed his powers a little. In a blink of eye, the tea was once again hot and hot smoke was already hitting her nostrils.

Ayra was stunned and heard him saying slowly,

" It is hot. Now drink!"

She blinked few times before taking a short gulp. He always had his savage ways to extract anything. In her moment of distraction, her index finger had slipped inside the hot tea. Her face scrunched in pain and an invoulantarily hiss passed through her lips. She couldn't help but groaning a little. The tea had turned too hot for her good sake as if it was burnt inside fire just now. Which was why, she felt more painful than usual.

Cedric watched her actions with a deep frown. Sometimes he had a feeling like he was taking care of clumsy baby. Looking down at her burning finger, he extended his hand to grab her finger and put it inside his mouth directly.

Hot tongue brushed against her finger. Her cheeks turned pink when he licked it sensually. Her hand fisted the end of her cloth and she could hear her heartbeat racing.

How could he do everything so sensually each time?

Her cheeks were getting hot in each moment. She had to look away to hide her shyness. Only after he slipped out her finger from his mouth, she turned her face around to shoot him a glare. Cedric tilted her chin up as if he was explaining a serious issue even though she stated as a joke,

" There is no one like me in this world, Princess. I hold the right to watch your red cheeks which I suck you. You know, I don't like sharing. There will be no one but me in your life only."

Ayra didn't understand why the hell he had become so serious suddenly. Knitting her brows together, she clarified truthfully,

" I was just joking...Why are you.."

Cedric hussed her, putting his thumb on her parted lips to let him speak,

" Jokes shouldn't be cracked when you can't afford to pay the consequence. You know, I am terrible person, don't you? I can't be much mean than what I was to Seth."

Ayra watched him unblinkingly. His words sounded a bit odd today and she didn't why she felt a chill running through her skin. She muttered awkwardly,

" You sound terrible sometimes, you know."

Cedric chucked running his thumb over her hot lips to whisper,

"Love me more..make me yours, Princess..The world can be fuck off.."
