Loved By a Vampire King

In this unfriendly atmosphere, there were sparkles in her eyes as soon as Zave's words travelled inside her eardrums. Pushing away those absorb thoughts momentarily, Queen Mother hauled up from her chair before rushing towards Zave who stood at a little distance away from her sitting spot.

Holding the urge of letting out victorious laughter, she blabbered anxiety contained in her tongue,

" Zave.. finally.. Finally.. you have done something right that has matched my expectation. What's more I can ask from you in this situation."

Zave who was smiling all the while to this foolish woman had a sly smirk tugging in his lips. Taking out the antic bottle from his pocket, he lifted it up in the air holding between his two fingers and replied mysteriously,

" I thought that it was the best time of handing you over this antidote, Queen Mother. After all , you have been too patience over lord this time. However did the girl being marked by Lord so far? The new moon has only three days left before coming."

Queen mother sneered coldly looking away into the pitch darkened corner deeply,

" How I wished that Aaron was my biological son! He couldn't have ever done this to me. How dare he banish me from my position from that fiesty woman! Trust me Zave, I was still wandering over using this antidote over him or not. But now it has turned out to be compulsory for me. If I can't make him obeying me, my position is being threatened contiously. What do you say?"

Queen mother finished her words and looked up at Zave hopefully who had no expression on his face. She made sure to hear some supportive words before committing this crime. After all, applying the witch portion over the Lord was not less than committing a murder. If somehow this news got leaked out, she could be hanged in front of public eyes according to the rule of the council mercilessly.

She contemplated in her thoughts and failed to notice the evil sparkling behind Zave's eyes. She remembered the day when she got to know that Aaron had jinx blood in his veins. Even though she didn't give birth to him, she still had motherly affection towards the boy who was raised on his own without having any mother by his side. Thus she searched for a fortune teller who could suggest her a solution for Aaron's health. After researching for three full moon nights, the fortune teller only managed to say that Aaron could be saved by marrying a certain girl from human world. At that time, her hopes had been broken as she had a dream of marrying off Aaron to Vanessa who was a loyal slave to her. 

But it turned out to be that fate had something else on its sleeves. Figuring out that the girl's marked blood could save Aaron, she decided to follow the fortune teller's command and told Jasper to investigate on Esme. Lucky Aaron declared to marry this human girl without questioning and later their marriage had been held apparently according to her command. But never ever she thought that Aaron would fall for this woman and force her to use this antidote on him.

This particular witch portion was renowned in the history of Vampire clan which was later forbided to use among Vampires strictly. Only one healer around the world knew the process of making this portion. So far, Zave searched for this healer all over the world and finally found him few days ago before Aaron could figure out the healer's location to provide him a safety shelter. As the healer was known for his extraordinary medical skills, he had been wanted by many evil organizations to help them winning their evil motives. Thus he kept hiding and hiding untill the kinky Zave had caught him up from his underground house.

She was quickly snapped out from her thoughts as Zave made some noises,

" You are absolutely doing the right thing, Queen Mother. After all, you will only make Lord obeying to you, nothing else. You can't let your kingdom handing over to a mere human girl, can you? You hold the highest rank among women in this moonshine castle."

Zave buttered her up and watched her expression turning softer and prouder eventually. Puffing her chest proudly, Queen Mother quickly replied reminding another task that she gave on Zave,

" Have you met Athena? Did you discuss with her regarding the ring? I am planning to get you two engaged on the new moon day."

Zave's face turned stiff for a moment before melting into water as he replied pretending shyful deliberately,

" Yes, Queen Mother. She has agreed to choose the ring for our engagement. We will head for the shop tomorrow hopefully. As long as you agree, I have no intention of postponing the engagement date. But won't Lord's health be in trouble?"

Zave asked hiding the dark layers behind his cunning eyes and watched Queen Mother falling in dillemma. After giving it a second thought, Queen mother announced frowning deeper,

" Your words make sense. I can't handle so many chaos in a day. Then we will hold the ceremony before the new moon day. I mean that the day after tomorrow, we can hold the engagement party. By the way, you need to personally go to invite the council. They are our most honourable guest and need to be invited by any of us personally."

Zave nodded with understanding as his eyes shone brightly hearing the mention of council. Letting out a crooked smile,Zave reported his departure giving one last bow to queen mother,

" Then I will take my leave queen mother. I have other matters to settle down outside. "

Queen mother nodded before waving her hands dismissively as she clutched the bottle inside her palm in great satisfaction.

_SASHA PALACE_

As soon as Athena gave him final words, the dark clouds from Ethan's expression had been faded away faster than wind changing direction. Revealing his milky teeth, he gave a wide yet contended smile making Athena to call him fool instantly.

Unknown to express how should he react at this moment, Ethan arched his head down in order to capture her alluring lips which he had missed for so long. Before their lips could collid and melt into one, Athena swiftly turned her head aside avoiding his kissing deliberately.

Her cheeks turned hot in embarrassment as soon as a low grunt of annyonace escaped through Ethan's lips for not being gratified. Pushing his muscular chest back slightly, Athena sutured averting her eyes somewhere else,

" What... what are you doing? Don't forget that I still have a fiance. You can't kiss me just like that."

Ethan snorted out coldly before exhaling a deep helpless sigh on her burning cheek gently. Retreating himself into his previous posture, he picked up her right hand and left a precious kiss over her hand sweetly while mumbling,

" Then wait for be my queen."

He spoke before adding hurriedly,

" I should leave now before the sun sets up."

Athena blushed before of his before mentioned words and hummed coldly while looking up at his beaming face. 

Giving her a soft smile, he turned around and headed for the corridor in order to find out Siemus. As he took few steps away from Athena, she vaguely remembered another crucial matter speaking out loudly,

" Ethan..are.. are you still planning on taking back Serena in your home? Please reconsider it once again. My brother is really good to her."

Ethan halted in his tracks but didn't take her words deeply in his mind. Snapping his head back, he replied sincerely watching Athena's concerned face for her brother,

" Athena, she is the apple of my eyes. I can't let her stay with a terrible man under a forceful marriage. I know very well that what is best for her. Your brother will find out numerous women in order to fulfill her absence.."

Athena still parted her lips to say something but Ethan had left no room for discussion as he headed for the open corridor instantly.

No matter what he wasn't ready to see Esme in suffering once again! His sister deserves the best happiness in the world.

Behind Athena, Siemus had appeared out from nowhere and heard the last piece of words spoken by Ethan. Though she was happy for Athena but Esme's unrevealed secrets still bothered her mind so much.

Shifting beside Athena's side, Siemus spoke in a low voice,

" My Lady, let him take away Lady Serena. She really needs to leave before the situation turns out more terrible."

Athena's expression sank drastically and shot Siemus a suspicious glare. Suturing on her words, she inquired curiously,

" What.. what exactly did you mean , Siemus?

Siemus pondered for a while and decided to follow the truth thus replied shortly,

" She..she has a daughter to take care of.."

Athena was stunned before whispering out disbelievingly,

" What.. what did you say?"
