Loved By a Vampire King

For a moment, she felt wordless at his moody and unscrupulous attitude. She never said that she wasn't willing to hear him.

Taking in reconsideration that he had helped her to quest her thirst, she spoke in a soft tone,

" Hey, don't get mad at me for no reason. I was just being a curious cat.

Can you tell me what happened?

Where did you lose her?

What's her name?"

In a sigh, she asked a series of question serially and was focused on his lips.

Ethan looked back at her sparking face, thought for a while and decided that it should be best not to disclose everything to her.

Moreover she belonged to vampire world which could bring unnecessary troubles in the future. It was best to hide Esme's true identity from her.

He still didn't know that why their mother hated vampire world so much. Thus he dared not to say anything.

Scratching his nose awkwardly, he spoke tugging his hands into his jeans pocket,

" She used to live here but suddenly I lost connection with her. Now I can't find her anywhere.

I have been searching for her all the while."

Athena watched his dull face and realised the seriousness of the situation.She kept quite for a minute before suggesting hesitantly,

" Do you mind if I help you searching her? "

Ethan frowned slightly and turned away to face her asking confused,

" Why do you want to help me?"

Athena saw his suspicious gaze and hurriedly waved her hands,

" Don't think anything wrong about me. I just like to help people. In exchange, you can teach me how to fight like you. How is that??"

Ethan let out a soft chuckle and asked in a teasing voice,

" What? Do you now admit that I'm stronger than you?"

Caught in act!

Athena coughed lightly and spoke ignoring his teasing gaze,

" What.. what do you mean by that.. I didn't say that. It's just, my mother doesn't allow me to practice fight.

Why don't we help each others then? "

Sounds great!

Ethan thought comprehensively and wished to agree with her.

First of all Esme's whereabouts was still unknown and it was no doubt that Athena's help could be smooth his work much.

Shortly after he hummed in agreement still gazing at those dim city lights but the girl was rather excited as her eyes were gleaming along with her milky teeth smiling brightly.

She shouted out stretching her right hand elegantly,

" So it's a deal. I will help you to find your sister in exchange you will be my master ."

He turned his head to face her blooming expression, smiled faintly and reached out to shake her hand like a noble man.

Her hand seemed so soft that it gave him a sudden wave in his heart as he took it back hurriedly.

But both of them never knew that this journey was leading to entangle their fates with each others forever.

After shaking hands with her new master, her eyes fell on the slightly lightening sky hinting that it was becoming morning soon.

She grunted and turned to speak reluctantly,

" Master, I guess I have to go back to my home now. It is becoming morning . I will come back tomorrow again at ten a.m here."

Ethan looked at her and nodded with

understanding,

" Go ahead. I will be here tomorrow. Then we can search everywhere together. Be sure to reach at time and don't be late. "

Athena laughed and gave a bow before saying

" Sure master " and left from there starting her way towards the opposite direction.

Ethan diverted his attention from her retreating back and sighed softly, murmuring to himself,

" Esme, where have you gone? I miss you. "

VAMPIRE WORLD,

MOONSHINE CASTLE,

the door opened with so loud bang that Vanessa was trembling all over and turned to see the doorstep in horror.

When she saw the person at the doorstep was Aaron, her expression turned sour and all of sudden her heart started trembling violently.

Still she forced a smile and got up from the bed clutching her own clothes tightly,

" My king, is there anything you need from me?"

Aaron gazed at her face deeply before swiping his sharp gaze across the whole room.Even the tiny corners among the furnitures didn't leave his gaze. His face was so cold and stern as if he had eaten the most disgusted food in his life.

His slow but dangerous footsteps echoed through the whole room as he gazed around suspiciously for quite some times.

Vanessa forced herself to stay calm as she stood there silently and was gulping down her unknown fear quietly.

Watching him still in silence, Vanessa mustered up the courage to speak with her shaking voice,

" My king..."

Aaron interrupted instantly and asked shooting her a suspicious gaze,

" Did anyone come here, Vanessa?"

The question left her in terror along with a thunderstruck. Thus she tried her best to maintain her calm and rational posture and replied with a smile,

" No, your highness. Who will come to my room inside the castle? I was resting in my bed. No body was here with me. "

She still wanted to make it convinced as she added,

" What happened, Aaron? Did anyone barge in the castle? You.. you should put on more guards around you. "

Aaron sharpened his gaze on her still being suspicious at her words and nodded before walking outside.

Vanessa gave a long sigh of relief watching him leaving quickly. Midway Aaron turned back suddenly and added before made his way outside again,

" You should know Vanessa that I don't show any mercy to the betrayers."

Vanessa lifted up her gaze slightly in nervousness but Aaron didn't wait for her reply and directly walked out.

Just then she wanted to close the door, she saw that Aaron left his guards to watch over her outside of her room.

The hands on the door paused slightly as she looked back inside her room nervously and took a long sigh of relief finding no one.

The night went pass smoothly welcoming the terrific vampire world with a warming sun.Esme slept somehow in relax when Aaron wasn't beside her.

She didn't feel empty a bit honestly. Rubbing her drowsy eyes, she looked straight through the window and found the morning sun instantly.

Then he recalled his words earlier and hurriedly got up before heading inside the washroom.

When she climbed down, unexpectedly no one was present at the dinning table. Cautiously she watched the clock and indeed it was too early to get up for everyone.

The thought of roaming outside for the first time after being caged here made her excited no matter what.

After all everyone loves to being free like a bird.

She took the spot quickly and respectively the maids served her the breakfast slightly surprised to see her waking up early in the morning.

But nobody uttered any word and served her politely. After witnessing their Lord personally pampers this lady, in their eyes her status was already been lifted high above.

As she joined having breakfast, a lady in a black uniform walked straight inside the dinning place.

Esme looked up to watch the entrance still munching the fresh bread and frowned slightly after seeing her.

The lady looked stiff and cold undoubtedly an expression of Vampire. Her skin wasn't so white like Esme but it was lighter than black.Her sharpened gaze, thick lips all resembled her like a guard in the castle.

She gave a long, respective bow to Esme before speaking in her thrilling tone,

" My lady, Lord has appointed me to take care of you from now on. I will be with you always. You can ask me anything regarding your needs."

She glanced at her half eaten breakfast and continued,

" After you finish your breakfast, I will take you outside. "

Esme gazed at her dumbfounded but still nodded and continud having her breakfast as fast as possible.

Then another roaring voice broke the peaceful atmosphere across the table,

" What do you mean by taking her out? "

Everyone jolted and watched at the direction of the sound coming in.

Even Esme lifted up her gaze from her breakfast and found Queen Mother standing at the railing gazing at her angrily.

She spoke stepping down from the stairs and walked towards her,

" Who gave you the permission to go out?

Do you think that you have become our Queen so that you can order our trained guards to take you outside and follow your order?

You are just a filthy human who still isn't considered as my son's mate.

You gave you the permission to go out, huh? "

Her roaring shivered everyone present there as all lowered their heads. Esme frowned hard, got up from the chair slightly before parting her lips to speak out.

But another voice interrupted her intention as everyone turned their attention towards the doorsteps,

" Me. I gave her the permission to go out."
