Loved By a Vampire King

HUMAN WORLD,

The loud music throughout the whole area was giving him damn headache. That's the reason, he quickly stepped out from the building after paying off their bills. All the while, the girl was trailing him like a pet cat nagging for his master's attention. She had been apologising for the earlier kiss restlessly.

Much to his surprise, although he put on a rigid face but deep in his mind, he didn't mind the kiss too much. More than that the kiss enlightened something unknown in his mind and suddenly he was craving for it but swallowed it hard.

From his childhood, he had always been a busy boy only focusing on his martial arts, learning political affairs and obeying his mother always. There wasn't any woman in his lifetime who succeed to gain his attention just like she did.His mind felt distracted and troubled when the scene of her kissing played in front of his eyes symmetrically.

He cursed himself inwardly for being pervert and glared at the voice coming behind him.

Athena also got out from the tall building with him and started pleading again,

" Master, please.. I'm apologising to you for a decade almost. Why are you being so stubborn and not giving me a damn look? Am I too ugly?"

Ethan breathed deeply and turned his face with a pair of downcasted eyes before replying,

" I already said that it's okay.. But it was you who asked me publicly that I'm virgin or not.. Don't you have no shame? For God's sake, you are a girl. "

Athena pouted and replied laughing lightly,

" But I never ever imagined that such a handsome boy isn't being touched by any beauty. Tsk.. Tsk.. Tsk... Master, I suddenly feel sorry for your future wife for stealing the first kiss of yours. "

Ethan asked perching up his eyebrows doubtly,

" Then.. wasn't it your first kiss too? "

Athena's smile fainted at his inquiry as her gaze dropped on the empty street blankly loosing in her thoughts.

Her playful expression changed into a pathetic look as her eyes unleashed a deep mystery of her own.

She pursued her lips to speak up but the loud thunder coming down from the dark sky quickly diverted her attention.

The random winds started blowing from nowhere causing all the dust from the ground twisting in the air high above.The few passer byers on the street quickly took a safe shelter in the nearby buildings.

Ethan looked up to see the lightening sky with his trembling eyelids and urged,

" It seems like it will start raining soon. Let's get back inside the bar until the rain stops."

Athena ignored his words and suggested pulling him towards the street,

" No.. Let's walk in the rain.. It will be so fun, trust me.."

Ethan hesitated and said,

" But I still haven't taught you any lessons."

Athena said glancing at the first raindrop falling from the sky,

" My lessons can be late but this rain won't wait for us."

Ethan insisted, " But... "

Athena continued looking deep through his eyes,

" Sometimes you should just enjoy the current happiness that you have right now. Who knows! It won't come back to you ever or not."

Athena didn't give him the chance to retaliate anymore and hurriedly dragged him in the wet empty street.

In no time, the summer rain started falling down from the sky along with thunderstorms and loud thunder strokes. The heavy rain completely drenched the two figures walking through the street.

Athena laughed and jumped like a spoiled child here and there whereas Ethan put on an annoyed face following her closely.

Soon after, they reached at the city's high bridge.All the while, Athena was busy playing with the cold raindrops and didn't pay attention to the person behind her.

Suddenly her eyes caught a side on the edge of bridge as she speeded up her paces curiously.Ethan frowned at her sudden change of direction but still followed her.

As she got near the paper box, a small head popped out from the box with it's round pleading eyes.

Ethan spoke first, " It's a puppy.."

Athena said unwrapping the box,

" Yeah.. Someone must have abandoned it here. How can anyone leave a little puppy here? It can be died anytime especially under this tough weather."

She lifted up the puppy in her embrace and said anxiously,

" Let's go to a nearby dry place first."

Looking down on the puppy in her hands, she added,

" It is shivering horribly. "

Ethan nodded agreeing with her and led her towards a nearby marketplace. It was midnight and all the super shops were closed down. Without them, no one had sheltered under the building because of the heavy rain.

The puppy looked so small yet pitiful.It glanced around curiously and occasionally glanced at the two faces staring at it.His white fur were soaked because of the heavy rain and it started squirming in her lap.

She ordered Ethan,

" Quick, find a dry towel or any clothes for me. If I don't dry him, it will be dying soon."

Ethan wanted to say that where the hell he would find a dry towel for her now. But considering her concern filled gaze towards the puppy, he gave up and went on searching for a towel.

Shortly after, Ethan came back holding a brand new towel and handed it to her. Athena took it from him quickly without offering a thank you as Ethan snorted coldly.

She started wiping the little puppy and coaxed like a little baby,

" Sshh.. Don't be afraid.. I got you, baby.. I won't let you get hurt.."

Ethan laughed at her coaxing words and said,

" You are speaking like you are coaxing your own baby.."

Athena paused at her track and the faint smile from her lips disappeared quickly into the darkness of her drenched face.

VAMPIRE WORLD,

MOONSHINE CASTLE,

Queen Mother waited patiently to get an affirmative answer but the girl was taking so long.

She hated disobedient people around her but unfortunately she had no way out except cooperating with Vanessa. She had a strong family background and a seducing figure which could be very useful to control his son if the plan succeed.

Moreover she was well acquainted with Aaron from his prince era.He will obviously take a fancy on her one day.

As Vanessa pursued her lips to agree with her, there was a light knock on the door along with Jasper's urging voice,

" May I come in, Queen Mother?"

Queen Mother frowned slightly at his sudden appearance and permitted speaking loudly,

" Come in."

The door was pushed open with a creak and Jasper entered lowering down his head.

His eyebrows crooked at the sight of Vanessa and said plainly,

" Pardon my sudden appearance, Queen Mother. But Lord has summoned Miss Vanessa to join him in the dinner at guest house now."

Vanessa frowned hardly and fell in dilemma.

Wasn't he angry over her? How did his mood change so fast?

Queen Mother read her puzzled face and gestured her to leave fast not wasting this rare opportunity.Vanessa's face immediately beamed at the thought that Aaron might have started caring for her.

She walked out briskly before taking a glance of her reflection on the mirror. Unfortunately she didn't had the time to get ready for him more beautifully. Therefore he was waiting for her already.Jasper also followed after her.

It took only few seconds to reach the lavishing guesthouse. Vanessa looked at herself carefully and gently pushed open the door putting on a wide smile.

The man was lazily leaned against the big chair as his eyes fell on her coldly.

She spoke smiling brightly,

" My king, you have summoned me."

Aaron didn't bother to look at her appearance closely and waved his hands saying nonchalantly,

" Let's have dinner together."

Vanessa nodded comprehensively and quickly went to occupy the spot beside him.

Aaron glared at her face showing a dismissive look and ordered,

" Sit over there.."

Her face fell when he indicated the spot near from him.

On the other side,

Despite the maids warning, Esme stepped out from her bedroom intending to go down. One of the maid still requested her while trailing behind her,

" My Lady, you really shouldn't go down there as Lord hasn't asked you to go over there."

The maid really warned her for her well being.She was very well known about Aaron's character after working at the castle for a few decades at least.He never liked to be bothered at his private time such as family gatherings or having dinner with friends.

Esme dragged her feet slowly and finally reached in front of the guesthouse. The door was closed from inside as she gazed hard at the shut door.

The guards looked each others face blankly and wanted to stop her from entering in. But Esme was too fast to kick open the door boldly.

The guards and maids jolted in fear of Aaron's bad temper and hurriedly looked down trembling all over.

Her low yet powerful voice echoed through the lavishing room like a soothing tone,

" Get out ! I want privacy with the king now."

Vanessa glared at her face viciously.
