Loved By a Vampire King

RECOMMENDED SONG: Back To You By Selena Gomez ~❤️

MOONSHINE CASTLE.../

Aaron stood still in frozen for a couple of moments until Jasper reminded him clearing his throat awkwardly that he didn't give him any response.

The reason was crystal clear behind it. The old lord had started showing off his powers over the people of Moonshine who would dance according to his finger twisting literally. His motive behind everything wasn't unknown to Aaron. He was forcing Aaron to use Esme and kill her soon after sucking her blood dry. When he rejected the proposal given by the old Lord, he was already expecting this outcome and that finally happened.

Aaron understood that perhaps the reason behind old lord's interference was pure but he couldn't deny the fact that he had done overboard this time. Clenching his fists together, Aaron was about to spit out the thought that he would help Esme relieving her pain in every possible way. But..

At that moment, his subconscious mind reminded him the bitter truth that he had lost half of his superpowers. He was no longer the most powerful Vampires of all time who could control an average Vampire's life just in a twist.

Swallowing down his prepared words, his expression turned vacant, clueless about the situation that was passing between them. Jasper saw the evident pain in his eyes but he could only sigh helplessly. It was his own choice to give up his powers in exchange of Esme's safety.

Waving his hands dismissively, Aaron commanded lowly,

" I don't care from where you will find a healer but you must come in my sight with a capable one Vampire. Or else forget about living in this castle."

Jasper was bewildered for a moment after hearing him out as if sky had broken down over his head.

Why was he the only victim of his wrath every time?

But he couldn't spit out those words and could only fly away before Aaron brust out more. After the man left, Aaron closed off the door in thud and walked over Esme lazily.

Sitting down beside her, he questioned narrowing his deep red eyes which was filled with worry for her,

" What is happening with you,baby? I seem to find it too weird."

He talked even though he knew that the girl wouldn't hear him out. His gaze turned distracted, averted his eyes on her injured wrist and picked it up very naturally in fear of harming her more.

Once he gazed down deeply, Aaron's expression turned black in astonishment as he repeatedly inspected the spot anxiously. Twisting her hand back and forth, his face had a horrified expression as soon as he noticed that her bloodstains were all vanished away within a moment.

He couldn't believe his own eyes that were bewildering in shock. Pursuing his lips together, he murmured to himself lowly, 

" How.. how can it be possible?"

Even with her own fairy powers, it was impossible to demolish a scar within a very few moments. At least, she needed to use a spell to heal herself but she was unconscious all the time.

After concluding every possibilities, Aaron had reached one thought finally that there was another power which was helping his wife to recover fast.

But who could be so generous to heal his woman?

Even after scratching his brain for a long time, he couldn't assume anyone who could offer Esme such power. Above all, she had no relatives in this world let alone a friend.

As he dwelled in his thoughts, the lying girl finally groaned lowly between her dream and vaguely felt a presence nearby.

Esme blinked few times before watching the man sitting ahead of her in daze. Shifting her eyes around the room, she appeared confused as soon as she found herself lying on the bed.

Didn't she go to use the bathroom? How did she come here?

After using the basin, the rest of her memory was blank as she couldn't memorize the thought that how did she come back here!

 Burying the curiousity in her mind, her focus shifted back over the man whose expression was puzzled. Supporting her arms to haul up, she asked lowly in a distant voice,

" What are .. you doing here? How..how did I get back here?"

Aaron narrowed his gaze further as he asked back in his hoarse tongue,

" You.. you can't remember?"

Esme blinked before shaking her head negatively. Her face tensed up once she noticed that Aaron seemed anxious on her state too. Tightening his lips together, Aaron didn't want to scare her off as he used a warm , gentle tongue to tell her,

" You were hurting yourself inside the washroom."

Esme was astounded blurting out disbelievingly,

" What..? Why will I hurt myself? Where did I get hurt?"

She spoke before dropping her eyes down in an attempt of checking on her health. Aaron assured moving closer nervously,

" Nothing happened actually! I.. I went after you fast."

Esme was muddle headed and looked up at him pondering deeply. Aaron comforted her gently patting her head,

" Don't worry! The healer will check on your health later. Now go have to sleep. I have other matters to resolve before dawn."

Aaron stated and didn't want to trigger her fear more. Thus it was the most inconspicuous way to leave the room wisely. 

As he inteneded to get up, Esme suddenly called out his name tenderly,

" Aaron.."

Aaron paused feeling electrocuted once he heard her sweet tender voice calling him out lovingly. Like a controlled robot, he sat back obediently and looked up at her silently.

Her eyes were flooding with mixed emotions that she couldn't express in words. The pain of loosing Carol all of sudden, leaving Aaron for eternity all this pains were cutting her heart deeply that she wanted to shout out loudly but her throat was dry.

Spending a moment in this odd weeping silence, Esme murmured painfully,

" I..I am very sad today.. Can you accompany me for the night?"

Aaron was stunned and was lost of words as soon as her aching tongue travelled into his ears. As he didn't answer her back, Esme feared that he was still mad on her. Thus she used more softer tongue to plead him,

" Please..! I need you tonight.!"

She stated and kept staring at his flabbergasted face deeply. Once Aaron came back to his sense, he was overwhelmed with happiness. He heard from his aunt once that a woman who wanted a man during her painful state was the love of her life.

He nodded comprehensively and slipped out from his calloused shoes unhurriedly. Esme smiled faintly before drifting further and emptied the spot beside her bed side.

Aaron happily hopped onto the bed before occupying the discerned spot beside her and laid down. Esme could sense the cold aura that he was holding on and could only sigh longingly.

Once she laid down beside him, there was an invisible barrier between them pushing the two persons distant apart from each others warmth. 

Moments later, the room was filled with dense silence filled with long sighs that escaped through her lips frequently. They never had such situation to stay mute like a plaything but no one was willing to break the walls.

Aaron was still watching her each transparent expression from the corner of his eyes. How her brows furrowed together, a sadness of loosing Carol along with the everlasting loneliness that she had with her life since she was fallen into the world of humans.

No matter how hardened he made himself, he couldn't endure the hiding pain of Esme anymore. Thus he informed using a very nonchalant tongue as if he was narrating a fantasy story,

" Carol has been missing since her way back to moonshine from her friend's house. The guards couldn't find her trace from the street. Even her riding horse was gone."

Esme was stunned before snapping her head aside in astonishment. The man was still facing the ceiling above and didn't meet her startled eyes that were staring on his face deeply.

Blinking abruptly, Esme whispered softly too shocked to believe him,

" You.. you.. investigated on Carol.. Really?"

Aaron gulped looking at the centre of ceiling while answering abruptly,

" I just thought of checking out.."

Esme couldn't resist her emotions anymore and jumped on his chest instantly. Wrapping her arms around her neck, she couldn't stop her tears from falling down. She found herself too selfish to leave the man who cherished her in every possible way.

Her tears fell down uncontrollably as she mumbled in a low pathetic voice, confused about whom she did ask to him or to herself,

" Why do you love me so much? Why?? Tell me one reason..tell me the reason so that I can make you hate me..I..I can't stand your love..Aaron.. Please."

Aaron remained motionless as his shirt was getting soaked by her uncontrollable tears miserably. Even he asked himself several times to figure out this answer but he couldn't find it out till now.

How would he answer her? Or how would he tell her that he is that man who would shatter her trust soon after?

He was clueless and laid down like a statue without any movement. After crying badly, Esme's mind finally worked out as she made a bold statement to the man whom she loved badly,

" Aaron.. please make a love to me tonight..I..I want to forget everything.."

Aaron jolted stunningly and looked down at the woman who kept clinging onto his shoulders.

His gaze was turning darker in lust eventually...
