Chapter 107 - The Third Stage
Esme was speechless at his words before scrutinising her eyebrows sharply. Attempting to fly away from his cage, she turned her face aside before warning in a low voice,
" You.. Stop it..They can be here anytime. Furthermore how can you drink so much with your empty stomach? Don't you afraid of being drunk?"
He inhaled her unique fragrance from her hairs and mumbled,
" Mmm. no.. At least you are the one who suffer not me. "
Esme was awestruck and started protesting wriggly as her eyes continued examining around panicking,
" No.. You get up Aaron.. I don't want to be found out by others in this state."
Aaron ignored her sly protest and attempted to bite down her exposed collarbone but suddenly the girl pushed him backwards hardly,
" No.. Stop.."
Aaron gasped backing up abruptly as he seemed astounded at the pressure of her single hand. Even though he belonged to the one of the strongest vampire living among the entire world, her strength still horrified her as she successfully made him pushing backwards.
Esme was a little taken back at her own action and panted watching his pale face.
How did she manage to push him back?
In fear of angering him badly, she hauled up from couch sitting straight and said constantly,
" I'm sorry..I didn't mean to push you back.."
Aaron remained in daze for a while before beaming into a soft smile saying,
" Don't be so nervous wifey. I didn't feel angry. Wow, you must have gained some strength after our foreplay from last night."
Esme's face turned red like ripe tomato and scolded shyly,
" No.. It.. It must be you who were off guard."
Aaron decided to let go her this time and suggested pulling her closer lovingly,
" Let's have dinner together. What do you
say?"
Esme blinked before suggesting considerably,
" Then why don't we join them in the guest house? It didn't seem good when you refuse to eat with them."
Aaron replied creasing her hot cheeks,
" They are too troublesome. We two will have dinner alone. You should feel proud that I have decided to spend time with you rather than them. "
Esme rolled her eyes back and replied indifferently,
" You always want to stay with me, what's new on that?"
Aaron smiled slightly and responded looking through her innocent eyes that had filled with trust for him,
" We don't know what will happen in the future. In case I don't regret later, I want to give you my entire time. "
Esme was clueless behind his meaningful words and intended to ask further. Noticing her perplexed face, Aaron quickly drove away her attention somewhere else and urged calling out the maids,
" Get our dinner over here. "
At the end, Esme had forgot about his words eventually and paid attention on serving him dinner.
In the meantime, the news of Athena's marriage had been travelled away all over the city too fast. The normal citizens had always been interested in Royal Family affairs thus their new event of gossip had spreaded too fast within an hour. They were particularly happy for princess but the choice of Zave as her life partner didn't accept well by some citizens truthfully.
Meanwhile In
SASHA PALACE,
The chaotic weather outside had subsided a little except those drizzling that were falling down over the hills and trees continuously. The direction of wind was still so wild and vigorous that it occasionally bounced against those raindrops creating a shivering splash.
At the north window side, the girl had kept her gaze hooded over those drenched trees that resembled a new beginning of life. But her mind wasn't stable or eased for a moment after all this happened that she wished so far.
A burden had been lifted up from her shoulders and those buried guilt towards Ethan had all vanished away but she was missing something wholeheartedly. When Ethan's hateful eyes displayed inside her mind, she only felt suffocated that could kill her mercilessly.
As the shivering splashes sometimes touched her pale skin, she only felt more and more vulnerable like those helpless raindrops that couldn't stand between this heavy wind.
As another splash of raindrops showered her moist skin, she heard Siemus's lower tone behind her back,
" My Lady, they have chosen the date of your marriage. Your engagement will be holding on next week. Lord has already declared it among the members."
Athena didn't respond nor did she heed her words attentively. Exhaling a soft sigh, she asked in a deep painful tone,
" Did you see him after that? "
Siemus lowered down her head and replied softly,
" No, my lady. I had been staying near the moonshine castle. I didn't dare to find him."
Athena closed her eyes gently and ordered,
" Make sure that he had returned to his world safely. Don't let him roam around our boarder anymore. Go and find him now."
Siemus appeared hesitant but accepted comprehensively,
" As you wish my lady. "
After receiving her order, Siemus left the room shifting into her eagle form and intended to find Ethan without knowing the future that she was going to discover another truth.
Crimond Hill,
Soaking under the constant drizzling that had made his skin more whitey,Ethan finally arrived at the Hill anxiously. As long as he couldn't see Ayra safe and sound, his mind won't feel ease at all.
Stopping far away from the villa, thousand questions appeared in his mind as he gazed around the cold environment skeptically. The villa had no light from outdoor and perhaps he would have mistaken it as an abandoned house if Anna didn't mention this particular villa firmly.
Gazing around, he didn't find anymore houses and decided to climb up finally. Passing the muddy path, he reached in front of the wooden door that seemed expensive.
Who own this villa?
From the exterior design, Ethan could sense that this owner has an exclusive taste choosing brickwork. Filled with numerous questions, Ethan finally knocked on the door gently.
Inside, Anna and Ayra had already fallen asleep aside except Ron who had been reading his medical books till then. As he was a vampire, he doesn't sleep like other creatures.
Hearing this light knocks, Ron was alerted before putting down his book hastily. Reaching in a light of speed aside the door, he tried to hear any noise from outside but nothing came out.
Ethan knocked once again hardly and was feeling suspicious. Over the other side, Ron stood still contemplating in his thoughts and finally decided to open it boldly.
Taking a glimpse of the two sleeping figure over the shabby bed, Ron opened the door partially and spotted an unknown figure.
On the flip side, Ethan was stunned after discovering an unfamiliar man inside and gazed at him harshly. From his powers, Ethan could sense that the boy was a vampire and immediately felt enlarged.
Without waiting for hearing any explanation, Ethan charged forward manically and grabbed Ron's throat harshly. Ron was off guard and didn't expect his attack at all. Thus he was dragged few metres back before his back was pressed against the broken table hardly.
Looking down at Ron's face viciously, Ethan shouted angrily,
" Who the hell are you? What are you doing in Anna's House? What the hell you vampires want from us?"
MOONSHINE CASTLE,
After their dinner, Aaron urged Esme to sleep in her room as he sat downstairs for a while. He felt happy and sad at the same time that her sealed powers had been ravishing slowly and probably she couldn't realise it because of her carelessness as she lived among humans for seven years.
Smiling bitterly, he momentarily forced himself to forget those negative thoughts and thought of spending this especial moments that spared between them.
Thus intending to sleep beside her, he started climbing upstairs slowly but at midway, his head started feeling dizzy all of sudden.
He clutched the railings tightly and exhaled a long breathe. Attempting to take another step, his pace missed because of his dizziness before slipping off from the stairs banging loudly.
Aaron grunted slightly feeling weak and fell down on the ground loudly. His face faced the cold floor as he whimpered lowly panting and gasping rapidly.
Unfortunately no one was nearby when he fell down as the maids were busy in servicing their prominent guests. At that time Jasper was entering the hallway with a heavy heart that Athena's marriage had been fixed with Zave.
Even though he never dreamed of having her in this life, still his heart was aching uncontrollably. As soon as he stepped in, he spotted the fallen figure over the ground flatly.
His expression turned pale before rushing over Aaron quickly. Kneeling down, he called numerous times checking his face again and again,
" Lord.. Lord.. what happened to you? Speak to me, Lord.. Lord.."
As soon as he pulled up Aaron's wrist to check the pulse, Jasper's expression turned horrified as he located the black vein in the middle of his wrist line.
Gasping loudly, Jasper fighted with his sobbing tone hardly before mumbling,
" The third stage....!!!! "
