Loved By a Vampire King

Esme shifted her eyes towards Aaron who had a murderous look that could destroy heaven and hell. The fact that he felt audibly protective of her, this newly feeling was divine. Esme gazed at Carol's lying figure as she heard his hasty footsteps coming towards them.

Without waiting for anymore interrogation, Aaron pressed his hard boot on Carol's bleeding arm earning out a mournful scream. The other maids quickly knelt on the ground fearfully as if their lives had come to an end.

Aaron gnashed his teeth angrily and asked in a hoarse tone,

" Who told you to harm her? Speak out! Who.. told you Carol.. Is that Vanessa?"

Esme's face turned stiff as she looked down on Carol coldly. She glanced on Vanessa's doorstep and didn't see any sign of her. From her perspective, Esme already assumed that Carol was definitely sent by Vanessa. Moreover Carol won't achieve anything hurting Esme.

Carol groaned in pain as she responded pleading for mercy,

" My... My Lord.. I.. I didn't do anything.."

Aaron sneered before increasing the strength of his feet that sent her another severe pain. Carol heard his demonic voice blankly,

" You are still daring to lie? Who are you saving now? Tell me.. or else you will remember my name even after your death, Carol. Tell me the truth."

Esme also waited to hear the truth but unexpectedly Carol was still loyal to Vanessa even on the verge of her death. Carol said still groaning in pain and sutured,

" I.. It was me, my lord. Nobody sent me here. I.. I was just trying to make space for Lady Vanessa.. Please forgive me.. I won't repeat my mistake.. I was wrong."

Aaron's expression darkened as he asked in disbelief,

" You are saying that you were doing a favour for Vanessa? So you have the gut to hurt my wife? "

Carol kept quite and let out another groan. Esme frowned hard at her loyalty and decided to play around with Vanessa. She suggested Aaron holding his arm gently,

" Lock her up my Lord. I think she needs more interrogation."

Aaron diverted his gaze on Esme who had wore a mysterious expression. Aaron assumed that she had other plans in her sleeves and ordered Jasper behind,

" Take this bastard out of my sight and lock her up in the dark prison. We will handle her again later."

After giving his last order, he headed for the study room as Esme followed him closely. As they entered the study together, Aaron pulled her closer before asking out curiously,

" Why did you let her go, wifey? You are way too soft in comparison with your vampire husband."

Esme chuckled lightly pushing his chest away playfully and stated her own plan,

" I just want to figure out that who try to kill her in the prison now."

She turned around and looked at him meaningfully. For the first time, Aaron felt afraid of her merciless nature that had been hidden inside her calm appearance so far. He thought that she had become soft and gentle after living with humans so far.

Hiding the hesitant behind his dark gaze, he admired forming a mischievous smirk on his tightened lips,

" Umm.You are too clever wifey. I had misjudged you."

Esme smiled back playing with the paperweight in her palms slowly. Suddenly they both heard a gentle knock over the closed door as Aaron replied fast, 

" Come In!" 

Jasper's firm body led inside following behind a middle aged man that had an aloof appearance. Bowing their heads respectively, Jasper spoke in urgency, 

" My Lord, our healer has found out something to inform you." 

Esme spotted the initiated healer behind who kept hanging down his head and seemed worried about something. Aaron gestured Jasper to leave and spoke to the healer offering him the couch at the Western corner, 

" Cheif Healer, have a seat please. Did you find out something regarding the corpse?" 

The healer looked up at Esme hesitantly. Esme saw through his gaze thus she thought of giving them space. She bowed lightly seeking for permission to go out,

" My Lord, I have something to do in my living room. Can I go back now? "

Aaron understood her intention thus pulled her to sit back on the opposite couch and instructed the healer, 

" You can in front of her cheif healer. She is my love." 

Esme blushed at his affectionate words and plopped down beside him gently. She was aware of his outrageous behaviour thus she didn't urge to slip away from the room anymore. 

The healer looked at Esme blankly and took the other couch appearing extremely worried. He cleared his throat before explaining cautiously, 

" My Lord, I had been doing research over the corpse for the past few days. I am sure on the fact that the young lady had died because of loosing soul power. So later I suggested Mr. Jasper to look for the vampire that had achieved the special power of sucking soul. After investigating further, we really haven't found anyone with they extraordinary power."

He paused a bit as Aaron gestured him to continue frowning hard. The healer continued lowering his head in daze, 

" We assume that ENCHANTRESS is alive and has come back again. "

Aaron exclaimed in astonishment,

" What? How could it be possible? She was killed by my father. Then.. even if she comes back, why isn't she appearing in front of me and trying to get my attention? "

The chief healer had been known as an intelligent man. He was working on this criteria for a long time and was professional. He sighed helplessly and looked up at Aaron before stating the truth,

" I guess that now she is eyeing over you, My Lord. "

Esme's face darkened as she blurted out worriedly,

" What does she want from Aaron? She had already killed his whole family."

The healer shifted his peripheral gaze on Esme and answered truthfully,

" Soul Power. Only Royal blood has the supreme powers of Vampires that could rule over the whole kingdom. Even half of the vampire members couldn't fight against a one single royal blooded vampire. Definitely she could lead over the vampire clan even she succeeds of sucking Lord's soul power."

Aaron shouted in rage,

" She dares to come back again and thinks that she can destroy my whole family once again? I would kill her before she lays her eyes over my family. Back then, I was young and powerless but now I'm not that teenage Aaron anymore, cheif healer. Inform all the ministers and tell them that ENCHANTRESS needs to be found out soon. "

The healer nodded with understanding and suggested,

" You need to ensure the security of your family members, Lord. After all she can use them as pawns. "

Aaron nodded his head blankly and spoke with understanding,

" I know, chief healer. I will send them back into safe places soon."

The healer bowed his head before going outside quickly. Esme laid her eyes on Aaron who was lost in thoughts and asked anxiously,

" You need to be safe, Aaron. Why don't you appoint more bodyguards around you? "

Aaron ignored her question and answered gazing at her concerned face deeply,

" You need to go back to the human world, love. You will be safe there. I will take you back again once I settle the matters of ENCHANTRESS. "

Esme's body turned stiff when the realization hit her head. He was sending her away just to keep her safe and sound? Then what about him?

Esme blinked her eyes blankly before blurting out,

" I'm not going anywhere leaving you alone. I won't mess around and will stay by your side always. But please don't send me away."

Aaron looked back at her persistent eyes and lectured angrily,

" Don't be so foolish Esme. Enchantress is far more dangerous than you can imagine. Moreover few days back, you were pleading me to see your parents. But now when am I agreeing to send you, why are you refusing?"

Aaron paused between his talks and added smiling bitterly,

" Furthermore if I die here in hands of Enchantress, you don't have to be caged here anymore. Isn't that what you wanted always? Then don't waste your time and use this rare opportunity, Esme. "

Esme's face sank alternating between pain and discomfort. She really wished to be free from this forced marriage but now why was her heart stopping her?

Why doesn't it want to leave Aaron in this critical stage?

Perhaps women were born to express their feelings through rage. Thus she appeared enlarged and cursed him viciously,

" You live or die, that has nothing to do with me, Aaron Richards. But whereas I want to go or not, that absolutely my choice. Now, I'm saying that I'm not going back to human world, it means that I won't go no matter you want or not."

Venting out her mixed feelings, she hauled up from her spot instantly and stormed outside as Aaron shouted in anger from back,

" Esme, come back here. What did you say? You are going back to human world. No one ever dare to deny my order. Come back.. you.. Esme.. turn back.."

Despite being his numerous warnings, she continued walking towards her bedroom. Aaron watched her stubborn back in disbelief. Even though he was enlarged over her denial but he didn't had the guts to hurt or scold her.

He could only gnashing his teeth and murmurs to himself,

" Indeed I have spoiled you too much. You.. you dare to backwards me."

He hissed under his breath angrily and said,

" But the worst part is that I can't even scold you now. You have bewitched me. uggh!"
