The room was in quite silence more like a midnight street that had turned an empty shell and a horrible atmosphere without having no noises. Except the sloppy kissing sound and a low whimpering moans, nothing couldn't be heard in the amidst of darkness.

Esme's tears kept falling down like a stream of water who didn't know how to stop. The exact reason behind her tears wasn't clear in her head as she felt so many mixed emotions. She hated her dominant behaviour but at the same way couldn't bear to disgust him. When did this man occupy so much space of her heart, she didn't know or never understood.

Comparing to his earlier kissing, this one felt different to her as if he was expressing his inner joy through this lingering kiss. His hands were rested over her head in an overbearing way as he caged her sinful tongue into its embrace. Occasionally his fingers brushed inside her hairs roughly following on with a little bit torture on her lips than usual.

Aaron was happy and sad at the same time that he didn't know how to console his emotions. He was only one step away from achieving his aim but something was holding his back firmly. He knew that they he could do everything to her now and end this forbidden game that he started.

But some unknown force was holding him to complete his task and burnt his soul everyday with this thoughts of killing her.

Didn't he vow to kill her? Who's stopping him? He could break this woman into pieces now. Because he knew... he knew that she had devoted her life for him now and could go to any extent to save him.

But why does he feel that in process of breaking her, he will end up getting broken far more than her?

He couldn't ignore this feelings nor did he could wash it away like dust ! He could only submit to this feelings that had no control!

As the kissing turned slowly and soft, they both heard an urging tone of Jasper coming out from the outdoor,

" Lord, they have started their journey to reach the castle. You need to hurry up."

They broke the kiss finally as Esme fell in daze. Wiping off her fallen tears from her cheeks gently, Aaron answered loudly,

" Coming, Jasper. Tell the guards to lead them from the entrance. Inform mother to get ready fast. "

Tidying his messy clothes, he helped her to get up and urged to get ready for the feast.

JAJOBA MOUNTAIN,

Enchantress lifted up her pitiful face to decipher his thoughts and found that man was already smirking at her way dangerously. From that evil smirk, she could assume that this vampire wasn't any good human being.

Considering about her pitiful state, she thought of hearing him out once as she murmured crumpling on the dusty ground,

" What.. deal? I don't even know you.."

Zave laughed lightly before answering briefly,

" Aaron Richards! We both have a common enemy? Aren't we?"

At the mention of Aaron who caused her to get beaten severely, Enchantress was furious and growled out,

" So you are one of the enemy of Aaron? You want to kill him too?"

Zave smirked and replied turning his head,

" Nope, you want power and I want throne. In considering of our mutual benefits, I can only help you to finish him off. In return, I want nothing else. His death would be my new beginning. "

Enchantress frowned hard before asking out curiously,

" How.. how will I do that? He is always surrounded by powerful people."

Zave's face beamed in happiness before revealing the dark secret,

" Come on! Did you become dumb after hiding for a few years? Did you forget about the bite that you gave him when he was 7 days old?"

Enchantress sank into deep thoughts researching through her memories before her face turned astounded. She didn't believe herself that she forgot the most important thing about him.

Now she understood that why Aaron fell under her spell so easily back then Only because he was already turning weak and powerless.

Smiling sinfully, Enchantress spoke looking up at his silhouette,

" So his blood is still poisonous and will be killing him soon?"

Zave smiled and replied while looking away to the riverside,

" That's right. He will become more powerless to fight against you soon. Then you can suck his soul power on that day and kill him instantly. It's the only favour that I can ask you. In return, I will give you an antidote of recovering too fast."

Enchantress laughed hysterically before asking somewhat curiously,

" But how did he survive so far? Didn't he find any antidote of curing himself? "

Zave walked ahead to her lying figure and replied coldly,

" No. I got to know from the world famous healer that nothing can cure a jinx blood. It will slowly kill his cells and push him towards a horrible death. From the perspective of healer, he confirmed that there is no antidote. So rest assured that he won't recover ever and is just waiting to die in your hand, Enchantress. "

Enchantress giggled manically and huffed with proud,

" Those Richards family only deserves to die. They are our sworn enemies and will always be. His mother was a pure slut who dared to deceive our clan and married a vampire. We can never forget that humiliation that she brought to our clan. At least, I have done a holly work to bite that bastard back then. I already predicted that he would be a powerful hybrid vampire."

Zave smirked mischievously and replied,

" That's your concern. All I want is that

throne. "

THE BARRIER OF VAMPIRE

WORLD,

Ethan was still waiting for Siemus to appear out in here as he paced back and forth. He believed that Siemus would definitely meet him now or later. Still he waited and he couldn't wait to know the truth of Athena's life.

After an unknown amount of time, he heard a snarling voice of Eagle coming down from the giant sky above. He exhaled a sigh of relief before seeing the Eagle landing down over the grassy field.

In no time, she changed her form into a woman before giving him a bow of apologise,

" Pardon my behaviour, Prince.."

She muttered softly,

" I.. I was stuck.."

After Athena went down to handle some tasks regarding the kingdom, Siemus finally found a way to escape from her grip. This was in the instinct of Raibon vampire that they could never disobey their master's command no matter what situation they were. For that reason, she couldn't possibly turn a deaf ear to Ethan's command repeatedly.

Perhaps Ethan saw through her guilt thus he didn't pursue this matter anymore. Instead he asked impatiently,

" Siemus, take me to your Lady now. I have to meet her as soon as possible."

Siemus could see his anxiousness and didn't understand how to answer him now. On the contrary, Athena had already warned her that she didn't wish to meet Ethan ever as they were going to fix her marriage tonight.

Swallowing down her saliva, Siemus replied lowering her gaze slowly,

" I.. I can't Prince. She is very busy today and doesn't wish to meet anyone."

Ethan's face sank before asking out impatiently,

" I won't take a lot of time, Siemus. I just want to confirm my assumption. I won't interrupt her for a long time,I swear. But try to understand that it's very urgent to meet her now or else.. I.. I would never.. know.. about those visions.."

Siemus's face sank in deep thoughts as she asked somehow in a shaking tone,

" What... what visions.. Prince.. "

Ethan turned around and muttered absentmindedly,

" I.. I don't know Siemus.. she.. was crying hard in that vision.. some.. burning fires.. I don't understand what was that all about.."

Siemus gasped in a low voice staggering backwards. Her face turned grim in fear before asking out suspiciously,

" What.. what more did you see? "

Ethan was too devastated in reminding those visions. Thus he didn't see the abnormalities on Siemus's face and whispered,

" I couldn't see everything clearly. It was blurry and dark..."

Siemus exhaled a deep breath speaking out,

" You.. you can meet her later.. we can't step in the sasha Palace now.."

Ethan didn't had the intention of hearing her out much. Thus he responded in a thunder tone,

" No, Siemus. I have to meet her now. If we can't meet her now, then bring her somewhere else. But I must see her today. "

Siemus wanted to protest as she parted open her lips slowly,

" But...Prince..."

Ethan shouted back and used his authority for the first time on Siemus,

" No.. But.. Siemus.. Bring her over to me and this is my command to you as master. Now find a safe location to talk."

At the end, Siemus was stuck between this two lovers and didn't know what to do. Nodding her head slightly, she finally decided that now they should both know the truth even if the consequences could be terrible.
