JAJOBA MOUNTAIN,

After hearing out Zave's true motive, Enchantress figured out that It would be the best idea to collaborate with Zave at this moment. She didn't had dream of achieving the throne. Her only intention was the soul power of a pure blooded vampire that could give her the chance of living for another 1000 years.

Almost everyone thought that she was dead by Aaron's father. But only she knew that how she saved her life in that night. Even though she had lost all her powers in process of fighting with King Logan aka Aaron's father,she was able to save her life because of her witch power. But she needed to cultivate more powers. Thus she waited and waited for the chance of attacking Aaron after his age reached at a certain point when his soul power would be strong. Now the day had finally come and she didn't want to waste this opportunity anyhow.

Suddenly she remembered another notable point and asked looking up at Zave,

" What about his wife? Do you know that she belongs to the fairy clan?"

Zave was astounded and blurted out,

" What? How.. how can it be possible? She.. she was kidnapped from the human world."

Enchantress smirked devilishly and snarled out,

" She is just a banned fairy from her world and all her powers had been sealed. But she has some helpers who can block our path. What are you planning to do with her? "

Zave was still in shocked before laughing out hysterically,

" King Aaron is definitely going to kill from all sides this time. Once our superior vampires get to know that he has engaged in a forbidden relationship, they will definitely ban him from our world too. As his wife had no powers, she won't be a big problem to cut off. Furthermore once she will get to know that Aaron is having jinx blood, she will definitely leave his side. Even if she doesn't, we can kill her too after finishing Aaron. Tsk.. I wish that she would have powers. Then I could have easily seized the throne revealing this dark secret to the superior vampires. But without evidence, they won't believe my words. "

Enchantress suddenly howled out in pain before pleading,

" I get it.. Give me the antidote.. Those bastards have broken my ribs too.. aah.. "

Zave frowned hard before throwing the bottle towards her and shouted out,

" Here it is.. You know what to do Enchantress. I will let you know the day of attacking Aaron. I wil have to know from the healer that which day he would loose all the powers from his body."

Enchantress nodded before opening up the bottle as her eyes flashed with killing intent.

Your death will be in my hands Aaron Richards and Esme... you will pay the price too!

She vowed inwardly after finishing the magical liquid in a gulp!

MOONSHINE CASTLE,

After dressing up into a beautiful maroon dress, Esme reached downstairs along with Aaron as they both spotted Vanessa and Queen Mother sitting together more likely a family.

Giving them a cold glare, Aaron reached to greet Mr. and Mrs Scott who were Zave's biological parents. Mr Scott appeared far more excited as his eyes wandered around the castle greedily as he couldn't believe that his son would be a royal member very soon.

On the flip side, Mrs Scott seemed like an elegant woman who remained calm and nonchalant as if she was nonbothered about the event. But deep down, she was cunning and wise woman who knew how to behave according to situation. Probably Zave had inherited all his evil tricks from his mother.

She threw silent warning to her husband who appeared far more excited and warned him to behave. The man had lowered down his eyes after the warn and tried to behave elegant.

Aaron spoke faking a smile and introduced politely,

" Welcome to our home, Mr and Mrs. Scott. This is my wife, Esme. You probably haven't seen her yet."

Esme greeted politely gesturing them to sit down,

" Hello. Please sit down. We are family. No need to be formal."

Mr Scott replied impatiently,

" Yes.. Yes.. We are family.. "

Mrs Scott pinched his arms gently and smiled at them awkwardly. After they all sat down, Queen Mother gestured the maids to server the snacks as they started chatting randomly.

Mr Scott couldn't hold back the excitement in his tone every time he realised that he was sitting among the royal family.

As the conversation continued further, Aaron suddenly asked out,

" Where's Zave? Why didn't he come?"

RIVERGREEN VALLEY,

After giving Siemus the harsh warning, Ethan drove her away to take Athena here as soon as possible.

For a safe place, he chose the backside of RIVERGREEN Valley and thought of meeting Ayra on the way to his world.

He stood still over the edge of the mountain as his eyes stuck on the dark clouds which were circulating on the sky. The weather turned messy all of sudden as the cold wind continued passing abruptly around the valley.

A part of the sky sometimes lightened up with the thunderstroks without any sound as he examined the chaos over the sky deeply. It seemed like rain would be arriving soon but he didn't care. He needed to know his answer anyhow.

Shortly after, his wait had finally come to an end as Siemus landed down bringing Athena on her birdy back.

Athena seemed enlarged as she had a terrible fight with Siemus before coming here. She didn't want to meet Ethan anymore but Siemus wasn't listening to her today. She repeatedly begged Athena to come and meet Ethan here.

Ethan turned around and welcomed her with a faint smile. Instantly her earlier anger had faded away as soon as her eyes met him. She couldn't help but smile back bitterly before walking ahead.

On the contrary, Siemus decided to stay away as she knew that they needed private space to talk openly.

Athena stopped coming in front of him and asked abruptly,

" You.. you wanted to meet me? Is there anything urgent that you want from me?"

Ethan felt a little sad on her words and shook his head denying. He hesitated for a bit before jumping on the straight-line as he promised Siemus to take a little time,

" Athena.. do you have anything to say to me about your past? "

Athena froze instantly before looking up at him astounded.

Did he figure out everything?

Shaking her head blankly, she answered muttering on her words,

" N... No.. I mean.. not now.."

Ethan asked feeling deeply concerned on her pale face,

" Why not now, Athena? You have already marked me and we are bound to live together for our entire life. I deserve to know about you."

Athena sutured hiding her gaze,

" No.. Ethan.. it won't be possible.. We should stop here. We.. we really can't.."

Ethan was furious over her constant denial as he suddenly clutched her palms,

" Why don't you just tell me, what's your problem? You clearly accept me when I touch you but you aren't ready to be mine for eternity. Do you take me as your tool of pleasure?"

Athena squeezed her eyes shut holding back her sobbing as she trembled vigorously. Each of his allegations were true but it cut through her heart terribly.

When he didn't receive any response, Ethan had turned more furious. Grabbing her chin with one of his hand, he forced her to look through his eyes shouting,

" Look at me when I'm talking to you, Athena.. Look at...."

His words were interrupted as soon as their eyes met, his subconscious mind commanded his powers to see through her past life.

One by one those visions started replaying in front of his sight as his whole body remained frozen.

From the first day of Edward and Athena's meeting, their secret marriage, every vision came in front of his sight one by one. This time, it wasn't blurr or dark but clear as his willpower was strong.

A few moments had passed by without uttering a single word as the sky thundered loudly. The wind was passing through their bodies so speedily that Athena was struggling to keep her eyes open.

She didn't know what was Ethan seeing through her eyes but subconsciously her mind was having bad feelings about everything..

A moment later, Ethan staggered backwards leaving her palm in disbelief. He kept staring at Athena disbelievingly as his eyes struggled with those teardrops hardly.

Athena wanted to hold him but Ethan silently gestured her to stop over there. Athena didn't know what had happened with him suddenly as she panicked.

When she parted open her lips to speak something, Ethan's vulnerable body suddenly knelt down on the ground weakly.

The first raindrop from the sky started pouring down from the sky above as it fell over his crumpled body gently.

Both of them remained frozen and unmoved as Athena didn't know how to reach him.

Soon after, the rain started falling drastically as if it was feeling the pain of his broken heart that had been just sliced into pieces.

Looking up at her perturbed face, those tears from his eyes finally fell down along with those raindrops following down on the muddy floor. He managed to say one last word which was enough to stab Athena's heart,

" A.. A.. Athena.. Richards..."
