Esme stared back at them deeply and couldn't understand why the guardsman seemed unfamiliar in her vision. Their appearance were rather too frightening than any usual staffs who used to work under the guidance of Jasper. Their beasty gaze were already sucking her blood drops invisibly as if they couldn't wait to bite off her neck.

On the other side, heavy footsteps penetrated over the dusty marble floor of prison area. The prisoners were all alarmed as soon as his dominic presence engulfed the environment deeply.Walking through the narrow pathway leading towards the confinement room, Aaron's gaze were filled with remorse as if he was suppressing his inner emotions hardly.

Without gazing around, he continued walking like a proud king who had invisible crown over his head timidly. The prisoners shrieked at a corner after spotting his presence and didn't dare to breath heavily. His face was too frightening to watch out when he remained calm in outside.

His hesitant footsteps finally travelled into the ground pathway slowly. The lambs were hanging in the wall as it lit up the entire stairs to give him an evident view. As his gaze shifted over the half opened doorway, he narrowed his gaze untill a faint whispers came out from the darkroom.

Taking large strides over the doorway, he hurriedly pulled open the door before turning frozen instantly. His falconic gaze fell over the two thirsty guards who was approaching towards Esme slowly. Exhaling a surprised grasp, he roared holding the door knob loudly,

" What are you doing to her? Who let you come in?"

The guards were startled before looking behind including Queen Mother who was enjoying the show standing at a corner. Esme gazed up at him blankly feeling happy and sad at the same time.

The guards immediately moved in a corner and hung their head downs fearfully. While trembling vigorously, one of them sutured abruptly,

" My..my..Lord..we..we..were following the rules only.."

Aaron's face tightened hard as he took large steps ahead of them like a predator. Taking a while, he finally spotted the main influencer at a corner and blurted out surprisingly,

" Mother...how on earth you are here? Did you bring this two guards over Esme?"

At that moment, Queen Mother was in terrible state as if the sky had broken down over her head in a blink. She never expected that Aaron would make a sudden appearance in the confinement room. Shaking her head vigorously, she tried to make her answer reasonable,

" No,..Son..You..you are misunderstanding my intentions.. I..I thought that everyone should follow the rules of confinement."

She paused watching his face turning darker eventually and resumed looking down,

" I..I was making sure that every rule should be followed."

Aaron let out a disbelief gasp as he inquired looking at her guilty face sternly,

" From When did you have started taking concerned about confinement room? May I know that did I appoint you for that?"

Queen Mother's expression sank in embarrassment as Aaron was questioning about her status in front of some mere guards for the sake of this nasty slut.Compiled herself with self esteem, Queen Mother responded proudly,

" I am the queen mother of this castle. I can choose the right however I want."

Aaron curled his lips into a beautiful arch dangerously making the woman swallowing hard as she knew that she wouldn't have said something like that.

But her correction remained unspoken as Aaron looked up at her face sternly and spitted out each words threateningly,

" The title of Queen Mother that you have achieved only because of me, mother. I think that you are overworking this days. How about I give you vacation?"

Queen Mother was stunned before looking up at him blankly resounding abrupt,

" What.. what..do you mean by that?"

Darkening his gaze, Aaron crossed his arms behind and declared firmly,

" From today onwards, you are no longer the Queen Mother of our clan. I, as the king of vampires am banishing you from this position."

Queen Mother was awestruck before shouting out hysterically,

" Aaron.. you can't do this to me.. I have just come to teach her some lesson for your sake. She had overstepped her boundaries."

" Sshhh!!!", Aaron hushed lowly waving his hands up and took a beasty step towards the enlarged Queen Mother.

Standing in front of her trembling figure, he let out a sly smirk before spitting out lowly,

" No one can hurt her except me."

He spoke watching his mother turning grim in rage as if she would start battling just right away. Glancing back to the guards who dared to ogle at his wife, Aaron's expression turned stormy darkar than summer clouds.

Furrowing his eyebrows, he shouted so loudly that it felt like the entire castle had trembled a bit,

" Jasper !!!"

As soon as his words reached outdoor, Jasper trembled from the corridor before rushing over his side with his inhuman speed in a blink.

Panting desperatly, Jasper sutured hanging his head down to the ground nearly,

" My Lord,any order?"

Aaron took a large stride on his way and suddenly kicked out on his stomach hardly. Being unprepared, Jasper dodged before backing up and flew at a corner with a thrash sound.

Coughing vigorously, he looked up at Aaron who stood still like a devil king and heard his enlarged voice thundering around the room,

" I just should have cut off your head. I warned you several times that no one should hurt her,still some intruders came into the room to disobey me? Why do I keep a trash like you?"

Jasper coughed before hauling up from the ground gripping on his stomach. Watching the unexpected intruders present inside the room, Jasper was stunned before looking at Esme's way who seemed unharmed.

Letting out a sigh of relief,he heard Aaron's vicious tongue once again bouncing against the tough walls,

" Pull out each of their eyes and make sure that they can never see in this life again."

Pausing between his words, he inspected queen mother from the corner of his eyes indecisivly and continued,

" Then see your queen mother off to her room. From today onwards, she can't join any tribal matters regarding our kingdom."

The gaurds howled instantly before falling down on his knees for forgiveness. Aaron skillfully kicked them off far away where Jasper led the queen mother outside.

After their leave, the two of them were left in the stiff room alone. Watching the man who appeared just in time to save her, Esme's heart melted like water as her eyes filled with tears involuntarily.

Without uttering a single word, Aaron walked over to her tied body and inched closer expressionlessly.

Esme blinked with her tearful eyes and muttured like a whisper,

" Why did you come? Didn't you leave me to reflect myself?"

Aaron didn't answer her instead kept unfolding the ropes sealing his lips together. A little while later, his cold words echoed in her ears lowly,

" I am letting you out so that I can punish you personally."

Esme smiled faintly while her wrists were unbinded and the rope around her body was removed slowly. As the man inched closer engulfing his familiar body fragrance, Esme mumbled filling her vision tuning blurry,

" I..I.. thought that you missed me.."

She mumbled before collapsing unconsciously. Aaron was fast enough to grab her body as he shouted patting on her cheeks,

" Esme..Esme..open up your eyes..Esme.. Esme.."

His expression turned serious in worrisome as he called out loudly ,

" Guards! Call the healer now."

_SASHA PALACE_

After hearing out the repayment from Ethan's mouth, Athena was frozen in her spot as if the time had stopped moving.

Looking through his deep hypnotized eyes, she felt herself floating in the cloudland of dreames.

Since what plan this man was holding now?

A little taken back, Athena inquired raising up her brows questioningly,

" Are you drunk? But there's no smell on your body."

Ethan "..."

Wanting to correct her words, Ethan opened up his mouth to say something but Athena continued mumbling and inspecting him suspiciously,

" Umm..I should call Siemus to check on your health. You must have feeling drunk or something else.. I should..call.."

Before she could slip out from his cage, Ethan suddenly lifted up his left hand and knocked her head hardly.

Before Athena could think further, she fainted letting out a surprising scream and collapsed into his embrace gingerly.

Feeling little regretful for what had he done, Ethan mumbled picking her up in his arms preciously,

" Better you speak less and listen to me. Such a mood spoiler."

Putting her unconscious body over the bed, he frowned a little looking down at her beaming face. Giving a light peck on her lips, he whispered deeply,

" Sorry!"

AUTHORS NOTE: A few instructions for the readers from me.

£ Don't start guiding me that how should I write down the story or not. I know better than you that how should I keep holding the flow of my story.

£ Don't pester the author to complete the story because I know when to end. You can't expect me to write all the plots in a chapter when I have still loopholes to solve inside the story. Starting from Enchantress, Ethan's coronation, Ester's ending, Esme's acceptaion , there are still twists to explain.

€ Lastly read the top books here and you will know how many chapters they have or they write usually. Don't spoil the fun of the story without reading till the end. If you are still bothered, drop the book and find something else to read.

ANNOUNCEMENT : It's final that I will start the sequel of Ayra's life from this book with a new volume soon after with a new title " LOVED BY A DEMON KING". I can assure you that it will be a new journey with spicy romance and completely different from previous part. Hehehe..
