RECOMMENDED SONG: In The Name Of Love By Martin Garrix ~🖤

Athena shouted from the top of her lungs almost brusting out Ethan's eardrums nearly. Her red eyes were slightly dialeted wide in anger. Her one hand supported her lacy bra over her chest whilst the other hand downwards abruptly where she was struggling to pull down her blackish gown. She was completely an embarrassed state that made her cheeks burning in shame without doing anything.

Even Ethan was awestruck after watching such view of her and couldn't help but admiring her curves for a while. His oceanic eyes fell on her exposed chest that made his throat drying subconsciously. He could feel his little member hardened at her sight.

Since when did he become so perverted creature?

For a certain moment, Ethan had forgotten to turn around but the woman continued shouting desperately. Nevertheless, he stepped forward, turned around and stood after closing off the door.

Athena was fuming in anger as she hastily pulled back her gown and stomped on his way way angrily. Turning the man around, she roared beastly,

" Have you lost your mind? Don't you know a little manner? How can you enter in someone's room without knocking?"

Ethan was clam for a while. Intially he thought of saying sorry but the sight of Athena's enraged face made him quite happy. He dismissed the first idea and chose to answer cheekily,

" Aanhh..Why are you making so fuss? It is not my first time to see you naked anyways. Furthermore your bottom part was still covered. I haven't seen much."

Athena gasped rolling her eyes back sarcastically and made a sudden comment,

" What? Are you regretting that my bottom part was covered?"

She spoke out of thoughts and looked up at him jokingly. Ethan furrowed exhaling deeply and whispered back after leaning towards her a little,

" How can you read my thoughts without saying? I am so impressed! "

Athena "...."

Her cheeks once again bleeded and now she finally understood that his flirting skills had skilled enough during her absence.

Why? Was he pursuing any other girl?

Dodging his flirting skillfully, she snickered coldly after crossing her arms over her chest,

" You are forgetting that we have broken up already, Ethan. There is nothing between us except strangers."

Ethan's expression dropped as soon as she mentioned about their break up. He knew very well that they had ended their relationship long back. But the moment, he saw her face again on Vampire world, the barrier that he created around him instantly broke down. Furthermore when he saw her fingers without any ring,this gave him an unknown hope which couldn't be described in words. All he wanted to trap her beside him even if it required any silly tricks. Athena had made him something that he never wanted to be. To be in love was something unnecessary in his entire life until she showed up. She was like a shining light in his life. No matter how many covers he put on her, her brightness still invaded outside and crawled into his heart every time.

Athena paused between her words abruptly when she caught the light flickering danger behind his eyes. She immediately regretted for provoking him boldly and wanted to divert the topic. But the very next moment, her slender waist was pulled up by him harshly. She gasped being pressed against his firm chest hardly. Her breathing was ragged as she looked through his deeply infuriated eyes.

After caging the woman in his arms, Ethan emphasized each words threateningly,

" Where.. is your engagement ring?"

Athena shuddered widening her eyes apart and finally remembered that she didn't get engage tonight. In addition, she made her fiance half-dead nearly. She quickly looked away and muttured oddly,

" I..I..put it off before coming on the border.."

She lied and hoped that Ethan would believe in her words. Their journey wasn't pleasant at all. She was tired of being accused by him occasionally. Though Edward's murder had nothing to do with her, still she was the sole enemy in his eyes that something would never change. Ethan felt a stab inside his heart when he knew that she was lying. The way she shuddered under his arms, he was pretty sure of that.

Suddenly Ethan let go of her waist and looked deep through her painful eyes. After a long time, he asked like a whisper lowly,

" Do you..still..hate me? "

Athena didn't answer back of his question. She breathed heavily and replied with a bitter smile,

" Whether I hate you or not but I am the main culprit in your eyes. Talking about our relationship, I guess we share only the nominal relationship. By law, I am your brother's wife, Ethan and the mother of his child."

Ethan didn't rebuke on this matter. His blue eyes reflected her painful demeanour deeply. After a long silence, Ethan responded softly,

" Everything you said is true but talking about law of Vampires, I am your mate still. I assume that you haven't broken off our bond, Athena. How can you say that you have nothing to do with me? "

Athena was suddenly lost of her words. She had done so many griev mistakes that there was no turning back. She bite down her lower lips hardly and spouted each words coldly,

" I.. will.. definitely..break..it...off.."

Ethan kept staring at her coldly. His anger begged to come out but he kept it jacked inside him forcefully. Stepping two steps closer, Ethan warned her in a cold voice,

" Be good! Wear a beautiful dress and come out to join the coronation ceremony. I don't want my citizens telling that I haven't treated their queen fairly."

Athena glanced up at him astonishment and saw him smirking before heading outside. She shouted behind his back,

" No..I am not going anywhere..how the hell.."

She couldn't even get the chance of finishing her words.Ethan only paused for a while and spoke coldly,

" It's an order."

Before Athena could protest, the man had already left the doorway. She could only bite down her tongue enragingly.

When the two were immersed in throwing tantrums, they failed to notice Katherine who was sneaking out from the side of Athena's room. Katherine's face collapsed turning ashen as soon as she witnessed their foreplay with her own eyes.

_MOONSHINE CASTLE_

The night was longer than usual. Each moment passed like eternity to Aaron whose mind was filled with the visions of Esme's smiling face. The girl who made him feeling lively was now gone without leaving any trace.

How much she hated him exactly?

Another restless sigh escaped through his lips as he reached for another paperwork to finish off. Just at that moment, he planned to divert his attention with this paperwork, Jasper quickly rushed on the spot.

Without waiting for Aaron's approval, Jasper reported the news hastily while struggling to breath properly,

" Milord, we have found a clue of Lady. You should make your way fast."

Aaron's pupils shrank abruptly. The next moment, he only knew that a little sunlight was appearing out slowly from his cloudy sky.

_COASTEL RIVERINE, An abandoned valley of Dalastia_

Another laughter echoed in the air of Coastal disturbing the peace of night creatures. The laughter resounded so sinister that one could assume the hatred and evil aura behind the tongue.

Linda put on a stern face and radiated another lightening force in her left palm. So far she was only using half of her powers but after looking at the weak barrier, her mind was restless.

She sucked a deep breath and summoned all of her powers to mend the barrier. This time, her body couldn't endure the force and almost collapsed on the ground. Linda exhaled a painful breathing and her nose was bleeding profusely. Her fellow companion gasped at her painful sight and one of them queired worryingly,

" Linda..how..how about you stop now? We have already given enough powers."

Linda shook her head lightly and warned looking at the barrier around Enchantress,

" You.. you guys don't understand..She is exerting all of her dark powers..Our powers may not be capable enough to hold her down forever..We have to keep her grounded until Lady appears.."

Enchantress who was tied inside a fireball laughed hysterically. Her eyes boiled in anger as she sneered at Linda proudly,

" You think that you can kill me? You can kill me? NEVER....!!!! Enchantress can't be killed by anyone because there is no pure hybrid living in this world.. haha... Enchantress is immortal... immortal..."

Linda didn't bother to heed her words. She only excessed her powers more and focused on mending the barrier strongly. But the fear in her heart increased earnestly than earlier.
