The air had turned stiff filled with so much awkward silence that was enough to suffocate anyone to death. Even Ayra couldn't pull away her curious eyes from Ron who just had announced himself as her father. At least her brain could calculate the meanings behind his statement that made her heart joy and curious at the same time.
Didn't her mother once say that her father was dead? Then how come Ron turn out to be her biological father?
Her tiny brain didn't figure out this oblivious questions that was arising in her entire mind. On the other side, Anna remained frozen in her spot as she even forgot to blink after hearing out his shocking statement. But for no reason, her heart was in discomfort after hearing out Ron's statement that she couldn't deny.
Did she bore any feelings towards him? No.. No.. This seems impossible.. How can she carry this absorb thoughts?
Clutching the hem of her floral gown, she stared ahead and waited for anyone to talk and break this silence. Even Ethan had long forgotten his words and glanced at Ron questioningly.
Ron glanced back at Ethan assuringly expressed that he had taken this decision knowingly and was ready for any outcome. Ethan was overwhelmed at his generous and felt a lot of gratitude for Ron who really proved that he cared for Esme genuinely after taking this blame. Eventually Ethan was ready anytime to declare the statement that Ayra was his biological daughter. But the fact that Esme had long been fulfilling as a duty of mother to Ayra, he couldn't speak up those words to create another shameful rumours. Thus he was feeling completely helpless against Siemus's question and remained quite.Lucky Ron was there to save their precious baby girl's reputation from this chaos.
Looking up at Siemus's stunned face, Ron inquired frowning hard,
" Now, do you have anymore objections? Or you are planning to report to the Lord? Go ahead. I don't care about his punishment. Ron Warren was never been ruled by anyone nor did he fear of angering the Lord."
Siemus lowered down her gaze in dilemma and still found something fishy that she couldn't figure out. But Ron had already accepted Ayra as his biological daughter thus she had no intention of poking her nose in their personal affairs. Somehow Siemus felt sorry for Aaron that if this was the real truth, he had been cheated by Esme badly.
Bowing her head down to Ethan, Siemus stated in a apologising tone,
" Please forgive my behaviour prince Ethan. I was just being too curious. In that case, I have nothing to say here nor did I wish to report the Lord. We have already harmed you enough thus we can't bear to do anything more. But I must warn you that please settle this matters privately soon before Lord Aaron finds it out on his own. "
Ethan averted his eyes from her and replied disdainfully,
" I understand everything. Now you know why do I want to bring back my sister from that devilish Lord as soon as possible. She has her own family awaiting here. If she doesn't love him, there is no way I will allow your Lord to cage her there at any cost."
Siemus sighed before nodding comprehensively. Looking up at Ethan, she spoke sincerely before leaving the spot,
" If you need our help with anything, please let me know Prince. Princess is ready to repay with anything. Furthermore she won't disturb you anymore as she will be getting married to a prominent member of our clan soon. Take care of yourself and keep the baby safe. Don't let the vampires find it out or else she won't be alive for a single day. "
Ethan was frozen in his spot as he saw Siemus leaving stretching out her eagle wings blankly.
Athena was getting married?? When?
BLACK LAKE,
Jasper was horrified after watching Aaron's bruise covered body that brought invisible tears in his eyes. Stretching out his hand hurriedly, Jasper helped him to pull out from the water before settling him down on the muddy ground.
Aaron panted as his eyelids turned heavy and struggled hard to keep his breathing steady. The pain was too hard to endure but he willingly endured at the moment he realised that Esme still needed him now.
Struggling hard to get up, Aaron ordered Jasper hastily,
" Take me back to the castle now. Before dawn, I have to cure her or else it will be too late."
Jasper sighed speaking pitifully,
" Will Lady ever know that you have sacrificed so much for her? When she wakes up, I will definitely tell her to take care of you so well. Perhaps she won't leave you ever after considering everything. "
Aaron lowered his head down and answered smiling bitterly,
" I don't want her to sympathise me, Jasper. If she knows it, perhaps she will stay not because she loves me too much. The reason will only be that I have saved her life and she owes me a lot. I don't want her sympathy. I want her willingly by my side."
Jasper kept staring at his face blankly and reminded the day that this man proudly said that he would definitely kill her. But today, he was witnessing the exact opposite sight. This man, who had frightened the whole world just by giving a single glance, he was fearing of loosing a woman and had pushed his life towards death.
Can love make people so vulnerable?
Jasper wanted to remind him about his scars but watching his determined face, he gave up eventually and headed for the castle spreading out his wings while carrying Aaron.
Soon after, they arrived at the rooftop and landed down safely without being notified. Jasper strode downstairs fast to observe everyone and found that everyone had gone back to their respective rooms including the guests. As Aaron usually attended many events at nighttime, no one bothered to look for him after not seeing him nearby.
Jasper gestured him to land down as he reached in front of the doorstep in a moment using his unique speed of movement. Jasper also followed him from behind in case he faints midway. After parting open the door partially, Aaron was stunned for a moment as he recalled the mess before their marking procedure.
Looking over the body, he saw his woman lying half naked under the blanket just as the same way as he left her before heading for the black lake. Thus he assumed that she hadn't woken up till now.The floor had their torn clothes falling down here and there like trash as he quickly stopped Jasper from entering.
Jasper frowned in displeasure and stated firmly,
" Lord, you have already done what you have done. Why are you still preventing me from taking care of you? Even Lady is still unconscious. Who will take care of you? No.I'm not going to listen you anymore. I'm staying with you.
Aaron hissed before pinching between his temples annoyingly.
Can this man ever use half of his common sense that it wasn't convenient to enter a couple's room at midnight?
He glanced back at Jasper and saw his determined face silently for a while. Pushing him a step back, Aaron spoke with deeper meanings,
" You don't want to see what belongs to exclusively mine, do you?"
Jasper "...."
Jasper remained frozen as he saw his lord slamming the door hard over his face mercilessly. He shed a bucket of invisible tears and mumbled while staying outside of the door,
" I just didn't know that you have become so perverted. Fine Fine, I will just stay here on my own but I'm not leaving you."
After closing the door gently, Aaron walked over the bedside before plopping down gently. The lights was still circulating her body as he checked her pulse rate that was beating lowly.
Without wasting no more times, he first wiped his body before putting on a fresh cloth to avoid her suspension. Coming back to her side, he gently lifted up her upper body before stuffing the glistening herb into her mouth cautiously.
As the herb successfully slipped down through her tongue towards her stomach, he gave a sigh of relief before putting her back on the pillow gently.
Her face seemed so pure and innocent as if she was in deep sleep and didn't bother by his single movement. His eyes kept staring at her face without blinking as his expression turned hopeful.
Very soon, he noticed her lips quivering slightly as his eyes lit up happily. The next moment, the sleeping beauty finally opened her eyes abruptly and called out murmuring softly,
" Aaaroonn..."
Aaron laughed out bitterly before leaning against her forehead and consoled abruptly as his voice turned out shaky,
" I'm here.. I'm here.. You are awake.. you are awake.. You didn't leave me, Esme.."
Esme vaguely heard his words but didn't understand what had happened in this short time after their marking. Just as she wanted to inquire him more, her eyes were flashed with astonishment.
She quickly touched his forehead and sutured worriedly,
