BXBX NOVEL Chapter 231 - Reconcile?
Aaron turned and looked utterly shocked about the information which just he received from his so called mother. Queen Mother who noticed the change on Aaron's expression was delighted immediately. With her face faking emotions, she quickly slipped in the role of a concerned parent,
" Aaron, believe me your mother this time! Just once! She is no good for you or our family. A fairy can't be never good to Vampire Clan. I am still dissapointed on you over the matter that you have permitted Athena to live in Dalastia. You shouldn't have done this without listening to me. After all, I am your mother and know the best for you."
Aaron didn't pay much attention on the rest of her words. His brain started to gather up all the symptoms, signs that Esme had given him in the last. Many times, she tried to inform him something but somehow it was interrupted. His expression worsened when the vision of strangling her inside the study flashed across his mind like a nightmare.
His own legs started to loose weight. Everytime she tried to get his helping hand, he didn't pay attention and sometimes rudely declined. Queen Mother who was lost in happiness thought that Aaron was finally dissapointed on Esme.
Just when she boldly wanted to suggest regarding Vanessa's forgiveness, she heard him saying hoarsely,
" Mother, you never change exactly! "
Queen Mother was stunned before furrowing her brows deeply. Before she could ask out more, Aaron swallowed down his bitter saliva and continued looking up at her coldly,
" Do you think that I, as her husband wouldn't have found it out if she did really give birth to a child before our marriage?"
Queen Mother's face immediately turned black in embarrassment. Her lips pursued together but couldn't figure out any reasonable response to give him back. How naively she thought that this could bring misunderstanding between them! Instead it had brought another grudges between them. She just represented herself as a bitchy mother-in-law who intentionally tried to create bridges between them.
She panicked and turned her tongue while trying to coax Aaron with her lies,
" Son!.. It's not that serious..I just happened to hear this random rumours..I.. thought..I thought..."
Aaron snorted out coldly,
" What did you think, mother? You thought that I will believe in your words blindly and ask Athena to come back in rage. When will you understand that your children have grown up and you should no longer interfere in their personal matters?"
Queen Mother retorted grinding her teeth together,
" Because I am your mother and know more than you."
Aaron who went mad in rage finally spouted out the long buried truth,
" YOU AREN'T MY MOTHER! "
Queen Mother froze in her spot and looked up at him blankly. Her momentum turned so horrified that she forgot to breath. After so many years, Aaron finally opened up his mouth to show her position. Aaron continued looking up at her harshly,
" If you were my mother, you could have seen that how much I am dying without her instead of going around and try to figure out rumours to create wedges between us. Let me tell you something more! Don't even try to meddle in Athena's life! You chose your favourite Zave for her but it turned out that he is just a jerk who was secretly trying to destroy our family. After I find Esme, I will settle down every scores of us. Meanwhile you aren't allowed to step out of Moonshine. This is my last warning to you! "
After giving his final words, Aaron turned around and left the hallway hastily. Queen Mother fell off on her knees behind his retreating back silently.
Everything was finished! Everything! Aaron no longer listens to her blindly!
••• WHITE CASTLE, DALASTIA •••
It was early in the morning when Birds chirped under the first ray of sunlight. No one slept properly due to the Coronation Ceremonies last night thus most of them were still sleeping to relive their exhausted strength except two people who just finished their bed times activities.
Inside Athena's room, she was being eaten by a big bad wolf mercilessly for two hours. After numerous tossing and turning over the bed, he let her go finally. Two bodies laid down together in each others arms peacefully.
Athena was still in muddleheaded state. She didn't know how did they become so harmonious. As people said always that every quarrel happened to end up in bed. Athena was lying on his bare chest and was drawing circles absentmindedly on his white smooth skin. She was naked completely but the backside of her was covered with a thick blanket slightly.
No one didn't speak as if they were having their peace of mind finally in each others arms. Moments later, Ethan finally laughed lightly breaking off the awkward silence,
" So are we together now, finally? "
Athena blushed hard at his question. After so tossing and turning, how could she say that they hadn't been reconciled? Besides, the man had played tricks during their activities. He sweared numerous times confessing that how much he loved her deeply. More than that he sincerely admitted that he was true with her feelings and wanted to get married with her soon. More to mention that he added her daughter inside it cunningly. He said that if they got married, they could give her a complete family.
Athena huffed angrily and mumbled,
" What about your unborn child then? Are you going to give her step-mother before he borns? "
Ethan's expression turned stormy. He gritted his teeth harder and emphasized his words,
" That isn't my child..How many times that I have told you.. he..."
Athena laughed lightly at his anger and coaxed running her fingers through his bare chest,
" Calm down! I was kidding! I believe in you."
Ethan heavied a sigh of relief after her words and was delighted. Patting on her back gently, he boasted shamelessly,
" Umm! You know that I don't have such worst eyesight."
Athena laughed harder and commented pinching on his waistline,
" Shameless! "
Ethan grinned before suddenly turning serious. His eyes darkened in anger as he spoke with a helpless sigh,
" But how longer I have to wait to prove my innocene Athena? The healer said that It can't be proven until the child is born."
Athena could sense the helplessness behind his voice. Her heart also ached painfully when Katherine accused that Ethan had impregnated her. Her thoughts started to gather all the learnings that she had received in her learning years.
After a moment of silence, she suddenly jumped off from his chest. Her blanket slipped down and revealed her completely exposed body in his sight. She had no ounch of clothes on her body. Ethan swallowed hard again and felt a heat radiating out from his lower abdomen.
Athena smacked on his hands playfully to divert his attention from her breasts and inquired impatiently,
" Ethan..Tell me which elements on earth that you can control with your powers?"
Ethan frowned seating up and asked back curiously,
" Why? I and Esme can control fire,airs skillfully."
Athena hummed softly and requested lifting up her sparkling eyes,
" Can I feel your inner powers if you permit? "
Ethan chuckled getting closer towards her and said shamelessly,
" Sure! I am all yours! You can feel my inner power,lower powers everything that you want, sweetheart."
Athena glared at him hardly and warned while running her hands from his neck to his lower abdomen,
" Be serious! I am trying to figure out something! May be I can help you getting rid of this problem easily."
Ethan mumbled unhappily,
" Aiyah! I would have loved to follow the alternative way."
Athena shook her head helplessly at his flirting skills. Once they reconciled, he forgot to pay attention on his image anymore. God knows, how many nasty words that he said during their intercourse! Sometimes she had to open up her eyes forcefully to ensure that he was the big mighty king of Dalastia or not!
Athena unleashed her healing powers completely. In her vision, she could see the flickers of fires underneath his skin. Her lips quirked up in admiration as she asked back again,
" Except you two, does anyone have this powers?"
Ethan answered truthfully,
" I had heard from my mother that except the two of us, no one have this powers. She said that we absorbed this powers from our father Henry."
Athena smiled cheekily,
" Perfect! "
Withdrawing her hand from him, she teased playfully,
" Woah! Now I am afraid that king Ethan will burn me into ashes with this fireballs easily."
Ethan was happy at their peaceful moment. He flirted back lowering his head towards her a little,
" Mmm! You have more horrible weapon than me to kill me off easily."
Athena frowned curiously and asked,
" What is it? I don't have so many especial powers like you."
Ethan who was good mood commented eyeing on her naked body hungrily,
" Your beauty! "
Athena turned red in embarrassment and slapped on his arms hardly this time. Putting on the blanket around her body, she commented with a hint of jealousy,
" Huh! You don't lack beauties here, I can see that."
Ethan wanted to flirt again shamelessly but at that time, the door was knocked hastily. Ethan frowned, got down and walked over to open the door indifferently. Athena couldn't manage to put on her clothes thus she remained wrapping around the blanket tightly.
As the door was pushed open by Ethan, Katherine's enraged face had come in their sight. Ethan narrowed his gaze dangerously and asked,
" What are you doing here? "
Katherine didn't respond to his question. She glared back at Athena hatefully and roared,
" Bitch, you are trying to seduce my man. No wonder, you came in Dalastia to become his concubine."
Ethan wanted to retort but held back when he heard Athena's laughter. Athena wrapped the blanket around her body more tightly and walked over to the doorway slowly. Standing behind Ethan, she mocked on furious Katherine,
" Concubine? Sorry! Woman like you has born to become concubine but Athena has born to become a queen only. Don't underestimate your status, girl."
