Ever After- A Vampire Romance

Chapter 30

Atreo looked at Aurianna who wasn't speaking to him after the incident that had happened and he knew very well he was one to blame. He could have handled it a little better than this, he could have just talked it out rather than shouting. Now he knows he have messed up big time. This time she is not going to forgive and forget this easily.

He saw the maid came in with special blend for her. Part blood and part herbed brew as the healer suggested. His father was still very much concerned about Aurianna and on the other hand he still was searching for Angelica. Atreo too wanted to join the search but his father had forbidden him from doing so. According to him, Aurianna needed him more.

She took a sip and gagged running towards the bathroom. He was quick on his feet and helped her. After she had done washing up, he laid her towards the bed. She was getting frailer by the coming second and nothing is working. She cannot take the herbs without throwing up. He don't know what to do. Maye blood transfusions will help.

"I want to clean up. Can you leave me alone?" Another thing is she doesn't let him be close to her like before ever since he had said he doesn't want her to give birth to this child, she had retreated herself in a shell. And now she refused to let him in. This pains him to great length not able to help his sister or his mate. 

"You need assistance, you possibly cannot do it alone." She didn't looked up and said "maybe I cannot but I have to do it alone since there will be no one with me to deal with my problems in my later years. Please leave me alone."

He was now very much tired of this. He felt helpless. He knew very well that she should be happy all this time and he should be with her every step but she will not let him, not for anything. He held her arm and forced her to look at him. "I am going to help you whether you like it or not. That is my child too. It is not just yours." She covered her stomach with her hands. Her hands looked tiny in compare to her huge stomach.

"Now, it is your child? I thought you don't wish to be any part of it's life. How about you stick to your opinion Prince Atreo of Afirvan and let me take care of my daughter alone. I am very much capable of doing it." She said trying to move away. His hold tightens over her to a point that she felt the blood was being obstructed into her arm. "So, you are telling me that I shall share no part of my own offspring's life? You want her to grow fatherless?" he asked.

"You don't wish to be a father. You just wanted your toy to play with. I refuse to be that toy Prince Atreo. I refuse to let you harm my baby, my flesh and blood. I am carrying in feeling it grow in me, how would you know what a mother goes through thinking about she may never be able to hold her own child in her arms. 

How would you know that pain of thinking she may never hear that call from her child's mouth? You don't know, the pain, the suffering a woman goes through just to see that her child born healthy and she will remain healthy and happy throughout her life." She cried.

He let her go seeing a huge bruise is forming on her arm. He has no control upon his own strength. He has no control over his emotions. Or a fact that she may never understand that what is like to lose your soulmate. Because she doesn't know, she doesn't feel the bond between them. "Fine I am going to leave you alone" He said walking out angrily on her.

Aurianna knew she have crossed some limitations today. But which mother doesn't want to protect her young one? Which mother doesn't want to keep her child safe? But pushing one person who is meant for her, it doesn't suit her well. She shouldn't have done that. She shouldn't have pushed him away. But he wanted to her to terminate her pregnancy and kill her baby how can she allow that to happen on her watch? She is not heartless.

She waited for Atreo but no avail. He wasn't back. She decided to find him She needed to apologize to him. And she needed to do that now, otherwise she might not be able to forgive herself for this. She knew very well that she might not survive the childbirth and he needed her love more than anyone now. She stood up and made her way down. She knew he might be in the weapons room. Every time he is upset he takes out his anger on the poor dummies in the training room.

She walked into the weapons room and sure enough he was taking his anger out on the dummies they had installed for practice. She knew how to take out all his anger as soon as his sword was about to make contact with the surface of the dummy it clashed with another one. Atreo pulled back in surprise. And then he looked at his wife who was also carrying a sword in her hand.

"Why are you here?" He asked trying to continue as she countered him again. "You should be resting, not fighting." He said as she match blow for blow even in her weaken state her spirits remained unharmed. Telling him more than he ever knew about her, she possesses a strong soul and pure heart. Two things which are very much necessary for ruling with iron fist, but if only he can make that happen, he cannot sadly.

"you know what you should be doing? Fulfilling my carvings not battling and destroying my house." He matched the blow for blow as she they circled each other. And he charged only for her to side sweep him and landed on the wall. "That I will do if you let me, which you don't." He pulled his sword off the wall and felt a cold metal on his throat. "Watch your back my Prince, that was the first lesson you have ever taught me. Looks like your rage had blinded you." She said nicking him.

The cut healed leaving no trace of blood or scar. He licked his lips. "The only thing that can blind me Princess is your love, but sadly you don't any left to give me." He said twisting her arm so that the dragger felt out landing on the ground and a clinking noise spread all over the palace. "Have you tried asking rather than being angry? Have you tried to look from my perspective? All you want is to have me, with you for rest of your existence, but have you tried to look from my point of view? What I will get out of this existence. Tell me My Prince what I will get out of this relationship other than being your slave?"

"You are not my slave my princess, I never thought you as one. You are someone I love, more than anything in this world. You are someone made for me. Someone who was suppose to be with me for rest of my existence. But you are in a hurry to leave me and I cannot do a thing about it. You think I want you because of your body? That I love to bed you? Think again." He said leaving her alone. "Go and rest. That is something you should do." She crossed her arms and walked after him.

He stopped. "I told you to leave." "And I said I won't. I am not going to leave you, get this through your thick skull. So you better come up with me, since I need assistance." She said. "Call the maids, there are plenty all around the castle." She huffed. "What part of I need you in my chambers because I am in need of your assistance you don't know?" I asked. "Every syllable."

"You are impossible" She said and took his arm trying to pull him with her. She knows very well that he can be stubborn when he wants to be. And now he is being stubborn. She finally able to move him in the direction she wanted and then laid him towards their bed chambers. "I am here what do you want now?" He asked now amused. 

"Right now from this moment forth I am your master and you are my servant so, you will do what I say, when I say." She told him but what she wasn't expecting was him to comply. He lean on his knee bowing his head down to her. "Yes Mistress, your word is my command, I am your slave for eternity to come."

She ran her hands through his hairs. He was now enjoying the game, wondering what next. "Stand up" She commanded. He stood up with his eyes still cast down, playing along with her. "Look at me." She commanded again. He looked up to see a wonderful sight in front of him, she had decided to walk without anything to cover her, all he can see was her huge bump. "I am thirsty." She whispered in his ear. "What you wish to drink Mistress?" He asked.

"you, I want you" he didn't needed anymore of an invitation after this. He picked her up and placed her on to the bed. She was giggling all the time. "Now, how shall I procced Mistress?" he asked. "Love me" he didn't needed to be told twice after that. He leaned over her capturing her lips with his. Moving on to her neck. Held his neck kissing him over him and she bit a little too hard.

He felt she was drawing blood from him on her own. He felt pleasure like never before. He started to feel lightheaded. "Agapitos" He moaned Making her bite a little harder. His hands were working his way to her body. She pulled back. And Atreo Kissed her again. Tasting his blood on her mouth. Surprisingly she didn't gagged, Or feel nauseated.

"Now it is my turn Love, and I am planning to use and love every inch of you. All night long. You cannot stop me from that. Because you belong to me. Only mine for rest of the eternity." He said closed the distance again.
