Loved By a Vampire King

Chapter 283 - Think Me As Your Nightmare!

* Regular Updated Chapter *

Ayra felt her cheeks getting hot unnecessarily after his impish comment. Stuck with him in a room alone with a demon like him was the only misfortune that had left to be happened in her little life. Ayra felt her heart beating faster than any racing horses when he started to pick up his predatory steps towards her.

She remained seated with her head swinging down and eyes watched the crafted mattress underneath her feet. Cedric paused in front of her with a devilish smile and blurted out softly,

" Sleep!"

Ayra jolted shotting her eyes up questioningly. Cedric almost laughed hard at the way Ayra reacted and spoke with a mischievous grin,

" Goodness! I wasn't asking you to sleep with me. Don't you have to take rest?"

Ayra blushed before replying back hastily,

" Yes..Yes..I ..I was going to sleep now... But what about you?"

She questioned out of courtesy only to see another mischievous glint flashing across his hooded eyes. Cedric bent down a little towards her and whispered with a smirk,

" Why? So eager to share the bed with me?"

Ayra almost slapped herself for being so courteous with him. She might have gone insane after spending more and more time with his. He was definitely not worthy of her concern.

She huffed angrily and started to climb up on the bed,

" I was wrong! I was wrong! I am sleeping. You can do whatever you want to do in here! "

Cedric shook his head helplessly at the sight of her nervous expression. Considering the fact that she was tired, he didn't tease her any longer and watched her going underneath the blanket like a frightened kitten.

Perhaps Ayra was really very exhausted about those emotional strugglings that she was fighting inside her mind. As soon as she laid down, sleep consumed her soul even though her heart raced violently at the thought of Cedric staying inside her room.

Right beside her room, Alexander kept rumbling unhappily over her mother's decision to let Cedric staying in Ayra's room. He wanted to take a look each time but he was scolded by Esme brutally. Possibly he wasn't getting used with the fact that soon his beloved sister would belong to Cedric permanently. Even though Cedric found her before anyone could do, he wasn't pleased at all.

Esme kept shaking her head helplessly as she saw the boys getting alarmed each time,they heard a little movement from Ayra's room. Both mothers had a hard time coaxing their sons to go back to their own respective rooms.

Once they were gone, Esme inhaled a deep breath and walked over Athena who was sitting near the bedpost in deep thoughts. Esme plopped down beside her and asked in a gentle voice,

" What are you thinking about?"

Athena persued her lips together after a moment of silence,

" Don't you think that we should tell Cedric regarding Ayra's curse? What if he later finds out and misunderstands Ayra?"

At the mention of Ayra's curse, Esme's face paled and she couldn't help but shivering a little. Memories of that night still haunted her occasionally. She replied after a deep breath,

" But Ayra has nearly forgotten that she has a curse in her life. Morever nothing bad happened so far. We shouldn't talk about it untill it gets serious. Furthermore my instincts tell that Cedric has genuine feelings for our daughter."

Athena couldn't be less agreed in this matter. She nodded her head repeatedly and replied with a relieved smile,

" You are right, sister-in-law. He was so worried when Ayra went missing. Was our daughter going to do any mistake for marrying someone like Seth? I still can't believe that he forced on our daughter."

Esme narrowed her eyes in deep thoughts. Indeed it is impossible to judge someone by his outer appearence. Seth always stood in high position in their eyes but such misbehavior wasn't expected from him at all.

Esme replied sitting upright from the bed and went over the open window slowly,

" Whatever it is, we don't know at all. But all I can say that perhaps they were destined from the beginning. Or else why would Cedric take a liking to the woman who was seven years older than him? I don't care about rumours. As long as he makes our daughter happy, I will accept him as my son-in-law."

Athena hummed with a soft sigh and mumbled,

" I totally agree with you. If he loves and adores our daughter, there is no point of paying attention on those rumours. Besides setting mind upon Seth had already proved that we can't fully convinced by our daughter's decision anymore. No matter how big she is now, we have to reconsider her each decision."

Esme nodded compherensively and looked outside blankly. Shortly after,her brows caressed deeply together and she asked with a shaky voice,

" Athena.. have you noticed something weird?"

Athena asked with curiousity,

" What is that?"

Esme breathed heavily and whispered slowly,

" Whenever Ayra loves someone, something bad happens to that person. Isn't it?"

Athena's face paled like a paper shit. She didn't know whether was it right or wrong but her heart shuddered at that thought.

Meanwhile, the night was quite long for Cedric who hopelessly watched the girl swinging in deep slumber sleep. His lips curled up mischievously when he spotted the drooling saliva from the corner of her lips. He wanted to go over and held her in his arms but thinking about her reluctant face, he had to banish those ideas.

Still keeping his eyes on her sleeping face, he noticed her little movements. Her brows furrowed together deeply then came after her uneasy movements as if she was in horrible nightmares.

Cedric quickly walked on her side and crunched down to touch her cheeks that were gathering shine sweatdrops. Using the most gentle that he ever had,he called by her name wanting to stop her painful thoughts,

" Ayra..Ayra..Wake up.. Ayra.."

Ayra fluttered open her heavy eyelids and was shocked to find his face so close to her. She jumped off to sit and started to stammer with her irregular breathing,

" What.. what are you doing over here...You.. what are you doing on my bed.."

Cedric didn't mind on her words. His attention was still laying on her aching face and he asked with a concerned tone,

" Are you okay? Feeling better? You looked pathetic."

Ayra blinked few times before dropping her eyes somewhere else. Tugging the blanket closer to body, she answered incoherently,

" It's.. just nightmares.."

Cedric was sincerely worried about her. He asked scrutinising his brows tightly,

" What kind of nightmares that you get? According to your powers, you shouldn't have any horrible nightmares like average creatures."

Ayra initially wanted to blurt out the truth. But thinking that he would mock on her, she gave up the thoughts and scoffed arrogantly,

" You are a nightmare by yourself. What's more you wish to learn about my nightmares?"

Cedric was a little taken back before grinning devilishly. While smiling from ear to ears, he boasted on his own,

" Oh darling! If you think me as your nightmare, then I don't mind coming in your dreams regularly. Trust me!"

Ayra rolled her eyes back and was firmly believed that she couldn't win against his flirting skills at all. When she decided to sleep back, Cedric's cold voice suddenly echoed in her ears,

" Well, I just hope, your nightmares don't revolve around your little lover. Or is it?"
