Loved By a Vampire King-Chapter 558: The King’s Woman

* Flashback From The Past Days *

It was raining heavily in Demon land. The castle stood like a dark owl at night. Jasmine was scrutinized at the rainfall unhappily. It was another day that her return got delayed. She wondered about the unexpected rainfall during this cold winter.

Her door was pushed open without a proper knock. Her body became stiff at the moment. She composed herself up on the bed, staring like a hawk at the door. A young Ralph entered, his body smelt like blood as always. Jasmine wondered whether he went to drink blood again or not but she kept those questions to herself.

" I see, you are still awake!", Ralph muttered, not keeping his eyes off the woman. When she let go of her legs, his eyes landed on her heavily pregnant belly. Jasmine muttered unhappily,

" It’s raining again.. Won’t I return tonight?"

Ralph wasn’t pleased with her answer. Without speaking to her questions, his eyes fell on her wounded feet. She was a little clumsy, dropped a lamb on her feet not too long ago. He spat coldly, stepping closer in an intention to touch her feet,

" You aren’t healed yet.."

" Don’t touch me!", Jasmine gasped in terror, pulling her legs up to keep them out of his approach. She was breathing hard. Although he promised that they weren’t going to intimate randomly, she was afraid of his presence especially the way, he talked to her sometimes.

Ralph’s face paled instantly. His hand retracted slowly until they returned to his side. Jasmine muttered, staring at him unhappily,

" You are forgetting that I am the king’s woman.."

Ralph didn’t speak for a while. Smiling a little, he replied twisting his lips,

" And you are forgetting that you are my child’s mother. It’s natural for me to care for you." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Jasmine shook her head in disapproval. Clutching the bedsheet tightly around her body, she muttered without looking into his eyes,

" I.. I don’t want it..I am already dying in guilt. Don’t make it worse. You know, I love only Oscar in my life."

Ralph had a lot to say as her response. If Oscar really loved her, why did he care about whether she gave birth to a boy or not? Why did he see pain in her eyes?

At the end, he said nothing. No matter what he said, Jasmine was going to respond that it was none of his business. Staring at the cottons that began to flatter heavily from the wind, he walked over to close the curtains silently.

" Ahhh..", Jasmine suddenly cried out in pain, holding her stomach. Ralph rushed over to her, asking impatiently without touching her like she wanted,

" What happened? Are you having pain again?"

Jasmine shook her head in denial, her faint lips forming into a small smile. Subconsciously, she reached forward to grab his hand, placing it on her stomach to feel her son’s leg rolling around again,

" You feel that? Your son is kicking!"

Ralph was stunned for a long while.His eyes followed the leg movement in her stomach. It was an overwhelming feeling that he never felt before, the warmth of her hands, her smile when she called their baby as his son.

When Jasmine realized that she was gripping his hand, she jerked it off instantly. Her face once again morphed in guilt as if she had sinned. That expression hurt Ralph many times that he forgot to mind anymore.

Ralph exhaled heavily, getting up from her side to leave the room. Jasmine spoke in a weak voice,

" Can..can you stay tonight? It’s a rough day..I am kinda scared of this castle.."

Ralph didn’t leave the room. He turned back to walk over to the arm chair. After he sat, he told her softly,

" Go to sleep..I will be here.."

That night, Jasmine didn’t know how long he was staring at her. Whenever she made a request for leaving, Ralph felt the loneliness in this castle. That was the first time, he yearned for a family..a family of three.. with her...

* Flashback Ends *

"Lord Ralph..", Cedric tried to wake up the man who was lost in his thoughts. Getting his mind back, Ralph hid the bitter feelings in his heart. He murmured back softly,

" Perhaps I like to feel pains too, Cedric."

Cedric wasn’t convinced with his words. As a true demon, living without emotions was far enough good to live like a robot. Although it wasn’t his concern, he wanted to know more about him since he claimed that he was born from his gift of powers to his mother.

Cedric suggested after letting out a sigh,

" Then you should have married someone. Doesn’t it get lonely sometimes? Before Ayra, I thought that I could live alone but she changed everything slowly."

Ralph felt warm in his heart. For the first time, they were having a conversation without throwing any tantrums. At the same time, he noticed that he had changed so much more. He was turning more open to share his emotions. Ralph replied with a smile, burying a deep wishful thought to hug him tightly,

" I am glad that you found your love at least."

Cedric retorted sadly,

" But she isn’t mine..She is Hayden’s fated.."

" Everything happens in life fated to you!", Ralph interrupted him midway. His eyes filled with fatherly love as he continued again,

" No one can change the fate we have. If she is in your life, she is fated to you no matter if she was cursed or fated or engaged. Nothing matters, son! She is here, married to you which means that she belongs to you, your lawfully wedded wife."

Cedric looked up at him thoughtfully. After years, someone showed him a different thought about life. Before they could engage in more conversation, Frenchies appeared in urgency. He bowed before informing hurriedly,

" My king, you should visit Debisa.. probably.. for the last time.."
