Never let you go
Chapter 1
Kaname Kuran was mad
Super super furious to be exact
He rarely has time to go home and spend time with his mate because of his specific job
Well, not everyone can be the King of vampires anyway
But now, the person he wanted to see the most- his mate was nowhere to be found
- " Zero Kiryuu, you can run but you can't hide from me!"- Kaname gritted his teeth as he stomped angrily around the mansion, trying to find his mate
~ At the same time~
Zero Kiryuu was on the too of the tallest pine tree in the forest near the mansion, looking at a certain direction with sad eyes
He was looking at the Cross Academy, where he had gone to three years ago
Memories floodes back into his head, there were happy memories as well as painful ones. He chuckled at the memory of the meeting between him and his spouse- them man who haunted his dreams every night again
Well, they were sweet dreams but still...
At that time, he celt as if his heart had jumped out of his chest. He even pretended not to know Kaname when he approached and threw foul words at him, and he did receive the punishment that night
Zero blushed as he remembered the punishment, ah hem...it was very passionate
- Zero! Get down here, now!
Zero's chain of thought was disturbed by a voice that he knew oh so well. Shiver ran down his sine, he knew that he couldn't get away this time
- Kaname, welcome home... - his voice trailed of as he saw those fiercing eyes looking at him
- Oh so you still remember your husband's name. Get down here before I get up there!
- J...Just a moment...- Zero gulped- promise that you will not do anything to me firsr!
Kaname glared at Zero, now he's giving out condition? He must do something about this or one day, he will not be able to control the situation anymore
- Ok ok, I promise now get down here before you hurt yourself!
Zero jumped down and fell into Kaname's strong arms. He was starled and tried to get away
- Do you know how worried I was when I got home and did not see you there? I was so scared, I can not bear the thought of losing you again, Zero!
Zero stopped struggling and brought his arms to hold on Kaname's arms around his body.
- I'm so sorry Kaname, I...- he did not think that his action would cause so much trouble for Kaname
- Please,...- Kaname begged into his lover's ear- don't do this to me again!
- I swear I won't do it again... - Zero turned around and kissed Kaname softly on the lips- ... trust me, ok?
Kaname said nothing but his arms around Zero held him stronger
They stayed like that for a mimute then suddenly, a pain hit Zero. He almost fell down if not because of Kaname. He clutched his stomach and started to whimpered
- Ah..ah... - beads of sweat rolled down his face, to the beneath of his shirt
- Zero, what happened? Zero! - Kaname kept Zero close to his body then lifted him up, carrying him back to the mansion
- Kaname, I...I'm fine...it's just...- Zero said. Ewtween his breathes
- No, Zero, you,re not fine! It's the wound, isn't it?- Kaname sounded almost like shouting at Zero
Zero stayed silent and looked at Kaname. He knew what Kaname was talking about. It was also the reason why he had once left Kaname's side
- I'm so sorry Zero! I'm so sorry...!- Tears started to fall from Kaname's eyes
~ Flashback~
It was winter year 1527, Salem
Kaname was aa pureblood vampire- the most powerful type among the vampires. Handsome, rich,powerful, he was the man of every woman's dream.
But to others' disappointment, he fell in love with an ex-human, worse, a hunter.
That person was Zero Kiryuu
A mutual love had formed between the two and the did not go against it.
They got married on December 24, the Christmas day of year 1527, when the vampire world was in a crisis.
Their lives were absolutely perfect if it wasn't for one day, a member of the Elders came to their place.
zero was alone at that moment.
The Elder said to Zero that: the Kuran needed an heir or else, the Vampire society will no longer exist.
He begged Zero to leave Kaname
But of course, Zero did not agree with that idea. Instead of that, Zero had done a risky thing that could have costed his life
He had gone to the most powerful witch upon the Twillight Hill named Dahlianna Scarlette and asked for a spell
A spell that could help him bear Kaname's children
When he opened his mouth to ask, the witch just smiled, a wicked smile and said:
- " What do you have in exchange, my dear?"
Zero was hesitate at the moment because he could not think of anything for the witch
After a minute of thinking, he finally said to the witch:
- "My most respectful witch, I do not have anything valuable for you... - then he pulled out a dagger
The witch looked at him in amusement
- "...the most valuable thing I have at the moment..." - he continued- "...is myself"
The witch sat up straight and signal him to go on
- " So I offer myself to you, you may carve your name or anything that represent for you on my body and make me your servant for eternalty"
The witch was silent for moment then finally spoke up:
- "Such a brave child you are. That person must feel so lucky of having you in his life" - a sad look was on her face but disappeared quickly
Zero waited for her decision nervously
- " I will take your offer. Now come here, child."
Zero looked at the witch with happiness. He quickly got up from his knees and went to the witch. Dahlianna took the dagger and told him to take off his shirt. Zero did what he was told then stood in front of the witch, waiting for her action.
Then an unbearable pain hit him. Dahlianna was using the dagger to carved a flower that represents her onto his stomach.
It was a lily. Then it slowly disappeared
Zero screamed on top of his lungs because of the pain during the progress but the witch's face did not show any emotions.
After the work had finished, the witch returned the dagger to Zero and said:
- " Return home, my child, the spell has been done. Remember, you belong to me, forever"
Zero thanked the witch and tried to drag himself home, where Kaname had been waiting for him hours ago.
Kaname was so worried about Zero ever since he knew about the arrival of an Elder then felt so relief to see a perfectly fine Zero standing right in front of him.
That night, they made love passionately, over and over again, Kaname only stopped when Zero fainted because of exhaust
Kaname called it a punishment for having left him waiting too long.
The next morning, Kaname had to go to Vatican because of a small war between the vampires over there. He promised Zero that he would be home soon.
He did not know that, after a few days of his depart, Zero found out that he was pregnant
With Kaname's child
Zero was so happy that he could die, until the day Kaname got home and discovered everything
- " Zero, dispose of it, now! You will die! I don't need an heir nor anyone, I just need you!
- "Please, Kaname, let me decide this time. You know you need it! The Elders need it, the Vampire world needs it!
- " Who cares about them! I only need you, Zero, please, listen to me!
- "Don't you understand, Kaname, I will have to leave your side if I don't have it. Besides,this is my own choice, I want some thing to prove our love is real, listen to me this time, Kaname!- Zero said in tears"
- " But still, Zero...!"
- "I know what I'm doing, trust me!
That night, Kaname held Zero tightly in his arms and they both cried themselves to sleep.
Spring 1528, Salem
Zero was asleep but then felt that he needed to pee. He got up and dragged himself and his pregnant stomach to bathroom. After finishing, he went back to his room. While walking through Kaname's office, he heard a conversation that could bring himself to hate Kaname forever.
- " Zero has been pregnat for a month, hasn't he?" - it was Kaname's voice
Zero felt a tint of happiness in his heart. Maybe Kaname was expecting this child to.
But his happiness did not stay long after what he heard next
- "Yes, Kaname- sama" - if Zero did not mistake, it was Takuma Ichijou, Kaname closest assistant
- " We need to dispose of that thing as soon as possible. I don't want it to threaten Zero's life anymore!"
The happiness on Zero's was replaced with fear. He could not believe it, Kaname wanted to kill his own child, his heir, the future of the Vampire society
- "But Kaname-sama, the Vampire society needs an heir and..." - Takuma was cut off by Kaname
- " Enough, I don't need it! Besides, even if he was born, he won't be a pureblood so how can he inheirit anything from me?" - Kaname's voice was so cold
That's right, how could he forget about this problem! Zero panicked. He is, after all, just a human, even if he had given anything away to bear Kaname's child, this child can never be a perfect vampire like his or her father.
However, Zero did not regret his choice.
- " I understand, Kaname- sama. I'll make it as fast as possible" - Takuma's voice cut off his thought
He needed to het back to their room, now!
When Kaname hot back to his and Zero's room, he found the love of his life sleeping soundly while clutching his stomach
He Kaname shot a hateful look at it then returned to Zero's sleeping face. His eyes softened by the scene. Zero looked so beautiful, even in his sleep
- " Wake up, sleeping beauty. It's time for dinner!"
Zero slowly opened his eyes and sat up. Kaname chuckled at his sleepy face. His Zero is just too cute
- "Kaname...you're back" - Zero opened his mouth and said
- " Yeah, I'm back. Now let's go to the dining room, it's dinner time"
When Kaname stood up from the bed, Zero quickly gripped his wrist
- " What's wrong my dear?" - Kaname asked
- " Kaname..." - Zero was hesitate
- "Hmm?"
- " Do you love me?"
- " Is if really needed to be asked? Of course I love you Zero, I love you to death!" I love you so much that I want to chain you up for you to love me a d can only be looked at by me. I love you too much that I can destroy anything and everything to have you in my arms
- " Then...will you love our child like you love me?"
Kaname's eyes widened. He stayed silent
- " Tell me, Kaname, will you?"
- " Of...of course Zero, it's our child, right?"
- "R...Right, I'm glad"- "Liar!" Zero's mind scream
- " Enough of chit-chat, let's go or the dinner will get cold" - Kaname said as he helped Zero to get out of bed
When they got into bed, Kaname held Zero tightly in his arms but not touching his stomach, but Zero knew that it was not because Kaname was afraid of hurting their little baby. Zero tried not to cry and slowly close his eyes
Zero was awaken by the sound of Kaname getting ready for work.
- " Sorry honey, did I wake you up?" - Kaname looked at Zero with a painful expression. He knew that ever since his forever mate got pregnant, he hasn't been sleeping well. Curse that stupid thing!
- " It' ok, I have to get up anyway, it's not good to sleep too much"
- " Well then, I have a meeting with those foolish Elders today so I may be home late. If you need anything, just tell Seiren, ok?"
- " Uhm!"
- " Right, I gotta go now or it will be troublesome. See you tonight honey!" Kaname placed a kiss on Zero's forehead
After the door was closed, Zero got out of bed and prepared what he will need after leaving this place. "I'm sorry Kaname, I love you but I also have to protect our child"
It was hard to trick Seiren but Zero managed to do it
During the meeting, Kaname felt...scared and empty, as if something has just left his life
That was why, he finished the meeting earlier and flew home as fast as he could
When Kaname got home, there was no sign of Zero
He was mad, furious, crazy, out of his mind
he know exactly the reason why Zero had left
Zero must have heard the conversation between him and Takuma that day
But he did not expect that Zero would choose that thing over him!
- " Find him! Dead or alive" - Kaname gritted his teeth and commanded Takuma - " No matter what it takes, bring him back to me!"
That day, a member of the Elders was executed. Seiren- Kaname's most loyal servant was heavily punished that she almost died.
