Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 937

"No!"

Ximena screamed at the top of her lungs. Her scared voice showed that she was completely desperate. The python coiled up before her, preparing to spring. There were rings of blue fire around its cruel eyes.

"Melina," said a sacred voice," stay away from her!"

The python's tongue almost touched Ximena's head, but Aaron was there to stop her. Flicking her forked tongue, Melina was reluctant to relinquish her victim.

"Melina, stay away from her," the voice commanded again; it was Aaron. His voice sounded ferocious and his eyes were narrowed. As much as he didn't want to admit it, he was scared that Melina would hurt Ximena.

The voice terrified the python, and so it backed off and crept away from Ximena. At a safe distance, the python continued to flick the tongue, now holding its head high, looking at Aaron.

Aaron came up to Ximena. Ximena's face was drained of all color and her hands were trembling. Clinging at Aaron, Ximena abruptly passed out and collapsed in his arms.

As he looked at unconscious Ximena, Aaron's heart felt heavy with sadness, but at the same time, it was fired up with anger for Melina. With his eyes narrowed, Aaron looked murderous. All he could think of was killing the python.

Sensing Aaron's hostility, Melina stopped froze, and the homicidal rage in its eyes vanished. Even as a python, it was afraid to provoke Aaron. Slowly, it retreated, not taking its gaze off the man holding Ximena. In front Aaron, even a cold-blooded python would be docile.

Gritting his teeth, Aaron's mouth twitched. Knowing that the python was trying to escape, his instinct of running after it intensified. But with Ximena in his arms, all he could do was look as the python tried to retreat to safety. When Melina was finally close to the lake, she sped up and swam into the lake. All Aaron saw was the ripples in the lake made by the animal. After that, the python disappeared.

Taking in a deep breath to calm himself, Aaron stood up and carried Ximena back to the villa. On their way, a foreign man carrying a sheep on his shoulder walked up to them.

"Your Highness?" Vernon was surprised. Looking at Ximena, he knew that something bad had happened. "Your Highness, please forgive Melina. She didn't mean to do harm," he said, his eyes begging. "I can explain, Your Highness. Please let me explain."

Taking no notice of Vernon, Aaron continued walking. Carrying Ximena, he strode silently to the villa.

Knowing that Aaron was angry, Vernon left the sheep and tried to stop him, but Aaron didn't care to acknowledge him at all. "Melina got sick for a long time," he started explaining exasperatedly. "She has no strength to kill people. I just went to grab some food for her, and I didn't know that she would attack anyone!" Still keeping up with the unbothered man, he took a glance at Ximena and let out a sigh of relief. It was obvious that Ximena was someone special to Aaron, and so he said," Thank God she is okay. Please, Your Highness, spare Melina's life," Vernon begged.
