Hellbound With You (WN)

A deep and carefree chuckle echoed in all through the corridor, causing the silver-haired man to glare at Zeke.

”I am just stating the truth! You ’re too heartless. I ’m certain you ’re the most cunning creature I ’ve ever met in my life! Right, Alexander? ” Zeres blurted as he looked at Alex in the hopes of seeking for an ally.

Alex just glanced at him with a raised brow and then looked over to Zeke. He tilted his head and looked at Abigail. ”I ’ll let my wife answer for me. ” He said with a playful smirk.

Now that Zeres looked at them, he finally noticed that the two were holding each other ’s hands and Alexander was all over Abigail like a moth that is inescapably drawn to the flame. His eyes were glued on her alone the entire time.

A hopeless sigh escaped Zeres ’ lips and he immediately looked ahead, dragging his eyes away from them as his grip on Alicia slightly tightened.

”I think… I would have to agree with Zeres, ” he heard Abigail ’s voice drift over and his attention was back on Ezekiel.

”See? ” Zeres lifted a brow at him, feeling smug that Abigail concurred with his statement that Alex brushed off earlier. Zeke smirked but as always, his eyes remained flat and emotionless.

Finally, the group arrived inside Zeke ’s large study.

”My room ’s just on the other side of this study, Zeres. Why don ’t you go ahead and tuck the queen in to bed first? ” Zeke said as everyone moved to seat themselves on the luxurious chairs arranged around the low mahogany table in the centre of the magnificent study room. Abigail had initially asked Zeres to bring Alicia to one of the vacant rooms in Alexander ’s wing, but the man was obviously wary. He argued that he couldn ’t leave the queen anywhere in this palace of vampires alone, unguarded and far from his reach.

Everyone understood why Zeres was being overly cautious. Alicia was in a very vulnerable state and he was the only witch around in a palace filled with vampires. Abi tried to explain but she understood that it would still be hard for Zeres to trust the vampires fully on his own accord. Only time can prove to him that things are now different than they were like compared to the ancient times.
