Hellbound With You novel Side Story Part II

Side Story Part II

Thankfully, he had learned a very important secret from one of the dukes of hell that he had taken in as one of his followers. He initially had thought of continuing on with his usual style of going on as a lone wolf, but with that bump his original plans, he could not afford to maintain the status-quo. Thus, he had reluctantly given up his usual style and had started accepting followers. However, only those who were worth their salt would be given the opportunity to be his followers.

And that was absolutely true for the duke named Ruka who was one of the earliest followers that had come under Zeke’s flag. Ruka had the power to foresee the future and he had told Zeke about the visions he had seen - one of which was the fact that Zeke was not going to be the winner of this game. There was someone else who was to be the winner that would sit on the throne. And with the advantage that Ruka’s foresight had given to him, this was what had prompted Zeke to come up with another meticulous plan to achieve his goal.

"We’ve found him, My Liege." Ruka’s voice echoed behind him. The duke then appeared before him. He had long and braided blond hair accentuating his face that was so beautiful anyone could mistake him as a woman if they did not hear his deep voice.

Zeke did not even bother to look at him and continued staring down at his ring. "Are you certain it’s him, this time?" he asked calmly. Though his voice seemed calm, there was a warning tinge underlying it. "Yes, My Liege." Ruka sounded confident. "There is no doubt this time. I saw him with my own two eyes. He’s dark haired and grey-eyed. Right now, he’s fighting with Prince’s Callum’s minions."

His fingers that were fiddling with his ring halted and he finally lifted his gaze to Ruka. "Is he winning the fight?"

"No." Ruka flashed a crooked smile at his liege and shook his head. "He’s actually all by himself. Seems like he doesn’t have an army of his own. I believe that he’s acting as a lone wolf. He reminded me a lot of you before you decided to take on followers." A wolfish grin then slanted across that feminine looking face, changing it into a ferocious yet manly and attractive countenance.

Zeke stood from the stone that served as his seat and flicked off a light sprinkling of hell ash from his lapel. "Lead the men. I’ll go ahead first before we lose him." And he disappeared in the next second, leaving Ruka sighing at his liege’s lone wolf style. Though he now has followers, still, his habit of getting things done on his own could not be removed. It must have been ingrained in him for a long time - even from before he came to this place. Ruka only shrugged as there was nothing that he could do about it.

He then turned and arched his brow at the big man who had just arrived, missing his liege by just a few seconds. He was a knight demon and the general of Prince Ezekiel’s army, Archer. "The Lord has left if you came looking for him." Ruka told him casually as he spread his dark wings behind him. "He had ordered us to go into battle." "When?" Archer raised a brow.
