Hellbound With You novel Chapter 322

Chapter 322 Date

"This is such a beautiful place. Do witches really live here?" Abi asked. She was simply awed. It was just too beautiful, it could be called paradise.

She couldn't believe that a witch was actually living in a place like this. Of course, from all the books she had read, she had imagined a dull, eerie place in the woods or something akin to that when she found out that they were heading to the northernmost village of the country! So seeing this village, which was as far from her imagination as it could be, she was completely awestruck by the natural beauty and this feeling of peacefulness coming from the place.

"Yes. The witches like to stay in places like this, close to the black forest, where they can run to escape from danger. They know the dark forest well so they have a high chance of escaping when vampires spot them." Alex replied.

"So you're saying that they are living and roaming around as one of the villagers?"

"Yes. This village in particular is composed of only humans."

"Really? All of them?" Abi looked at him with wide eyes, surprised.

"Yes. These people are the descendants of one family who came to live here hundreds of years ago. The first family who settled here were the royal family of an overthrown kingdom. The exiled king happened to be this country's king's friend so he had allowed them to settle here in peace. They vowed to keep the country's secret and never leave the place in exchange for the protection from vampires. Now, that family grew into a village."

"That's a very interesting story," she uttered, still gushing at the sight before her eyes. "They must've been so thankful to be living in this paradise peacefully."

"Probably."

"What's the name of this village?"

"White Falls Village."

"White falls... It's a nice name."

The car idled in front of a small hotel. It looked picturesque. It was made of wood and there were flowers hanging all over the bricks.

"You two will stay here for the day," Zeke, who was a mute the entire trip, finally spoke.

Alex stepped out and took their luggage out and placed them by the stairs.

Abi watched Zeke's car leave with a slight frown. He was supposed to stay close to them, right?

"What? You want Zeke to stay with us in the hotel?" Alex leaned behind her. "Too bad for you but Zeke isn't interested in becoming a third wheel."

A smirk played on his face before he turned and walked up the stairs towards the door. Abi could only follow him in silence as an old lady welcomed them.

She led them upstairs and showed them their room.

Once the lady left, Alex walked out the door towards the small terrace. Abi got attracted by the beauty outside as well and she followed him. They could now see the village, the huge rock mountain in the background and the majestic falls.

Ah, this was so refreshing…

Abi closed her eyes to savor the cool, fresh air. There was no pollution in the village. There were cars parked up around the place but there were only a few of them. It looked like these were only used for long trips outside the village as she could see that all the people were mostly going about their business on foot or on bicycles.

The greenery was just too breathtaking to ignore. She just couldn't believe it! She breathed in deeply to take in this unpolluted air into her lungs. Again, she felt a very keen sense of something extraordinary in the air, as if magic surrounded the entire place.

She never thought that this was the kind of place they were going to. She almost felt like she was off on a vacation, and not on a witch hunt.

When she opened her eyes, Alex was observing her face closely. _{fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com}

"What are you thinking?" he asked.
