Hellbound With You novel Chapter 329

Chapter 329 My maid

The mischief and playfulness on Alex's face slowly faded and his eyes became serious. He somehow felt warm and he unexpectedly loved it when she hugged him this way. But he really didn't like hearing the obvious fear in her heart. He despised it and he didn't know why. Maybe he just didn't like that someone or something was scaring her?

He grabbed her hands and forcefully pulled them away as he looked at her despite her protest.

"Tell me, why are you acting like this?" his gaze was suddenly intense.

Abi's heart skipped a beat at his question and that look in his eyes. The look that was filled with curiosity and suspicion made her swallow. But then, her eyes looked around again because the witch was scaring her more than Alex's suspicions.

"Please, Alex, let me –"

"When did you start thinking that I am some retarded weakling you need to worry about this much?" He sounded displeased and his eyes turned cold and hard. There it was, the scary Alex was showing up.

Abi could only grit her teeth. What should she do? She wasn't acting like this because she thought he was weak. It was only because she knew that he was prone to manipulation by a witch! And that was something she would never let happen to him!

Alex finally stood up and faced her still holding her wrists. He bent down to look Abi straight in the eyes.

"You. are. my. maid." He stressed, word by word. "Stop acting like you're a soldier or my bodyguard. Understand?"

Abi pressed her lips tightly. She didn't like what he said. Why couldn't she act like his soldier? Why couldn't she act like his bodyguard? Was it so wrong for her to want to protect him once in a while?

Gritting her teeth, Abi violently pulled her hands off him. But then, the moment Alex let her wrists go, she wrapped her hands around his waist and hugged him. No, she was trying to tie him on her.

"Please don't push me away and let me do my job and stick to you. Let's go back to the hotel, Alex. This is my fault, I shouldn't have dragged you out," she whispered, pleading. "Let's leave now, please."

Alex stared down at her. "Little lamb, have you forgotten that we're here to hunt? We're the hunters here, not the prey. And I am here with you. Tell me where she is and I'll catch her in a blink of an eye."

He was serious as he said it but what he said had only made her more scared. No, that was not the plan! Zeke said he needed to be there to protect Alex during the hunt.

What if something happened? What if the witch succeeded in manipulating him instead once Alex touched her? Or the moment she saw him?

Abi still didn't have that much knowledge about vampires, let alone witches. She didn't know much at all except for the few things that Zeke had told her. That was why she had to rely on Zeke's instruction. She knew that Alex was strong but after seeing what happened yesterday, Abi couldn't ignore the fear in her heart - that something bad would happen to Alex.
