Hellbound With You novel Chapter 468

Chapter 468 The Long Lost Tale Part XIV

"Then we won’t have a choice but to take you by force."

"Tch!" Alex twitched his lips. He looked around and he knew there was no way he and Zeres could win against them. They were able to fight those humans but these were vampires and not ordinary vampires at that! What should he do?

"Do you want to go?" young Abigail suddenly asked, causing Alex’s head to snap towards her.

Their eyes met. Alex didn’t want to go. He didn’t want to leave this place. He didn’t know why but he felt like he had found that one place where he belonged and that place was next to her. Now that he had finally found his place in the world, why would he still want to leave?

Remembering what she told him that day, that staying with her made her happy, Alex flashed a slight smile at her. "No," he told her.

His answer was, of course, loud enough to be heard by the vampire army and the man who stepped forward sighed. He lifted his hand and pointed at Alex. "Take him," he ordered and the next second, the horde of vampires jumped at them.

The young Abigail closed her eyes, waiting for mist to come. The fight had started. She heard steel clash against claws and flesh but the mist didn’t come. She was confused but when she opened her eyes, she realized why the mist didn’t appear. She wasn’t in danger because no one was attacking her.

Shock filled her eyes. Why were they not attacking her at all?

She looked at Alex, he was already losing and so was Zeres. Their human skills could not stand against these vampires. She could only watch as Alex swung his sword against the vampires coming at him, struggling to hold them off. Then she saw Zeres being kicked in the stomach, causing him to fall backwards by her feet. She immediately crouched down and held him.

"Zeres! Are you okay?"

"Damn. They are way too strong!" Zeres cursed. His body was already covered with wounds. These vampires were a lot stronger than the vampires he used to fight against every night.

"Ugh!!!"

Their attention was pulled to Alex as he groaned. Abi’s eyes flew towards him and she saw that he was completely surrounded.

"Give it up, your highness. Please drop your sword and come with us now. You and I both know your efforts are wasted here," the elite vampire coaxed.

But Alex just straightened up and glanced at Abigail. He looked at her desperate expression and he could see it in her eyes; that if this didn’t end soon, she would call for Lexus. Alex didn’t want that to happen because he knew that these vampires were not here because of him. They were definitely here for a bigger purpose. He wouldn’t let himself believe that his father sent his strongest force just to bring him back. It was just too absurd. Who was his father trying to fool? Alexander knew exactly what his father was like because he had been around long enough to know that the vampire king only wanted one thing; more power.

The fact that they never approached Abigail was enough for him to doubt their real purpose. If Abigail were to call Lexus out to deal with these men, they would know that a dragon master still lived and that it was her. That knowledge would put Abigail’s life in danger and that was something he would never let happen. Even though she had Lexus’ protection, Alex had observed that she wasn’t invincible. She had her very own Achilles heel that the enemies will soon exploit, especially the vampire king.
