Hellbound With You novel Chapter 472

Chapter 472 The Long Lost Tale Part XIX

Back in Black Dragon Hills.

Sitting on the bench, young Abigail was staring blankly at the forest, waiting again. It had been many days since Alexander had gone and he had not returned yet. She was devastated and so damn sad but she never stopped believing that one day, Alex would come back to her. He had promised her that he would return so until that time, she would wait for him.

But she was missing him very much. She missed his smile, his voice, those nights they both just sat on the bench staring at the sky, and all those times they spent together. Why? Why was he not back yet? How long was she going to miss him like this for?

She felt like there was a lump in her throat. She didn’t know that missing him would feel this awful. It was a misery she was unprepared for.

"Abigail!" She was jolted by Zeres’ voice. When she looked at him, his face was utterly displeased. "Please stop thinking about him already," Zeres said, his jaws clenching. "He’s not coming back so forget about him."

The young woman bit her lips and her eyes started to well. She couldn’t accept what he said. ’Alexander was going to come back!’ she told herself strongly.

"No. Please don’t say that. He promised me he would come back, Zeres. So I will wait for him," she told him.

Zeres rose, clenching his fists tightly as he stood before her, locking his eyes with hers.

"Listen, Abigail. I heard from my mother that he is leading an army to go north. The vampire king is ill and I heard that he offered Alexander the crown. You know what that means right? A vampire, especially a royal and a crown prince like him will never marry a human like you," he told her and Abigail just looked at him, shocked, as her tears silently flowed down her cheeks.

Seeing her tears, Zeres’ gaze softened and he knelt before her. He lifted his hand to wipe the tears on her face.

"I’m sorry. But... I couldn’t take it anymore. I hate watching you looking so sad like this every day. I am saying this because I don’t want you to wait for something that isn’t going to happen. Please, can you just forget about him and let’s go back to how it was before he came?" Zeres’ eyes became pleading as his other hand held her hand.

But the young woman didn’t stop crying. "But Zeres... I can’t do that anymore," she replied as she clutched her chest. "I already love him... more than anyone and anything."

Zeres eyes dimmed and his head slowly sunk as he stared at the ground.

"I... I was here with you before him, Abigail. I have been here with you much longer than he has so why didn’t you fall for me?" he mumbled. "Why him? I always..." he paused, choking, as he looked up at her again. "I have always liked you, Abigail. I fell for you since the day you found me in the forest."

The girl just sat there, still like stone as she looked at him with widened eyes. She was shocked by Zeres’ sudden confession and no words came out of her lips.

In just a short period of time, Alexander had gained the utmost loyalty from his soldiers. To them, he wasn’t just a prince, he had already become their King. He was their master whom they would follow and sacrifice their life for because under his command, they were invincible. _{freewёbnoνel.com}
