Hellbound With You novel Chapter 485

Chapter 485 The Long Lost Tale Part XXXI

Knowing that he couldn’t stop the next wave of arrows anymore, Alex turned around and hugged Abigail, shielding her again.

His lips landed on her forehead as a tear fell from his eye. "I’m sorry... I love you..." was all he could utter as his grip on her tightened. His body was rigid as he closed his eyes and prepared to die. He couldn’t feel his body anymore, but his heart was bleeding. All he wished right then was for Abigail to stay alive.

Alex closed his eyes, waiting for the arrows to pierce through him.

However, the arrows never came. Instead, he could feel a scorching heat wave coming from above them, and when he opened his eyes again, Alex could see that Lexus had burned all the arrows to ashes, along with part of the castle.

Lexus had come, but Alex couldn’t even feel glad as he looked at the dragon raging from above.

His eyes slowly fell on Abigail, and his heart filled with fear.

"A-Alex..." Abigail uttered as their eyes met. She had broken the spell by calling Lexus. Abigail smiled at him as blood began to flow slowly from the corner of her lips.

They both fell to their knees with Alex cradling Abigail in his arms.

"Are you okay?" she asked, reaching out to touch his face. Worry was written all over her face as she looked at him.

Alex couldn’t speak. His tears just fell silently as he looked at her. Abigail lifted her arms and hugged him tightly.

"Don’t cry," she told him before she pulled away and looked at his face again. She caressed his face as gently as she could and pushed his hair away from his eyes. "I finally get to see your face again. I’ve missed you," she whispered as she planted soft kisses on his lips and forehead.

And then she coughed, and blood came out of her lips. Her energy seemed to have left her, and her arms fell to her sides.

Alex trembled as he held her. His tears were flowing even more. He could tell that the witch queen didn’t lie when she said that breaking the spell forcefully could cost Abigail her life. Her heartbeat was weakening, and she was gasping for air.

Abigail was dying and, as if the dragon had sensed it, Lexus began to go berserk, flying around aimlessly and burning everything. It was as if, like Alex, he didn’t know what to do anymore, and he fell into a rage, destroying everything in his path.

Opening her eyes, Abi looked at Alex, and she weakly raised her hand to wipe Alex’s tears. He had become a broken statue, just trembling and crying silently as he held her in his arms.
