Hellbound With You novel Chapter 499

Chapter 499 Not so wonderful*

When Alicia, Zeres, and the man in the black cloak finally arrived in the vampire’s country, the sun was already setting.

"I am leaving," said the man in the black cloak, and Zeres just nodded at him.

"Okay, I will see you tomorrow, Kiel."

Alicia had been continuously glancing at Ezekiel during their entire trip. She was still waiting for any sort of signal from him. But as expected, she received nothing from the man. And now, he was leaving. Alicia so wanted to ask, but she knew that wasn’t an option when the man himself didn’t even look at her at all the entire time. It seemed he really wad supporting this decision and was now leaving this immortal witch in her care. But what if something will happen? What if Alexander and Zeres will end up fighting tonight the moment they met? Ezekiel’s presence was definitely needed in this crucial moment, and yet he’s leaving because of that woman’s order? Was that woman’s order really more important than this?

Alicia couldn’t help but feel dismayed.

Even though Alicia still doesn’t know the extent of Zeres’ power, that color in his eyes that was so much akin to Alexander was enough to make him another dangerous creature. That was why the thought that this man and Alexander might end up fighting tonight alarmed her.

However, since that vampire prince was so carefree leaving them like this, maybe she didn’t need to worry this much. Moreover, Abi was there. Abi’s presence would be enough to calm Alexander and perhaps, Zeres as well.

Ezekiel was long gone, but Alicia was still staring at the direction where he had disappeared. She was thinking so deep that she didn’t notice she’d been staring with a far off look in her eyes for a long while now until Zeres’ angel face appeared just inches away from her face.

"Queen, tell me, do you seriously like that guy?" he asked, gazing at her with intense curiosity.

Alicia simply sighed, unbothered by his words.

"Zeres, I think you should stop minding such kind of silly things right now. If I were you, I would start preparing myself for what’s coming ahead, instead." She told him. An obvious warning resonated in her tone.

But Zeres didn’t seem to take her warning seriously. "Geez, I am just worried about you." He mumbled.

Alicia raised a brow. "Worried about what? About that man, you called Kiel?"

Zeres hesitated for a moment. "Well, even I could feel something is off with Kiel. I mean, I am not against a relationship between a witch and a vampire. Although I still never heard about such a relationship happening in my life until now... but anyway, I am not talking about the forbidden love between a vampire and a witch. It’s just that..." he trailed off and peered at her through his thick lashes, flashing that seemingly genuine kindness in his eyes again. "It’s just that... I think Kiel is too heartless for you and, in fact, for anyone looking for love. How should I say this... anyway, you’re the queen, I’m sure you already know what I am trying to say."
