Hellbound With You novel Chapter 507

Chapter 507 Isolated*

Silence crept inside the room and Alex’s expression became unreadable. Abi turned her back from him, trying to calm down. She knew she shouldn’t have brought this topic into this situation because they had something much more important to deal with for now, but she couldn’t help it.

As she let out a sigh, warm and strong arms wrapped around her waist from behind her. She felt Alex’s face rested at the blade of her shoulder and silently hugged her. And that was enough to soothe Abi’s troubled heart.

"Better?" his gorgeous deep voice echoed softly in her ear. Before she knew it, she turned and hugged him back.

"Hmm," she mumbled against his chest when a knock pulled their attention towards the door.

Kai emerged from the door. "The witch queen said we’re leaving in an hour."

...

In the courtyard, the elite vampires were already gathered.

"I can’t believe all of us finally gathered like this again," Riev was grinning. There was excitement and thrill in his eyes as he looked at all the other vampires. "Haha, look at them. Everyone is way too serious."

"Isn’t this your fault?" Raven replied as he leaned against the pillar. His hands folded across his chest while Riev was squatting on the floor.

"Hey. Don’t blame your almighty subordinate like that." Riev looked up, his lips twisted.

Raven’s lashes dropped to glance at him. "Your story is ridiculously exaggerated. Now they look tensed because they think they can’t afford to relax at all," Raven’s glare at Riev turned sharp. "Did you forget that most of them never engaged in this type of battle yet?"

Riev eyes wandered, avoiding Raven’s gaze. The elite vampires were all trained by Ezekiel and Alex, so they have been considered as the strongest army. However, in the past hundreds of years, the vampires never engaged in any big and serious battles because the era of wars had long ended for them. This battle would be the first for most of them. They were thrilled, but at the same time, they were too tensed. And the main reason was because of Riev’s over the top story.

"Y-you heard my made-up story?" Riev stammered as he stood. "Haha," he forced a laugh, but when Raven’s expression didn’t change, Riev cleared his throat and scratched his head. "Don’t worry, boss, I will now go and clarify everything."

The man dashed away, and after a short while, the tensed soldiers gladly loosened up.

However, a minute didn’t even pass, and a voice made the soldiers’ immediately tensed up once again. Though this time, even Riev reacted the same. _{freewebnσvel.cѳm}

"Your story isn’t actually exaggerated, Riev," Alicia said. "You guys might really end up fighting a dragon."
