Hellbound With You novel Chapter 510

Chapter 510: The right time*

Alex finally halted. They didn't find anything in the last three plateaus they had searched, so Alex's pause made everyone think they finally found the right place.

"Is this the right place?" Kai, who was right behind Abigail, asked Alicia, but Alicia shook her head.

"I don't think so," she said, causing Kai's brows to knot as his gaze flew towards Alex. 'Then, why did he stop?'

"Someone's coming."

As Alicia spoke, a man in a black cloak appeared ahead of them. The falling raindrops seemingly turned heavier as everyone prepared to battle. The air turned exceptionally intense.

More and more silhouettes appeared behind the cloaked man, and just like him, everyone behind him wore the same black cloak. Raven and the others who were present during the battle in the Ziggurat days before had their eyes widen. Because they could tell that the man leading the group of the rogue vampires was no other than their master, Ezekiel.

Alex, Kai, Alicia, Abi, and Raven were the only ones who knew that Ezekiel had been acting like a mole on the enemy's side. The rest of the soldiers didn't know about this, so they were a little shaken when they felt the familiar aura of their master. It was faint, but there was no way the elite vampires will not recognize the man who trained them for almost a hundred years. Confusion immediately painted their faces, but they didn't lose focus. All of them immediately thought that the man who had the same aura as their master must be an illusion someone powerful was using so they would drop their guards down.

And with that, the soldiers retained their utmost focus and intensity, completely ignoring the confusion and doubts caused by that man's presence. But to the ones who knew that the man before them was indeed Ezekiel, couldn't help but narrow their eyes at him.

Alicia tried to spot the witches or that woman, Dinah, if she was close but failed. She couldn't see anyone else but Ezekiel and the strong rogue vampires behind him. Why did that woman send out Ezekiel this early? Alicia knew that this plateau wasn't Dinah's hiding place. She thought that, like what happened in Frost Town, Dinah will keep Ezekiel beside her again and will only send her weaker minions in the front line to serve as her sacrificial pawns. So she changed her plan? Why? Was that woman planning to use Ezekiel to exhaust Alexander? Or did Zeke convinced Dinah to let him lead the front lines?

The same questions were playing in Abi, Kai, and Raven's head except for Alex. They were wondering if Ezekiel was planning something else that could benefit them. Maybe, Zeke was planning to let some of them to easily advance purposely?

While Alicia and the others were trying to figure out the real purpose of Zeke's early appearance, a roaring thunder echoed.
