Hellbound With You novel Chapter 522

Chapter 522 When everything is over

Ezekiel held his hand towards Alicia but Alicia just stared down at his palm, still speechless.

The groans and growls coming from Zeres intensified. It was as if someone was torturing him to the most excruciating degree. Alicia couldn’t help but glance at him and she saw his wings spreading out as he screamed in pain.

"Alicia," Ezekiel spoke again, this time his tone signified haste.

Alicia returned her gaze towards Ezekiel, staring intensely into the man’s eyes. When Alicia still didn’t make a move, Ezekiel took a step closer towards her, causing Riev to subconsciously tighten his hold on Alicia, drawing her closer to his chest at the same time.

Ezekiel finally glanced at the wary Riev but he didn’t say a word as he kept walking closer to them. Ezekiel didn’t stop until he was only inches away from Alicia.

And then he leaned in to whisper in Alicia’s ear. "Your blood will end Zeres’ suffering. Dinah’s lying. She is merely experimenting. She doesn’t know what she’s doing. If you feed him your blood, Zeres will go back to his original form and he will no longer listen to Dinah. He will listen to you instead," Ezekiel uttered these convincing words, words that Riev also heard. "Do as I say, or the two of you will be killed," he added before he straightened up and locked eyes with Alicia again. _{fɾēewebnσveℓ.com}

Alicia didn’t know what to say. She just couldn’t believe this. Her eyes darted towards Dinah and the witches and the rogue vampires surrounding her. Ezekiel was right. If Ezekiel hadn’t done what he did, she and Riev would have most likely been dead by now and Dinah would have been forcefully feeding her blood to Zeres.

However, were Ezekiel’s words really the truth? Or was he just saying this so that Dinah could get her way?

She had just seen him whisper something to Dinah and now, he was whispering to her right in front of Dinah. Could she still trust this man? Whose side was he really on? Who was he really trying to fool? Was it Dinah? Or was it her?

No matter how much she tried, she could no longer understand Ezekiel and she really hated it. She hated that he did not give her any reassurance, something that would sway her into trusting him - anything! Why? Was it because he didn’t trust her enough? Or was it because he really was on Dinah’s side? She was losing her mind trying to decipher this enigmatic creature and she was at her wits end! Would she be a fool to trust him? Would she pay that trust with her life?

Ezekiel leaned in once again. "There’s no time. Trust me," he whispered as he took her hand.

Alicia pressed her lips so tight as she clenched her fists. After telling her not to trust him, he was now telling her to trust him again? Ugh!! These mind games were going to be the end of her, not Dinah!

"E-ezekiel... you know what? If I had enough strength right now..." she bit her lips hard as she glared at him. "Your face would be so black and blue that even your own mother would not recognize you," she uttered through gritted teeth.
