Hellbound With You novel Chapter 568

Chapter 568 Breathless*

At last, it was time for them to leave the bar. As the quartet stood outside, Alex draped his arm around Zeres’ shoulders as he leaned on him and whispered. "I will visit you in the Black Forest one of these days." He grinned. The gold in his eyes glimmered momentarily before turning black again. "So better sharpen your sword, Zeres. Don’t you dare disappoint me."

"I’d be happy to entertain you, Alexander." Zeres finally smiled. It was that challenging smile that used to always rile up Alex back then.

"I’ll be looking forward to it." Alex patted his shoulder, then, before letting go, he again whispered on Zeres. "And you better spill out what the hell’s bugging you the next time I see you. Or else... I’ll bring you down and then force Alicia to read your mind."

Zeres’s expression darkened at Alex’s words. He glared at him, but Alex just haughtily smirked.

"So for now," Alex ignored Zeres’ reaction and walked towards his wife as he continued talking. "Why don’t you go trouble Zeke while waiting for me? It’ll be a great exercise for you. You’ve been in a deep slumber for thousands of years after all."

When Zeres didn’t respond, Alex halted and inclined his head slightly, thinking. ’It seemed I need to order Zeke to provoke Zeres for the time being,’ he thought. But then, he remembered that Zeke might no longer listen to him. Zeke had only been obeying Alex because Zeke didn’t want him to cause any trouble in the present world. Before Abi came back to his life, Alex had managed to order the stoic prince like he was his underling by threatening him. Often, Alex threatens to start a war against humans for fun or wreak havoc in the middle of a famous city and reveal his existence in the whole world. But now, Alex could no longer do that. He wouldn’t, and Zeke knows that. And that was why Zeke doesn’t even bother to appear before him anymore.

Thinking deeper, Alex narrowed his eyes, but eventually, his mischievous smirk reappeared. It seemed he had thought of an interesting idea. ’Well, well... I think this one could work,’ he muttered as if having fun before he finally reached his wife.

Abi had just pulled away from Alicia’s embrace when Alex stood right behind her. "See you soon, Abigail," the witch queen said, and once Abi nodded, she walked towards Zeres and stood beside him.

Abi smiled at Zeres, and the man nodded at her before the two witches turned and slowly disappeared from their eyes.

A long sigh escaped Abi’s lips. "I wish you two happiness," she whispered as if she wished upon a shooting star that had just appeared in the dark sky. Alex, whose eyes were glued on her face, smiled, and he gently swooped Abi in his arms.

"I didn’t bring a car, so we’re going to fly." He said, and before Abi could speak, he leaped and in not time, he quietly landed on the roof of a building. Abi’s hands were wrapped around his neck as she enjoyed the magnificent view of the city.

"Ah, I love this, Alex." Abi closed her eyes for a moment, savoring the gentle and cool breeze of the night.

"Me too, Abigail. I love you."

His words immediately opened Abi’s eyes, and her reaction made Alex chuckle. Suddenly, Abi pulled herself up and captured his lips. She slid her tongue inside his mouth and kissed him passionately.
