Hellbound With You novel Chapter 640

Chapter 640 Helpless

Alicia immediately started shooting off questions at Zeke as soon as she finished her meal. Her gaze towards him was severe and impatient.

"Well? Where is Zeres?" she demanded. "When I woke up, he’s not there anymore...and not the kind that is temporary. I can feel that he is already gone away someplace... where that place is, that’s what I would like to know. I knew what he did to me last night before he left..." she trailed off, tugging her lip hard between her teeth. The image of Zeres’ body filled with horrendous wounds flashed in her head and a sickening feeling came over her once again. Alicia knew he had casted that horrible spell on her again despite her pleas before he left her, and it was obvious to her the severity of what he did this time. "He had cast the ultimate power of that spell on me so the energy I gained would be able to last me for a few days. As if... as if he’s not coming back anymore..."

Zeke said nothing and just kept his eyes on her while listening to her as he casually leaned against the wall.

"He told me that the both of you have found the cavern we were searching for all these while and we are going to attack the cavern once you’re back." She paused and swallowed. Her gaze now filled with doubts and questions. "Is that even true?"

"It’s true." He confirmed her statement and Alicia was silent for a moment, still unsure if she should be glad for that one piece of good news or doubt his words. He is not saying those words just to lull her into a false sense of security, right? Her gaze searched him thoroughly, doing her hardest to find any sign of lies in his unfathomable face.

"Then why did he leave so suddenly? Could it be that he could no longer wait and attacked the cavern by himself? And why did you need to go and fetch the prophetess? What kind of enemies are we even up against in that cavern that there is a need for you to go and get back-ups?" _{fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓}

Zeke shifted his gaze from her to the window and answered. "He already attacked the cavern by himself that night before I left." He said and Alicia’s eyes widened in shock. "As for your other three questions, I cannot answer them right now."

She clenched her fists tight, but somehow this piece of news did not come as much of a surprise to her. It was a given that it is impossible for this vampire prince to reveal everything. He always had somethings that was held back, or some kind of secret he needed to keep.

Shaking her head slightly, Alicia let out a deep breath before standing up from where she was seated. "Fine." she said, decisively. "Zeres must be in that cavern right now. We must go to his aid. Now, Ezekiel." Her tone was firm and booked no disagreements. It was now that Zeke saw how she would have been like, as the queen of the witches back when she was in her element in the Black Forest.

Without speaking anymore, she brushed past him and stepped out the room.
