Hellbound With You novel Chapter 655

Chapter 655 - If only*

It was nearly dawn when a witch joined Alicia and Zeres at the top of the building.

"Find Ezekiel," Zeres ordered and the witch immediately obeyed. Alicia had agreed to leave. She had no choice but agreed because she realized Zeres wouldn’t hesitate to send his minions towards the leaving humans if she continued persisting. And even though it was hard to accept, she had also understood that she could not change his mind anymore. He had made up his mind, and no one, not even her, could do anything to stop him.

"I found him, my king." The witch said to Zeres.

"Is he alone?"

"No."

Zeres frowned. His gaze remained fixated on the part of the city where there was heavy traffic. More than half of the city seemed emptied already. It would not take long, and this city would be completely emptied. "Watch him. Tell me once he’s alone." Zeres said and the witch’s crystal ball lit up again.

The sky slowly began to color when the witch finally spoke again. "He’s finally alone, my king." She said, and after glancing at the crystal ball, Zeres sent the witch away.

He approached Alicia and then took off his coat. Without saying anything, he bent and dr.a.p.ed the coat on her before unceremoniously taking her hand. He put her arm around his neck and then lifted her with ease.

Not giving her any chance to speak, the two of them disappeared.

They materialized in the middle of an empty plaza where the city’s famous blue tower was located. Police cars were speeding in the street, checking if there were still people left behind. Zeres had already cast a spell so the humans couldn’t see them.

He put her down, but his hand was still around Alicia’s back as he gave her the time she needed to steady herself. She had grown so weak she could barely stand now. But Zeres had been quietly trying to force even a little of his energy on her by using an ancient spell only he knew about for a while now. Her body kept rejecting it, but he kept on persistently forcing it, and it somehow stopped the trembling in her knees.

Zeres’ gaze then whipped towards the empty space right in front of the tower, and a cold and dangerous gleam danced in his silver eyes.

Zeke stood there, staring back at him and wearing the same unfeeling expression Zeres knew so well.

For a long while, they stared at each other. Some kind of wordless conversation seemed to be going on between them that seemed to have turned the city’s atmosphere even heavier and chillier until Zeres was certain Alicia could now at least stand on her own.

Averting his gaze from Ezekiel, Zeres looked at Alicia. His eyes were no longer cold but still extremely alert and dangerous.

Carefully, he eased Alicia away, gently encouraging her to stand on her own.

"Go," he said as he retracted his hand off her.
