Hellbound With You novel Chapter 692

Chapter 692 I know

Just after asking his question, Zeres suddenly appeared before all of them. Alex was surprised, seeing that Zeres had actually came out and was now looking a little less broken than how he was when he disappeared with Alicia’s dead body earlier on. Though he still looked wretched, somehow, there were little signs of him showing some life within those deep eyes again. What had happened? Something major must have transpired for this kind of change to occur in him. And Alex hoped that it was a really good something.

The thought that this man had just found out something he needed to fulfil came to Alex’s mind. He was all too familiar with the kind of pain Zeres was going through right now and Alex remembered the past again. He remembered that after he had buried Abigail’s body, he too, went to fulfil her last wish and that was to kill Lexus. If not for his pain of losing her driving him on that time, Alex thought it might not be possible for a mortal like him to kill the dragon back then. His pain had driven him to do the extreme and he only continued living and fighting because of that one purpose.

Looking at Zeres now, Alex suspected that the same thing must be happening to him now. He seemed to have snapped out of his despair much quicker than he had ever expected.

"Zeres..." Alex approached him but before he could speak any further, Zeres’ hoarse voice echoed.

"I need all of you to leave the forest now." He said, rendering the vampires gathered there speechless. "Don’t worry. I’m not going to do anything anymore." The weariness in his voice was apparent and though his eyes were still cold and a little lifeless, Alex could tell that he was not telling a lie and that he meant what he said.

"You’re saying that... you’re not going to try and die anymore?" Alex spelled it out clearly to double check, just to make sure if what he heard was right.

Zeres’ stared back at Alex for a long time before nodding without any hint of hesitation in his eyes. "Yes. You heard me right." He confirmed and everyone fell silent again.

Now this was unexpected! What a twist. Alex thought. Because he knew that Zeres had truly made his decision. No matter how unbelievable it was, he just knew that this man would never lie about something like this just to send them away.

"Mind telling us why you finally decided to stop now?" Ezekiel’s deep voice echoed suddenly, and everyone’s eyes flew towards him. He met Zeres’ gaze and continued. "Is it because of Alicia?"

Another long silence reigned between them as Zeres and Zeke stared into each other’s eyes. No one could tell what silent communication was made between the two as their silence stretched for a while longer.
