Hellbound With You novel Chapter 747

Chapter 747 - Scent

Some time ago…

Since the moment Zeres left, Iryz began to moan in her sleep. She started having a nightmare the instant Zeres had put her to sleep with his spell.

For a long while, she continued tossing and turning about on her bed, moaning out some gibberish and sweating hard. After a few minutes of what seemed like an extreme and horrible nightmare, something like reddish smoke appeared all over her, enveloping her body. Then her nightmare somehow was stopped.

She then suddenly rose from her bed as if being jolted awake. Her eyes were opened, but they were fixed on a single spot, right in front of her. She climbed off the bed and started walking decisively, leaving her room and headed to a particular destination. Her eyeballs never moving from left to right at all and yet her feet did not stumble even as she walked down the stairs.

When she was out of the main door, Iryz halted for a while before her feet moved again, seemingly knowing where it should be taking her to. She walked straight ahead of the empty street as though she was following something or someone that was calling out for her.

Time ticked by and her small back could no longer be seen from the bookstore's main door. Zeres arrived after a few more minutes and searched for her quickly inside the house.

"Iryz?!" his voice echoed once again as he rushed outside the house and looked around, calling out to see if perhaps she was around.

He gritted his teeth as worry and anger flashed across his silver orbs. He could not help but think that someone might have taken her away and his blood boiled within his veins just by the thought of it. No! Over his dead body! That girl was his only hope in saving Alicia right now! She was the only lead he has in obtaining the spell to resurrecting Alicia! He would kill anyone who tries to take her away!

Not caring if someone sees him, Zeres uttered a spell to trace her scent. Unlike vampires who could trace someone's scent by smelling them, Zeres could trace someone just by using his eyes because he had the unique ability of being able to see someone's scent.

As soon as magic glowed in his eyes, he began to see remnants of something red lingering in the air. This meant that it had not been long since Iryz was gone!

Without wasting a second longer, Zeres followed the trail of the reddish thin wisp of smoke. He knew that this was definitely from Iryz. He moved as fast as he could, and to his relief, he managed to catch up to the girl faster than he had expected.

He saw her walking along the sidewalk, and he gritted his teeth in anger as he approached her, intending to give her a scolding for simply walking off without informing him or others about it. But he stopped three steps away from her at the realization that the way she walked was a little strange. It seemed as though she was not walking with consciousness.
