Hellbound With You novel Chapter 820

Alicia had let him put a sock on her feet, knowing the urgency in his actions. When she pushed her feet inside the shoe, Ezekiel efficiently tightened and tied up the laces. Yesterday, she was barefooted during their entire trip, so she was glad that she had something more comfortable to wear this time. She just wanted to be ready for anything that might come at them from here on out. Because she did not have any plans to just stand around and watch Ezekiel fight, all for the sake of protecting her.

"Here," he handed her a gun that he had pulled out of the bag as he stood up. Well, that was a surprise as she blinked at him. Had he read her mind that no matter what, she was no longer going to be a docile and helpless lady standing to the side anymore?

She grabbed the gun so fast as if she was afraid that he would change his mind.

"Can this gun kill vampires?" Alicia asked as she peered at him through her lashes.

"I'm not giving this to you to kill vampires, Alicia. So don't go aiming at their hearts if in case you do need to defend yourself."

"You don't want me to kill them… understood." Alicia nodded as she returned her gaze down to study the gun. Witches never use guns because they never had the need to. Their spells were more useful than guns – more powerful, faster and more accurate. Not to mention that the witches do not like the loud ricocheting noise it makes every time the gun was fired.

"I can't let you use your spells because it will only drain more power from me. I've prepared this. So… use this instead." he said as he put his hand on the doorknob, entwined his fingers with hers before he pushed open the door.

Alicia could only glance at the small but now memorable place before the door closed behind her. She silently wished that they had a bit more time to spend in there. It was such a short but wonderful slice of heaven for her.

They left the forest and within a few minutes, they were turning into a highway. Alicia kept glancing over at him, noting that Ezekiel's expression had stayed stoic and unreadable since they stepped out of that cabin.

"Where are we going this time?" Alicia asked him in a low voice. She knew he had heard her even though there was no indication that he had.

"You'll know when we get there." Was all he replied.

The sun was streaming through the window when Iryz finally woke up. She was feeling much better now. Her wounds were healing so much faster as well, and she could not help but wonder at how quick her healing is going.
