Hellbound With You novel Chapter 916

Chapter 916 A little scared

That afternoon, Alex and the others had worked on to clear the castle. Because tonight, no one will be present within the vicinity of the Blackshire Hill, where the Reigns Castle stood. Not even the most trusted servants or the royal guards or even any other members of the royal family themselves. The only ones who are allowed to be present in the castle tonight were Zeke, Alicia, Zeres, Alex, Lilith, the prophetess, Abigail, Kyle, Kai and Lucas.

Alicia and Zeke were currently in Abi and Alex's chambers, watching over the twins while everyone else were outside, busy preparing everything as Zeke had instructed them earlier. Zeres and Lilith were also busy with the ritual preparations for Alicia.

So right now, the couple was alone together again. Each of them was holding a little bundle of joy in their arms.

"He doesn't seem to want to go to sleep," Zeke commented, looking down expressionlessly at Alexis in his arms. The baby's large pair of bright grey eyes were gazing up at Zeke.

Alicia smiled. Alice, being the good little princess she was, was already fast asleep in her arms.

"Why don't you sing him a lullaby then?" Alicia suggested to her husband in a soft voice. Her eyes gleamed in excitement at the thought that she might get to hear him sing again.

Seeing Alicia's highly expectant expression, Zeke glanced down at Alexis before asking. "What song do you want me to sing?"

"Hmm… I think that song 'Somewhere over the rainbow' is perfect for a lullaby." Alicia grinned, wanting to hear such a sweet tone being sang by her husband's cello-like voice. Though she did not know how it would be, one thing she knew was Zeke always does things perfectly and wonderfully. Thus, she was anticipating it very much and was almost giddy with excitement. The only reason she was not showing it outwardly was due to not wanting to accidentally awaken little Alice who was sleeping so soundly.

After holding Alicia's gaze for a while, Zeke cleared his throat and then shifted a little in his seat.

The next moment, his voice echoed inside the room. Such sweet song being sung with his deep and rich voice just sounded shockingly different from the last time she heard him sing. It had caused goosebumps to prickle all over her arm and yet it felt so soothing... touching and just so good.

The entire time, Alicia never took her eyes off him. She relaxed at the sound of his voice. To her, his voice was like magic. It seeped through her very soul and made everything just feel so magical. She would never get tired of hearing that voice of his. Never.

As he sang the last line, Alexis had finally closed his eyes and willingly drifted off to sleep.
