Hellbound With You (WN)

The next day, Alex left the Dark Dragon Hills.

He knew that it would be hard for him to go. He looked back so many times before he was able to finally leave. In just a month, he had grown so attached to this place. No, it wasn ’t this place that he couldn ’t leave, it was her. It fascinated him how quickly his world had changed. He hadn ’t even gone that far from her yet and he already wanted to go back.

He looked back at the Dark Dragon Hills from afar once again, pressing his lips tight.

”I ’ll be back as soon as possible, Abigail. Wait for me, ” he mumbled to himself before he leapt away, moving fast. The quicker he finished this, the quicker he would be back.

The sun was setting when he finally arrived in front of an enormous and gothic-looking palace. This was the great palace where he grew up. The place that he was supposed to call home, the place he was supposed to belong.

As he stood there, he realized just how distant this place was to him. There were no pleasant memories that he could remember from being in this place. Nothing at all.

The young man remembered what the soldiers told him – that the king was ill – so he went straight to the king ’s chamber. Vampires didn ’t fall ill like humans. To them, the word ’ill ’ meant finally getting weaker because of reaching the age limit. The king was already 900 years old and it seemed that this was his personal limit. Once a vampire started to weaken, he would start to grow old and eventually die like a human.

When he entered his father ’s chamber, he was surprised to see that the news was true. The almighty, ice cold demon king that he had left nearly a month ago was now lying on the bed looking frail and weak, but the coldness and heartlessness in his eyes didn ’t change, not even a little. There was just no warmth in them and Alexander wondered if there ever had been.

He was surrounded by his loyal men, looking as if they were really waiting for him.

”You ’re finally here, my son, ” the vampire king said. His words made young Alex halt in shocked surprise.
