Hellbound With You (WN)

Alicia ’s heartbeat hastened. Her body subconsciously froze at the sight of Zeres ’ golden eyes. She could sense a foreign and powerful aura oozing from him. He wasn ’t just a witch anymore.

But somehow, Alicia was glad because she didn ’t feel that intense fear she always felt around Alexander when his eyes turned this golden. Or maybe, was she less scared around Zeres because she was queen now? Or was it because Zeres was a witch?

Making no movement, Alicia watched him as he focused his gaze forward. She could tell that something had triggered him. Did he already sense Alexander, or was it Abi that triggered something in him, so his eyes turned golden?

Zeres moved, but Alicia was quick to block him. ”Wait, Zeres! ” she placed her hands on his chest to stop his advance. The man looked at her, his eyes still alert and the golden hue in his eyes was dancing in chaos.

”I could sense someone nearby, ” he said.

”Someone? ”

”Mm. I feel strange. I suddenly feel like my blood is boiling. Let me go see who it is. ”

He moved again, but Alicia held on to him.

”Wait. ” She told him, firmly. But this time, the man didn ’t seem to hear her and tried to dodge Alicia. Without a choice, Alicia grabbed his collars and pulled him close, forcing him to look at her. She was surprised by her own bold move. Even if Zeres was a witch, she knew he was undoubtedly like Alexander. There might be some gap in power between them, but Zeres was indeed powerful. Who knows if he would lose himself and go berserk like Alexander? And yet, here she was, grabbing a dangerous creature ’s collar like this.

”Listen to me first, Zeres. ” She pressed, trying her best to keep her calm.

The man gladly halted and stared back at her, so Alicia immediately continued. ”Whatever you will see and find out, please promise you will stay calm, okay? ” she pleaded.
