Hellbound With You (WN)

Abigail ran after him again but Alex continued to leap away not letting her come even within a meter of him.

”Listen to me, Abigail! I am dangerous to you right now! Please, ” his voice thundered.

She stopped. She could tell that he was serious but she could also see that his body was trembling. She couldn ’t help it. All she wanted was to go to him and hug the pain away, like she had done for him so many times before.

Abi bit her lips hard. She felt like crying again as she clenched her fists tight and despite his serious warning, she charged towards him again. However, someone suddenly appeared right before her, blocking her way.

”Move away, Zeke, ” Abi told Zeke, anger mixed with pain burning in her throat.

”Calm down, Abigail. This is serious. ” Zeke ’s gaze was sharp as he glanced at her. ”You don ’t want to add to his guilt if he somehow hurts you again. ”

Abi was silenced, utterly confused. She was about to ask when Zeke turned to Alex. ”When was the last time you drank blood, Alex? ”

Zeke ’s question made Abi realize one thing. Alex was a half vampire but she never saw him drink blood even once. She had seen him eat a very little amount of human food before he left her but since she met him again she hadn ’t seen him eat, not even a little. What had he been eating until now? Was he drinking blood in secret?

”Don ’t tell me you haven ’t had a meal since that ball? ” Zeke added when Alex didn ’t respond. His question shocked Abi. Since that ball? Since the night they saw each other again?!

Shocked, Abi finally looked more closely at him and she finally realized that it wasn ’t just the color in his eyes that changed. She saw that scorching hunger and it was different from the hunger he showed her when he wanted to make love to her. This was different. And it seemed that it took most of his strength to stop himself from acting on it and that was why his body trembled.
