Hellbound With You

Chapter 643 Want me to try?*

Chapter 643 Want me to try?*

Outside the cavern, Alicia was sitting across Lucas as they waited for Ezekiel and the prophetess. When Ezekiel had brought her outside, Alicia wanted to protest because she also wanted to know what the prophetess would see. But she knew she didn’t have the right to object if Ezekiel didn’t want her there.

She quickly rose upon seeing the two vampires finally stepped out of the cavern. Her eyes filled with questions and desperate curiosity as she looked at Ezekiel and the prophetess.

Ezekiel stretched out his hand towards her. "We need to move now. We found where he is." He said and the moment Alicia placed her hand in his, he immediately gathered her in his arms and nodded at their comrades.

Immediately, everyone left the cavern.

"What else did she see?" Alicia asked as her arms around Zeke’s neck tightened. Their speed was so fast Alicia had to cling to him and face against the wind to speak.

When he did not respond, she bit her lower lip hard. Suddenly, she pulled away to look at him and her sudden movement caused Zeke to slow down a bit.

"Be still, Alicia." He said, but Alicia’s eyes were determined.

"Answer me. I know you are a man of secret and there are always reasons why you don’t want to speak. But this matter is beyond important to me. I am the reason why all this is happening right now, so please, tell me, Ezekiel." She begged. Not caring how she sounded and if she didn’t look and sounded like a queen anymore. Maybe because she was truly exhausted now, so exhausted she didn’t even have the strength to fake her emotions anymore. Now she knew how tough it was to act tough. It was just not possible for anyone to act tough all the time.

Ezekiel glanced at her for a moment before he returned his gaze ahead and didn’t stop his advance.

"I’ll tell you when we get there. So stay still so I could speed up." He said, and Alicia frowned at him. She didn’t want to act stubbornly, but... would this man really speak if they were with everyone? There was no way Alicia would dare beg him to talk when everyone was watching, so this was the only time for her to speak with him.

"No. I want you to tell me now, Prince Ezekiel." She demanded and finally, the prince halted just as he landed on a branch of a tall tree.

Alicia pressed her lips tight because she knew there’s a possibility that she had pissed him off, even though his expression remained unfathomable.

"I thought you’d be more obedient but it appeared you’re even more stubborn when you’re in a vulnerable state Queen Alicia." He told her.

"Well, sorry to burst your bubble then, prince. But my stubbornness is all that’s left in me right now, so if you don’t want to deal with a stubborn woman, just answer me, and I’ll shut up and be as docile as you like."

Ezekiel caught his lower lip between his perfect white teeth, smiling in what seemed to be both amusement and exasperation.

"What if I told you I don’t want to answer because I wanted to deal with a stubborn woman?" he said. Something wicked flashed in his eyes that made Alicia blinked twice.

"Wha... what did you just say?" was all she could say, completely dumbfounded with what the prince was suddenly saying. What? Did he just say he wanted to deal with a stubborn woman? This Ezekiel? No way... right?

Certain that Ezekiel was probably playing mind games with her again to divert her attention, Alicia glared at him, puffing her cheeks slightly to show him she’s not going to fall to his tricks.

"I said I think I wanted to deal with a stubborn woman right now." He repeated, causing Alicia’s lips to part in another speechless surprise. This was the kind of statement Alicia never imagined to come out in this man’s lips. What the hell’s wrong with him right now? Was this how he behaves when he’s pissed? No... don’t fall for it. This man was definitely just diverting your attention. There was no way in hell the ever so serious Ezekiel wanted to deal with a stubborn woman, especially in this dire situation!!

"Want me to try now? Alicia?" he added, and Alicia’s eyes became wide as saucer as she looked at him as though she was seeing something unbelievable. Wait... don’t tell me... was he going to just leave her in this tree?

In Alicia’s imagination, that was definitely what a man like Ezekiel would do to deal with a stubborn and annoying woman, especially one that was so weak and yet demanding.

She swallowed. Not knowing what to do now. She wanted the truth but if this man decided to leave her here, then ask the others to come back and take her... how could she handle such shame? She would also probably lose any chances of hearing what this man would say once he decided to reveal some information. Oh, no... did she make a mistake? How could she thought that she could win against this man?

Troubled and afraid that he’d really leave her, Alicia unwillingly tightened her arms around his neck. She looked at him in frustrated but controlled anger. "No... no need. Let’s go." She said as she settled her head closer to his shoulder, indicating that she’s now prepared to leave with him.

However, she felt his chest moved as if he had just laughed shortly. She immediately pulled away to look. Her eyes narrowing. "Did you just laugh at me?"

"So what if I did?" he asked instead of answering, "What did you think I would do? Did you think I’d hurt you?"

She stared at him, and a small glimmer of mischief flashed in her eyes. "You really want to know what I thought you would do? I’ll tell you, but first... tell me what the prophetess saw."
