PHYSIENTS WILL ALWAYS OFFER BEST STORIES AND LIVE STREAMING ALL TIME
Chapter 601 Officially mine
The priest was extremely hesitant to make a move. There was an obvious doubtful look plastered all over his face but when he turned to look at the bride and saw the apparent excitement, pure happiness and unbridled eagerness that were overflowing from her expressive eyes, the priest could not help but heave a big sigh. He could only do what was due to him. "Are you absolutely certain about this, Miss Young? I –"
"Very. Very, utterly, completely certain, sir." Kelly’s immediate response with all the superlatives almost made the priest laugh out aloud right on the spot and with that last doubt dispelled, he finally relented.
As the ceremony started, Kelly’s heart was thumping so loudly in her chest. She couldn’t deny that she was somewhat agitated and restless. She was nervous that her father’s voice would suddenly crash through this dream-come-true for her with a bang and ruin both their magical moment. However, as she looked at Kai, Kelly’s heart just began to feel like somehow and someway, everything was going to be all right in the end. It was amazing how he could calm her so easily, without doing anything or saying a single word to ease her troubled heart and mind.
But despite the calmness Kai had inspired in her, Kelly couldn’t stop herself from making little hand gestures in urging the priest to hasten the proceedings. Her request made the priest blink while Kai leaned in on her slightly with a smile and whispered, "Relax, my bride."
"But I can’t help it. I... I..."
"Can no longer wait?"
"Yes. I can’t wait anymore."
The priest cleared his throat, while sporting a slight blush, looking as though he was trying to stop himself from smiling. The couple didn’t notice it because their eyes were locked onto each other, but they missed how the priest had thrown a furtive glance at Kelly’s father. Knowing what kind of situation this couple before him was in at that moment, the priest finally nodded and gave in. He could see the remarkable love in both the bride and groom’s eyes, and he didn’t wish for anyone to ruin their holy union.
And thus, to everyone’s surprise, including the bride and groom, the priest went on in haste, as requested, and in what seemed to be just a few moments, it was already time for them to recite their wedding vows.
"Kelly Young, do you take Skyler Qinn to be your lawful husband, to have and to hold, for better or for worse, for as long as you both shall live?"
"I do!" Kelly exclaimed with a wide and emotional smile.
"Skyler Qinn, do you take Kelly Young to be your lawful wedded wife, to have and to hold, for better or for worse, for as long as you both shall live?"
"I do." Kai replied immediately as he gazed deeply into Kelly’s eyes.
"With the power vested in me, I now pronounce you, husband and wife. Skyler, you may now kiss –"
The priest was not even given the chance to even finish his sentence because the bride had surprisingly made her move in advance and kissed the groom. The audience’s eyes widened, including the priest, but after a second, they all cheered happily for the newlyweds. Some of the older guests were chuckling amongst themselves and shaking their heads as they witnessed the enthusiasm of the new wife.
Everyone was in awe. They had just witnessed a real shotgun wedding and they all thought it was utterly exciting. Every single one of the guests were convinced and had the same thoughts that this wedding would probably go down in history, as the most unforgettable wedding of the century from all that they have witnessed earlier.
"Kai... Oh god, I can’t believe you’re my husband now." Kelly said when their lips parted. The world around them had become a blur and they could no longer hear anything but each other’s voice.
"Yes. You’re my wife now, Kelly." Kai uttered and this time, he was the one who kissed her. They kissed for a long time that they were breathless when their lips parted.
"My wife... princess or piggy?" he asked playfully and Kelly’s eyes glimmered as she laughed and slapped him playfully on his arm, remembering that time when he asked her this before.
"What do you think I’ll choose, huh? Hubby?"
Without answering, Kai lifted his wife princess style and stepped down from the stage. Kelly caught her mom and she nearly burst into tears when she saw her radiant smiling face. She never thought that her mother would actually looked pleased and smiling as though she was happy for her. Kelly even blink as if to confirm if what she saw was real.
When her mother nodded at her Kelly smiled. She was so happy that her mother seemed to finally approved of her choice. Kelly dragged her gaze towards her father and her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Standing majestically next to her father was Abi and Alexander. It was pretty obvious that Alexander was there to stop her father from doing anything – stupid and unwanted, that is. And she couldn’t help but feel her heart being overwhelmed and overflowing with emotions.
"Oh my god!" Kelly could no longer stop her tears of joy and a few teardrops fall from her eyes. "Thank you," Kelly uttered under her breath and Abi winked at her as though she had heard her. She even gestured a good luck sign towards her before Kai finally whisked her swiftly out of the church building.
A helicopter was already idling outside the church, waiting for them.
"Did Abi and Alexander come with you?" Kelly asked as they approached the helicopter.
"Yes. They tagged along."
"Damn. You’re so..." she trailed off, unable to speak anymore because of all the emotions and adrenaline so she just hugged him tight.
Kai kissed her head and proceeded to climb into the helicopter before helping Kelly in after him. Like a koala, Kelly clung tightly onto Kai as the helicopter ascended.
Lifting her face to face him, Kai wiped the remnants of her tears that was still decorating her cheek. "You’re my wife now, Kelly. You’re officially mine now." It came out as a small possessive growl that did things to her insides. His eyes glimmered with overflowing emotions.
"I have always been yours, Kai. I love you. Thank you for saving me. I love you. My husband. I will love you forever." As soon as she said those words, her lips met his passionately and devoured Kai’s mouth. Her wild mouth nearly kicked Kai’s sanity out of the window. Thankfully, Kai managed to stopped her.
"Please wait a little longer until we land, my dear wife. I’m afraid, our pilot will end up crashing this helicopter if we..." he trailed off as Kelly bit her lip, flushing red at the realization that someone else was also with them, witnessing that little hot scene earlier.
"Where are we going?" she asked, trying to distract herself from jumping him – again.
"Taking you on a honeymoon." He replied as he flashed her a seductive grin, yet again causing her brain to overheat and malfunction.

Chapter 602 Honeymoon Part I *
The helicopter then landed at a certain white beach far from the island where they wedded. This island was bigger than the one owned by the Youngs, and Kelly, of course, knew who owned this beautiful piece of land. Ezekiel Qinn owned it.
Kelly was still in Kai’s arms as he walked away from the helicopter. When Kelly looked ahead, she noticed that petals were scattered on the white sand creating a path.
"Oh my!" Kelly gasped in surprise. Her smile widened, seeing the romantic setting. She didn’t expect something like this since she knew that their wedding was not planned.
"Abigail and Alex prepared this," Kai said suddenly, probably noticing the curiosity in Kelly’s eyes. "They both came and told me that Mr. Young had taken you away from their house this dawn. When I told them about my plan of crashing the wedding, they both supported me. But then, after I dealt with Tristan and headed to the island, they just disappeared on me. I didn’t know where they went. It appeared they were here all along, preparing the venue. Alex told me that this is their gift to us."
Kelly couldn’t help but feel touched. Her best friend was really the best friend she ever had.
"We’re blessed because you have amazing brothers, and I have an amazing best friend."
"Yes."
"Damn, they’re so sweet."
"They are." Kai agreed, and Kelly grasped Kai tighter around the neck and lift her lips to his.
"But to me, you’re still the sweetest, darling. I love you," she whispered against his lips, and before they knew it, they were kissing passionately - the hot, exciting waft of their breaths filling each other’s mouth.
"Kai..." Kelly uttered, her hand reaching naughtily for the buttons of Kai’s shirt without breaking their first wild and passionate kiss as a married couple. She seemed to have forgotten that they were still on the beach.
Kai groaned as he felt her warm hands already roaming around his torso. And then, all of a sudden, he lifted her again. But this time, he didn’t walk anymore. He leaped with her in his arms, and in just a few moments, they landed on the veranda of a stunning villa.
Petals were also scattered on the veranda’s floor as though someone had predicted that Kai wouldn’t enter the house through the door. "They knew you’re not going to enter through the door," Kelly chuckled as Kai finally put her down. But she didn’t remove her arms on his neck, and impatiently, she rammed her lips on his again, not letting him speak at all.
Another helpless groan vibrated through Kai’s throat that made Kelly smiled. "You are driving me insane, Kelly." He uttered in a husky voice as his hands grabbed her hips and pulled her close against him. And then, he hugged her, so very tight as his lips kissed the hollow below her ear.
But then, suddenly, he pulled away and held her shoulders at arm’s length. His temples were already wet with sweat, but he was fighting his desire so well.
Before Kelly could ask what was wrong, he spoke. "I’m sorry. I should be asking you if you’re alright, first," he asked worriedly as his gaze searched her.
She blinked at him. "Huh? I am fine –"
"They didn’t do anything to you, right? I was so worried when I heard your father take you away. I was worried you’ve fought him, and he’d end up doing..." he paused, and, realizing what he was trying to say, Kelly lifted her hand and touched his cheek gently. It pained her that she had made this man worry for her like this.
"I am fine, Kai. Why don’t we go inside so you can check every part of my body yourself?" she asked, and though she didn’t intend to tell him that to seduce him, Kai swallowed, and the worry in his eyes was immediately replaced with fiery desire.
He flushed, and Kelly marveled at the sight of this gorgeous man’s reddened face. His grey eyes were fierce and hot on Kelly’s face that the world seemed to turn many degrees hotter. Thrilled and seduced, Kelly could no longer wait, and she grabbed her husband’s hand and dragged him inside the villa. She followed the petals on the floor, and at last, they reached the door of a certain room.
When Kelly opened it, she couldn’t help but bite her lower lip. The bed was decorated with red petals. There was also wine prepared on the table. It was beautiful and romantic. She couldn’t ask for more.
She whipped towards Kai, and he had an interesting expression as his gaze settle on the bed filled with petals. Kelly yanked him, causing him to turn back his eyes on her. She tiptoed as if to kiss him, but to Kai’s dismay, she didn’t. She simply rubbed their noses as she pushed him back until they reached the bed, and Kelly pushed him down.
Kai looked up as he sat at the edge of the bed. Their eyes met, and Kai could only swallow again when she backed away from him.
"You want to check my body, right? My darling?" she asked in a seductive voice, and she started to undress in front of him.
When her wedding dress hit the floor, Kai inhaled sharply. She wasn’t even fully naked yet, and he was already reacting. Kelly always loved Kai’s reaction in every little thing she does.
"Do you believe now?" she asked him, naughtily, and as she reached for her panties, Kai lost it and he stood and grabbed her, lifting her from the circle of the discarded white dress.
There was a glitter of devil’s fire in his eyes as he stared at her before he devoured her mouth. His hand impatiently took off her bra, and when his hands moved to her panties, she heard the sound of ripping fabric. Kelly’s eyes widened slightly and then smiled as she felt her panties slid down between her legs.
He gripped her hips, and as her breast crashed against him, a sudden rush of sensation made Kelly’s breathing became even harsher.

Chapter 603 Honeymoon Part II *
The next moment, she was on the bed, fully naked and surrounded by red petals. The vivid red petals were a beautiful contrast against her smooth white skin.
"God, you’re so beautiful..." he uttered. His voice incredibly deep and filled with nothing but love and lustful desire. His gaze never left her as he stripped with urgency.
It didn’t take long, and he stood before her naked. Despite seeing his nude perfection many times before, Kelly couldn’t help but still worship every part of him. From his gorgeous face to the sleek, tightly muscled surface of his torso, and then down to his... ah... she couldn’t stop herself from licking her lips as her insides began to ache and quiver in need at the sight of his mighty sword. She wanted him inside her so bad even though they had just done it yesterday. She really, crazily craved for this man now.
While Kai was standing there, slowly touching his hardness as he looked at her, Kelly’s desire for him heightened to an excruciating degree. He seemed to be savoring the sight of her lying on top of the petals. She could see the look in his eyes, and he was worshipping her body the same way she worshipped his. But Kelly could no longer bear it, so she moved, planning to grab him. But Kai didn’t even let her sit.
He was suddenly on top of her, pinning her down. His hands were holding her wrists gently against the mattress as he looked down at her.
"Don’t... my wife..." he whispered huskily as he bent and showered kisses on her face. "Please let me... this time... It’s my turn to make you feel good." He added, and Kelly felt utterly thrilled and aroused. She always loved it when this man showed her his beastly side in bed. She loved the gentle and submissive Kai, but she also loved it when he’s dominant.
She nodded as she moaned in anticipation, and his mouth was on her breast before she knew it, sucking her greedily as though he had been so starved for her. His lips soft and warm against her skin as his hands roamed around her possessively.
After devouring her breast and making Kelly whimper and moaned beneath him, Kai then pushed her thighs wide. His lips abandoned her breast and moved downwards.
When he reached her sex, he didn’t waste a moment and kissed her tenderly at first, licking, circling, and drawing lightly before he hastened his pace and devoured her ravenously. Kelly gasped at the sudden change of pace, and he grabbed his hair. Her scandalous moans had started to fill the room.
"Ah, god... Kai... I can’t..." Kelly strained beneath him, and he slowed down again. It was like the sudden strong wind became a mere breeze. "No... don’t stop... please." She uttered in dismay. "Please, I’m wet enough, Kai. Take me, now. Inside me, please." She pleaded, and Kai looked up. His eyes were so damned vivid and deep. The way he looked at her that moment made him looked even hotter and irresistible.
His hand landed gently over her stomach and rubbed her there in soothing circles as his hypnotic sexy voice echoed. "Patience, my wife. We’re on honeymoon. We can take our ti –"
"Oh no. I can’t wait anymore, husband." She complained as she grabbed his hand and weakly pulled him.
But Kai didn’t budge and chuckled softly instead against her sex. Kelly shivered at the sensation of his breath and laughter. "Oh god, kai... I can’t bear much more of this."
The beast didn’t listen, but he did resume his ravenous pace as he continued licking over her before his tongue entered inside her, lewd and deep, until she was breathing love words and screaming his name.
And then, finally, Kai moved upward and seized her mouth. His hardness hot and hard against her, and she voluntarily spread her legs to welcome him inside. When he entered her in a thick slide, Kelly gasped and then moaned at the incredible feeling of him finally filling her again.
He paused, staring down at her with dilated eyes. "I love you, Kelly." He uttered, and Kelly’s hands reached out for him.
"I love you too... very much..." She pulled him into her as she arched her hips to meet his thrust, causing Kai to close his eyes and quiver in pleasure.
He lifted her head and clenching her hair, he kissed her again, wildly and almost desperately.
"More." she moaned against his lips as her fingers linking behind his neck. "Please." Gasping, she arched to take him deeper, harder.
Kelly began to clutch at his hair hard, too impassioned to be gentle. Her legs wrapped around his waist as her insides quivered and clenched and tightened around his hardness with ravenous greed.
"Ugh! Kelly!" he growled. His handsome face was ravaged by extreme lust and desire that was flooding them both.
He continued his onslaught until his steady hard thrusts brought her to the edge of release when he suddenly withdrew and turned her over, surprising Kelly once again. Oh my...
"May I?" he whispered in haste as his body covered her. "I won’t hurt you... this will –"
"Yes. Yes. Take me!" Kelly could no longer take it, and she lifted her buttocks as she gracelessly uttered her answer. She was dying for him to go back inside her and fill the sudden emptiness.
Kai’s eyes glimmered at her enthusiastic approval, and the next moment, he was sliding impossibly deep inside her. He growled as he hit her deepest part and felt her shudder uncontrollably every time he thrusts. Their flesh slamming against each other echoed inside the room with their moans and groans. They were so damn wild they almost couldn’t breathe because of the intense pleasure. She had possessed him, and he had possessed her, wholly.
"Ah, Kelly!" he said in a guttural whisper as his thrusts from behind her came even harder, deeper, thicker. "I’m..."
Instinct took over, and Kelly’s hips moved on their own until her thighs began to clenched. She fisted in the mattress as Kai’s jaw and neck taut with strain. And then, with one last thrust, he started coming, spurting hot and hard inside her as Kelly clamped tightly around him, squeezing him harder than ever before.

Chapter 604 Honeymoon Part III
Completely limp from the intensity of their love making, the newlyweds took minutes, just lying there basking in the aftermath and catching their breaths before either of them spoke.
"I can’t believe you’re such a beast." She chuckled softly. They were still wrapped around each other, unwilling to part.
The villa was so quiet and calm that the both of them could feel nothing but peace just being there. Kai stared down at her, his eyes glimmering in his flushed face. "You don’t like it?" he asked playfully, despite knowing full well that his wife loved his roughness and wildness in bed. Her moans and erotic pleas to ravage her harder and deeper was still resoundingly fresh in his mind and he just felt incredibly pleased and could not help but sensed within himself the renewed twinges of arousal once again.
"Do I look like I don’t like it?"
He shook his head as he smiled at her in a way that almost made her heart stop. Kelly returned his smile and then nuzzled herself closer to him, hugging him even tighter in the process. They were silent once again, both listening to each other’s heartbeats – revelling in the simple fact that they are both alive, well and together, in the way that mattered most.
Kelly began to recall everything that happened – before, during and after the wedding, their honeymoon – when suddenly, Tristan’s unpleasant face popped up in her mind, causing her to grimace and Kai arched his brows at her unexpected reaction. She didn’t know why but a chill went through her just thinking about him.
"What happened to Tristan?" she asked, as a response to Kai’s silent questioning. She then felt Kai’s body tensed up and bristle a little. It seemed he didn’t like hearing Tristan’s name voiced out from her lips. Seeing Kai’s reaction, Kelly felt slightly regretful as well, knowing that by the mere mention of that bastard’s name was enough to ruin their peaceful moment. However, she needed to know. She wanted to know if everything was truly alright now. She threw Kai an apologetic smile and shrugged her bare shoulders, hoping he would understand the reason she needed to ask that necessary question.
Thankfully, Kai willingly spoke after a few moments. He told her everything that happened last night. How he kidnapped Tristan and forced him to give up his rights and shares in the Young’s company. He also revealed to her that he used a scandalous information, that Ezekiel gave him, to blackmail Tristan.
Kelly was surprised because she knew how the Flynns deal with things when it is related to business. They were extremely careful, and they could also be described as perfectionists. That was why the Flynns’ records were as white as snow – up till now, at least – despite all the dirty things they’ve been doing in the shadows. But then again, Kelly understood that there was no way any human could hide anything from a superior creature like Ezekiel. He would know anyone’s deepest secret and use it against them. And even if he did not already know, it would be as easy as pie for him to find out all he needed to know.
"I threatened him to never cross paths with you or me or your parents ever again. But knowing him, he might continue his investigation." Kai continued.
"Investigation?"
"He is trying to dig into my background and my relationship with Zeke. I threatened him to stop because if he continues... Zeke will definitely deal with him. But it seems like he does not intend to heed any of my warnings. If he managed to find out something about the vampires, he’ll die."
Kelly was silent. The bastard was an awful monster, but she didn’t wish for him to be killed. She was thinking that maybe in the future, he’ll change or regret his actions. However, Kai was right, knowing what kind of person Tristan was, it might already be too late and hopeless for him.
A long sigh escaped Kelly’s lips. Now that she was certain Tristan was no longer a threat in her life, Kelly felt relieved. But then, suddenly, another important thing popped into her head again. "How about your family?" she asked, wide-eyed as she pulled away to look at him. "D-did they even know what you did? That you got married..." Kelly trailed off as she covered her lips with her palm.
She had forgotten that this man was a prince. A second-in-line to the throne of the whole vampire kingdom. Did they agree with Kai’s decision to marry a human?! Could it be that they don’t even know?
Seeing the odd expression on his face, Kelly stared at him intently before she sat up. She couldn’t help but feel a little anxious because of the look in his eyes.
"Tell me," she whispered, and she saw hesitation in his body language as he sat up as well. "I want to know everything, Kai. I’m your wife now..." she urged again as her hand slipped around the nape of his neck.
"Did they even know that you married me? They knew, right? Everything’s going to be fine, right Kai?" She added a wavery smile on top of her already weak voice. Kelly didn’t know why but her heart began to feel something unpleasant.
Kai stared into her eyes, feeling her warm touches and despite his worry and hesitation, he could no longer withhold anything from her. He was worried to death about her reaction, but he knew she had the right to know everything as his wife. More so, she was intricately involved in it.
"Kelly... I’m..." he paused, taking her hand and rubbed it softly against his cheek. "They already knew."
She should’ve let out a relieved sigh, but she didn’t. For some reason she couldn’t – especially when he said it in that tone. So, she just looked at him, waiting for him to tell her more.
"My family are against it, but they could no longer do anything about it so..." he paused again, as he carefully watched her expressions. "They exiled me."
The shock was too much that Kelly couldn’t even gasp. Utter disbelief simply filled her eyes.
"It’s alright, love. Being exiled is not a big problem for me. The truth is... I personally think that it was the best course of action. Zeke gave me all the things he had left behind in this country so –"
"W-why? Why did they have to exile you? Y-you’re a prince. You’re their family."
Kai swallowed silently seeing the look on Kelly’s eyes. He could see she was hurting for him. Her eyes began to glimmer with tears threatening to fall so he eased back onto the bed and drew her down into his warm embrace, giving comfort to both himself and her as well.
"Shhh..." He tightened his arms around her. "Hush, my wife. It’s alright. You are my family now. And yes, they exiled me but they’re still my family and I honestly don’t think I’m an exile at all. Because you are my home now, Kelly. Exile or not doesn’t matter to me, as long as I’m with you."
What he said made Kelly’s heart feel so full, it was as if her heart would burst. She could hear his heartbeat and she felt utterly moved. She should’ve known. Their relationship was forbidden after all... of course, he must have had to sacrifice something huge in exchange...
"I love you, Kelly. Please know that I had never regretted anything... and I never will." He kissed her forehead and Kelly cupped his face and planted her lips on his, transmitting with everything that she had, all the passion and love she felt for her husband right at that moment. She made a silent vow deep within herself that she would love this man all her life. She would take care of him, please him, love him with everything she had.
"I love you, too, my husband... thank you for choosing me. I love you so much."
Before they knew it, the couple were again entwined in another intense love making session once again with Kelly being the one on top this time as she rode her husband with an intensity she never had before...
Not knowing that her beloved still withheld one more secret he had yet to reveal.
__________
Chapter 605 With you Part I
The couple quickly went to sleep after their latest round of intense exercise. When Kelly opened her eyes, it was already dark. She blinked and quietly rolled on the bed. But when she realized that she was the only one on the bed, she rose in panic, looking around for Kai.
Her eyes widened. She had always dreaded waking up when they slept together because in the few times that it had happened before, she always... always found out that he’s already gone every time she wakes up.
Kelly’s heart hammered inside her and she quickly climbed off the bed. Desperation and panic overwhelmed her as she scrambled out of the room to look for him. She wanted to call out his name, but her throat just would not seem to cooperate, and she could not find her voice.
After running down the stairs as if the house were on fire, Kelly immediately reached the villa’s living room. Her eyes searched around and when she couldn’t find him inside, her eyes flew towards the entrance door. She was about to rush out the door when a delicious aroma wafted over and tickled her nostrils.
That made her halt in her mad dash immediately as she whipped her body towards the source of the scent. Her eyes widened as she recognized and ran towards the door that she knew leads to the dining room.
She stood just inside the door, frozen, as she stood there staring as Kai was standing right there, preparing something on the table. The next second, she ran to him and slammed into him, hugging him as tightly as she could from behind.
Kai had sensed her presence just a while ago, but he was surprised at her sudden actions and the tightness of her arms around him. He could also sense the fear emanating from her trembling body. "Are you okay? What’s wrong? Did you have a nightmare?" he asked, worried, as he turned to face her.
Kelly shook her head and just buried her face on his hard chest, breathing in his unique scent that helped her calm her overstrung nerves. "I thought you’re gone again. I was so scared when I woke up alone on the bed." She confessed. Her voice tight and emotional.
His hands landed on her head and back and he stroked her gently. "I’m sorry for scaring you." he uttered, and he cupped her face to make her look at him. "I’m here. I will never leave you again. I’m your husband and you’re my home now, Kelly."
What he said made Kelly’s body finally relaxed and she kissed him. That was right... this man was hers now... completely hers now!
Kai sighed in relief when he could feel Kelly’s body relaxing in his arms and her expression became better. He then made her sit and paused at the realization that his wife was wearing nothing but his shirt that he made her put on after cleaning her body. He cleared his throat and reddened before he quickly stood and brought his attention back to feeding her, knowing that she was exhausted and hungry.
While the two of them enjoyed their dinner, Kelly took pleasure in watching him, eating with him. She couldn’t help but smile because of the near-magical atmosphere that his presence had created for her.
After their pleasant dinner, Kelly found herself sitting on Kai’s lap. As she watched him a while ago, Kelly was entertaining the thoughts on how her husband was such a wicked appetizer. While watching him eat made Kelly think of one thing the whole time, ’when did eating became intimate?!’.
She scolded herself for being so naughty and tried reigning in her cravings but in the end, she just couldn’t go against her desires. With her legs parted and straddling him, Kelly naughtily ran her fingers through his thick hair.
"When we return, what do you want to do?" she asked him a serious question despite feeling his hardness already hitting her down there.
Kai who hadn’t resisted or protested with all his wife’s naughtiness tilted his head. "Continue doing my duties as your husband, of course." He smiled and Kelly smiled wide as she snickered at his response. "How about you?"
"I’ll do my duty as your wife, of course."
The two of chuckled and kissed each other and passion filled the atmosphere again. But Kai broke the kiss just as Kelly was beginning to rub herself against him.
"Shall we go for a walk?" Kai asked, causing Kelly to blink. But then, she ground downwards on him with increasing demand, making him groan and then smiled innocently as she pulled away again.
"Kelly... easy, my wife." he urged in amusement.
"What. You’re tired? Or, you have had enough of me already?" the naughty vixen licked her lips sexily and Kai nearly stood and swept all the plates on the table aside to devour her right then and there. But he held himself back with an iron will and pinched her cheek instead.
"Do I look like I’ve had enough of you?"
"Hmm..." Kelly acted like she was thinking. And then, with a wicked smile, she circled her buttocks as if to provoke the raging beast that had been so eager for a while now. "At least, this beast down there knows explicitly well it still hasn’t had enough."
He nodded shamelessly.
"Then why you’re trying to stop me?" Kelly raised a brow.
"Because I needed to tell you something important first."
When his expression became grave, Kelly blinked and stopped grinding herself on him. Her eyes now filled with curiosity.
"Okay." Her voice was no longer erotic. "But afterwards, it’s back to bed, mister."
Kai chuckled in amusement and desire. "Yes. We can do it till morning if you want."
"That’s not a bad idea." She agreed with a smug smile and they laughed again.
Kai grabbed his robe and with Kelly in his arms, he leapt with her and landed on the beach.

Chapter 606 With you Part II
"Wear this, I can’t let you catch a cold." Kai attempted to drape the robe around her, but Kelly protested.
"But it’s not cold."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, my love. It’s not cold. You’re the cold one so you wear it instead." Kelly said sarcastically and she draped the robe on him.
Afterwards, Kelly faced him and looked deeply into his eyes. "So? What is it?" she asked.
Kai stared back at her and after a short moment of silence, he took her hand and lead her closer to the water. Small waves lapped at their bare feet as they walked hand in hand along the shoreline.
They stopped and looked at the softly shining moonlight. The world was so quiet and tranquil at that moment, it felt like they were the only ones in the world. This place was truly a paradise for them.
Feeling Kai’s grip tightening on her hand, Kelly dragged her gaze away from the moon and looked at her husband. He looked so handsome with his dishevelled hair and she couldn’t help but tiptoe to land a deep kiss on his lips. They kissed passionately for a long time as the waves crashed at their feet and the moonlight caressed their skin. She could hear his heartbeat and the love in his kisses and touches.
When their lips parted, Kelly caught his face and bumped her forehead against his lightly. "Would you... would you still love me even when I grow old and grey?"
Her question seemed to not only surprise Kai but Kelly, herself as well. She had thought about this issue multiple times before, but she never thought she would ask him this.
The fire between them was quickly extinguished by that single question and the magic seemed to have ended and they were now back to the real world.
Kai’s hands curled along her jawline and rested below her ears as he stared into her eyes and Kelly didn’t know why but the look in his eyes made her heart suddenly feel suffocated.
"Kelly... you don’t have to worry about that anymore." He said in a careful voice.
"That?"
"About getting old and grey."
She creased her brows. Confusion hit her. Why wouldn’t she worry? Could it be that he’s planning to turn her to a vampire? Wait! Kelly shook her head and berated herself. She already knows that vampires aren’t like the undead creatures in movies. So, turning a human into a vampire is impossible if you are not born as one.
Seeing the confusion in her eyes, Kai swallowed. "Kelly... I can grow old with you now."
"Wha – what do you mean?" Kelly’s heartbeat began to speed up in turmoil. "You’re a vampire. Of course, you won’t grow old with me... you can’t!"
"I... my lifespan has been shortened to match a human’s lifespan." He finally said quietly.
Kelly shook her head slightly. "I don’t understand. W-why? Why would your lifespan be shortened?"
Suddenly, Kelly remembered when she was in Abi and Alexander’s mansion. She overheard the couple talking about something and they mentioned the word sacrifice. When she approached them, they stopped, and Alexander had asked her if Kai had told her about what happened to him when he left her that night in Country V.
Now that Kelly thought about it, she remembered Kai coughing out blood back then as if he was hurt. She remembered his darkened eyes. And she began to feel even more suffocated.
"Listen..." Kai struggled to stay calm, but he held her so gently but possessively and finally, he started to tell her everything. His eyes were wary and nervous as he told her what had happened to him and about the self-destruction.
Once she knew the whole story, Kai’s heartbeat was beating loudly. Mainly because of the reaction he was seeing in Kelly’s face.
He had never seen her look so devastated before and it pained him and scared him seeing her like this. Rigid and trembling, Kelly stared into his eyes until she was drowning in darkness. Why? She didn’t know. Why? How could he sacrifice his life for her like that? How could he...
Kelly wasn’t aware that she was crying until she felt like she could no longer breathe. Her knees weakened and she struggled to break free from him. But Kai didn’t let go and just pulled her to his embrace. She could only weep, asking him why – over and over like a broken record. She thought they won against the world. But she was wrong. Kai had sacrificed literally everything... even his life for her...
"Why? Why..." she asked while crying as Kai held her even tighter. Trying his very best to soothe her pain.
When she didn’t stop weeping, Kai kissed her desperately, ravaging her mouth with a wildness that made her quiver. Forcing her to stop her agonized weeping. When their lips parted, both of them were breathless.
"Listen... Kelly." His chest rose and fell in a long, deep breath as he held her face. His expression extremely grave. "When you left the kingdom that day, I thought I would go mad. I was there at the airport watching you from afar. I was hurt and weak and yet I felt like I’m going to die if I don’t see you. I told myself that was the last I’ll see you but when you were really gone..." he paused, his eyes glimmering with overflowing emotions. "When you were gone, everything turned dark for me. I tried to forget about you. I really... really tried. But I couldn’t. it was impossible. There was no place I could go to feel better. No person I wanted to be with. I began to hate myself, hate my heart for beating for you alone. I came to hate everything and even ended up hating you for being a human. I was miserable. In the end... I couldn’t take it anymore and I found myself crawling back to you, using every excuse I could think about.
"When we did it and I found out what had happened and that I can no longer live long... did you know what I felt?" he smiled bitterly. "I was happy, Kelly. There was never even a single iota or hint of regret. Nothing at all. I will never regret, Kelly. Because this is what I wanted. I wanted to live with you, spend the remaining time of my life with you, then grow old and die with you."
He was breathing hard after saying all those words, fully expressing his deepest feelings and Kelly could only tear up as she listened to him. She was guilty and yet she was happy and thrilled to be loved by someone this way. To be loved so strongly, more than his own life. Hearing all his words made Kelly realize that if she were in his shoes, she would have done the same and felt the same. She would rather trade everything – even her own life – to be with him.

Chapter 607 Little witch
Black Forest.
"Queen Alicia is still in the crystal cavern." A witch standing just inside the entrance of the great forest said with a worried look on her face. "I am starting to worry. She never hid herself that long. It’s been four days and we have yet to see signs of her coming out of her seclusion."
The other witch sighed. "I wonder what is wrong this time. She had been confining herself since Zeres left."
"You’re right. It started on that very same day..."
"But wasn’t she looking fine even after their fight? She even told us to let him do whatever it is that he wanted."
"Then why did she suddenly end up going into solitary confinement all on her own? This is the first time she had ever stayed hidden from everyone since she became queen. It’s not like her to act like this."
The other witches nodded. They knew that their queen wasn’t the type to shut herself away from her subjects. She would always come out and would meet up with them even when she had other important things to deal with. And that was why the witches adored her.
"Could it be that something really bad happened to her inside?" One of them said and everyone began to look distressed. They could not even force their way to go in and check on their queen because only the queens could enter the secret crystal cavern.
"What should we do? It’s really been too long. This is not something we can overlook. Someone must go in and check if she is fine."
"But how? Nobody can enter the cavern!"
"I think there’s only one person we could ask to open the cavern." One of them finally said this and the witches’ eyes widened. They all thought the same. He was no different from their queen so he must be capable of opening the cavern.
"I’ll go." A young witch that had grown up in Alicia’s care, named Lilith, said. "I know where to find him."
After a long moment of indecision, the witches agreed that Lilith should go. Though she was young, she was very skilled in infiltrating and disguising herself. Moreover, if the vampires happen to catch her, they will not harm her because they will think that the young witch was just lost, or she was moving on her own out of ignorance and curiosity. The witches knew that because there have been cases like that in the past. And sometimes, there were even young vampires who actually dared enter the Black Forest out of curiosity. The witch queen always released the youngsters unharmed and that’s probably why the vampires also did the same.
And thus, the witches all agreed to let go Lilith go.
It didn’t take her long before Lilith manage to arrive at the forest near the Reign’s castle. She had disguised herself as one of the human maids and successfully entered the large castle. Lilith had tried infiltrating other vampires’ castles before, but not with the intention of doing anything bad or stealing anything. She simply did it to see if someone would actually take notice and end up catching her. If the vampires were truly superior and more powerful than the witches, as they always claimed they were, shouldn’t she have been caught multiple times already by now? The young girl was driven by curiosity and starving for adventures that she had become so skilled in her hobby of infiltrating into the places where there are vampires. And now that she had actually managed to infiltrate the dreaded Reign Castle, Lilith couldn’t help but smile triumphantly to herself.
It seemed she had overestimated the vampires. Getting herself into this place was supposed to be a challenge, but it ended up being a piece of cake.
However, her triumph and pleased thoughts only lasted a whole minute. She had just left the kitchen to go and look for Zeres when someone suddenly grabbed her, causing her heart to almost stop. A powerful arm lifted her, and she couldn’t even resist.
"What are you doing here, little witch?" the voice whispered in her ear and when she looked up, Lilith was startled. The first thing she saw were grey eyes. But what she at least knows is that those eyes belonged to a vampire royal. Oh no!
Lilith had always been told to avoid the royals at all cost because they were the ones who could recognize the witches with just one glance. Gritting her teeth, Lilith clenched her fist. She can’t be caught now. She must find that man and tell him about Queen Alicia.
While berating herself for being too careless, Lilith finally realized that royal vampire who caught her was as young as her. She thought that though he’s royalty, he was just a young boy. With that thought, Lilith silently chanted a spell and green-like light flared between them.
The boy stumbled backwards, Lilith was ready as she scrambled away and disappeared in a flash. "Ugh!" he cursed but his lips curved into a smirk and his eyes turned red. "How dare you escape from me, little witch!" he said, and he leapt.
Lilith had lost her disguise. Her blond hair now turned to the brightest shade of red and her appearance returned to her normal self – fair skinned and a spattering of freckles on the nose and cheeks. She hid herself behind a pillar as she steadied and slowed down her breathing. She was already on the third floor, but she still couldn’t see the silver-haired man.
Realizing that she didn’t have much time to spare, Lilith peeked at the guards at the end of the corridor and was about to move when someone grabbed her – again. What is with today and people grabbing her? That hand holding her from behind stopped her from disappearing since witches couldn’t disappear when someone that isn’t a witch was holding them.
"Gotcha!!" It was the royal boy again.
_________
Chapter 608 My friend
Lilith whipped her head towards him, anger colored her freckled face. "You are good in playing hide and seek, little witch. Just like a mouse." He chuckled mischievously. "But too bad for you, mousey...Coz I’m good at seeking, like a cat."
"L-let go!" Lilith tried tugging her hand out of his grasp, but the boy gripped her harder.
"Nope. I caught you. So, from now on, you are my pet." He said in a matter-of-fact manner.
Lilith swallowed and she was about to chant a spell again when the boy’s hand covered her lips. She hadn’t brought a sword because she knew she could not hide it. What should she do?
"I never saw a witch with red hair and green eyes before." He commented, tilting his head. His dark hair a stark contrast with his mischievous bright eyes.
Lilith sank her dainty sharp teeth into his hand that was gripping her until the boy groaned in pain. "Ah! Stop! I’ll hit you if you don’t!" he said as he winced in pain. However, his grip was still tight on her arm. Knowing that she couldn’t escape unless he let go of her, Lilith didn’t release her bite and her jaws clamped down even harder. "I said let go you little...! I will really hurt you! I’m not kidding!"
The royal boy was now gritting his teeth and Lilith knew he’s in pain because she was starting to taste his blood. But why was he still not letting go? Stubborn little vampire!
"Ugh!!! I said I’ll hit you!!"
When the witch girl still persisted and even bit him even harder, the boy’s movement was a blur and it seem to be moving to her neck. She didn’t have the chance to disappear because he was too fast.
Lilith’s eyes widened and she felt her heart thud in nervousness the moment she felt his hand clasp around her neck. She shut her eyes closed but sunk her teeth deeper onto his hand, expecting him to strangle her. But he didn’t and she slowly cracked open one eye.
When their eyes met, his face was still twisted in pain, but his eyes filled with disbelief. "I can’t believe you’re still not letting go. Seems you’re less of a mouse, but more of a dog. A mad, crazy little dog!" he was now exasperated. "Let go, now before I hurt you. Are you planning to eat my hand?!"
Despite his threats, the boy didn’t even tighten his grip on her neck. Realizing that the royal didn’t seem on planning to hurt her at all, Lilith’s feet moved, dragging him along with her. She planned to move herself away from the pillar and then bring him to the open space where she could finally kick him away.
"You... you!!" The boy groaned in pain. "I will punish you! I will really punish you after this. Heed my word –"
"Kyle." A deep voice made the two freeze and halt. "What are you doing?"
Lilith felt the boy stiffen up. He seemed to be so startled or even scared that he had forgotten about the pain her bite was causing him.
Blinking, she watched the boy straighten his posture and steadily turned to face the source of the voice.
"Brother," he bowed. "I... I caught a..." he paused and looked at Lilith as if he were unsure whether to continue speaking or not.
When Lilith looked up at the man the boy was talking too, she also flinched in fear. She didn’t know why but the man’s aura scared her even though he was so good looking and didn’t look angry at all. Lilith subconsciously let go of the boy’s hand and with blood painting her lips, her fear made her inch closer to the boy she had just bitten, even trying to hide behind him.
The scary man narrowed his eyes. "What are you doing here?" he asked Lilith and the sheer aura coming from him made the young girl swallow hard. She had never been so scared before. She thought that the scariest person in this world was her Queen Alicia when she’s really angry. But this man wasn’t even angry yet and he’s already making her tremble in fear just by looking down at her. Oh no. Could it be that this man is the vampire king? Was he going to kill her?
"She’s my friend..." the boy suddenly said. She was so scared she didn’t realize that the boy’s hand was no longer on her neck until she felt him pull her behind him, shielding her from that scary gaze.
Lilith was surprised. Was he protecting her? Why? She could feel him stiff and scared as well, yet he mentioned that she’s his friend?
Slowly, Lilith peeked out at the man and he looked like he wasn’t pleased with what the boy said.
"Friend?" he repeated.
"Yes. I... brought her here."
A short silence followed that statement, and the man closed his eyes as if he was suddenly weary about something.
"Lucas." He spoke and a huge red-haired man appeared. Lilith found the red-haired vampire to be another scary person and she moved even closer to the boy holding her hand. She had seen so many vampires, but never had she ever met scary vampires like these here, and that’s why she never thought vampires were scary. Were these scary vampires hiding in this castle all along? That moment, Lilith told herself that she will never enter this castle of scary vampires again... that’s if she could still leave the place alive.
"Take Kyle away. Bring him to his room." He ordered and the boy’s grip on her hand tightened.
However, just as the red-haired man was about to grab the boy, someone appeared, and Lilith’s eyes widened. The man she was looking for finally appeared.
"What’s wrong? Let’s go. I’m starting to think that you’re deliberately delaying this journey Zeke." the silver-haired man said, and Lilith gasped.
"Zeres!!!" she exclaimed in shock and Zeres’ attention fell on the girl behind the youngest vampire prince. That red hair and freckles....
"Lilith!" Zeres was surprised. This sweet young girl was his favorite back in the Black Forest and he had actually taught her swordsmanship for a while.
Zeres approached her and his face became worried at the sight of blood on her lips. He looked at Kyle with a frown. "Did he hurt you?"
"Oh, no.... I ... I hurt him. I bit his hand because he didn’t want to let me go." Lilith confessed and Zeres pressed his temples as he sighed, relieved.
"Why are you here? You shouldn’t be here, Lilith." Zeres’s expression changed as his voice changed into sounding as a voice of a father scolding his child. "How did you even manage to enter the castle?"
Lilith blinked and then she looked at the boy beside her. Their eyes met and then Lilith pressed her lips tight. Even though she was proud of her infiltrating skill, she knew that like Queen Alicia, Zeres won’t be happy hearing about her dangerous hobby as well. Queen Alicia had scolded her when she heard about it. She liked Zeres so she didn’t want Zeres to scold her and probably dislike her. And thus, she held Kyle’s hand and spoke. "He’s my friend. He helped me enter the castle." She said and Zeres glanced at Zeke’s darkened face.
"I... I have something important to tell you." she suddenly blurted, pulling Zeres’ attention back to her. "Queen Alicia... she needs you. Urgently!"
_________
Chapter 609 My pet
Zeres’ eyes constricted at what he just heard from Lilith and then, before they knew it, he was gone, leaving everyone blinking at his sudden disappearance. His action was too sudden and unexpected that Lilith wasn’t even given the chance to tell him to take her with him.
The young girl had her eyes wide and mouth gaping open when she realized that the silver-haired witch was already gone and that he had left her with these scary vampires, and in the midst of their headquarters! She didn’t expect him to disappear just like that and forget about her. It seemed he was truly more worried of their queen than anyone else. But what should she do now that she was left behind? Oh no! Did he think she was fine because she told him the little vampire royal was her friend?
Realizing her mistake, Lilith risked a glance at the scary man that was still standing like a statue before her. The only movement he made was to look at the darkness outside as if his gaze were following Zeres’ invisible trails.
When he returned his gaze to her, Lilith’s heart skipped a beat and she involuntarily flinched as her grip on the boy’s hand tightened.
"What happened? Is the witch queen in danger?" he asked calmly.
There seemed to be something in those grey eyes of his that made Lilith answer him before she could even realize she was already doing so. "The queen went into the crystal cavern and never came out of it for a more than three days already –" she clamped her lips shut but it was too late.
What she said seemed to have eased the slight tension forming in the air. "I see," the man said and then, the air around him changed as his gaze swept across the two youngsters holding each other’s hands like they never wanted to be apart. His eyes were unfathomable, but Lilith could clearly feel his displeasure like a physical force.
Suddenly, the boy pulled her towards him and hugged her as if to lock her in his arms, causing Lilith to gasp in surprise. Before she could protest, the boy spoke. "Brother, I... I want to keep this girl."
Lilith’s mind was blown, and she could not even squeak, much less speak up on her own behalf. W-what the hell’s this royal boy saying?!
A chill then ran down her spine and she knew that the source was the scary man because she felt the vampire boy who was hugging her flinching as well. Why was he doing this when he’s scared too?
Lilith was so confused but she didn’t dare move or even breathe too heavily. She would rather stay still in this boy’s arms than have him let go of her and leave her with the two big and scary vampires. She didn’t know why but she felt safe in this boy’s arms even as she was still confused and could not understand why he was taking this stance in protecting her this way.
"I mean..." the boy spoke again, regardless of his obvious fear and hesitation to keep talking. "I know we don’t do slavery anymore. I’m not going to make her my slave or anything of that sort."
When Lilith didn’t hear any response to that statement for a few agonizing seconds, she forced herself to peek at the man as the boy’s arms around her tightened. She could also hear his heartbeat beating so ferociously.
"I will take care of her... like she’s my..." Kyle paused, struggling. He knew the girl couldn’t stay in the castle if he tells Zeke to keep her as his friend. "She’ll be like... my pet."
The red-haired man who had kept a stoic face, choked. But Zeke’s expression didn’t change at all.
"I mean... a beloved pet." Kyle continued, swallowing hard as he subconsciously hugged the girl even tighter. "I won’t enslave her. I will treat her really well – much... much better than other pets. So, please let me keep her."
"No." His brother’s deep voice rumbled, and it was filled with absolute authority.
The boy’s heart raced even faster. But still, he stubbornly persisted, taking a deep breath. "But – "
"No buts, Kyle. You can’t keep a witch with you."
"Why?"
"If you need company, there are other vampires out –"
"But I don’t want other vampires. This girl is what I want." Kyle sounded belligerent and pouted his lips.
The air became chilly. "No. Give me the girl." The man didn’t raise his voice. But he didn’t have to as what he said were the scariest thing Lilith have ever heard. She found herself clinging to the boy as if begging him not hand her over to his scary brother.
She felt the boy stiffen as well but as she clung to him, she didn’t see the hostility that had burned in Kyle’s eyes.
Even Lucas was surprised at the look Kyle gave to his brother. No one ever dared look at Zeke that way, except Alexander, back then.
"You forbid me to go to places I like. At least let me keep someone I like beside me."
"You can keep anyone you like, with the exceptions of humans and witches, Kyle." Zeke still looked calm but he sounded like his patience was already wearing thin.
"I told you, I don’t like vamp –" Zeke held up a hand to stop Kyle from saying more. His hard stare said talking more wouldn’t be a smart idea.
"Give her to me. I’ll bring her back to the Black Forest." Zeke stretched out his arm to Lilith, but the boy stepped back, hugging the girl even tighter. "Are you really going to disobey me?"
"I... I..." the boy gritted his teeth. His eyes burning with emotions as he looked at Zeke with a painful expression. "I’ll bring her there myself."
Kyle grabbed her and carrying her in his arms, Kyle took the girl away as fast as he could. Obviously scared to death that Zeke would stop him.
Watching the young prince disappear, Zeke closed his eyes and his fingers twitched.
"Should we consider that... one royalty down?" Lucas’ concerned voice sounded out and Zeke’s eyes fell on him. Something in Zeke made the air unbelievably thick that Lucas had to lean away from him because breathing had gotten tough.
After a few moments, he retracted his aura, and the surroundings went back to normal. Zeke then leapt forward and Lucas immediately followed.
"Where are we going? Are we leaving Zeres behind?" Lucas asked.
"No. We’re going to the Black Forest, first."
"Why? To get prince Kyle or to check on the witch queen?"
________
Chapter 610 Place
The witches at the forest’s entrance who were anxiously waiting for Lilith’s return were baffled at the sudden intrusion. They almost attacked the man but thankfully, they immediately stopped themselves upon seeing the man’s silver hair.
He was breathing fast, his eyes wide, and it was apparent that he had rushed over at a dead run. His gaze was alert and filled with worry as he flashed his gaze around, taking in the situation.
"Where’s the queen?" he asked in urgent tone. "What happened?!"
"She’s... we don’t know. But she has already confined herself inside the cavern for four days now." One of the witches answered hesitantly and before they could even ask him where was Lilith, the man had already disappeared.
The witches were speechless. They had felt a dangerous air coming from the man ever since the first time that they have met him. When they were first brought to meet Zeres in the forest and he was introduced to them, the witches all have one thought in their heads, Zeres was not as scary as they thought. They knew he was an immortal, like the dreaded half-vampire immortal, Alexander. The witches were scared at first because they thought he might be someone evil who would enslave the witches like what Alexander did to the vampires, a long time ago.
However, when they met him, they were surprised because the man seemed to have a heart and intentions that were as pure as snow. He was kind and the air around him never scared them. His pure white garments and his silver hair and eyes were as clear as his soul – this was what they all thought on the first impression. So his appearance that moment stunned everyone.
He was no longer clad in his pure white robes. He was dressed in black garments and he had his long silver hair tied behind him. That was the very first time they saw him wearing clothes that wasn’t white. They didn’t know if it was because of his clothes but at that moment, they all felt something different in him.
...
Zeres didn’t waste another moment and dashed in to enter the cavern. His body was tensed as he entered the magical and ancient cavern. When the entrance closed behind him, he halted. The cavern still remained the same – even after all the thousands of years that has passed.
Some memories came rushing back to him and his expression turned a few shades darker. He shook his head – hoping that with the actions, he would be able to shake off that old recollections that came back to haunt him – and took a deep breath. There were no sounds inside the cavern, the silence was almost deafening.
He began to worry as he silently made his way further into the inside of the cavern. His expression was wretched because he could remember himself doing this exact same thing in the past. As he walked deeper into the depths, he felt like there was a doubled image of himself going through the same motions as he did in the past.
Clenching his fists tight, Zeres finally reached the throne hall and as he had expected, there she was, sitting on her throne. Her eyes closed, a faint light glowing around her.
She looked like the moon goddess herself, slowly diffusing her glow about her. Zeres just stood there, staring at her for a long while, looking as though he was fighting something overpowering deep within himself. He had closed his eyes as well, and after a seemingly eternal moment, he opened his eyes and the turmoil in them were gone, as if they were never there in the first place. His lean frame relaxed.
"Alicia." he called out and as though she was awakened from a dream, Alicia’s body jolted, and her eyelids fluttered open.
She blinked for a while, trying to dispel the haze from her mind, and when she realized that a man was standing before her, her eyes widened. Abruptly, she stood. Her gaze narrowing at the sight of Zeres.
"Zeres. What are you doing here?!" she glanced behind him as if to see if he had company. Alicia didn’t know that Zeres could enter the cavern. She had thought he might have the capabilities but since he’s not a queen, she thought he never knew about the chant that could open the secret place.
"A girl came to fetch me. The witches are worried about you." he ignored her question and approached her.
"Stop right there." Alicia’s tone was an order. "Don’t come closer, Zeres."
But Zeres didn’t listen to her, causing Alicia to narrow her eyes at him. He stopped just a couple of steps short of being directly in her face. His eyes fell on her hair. Her pure silver hair was now highlighted with shades of greyish color.
When Zeres lifted his hand to touch them, Alicia slapped his hand away. "Why are you here? You were so eager to leave, why did you come back?"
Zeres looked away. "You’re in danger, Alicia." He said in an almost inaudible voice.
There was a long stretch of silence before Alicia could respond. "You know what’s happening to me."
"Yes."
"Then... can you tell me what’s going on? Is my reign over because you’re here?"
Zeres turned his back from her and ran his fingers through his hair. "Your reign won’t end here, Alicia. You know that queens’ reigns will last as long as their lifetimes." He said.
"Then why am I losing my powers this early? Could it be that you were so hellbent on leaving because you already knew that this would happen? Is your presence really the reason why? There shouldn’t be two silver haired witches living at the same time. Could it be that..."
Zeres almost flinched but thankfully, he managed not to show any reaction. "No. That’s not it, Alicia." He turned and faced her. "You are right; my existence here would bring about the weakening of your powers, but it’s not the same as the weakening previous dying queens had undergone. You’re not dying, you’re simply losing power. And there is a way you can regain it all back."
Alicia’s gaze on Zeres was odd and Zeres knew she was doubting his words.
"I knew this would happen and that’s why I insisted on leaving to go on a journey and find that place that could bring your power back." He continued anyway.
"Place?"
"Yes. There are caverns all around this world that are similar as this place. You stayed here because you thought this place could replenish your power, right? Normally, this place is the haven of queens because this place empowers you. But since my arrival, I have drained all the powers from this place that were meant to be yours. It was never my intention to take it from you, but somehow it all just got transferred to me, even when I am not doing anything."
"So you’re saying you’re going to look for crystal caverns that could bring back my lost powers?"
"Yes."
Alicia pressed her temples as she smiled in disbelief and confusion.
"I know it doesn’t make sense to you right now. But you’ll believe me once we get there and you’ll get your powers back."
