Chapter 231 Nightmare [Part II]
Sebastian could do nothing but act like a puppet. He would do anything that she wanted. His entire being was already blackened. There was nothing left to be burned and hurt within his soul any longer. He would just do everything she wanted to keep his sisters alive until his brother returned.
That was all he had to do right now.
But in his mind, he had planned that after this, he was going to die with that monster if that's what it takes. He was going to be the one to kill her. He would give everything to bring her to hell. Even if it would take his life so he could drag her there along with him, then so be it. He was willing to be the collateral for it.
He sat at the corner of the filthy room when the monster was not there and thought of nothing but how to slaughter and torture her one day. Those scenes were the only things replaying in his head the entire time when he was not at the monster's beck and call, and he felt himself spiraling down into madness.
The only thing that was keeping the last strand of sanity left in him from snapping was ... the wolf the monster had left in the room to watch over him.
The light brown wolf was used by the witch to watch over him. The wolf functioned as her eyes whenever she was away.
Whenever Sebastian started to laugh by himself like he was losing it, the wolf would come closer to him and distract him from totally losing control of himself.
The wolf was big and its fur was surprisingly soft. It stood before him and snuggled up to him, its hazel eyes were bright and seemingly expressive.
At first, Sebastian hated the wolf. He ignored it and pushed it away, knowing full well that its purpose was to serve the monster who had forcefully enslaved him. But the wolf was relentless and kept on trying to disturb his deadly thoughts. It did not fear him even when Sebastian began to threaten it.
Until before he knew it, he found himself talking to the wolf even if it could not talk back. And then one time, he found himself walking up as he was cuddling the wolf, unwillingly enjoying the very first and only warmth he had ever felt in his cold, dark, prison - figuratively as well as literally.
And as time passed, Sebastian had found a little solace in the presence of the wolf. Something that his sanity could grasp onto and allow him to preserve that last bit of that sense of self.
The wolf, he later realized, was just like himself. Both of them were slaves and being kept there against their will. And right now, in this hell, they did not have anyone or anything else but each other.
Sebastian was glad for the wolf being there because he still wanted to still be sane at least until the day of this monster's fall. He wanted to see her suffer with his very own eyes first. And to enjoy seeing her downfall and suffering, he needed to be in his right mind. So, he must hold on. He must not succumb until then.
A time came when the monster had returned without warning and saw them sleeping together on the floor, with Sebastian cuddling the wolf for warmth and companionship.
However, the monster had gotten jealous and furious that she started punishing the wolf, kicking and whipping it right before Sebastian's eyes.
Sebastian tried not to show that he cared. He put on a poker face and just stared and watched on callously and without any emotions. Because he knew that the moment he showed any form of attention, the monster would make the wolf suffer even more than it was already suffering.
"Such a little bitch!!! Your job was to watch over the prince! Not to cuddle with him like a slut!" the woman yelled and hit the wolf so hard that a gush of blood poured out of its mouth.
Unable to hold himself back anymore, Sebastian spoke up. "Are you even able to be jealous of an animal?" he said, trying his best to keep his voice and expression blank, so he would not show her how truly disgusted he was. However, his insides were churning and he so very much wanted to vomit out whatever he had inside his stomach.
"Animal?" The monster stopped whipping the wolf and then faced Sebastian who was still sitting on the floor.
Smirking villainously, the woman glanced down at the bleeding wolf and spat out something. Sebastian belatedly realized that it was a spell.
And the wolf... it started to transform.
Sebastian's lips parted slightly in shock as he watched the wolf slowly turn into a... teenage girl around his age.
A werewolf... the wolf was actually a werewolf!
Sebastian had thought that werewolves had gone extinct for a long time now. Their kind had been hunted and annihilated that not a single one of them had managed to survive. So how was there this werewolf here?
"Surprised?" The woman asked as Sebastian's gaze was glued to the now naked and badly battered up girl on the floor. She was whimpering and whining in pain, her body was slightly hunched up in a 'C' from the extreme pain she was experiencing.
"She's the last one of her kind." The monster continued. "I am planning to have her as a guinea pig in the future to make her useful to me. So I was not going to kill her just yet." She then turned back to the girl and kicked her right in the stomach, causing her to cry out in pain and curl into a fetal position. "However... you listen up bitch! If I find you trying to seduce and play around with my boy again, you're dead. You got that?!"
Grabbing her golden-brown hair, the monster made her look up at her and hissed out viciously. "Did you hear what I said, Alysa?"
HELLBOUND HEART
Chapter 232 Nightmare [Part III]
232 Nightmare [Part III]
Sebastian had tried to ignore the wolf. He was determined to never let her get involved with him again. All for her sake.
For a long while, he never even batted an eye in her direction. Until the monster had one day arrived burning with rage and lashed out at his sisters. When Sebastian tried to fight back and stand up for them, unable to watch his siblings suffer anymore abuse from this unreasonable monster, she had mercilessly killed one of them. Sebastian had begged and cried once again but this time, the monster did not bother to listen and... killed her right before him.
The monster then blamed him for the death of his older sister and then used his youngest sister as another blackmail tool to hold him down. Though burning with anger and overflowing with resentment for the unjust murder of his older sister, Sebastian could do nothing else but gnash his teeth and swallow the curses, the pain and everything else and let them burn within him.
After that... the monster locked Sebastian with her in her chambers for the longest time ever. She usually left once morning came, but that time she did not leave. She stayed for days and nights, causing such disgust to well up in him that he felt like he was drowning in a cesspit.
It was for the longest time he had stayed in a hell made by her, that when she finally left, Sebastian was on the brink of complete insanity. In his mind, he was not even sure if he was still sane. Whatever that was left whole within him were all now cracked and damaged goods, simply waiting for the last and final blow - a blow that might even be as weak as a soft wind.
In that hopeless, breaking point, Sebastian found himself being held in the fragile arms of the werewolf girl he had been callously ignoring. Her warmth was a persistent glue desperately holding together the cracks within him that was about to fall apart.
Somehow, with that little bit of warmth afforded to him, he had held on.
He later found out from Alyssa that the monster was becoming more desperate. And she believed that it was because of something serious and things were not moving in the monster's favour.
Alyssa also revealed to him that the witch was rarely using her eyes now, which only meant that she was occupied with something else.
So, the two of them began to plan their big project. For their escape.
Sebastian was still incredibly weak. His body strength had been reduced to that of a human after all of the brutal and filthy experiments he had gone through for so long.
The monster had also never allowed him to drink normal blood. She would feed him with the blood of dead sacrifices – blood so awful and filthy that it was just not edible. They did not give him any strength at all. But it did its job to keep him alive.
So, Alyssa had offered him her blood. Sebastian refused at first but he eventually gave in and fed on her. He wanted them both to finally escape and in order for that to happen, he must regain his strength.
The day they chose to execute their plan, Sebastian and Alyssa managed to escape the innermost prison. Alyssa had killed witches in her wolf form while Sebastian worked on the thick and protected bars.
They both then managed to reach the prison where Sebastian's sister was being kept hostage.
But when they opened the prison door, Sebastian had found his youngest sister dead.
Apparently, she had been dead for a few days now and they just left her there, rotting.
Sebastian fell to his knees. And he was about to scream out his anguish but Alyssa managed to stop him. She was crying as she cupped Sebastian's face, whispering for him not to scream and alert everyone.
"We'll avenge her... we'll avenge her, Sebastian." Alyssa whispered to him repeatedly as her tears fall. That was enough to fuel to Sebastian to stand again. He picked up his weapon and stood. He stared down at his sister's body once again and made a promise before he grabbed Alyssa's hand and they rushed out of the cell.
The duo fought their way up with their lives on the line. Fighting with everything they had. They knew this was their very last chance to get out and escape from the monster's clutches. They would either come out of this dead or alive.
Until they almost there. They reached the last chambers of the dungeon. Once they get past this, they would be out of this darkness.
Sebastian gripped Alyssa's shoulders and pressed his forehead against the wolf's head and whispered.
"Don't forget our promise, Alyssa. We'll get out of here... the both of us... alive." He told her.
The wolf's hazel eyes gleamed and she nodded. However, Sebastian was too distraught and distracted by his youngest sister's death and the stress of their 13:58
escape to notice that the wolf's reaction was slow. There was a short pause before she had joined her head at his statement.
And they set out for their final battle. However, the monster returned and destroyed them both so easily. Sebastian's strength did not even stand a tiny chance against her. He had been swept aside just with a single blow from her monstrous strength.
The monster forcefully shifted Alyssa back to her human form and took control of her. Revealing to Sebastian that the young werewolf was bound to her forever and will never be freed from her snare.
"I've already warned you, my little prince." The monster had said as she held Alyssa's hair in a cruel and tight grip. "But you keep disobeying me. I told you to be a good boy didn't –"
"Please..." Sebastian's voice trembling, filled with agony. "I'll do anything... everything... I'll give you my life... even my soul... please... don't kill her..."
But the monster laughed mockingly. "You cannot give me what's already mine, my prince. This is all your fault."
_ end of flashback_
And Sebastian screamed as blood spurted out from Alyssa's slashed throat.

HELLBOUND HEART
Chapter 233 Deadly
Screams.
Elle could hear him screaming. Sebastian...
Even in this pit of darkness, Elle could hear the agony and rage in his voice. It was breaking her heart into a million pieces. Because no matter how loud he screams, she couldn't seem to even do anything for him. All she could do was stay there in the dark, moving against her will. A puppet.
She had tried to fight it. So many times... she tried. She'd fought to break free from whatever this thing that was controlling, from whatever this prison she was in. This thing couldn't be a nightmare. There was no way she's just having a nightmare. Everything felt too real to be one. The only thing that would make sense was... she must be under some kind of spell.
This being a nightmare was more impossible to her than it being a spell. Yes, after everything that had happened, Elle could no longer even doubt these things that were nothing but fictional and superstitious to her not too long ago.
The world she knew was no longer the same. And it will never ever be the same anymore.
Right now, she had only one wish. And that's to at least have some kind of power... any sort of power to fight for herself and to do something for the person she holds dear. To at least be able to help.
She remembered how she had wished that this world had magic. So that she could use it to destroy people like Brandon Haze with just the tip of her finger tips. She knew now magic and supernatural beings did actually exist, and yet...
And yet, nothing seemed to change. She was still helpless. Powerless.
"I'LL KILL YOU!!!" These words roared like thunder in the dark. They sounded like they belonged to a beast. A savage beast who wanted nothing but blood and vengeance. Elle knew it also belonged to Sebastian and those words... she didn't know why but she felt like they were aimed towards her.
"I'LL KILL YOU!!!"
The agonizing scream echoed again. The faint sounds of metals in the background now loud in her ears as well. Whatever that was happening outside this little darkness she was trapped into was getting out of control. She could feel the pressure... that familiar air Sebastian exudes getting heavier, deadlier.
Her instinct told her it was time to hide. To take shelter somewhere, anywhere, or she'd get hurt. But she couldn't move her body even if she wanted to run away. She didn't want to run away. Not by herself.
Something hit her. Hard. She didn't know what it was but she was hit almost at the same time something seemed to break.
And whatever that hit her had caused her to hear nothing but loud ringing. It was so loud he couldn't hear anything else but that anymore.
She knew she was thrown away from that strong hit. And she also knew she's going to fall hard to the ground or whatever it was that her body would land into.
But the hard fall didn't happen. Something or someone seemed to catch her, stopping the fatal fall. She couldn't quite tell anymore.
She was on the ground again. Pain started to hit her, making her curl due to the intensity of it.
A strong and rough hand grabbed her in the neck. A shriek was torn from her lips as she was pinned hard against the cold hard bars behind her.
And then it dawned to her a��� despite all the numbing pain a��� that she was finally out of that darkness. Her body... it was no longer under someone else's control. Her eyes could see something now. The darkness that seemed to completely cover her vision was completely gone.
Sebastian's face was the very first she saw. He looked so wretched, so deadly. His eyes burning with an inferno of rage and hatred and bloodlust no one, not even the gods, could seem to extinguish.
And his hand... it was wrapped hard around her neck.
Elle couldn't speak. Much less breathe.
She didn't even have an ounce of strength to try to get away from his grasp. He was too strong. Trying to get away from him would be utterly futile even if she did have any strength left in her.
He was snarling something viscious she could no longer hear or understand. She knew she's going to lose consciousness due to lack of air very soon. So, she reached out to touch his face.
Everything ached. Her heart ached. Seeing him like this ached so bad. Seeing him looking at her with those deadly emotions in his eyes was crushing her heart to ashes.
She didn't know what exactly was going on but she knew Sebastian was seeing someone else in her. She could see it clearly in those eyes. And if she couldn't make him see this was her, he might end up... killing her.
But like always, she was helpless. There was nothing she could do. Couldn't even call out his name to let him know it's her.
Her tears fell as her weak hand touched his face. All she could do was hope that her touch would be enough to reach him or wake him up.
Sebastian's eyes widened. The black in them nearly swallowed all the greys.
The tight grip of his hand around her neck loosened.
He looked as though an extreme shock rendered him paralyzed for a moment. Then, he let go of her.
His hands, his body... they started trembling so hard as he staggered backwards. The rage and bloodlust now instantly replaced with something completely different. Despair and fear and hurt.
Elle gasped for air as she slid on the ground. Her coughs and pants echoed loudly as Sebastian stood there. The deafening and chaotic noises outside the bars and maybe even outside the dungeons didn't even make him glance away from her.
Sebastian just looked down at her like he was watching his whole world crumbling to ashes right before his eyes.
HELLBOUND HEART
Chapter 234 For Now
In the darkness, two blurry figures landed on top of a building. But one of them failed to land cleanly and rolled on the floor.
Elijah turned. His face and neck were drenched with blood. Even the squirrel that was on his shoulder, its fur was stained wet with blood as well.
"I'm sorry... Your Highness. I don't think I can make it." Mike grinned rather helplessly. Blood was flowing out of his mouth as he gripped his hand over the gaping wound on his chest. "Please go on without me. Alexander might still be coming after you... trailing our blood. You can't be caught by him."
Without responding, Elijah just stared down at the man. His grey eyes dimmed as he surveyed his long-time side kick lying in an ever widening pool of his own blood.
"Go now, Prince Elijah." Mike begged again. Urgency and worry were brimming in his eyes.
But Elijah did not leave like what Mike had urged him to do. Instead, he approached him and crouched down. "Shut up, Mike. When did I allow you to order me what to do?" he said, emotionlessly.
And then he picked Mike up in his arms. Causing the man's eyes to widen.
"Prince... Elijah... don't do this. I'm already a... I can no longer survive this. So please don't burden yourself with my hopeless body anymore a���" Mike truly was worried for his Lord and did not want to be a burden that would slow his progress.
"I told you to shut up, damn it." He hissed. "I'm going to take you to a much higher building and drop you from there for an even quicker death. So just shut up!" And Mike could do nothing but zip his mouth as Elijah scowled at him.
And in the next second, he leapt along with Mike in his arms.
But time passed and he did not drop him like he had threatened earlier. Elijah simply carried him as they traveled through the city unnoticed.
Smiling, Mike sighed helplessly. "Are you satisfied with the outcome of everything tonight, Your Highness? It seems... Alexander somehow managed to arrive earlier than expected again."
"No. He came just as I expected." Elijah replied and Mike sighed again.
"If only you didn't stall too much. I sometimes wonder if you were actually doing that on purpose. Had you not wasted so much time cooking and feeding the princess, even giving her time to see to her private needs... there should be more than enough time for you to execute all your plans before Alexander's arrival."
Elijah did not respond and simply continued running. However, Mike knew that he was listening.
"So, it seems, this is a failure too, huh..." Mike's voice weakened. "I was hoping you'd at least get what you wanted from this so I won't feel like I would be dying in vain." He teased, laughing soundlessly.
"It's not a failure." Elijah replied. "I've already gotten what I wanted. So even with Alexander's interference, it does not matter. Sebastian..." a cold and heartless smile tugged at the corner of Elijah's lips. "Now he knows what it feels like..." something unfathomable gleamed across his eyes before it was concealed and disappeared from the surface. "That's more than enough, for now."
"Ah, I... see... that's a relief then." Mike's eyes began to dim even as he said these words.
And Elijah slowed. He took a turn, entered the forest and continued moving on until he arrived at an old cemetery.
When Elijah settled him gently on the ground, Mike smiled at him again. "What are you going to do from here on, Your Highness? After this, Prince Sebastian might come at you without any reservation from now on. Even Alexander might not be... able to stop him anymore." His voice now only a whisper.
"You don't have to worry about me, Mike. You know I will always survive even if they all come at me." Elijah's voice sounded unconcerned.
"Right." Mike's smile widened as he thought that Prince Elijah indeed would definitely do just fine even if he was gone. "You will be just fine even without me too... I'm relieved... I'm... well then, Your Highness... good... bye..."
Elijah quietly watched Mike close his eyes. And once his body went limp and lifeless, Elijah laid right next to Mike's corpse and looked up at the starry night.
"As long as Ezekiel doesn't come back, no one could outsmart me and catch me. So, I will continue to play with Sebastian's life while I can... Hopefully, he'll be broken beyond repair before that man ends up returning." He continued talking like Mike was still listening. "No, I will make sure that if Ezekiel ever returns, his completely insane brother would be the one to welcome him."
"I still don't understand why you changed our plans like that." A woman's voice suddenly echoed behind him. She sounded pissed and angry.
Elijah did not even bat an eyelid and continued staring unblinkingly at the sky while stroking the squirrel that was now sitting over his chest. After Mike had stopped breathing, the squirrel had then sat up and chattered for a while before jumping over to seek comfort in the embrace of Elijah.
"The plan was to torture her in front of him. If we made the prince watch her get tortured and then get killed... he should've been driven insane by now!" the female voice continued. "But what did you do? What is that crap you a���"
"We are still not certain if Sebastian loves her enough that he'd go crazy if she dies." Elijah cut her off, still never moving to even look at the source of the voice. "But depending on the result we saw tonight, we will know. I already told you... I will only let her get killed if I'm certain her death would cost Sebastian's sanity."
The female sneered and scoffed. "And because of that stupid rule of yours, you lost your long-time companion. You are wasting so much time and chances, Elijah."
A tiny muscle in Elijah's jaw ticked after hearing her comment. But when he replied, there was no sign of him being bothered by the owner of that voice at all. "Don't you forget about our bargain. I'll get what I want in this first before you. I never told you that I wanted a quick result, right? I wanted a slow but satisfying vengeance. I've waited long enough for this and can wait a little more to see it done perfectly. I don't have any plans to end it in the blink of an eye. I'm not going to end it so easily for him! I wanted to drag Sebastian's torment out for as long as I can!"
The voice tsked before it finally disappeared.
Elijah shut his eyes closed and drew in a long-suffering breath after he was certain she was truly gone.
After an immeasurable amount of time, Elijah finally opened his eyes as he finally felt the presence of the men he had summoned.
Men in black appeared one after another behind him. Two of them were holding an intricate coffin while the others were holding shovels. All had their heads slightly lowered and kept silent in respect to the now still man that was lying beside Prince Elijah.
Pushing himself off the ground, Elijah took his jacket off and before he covered Mike, he softly uttered the word "Good bye".
HELLBOUND HEART
Chapter 235 Because Of Her
Elle was shocked to find that she had been unconscious for days.
Five days to be exact.
She had woken up in Alicia's house located in the heart of Black Forest and found out that she had been brought there by Sebastian and Alexander there that very same night they were rescued.
Elle vaguely remembered anything after she broke free from that spell that had controlled her. Except for those... those heartbreaking moments. She remembered hearing Alexander's voice while she was still coughing on the ground and fighting for her consciousness.
She also realized Sebastian had not come to her before she had passed out.
The last thing she remembered was the slightly blurry sight of him looking so... so wretched... so broken. He was just looking at her and she had been stretching her hand towards him, wanting to touch him and hold him and tell him that everything was alright now. But he had not moved. He simply looked at her. He did not take her hand.
But she believed that Sebastian must be in such extreme shock and agony in those moments that he could not even make himself rush to her side and hold her. She believed that he had held her in his arms after she passed out.
"Where is Sebastian?" Elle asked Alicia. She needed to see him. She needed to know that he was alright.
"He's not here..." Alicia looked at her and replied slowly. There was a tinge of carefulness in her tone that made Elle feel even more uneasy. "He's yet to come back. He must be dealing with things related to Elijah right now."
"E-Elijah..." Elle stammered. Her eyes widened with worry and panic after hearing that name. The mere mention of Elijah was enough to make her heart shudder in fear. "I need to see him. Elijah will hurt him again."
"Please stay still, Izabelle." Alicia stopped her from climbing off the bed. "Don't worry about Sebastian. Elijah's on the run and in hiding so there won't be any fight occurring between them anytime soon. I assure you that. So be rest assured that he's not in any danger right now. Alexander and Kyle are also with him."
The reassurance in Alicia's eyes had stopped Elle from insisting on getting down from the bed and rushing off. She clenched on her blanket and tried to calm herself knowing that right now, even if Sebastian was in danger, there was actually nothing that she could do to help him fight his enemy. She knew that right now, the best thing she could do was to stay still in a safe place where Sebastian would not need to worry about her too.
Looking down, Elle silently stared at her hands and at the wedding band that was still sitting pretty around her ring finger when Abi entered the room with food for her to eat.
Seeing her awake, Abi had quickly put down the tray of food and came over to sit beside her before warmly embracing her and Elle gave into the comfort that she provided as she held onto Abi for a long time. She was still feeling fearful from the recent experience and was also upset from not being able to see Sebastian upon waking up. Abi's hug was just the thing she needed to get herself grounded for now.
After whispering comforting words to Elle, Abi then gently let go of her and told her that she needed to eat. Looking at the tray that contained steaming food that was clearly freshly prepared for her, Elle nodded her consent even though she did not particularly feel like eating right now. However, she knew that she needed to upkeep her strength and not worry the two ladies who had been so kind to care for her when she was still unconscious.
While eating her first meal in days, Elle had found out that she had been unconscious for a long time because the witches had performed witchcraft on her to break the curse that was on her. Alicia said the spell casted on her had been very powerful, so they had also countered it with an equally powerful magic. All the magic and procedures had taken a toll on Elle's body which resulted in her being unable to regain her consciousness for days.
"With my current state, my magic is not strong enough. So we had to call for Lilith to help." Alicia answered when Elle asked if she was the one who had performed all those spells on her.
"Lilith... the witch queen!" Elle's eyes widened and Alicia just nodded with a soft smile. Elle had already heard about the witch queen Lilith the last time she was here.
The news that she was now free from the spell made Elle feel so relieved that it was as if a heavy load had fallen off her shoulders. She had finally understood why Sebastian had acted that way the night of their abduction. It was all because she was being used to blackmail him without her even realizing! The abduction was successful because Sebastian had allowed them to stab him with that syringe filled with unknown substances. And that was all because of... because of her.
Her grip on the blanket tightened. The ache in her throat stung so badly that it brought tears to her eyes. Elle felt an extreme sense of guilt as she now knew that the things Sebastian must have gone through during their abduction was caused by her being affected by that curse. Though it was not that she wanted it to happen, the fact that she had been cursed by that spell had led to Sebastian not being able to fight back was true.
"You still need a little more rest, Izabelle." Alicia's soft voice broke the silence. "Don't worry, it's just for today. Tomorrow, you'll be fully recovered, so just bear with it, okay?"
Elle nodded and thanked Alicia for her hospitality.
"Don't mention it, Izabelle. You're a family member." Alicia replied with a genuine and beautiful smile.
Watching her leave the room, Elle noticed how her beautiful silver hair looked kind of ashen right now. It was a bright shiny silver the last time she was here. What had happened to her and Azy during that time? She also could not help but notice the seemingly weaker air around her compared to before. It was as though Alicia was...
"Is... Alicia sick, Abi?" Elle asked.
