HELLBOUND HEART
Chapter 311 Inhuman
But there was something different, something terrifying about him. There was just something... something beyond his unreal good looks that made her shiver with fear just by looking at him. The air around him was shrouded with an ominous energy that was indescribable, and she felt as though she was in the presence of a force beyond human comprehension. He definitely did not come across as human.
A chill ran down Elle's spine as she gazed at the man before her. There was an otherworldly aura emanating from him, making her feel like she was in the presence of a creature not meant for this world. Every inch of him seemed to radiate a palpable sense of inhumanity, as if he were some kind of malevolent force that had taken on the outer coating of a human form. It was as though a condensed form of a wild power had been compressed and harnessed into the shell of a human. Elle could not shake the feeling that there was no trace of humanity in him, no shred of empathy or compassion. It was as if he was a being of pure darkness, with nothing to connect him to the world of the mortals.
A disapproving sound echoed from the other male, pulling Elle's attention from the man next to her.
"Did you slip and end up killing them?" the terrifying man asked, his eyes fixed on the other man across from him.
"They fainted on their own. I didn't even do anything yet," the other man teasingly defended himself from his partner's accusation. Elle's eyes widened hearing the banter between these two godlike or demonlike persons before her. She could not believe it. That voice. She has heard that voice before! I know this voice! She did not know how or why, but she just knew that she knew it!
Suddenly, Elle's mind was flooded with memories of a man sitting with her in his lap, the book of choice in her own lap while he was reading her a story when she was younger. Though she could not quite see his face, the sound of his voice was unmistakable. It was the same voice she had just heard. Could it be...?
"I'm certain you did something." The man next to Elle chuckled darkly. "You just failed to notice what it was that you had done."
With a jolt, Elle's body lurched forward and she lifted herself up, leaning on her elbow. It was as though a surge of adrenaline had shot through her veins, giving her a brief moment of strength. But as she steadied herself, her hands trembled uncontrollably, her weakened body struggling to maintain her balance on the cold stone altar beneath her.
The man beside her made a move to help, but someone else's hand grabbed his wrist and stopped him in his tracks.
"I just told you not to touch her, Gav." The man with the familiar voice said firmly.
But the man named Gav smirked mischievously in response to his partner, an elegant brow arched up in question.
"It's instinct, Zeke." He replied with a shrug.
Elle shrank back. Her mind was screaming in disbelief after hearing that particular name.
Zeke?! Ezekiel?! The owner of this voice was Ezekiel?!
She turned her face slowly.
The man named Zeke was... Elle was speechless.
It was like looking at the painting of a god, his features perfectly chiseled and sharp. He was utterly otherworldly. It was as if he had been crafted by some divine hand, sculpted out of marble and brought to life by some dark magic. His looks were just unreal!
"P-prince Ez...Ezekiel?!" Elle stammered. She knew at that moment that this man was no other than Ezekiel, her ex-brother-in-law, so to speak. He is Sebastian's brother and Alicia's husband! He was the missing prince!
Elle was in shock, her mind reeling with the revelation that the man standing before her was the long-lost prince.
"You've grown." He replied after a few moments of silence and Elle found herself unable to speak. It was just two words but why did those words tug at something within her? In that moment, Elle's mind was flooded with flashes of memories, like a sudden storm. Memories that seemed to have been erased from her mind for so long. She remembered a man in a black suit reading her a story and then she remembered the same man wearing a surgeon's clothes. He wore a blank, unfathomable expression the entire time, but she saw her younger self smiling so happily at him.
"You're... un... uncle Zeke!" her eyes were wide circles. The man named Gav chuckled. "Did this girl just call the almighty Zeke as her uncle?"
Zeke simply glanced at the chuckling man before returning his gaze back to Elle. "Apologies, but I cannot help you to sit up. Neither of the two of us can touch you." Zeke explained.
"Why?" Elle was taken aback by her own audacity in asking a question, but she could not help it.
Despite recognizing Zeke, he seemed somewhat different from the 'him' in her memories. Elle could not help but feel confused and bewildered by the memories and the man before her who was nothing like she remembered. But despite the shock, she found herself brazenly asking him questions. His face looked different, and his demeanor was unrecognizable from what she recalled. He seemed to be no different from the man named Gav, except for the fact that every time Zeke looked at her, she could still see a glimmer of humanity in his eyes that was completely absent in Gav's.
"Here's what happens when we touch living beings from another world." Gav spoke as he touched the masked man's arm. The masked man's skin blackened and cracked, as if being consumed by an invisible fire. The pungent smell of burning flesh filled the air, and the man writhed and screamed silently in agony. Elle shuddered at the thought that Gav had nearly touched her. If Zeke had not stopped him in time...

Chapter 312 Princes
Gav withdrew his hand, and the burning stopped, leaving behind a charred and lifeless hand. Elle could not help but feel grateful that Zeke had stopped Gav from touching her. She could not have imagined the pain she would have to endure if the powerful demon had laid his hand on her.
The masked man fainted in pain again.
"Why are..." Elle swallowed as she returned her attention to Zeke. She struggled to twist herself and did her best to get up into a sitting position. "Why are you two... in here?"
Finally, Elle managed to sit. Panting, she focused her gaze onto Zeke. He was as scary as Gav, but she found that she was not as scared of Zeke. And this was something she was so relieved for. She didn't even know if she'd even have the courage to ask like this if Prince Ezekiel wasn't around.
"Could it be that... you're stuck in here? In this place?!" she exclaimed, remembering the fact that Prince Ezekiel had been missing for years. She immediately found that train of thought a little ridiculous though especially when it was beyond obvious to her how powerful these two were.
"You summoned us, young lady." Gav was the one who answered her. Prince Ezekiel had only continued to look at her, not saying anything.
"Summoned? I don't remember summoning anyone!" she exclaimed, trying to recall what had happened before she blacked out. After thinking for a while and still not able to remember anything, Elle shook her head as though trying to shake off the cobwebs in her brain.
Gav's gaze intensified, and she felt a chill run down her spine. "You don't remember?"
Elle shook her head. "No... I really don't," she said, feeling a sense of fear creeping up on her.
Gav laughed, a sinister sound that sent shivers down her spine. "Looks like we've got ourselves a little problem here, Zeke," he said.
Zeke's gaze lingered on the carvings etched into the stone walls surrounding the altar, a silent contemplation on his face. "It seems this was a ritual that had gone wrong," he finally spoke up.
Elle's memory slowly started to clear up, and she finally recalled what had happened to her. She had been brought here to break the curse on the werewolves by using her blood. But that had nothing to do with summoning demons.
"I was taken here to... um, those people..." she pointed at the unconscious creatures on the floor. "They said that they're going to use my blood to break the curse of the werewolves."
Gav smiled in wonder and disbelief. "You're saying this young lady here summoned the two of us by accident? Now that's even more amazing. I still can't believe such a being like you..." he eyed Elle in wonder.
"... Actually managed to summon not one but two of the most powerful princes of the underworld."
Elle's eyes widened. What did he say? Princes of Underworld? Zeke and this Gav were princes of Underworld?! God... she was starting to feel lightheaded from all this surreal information again. If she were not being extra careful with that Gav around, she would have been laughing hysterically right now. The heavens sure liked to give weird twists and turns in her life.
"I wonder how she managed to do that though..." Gave added, sauntering gracefully around the altar like he was trying to find a clue from something supernatural. "And to think she's still alive. It would make sense if it's just you, Zeke, that she managed to summon. But me as well?"
"I believe it's because of the demon blood she also possesses and because she's a one of a kind individual." Zeke calmly replied. "As for you, it should be because Lit... Izabelle might also be having fae blood running in her veins, just like you."
Gav stilled. Elle on the other hand gaped. This was yet another twist that she had totally not expected.
"Ah... " Gav looked like he was finally enlightened. "Now that makes sense. No wonder your blood smelt... familiar." For a moment there, Elle saw a flash in Gav's eyes. And it was something almost human. But it disappeared in an instant. Completely gone without any trace. "Now what's going to happen next?" Gav tilted his head a little as he looked at Zeke.
"The gate should open anytime soon to swallow us back. We can't stay anywhere out of the Underworld for long, even summoned, after all." Zeke explained.
What? They're going to disappear again? That soon?
Before Elle could speak to tell him more about his family - his wife and son - the earth shook.
A low rumble filled the air, growing louder and more intense by the second. The walls and ceiling of the underground chamber shook violently, sending bits of debris and dust raining down on them. Elle gripped the edge of the stone altar with both hands, knuckles having turned bone white and her heart racing a mile a minute with fear.
"What is happening?" Elle cried out, her voice barely audible over the roar of the earthquake.
As the rumbling grew louder, Elle could feel her heart jumping against her ribcage. The ground beneath them shook violently, sending bits of debris falling from the ceiling. But despite the chaos, Zeke and Gav remained calm, their attention never straying and fully affixed on the source of the disturbance.
Gav crossed his arms over his chest, leaning casually against the altar where Elle was sitting, while Zeke stood tall and composed, seemingly never even moving from his earlier spot. The two men looked as though they were waiting for some entertainment while Elle's mind raced as she tried to make sense of the situation, struggling not to panic. Who or what could be causing such a commotion?
"Now who could this another..." Gav trailed off.
Elle also caught her breath as she felt this all too familiar presence. S-seb?!
And then, as suddenly as it had begun, the shaking immediately died down. But Elle's relief was short-lived as a figure emerged from the shadows. It was Sebastian! However, his eyes were blazing with fury.

HELLBOUND HEART
Chapter 313 Brothers
Elle's heart leapt into her throat as she laid eyes on Sebastian. She gasped, feeling as if time had stood still, for a moment. Her mind raced as she drank in the sight of the man she dearly loved, standing before her in the flesh. He was not just a figment of her overactive imagination. It felt like an eternity since they had last seen each other, even though it had only been several hours in actual fact.
But her emotions were quickly overtaken by the realization of the entire figure of Seb standing there. The darkness that surrounded him was eerily reminiscent of what she had felt around Zeke and Gav from their appearance earlier. Seb's striking grey eyes were now completely consumed by the darkness, and he looked... utterly dangerous.
The darkness around him seemed completely uncontrollable, and it was clear that Sebastian was not his normal self. Elle could not help but feel a chill run down her spine as she took in his imposing figure. She had never seen him like this before!
In that moment, she felt a deep sense of unease gripping her heart hard.
It was as if the man she loved had completely disappeared, replaced by someone or something else entirely. Something darker and more sinister that was just lurking beneath the surface. It was as if he had been possessed by something dark and evil. Right now, he was just like the two men standing next to her.
Elle could not help but wonder what had happened to Seb, and what could be done to bring him back to himself.
Despite her weakness, Elle willed herself to move. Digging her nails into her palms, she used that sharp pain to spur herself and scrambled from the top of the altar to head towards Seb, her heart pounding wildly in her chest. She had to do something to snap him out of that weird state that he was in. She could no longer stand by and watch as the man she loved was lost to this darkness.
But before she could even begin to take a step, Zeke stretched his arm wide across her path, blocking her from going towards Sebastian. 𝚒𝚗𝚗𝚛𝚎ad.𝚌𝚘m
"Let me through," she pleaded wearily, her voice cracking with emotion. She was already using all of her strength to move herself and had no more to spare in trying to get past Zeke who was stopping her from moving forward.
But Zeke's gaze was cold and unwavering, and he refused to budge.
"You can't go to him," he said firmly. "He's too dangerous right now. You could get hurt."
Elle bit her lip hard. She knew that Zeke was just trying to protect her, but she could not bear the thought of standing by and doing nothing while Seb was lost to the darkness.
"I don't care if I get hurt," she retorted. "I have to help him. He needs me." She tried to struggle and get out of his blockade but it was really impossible with his immense strength and her current weakened state. In fact, even if she wasn't this weak, she was certain there's no way she could get past this man!
But she needed to find a way to snap Seb out of his trance, and she could not do it from a distance! She needed to go to him and touch him and make him hear her voice. She knew Sebastian would respondto her like she always did.
"No. Too risky. I can't risk you getting hurt when you're already this weak. You have yet to recover from what has happened to you." Ezekiel's voice still sounded calm but just utterly absolute. Something in him just compelled her to obey even against her will.
"Leave this to us, young lady." Gav piped in and took a step forward, when Zeke shot him a sharp, warning glance. "This is my brother. Don't you dare touch him even by accident."
Gav raised a brow, his reaction showing that he seemed already aware of who Sebastian was. "So this is Sebastian, huh..." he murmured, studying Seb's figure with a critical eye before cocking his head. "I thought he lost his demonic powers. Did he not?"
Elle's eyes widened at the mention of Seb's powers.
"The opening of the gate must be the reason why his powers are back again..." Zeke provided an explanation before trailing off.
Elle's heart lurched as Seb rushed towards them and attacked Zeke out of nowhere. Her eyes shut involuntarily at his sudden attack.
When she opened them again, she saw Seb and Zeke now locked in a fierce battle, both of them moving with lightning-fast speed. Their powers were so strong and fast that Elle could not even follow their movements with her eyes. Seb was attacking his brother like a mindless creature, his movements fueled by an unbridled rage that seemed to be coming from somewhere deep within him.
Zeke, on the other hand, was merely defending himself, moving with fluidity, grace and precision that Elle found utterly unbelievable. She could not help but watch on in awe as he effortlessly dodged Seb's attacks, his movements almost like a dance. As though he had been through this series of steps thousands of times before.
But Elle knew that this was no time to stand by and watch. She had to do something to stop the fighting, to snap Seb out of his trance and bring him back to himself.
She had no idea what she was going to do, but she knew that she had to do something.
Without thinking, she screamed at him, hoping that her voice would penetrate the darkness that seemed to have consumed him. And then, she moved to go to him.
Gav tried to stop her, his carefree voice now holding a tinge of warning. "Don't do what you're planning to do, unless you want to die, young lady."
The man was still nonchalantly standing there, as though he was neither enjoying or getting bored from what was happening before him.

HELLBOUND HEART
Chapter 314 I’m Here
But Elle did not plan to listen. She was determined to reach Sebastian, to do whatever it took to bring him back to himself.
"The man's totally mindless right now, can't you see?" Gav continued. "There's nothing you can do to snap him out of it." It was obvious Gav did not believe one bit that she could do something. "You might just worsen the situation if you insist on going forward. Worse is, you could die in the blink of an eye."
But Elle refused to believe him. She knew that there had to be a way to reach out to Seb, to snap him out of his trance.
"Sebastian will never hurt me," she said firmly and with confidence, her voice unwavering. She knew that Seb was in a dangerous state, but she had faith that he would never hurt her.
But Gav merely smirked, his expression filled with disbelief. "I think you don't quite understand the situation right now, young lady," he said, his tone patronizing. "Sebastian's a half demon. And right now, he's overcome with the darkness within himself. You think a man who couldn't even recognize his own brother can recognize you through his madness?"
"Seb's not mad!" Elle felt a pang of anger at Gav's words. He was right, of course. Sebastian was clearly in a dangerous state, and she did not truly know if she could reach him.
But she refused to give up. She knew that Seb was in there somewhere, buried within the darkness that had consumed him. And she was determined to find him, to bring him back to himself.
"Maybe not," she said, her voice tinged with uncertainty. "But I have to try. I can't just stand by and watch as the man I love is lost to this darkness."
Gav shook his head. Looking at her like she was going mad too. But Elle did not care what this man thought. All she cared for right now was Sebastian.
Elle took a deep breath as she walked forward, determined to reach Seb and bring him back to himself. She was worried about the fierce fighting between the two brothers and the powerful magic that was swirling around them and she was also concerned about the state of the dungeon itself. She had a sinking feeling that it might collapse at any moment. The amount of power being exuded by the two who were fighting, and the pressure it applied on their surrounding was just too immense.
"Don't say I didn't warn you," Gav said. Despite her fears, Elle did not falter. She approached the brothers with a fierce determination, ignoring Gav's warning.
She walked ahead, struggling against the powerful movements and demonic magic that was blocking her way. She gritted her teeth, afraid that she might not be strong enough to even reach Sebastian. The pressure was so great that it was a literal force, like an invisible wall pushing against her and away from the person she wanted to reach. She was like a twig so helpless against a storm. Still, she refused to give up no matter how futile her efforts seemed.
To her surprise, however, her path seemed to be getting cleared up. She whipped around to look behind her back and saw Gav, the terrifying man whom she thought did not have an ounce of humanity in him, was using magic to carve out a path for her.
But his eyes remained cold and heartless. He even looked mad that she did not listen to him or mad at the fact that he was helping a stubborn person like her.
Somehow, she could not help but think that this man was a little adorable.
Swallowing her fear, Elle continued pressing forward, hoping against all hopes that she could reach Seb before it was too late.
As she moved closer to him, she could feel the energy crackling in the air. The darkness around Seb was almost suffocating, threatening to swallow her up.
But she refused to give up. With a fierce determination, she pushed forward, determined to reach Seb. She stretched her arms out, reaching towards him, hoping that she could grab onto him. The pressure of their powers buffeted against her, making her skin sting, turning her fair skin reddish due to the abuse.
Just as Elle was about to touch Sebastian, his power suddenly pulsed, and she braced herself for the possibility of them jumping to another spot in a blur. But thankfully, Zeke grabbed onto Seb and grounded him, holding him in place.
Elle immediately realized that Zeke was giving her a fighting chance, and she did not hesitate even for a second. With a fierce determination, she stepped forward and wrapped her weak arms around Seb's body, which felt like a burning pot of fire.
"Sebastian!" she cried out, her voice filled with emotion. But he did not respond to her calls, his body still consumed by darkness.
So she shouted his name again, tightening her grip around him, squeezing him for all she was worth.
"Seb, I'm here," she said, her voice trembling and filled with tears.
There was no response. Elle felt a surge of fear, wondering if she had been too late, if Seb was lost to the darkness forever.
"I'm here, love. Please stop fighting and look at me." She added, desperate. For a moment, Seb remained still, his body tense and unresponsive. But then, slowly, he began to relax, his breathing slowing down as he finally seemed to recognize her touch.
Elle felt a surge of relief flood through her. She had reached him, somehow. And she knew that she had to keep talking to him, to keep him grounded and connected to reality.
"Sebastian," she whispered, her voice filled with love and tenderness. Her hands also did not stay idle as she rubbed circles into his back, hoping that it would further calm him down. "It's me, your Iza. I'm here, love."

As the darkness that was surrounding Sebastian's body slowly subsided, Elle's heart swelled with utter relief. She had been so afraid. Afraid that the darkness or whatever this powerful energy shrouding her beloved would consume him completely. But now, as he held her face in his hands, she could see the light returning to his eyes.
"Iza!" he exclaimed in a hoarse voice, utter shock and myriads of other emotions were whirling within the depths of his eyes. And without warning, he pulled her into a tight embrace, holding her close as if he was planning to never let go of her ever again.
"I will never… let go of you again, Iza. Never. Do you hear me?" he said, his voice trembling. "Even if you beg, I won't… I won't ever, Izabelle. I don't care if you hate me because I can't… I f**king can't bear even the thought of losing you again. Do you understand?" He sounded so emotional, so desperate that she could literally see how scared he was. There was a slight tremble in his arms that were holding her close to him, as though wanting to pull her close - so close that he could absorb her into himself.
Elle felt tears prick at the corners of her eyes as she returned the tight embrace, holding him just as tightly. She could not believe that despite the unreal and overwhelming power around him, especially when she first appeared in this place, he was actually this scared. That fact that she had caused him to be this traumatized made her heart crack a hundred times over.
"Mmm…" Elle spoke softly, her voice filled with love and tenderness. "I'm sorry for making you worry about me, Seb. I promise I won't try to go anywhere by myself again. And if I do, you'll definitely be going along with me. I promise."
Sebastian held her even tighter, his trembling finally subsiding.
For many long moments, they remained locked in each other's embrace, their bodies pressing tightly together as they held one another close, until Sebastian's eyes dropped down and saw the cuts that were running across Elle's wrists.
"Who... who dared..." he growled, his voice filled with a dangerous intensity as a heavy pressure built around them.
As Sebastian's anger flared up again, Elle knew that she had to do something to calm him down. She did not want him to lose control again, not after she had just managed to get him back to his senses not too long ago!
Without hesitation, she grabbed at his face and pulled him towards her, slanted her head and pressed her lips against his in a desperate kiss. She could feel the ferocious power coursing through his body, just barely being held back from being unleashed, but she did not back down. Instead, she pushed her tongue into his mouth, deepening the kiss and pouring all of her love and passion into it.
eaglesnov?1,сoМ And to her relief, Sebastian's body began to respond and relax under her touch. His power was still pulsing from within him, but it was more controlled and directed electrical surge now rather than a wild and uncontrollable lightning strike from earlier. And then he responded to her with a wild abandon, his tongue meeting hers in a fiery dance of love and desire. Both wanting to conquer, yet wanting to give all of themselves to the other person as well.
Elle was still aware of the other men in the room who were with them and was definitely looking on at their actions, but she did not care. All that mattered to her right now was Sebastian alone.
As the two were lost in their own worlds, consumed by their passion for each other, Gav who was watching the scene with a black face nonchalantly crossed his arms over his chest.
"Now that's interesting. It seems that the little lady's really capable." Gav mumbled, looking pretty amazed and amused at the same time that she indeed had managed to pull Sebastian back to his senses like she had declared a while ago. He had thought she was talking big, but apparently, she was not.
When his gaze fell on Zeke, his brow lifted. "Hmm? You want me to heal her? Like now?" Gav muttered, not bothering to use telepathy even though Zeke was talking to him through it. "And seriously, Zeke… I didn't know you have such a gentle and loving side to you after all when all you do in the Underworld is kill and torture…" he trailed off when Zeke's gaze sharpened.
"Yeah, yeah," Gav chuckled as he raised both his hands in mock surrender. "Demanding as always."
As Gav flicked his fingers, a bluish-dark magic traveled from his fingertips and wrapped around her wrists. It was like nothing she had ever seen before, a smoke-like substance that seemed to pulse with energy.
Feeling the magic flowing through her, Elle looked down at her wrist. The bluish-dark magic wrapped around her wrists, caressing her skin with a strange energy that she had never felt before. It was almost as if the magic had a life of its own, moving and pulsing with a gentle, soothing rhythm. It was like a warm current that soothed her pain. It was a strange sensation, both exhilarating and a little frightening.
Elle watched in amazement as the magic worked its way over her skin, mending her wounds with a speed that seemed almost miraculous. In just a few seconds, her wrists were completely healed. As the magic faded away, Elle examined her wrists, expecting to see at least some sign of the wounds that had been there just moments before. But to her surprise, there was nothing there. No scars, no marks, nothing.
Her gaze followed the magic back to Gav, and she couldn't help but feel a surge of awe at the power he possessed.He had done her a huge favor because it would be very hard for Sebastian to ignore her wounds even if she wasnt bleeding anymore.
