Hellbound With You Chapter 921 Risk it all

Chapter 921 Risk it all

"Then… we don't have a choice, do we? We already could not do anything to help Zeke. We'd be d.a.m.ned if we just stood around and watched again as we allow his woman to die!" Alex stated.

"What should we do then?" Kyle looked at both Alex and Zeres with a grave and worried face.

"Zeres and I will launch an attack." After Alex laid out the plan, he faced Zeres. "She's powerful so we really need to attack her as though we intend to harm her, Zeres. Don't hold anything back… this is also for her sake as much as for ours. Don't hesitate to injure her if needed. Injuries still can be healed. But once she's gone, that is it. You get it, right?"

Zeres did not respond for a couple of seconds before quietly nodding. All of them were reluctant but they all knew that there was no other choice. Alicia's aim was set on reopening the gates. She even seemed unaware of their presence at this point. All that was in her mind was to rescue her beloved husband. With that intensity of determination, she had probably even gotten blinded by her overwhelming power right now. So they could only expect her to blindly attack them the moment they tried to stop her. Just by looking at her, they could tell that she was not going to let anyone intervene or stop her.

Another wave of her intense power crashed over them, and the silvery lights now turned fully scarlet. "d.a.m.n it! Now!" Alex yelled as they saw the darkness started swirling in that familiar fas.h.i.+on again. She really had the chops to open it!

Alex and Zeres attacked in sync just with a look at each other. Alicia turned towards them even before they could reach her. Her powerful magic pulsated from each of her palms, one shot aimed at Alex and Zeres each. Dodging her fatal attack with his fastest move, Alex's hand shot out and caught her wrist and held it captive. Alicia turned to him when Zeres suddenly appeared to her right, catching her off guard and gripping onto her other hand.

"Stop, Alicia!" Alex shouted at her.

"Alicia, please! You're going to die!" Zeres begged.

Her scarlet eyes welled. She heard them. She was aware. Her body trembled but her insane power did not subside in the least. "Let me go, please…" her voice was soft and weak and filled with nothing but pain. "I am already dead… Ezekiel is the only reason I am still here, alive. Without him, I… I don't think I can accept it. So please let me go…" she smiled at them. "Please let me follow him there."

Zeres shook his head. "No, you can't… you can't Alicia. Kiel didn't take you with him because he never wanted you to follow him there. Can't you see he wanted you to –" Zeres tried reasoning with her, but she cut him off.

"No!" she yelled. "Ezekiel didn't have the chance to take me, Zeres! I knew something went wrong! Something must have gone wrong! So, I'm going to go after him. He needs me –"

"You're not a demon, Alicia!!!" Zeres' gripped on her wrist tightened even harder. "You'll die before you can even do anything for him!!!" He shouted at her, not bothered to be kind with his words anymore. He just wanted her to snap out of it.

Alicia shook her head, refusing to listen to Zeres. "Let go… don't force me to harm you both…"

"I'm sorry Alicia, but I'm with Zeres. We're not going to let you harm yourself. Zeke will never forgive us if we just stepped back and let you do this. Not under my watch." Alex's voice was not loud, but it was beyond serious. Alicia did not say anything anymore.

She knew she was being irrational. She knew that if she were in their shoes, she would have done the same. However, this was her decision. For the first time ever, she just wanted to do this selfish act. Without any care about the implications. She just wanted this for herself!

She was aware more than anyone else that this was dangerous. But for him, she was willing to risk it all. No… this was not just for him. She knew this was more for herself.

It was unspeakable. The pain in heart was unspeakable. It was a pain she knew only Ezekiel, could soothe.

They say that the hardest decision was whether to let go or to hold on, but right now, Alicia did not think so. Because letting go never was an option for her. She would not let go. Never! She would not give him up. He had made her so powerful… so she was going to use this very same power to bring him back into her arms again. No matter the risk that was involved.

Just as Alex and Zeres thought that she was finally coming back to her senses, Alicia caught them off guard. Her power pulsed, stronger than ever that the two men who had loosened their grip on her were thrown away from her. The scarlet color of the magic coming from her turned a deep dark crimson as her blood mingled with it.

The dungeon trembled as though it was shaken by an earthquake. Dark energy pulsated once again and before Alicia could turn towards the still slightly opened gate to finally force it fully open, someone had suddenly embraced her from behind. A familiar embrace. A pair of arms she thought she had lost.

Everything seemed to come to a halt. Her entire being became rigid. And her heart skipped a few beats at the feel of him, hugging her.

"Alicia…" Ezekiel's gentle voice echoed in her ears, seeping through her aching soul. Then large fat droplets of tears fell and formed a river flowing down the beautiful curves of her cheeks.
