Chapter 76
***LUCY'S POV***
The trip back to the castle was dead silent,Alexander didn't say a single word and neither did I but I knew we both had questions running around wild in our minds. We got out of the vehicle and silently entered the castle. He led the way back to his room and I followed silently.The silence was almost deafening-it had me wishing for his arrogant sarcastic comments.Anything was better than this.We got to his room ,as I took a step into the room his hand was on my throat within a second pinning me to the wall. He was definitely a King full of surprises.
I looked at him with wide eyes seeking an answer for his sudden attack-like seriously I thought this dramatic night was finally over. His eyes had turned into a dark stormy grey,to me that was better than the obsidian black he had previously. "What are you doing!"I coughed out,my throat was already sore with all the choking I was going through since the incident at Sharma's place.
"What am I doing?I am not the one with a dagger strapped on my thigh,"he said as his hand grabbed the dagger ,'oh shit'
"It's not what you...think" I stammered as he increased his grip on my neck.
He studied the dagger maintaining the grip on my neck "A hell bringer,you wanted to put me to sleep...you.What made you think you even had a chance,"
"I wasn't going ...to..."I ran out of air before I could finish my statement and he released me.I fell on the floor taking deep breaths, I looked up at him "I wasn't going to use it on you."
He was staring at me "Then why do you have it...or better yet where did you get it?"
I knew he knew the answer to his own question,it bothered me why he still asked. I sat on my knees properly prepared to crawl in the furthest corner if he decided to attack me again "I got it from the witch-for protection" I lied about the last part.I didn't want Sharma to get into trouble after all she did save his life and who knows if I pinned it on Iris he might not believe me especially after I found out their relationship was so deep.Plus I remember her words back at the field perfectly 'You cannot kill me,you need me'
"To protect yourself from me,so you are still planning on putting me to sleep then,"he said as a matter of fact
I glared at him "It's only normal that I still consider the idea,after all your very existence threatens mine." I said fed up of being careful around him all the time.I already knew he wasn't going to kill me anytime soon,he needed me alive to carry his heir . I had to be brave,I had to stand up for myself...or else If I kept being the weak scared Lucy who always depended on her friends I was as good as dead in this world.
He narrowed his eyes at me and suddenly smirked "You have grown a smart mouth as well,what else did the witch teach you while you were in that cabin with her?"
"nothing," I replied him slowly.
"I see..."he said walking towards his bed holding the dagger "This dagger can put me to sleep alright but what you and your witch don't know is that I can only sleep for so long,"he said with a smirk
"what do you mean?" I asked standing up
He sat on the edge of his bed "The hell bringer takes me back to my own personal hell,I sleep only to wake up in my own nightmare-which is my past I'm sure the witch told you that.However hell has its own time limit depending on how strong I am,if I break because of the emotional trauma my stay there is extended but If I don't break then 'boom'.I will be back here in a second and I will not hesitate to kill you or that seer"
I stood close to the door "What if I burn your body before you wake up?" I asked prepared to run if he attacked me for knowing ways on how to get rid of him but he didn't he just smiled...an actual beautiful smile.
"Really...Lucy you cannot burn the devil.Do you know where I come from,I come from the flames...I was built by fire. Do you know why they call me the first of my kind?"he asked,one moment he was sitting on the edge of his bed and the next he was right in front of me.His face was inches away from mine,I could feel his warm breath fanning my nose.
I shook my head "Why?"I asked and he smirked
"I will leave you to figure that out.I think I have given you quite a lot to think about."he said twirling a strand of my hair and my eyes followed his little action.
"Why do they call you Blood Reigner?" I decided to ask. I needed something to distract me from his touch,even if he was just playing with my hair.That action itself brought unwanted butterflies in my stomach.
He smirked and his warm hand was suddenly behind my neck.I felt as if there were a thousand tingling sparks on that spot but I did my best to ignore that by keeping a straight face without removing my gaze from him.It almost looked as If we were about to make out. "Why do you think they call me that?" he asked and I almost groaned in annoyance.
"Why do you keep dodging my questions?" I breathed out when he pulled my face impossibly closer,I was sure If I made any little movement my face would be stuck to his.
He grinned and his grey eyes sparkled with mischief ,he was definitely up to no good. "Okay ,I will answer this question but first you need to tell me something."
"What?" I asked curiously,what could he possibly want to know.
"Why did you accept the hell bringer If you really had no intentions of killing me?"
I scrunched up my eyebrows, "I...I don't know". I really didn't know why I still took it,I had already made up my mind before she even strapped the dagger on my thigh but I still took it for some reason.
He looked at me for the longest second before nodding his head "Fair enough, they call me Blood Reigner because I earned the name. I have conquered and bathed in so much blood in my life time, not even heaven can save me from the blood I have shed"
