Chapter 115: Release Her
Elys knew by now that Aleksander’s magic could only activate with eye contact. The things that he could do with such powers were beyond her. The amount of emotional damage he could cause with just a glance could mean the death of his enemies.
She should know, she had been under his magic twice now, the last almost breaking her will to live.
Elysianne let out a soft smirk, to which Aleksander’s sensitive hearing picked up immediately.
"Are you actually laughing at the situation we have here, wife?" he asked in confusion.
Elys only shook her head and waved her hand in denial, "No, I was just thinking how you didn’t even lift a finger back then when your powers was just as terrifying as your father’s. I could tell now that you took after him in spite of everything."
Without speaking a word, Aleksander swiftly moved towards Elys, his face twisted with the comparison his wife made of him and his father.
His bare feet tapped at the cold tower’s floors. Elys could barely hear his movements with how light his footsteps were.
If she had not been looking at Aleksander, she would never be able to guess he was coming for her – except maybe if she focused her other senses aside from sight.
The young vampire king crossed the distance between them in mere seconds, reaching for his wife’s face with his long fingers. His cold hand cupped Elys’ cheeks on both sides, a playful spark in his eyes.
