Chapter 197: A Visitor Out To Kill
Aleksander gazed at his wife splayed beautifully on their now crumpled sheets. Her dainty features were beautifully sculpted by the shadows from flames that danced inside their room.
Elys’ sweaty body glistened in the dark, emitting intoxicatingly sweet and delicious scents to his sensitive nose. He could feel his fangs extending as a primal hunger rose in him.
He wanted to eat her.
He wanted to make her his.
And finally, he succeeded tonight.
The young king scooted closer to her side of the bed to snake an arm around her waist. He pulled her into his arms, creating a cocoon of safety behind her as his huge frame wrapped her tiny and soft body.
He kissed her shoulder, and Elys mumbled something incomprehensible even for his heightened hearing. She always did talk in her sleep, but thankfully, tonight seemed to be different. She didn’t cry in her sleep, nor did she call out her father or mother. Elys didn’t beg for forgiveness in her unconscious mind.
Aleksander always worried about her when he would hear his wife do that. Her nightmares were just something he couldn’t help her with, no matter how much he tried to reach out. He felt useless when Elys cried.
He didn’t know if her nightmares would come later, but what he could tell though, was that Elys slept like a child right now in his arms.
Aleksander decided to worry when the time comes. Right now, he will enjoy the rare sweet moments that he never dreamed could become his reality.
