Chapter 216: Eat You Alive
The knights stationed outside Elys and Aleksander’s shared bedchamber jolted as they saw the king marching towards them. At first, they were confused what he was carrying on his shoulder, but the kicking feet and trail of blazing scarlet hair was clearly the queen.
"Open the doors," Aleksander commanded them as he neared them.
The knights immediately did as they were told. The huge double doors opened as they pushed, and Aleksander entered quickly with his flailing wife still beating his back to a pulp in resistance.
The heavy thud of the doors shutting behind them muffled a bit of Elys’ voice, but the knights could still hear her scream like her mouth was right beside their ears.
"PUT ME DOWN, VAMPIRE!" Elys shrieked at the top of her lungs.
"Alright," Aleksander responded, "my beloved queen, your wish is my command."
With a swift movement, Aleksander lifted Elys off of his shoulders and then threw her to their bed. She bounced on the soft mattress, and attempted to roll over and out of the bed.
But soon after Aleksander put her down, he was quick to cage her with his whole body. His hands pinned her wrists to the bed with a deadly grasp, his legs leaning on to her thighs to stop her from kicking.
"I will kill you!" Elys hissed at him.
"I have heard that several times from your mouth, dear wife," Aleksander retorted, "and yet, I am still alive. Funny how shallow the threats you throw my way, is it not?"
His wife scowled at his sarcasm and quickly responded, "Oh, I would love it very much to make those same threats deeper than the darkest void if you think they are shallow."
