Chapter 286: In The Cave
Jules pov
My heart was racing so fast that I could hear it In my ears as I exhaled a shaky breath. The entrance of the lair seemed like it was mocking me at this point because I’ve been standing out here for minutes now.
I sucked in a deep breath for strength, and then I tentatively walked into the cave. I reminded myself that he was yet to growl at me, and I reminded myself that he definitely know that I was coming in right now since he must have definitely smelt me. That’s a great sign, right?
I kept my eyes wide open, but it was completely pitch black inside the large cave which made it impossible for me to see anything.
I willed upon a ball of sunlight on my upturned palm which instantly brightened everywhere up. I kept staring sideways as I kept walking deeper into the cave, because I was scared of encountering something else in here.
My heart was lodged in my throat, I wasn’t even breathing as I kept going forward. I kept thinking I’d come across blaze at every next moment but that wasn’t the case, and that made me grow nervous and strung up while wondering if he was really in here.
I kept walking in, and at a point, a low sound slowly began to echo off the wall. I instantly stiffen, eyes going wide as I hastily glanced around from where the slithering sound came from. It ended up being a snake and I heaved out a relieved sigh while feeling ridiculous.
However, after taking two more steps forward, I suddenly felt a strong presence in the air, one which made me stumble. My heart hammered against my ribs and I struggled to gasp for breath as a low growl began to fill off the cave almost immediately. I was frozen in place, while the growl echoing from behind me grew even louder.
I managed to turn around and my heart almost flew past my throat at the sight I was greeted with.
