Hellbound With The Vampire King-Chapter 105: Unknown Man In Mask

Chapter 105: Unknown Man In Mask

Serena heard the High Priest say, "You’re the chosen one... You’d bring change to the vampire kingdom. We’ve been waiting for you and now, you’re finally here." The high priest words was distorted and it echoed in Serena’s mind three times. His voice breaking as it repeats those words, and she felt chills running down her whole body.

Serena felt cold dread wash over her as the man kept repeating the words, his eyes looked devoid of emotions like he was having a vision. She tried to get away from this numb-like haze, but it felt like something was pulling her back, deeper into her own mind, with the High Priest as her sole companion.

She wanted out as it felt like she was trapped in a maze in her own consciousness. Serena ran around for a while, in what looked like a room, a black dull room, when she felt someone pull her hands, Serena turned as she felt the pull only to see the face of the High Priest, but after a while it changed to Eiravyn’s face, Serena was about to release the breath of relieve.

When she saw Eiravyn’s face morphed into someone unrecognizable, someone she had never see before. This person was dressed in a black long tunic, his whole face was covered with a black mask, which made it difficult to see his face. There was something very intimidating with the way he stared at her, a darkness that lingered in his red eyes.

She realized that it was this man that was with her in the room, and not the High Priest, Serena tried to pull her arms away from his hold.

"Finally the bride is here," Serena heard the strange man say, then he started laughing in a scary and eerie way, that made her skin break out in goosebumps.

"Arggh! Let me go!!! Eiravyn! Please help me!"

Serena didn’t know who this man was or why he said what he said, but what she know was that she was uncomfortable and wanted out of this cold room, but the man hold on her arms was tight and firm, and she was finding it hard to remove his hold on her.

"Eiravyn! Please help me, I’m in here!"

The man reacted strongly, like her screaming had triggered something in him, he moved to cover her mouth, as he said. "Do you realize how long have been waiting for this moment, don’t worry, it’s not time yet. I’m only here to see what you look like." He spoke with so much conviction, and fury as Serena struggled more.

"You look prettier in person." The man suddenly said, and was about to touch Serena’s cheek, when he heard a loud bang behind him! The man turned around in time to see a furious Eiravyn making his way into the room.

Eiravyn noticed that something was strange with his mate, he held her hands, looking at her face. Her eyes were still closed, he could see how her face had settled to form a deep frown, before turning to a scowl. It loooked like she was having a dream. His face was dark, his unease evident in his expression and body language. It was obvious he didn’t like this thing that was happening, and would have been okay if Serena was just an ordinary human. His reaction showed how much he disliked that she was becoming more deeply involved in his dangerous world, in this hell that he had inadvertently dragged her into.

"Why isn’t she back to the present?" It was the High Priest who spoke, and that seemed to have pulled Eiravyn out of his thoughts.

Eiravyn glanced at him, his red eyes dark, and gaze hardened with tension. His hold on Serena’s hands was very tight. "I should be asking you that question. Why is my mate still like this, Fei? And what happened a while ago?"

The High Priest merely shrugged, "I don’t know, I only passed a message to her, but it seemed like she’s currently stuck in her mind." The way the man said it was like he could careless and this made Eiravyn more furious.

"You have been trying my patient lately, Fei. And I wonder how long I’d last." Eiravyn clenched his jaw as he felt his rage very close to the surface. His red eyes blazing violently.

"What do you have to tell her that you’ve to say in her mind, Fei?" Eiravyn questioned as he started taking slow steps towards the High Priest, he was about to grab the old man neck, when he heard Serena call to him through the mate bond.

His steps paused instantly, and he wondered if he had heard wrong. After a while, he heard her again. This time, Eiravyn was sure she was the one, without bothering to think things through or waiting for a third confirmation. Eiravyn immediately gained assess to Serena’s mind, without her consent.

After walking aimlessly in her mind for some time, Eiravyn turned in time to see Serena standing in front of a dark room, he could see clearly because of his vampire heightened sight, and he saw a man cloaked in black from head to toe, it was the same man he saw in the turned vampire’s mind the other time, he knew this because he had safely stored the memory of the man’s appearance in his mind.

What struck him was the way the man had grabbed Serena’s hand, Eiravyn rushed to them, his step strong and purposely, as if rushed. He was about to...

And then the door to Serena’s mind disappeared and the man also disappeared. She had closed her eyes as the man closed in on her, she had not noticed Eiravyn’s presence, she just felt air swoosh through her face and the man was gone!

Serena shivered as her shoulders started to shake. Eiravyn’s voice woke her up from her frozen shock and her body started to react. Everything had happened so fast that she couldn’t process what was happening or what had happened.
