Chapter 66: Hello, Love
Ravenna swayed her hips wildly, unapologetically gulping down chrome vodka, while grinning with her eyes at Nyx.
Nyx felt her blood rush watching the girl dance with untamed energy, more like she had done this before. It was until she saw a silhouette of someone whom she didn’t want to ask help from, but in that situation, she had no other choice.
Nyx went on and grabbed Ravenna’s hand, dragging down towards Alex , who seemed to be looking for someone.
"Hey! Alex," Nyx called in a whisper, afraid that the unexpected guest might be somewhere around and hear her.
Alex sighed in relief when he saw them. "I’ve been looking for you all over. Where did you go and what’s... these you are wearing?"
"There’s no time to explain. Do you have somewhere we could hide? Like some place where no one has access to?" Nyx desperately asked, and Ravenna nodded in agreement towards Alex.
Alex could see they were clearly teriffied. "The only place where no one has access is the big boss’ lounge. Actually, he sent me here to look for you."
"What?"
"Why?"
Both the girls asked simultaneously, thinking maybe Alaric had used his influence to buy the big boss.
"Don’t panic. He was very impressed when he saw how swiftly and effortlessly you fought earlier and wanted to meet you," Alex explained.
Ravenna sighed and had already started to drag Nyx now. "Alex, take us to the big boss. We would also love to meet him."
"Okay," Alex smiled and turned to lead the way.
"Wait!" It was Nyx, letting go of Ravenna’s hand. "What’s your big boss’ name?"
Ravenna was about to argue, but Nyx shushed her.
Alex groaned, irritated, but nevertheless replied, "Mr. Nightveil. Mr. Alaric Nightveil. Why?"
There was a moment of silence between the three as the ladies trembled. They looked at each other and gave a shaky laugh.
"We are done for, Nyx."
"I know."
"There’s nowhere to run to."
Ravenna felt her legs grow weak, and she staggered backwards but ended up colliding her back with someone.
"I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean..." Her voice died down when turned she saw those familiar dark eyes that haunted her for the past two months.
He was there, intensely scrutinising her face, as if she had returned from the dead.
"Hello, love. Done running?" his voice, dark and intoxicating, wrapped around her like a forbidden temptation.
Ravenna swallowed in fear and something she was quite familiar with. Fire of desire. It seemed his charm had not lost, and as usual, the mere sight of him stirred something inside her. Deep, unfulfilled, and demanding.
"Alaric," She murmured silently, unable to look away from him, or rather, she dared not. Not when she knew it would intensify the anger he was already holding in. "How are you doing?"
Alaric did not reply instantly. His left hand went around Ravenna’s waist, closing the distance between them, the other holding her chin.
"How do you think I’m doing, hmm?" He caressed her chin lightly with his thumb, a weak smile on the corner of his lips. "Did you enjoy your little vacation?"
Ravenna unconscious nodded but then shook her head when realization hit her. "I..." Words got stuck on her throat when she felt his hot breath on her face.
"Now it’s my turn." He did not wait for her reply before lifting her off the ground and sped out with large strides towards a lift.
The other two people were left frozen on the ground like statues.
"What just happened?" Alex asked, his voice hoarse.
"I need to escape. Yes, escape," Nyx murmured to herself, still looking at the now closed lift. She felt pity for Ravenna and wished all the luck in the world.
Alex heard her and turned towards her. "Do you people know the big boss?"
Nyx sighed and nodded sadly. "Unfortunately, yes. I work for him, and as for Ravenna..." She left her sentence incomplete, her worried expression replaced by a wry grin, yet mocking and sorrowful, then slid her arm on his shoulder, patting lightly. "You can guess whom she’s to him."
Alex was not dump enough not to understand. "The man you’ve been talking about is the big boss, right?"
Nyx nodded, pursing her lips. "Good thing you never made a move on because I couldn’t guarantee your safety."
"And my job too. Phew! Thank heavens for saving me this time." Alex sighed. "Though I did like her a lot. She’s one in a million."
"Let the boss not hear that." Nyx playfully pulled his neck.
"Haiya! Do you want to chock me to death? I’m heartbroken, and you should be comforting me," Alex complained, patting the left side of his chest.
"Oh, there, baby boy," Nyx rubbed the same area, feigning sadness, then softly punched him. "Stop whining like a child. There are many ladies waiting to have a chance with you, I bet."
Alex frowned before his eyes shone, a smug smirk on his face. "Are you one of them?"
He lifted his hand to touch her hair, but it was caught midway and thrown back. "Careful where you put your hands."
Another man from nowhere was standing protectively beside Nyx, glaring at Alex like he was the biggest sinner. If looks could kill, innocent Alex would be six feet’s under the ground without knowing what his was.
Finn held Nyx’s hand and silently walked out of Lún Huí with her. Something was burning inside him. A fire he had never felt before, and the thirst to shed someone’s blood was consuming him. But when he felt the warm hand on his, his anger slowly vanished.
Nyx on the other hand clenched her free hand. Her heartbeat were too loud and she knew the man beside could hear it. She only hoped he would not get a hint of what was happening to her because she could not be able to explain to him. He would only take it as one of her jokes. If it was possible, she would keep her feelings to herself forever. She had been able to do so for centuries of experiencing life and death and could so for the remaining time she had. Witches could not live forever and had the same lifespan as humans but the reason why she was there for centuries was because she had dies more than six times and had been revived each time for a purpose. And every lifetime, she had always bore feelings for one clueless man. Him.
