362 God of slaughter (1/2)

Back in the capital, Zeke emerged from the forest with a serious expression. He was drenched from the downpour and his white shirt was stained red. His hair was a mess but still looked more imposing than ever.

The two young men waiting by the roadside didn't move from their spot upon seeing their brother, while Zeke just glanced at them, expressionless.

Zeke ran his fingers through his hair as he continued walking. He then halted before them.

”Speak,” said Zeke without looking at them. His eyes were directed towards the northern mountains in the far distance.

The prim and proper young man stepped over to him and whispered something in Zeke's ear. What the young man said somewhat changed Zeke's poker face.

”Wait for my instruction” was all Zeke said in response and he disappeared before them.

The two young men just watched him leap away and once he was gone, they sighed.

”Geez… brother is still as cold as ever. I still can't help but hold my breath and shut my mouth in case I say something wrong,” the other, less serious, young man complained. ”Is he going after Alexander?”

”Obviously,” the other one said and they both boarded their respective sports cars and left.

The clouds were dark and gray and it continued to drizzle.

Zeke was fast as lightning as he travelled towards White Falls Village following Alex's trail.

Meanwhile, Alex had already arrived at White Falls Village and he suddenly felt uneasy. He had calmed down on his way to this place, thinking that his little lamb was probably in their hotel room, sulking, and waiting for him to comfort her. He had even smiled like an idiot thinking about how he would surprise her.

But his smile broke when he couldn't find her anywhere in the village. He had looked in all the places they had visited and there was no sign of her. His eyes started to burn and his heart thudded inside his chest.

The darkness enveloped his being as his gaze surveyed the dark forest. He didn't know why but he ended up at the entrance of the forest. And there it was, the car they used to go back to the palace.

Alex opened the car and smelled her presence. Why did she come here? He couldn't see any signs of a struggle, meaning she came here on her own? Why?

The only thing that Alex could think of was that those damn witches somehow managed to manipulate his little lamb.

The fury and rage burned even fiercer inside him as he looked into the forest. It was as if the devil in him had been awakened. The rampaging dragon that had just fallen asleep was waking up once again.

He had to stay in control. He couldn't let his inner dragon loose this time around because his little lamb could get hurt in the process. The thought that his little lamb might get hurt because of his actions was the only thing that stopped him from going berserk and destroying everything.
