Hellbound With You-Chapter 906 Wedding dress

"Wow, I can't believe it fits me so perfectly." Alicia commented as she looked at herself dressed in the wedding gown through the mirror.

The gown was a charming long sleeved, high-necked mermaid wedding dress. From the chest all the way down to the train, the dress was made of an ivory-colored satin material that wrapped closely to Alicia's body. Over that material, the material was made of a sheer lace that was embroidered with a mix of Swarovski crystal rhinestones and diamantes. The rhinestones were more concentrated around the bodice section, the upper arms, shoulder and neck areas and trailed down to the lower abdomen and hip areas, up to the thighs. Tulle lace tastefully decorated the rest of the skirt flare and the train. The entire dress gave a perfect fit-and-flare effect that showed off the curvy contours of Alicia's hourglass figure. Not only that, the slim fit of the long sleeves also drew attention to her slender but strong arms and the tight fit of the skirt from her hips down to the thighs which then dramatically flared out from above her knees and all the way to the floor only further emphasized her lean thighs and beautifully curved derriere.

She really had nothing to say about the wedding dress. It was nothing less than perfection to her!

Last night, Ezekiel was on his phone. He did not make a call, but she had seen him texting. She was certain that he must be sending out messages about her body measurements and that was why this wedding dress fits perfectly on her to the tee!

He smiled while his eyes looked glossy as he stared at her through the mirror. "Perfect." Was all he said, as though that one word was enough to sum it all up. That caused Alicia's face to glow brighter than it already was as she leaned her back satisfactorily against him.

After taking the wedding dress off with extreme caution as she did not want to damage anything on it, the duo left and headed to a quiet place. They had ended up in Ezekiel's personal library.

Alicia sat on Zeke's chair while Zeke half sat on the desk. His stance was relaxed, and his usual mask was now off.

"I'm ready. You may now start explaining, sir." Alicia leaned forward, eager and curious to finally hear the explanation she was waiting for.

Zeke held her gaze for a while before it strayed to their entwined hands and finally settled on her ring tattoo.

He was quiet for another stretch of time before his moved towards the dark curtain being blown by a soft breeze. "That woman," he started, and those two words were enough to erase the eagerness that was brimming in Alicia's eyes. She immediately felt that the woman Ezekiel was referring to was no one else other than that cruel witch queen from the past. She never would have thought that he would talk about her. Could it be that…

Alicia decided that she would try to stay calm and just listen to his explanations first. She knew that any matters that were related to this witch queen would be of utmost importance. Thus, she must not jump to any sudden conclusions before having the whole picture!

"My father's mistress had actually grown so strong after she was turned into a vampire," Zeke continued in a calm voice, "It seemed that a silver-haired witch turned vampire would become a whole new powerful creature. She retained all her magic from when she was a witch, and with the additional strength and power of a blue-blooded vampire, she had literally become invincible. And at that time, Alex was at the other side of the world and had absolutely no clue on what was going on here in the kingdom. So, there was just no one strong enough to bring that woman down." Zeke's tone was neutral without any inflection of emotions in it, as though he was just narrating the story of a person that had nothing to do with him whatsoever.

Shock etched in Alicia's eyes. Her lips parted a little as she listened to him disclose this information to her. No one? This meant that even Ezekiel and his heaven defying powers could not defeat her?

"Even with my awakened demonic powers at that time, I couldn't defeat her," he continued as if he had heard her internal question. "So I had no choice but to turn full demon. My desire to defeat her and kill her and take back everything that she had taken away from me had eventually triggered my body to turn full demon. Only then did I managed to bring her down and I… I killed her right before my father's eyes."

Another pause. He tore his gaze from the window and turned them back to look at Alicia's ring again.

"That was how strong that woman had become as a silver-haired witch turned vampire… and now," he lifted his eyes and held her gaze, "so are you, Alicia. You're another invincible being now. Even I would have a hard time defeating you if we were to fight each other at full strength."

Alicia's mouth gaped open, her eyes blinking rapidly.

"W-what? That's… is that the reason why everyone is being respectful of me? Because they know I am strong?" she asked in a disbelieving tone. Was it as simple as that? She did not think that was all.

"That's one of the many reasons why. The vampires' instinct would have alerted them to the feel of someone's strength and power. But the main reason why everyone is treating you like you're some vampire deity is because you are basically one now." Zeke patiently explained it all to her.

When Alicia's brows knotted hard, Zeke reached out and ran a finger over her knotted brows before trailing it down to her jaws.

"You are also someone in a prophecy, Alicia."
