Chapter 386 - Honour Bound



Chapter 386 - Honour Bound

After hearing from Kariza that Leon was leaving soon to go to the Middle Empire in the hopes of searching for that elusive blue pearl, Zanya went looking for Leon. However, she did not know where he was hiding. Thus, she had gotten Zolan to help her out on this matter.

Zolan quickly led her to Leon\'s room and left her just outside of his door.

Heaving a deep sigh, Zanya lifted her hand to give a single small knock on his door. She could sympathise with what he was going through right now and she could not help but feel really guilty about it. She had tried to stop him, but she was to be blamed for this mess up too. She was not that shameless to completely throw off all responsibility from her own shoulders.

He had already taken the necessary precaution and locked himself in that hall to avoid trouble. But she still went over to look for him. And even after he had told her to leave, she did not listen to him and had taken his warnings lightly. And now that this had already happened, and he was in a dire situation, she could not bring herself to just sit back and ignore his plight.

When she heard that he was going to go and search for the shell, Zanya felt even guiltier. She was actually waiting for him to come to her to discuss and perhaps work things out. But it seems that he was going to play the gentleman card and was determined not to involve her. However, it was not that she would know what they could do if he did end up coming to her. But… Zanya found herself in a great dilemma.

She knew about that shell Leon was attempting to look for, and she could not help but think what would happen to him if he could not find it. There really was a high chance of it happening as this shell with the blue pearl has not been seen for thousands of years. Thus, she found herself worrying and feeling more terrible than she had expected to feel. After pacing around in her own room, having her stomach tied up in knots, Zanya finally made up her mind.

That was why she came rushing over. She was nervous because she knew what might happen the moment she enters through this door. She knew that he might go crazy at the sight and smell of her. And that was why he had been refusing to even look at her shadow. She fully understood why he was doing what he did. And she truly appreciated his thoughtfulness to her.

But, as a light fae that holds to her own principles, she could not just turn her back on him. More so when this matter was… partly her fault too. If something bad happens to him…

Zanya shook her head, willing the negative thoughts to go away. Straightening her spine, she was about to knock on the door again when she noticed the door was slightly opened. When was it opened? She pushed at the door slowly and entered cautiously.

As the door swung open and she stood at the threshold, she saw him standing there, as still as a statue. He was holding onto some clothes as he packed the things he would be needing for his trip.

She knew he had noticed her, and he already knew it was her, hence that stiff reaction from him.

Quietly, Zanya waited for him to turn around and look at her. But the man did not even move. She could feel something intense and heavy igniting in the air between them as both their breathing grew laboured.

"Leave." His deep voice finally boomed out, breaking the silence. And it made her smiled a little, remembering that was how he sounded back in that hall when he had similarly told her to leave that fateful day.

Her smile was wry as she bit on one corner of her lips. Under normal circumstances, she would thankfully run off and leave when told to like this. But why could she not just ignore this vampire\'s orders? What was that heaviness in her stomach and tightening of her chest? Why was it that she was always reluctant to leave him?

She quickly denied the path her mind was wandering down and repeatedly told herself that it was all because of her guilt this time. She was honour bound and obliged to help him get safely out of this predicament.

"You don\'t need to go." She said and she bravely closed the door behind her, hands slightly shaking as she released the door handle as it clicked shut.

He finally turned to look at her and Zanya caught her breath at the sight of his eyes. His purple eyes were so vivid and the ferocity in them was something she had never seen before.

Gnashing his teeth, he struggled to keep himself in check and rooted to the spot. He looked like a savage predator who was on the verge of jumping on her and devouring her whole.

"I said, leave. Now!" he growled, clenching his fists so tight his knuckles even cracked. She could also tell he was not capable of looking away from her anymore no matter how much he tried to force himself to.

She could literally see the intense desire and lust and madness all mixing chaotically in his eyes. The intensity made her feel nervous that she considered going back. But she had already decided to step up and not chicken out. She was not going to let this man suffer because of her own mistake. She could not allow him to go to the Middle Empire all alone in search for something that might no longer exist anymore.

"I am here to complete the mating," she bravely spoke the words and Leon\'s purple eyes widened so much in shock that it almost fell out of its sockets. "This is my fault too. I didn\'t listen to you when you begged me to leave… I…" she swallowed in nervousness, but her eyes remained firm. "I can\'t promise that I will be able to accept your heart or fall in love with you even after time passes… All I can do for you is…" her stiff fingers fumbled on the clasp of her cloak and finally managed to remove it after a few tries. The silken white cloak fell in a heap on the floor. "… this. I\'m ready to mate with you." Zanya then raised her eyes to lock her gaze with that intense purple blaze of Leon\'s.
