After smashing the last witch on the floor, Alex straightened up and looked back at Abi. The moment he saw her looking up and holding her breath, he cursed and the next second, he picked the witch on the floor and used her as his wrecking ball to hit the witch on the rooftop, holding Abi's gaze.

The witch was hit by her comrade's body and she dissapeared. Alex had been holding back, trying not to destroy the entire house into pieces but at that moment, he didn't hold back at all. How dare this witch try to manipulate his woman!

Alex immediately moved towards Abi. It seemed that she was still in a trance.

”Breath, Abigail,” he told her as he touched her face.

When the girl didn't respond, Alex's eyes narrowed. That witch must have been quite powerful since she actually managed to do this to Abi within just a short period of time.

”Fine, I'm going to kiss you to wake you up. This doesn't count,” he added and the next second, his lips were on hers. He pried her luscious lips open and delved inside. When Abi was still unresponsive, Alex pulled her into his arms and he sucked her tongue hard.

Abi snapped and she pulled away coughing and gasping for air.

What the hell was that? What happened to her?

”Tch! Now I'm starting to worry about you, little lamb. Zeke actually took a clueless one like you to join the hunt. It is a common knowledge in this country never to stare into a witch's eyes, Abigail. Yet look what you did,” he said as he held her. ”Are you alright?”

Abi's breathing slowly stabilised and she looked at him.

”A-are they gone? Are you alright?” she asked him and Alex's lips curved up. He couldn't help but feel good seeing that the first thing she was concerned about was him.

”Didn't you see how magnificent I was?” his voice was again filled with mischief. Couldn't he be serious during situations like this? ”Tch. We need to find another hotel to spend the night in,” he added as he looked around.

The pretty hotel room was ruined. ”Alex… what if they follow us again?” she asked, worried. She didn't understand what was going on. They were supposed to be the hunters but here they were, being ambushed. And this Zeke had disappeared into thin air.

”Nope. They won't.”

”How can you be so sure?”

”Those little stinky rats simply came to pay us a visit. They knew they couldn't win against me. In short, they came for a different reason. Perhaps to confirm something?” he explained and Abi's brows could only knot again.

The event that happened was still like a jumbled nightmare. She couldn't believe she actually saw real witches and they didn't look pleasant at all, like how some of the books she read portrayed them.

”Confirm something? That you are here?”

”P-please be serious. Why would they be curious about me? You're the one they want! And where is Zeke, anyway? Why has he not showed up yet? It's been hours!”

Alex pulled away and tilted his head as he looked past the broken window.

”Hmm… don't worry about that guy. He must have left us here alone.”

Abi's eyes widened. What the hell! Was he serious? And why was he saying that in such a carefree manner?

”H-huh? Please don't be ridiculous. This was his plan. There must be another reason why he isn't back yet! Wait. Could it be that the witches caught him?!” Abi exclaimed. She couldn't accept what Alex said, that Zeke brought them here and left them alone, as if they were some contestants of a survival game he just dropped on a poisonous island and left to survive by themselves. Even though Zeke was such an unfathomable guy, she was sure he wouldn't do something like this! Something must have happened to him and that was why he wasn't there.
