Chapter 698 News

Abi was astounded as she watched his face. This was the first time she realized the pleasures of pleasing him and seeing him groan and writhe in carnal ecstasy. She definitely would be doing this again, she thought to herself.

"My god," he said raggedly as soon as he opened his eyes and grabbed Abi's face. His thumbs caressing her wet lips as his uneven breathing fanned across her face. His eyes still astonished and then, he smiled and bit down on his lips, looking at her in disbelief. "You really surprised me, my love… that was… so good." He added then he grabbed her, and he began to kiss her neck all the while undressing her quickly.

"I was planning to surprise you… but you ended up surprising me instead…" he uttered while kissing her. Then he suddenly stopped, while his hands were roaming on her now naked body. "Where did you learn how to do that… hmm? Could it be that you did some extensive research while I wasn't home?"

Abi blushed. "I read up a little on it." She replied and Alex chuckled.

"Because you wanted to please me…?"

She nodded and Alex's eyes gleamed, utterly please.

"Did I do good?" she asked shyly, and Alex gathered her in his arms and gently laid her back on the bed.

"For a first timer, it was more than good, love," he whispered as he loomed over her. Alex was still brimming with ecstasy at what his wife had done for him. He had not truly expected it and he was thrilled knowing that there were still many things for her to explore and learn especially the moment he recalled how innocent she was back then. His little lamb had grown so much, and he was loving every minute of it.

A wicked smile flashed on his handsome face as he looked down at her. "Now it's my turn, my wife." He said and that night, the couple spent a passionate and slow love making that the both of them enjoyed to their heart's content.

…

The next morning, Andrew and Abi's grandparents were surprised seeing that their son-in-law was already back. Abi immediately told them she had opened the door for him at midnight when he arrived.

After eating breakfast with the family, Alex and Abi bid their farewell once again to returned to their house.

To Abi's surprise, Alex brought her to the airport instead.

Blinking in surprise, Abi looked at him and raised her brow. "Where are we going? Dear husband?"

Alex glanced at her as he continued driving. He started to feel a little worried now. He had been thinking since last night how to break the news to her and he was still very anxious and unable to decide how to do it. His worry was truly getting to him and if possible, he did not want to make her worry at all. However, there was no way around it.

Clearing his throat, Alex tilted his head slightly. "We're going to the kingdom."

Last night, Alex had not told her anything as they both had cuddled together and slept after their passion filled lovemaking. But truth was that Abi had decided not to ask because she had felt that Alex was worrying about something. She somehow knew he was weighing whether he should speak or not. That was why she tried to wait patiently for him to speak.

"Why? D-did something happen?"

Alex nodded. "I'll tell you everything when we are in the plane, okay?"

"Okay." Abi answered patiently.

The couple then boarded a private plane after that. Alex was holding Abi's hand and looking up at her with a serious and worried expression.

He started to tell her everything. Knowing that Abi deserved to know everything and that he could not…no, he should not hide anything from his wife. He was worried, but he knew that there was no way out but tell her the whole truth.

Abi tried her best to not be overly emotional as she listened to the things Zeres had done. She truly felt bad for Zeres. She always wished that the man could finally find his happiness and yet, he went through all those cruel things again. She did not know how long he must further endure such hardships.

Alex hugged her, his warm hand caressing her back as if to soothe her.

"And then what happened? How's Alicia?" Abi asked and when Alex was silent for a long time, her heart began to ache as she looked at him with wide eyes.

"She's," Alex paused. "She's dead, Abi…"

Abi froze at what she heard. She had tried hard to stay composed while listening to Alex tell her the things that happened to Zeres because she knew her husband was very worried about her. But this news was just too much to take in and she could hardly believe what she was hearing.

During the entire trip, Abi had a hard time believing it at first. But eventually, she could no longer hold back her emotions no matter how she tried, and she ended up crying miserably in Alex's arms. This was a very close and beloved friend of hers!

Once they arrived and their plane landed in Country V, Lucas immediately fetched the couple from the airport and brought them to the Reigns Castle.

After resting for a while, Alex and Abi left their room and met their companions in the courtyard.

Everyone was already prepared and were waiting for them. Zeke, the young vampire, Kyle, and some other men were all there.

"Are you guys going to travel by car too?" Alex asked Zeke and the man nodded.

"Yes."

"I see…" Alex glanced at his wife and once they were inside the car, Alex made her lean on him. "You must take your rest now, Abi. Since the ceremony is only at midnight. It is still quite a long while to go." Alex whispered and Abi obediently closed her eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, the car had finally halted, and the surroundings were already dark.

"We're here now, Abi." Alex informed a slightly sleepy Abi. When she lifted her face, the entrance of the Black Forest welcomed her eyes as the last vestiges of sleepiness left her.
