Capítulo 596: Chapter 99 : My Mate is There

*Xander*

I spent the short day watching the wall of mist along the horizon, wondering what the hell was on the other side and why Zeke hadn’t gone with Ianthe.

Zeke finally crawled out of whatever hole he’d be hiding in around dusk, his face shielded from the lingering daylight by the hood of his cloak. He looked sunken, and his eyes were burning with frustration.

I flinched a bit as his eyes met mine, glowing like raw gold in the fading sunset. His expression went beyond the hurt of sending his sister away. He looked hungry.

“You can’t eat me,” I said quickly, rising to my feet. “My blood is like poison, apparently–”

“I don’t feed on people,” he sneered, rolling his eyes as he turned his gaze to the water. He sniffed indignantly, watching the surf. In a flash of black fabric and a spray of water, he disappeared below the surface.
