Chapter 25; Alexia is Jelly

Zeke stared at Alexia’s peaceful sleeping face, he had cleaned up and changed before coming into her room as he reeked of blood, his hand moved to caress her face and he tucked a strand of her red fiery hair behind her ear.

Alexia—she was as fiery and willfull as her hair, he smiled remembering the first day he met her. His eyes trailed from her face to her neck and when he saw the marks on her neck, his once calm demeanor cracked, he didn't want anyone hurting her at all and he'll surely protect her.

He watched her stir in her sleep and slowly her eyes opened, meeting his.

Alexia stared at Zeke in shock, wondering when he got here, then her eyes moved to the window and seeing it was evening she sprang up from the bed, wincing slightly.

“Careful” Zeke said “You know you're hurt, why get up with such force?”

“It's almost time Zeke, why didn't you wake me up” Alexia whined, ignoring his question as she pulled him up.
