Outcast: The Alpha King’s Beloved by Blue Tears
CHAPTER 32 passION IN THE DUNGEON
Anthony’s POV:
Jennifer’s training during this period of time led to remarkable results. Before, she had been barely able to keep up with me. Now that we were in disguise, we both looked like any other vampire. Of course, if the vampires decided to inspect us closely, they would find out we were not their fellows.
We moved swiftly in the darkness and made our way to the dungeon. Jennifer never fell behind. Even though we encountered several patrolling vampires along the way, they didn’t discover our true ident*ities. Jennifer’s adaptability really surprised me.
Finally, we found the location of the dungeon. Boris and Judy sat on the floor in one of the cells. He comforted her as she was crying.
Our sudden appearance frightened them.
“What are you going to do to us, you wicked vampires?” Judy demanded in horror as she shrank back with her arms crossed.
I gestured for them to be quiet.
“We are here to save you,” Jennifer said in a low voice as she walked to the iron door.
“Try to open this door, Jennifer,” I whispered as I turned to watch the exit of the dungeon.
We exterminated the vampires who had been standing guard. But if we delayed for too long and other vampires came to check, we would have difficulty leaving this place.
“That shouldn’t be a problem for me.” Jennifer magically produced a set of keys. “Before entering the dungeon, I knocked out one of the guards and found these attached to his uniform. I don’t know if one of these keys will open this door, though. We have to try.”
“You never fail to surprise me.” I nodded in approval and admiration.
Blinking at me, Jennifer crouched down in front of the iron door and tried unlocking it with all of the keys she had. Meanwhile, I kept an eye out for any vampires so that, if anything went wrong, we would be able to make a quick retreat.
After a short while, the iron door opened with a click.
“It worked!” Jennifer snapped her fingers in delight.
“Thank you for saving us. Truly, thank you so much.” Tears streamed down Boris’ and Judy’s cheeks.
“Mr. Jones, it’s you!” Boris quickly bowed upon recognizing me. “Thank you for coming to rescue us personally, Mr. Jones.”
“Let’s not waste any more time. We should leave now.” I gestured for him to stop being so formal with me and to stand.
Jennifer reached out to help Boris up. But before she could guide the couple out of the cell, Boris trembled and his eyes became dull.
He took out a pistol from his belt, and I yelled, “Jennifer, look out!”
However, Boris was standing close to Jennifer. I wanted to stop him, but it was too late. For some reason, Boris betrayed me. He pointed his gun at Jennifer’s head.
Neither Jennifer nor I expected this to happen. Jennifer wisely stood still. With a pistol pointed at the back of her head, she knew better than to act rashly.
In the next second, a few well-dressed vampires entered the dungeon with their followers. They laughed hysterically.
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Jones. I’m Sherman, the elder of the Wilson Clan.” The vampire who came in first introduced himself as he looked at me.
“Surprised how we knew that you were coming? Actually, Alpha Boris and Luna Judy have been under our control all this time. You fell into our trap, Mr. Jones. If you want this girl to live, you will come with us.”
I was furious. Now I understood. The vampires had been aware of our presence all along because their target wasn’t Boris. It was me. They used Boris so that they could get a hold of Jennifer and, in turn, make me yield. If I went with them, I couldn’t imagine what they would do.
But if I didn’t go with them, what would happen to Jennifer?
“Mr. Jones, you’d better think twice. If you don’t listen to us, Boris will simply pull the trigger. And you will have no choice but to watch her die before your very eyes.”
“No!” I shook my head and my hands curled into fists. “Don’t hurt her!”
As I looked at Jennifer, my heart sank. I couldn’t leave her alone because I loved her from the bottom of my heart. I couldn’t allow her to get hurt. I was determined to protect her, even if it meant risking my life.
“Mr. Jones, you should go.” Although Jennifer was being held hostage, there was no fear in her eyes. “You should leave. Please don’t go with them.”
Her gaze looked pleadingly at me. But how could I leave her behind?
“I’ll go with you. Just let her go. If you dare to hurt her in the slightest, all the vampires of the Wilson Clan will die with her!” I yelled at Sherman.
“Come, Mr. Jones.” Sherman signaled for me to follow him. I couldn’t help but glance at Jennifer. Her gaze was filled with despair.
I nodded at her, hoping to put her at ease. Tears threatened to fall from Jennifer’s eyes. Sherman led me to a cell, and then he locked me and Jennifer inside.
Jennifer’s POV:
Anthony shocked me once again. At the moment, I hated myself for being powerless and a burden to the prince. But at the same time, I was also deeply touched that he was willing to put himself in danger for my sake.
The evil vampires locked us up in the same cell. Such a noble prince was willing to become a prisoner for my sake.
“Mr. Jones, why did you stay?” I demanded after the vampires left us. “You should have gone ahead without any hesitation. I’m the reason why we got caught. They’re not going to let you go so easily.”
“I couldn’t leave you behind. I refuse to.” Anthony looked me in the eye. “Either we leave together, or we stay together.”
“But I’m not worth it,” I sobbed. I had mixed feelings about this situation we were in. I threw myself into his arms and hugged him tightly.
I buried my head in his chest and allowed my tears to fall. “Mr. Jones, please promise me that you will be okay.”
Anthony seemed stunned for a moment, but he eventually hugged me back.
“For your sake and my own, I promise. I’ll be fine. Don’t cry, Jennifer. You’re stronger than this.”
Even though his words were clearly meant to comfort me, they just made me sadder.
After everything we had been through together, I could no longer ignore this man before me. I wanted to spend the rest of our days together—through the good and the bad. I was even willing to give up my life for him.
“It’s my first time seeing you cry like this.” Anthony cupped my face in his hands and gently wiped away my tears.
His gaze told me that he felt sorry for me, so I hugged him once more. I never wanted to let him go.
Suddenly, he bent over and kissed me. His soft lips moved across my face, kissing away every drop of tear from my cheeks. His action was so gentle that my heart trembled and my body gradually softened against his.
My tears dried up. After a moment’s hesitation, he kissed me on the lips. I froze but didn’t push him away. Instead, I kissed him back.
I allowed his tongue to enter my mouth. At the same time, I nibbled on his lips and gasped for breath, unable to control my m*oa*ns.
Anthony’s eyes blazed with desire. I was getting weak in the knees from his kiss, so I pressed my hands against his chest for support.
Without taking his mouth off of mine, he held my hand in his and gently guided it down to his trousers. I found myself cupping his hard c*oc*k. I was startled and instinctively wanted to pull away, but he encouraged me to touch his member.
After gathering my courage, I wrapped my fingers around his c*oc*k and tentatively stroked it.
Anthony didn’t let go of me. He slipped his hand into my underwear while the other rubbed my b*reas*ts and played with my sensitive nipples.
I m*oa*ned once more. “Mr. Jones…” I looked up at him in confusion. My head felt light as if I was floating in the clouds.
“Do you feel comfortable?” The prince seductively nipped my lower lip. I nodded shyly.
In the cold and dark cell, we passionately kissed and embraced each other. Even if our current surroundings were chilly, Anthony’s embrace kept me warm.
