SPELLBOUND Chapter 384 - Don't Be Too Pessimistic

Chapter 384 - Don't Be Too Pessimistic

Zolan went around looking for Leon and found him hiding out in the castle's library.
The man was sitting on the floor, his back against a shelf and his arms were stretched out with his wrists resting on his knees. He looked like a devastated mess with his head hanging down.
Sighing, Zolan lowered himself to the ground and sat next to him, leaning his head back against the same shelf.
"You look like something that the cat dragged in." Zolan joked and smiled wryly at Leon. "I have never thought I would one day find the oh-so-well-behaved Leon looking like this." He commented, turning his head to look over at the morose looking man.
"I'm fine." Leon replied without making a single move, his voice was flat and devoid of emotion. He did not even spare Zolan a glance.
"Well, you clearly don't look fine at all. You look like shit, in fact." Zolan very generously described Leon's state in no uncertain terms.
Leon did not respond at all this time, so Zolan continued talking as though he had gotten some signal from Leon to continue.
"I heard about the consequence for your current situation. I think you should speak with Zanya about this." Zolan had asked some light faes about this and they told him what they knew about it. They had not suspected anything from Zolan's questioning and had very willingly and happily explained about the matter in as much detail as they could.
Gritting his teeth, Leon moved his hand and he tugged at his hair. "She does not even like me. Not one bit." He muttered as he further hunched his shoulders, his expression downcast.
Zolan sighed again. "Did you already ask her? Or is this just you assuming things?"
"She told me she hated me before." His voice cracked a little.
"Hmm… that might be some misunderstanding you know? Some women do that. They go around telling someone that they hate him, but in actual fact, they do not. And even if she indeed does not like you, you still need to do something about this and talk to her. She might agree to mate with you. They had said you'll feel better after mating with her. Her falling in love with you can afford the wait but the mating can't. If you don't deal with it any time soon, you'll be ruining yourself." Zolan's brows creased a little in worry for his comrade.
"I was the one who forced her. She did her best to stop me, but I didn't listen." He reasoned out tonelessly. "This punishment… this is all my fault. So, it won't be fair for her if I make her do something she does not want to do, just to save myself. She did nothing wrong to deserve this."
"I know. But what happened between the two of you was inevitable. You were thirsty, Leon. Or perhaps I would even say you were starved. If I am the one in your situation, I might have done worse. You had no choice, and it was impossible for you to resist at that moment since she had appeared before you then. It was an unfortunate case of you both being at the wrong place at the wrong time. You don't deserve to make yourself suffer like this as well. You need to face this head on, Leon. First, go and speak with her. Avoiding her will only make things worse. And believe me, Zanya might be willing to help you out. Don't be too pessimistic."
Leon did not say anything anymore, so Zolan left him after Elias brought over some food for him to eat.
According to the light faes Zolan had spoken with, the urge to mate that Leon would be feeling could probably one of the worst kinds of suffering a man could ever go through. In fact, in the past, the light faes had recounted that quite a number of daredevil vampires lost their lives because of this. Some of them were forced to do awful and stupid things like ending up raping the light faes that refused to mate with them. Of course, that action just caused them to lose their lives. Most of them ended up dying in the hands of the light faes in their attempt to force themselves on them. Or they had the other light faes hunting them to their deaths.
It was such a complicated matter because there seemed to be no other alternative to remove the consequence of this action.
That night, the elite men and Gavriel, including the officials that had returned to the city had just finished with their meeting when Gavriel asked his men about Leon.
"What's going on with Leon?" He had noticed something was wrong with the latest addition to his elite men.
By then, it was only them who were left in the throne hall as the prince had already dismissed everyone else. Therefore, it was a good a time as any to speak of this matter.
Zolan could only explain everything, shocking everyone into silence. He decided to disclose all of this not only to inform them but also as a warning to his comrades as well about this matter, especially Levy.
Of course, Levy was the one who suffered the most intense shock in hearing of this news. He had been doing his best to hit on the beauties a while ago in the hopes that he could seduce one of them to willingly offer her blood to him.
And now that he is hearing this, he only felt goosebumps running across his skin. He did not know there were such dire consequence that existed, and it was a rather terrible one.
"I told Leon to speak with her and try to solve this amicably. But Leon thinks he can't involve Zanya… or more like he doesn't want to involve her. In his opinion, that would not be fair on her. You know Leon and his mentality." Zolan sighed. "He'd rather suffer than force anyone or beg anyone to get things done." Zolan shrugged helplessly as he reported to his prince.
They all knew what Zolan said was true. If only Leon was as shameless as Levy. If only…
