494 Reunion*

Alicia's heartbeat hastened. Her body subconsciously froze at the sight of Zeres' golden eyes. She could sense a foreign and powerful aura oozing from him. He wasn't just a witch anymore. 

But somehow, Alicia was glad because she didn't feel that intense fear she always felt around Alexander when his eyes turned this golden. Or maybe, was she less scared around Zeres because she was queen now? Or was it because Zeres was a witch?

Making no movement, Alicia watched him as he focused his gaze forward. She could tell that something had triggered him. Did he already sense Alexander, or was it Abi that triggered something in him, so his eyes turned golden?

Zeres moved, but Alicia was quick to block him. "Wait, Zeres!" she placed her hands on his chest to stop his advance. The man looked at her, his eyes still alert and the golden hue in his eyes was dancing in chaos.
