SPELLBOUND

orial about his woman.
At least until he could understand more about the situation at hand.

The queen was also right there already, grabbing at Gideon ’s hand that was stretched out, wrapping her fingers tightly around his wrist.
She too was trying to keep him from doing something that he might regret later on.

Azrael on the other hand had grabbed onto Kione and pulled him away in the short moment that Prince Gideon had been restrained by his brother and mother.
This friend of his was truly looking to get himself killed! He had acted quickly as the situation had allowed and the two lords were already a few steps away behind Vera when everything had stilled from the flurry of activity earlier. 

And Vera… she had just stood there, staring at the hand that was right before her face.
At the fingers… the sharp and elongated blackened nails that were less than an inch away from her eyeballs.
She was nearly pierced by those menacing nails.

The shield that Evie had casted at the very last moment was turning golden as Gideon ’s sharp nail touched it.
That golden hue was not only shimmering around herself but also been casted around Vera to protect her as well.
Thankfully, Evie ’s responses were fast, and her senses were sharp as she had suspected Vera might be in danger as she was the only human here amongst them.

No one seemed to be able to even take a breath at that extreme moment.
Until Vera spoke again.
”Gideon… ” she called out softly, she did not take a step back nor flinch the least.
Evie was even quite certain that she had moved forward to block Kione.
Did she even realize that Gideon was going to attack? 

When Evie saw that Vera was lifting her hand, she dissolved the shimmery golden barrier between them.
She knew it was a risky move, but she understood what Vera was trying to do.
And if all else fails, Gav and Queen Beatrice were right there.
She trusted their reflexes to intervene again if something does go wrong. 

Vera slowly lifted her hand to Gideon ’s.
Her eyes were fixed on Gideon ’s blackened orbs and without fear she gently touched his fingers.
Those fingers that looked as though they belonged to a demon.
And she tenderly entwined her fingers with his, slowly bringing her digits to meet his, until their palms were finally flushed against each other ’s. 

That instant, the darkness in Gideon suddenly disappeared, his eyes turned back to their fiery blue orbs and slowly, his eyes widened as he looked down at Vera from his towering height.
His nails were returning to normal now. 

Everyone finally took the breaths they were holding in as Gideon stepped back, pulling his hand from Vera ’s as he stumbled backward.
Gav and his mother had long since let go of their hold on him.
His eyes were still glued on Vera, but he looked like he realized what he had just did and he could hardly believe it.
There was nothing but shock shining from his eyes now. 

Then all of a sudden, Gavriel grabbed at him again.
But this time, it was as though Gav made a move to catch him, so Gideon would not fall to the ground..
And everyone could only look on, speechless, as Gideon held onto Gav, even lowering his head onto Gavriel ’s shoulder as if to hide his face.
