Chapter 139 Unexpected Visit

• Edward sat on his favorite chair in his palace with his eyes closed. A blue light of fire enveloped him like a shield and his eyes were closed. Veins popped out on his face and his hands that were tightly clenching onto the chair arms. He seemed to be unconscious but he was showing out expression of being in pain. After a long time, he gasped and snapped his eyes open and the fire light vanished immediately.
• He panted, his eyes a blue fire for a while before slowly dimming down to midnight blue. He closed his eyes once more with a shallow pant and placed his head on the headrest. After some minutes, he sat up on the chair and opened his eyes and then he tried summoning his nightwalker’s powers. His eyes flickered between red and blue continuously until blood sipped from his nose and he grunted in pain and shut his eyes, his clenched fist giving away and he fell weakly from his chair onto the floor. “I need more energy,” he whispered in pants.
• His tired eyes glanced around him, “energy, I need more, a lot more,” he sniffled and sat up from the floor. Sitting on the foot of his chair, he wiped away the blood and placed his hand on his nose, healing himself instantly. He touched his neck, right where Aliyah’s mark was and closed his eyes. He couldn’t understand, he had left her room early yesterday’s morning before she could wake up and up until now, he hasn’t felt her need him. Is she angry with him for leaving?
