SPELLBOUND

Chapter 283 - Recounting

Their deep, raw and spine tingling kiss continued on. While they kissed, their tongues danced in a perfect sensual rhythm as their hands caressed each other, initially running over each other's clothes but as the temperature heated up between them their hands crept beneath the clothes for a more intimate touch. The way he sucked and licked the insides of her mouth and made her moan, gave him that feeling as if they had shared such wild kisses many times before and his body knows without a doubt on what exactly she wants from him. How could this be? How was this even happening?

When their lips parted after that long and passion filled kiss, Evie gave such a satisfied smile as their heavy breaths mingled with each other's. "See? Your body remembers what your mind can't, Gav." She whispered, glad that he did not burst out in another fit of temper and that his body could still respond to her in the same way as before.

Gavrael was frozen still. He just sat there staring back at her. 'Your body remembers what your mind can't'. Those words kept replaying in his head as he calmed down from the high caused by their intense make out session earlier. He could not believe that those words made perfect sense as he felt it in his bones that this was definitely not the first time that they had kissed like this at all!

"Do you believe me now? Can you now see that you were the one who taught me… all that?" she asked again, smiling tenderly at him as she reached out to caress his face gently. "The man I married is you, Gav…" she added and when he could not say a single word, Evie began to tell him everything. All that Claudius had told her, she recounted every single detail, not leaving even a single point out.

She told him that he had turned back time and that he had regressed into a boy and grew up as the vampire prince, Gavriel, the man that she married. She told him how they met up until that night when they got separated in Dacria.

"I believed something must have happened to you, to Gavriel, that night when you were fighting against Thundrann. I believed that it was that same night you awakened as Gavrael." Evie said as she concluded her recounting.

Gavrael closed his eyes and struggled to process what he had just heard. His anger was still crawling inside him, all prepared to burst forth at any time. But with her, still straddling his lap as he sat on the bed, and the closeness and warmth of her hands, he felt the darkness within him withdrew slightly and becoming still. At least for now.

"You're saying that I turned back time and instead of just a few days, I returned to many years ago, when I was a little boy and grew up as Gavriel?" he asked in disbelief. It was apparent on his expression that he was unable to believe it.

"Yes."

"Then how do you explain why my memories as Gavrael still exists? If I turned back time, then everything should have been erased as time started all over again. If I turned back time and returned to when I was a little boy, that means I would have never met you in that forest as Gavrael because Gavrael does not exist then. How would you explain –" He had listed the same clash of facts as Evie did when she heard this for the first time from Claudius.

"Claudius said that is your punishment for turning back time, Gav." Evie could only answer him gently.

Gavrael's eyes circled. C-claudius?! She knew about Claudius? Gavrael had never told Evie about Claudius. He had only told her about his parents so how come…

"Claudius appeared to me and told me everything Gav. He said that the reason why you still remember and retained those memories that should've been erased is because you are being punished for using that forbidden spell." She told him and Gavrael tugged at his hair.

He still could not believe this confusing twist of events but when she mentioned Claudius, he could no longer brush this off and laugh at everything that Evie had told him. The fact that she could bring him up was enough to prove that this was all the truth and not something that she was trying to cook up.

Then suddenly, he remembered the image he saw in his nightmare.

"Tell me," he looked at her. "Did Claudius tell you why I turned back time?" he asked.

"He said he just knew that something probably happened to me and that you wanted to save me. That's why you did that."

Gavrael became utterly immobile. And the next second, he laughed.

Now it somehow made sense. If that event happened, that Evie had indeed died like what he saw in his dream, he knew he had definitely turned back time to save her. Now that he thought about it, him, turning back time made a lot of sense. This would explain why that prince Gavriel, looked exactly like him. This explains why Evie had forgotten about him. This would explain why he had found himself in that dungeon of the ruined city of Dacria without any recollection on how he even arrived there. This would explain all the nonsensical sufferings he had to go through for so long. This would explain the long years he had spent looking for Evie in such a strange place and not being able to find her at all. This was the reason why!

'So, it turned out that while my original body returned to my boyhood stage, I was stuck somewhere as my punishment. And while my body was growing up and making his own memories, I was stuck somewhere, probably in spirit, in an unknown place, all alone and suffering endlessly.' Gavrael could not help but laugh ironically, shaking his head as he thought all that to himself.
