Blood Moon Love Song

Chapter 16: Dark Temptation

On the way to search for the holy relics, Evelyn and Alex stepped into a strange dark swamp. The place was filled with a foul smell, and the swamp gas was floating like a ghost. The ground underfoot was soft and dangerous, and one could fall into an endless quagmire if one was not careful. The sky was covered by thick dark clouds, and not a single ray of light could be seen. The surroundings were so quiet that it was creepy, and only the occasional roar of unknown creatures broke the dead silence.

Evelyn followed Alex closely, feeling uneasy. Suddenly, a breath of dark magic came quietly like a cold venomous snake, and her body trembled violently, and a trace of pain flashed in her purple eyes. This dark magic seemed to awaken the bloodthirsty desire hidden deep in her body, and that desire was like a surging tide, instantly drowning her reason.

“Alex… I…” Evelyn’s voice became hoarse and trembling, and her hands clenched unconsciously, her nails digging deep into her palms, trying to resist the strong urge.

Alex noticed that Evelin was different and turned around quickly, only to see that she was pale, her forehead was covered with sweat, and the struggle in her eyes was clearly visible. "Evelyn, what's wrong with you?" He asked with concern, and took a step forward to support her.

However, Evelyn stepped back subconsciously, fearing that she would hurt Alex. At this moment, her mind was full of b****y images, and her heartbeat accelerated sharply, as if a demon was whispering in her ear, urging her to find blood.

“Don’t come over… I can’t control myself…” Evelin shouted in pain and turned to escape.

How could Alex just watch her fall into danger? He ignored Evelyn's warning, rushed forward and hugged her. "Evelyn, look at me, you can definitely beat it!" He stared into Evelyn's eyes, trying to wake her up with his determination.

But Evelyn's mind was on the verge of collapse. She struggled in Alex's arms, waving her hands and accidentally scratching his arm. The bright red blood oozed out, and the b****y smell was like a deadly temptation, making Evelyn completely out of control. She lowered her head and approached the wound, her fangs gradually showing.

Alex didn't dodge, he knew Evelyn needed his help at this moment. He endured the pain, gently stroked Evelyn's hair with his other hand, and said softly: "I believe you, Evelyn, you won't hurt me..."

Evelyn's fangs were almost touching Alex's skin. At this critical moment, a glimmer of clarity flashed in her eyes, and she used all her strength to push Alex away. "Leave me..." She burst into tears and her body trembled with pain.

Alex approached again, ignoring the blood dripping from his wound, and held Evelyn's hand tightly. "No, I won't leave you. We will face it together." His voice was steady and firm, like a beacon in the darkness, bringing Evelyn a glimmer of hope.

With Alex's company and encouragement, Evelyn closed her eyes and tried her best to fight against the dark desires in her heart. She recalled every moment she spent with Alex, and those beautiful moments were like warm sunshine, dispelling the dark haze. Gradually, her breathing became steady, and the bloodthirsty impulse slowly faded.

When Evelyn opened her eyes again and saw Alex's injured arm, guilt and heartache surged in her heart. "I... I almost killed you..." She burst into tears.

Alex gently wiped away her tears and said with a smile: "But you didn't, you overcame it, and I'm proud of you." Regardless of his own pain, he hugged Evelyn in his arms, giving her comfort and strength.

After a short rest, the two continued their journey to find the holy relic. Although the road ahead was still full of unknowns and dangers, they held hands more tightly and their faith became stronger. No matter what difficulties and obstacles they encountered, they would never give up easily.
