SANTINO'S POV
I got closer to Ella's bed to get a better view . Sage slept on the on side cuddling to Ella and Steven's head was on Ella's chest . Ella wrapped both her arms around them ,like that was the only home she had . Like she was the mother , like she was a sister , like she was a friend . I couldn't find more words . It makes me and my wolf agitated that i can't hold her.
" She's beautiful " my wolf spoke up, as both of us were looking at the three of them .
" Indeed ." She is to be honest very beautiful . I haven't seen a beauty like hers . Her plump lips , her smooth hair , her eyes , her toned body that i try my best to resist , her confidence thats so hot . The way she fights that makes her even more irresistable . In every way i definitely am attracted to her though i woudnt say that out loud. She's mine . Even if i still can't trust her , even is she hates me .
" Creep." i heard a feminine voice . And i saw Ella looking at me while i zoned out .
" What did you call me ?" i spat at her .
" Oh come on you do not want the reat of this gigantic mansion to know that their king is a creep who loves to stare at people while they are asleep , now do you?" she smirked . Oh i definitely forgot to mention that she can be annoying . I looked away .
" What brings you here , your highness.?" she mocked which made me glare at her .
" I do what i want . " i said harshly.
" Whatever you say , your highness." she mocked again . Goddess , she's so infuriating.
I turned and was about to walk when she spoke . " Hey ," Just that 'hey' got me stuck to the floor . I did not turn . I Just stood there .
" I know you don't trust me , nor do you like me ." oh how wrong you are about the last part mate . " But , um ... sleep beside me today . "
Did i hear her right ?
" I know you need it from the way you looked at the three of us. " How did she ?
" I mean .... not that you have to but .... ugh ... forget i asked ."
I slowly walked up to the left side of her bed and sank myself onto the mattress . I heard her gulp. Was she nervous ? I thought and smirked. Was she affected by me ?
"Steve came crying to me and i couldnt just tell him to go away . Sage followed . I'm so.."
" Thank you ." I don't know why i said that but somehow i did .
I laid straight first but then My hands itched to touch her . I wanted to grab her and kiss her . I wanted to hug her . I wanted to .... ugh . Once won't hurt . Right? . No i won't do that . I should'nt be .
" Screw yourself then , i need mate you prick ." before i could retort he pushed me back and surfaced .
" Emma " he called out to her wolf . And just like me Ella lost to her wolf .
" Hello mate " she replied and i could hear my wolf purring. What a girl.
" Um...can i hold you ?" he asked her .
" Why ask when you're going to , anyway ." she smiled and goddess that smile can melt the rest of my rock of a heart , if i get that pretty often .
He shifted closer to her and swayed an arm around her waist and both of us felt the sparks . I'm sure she did too , by the way she shivered under my touch . My head was close to her neck . This is probably the closest i could get .
But that night i slept .
Without nightmares.
Without turning into a monster in the middle of the night .
Because of my beautiful mate .
