ELLA POV
Xane stayed for a while in my arms . I understood it hurt him . It hurt me too . But i'm no desperate lunatic to get on my knees for his attention. As much as Emma wanted me to stay close to our mate , i had to hold back .
"Can i stay the night . I promise i won't try anything funny . " Xane asked ....or should i say Santino.
" I don't think thats a good id..." he cut me out before i could finish .
" You're right . Goodnight ." he snapped and walked out . Whats his deal?.
He slammed the door behind him as he left . Way to act bizzare . Sheesh.
But i got a bad feeling about something. And so many thoughts surroundes my head .
' Your useless '
' Your mate won't want a used mate '
' You will be an abomination.'
Want to know the twist . Those weren't my thoughts . They were Santino's. And all of a sudden Emma took over .
" Emma what are you doing . Give me back control . "
" Shut up and stay there kid . I am in no place to lash back at you. " she replied . Oh boy , she was upset , thats not good.
She lead us towards Santinos room where i saw 2 guards on two ends of his door . Why does he need guards . Hes a freaking Rock for goodness sake .
When i moved towards the door , one guard blocked me , stretching his hand out .
" I'm sorry Luna . You cannot go in when he is not in the right state of his mind ." He said , making me furrow my eyebrows .
" Ella !" I heard someone call out feom the hallway or should i say tyler call out from the hallway.
"Its Emma."
" Go to your room Emma. " and when he finished i heard things smash in my mates room . What the hell is he doing in there?
" What happened to him .?" i looked at the door and asked tyler. He did not reply but expressed everything he had to say through his eyes . They never fail to reveal.
" I'm sorry i can't tell you ." he said and put his head down .
I simply shrugged " figured . I want you to refrain from blocking my way or i will have to take you down." Emma threatened , making all of them freeze in their respective places , including Tyler.
I walked towards the door and took deep breaths before getting in and then reached out to open the door .
It was dark . Too dark for my own liking . How can someone not get choked by this darkness . I kept walking and Emma was on guard so i didn't have anything to worry about .
I heard someone walking , coming from behind me so i turned . And the sight nearly broke me . I had to contain myself.
I front of me stood Santino . His shirt ripped , his tempting figure covered in marks that described various ways of torture . His face looking viscious like he would bite off anyones neck at this moment.
He kept walking towards me , and for the first time , i kept taking steps back and then i stopped because for some odd reason ..... i wanted to trust him no matter how out of control he was.
Emma spoke up maintaining her calmness through frustration." Xane".
Nothing.
He kept taking slow strides towards me and eventually halted towering me . He is a freaking christmas tree.
He just kept looking at me .
' Emma' i called out to her .
' I know , i am giving you back control . Get your man kid ' she said for me to smirk.
I saw him watch my eyes turn from baby blue to brown.
He's watching . I wiggled my eyebrows with a smirk . Dear goodness , I'm so weird .
" Hi "
Nothing.
" Rude much ? Are you trying to seduce me , being shirtless . If yoh are you're doing a pretty good job you know ?"
Still nothing
" I am so so so bad at this . " i whispered more to myself . And gulped so loud to embarress myself enough.
"Listen . If you are waiting for me to leave , in your dreams pretty boy . I am staying here till you're fine , i mean you can talk to me i assure you i am expert in keeping secrets , i can listen you out and ..." before i could finish he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me towards him , holding me tight , moving his head towards my neck and inhaling my scent .
This time , i didnt hold back , i couldnt . My arms went around his nack and caressed his skin making him groan and could feel his hold getting tighter if thats possible.
We were standing like that for what felt like hours .
