"Why?... but he's my brother-i_". Elen could not complete her sentence because Alexander's hands were now gripping her neck, ever so tightly.
"Listen to me now. Don't ever go close to that man! I don't want you anywhere near him. Understand?!"
"A-a-a-alexander, you're hurting me. P-p-please you're hurting me." She stuttered as a single tear drop fell from her eyes, but his grip on her neck did not loosen a bit, he had lost his consciousness and all he wanted to do was to kill. His anger had taken full control over him! He wouldn't stop unless he kills.
"A-a-a-alex...please." She said softly. She was already choking and all she could utter was his name.
Surprisingly, he stopped when she uttered his name. That was the first time he had ever stopped from killing someone. Whenever he was angry, he would either kill or destroy everything on his path. No one had ever managed to stop him. But this woman. His wife, reached his consciousness and stopped him just by uttering his name.
His grip on her neck loosened and she fell on the floor like a jelly, she caught her breath for an immeasurable amount of time until her breathing became steady. Elen didn't look terrified at all, instead she looked puzzled. The look on her face made Alexander confused, how could she not still get scared after what he did to her. Though, it wasn't intentional, he couldn't still help but feel guilty that he almost killed his wife. What if he actually strangled her to death?!! He would never let that happen!! And that is why he'll stay far away from her whenever he's angry. He couldn't afford to hurt her again!! Never!!
He took a step back from her, Elen saw the look on his face, that was the first time she ever saw raw emotions on his face. He looked as if he was fighting an internal battle. He looked terrified as if he had seen the scariest thing in his life.
Elen stood up to meet him but he stopped her.
"Don't come any closer...stay right there!!" He said. His voice was sounding pained as if he was struggling.
"P-p-please, don't go..I'm fine, look." She said convincing him. She took a step forward but he stepped back again.
"I said don't come any closer." He warned and this time Elen obeyed, it was not because he told her to, but because her thought about him being disgusted by her presence stopped her in her movements. That was right!! How could she forget that he's always disgusted whenever he's with her. Why is she even doing all of this? She's not in love with him, so why does it hurt this much? She thought and a single tear dropped from her eyes.
She needed to stop all of this foreign feelings. She shouldn't feel this way for him!! She should obey him and stay far away from him!! She should get rid of whatever thing it is that she's feeling for him. Maybe this was for the better. Staying far away from him means that she would be able to get rid of anything she's feeling for him.
Alexander turned to Robert and his other men. They gulped down in fear. They had witnessed what he had done to his wife. Though, they knew he didn't do it intentional and they knew the reason why his anger had taken full control over him. They just felt pity for the princess but surprisingly when they saw her expression, she wasn't scared at all which left them in utter awe.
But now their prince was standing before them, his aura at that moment blazed uncontrollably and they couldn't help but shrink back in fear.
"I want you five to take her home. Her safety is your utmost priority now and I don't want anything happening to her. Did I make myself clear?"
"Yes, your highness. Rest assured, we'll take care of the princess." Amadeus spoke.
"Good, I'll be back in five days time. Don't tell the princess anything about it, okay? And also don't let her out of the palace." He ordered and they all nodded. They watched him leave their sight.
.....
Elen was standing there, utterly broken. She couldn't believe he just left her here. Well, this was her fate and she couldn't do anything to tamper with it.
The five men walked towards her, all fully armed.
"Let's go, your highness." Finn spoke and the Elen nodded. She stepped into the carriage with Robert and Lucas with her while the rest boarded another carriage.
"Do you know where alexa- I mean his highness went to?" Elen asked Lucas.
"I'm sorry your highness, but he did not mention." Lucas said.
"And he didn't take any of you with him, will he be alright?"
"Rest assured princess, his highness is very strong and nothing could harm him." Robert said with a grin.
"Okay, did he mention when he was coming?" She asked and they both glanced at each other.
"No, your highness." Lucas spoke before Robert could say a word.
Elen could only sigh. She knew she wouldn't get answers from them. How would they know? Their just his soldiers and they definitely won't know much about him.
