"Oh, my Cara. What did you do to yourself? How could you harm sothing that was mine? Don’t you know you are not allowed?" Sebastian whispered to her, his forehead ticking when he saw her trembling lower lip.
"Prince Sebastian, she needs psychic help to snap out of whatever maze she is stuck in and -" Pluto stopped when Nathaniel held his hand.
Nathaniel shook his head at his friend.
This friend of his already created big trouble and he hated him for it, but he didn’t want him to indulge with the beast and end up losing his life.
He didn’t know what it was, but seeing Sebastian, for so reason, he knew that he would be able to help her without them needing to use any magic. As much as he hated to know it, that was the truth.
If it had been earlier, he would’ve been able to calm her too because at that ti he used to hug her, kiss her cheeks and forehead, and coax her with her hand on his heart to calm her down, but things were different now.
Sebastian felt his heart squeezing when he heard her whisper.
"Just kill , please. I can’t take it anymore. No more betrayals, please," Elliana whispered in her anxiety attack again, her face turning pale like a sheet of paper.
It almost felt like soone asked for his life and plunged their hands on his chest before clenching his heart. It was that painful for him.
"Hey, hey, baby, look at . Open your eyes, my Cara. What is it? I will handle it all. No one will betray you. The bad days are gone. I am here. Please calm down baby, and take soft breaths. For , for your Mr. Marino," Sebastian coaxed her, caressing her hair as he pulled her close to his heart, sighing when he felt her trembling body against his.
"Shhh, my Cara. How much will you cry, my baby? You are scaring . You know how much I care for you, don’t you? What do you want from ? You know my beast won’t let you go. And for you to keep close, he will fight the Grim Reaper too. We can’t live without you. You know my heart is a safe place for you. Co and make your ho like you have taken the entire place already," Sebastian whispered sweet nothing in her head.
He hugged her closer to himself, rocking her like a child.
"Can you concentrate on , Cara? You promised you would tell every ti you were in pain. So why am I hearing about it from others," Sebastian felt agitated, but he knew he needed to cure his princess first.
"You know how much you an to , fight? Your prints start from my body and end on my soul. You have beco my life. My subordinates have started to use your na now to calm and save themselves from any severe punishnt. I don’t know if the moon goddess is real or not, but when I t you, I knew there was soone who couldn’t see in eternal pain," Sebastian whispered to her.
Pluto looked at his friend, who was just standing in the corner, watching the girl he loved being coaxed by another man, and felt guilty about whatever happened tonight.
It must be a tragic situation for Nathaniel. Neither can he leave the room because he needs to ensure she is safe, nor can he look at what is happening in front of him without getting hurt. Pluto looked down at his feet in sha.
"How can you say you want to leave ? Don’t you know I will chase you through hell? Because I am sure I have tainted you a bit more for the angels to allow you. You have to go to hell, and it won’t be a problem for to bring you from there. Don’t you know you are a devil’s possession?" Sebastian asked.
Nathaniel looked at the man in front of him, not knowing how to react.
Was he the sa dangerous man who wouldn’t let anyone even near him? He knew that Elliana was falling for this man and that he took great care of her, but this? This was the first ti he saw it in person, and for so reason, he didn’t feel bad losing Elliana anymore.
Maybe she would be more happy with him, a person who wasn’t afraid of showing what he felt without a care who was standing in front of him.
It was almost like seeing a beast blowing air on a human’s scratches.
When her breathing wasn’t evening and they noticed she was going back into that maze of self-depreciation, Pluto stepped ahead.
"I know I might be crossing a line, Prince Sebastian, but she really needs help. You -"
"It’s all about snapping her out of the maze, right? I don’t need soone else’s help to heal my wife," Sebastian glared at the witch before he pulled out a dagger from his pocket, making Pluto’s pupils dilate.
Woah, what the hell? Don’t tell him he was going to cut Princess to snap her out.
"Princess, I got hurt. It’s too much blood. Please help . I need blood," Sebastian whispered in her ears before he grabbed the sharp side of the blade and raised his hand over her lips, letting the blood drop on her lips.
Nathaniel gulped as he saw Elliana clenching her hand around Sebastian’s wrist and biting into his flesh.
He didn’t know his princess was already showing signs of being a siren. It was a good thing that it was a vampire’s blood and not a human’s or she would’ve broken all the locks in a second.
"Princess," Nathaniel imdiately stood straight when Elliana cald down completely and opened her eyes, fully conscious of her surroundings.
The first thing that ca into her vision was a shirt’s button and Elliana gulped when she realized there were warm hands wrapped around her body.
She rembered what had happened and what led to this situation, her heart skipping a beat and beating loudly, thinking about what she would explain to him and -
"You don’t have to explain anything to before the ti you have demanded to open up to . I will wait for your explanation patiently, Cara," Sebastian whispered before he placed his lips on her forehead, making a new wave of tears fall from the corner of her eyes as she threw herself on him and hugged him tighter.
"It always happens to . Why do my own parents want to kill ? Why can’t I receive love from them? Aaaaaaa," Elliana cried in his chest, making Sebastian take a deep breath as he let her cry and take all her emotions out on him.
He kept caressing her hair and patting her back as she broke his heart with her cries.
What was so tragic that she was crying like this? Did those filthy humans do sothing to hurt her again? Sebastian gritted his teeth.
"Aaaaaa," Elliana cried in his chest for what felt like hours before her cries started to change into hiccups as she slowly started to fall asleep in his arms, in a place where she felt the safest.
Sebastian sighed after he heard her faint breathing and finally raised his gaze to et the two witches who had been looking at his Princess.
"I hope you have a good explanation of what was happening here," Sebastian whispered as he tried to put Elliana on the bed.
However, she didn’t let go of his shirt and he gave up eventually, giving the witches a leeway to disappear.
Sebastian sighed and looked at his sleeping princess.
"Till when are you going to protect them?" he whispered to her before kicking his slippers away and getting properly into the bed with her.
