Xiden POV

I watched her.

I watch the tears streaming down he angelic face, I watch how her heart broke when I asked her to leave, I saw the hurt...the anger, but not the hate.

She's too innocent, too good...too pure to hate someone. She believes that things happen for a reason and instead of fighting it, just go with the flow.

My beast is tucked away, refusing to show himself without Amira, his Amira.

I can still hear her, the heart wrenching sobs escaping her lips, the lips I used to kiss, devour, fighting to get more of her sweet taste.

She appears from the hallway, going straight for the elevator doors when it opened. Amira stopped in her tracks when she saw everyone in the elevator.

Armanno. Alfanso. Alonza. Marcelo. Alessandro and Enrico.

I can see her body tensing up when they step off walking towards her. "Princess, why are you crying," Armanno questions trying to wipe away her tears and I clenched my fists. Amira stepped back, her body trembling when she saw him lift his hands and another gut wrenching sob leaves her as her body shook more.

"Where are you going doll?" Alfanso asks. "What happened to your neck?" He asked angrily. I thought that she would tell them that it was me, that I had hurt the woman I swear to protect with my life after bringing her in my world.

But she betrayed me.

Where's the proof? My beast snarled. You're just a spineless fucking sheep when it comes to your brother.

That's not true, Aiden would never manipulate me, he's my brother, not by blood but by choice and that just makes our bond stronger.

I refuse to believe that he would lie to me.

"Pl-please guys, I.. I just want to leave," she said, her voice so sad.

Aiden emerges from out of the kitchen, sitting beside me on the couch resting him hand on my shoulder. "You did the right thing brother."

If I did then why do I feel like I want to lock her I'm my room and grovel at her feet.

Why do I feel like if she walks into that elevator she will be taking half of me with her.

Why do I feel like I'm fucking going crazy and she hasn't left yet.

Fuck.

My muscles twitch as I was about to get up and stop her, "Don't brother, this is what they want. Don't let a simple girl be your downfall brother." But what he doesn't know is that if she walks aways, it will be my downfall.

"No, you are not leaving until I know what's going on." Armanno barked and she started crying harder.

My jaws clenched, my feet bouncing up and down ina rhythmic pattern while grinding my teeth. "Back off Armanno," I growled out.

His gaze snaps over to me, then to Aiden by my side, then over to me then to Amira. "Princess..."

She pushed pass him and stumbled into the elevator pushing the button reportedly trying to make the elevator doors close faster. Alessandro and Enrico went after her without my command but I stopped them halfway. "Don't leave her side for a minute or you're both dead."

"Boss." The replied.

I watch as they went into the elevator with her Alessandro comforting her while she wept.
