Sebastian looked from Ellen to Julia, " Did I interrupt something?" He asked with a smirk playing on his lips. He was not surprised that Julia made such an offer. After all, he knew his brother always had eyes for everything that belonged to him.

Ellen looked at the close proximity between her and Julia and regretted her decision of not moving away when he came close to her. Their position was very subjective and she could not blame him if he misunderstands her.

"Of course not, brother," Julia answered trying to sound sarcastic but the fear under his breath failed him. He knew he was in the wrong this time. He should not go after his brother's wife.

'Why did I even take the risk knowing, the beast was close,' he questioned himself. Julia immediately escaped from there when he noticed his bother had his gaze fixed on his wife.

"Why are you here with him?" Sebastian asked. Ellen swallowed feeling his rage directed at her. I.. I... Ellen could not find her voice. She was so scared that all the words in her head disappeared. She felt like she has forgotten how to speak.

"Your highness," Ellen breath trying to catch her breath. she has never been this frightening all her life. 'I should have keep pretended to sip from my cup," she thought.

If only she did not come out to throw the drink, she would not have encounter the two face prince.

Sebastian seeing her short of words concluded that she was feeling guilty. He felt so angry that he lost control of his mind. His beast was taking over and he felt blood tasty. He moved closer to Ellen, who was overcome with fear. So when she saw him coming closer she unconsciously moved backward.

This further irritates him, "What's wrong, you were feeling comfortable moments ago," he commented. Ellen sh0ck her head. Just like she has expected, he misunderstood her.

"I... Your highness," Ellen continues to Stammer.

" What's a wrong princess?" Sebastian asked, he was used to people getting so scared of him. It was the only emotion he was used to seeing. He placed his hand da around her neck.

"Are you attracted to my brother too?" he asked looking right into her eyes. Ellen wanted to shake her head since she could not find her voice but his grip on her neck was too tight that she could not move.

Forgetting that he was holding on to her neck, he tightens his grip. Ellen felt all air left her throat. She was looking directly into his bloodshot eyes. Ellen struggle to breathe, she held his hands trying to lose his grip but she was not a match for his strength

Her pupil was turning white and she could see the hands of death outstretch to embrace her. It was at his point that Ellen's feet hit the wine cup and it chimes as it hit the ground.

This noise snaps Sebastian out of his daze. He immediately loses his grip on Ellen's neck. The latter immdetly tried to catch her breath. Unfortunately, her body felt week so she lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Sebastian noticed on time and caught her before her back hit the ground. He noticed the fresh wine pour on the ground and the cup that fell opposite. He did not have the time to give it much thought, He simply picked her up and turned to their quarter.

"Am I really turning to a Beast?' he questioned himself. What would have happened if the cup did not fall, would I have killed my sunshine," he questioned himself.

Ahh, he felt really regretful about what he did. He never wanted her to see that part of him. That's was his reason for ignoring Julia even if he felt like snapping his neck away from his head. He could not explain why he got so angry and attack her. He was sure she has heard the rumors but he still did not want her to witness it. She was his sunshine, the only light in his darkness. "

Sebastian walked to his quarters, and Jeffery opened the door for him. Jeffery was shocked to Sebastian carrying Ellen unconscious.

'What did you do to her?" He wants to scream but he dares not. He simply walked behind him quietly cursing him in his mind.

Jeffrey opens the door to Ellen's chamber, As Sebastian walked past him, Jeffrey notices the mark on Ellen's neck. Jeffery shook his head before walking away to call one of her maids to attend to her.

Sebastian sat beside her bed and listen to her heartbeat. He felt a little relief hearing her regular heartbeat. He kept looking at her, his gaze soft and guilty, especially when he saw the buries his hands caused on her neck. He felt angry at himself.

"I am sorry," he muttered under his breath before getting up to leave her room. What he felt like doing was punching himself in the face.

The maids at the chamber door bowed their heads in fear when they watched him walk towards them. "Your highness," they greeted as soon as he was close enough. Afraid that he just might kill them if they waited for an extra breath.

Without answer or looking at them, Sebastian walked out of Ellen Chamber.

"Your Highness," Jeffrey called to get his attention. Jeffrey swallow hard seeing that the prince was in a bad mood. He wondered what the princess could have done to get the prince so angry at her. He has noticed that Sebastian, gaze turn softer anytime he talked about Ellen. So it came as a surprise to him, that the prince hurt her.

Sebastian nods his head for Jeffrey to speak.

"There is a message," Jeffery reported holding out their special communication book. He already notices the message for some time but he did not dare read it.

Sebastian collected the book reluctantly and check but his gaze becomes more foster seeing the contain.

He became blood lost again, Jeffrey noticing the prince's mood and took two steps away from him. He watches the prince's eyes turn bloodshot and his fingers grow longer. He could see the prince was trying to hold back.

"This is bad," Jeffery muttered under his breath wondering what could be the message that had the power to make his prince lose control. Jeffery walked quietly and picked the communication book.

His eyes almost fell on the floor when he read the message.
