As the darkness that was surrounding Sebastian’s body slowly subsided, Elle’s heart swelled with utter relief. She had been so afraid. Afraid that the darkness or whatever this powerful energy shrouding her beloved would consume him completely. But now, as he held her face in his hands, she could see the light returning to his eyes.
“Iza!” he exclaimed in a hoarse voice, utter shock and myriads of other emotions were whirling within the depths of his eyes. And without warning, he pulled her into a tight embrace, holding her close as if he was planning to never let go of her ever again.
“I will never… let go of you again, Iza. Never. Do you hear me?” he said, his voice trembling. “Even if you beg, I won’t… I won’t ever, Izabelle. I don’t care if you hate me because I can’t… I f**king can’t bear even the thought of losing you again. Do you understand?” He sounded so emotional, so desperate that she could literally see how scared he was. There was a slight tremble in his arms that were holding her close to him, as though wanting to pull her close – so close that he could absorb her into himself.
Elle felt tears prick at the corners of her eyes as she returned the tight embrace, holding him just as tightly. She could not believe that despite the unreal and overwhelming power around him, especially when she first appeared in this place, he was actually this scared. That fact that she had caused him to be this traumatized made her heart crack a hundred times over.
“Mmm…” Elle spoke softly, her voice filled with love and tenderness. “I’m sorry for making you worry about me, Seb. I promise I won’t try to go anywhere by myself again. And if I do, you’ll definitely be going along with me. I promise.”
Sebastian held her even tighter, his trembling finally subsiding.
For many long moments, they remained locked in each other’s embrace, their bodies pressing tightly together as they held one another close, until Sebastian’s eyes dropped down and saw the cuts that were running across Elle’s wrists.
“Who… who dared…” he growled, his voice filled with a dangerous intensity as a heavy pressure built around them.
As Sebastian’s anger flared up again, Elle knew that she had to do something to calm him down. She did not want him to lose control again, not after she had just managed to get him back to his senses not too long ago!
Without hesitation, she grabbed at his face and pulled him towards her, slanted her head and pressed her lips against his in a desperate kiss. She could feel the ferocious power coursing through his body, just barely being held back from being unleashed, but she did not back down. Instead, she pushed her tongue into his mouth, deepening the kiss and pouring all of her love and passion into it.

His power was still pulsing from within him, but it was more controlled and directed electrical surge now rather than a wild and uncontrollable lightning strike from earlier. And then he responded to her with a wild abandon, his tongue meeting hers in a fiery dance of love and desire. Both wanting to conquer, yet wanting to give all of themselves to the other person as well.
Elle was still aware of the other men in the room who were with them and was definitely looking on at their actions, but she did not care. All that mattered to her right now was Sebastian alone.
As the two were lost in their own worlds, consumed by their passion for each other, Gav who was watching the scene with a black face nonchalantly crossed his arms over his chest.
“Now that’s interesting. It seems that the little lady’s really capable.” Gav mumbled, looking pretty amazed and amused at the same time that she indeed had managed to pull Sebastian back to his senses like she had declared a while ago. He had thought she was talking big, but apparently, she was not.
When his gaze fell on Zeke, his brow lifted. “Hmm? You want me to heal her? Like now?” Gav muttered, not bothering to use telepathy even though Zeke was talking to him through it. “And seriously, Zeke… I didn’t know you have such a gentle and loving side to you after all when all you do in the Underworld is kill and torture…” he trailed off when Zeke’s gaze sharpened.
“Yeah, yeah,” Gav chuckled as he raised both his hands in mock surrender. “Demanding as always.”
As Gav flicked his fingers, a bluish-dark magic traveled from his fingertips and wrapped around her wrists. It was like nothing she had ever seen before, a smoke-like substance that seemed to pulse with energy.
Feeling the magic flowing through her, Elle looked down at her wrist. The bluish-dark magic wrapped around her wrists, caressing her skin with a strange energy that she had never felt before. It was almost as if the magic had a life of its own, moving and pulsing with a gentle, soothing rhythm. It was like a warm current that soothed her pain. It was a strange sensation, both exhilarating and a little frightening.
Elle watched in amazement as the magic worked its way over her skin, mending her wounds with a speed that seemed almost miraculous. In just a few seconds, her wrists were completely healed. As the magic faded away, Elle examined her wrists, expecting to see at least some sign of the wounds that had been there just moments before. But to her surprise, there was nothing there. No scars, no marks, nothing.
Her gaze followed the magic back to Gav, and she couldn’t help but feel a surge of awe at the power he possessed.He had done her a huge favor because it would be very hard for Sebastian to ignore her wounds even if she wasnt bleeding anymore.
