It was hard to describe the feelings that Silas was feeling at that moment. Hearing the words of love for someone else from the person whom you love is the cruelest thing on earth. He realized, sensed every inch of pain at that moment. Maybe his emotions started from one single mistake but he started liking his for real. No bond, no mistake.. This time, he felt her for real. These days without watching her much around were nearly driving him crazy. But he held it back, convincing himself repeatedly telling that their right time would come.

His claws came out invoulantarily, leaving scratches over the hard wall as a proof of his anger. Creatures like him didn't do well when it came to control emotions. Either they screamed venting out their anger or they showed their powers to destroy whatever made him upset.

Isabella didn't know what was happening by her side. Her eyes laid on the lanterns that made their way throughout the sky and was immersed into her own thoughts. Silas clenched his teeth tightly to suppress his rage. Something was pushing up inside to come out and he knew very well what could happen if he lost control. His breathing became erratic and heavy. His chest raised up and down consistently as a reflection of his inner rage.

His claws kept extending unbelievably too long which wasn't in the character of shifter wolf. His mind pushed him to do something to Isabella. His inner mind wanted to hurt Isabella to let her know the consequences of hurting his feelings. Silas battled until the very end and lowly growled to stop his crazy thoughts.

His claws were burning to grasp Isabella to show her who he was. But he fought to hold back and glanced up at her smiling face blankly. Sometimes he wondered how crazily her smile managed to control his emotions. Just one simple smile on her face could give him the urge of battling against the entire world even though he was no one to her heart.

Silas fisted his palms together to hide his claws and kept reflecting on his actions internally. Isabella instinctively looked down only to be shocked to find out that the railings had such marks as if someone was scratching on it. Just a simple glance, she could guess that the mark was left by some creatures who had claws.

She gasped running her fingers over the mark to speak to him curiously,

" Who did come before us? O my god! It must be some ferocious animal."

Isabella's voice panicked him more. His body stiffened knowing that Isabella had noticed his misdeeds. He swallowed hard and used all his self strength to stop those claws which were coming out.

Isabella looked up at him strangely. For a while, it was only her who talked and Silas didn't respond anything except hearing. Her gaze turned serious upon looking at him. She sensed that Silas was going through a tough time. His expression was dark as if he was having some inner battles. Isabella's voice grew concerned as she called him softly,

" Duke Silas?"

Silas didn't respond and it only made her worried since his facial expression wasn't one of his best one. He was breathing through his nose irregularly. His lips parted and closed unevenly which was why she was more suspicious about him. Silas kept fisting his palms until Isabella grew closer to his body. She placed her hand over his forearm slowly to whisper his name,

" Duke Silas, are..are you okay?"

Warm current flow through his body. Her touch felt like the first raindrop after a rough summer. It was blissful and comforting that tamed the beast inside him faster than he expected. His tensed body relaxed under her light touch and all of sudden, he was pushed back to reality.

Hearing his name from her mouth,Silas turned his face aside to look at her bewildering. His response came out as whisper as he spoke to her,

" I..I am okay..Can you go somewhere with me please!"

Isabella was a little taken back by the sudden change of subject. Her hesitation was evident on her facial expression. The queen didn't like their close relationship but at the same time, she didn't find the courage of saying 'No' right in front of him.

Her eyes flew backwards on the lanterns where some of them were on the brink of collapsing over the ground. Her lips parted after a while of thinking,

" All right but we must come back before dawn."

Silas squealed like a child excitedly. Taking a step back from her, his long wings flaunted open in a shot as he whispered to her with a smile,

" You won't regret it. Trust me!"

Isabella wondered where he was taking her. But this night she wished to trust him for once. The man who saved her life didn't deserve to be ignored by her always. She inteneded to use her own dragon wings but thinking about her health which was regaining her previous strength slowly, she gave up and supported her weight onto him. Silas smiled widely at her initiative move and in a blink of eye, he flew away from the tower leaving the tower, lanterns all behind. His mood was exceptionally good since she agreed to give her time willingly. It was a good sign and he was going to use every bit of it wisely. A woman's heart isn't easy to mend since she has broken too much, lost too much. It is a matter of days where he needs to take care of her slowly until she agrees to open her heart for him.

Isabella kept holding onto him for her dear life. He was so close to her body that her skin could feel the heat of his skin. The journey wasn't long in the sky. They landed down safely. When their feet touched the wet grass, a bunch of kids ran over on their way calling and squealing excitedly,

" Father is back..."
