The sight of his wife hugging a big white dog in their bed had Sebastian freezing in his steps and stood standing by the door, as still as a statue.

It took him a long while before his shocked expression finally unfroze and changed into something else… deep and heavy, utter jealousy. His face turned few shades darker, and his eyes glittered dangerously in the dark.

The small muscles on his face ticked as the air around turned unbearably heavy. But he once again took a deep breath, shut his eyes and clenched his fist tightly. It could be seen that his whole frame was even trembling slightly with the effort of him trying to suppress his anger. Once he opened his eyes again, whatever dark emotions that had been swirling in his eyes seemed to have been successfully controlled.

Quietly, he walked over to the bed with quiet and measured steps. His body remained a little tense as he walked around and stood next to the big white wolf that had dared to take his place on their bed.

When he stared at his wife and saw how comfortable Izabelle was as she snuggled herself against the wolf's furry back, Sebastian felt his dark emotions churn up again and almost blew up. His effort to keep his self-control at bay had been easily shattered. He just could not help it. This feeling he was having right now was just too strong for him to fully control. He knew it's insane and it's infuriating him how he had suddenly become such an emotional beast.

His eyes moved back to stare at the wolf that still remained docile beside his wife and even had its eyes closed again. That reaction from the wolf had Sebastian's face turned even darker. How dare this big fucking ball of white fur ignore him?

"Get. Off. Our. Bed." Sebastian hissed with so much effort, barely holding back from not just grabbing the wolf and throwing him out of their bed. His eyes that were currently staring down at the wolf was as deadly as could be.

The wolf opened his eyes again. His eyeballs moved and met Sebastian's infuriated gaze. Thankfully, the creature seemed intelligent enough not to provoke the raging beast of a man next to him.

But the moment the wolf lifted its head, Elle's arms that were wrapped around Snow White tightened. She even moaned softly as she held onto him tighter, as if afraid to let go, not wanting her furry and warm living pillow to run off somewhere.

That sight had Sebastian turning into a shocked statue once again. He looked as though he could not quite believe what he had just seen. He could not accept what had just happened.

His jaws worked even as his hands reached out. But just as he was about to violently grab Elle's arm, he stopped midway and clenched his fist so tight that his knuckles even turned white and made a cracking sound. Then after he slowly unclenched his fist, he then carefully reached out and gently curled his fingers around Elle's soft and small wrist. He just f**king needed to get her off this annoying wolf or he would go f**king crazy!!!

Just as Sebastian attempted to lift Elle's hand, the girl frowned and made a whining sound. She snatched back her arm from Sebastian's loose grip and burrowed herself into the wolf's fur and even hugged the wolf again. This time, even tighter.

Sebastian's hand trembled a little before he clenched them while holding it midair.

"You had better let go of this f**king wolf or I'll strangle him to death, Izabelle." He whispered in a tight voice. "I swear that if you don't, I'll gladly kill it immediately." He continued his threats.

She frowned again but did not even wake up. Instead, she lifted her leg and draped it over the wolf, as though she was hugging a bolster. It was also as if to block any possibility for it to be taken away from her.

Sebastian felt so frustrated. He had never felt this kind of maddening frustration before. He truly wanted to grab the wolf by force right now, without any care of what happens next. But part of him was still hesitating to go ahead with what he knew were his rash actions. The mere thought of her getting shocked or startled or the possibility that she might even get distressed because of his actions was enough to hold him back. And all these dithering and going back and forth with his decision was what was making it even harder for him. He was dying with frustration and anger and yet he still had to be worried of her f**king reaction on what he would do!!! He was truly going insane whenever it comes to matters regarding this woman!

"I'm serious, Izabelle." He threatened in a calm voice. And then he gently grabbed Elle's hand again. "Be good and let go of him now, before I…" his facial muscles ticked again when she refused to budge. Instead, she turned her face to bury it into the wolf's fur, trying to get even more comfortable in her sleep.

The air around Sebastian just continued getting heavier, as though something in him was threatening to blow up if the matter was not resolved soon.

He could only pull away and stood there with his hands braced on his waist, looking up at the ceiling as he drew in deep calming breaths and tried to compose himself.

After exhaling another deep breath, he made another attempt to hold Elle's hand again. This time, his eyes gleamed with firmness, as though he was determined on getting her away from this damned wolf. He needed to peel her off this f**king wolf before he ends up doing something he might regret later.

So, he stubbornly peeled her off the wolf, not stopping even as Elle made sounds of disapproval. He hoped she would not wake up yet. But just as he finally succeeded, Elle's eyes slowly fluttered opened.
