Elian's POV

I found myself knocking on the door for the second time. After two knocks that I felt were strong enough to be heard, the two panels that made up the door opened up. I flew into the grand hall and waited for Ambrogio to greet me like the last time I had been here.

Even though I had wanted to make this trip by myself, the clever Alphas came up with a way to come along. I had everything planned in my mind as to how it would all go down, until the twins screwed it up...

It was a few hours after breakfast and I was able to escape the Alphas' clutches to retreat to our room and pack a few clothes for however long I planned to stay in Italy. As I was leaving the door of the room, I bumped into a hard wall that I didn't remember being there. The wall started to chuckle and I looked up and found Kaspar smiling down at me, with Kasey right behind him.

"Now, what could you possibly be doing Elian?" Kaspar curiously asked.

I shrugged my shoulders, "Just going out for a walk, is all."

"With a bag on your back?"

At this point, I just figured if I teleported right there and then, it'd be easier to explain everything when I got back. Also, I wouldn't feel so guilty as to leaving my mates anymore than I already had. Although, it didn't quite work out that way. When I teleported in front of the underground door, the Alphas were right beside me. They made skin to skin contact with me before I teleported. Thus, me bringing them along.

"Can't get rid of us that easily babe," Kasey remarked with a smug grin.

I pouted, "Whatever, we're not going home until I feel like it."

"Fine by us. Are you going to knock on the door or would you prefer if I did it?" Kaspar's sarcasm was heavy and irritating me to no end.

I was taken out of my mini flashback when a familiar voice greeted the Alphas and I.

"Elian! What a nice surprise to see you here, well, it is not really a surprise. Alphas, I'm not that thrilled to see you but I suppose I'll be a nice guy for a few days to satisfy Elian," Ambrogio joked as the twins growled in response.

"Nice to see you too! Now, I am guessing that you already know why I am here. Where is he?" I asked after giving Ambrogio a friendly hug.

"I'll show you, he's been cooped up in his temporary bedroom. He refuses to speak to anyone, even me. Well, he kind of hates me but still, he should be able to trust me," he walked down the large hallway and there was a door to the right that he pointed to.

"Has he told you anything at all?"

Ambrogio shook his head and sighed, "Not one word, but he keeps muttering to himself that what he did was inexcusable. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to attend to some work. Feel free to come to my office afterwards."

I nodded and watched as he practically disappeared down the hall with his incredible speed. I then looked at the door in front of me and back to the Alphas.

"Can you stay here and just guard the door?" I asked sweetly as I pecked each mate on the lips.

They reluctantly nodded and I started to knock on the door, "Nikolai? It's Elian, I'm here to help. Please open the door."

I could hear footsteps move around in the room but the door was still locked.

"Nikolai, please just open the door."
