Alpha Princess's Possessive Mate

We made our way from inside Waterwoods. With Fang being in his wolf form, we couldn\'t have been able to go through No-man\'s-land. There were patrolling wolves from Waterwoods who saw us and I really wanted to bury my face into Fang\'s back right now, "Maybe I should walk for sometime," I asked as it had been a lot of time since he was carrying me. 

"We will walk," Fang telecommunicated, as he picked up his speed suddenly. While rushing ahead, I turned my face to the other side and saw Suzan\'s wolf patrolling there on the side of Winterwells. 

I really had no choice but to lean forward and bury my face in Fang\'s fur. There were too many eyes on us and if someone from Winterwells spotted me here, going across the Waterwoods border riding over the back of the Alpha of Waterwoods, then I was for sure in trouble. On the other side, the wolves from Waterwoods were looking baffled at their Alpha carrying on his back and I was sure Fang had never done this before with the way they all were gobsmacked right now. 

After some time, I smelled a familiar scent and saw Lindsey, one of the betas of Waterwoods, standing there. Her expressions changed ever so slightly, observing Fang carrying me and it went back to its usual state when we approached. 

"Keep her safe here till I come back," Fang as if ordered her and that was my cue to get down. 

I quickly turned and got down from over Fang to approach Lindsey. My eyes did not dare look around to see the wolves and the others eyeing me curiously. Their gaze was intense enough for me to feel it without them looking at me. 

Fang had gone off and not after a few more minutes, he returned. I was waiting inside the building that was built like a wall across the Waterwoods border. 

"Let\'s go," Fang said as he had approached from behind me, and I almost jolted by his sudden voice. I saw him dressed in all black as usual, but this time he was wearing a sleeveless t-shirt along with three fourth bottoms. His t-shirt hugged him tight and his biceps flexed as he held my wrist without asking me and tugged me behind the building. "We will walk from here, it is not that far."

"Okay," I said awkwardly. Somehow, since the time Fang had marked me, I have been feeling a little weird in his company. Suddenly, Fang stretched his hand out to me with his other hand in his pant pockets. 

I looked at his hand and then at him. Was he expecting me to hold his hand? We were still walking, and I narrowed my eyes at him before looking ahead. But after some time, Fang\'s hand came in right in front of my face and I almost stumbled when my head stopped and my body walked ahead a step before coming to a halt. 

Fang raised his eyebrows, and I raised mine in return. He rolled his eyes and pointed at his hand with his head not speaking a word. 

I did not understand why he was so adamant about it. We were not some teenagers to be holding hands and, for that matter, not even lovers. I raised my hand and instead of placing it in his, I gave him a clap. Fang\'s eyes went wide before he chuckled, "Seriously?"

"What, I am not a kid to hold your hand," I said as I rolled my eyes and started walking ahead. 

Fang caught up to me, "Don\'t walk around like you know where the party is. Without a permit, you are trespassing Waterwoods right now." Fang had his devil smile back on his face as he said that. This man really could not go a day without threatening me. 

"I have the permission of the Alpha of Waterwoods," I said as I stomped ahead and it only had me receive a chuckle from Fang. "Stop laughing."

"Why? Do I look too charming when I laugh?" Fang asked. 

I gave him a tight smile, "It is the opposite. You\'d rather haunt people\'s dreams with that wicked laugh."

"I don\'t care about people," Fang said as he waved his hand, "I care about you, do I come in your dreams?" The moment he asked, the irritated look on my face fell and was replaced by a serious look. I have rarely dreamt since the time I have been out of the dungeons but last night it was a terrible nightmare. I felt Fang\'s hand come from behind me to pat on my head, "Dreams should be treated as just a part of an entertainment or they start to disrupt our lives, no matter good or bad."

Fang was consoling me, and I did not know how to respond to that. I hated sharing my thoughts with people, but here Fang was, without my knowledge going through my head. I always wondered how he chose to stick by my side after knowing how many hateful thoughts I had for him. 

He outstretched his hand out to me again, and this time I rolled my eyes at his persistence and placed my hand in his.

He held my hand, interlacing the fingers as we walked. 

"You know," Fang commented as my body turned a little stiff at the way he was circling his thumb around my skin. I looked at him, anticipating something stupid from him when he said, "I stretched out my hand asking for my mobile back, it\'s good to know you are fine with holding my hand." I immediately turned flustered as I withdrew my hand out of his hold, and Fang snickered at how fast I got his mobile out to give it back. "You look cute when you are all red."

"I am red with anger," I said as I huffed and walked ahead. 

Fang did a little run to hold my wrist, and I jerked it out of his hold, "The bonfire is this way, little one," Fang stated, and I turned around, getting a little embarrassed. Fang\'s lips curled as I went ahead to walk beside him in the other direction. He leaned to my ears and said, "You are redder than before."

"Shut up and walk Fang," I said, irritated, as I could not go ahead of him this time. We were headed in the deeper parts of Waterwoods and I could see the smoke rising in the air from some distance. 

After a few more steps ahead inside the thicket of trees, there was a circular clearing, and I saw many people had already gathered there. 

The chattering became louder as we went forward and I saw Channing had already come here and was talking to a group of girls in one corner. He was the first one to notice me and excused himself from them to come to approach me and Fang, "What took you so long, don\'t tell me you started in the forest itself."

"Channing!" I shouted, as if I was offended. "It was nothing like that. I and Fang have nothi-"

Fang cupped my mouth as he spoke, "You know how new couples can be in extreme heat sometimes and the forest is a beautiful place to experiment."

I removed Fang\'s hand from over my mouth and took my distance from him. My eyes trowed glares at him. If Fang was a dartboard, I would have made sure all the darts were fired on his tongue to keep this devil from speaking. "There is nothing going on between me and Fang, don\'t listen to his stupid chattering," I said to Channing as I grabbed his wrist and pulled him towards others. This little action was enough to make Fang jealous, so I left Channing immediately before Fang tried anything funny. 

I heard footsteps from behind me, and I was sure that Fang was going to act out his possessiveness right now. I just hoped he did not talk about us being soulmates. 

Suddenly, I felt a jerk on my shoulder and Fang had walked right from in between me and Channing. He held my wrist and pulled me ahead to walk beside him and my feet wobbled as I caught up with him. "Fang, slow down!"

"Everyone," Fang brought in all the attention towards us and my breath froze in my lungs. "This is our special guest for today. We gather here in celebration of Selene becoming the Beta of Winterwells." My eyes went wide at him. Everyone here was from Waterwoods, and Fang had openly talked about Winterwells. It immediately worried me what the reactions I was going to receive.
