Alpha Princess's Possessive Mate

*Selene\'s PoV*

I was being introduced to each and everyone who had come to attend the bonfire from Waterwoods. It seemed like Channing was already acquainted with everyone. This was an exhausting task, but I tried my best to remember each and every one of the members present here. 

There was some dancing and some singing, which I had to be a part of. It was like this was a squad of people still in their adolescent years. 

After a long time of getting along and talking to everyone, I finally took my seat with a girl named sakura. She was very pretty and had a petite figure. If I wasn\'t around, she was swooning around Channing when I and Fang and arrived here. "So where do you originally come from?" Sakura asked as her tone slurred because of the liquor she was having. Either she was a light drinker or the liquor was strong enough because this was just her first glass. 

"Lagoons outside Adalolpha," I lied. That was from where many people judged me to be, so I decided to stick to it as it looked like people believed that about me. 

Sakura closed her eyes and then raised her eyebrows in shock, her eyelids opening later, "Whaaaaat, No way!" Sakura nodded her head at her every word and she leaned a little too backwards when I had to catch her to bring her back on the log of wood. "No way a hot thing like you comes from there," she continued, as if she wasn\'t about to fall just now. 

I scratched my eyebrows awkwardly, "My complexion changed after I came here."

I didn\'t know why I was even sitting here having this conversation, but Sakura had the almost same personality as Suzan, just a little drunk. 

Bane approached with the big bottle that was being prepared when I had come here. It had been hours and only Goddess Luna knew what they were preparing for so long. "Do you want some?" Bane asked sakura as if he was going around serving that exquisite drink. 

Sakura stood up as she almost stumbled, "Wait, let me get another glass for Selene here."

"I am fine," I said as I tried to get her to sit back down. 

But Sakura waved her hand, "Oh shut up, you come here and don\'t drink the wolfbane. Who are you kidding me?"

"Wolfbane!" I exclaimed, but by the time I could get her to clear it out, she was already on her way, wobbling, to get me a glass. I looked at Bane sceptically as he held the drink in his hand, "Is it really made of wolfbane flower? I heard that was poisonous for us werewolves."

"It is poisonous, so it is mixed with my blood and some fermented berries," Bane answered passively. 

Coming to think of it, I remembered how Bane had blood that was an antidote for every poison. It reminded me of the horrifying day when I was attacked in Waterwoods on Sylvie\'s plotting, and Fang brought back that wolf who had poisoned himself just to kill him by ripping off his head. I took a deep breath, trying to forget that and bring myself back to this moment. It had been a long night for me and I had mingled up with quite some people from Waterwoods. 

Fang was there all the time hovering around, making sure I was well acquainted with all, and I was glad that he had left my side now. But even Channing had gone somewhere with Fang and I was stuck here alone. I wasn\'t an introvert as such, but to be extroverted for this long was just too tiring. 

Sakura returned with another cup and asked Bane, "Full for the lady!" 

"I don\'t really think I would be drinking anything," I said to Bane this time, and he gave me a nod, filling the empty glass with as little of the special drink as possible. "Thank you," I whispered to him, but he gave a mechanical bow and left. 

"And here is you milady," Sakura handed me my cup, and I took it with a tight smile. My eyes stared at the drink and I really wasn\'t sure whether I should be drinking poison right now. 

"What are you up to?" I suddenly heard Channing\'s voice behind me and almost jumped up before cupping my mouth with my other free hand. 

I turned around to hit his shoulder. "You scared me," I said as I rolled my eyes before taking a seat beside Sakura. Suddenly I realised Sakura had gone to greet someone else who had just joined the party. Channing took a seat beside me, resting his elbows on his knees. I saw the new girl who had joined here and Sakura leaned herself on the new girl for a hug. "Who is she?" I asked Channing, as I had been not introduced to her before. 

Channing looked at the new girl with bob cut hair and funky specs. "That is Elma Hadid. She is from the capital. An excellent hairdresser." 

I creased my brows at him as my eyes went back to notice how Elma gave a bright smile to everyone around, as if all of them were her customers in her hair salon. One of the girls said something to her and Elma checked her hair as if she was about to advise her something. "What is a hairdresser from the capital doing at Waterwoods party?" I inquired, not taking my eyes away from her. 

Channing exhaled as if he had just downed a shot of hard liquor and I turned to him and then saw the cup in his hand. He shook his head and, blinking rapidly, answered, "She was here for Fang. Surprisingly, he got a haircut, I was just there with him and he looks sleek."

"Why would Fang get a haircut in the middle of the bonfire?" I asked in a ridiculous tone. 

Channing looked at the drink in my hand and pointed with his index, "are you going to drink that?" His tone had already started to slur, and I had seen the drunk Channing before. 

I passed the drink to him, "No, go ahead."

Channing downed everything in one go, shaking his head twice, "Bane is the best! Did you know this is made from wolfbane and blueberries? It hits crazy strong!" Channing spoke as if he was returning to his college years and I placed a hand under my chin to hear his words and the way he spoke, going back and back in time. He kept his hand on his head as if remembering something, "That answer to your question. Fang said you liked short hair, so I had gone to decide on a hairstyle for him, not that it matters he would look good in anything."

My mouth was left agape as I remembered how I had said that he looked stupid with his long hair. I doubted he did that because of my comment, but did he really? 

"Oh and Fanj," Channing spoke, breaking me from my thought and I could help but chuckle at how his accent had turned. "He wazzz calling you," Channing drawled on his words as the alcohol was doing its job, or maybe it was the special drink. 

I raised my eyebrows, still looking at Channing and his cute transformation with a wide grin, "Where was he calling me?" 

Channing raised his hand to point far right, "To the yield of flowers." I giggled at how he messed the field with yield and followed where he was pointing when I saw Fang standing at the far end. His smoulder heavy as he narrowed his eyes at me and Channing. Fang really looked sharp in his new haircut where his hair was side-parted and one half combed back and the other fell on his temple, ruffling with the wind. Jealousy and possessiveness oozed in every bit of the look that he was giving me and my smile that was there because of Channing dropped. 

"I will meet him and come back," I said, without taking my eyes away from Fang as I took in a sharp breath. He looked seriously pissed off. 

Channing waved his one hand as he was about to lean back on his other hand, "Go g-" 

Thud!

I turned around to look at Channing, who had slipped and had fallen down. An uncontrolled giggle escaped my lips as I looked around first to check who was watching and not many had noticed it. Everyone was drunk here. "Come here, Channing, give me your hand," I extended my arm ahead as one of my legs rested against the log. 

Channing opened and closed his eyes at a slow pace and shook his head, looking around, "Woah, was that an earthquake?"
