Alpha Princess's Possessive Mate

"Selene, don't listen to what people say. It is usually how it goes back in the village trials, but here the law prevails. Trust the law if you are telling the truth, you will get proper justice!" It had been 5 minutes now Channing held me close to him trying to cheer my pitiful self up. But here I was not ready to stop grousing about a verdict that was yet to be released.

Finally, he held my face between both his palms, "Oh, the tears have dried. Maybe we can harvest some salt off your sulky face" He said tauntingly and I slapped him on his shoulder.

"Ow, you are very strong!" he rubbed his shoulder like a kid, and I smiled at him. All my worries drowned with him around, I felt a sense of protectiveness like I had never before.

We were disturbed by a sudden commotion outside, I turned to Channing for asking what it was about but he was already on the run to check it out, 'Such a kid!'. We peeped outside and there was a crowd of girls swooning around someone.

Confused I asked, "what is this about, some guest appearance?"

"Haha" Channing laughed covering his face as he sighed, "He is always so extra when he makes an entrance"

"Who?"

"You'll know soon enough, it's the Alpha of Wterwoods" Channing replied waiting for this unknown star entrance with glitter in his eyes.

The crowd closed in near the door we were leaning against and Channing pulled me back in, "Stay here the crowd won't be allowed inside"

I simply nodded and waited to see who had created such racket around him? The lobby that we stood in was separated from the outer area by a small door and the officers were struggling with the crowd from entering inside

"LADIES MOVE!", a voice came from amid the crowd and I immediately recognised it as Lindsey's, the beta of Waterwoods.

The crowd in front was pushed aside with such brute strength that everyone scattered causing an involuntary stampede. Lindsey stood there with arms extended on both her sides showing she was the one who did the deed.

"Girl got some serious strength!" I said raising my eyebrows.

"This is nothing!" Exclaimed Channing, "she once unrooted an entire tree with her bare hands".

My eyes went wide but I thought it was probably some stupid rumour that Channing believed, 'How can someone be that strong!'

She entered inside holding a man's hand, pulling him behind her. And I got answers to all my questions.

This man was godly handsome - he had a fair wheatish complexion with eyes that embodied burnt lava. They were perfectly complemented by his long lashes and broad, neatly shaped eyebrows. His jawline looked as if it could cut steel and his nose did a clean job of splitting his face symmetrically.

He took a deep breath through his petulant, full lips and sensually ran his fingers through his unruly jet black hair moving them away from his face. I couldn't help but drool over his ravishing physique.

But somehow he looked irritated like his aura was reeking dark and the first thing he did was turn around towards the horde with a middle finger "Pieces of shit"

My jaw dropped as I tried to register his reaction, how can he be so impolite being the face of an entire village!

Lindsey just asked him to ignore them, dragging his tall stature further inside.

I already hated him, why do people with good looks have to act as if they are at the top of the food chain! His face gave a menacing vibe that made all his pluperfect looks imperfect, his attitude and his temper ruined everything that goddess Luna had gifted him.

Suddenly his eyes averted to us and I awkwardly shifted in place expecting an abhorrent exchange of words between him and Channing.

Channing was standing so close to me with one of his hand on my shoulder, which I didn't even realise until now, he smiled at the stranger and the handsome man returned the smile amicably.

He strolled towards us and the more closer he came all the more handsome he seemed, but I had made my mind to hate this charming devil. His steps stopped in front of us focusing on Channing extending his hand, which Channing took casually and said, "Finally I meet you! You are never there in Waterwoods when I visit"

The man did a staged laugh and replied through his deep raspy voice, "I'm sorry about that. Let's go drinking after this case is over, it's on me"

I raised my eyebrows blinking way too fast, this looks like a different guy, A Totally Different Guy!

And isn't there supposed to be an ongoing feud inside the villages? What is with this friendly environment!

Swiftly Channing pointed towards me, "This is Selene, our new recruit!"

I tried to smile hiding my awkward face as I extended my hand forward, "Hello, nice to meet you"

The man took it, squinting his eyes as an artificial smile pulled upon his face, "Hello Selene! I'm Fang Warchild - Alpha of Waterwoods. I heard you accused us of John's death!... Nice to meet you."

There was a little threat hidden in the fake humble greeting. I immediately let go of his hand and stepped back to stand beside Channing, this man standing in front of me was someone with whom I had to weigh my words properly.

Channing laughed at my gesture and put his arm around my shoulder, it somehow bothered me but I didn't say anything cause it made me feel safe at that moment.

"This little one is quite timid, are you sure she was the one who saved you?", Fang's sly comment totally got on my nerves, I so badly wanted to show him how not-so-timid I was. But he was just aggravating me, so all I did was ignore him.

Channing laughed in response, "she is new here Fang, don't pull her leg just yet. Since we have time and you are here, let's go for lunch together in the cafeteria."

Fang glance at me with one end of his lips pulling up, "Sure!"

I gulped not knowing what was yet to come, the way he pulled off his greeting with me already had me worried. If the one who attacked John wasn't from Waterwoods then Fang had now marked me for throwing allegations on them. The case was already going against me was another fact to ponder.

There was a door to our right which I hadn't noticed until now, it led to a serene cafeteria with live music. My father really put a lot of money into this stupid stuff instead of developing the villages, as a king, he should at least consider managing the expenses smartly.

At the far corner was a table adjacent to a window overlooking a fountain, we took a seat there and ordered for ourselves. The food was overtly expensive of course, but I guess I was just rich and so were the two Alpha's dining with me.

Now that I observed, Fang was dressed in complete black as if it was his favourite colour. His shirt hugged his muscular build as he folded his arms leaning back on the chair comfortably, probably impatient about the food.

I didn't realise I was staring at him until he turned towards me and deviously smirked, "something fascinating found your eyes?"

My eyes blinked rapidly trying to find something else but landed back on him as he was staring at me now. Understanding the foolish mistake of meeting his shrewd eyes, I slowly looked away towards the window now embarrassed of my actions.

But his eyes bore into the side of my face and I instinctively looked back at him, this time I decided to not back off till he does.

His eyes narrowed as a faint smile braced his face, "Love the scenery little one?"

I rolled my eyes remembering I am supposed to hate this person and turned to face Channing who looked as if calculating something in his mind, "Anything bothering you Channing?" I asked wanting to get Fang off my head.

"Ya, I forgot where the washroom was", my eyebrows raised in response and I chuckled at his little childish concern.

"Let's go and find it together"

"No need, we don't want both of you kids getting lost together out there do we?" Fang interrupted as I was about to get up to accompany Channing, "Lindsey will help him, you can relax here Selene"

I tried to protest, "that's okay-"

But Channing stupidly turned me down, "Fang is right, rest here Selene I have help" He abruptly left with Lindsey, leaving me alone with this obnoxious man.

I took my seat back as my legs tapped rapidly wanting to get out of this situation, I just hope he doesn't talk to me.

"Nervous enough? Here have some water", Fang offered and I felt like I was sitting in a police enquiry room, with no one but us here, as he was getting ready to bombard me with his questions and I was growing more and more nervous.

"No thanks," I declined him and gazed outside the window forcing my leg calm.

There was silence filled between us and I focused on the piano that was playing a different melody than what was being performed when we entered. His voice disrupted my now calmed body, "so you killed John?"

I was quick to reply, "I did not!" my words came out slow and exerting. My eyes fixated on his as I refused to faze from my true claim.

As if he wanted this exact reaction out of me, he smiled delightedly. His left hand came up and he removed his wristwatch, with a slow neat moment the watch was placed aside on the table.

His dark eyes met mine again with his fingers now interlaced in front of him as he said his next words, "But I have proof against you little one"
