Alpha Princess’s Possessive Mate - Chapter 193

Fang diligently studied the knife for some more time, bringing it closer. I let him do his study on it, as it was something I believed he would be an expert in. But I would still have to make sure of things later. With the way Channing had acted a while back, I was a little sceptical about everyone else’s support.

It wasn’t a lie that Channing was the first person who had won my trust, but with what happened near the police station, there were cracks in my trust.

When it came to Fang, I never trusted him to begin with, so it wouldn’t be a surprise for me if he ever sneaks behind me and makes me hold another knife in my back. The worst was how he was getting intimate with me. I knew our wolves were in heat because they wanted to complete the mating process, but like hell, I was letting Fang do it. I’d take my chances of trying to kill him if he tried to kiss me next time.

Fang gaze up from the knife, observing me as if he had been reading my thoughts all this time. There was a gentle smirk on his face as he handed me back the dagger.

I looked at it again when suddenly I felt his lips on my forehead.

There was a small bump that had formed there because of the clash with the pole and when Fang kissed, it hurt a little, but then was replaced by a soothing sensation of his lips. My eyes went wide, “What are you doing?” My fingers went up to trace where I felt a small bump on my forehead and where Fang had just kissed.

Fang chuckled as he held my wrist and started walking, dragging me behind him in the direction of the court, “Don’t go try to kill me just yet, little one, there is still a lot to happen between us.”

He faced my way and winked at me, and it just made me feel more embarrassed as the faces around us had turned to us.

“If you want to hide yourself, I am always ready to take you in my embrace,” Fang extended his other arm towards my opposite shoulder and before he could grab it, I slapped his hand away and jerked my wrist out of his hold.

I huffed and walked ahead to get out of the market. After some time, I realised that Fang was still following me, and this time, he had some other dish in his hand.

“Why are you following me? Don’t you have any work to do?” I asked, as I continued to walk without looking at Fang.

Fang hummed, “A lot actually, but I am here to help you.”

I stopped in my track and turned to him. If Fang was here to help, that meant he needed something in return, some price to always be paid. “What do you want?” Fang raised his eyebrows in question at my words before filling his mouth with another bite. “If you want to help, you must need something in return or else why would you be so generous.”

There was a grin on Fang’s lips as his cheeks were still filled with food, “You know me so well, my soulmate.”

I immediately clicked my tongue, but did not bother explaining it to him again, because Fang wasn’t going to understand. If someone heard him say that to me and that person was from the castle, my mother would surely call me back. Worst would be her removing the mark by force and I would suffer consequences. Even Fang might lose his wolf if done by force. Channing had already lost his ability to mark anyone else because he had forcefully removed the mark off from Ellie… or Zelda.

“Tell me fast, what do you want?” I asked. It was better to be aware beforehand, because if I left it for Fang to do the bidding, he would make sure I paid the price.

Fang crinkled his brows and lifted one eyebrow as if thinking of something. One of his hands was still holding the paper plate and the other one traced the line of his jaw, “I want to….” He drawled before bringing his finger forward to poke the small mountain I had on my head because of hitting the pole.

“Oww!” I brought my hand up immediately to cover my forehead. It was sure to turn black and blue in the next few hours.

Fang snickered at me, “I just want to help you and the price to pay is you let me help you.”

He went on walking ahead towards the court and followed him close, “I don’t want your help.” Fang was the last person I would go to for help. There were other people who were better trusted than him and I would rather do things on my own before even thinking of getting his help.

“Trust me, you are going to need it,” Fang said before he threw the paper plate he was eating from into a bin nearby.

“No, I won’t,” I confidently spoke back to him when suddenly there was thunder in the sky and I jumped up, scared. In no time, the clouds poured down, and I quickly opened my umbrella. When I realised Fang did not have one, there was a smug smile which appeared on my face and I started walking in the direction of the court, which was not far from here. But Fang was quick to catch up as he pulled his hoodie up and walked casually beside me. “Are you sure you want to keep getting wet like that?”

Fang chuckled and jerked his arm, and all the water droplets from his long-sleeve scattered in the air. “I am always prepared,” Fang said as he continued to casually walk alongside me. I sighed at myself for even thinking I should be happy for his loss.

I did not speak anything more with him as my thoughts kept drifting back to the funeral which had taken place in the morning.

It was eating at my mind slowly and finding Zelda was starting to increasingly become personal for me. With Elaine’s death, I was feeling uneasy and even though I tried to let things around me distract me, my mind was still revolving there. My hand clenched around the handle of my umbrella till my knuckles turned white. It was very uneasy to handle the feeling that rose in my chest.

Suddenly, I was pushed to the side, and Fang ducked inside my umbrella. His face was drenched with water and irritation, “Give me some space.”

“Didn’t you come prepared?” I asked, totally forgetting my previous train of thought as the vexing Fang once again entered my mind. “I don’t have space in my umbrella for both of us. Stay out,” I tried to push him out, but he adamantly stayed inside.

Fang clicked his tongue, “Raise the umbrella, don’t you understand I am taller than you?”

I looked at him and he was walking with bent knees and ducked under the umbrella. I smirked, “No, you want to stay inside the umbrella, you will stay like this only.”

Fang looked into my eyes as he squinted, “How about I pay you with a kiss?”

“Get out,” I pushed him out of the umbrella, bringing it to my other side. What was he even thinking by doing that constantly?

Fang had not once teased me about the kiss which happened between us, and I was grateful for that, but it did not mean I was going to let him do it again and be so shamelessly suggestive around me.

Fang grabbed the umbrella from my hand and there was a small war of strength between us before he won and raised the umbrella comfortable to his height. “Give it back,” I said as I went to get it back, but it only resulted in him taking it to his side and as my right arm started to get soaked in water, I quickly went inside the umbrella. The dagger which I had been holding in my hand this whole time twisted unconsciously in my hand as I wanted to stab it into this obnoxious man.

We reached the court, and I took my umbrella back from him with a jerk. Fang did not say anything, but the look on his face was quite evident as the wicked smile had not dropped.

He liked troubling me for no reason.

“Is that Minister Fang?” I suddenly heard a girl’s voice, and I turned in the direction of the sound. There were two girls standing with a mesmerised look.

The other one replied, “Oh my god, yes he is!”

“Charming as the rumours say,” the first one spoke.

Fang turned to glare at them and I passively walked past him as if I did not know this man. That would be a huge ruckus having me spotted with him, especially when I remembered the last time Fang had visited court. Girls had swarmed like bees to him.

“Did he look at me?” The second girl asked, not believing her eyes and her fate.

The first girl was quick to react, “I brought my handy cam with me. Let’s get a photo with him.” She dragged the other girl, and I pulled my lips in, trying to hold my smile and only imagine how Fang was going to suffer now. “Minister Fang!” The girl called out.

Before Fang could climb up the stairs with his long legs as fast as he could, his paparazzi had caught up to him. He tried to move ahead, but there were many other girls who only joined in.

“Minister Fang!” The shouts and screams were quite clear and filled around the court.

My eyes met with Fang’s for a brief moment before I smirked at him and waved goodbye. I did not need his help anyway and without his Beta here, unlike last time, his Beta wasn’t here to save him and the girls did not look like they were in the mood to let go of him. The bees and their honeycomb.

Turning around, I started making my way towards the courthouse to find where exactly would I get the evidence.

It was only the second time I had come here, and I seriously did not know a thing here. My eyes went back to where Fang was buried in between the girls, and I clicked my tongue.
