Alpha Princess’s Possessive Mate - Chapter 225

“No way, I am not undressing and neither am I jumping,” I tried to push back but Fang now stood with me at the edge. His hands holding my arms around the shoulders. My breath shivered by the sheer cold which surfaced the environment. It was a water body, after all.

Fang hummed, “So you are okay with going back drenched?”

I shouted immediately, “No! I want to go back just the way I am alive and in one piece.”

I heard a hearty chuckle from Fang right beside my ears. It was intoxicating to stand this close to him with his voice playing in my ears like a melody. A part of me wanted to let go and jump. Just to see how I felt without wasting thoughts on the consequence. However, I wasn’t that part and I wanted to go back to the hotel room. Fang gently pushed me ahead and I screamed out loud, a shriek to be honestly.

“I did not take you to be this lame. I thought you must be daring enough,” Fang said in a mock pity.

I looked down and then analysed my heat. Nope, definitely not ready for this adventure, “It is too dark down there.” There was mist everywhere and since it was in a deep pit, the end was nowhere visible from here. “I don’t want to explore the darkness,” I said. It was the fear of uncertainty in the darkness which always gripped me. Fine, I take back what I had said earlier about my inner child is perfectly fine. My inner child was not ready for uncertainty when I felt like death could be one of the options.

It was finally then when Fang took a step back. “Fine,” he let go of me and I breathed a sigh of relief out, “I will get dressed.” On his words, I turned to him.

Something wasn’t right. Fang would at least do his best to convince me or pull some ace card from his pocket, which he always carried around, as if Goddess Luna placed luck in his pocket every morning. “That’s it?” I asked. To be honest, I was a little disappointed. I did not want to go down there but for sure I would have liked to try. Maybe not today though. I walked away from the stream, now watching Fang as he dressed up, “Is this the lesson you brought me here for?”

Fang looked raised, his eyes from his shirt buttons. He continued to button up while smirking at me, “Yup. Since you don’t wish to do it…”

“Yeah, talk about being forceful,” I replied, “All your talks for just this adrenaline rush,”

Fang hummed as he slipped on his pants, “It is about to rain soon, little one.” When Fang said that, I looked up. There weren’t any grey clouds, but the clouds were moving rapidly in the forward direction, where we had come from. It was extremely windy here. No wonder the clouds were moving so fast. When I looked in the direction from where the clouds were coming our way and I could see the drizzle in the long-distance and the rain clouds full spreading towards us.

“We need to hurry,” I hurried Fang. He was done dressing up before he looked at me with his hands in his pocket, “I was wondering, would we be able to outrun the clouds as we are now?”

That was when the realisation struck. No, we couldn’t!

“Maybe you could turn back to your wolf, you are quite fast,” I tried to request him. He had already dressed up, but I just did not want to get wet now. Getting all soggy clothes and going back to Greenland was a big, big no.

Fang shrugged, “I just put my clothes on. If you wish to go back that way, maybe you can help remove my clothes.”

I glared at him, crossing my arms over my chest, “Never!”

Sure! came the voice in my mind. It was still messing around, even in this panicked state. The thoughts really made me question what kind of person I was? Because my thoughts were sure going wild. The wild I never thought I would be.

“Then we wait here and enjoy the rains,” Fang responded as he turned in the direction where the rain was coming from.

I turned to check how far it was and we truly did not have time. My jaw clenched as I closed my eyes and not a second later, the rain touched us. Great! This was all that was remaining. I suddenly felt an arm around my waist and before I could open my eyes, Fang had picked me up in both his arms. “What are you- No, Fang NO! Wait, Ahhhhhhh!”

Fang had run to the edge of the river and before I could even put my hands around him properly, he made the jump.

For the first few seconds, I screamed as my hair, which flew against gravity, clouded my eyes. But then I ran out of breath and took a deep breath. Everything around me just slowing down. It was like the wind had lifted me and a lightness washed over me, along with the ball of nervousness that formed in the pit of my stomach. I turned to look at Fang but before I could catch a glimpse of him, my body was hit with a gush of water.

I breathed out as bubbles formed around my mouth and clouded my vision. My lungs had run out of air as soon as I realised it with all that shock. I started desperately moving my hands and surfaced up.

I engulfed a deep ball of air before panting hard.

My hair had all fallen on my face and I took a dip back into the water before pushing them all back as I surfaced again. I looked around as I floated in one place. I was on the inside of the waterfall. When I looked up, it clearly looked like the water fell away from where I was. I swam a little closer to the waterfall before remembering something – Fang!

“Fang?” I called. When I turned around, there was a small cave. Darkness’s abode.

My breaths became heavy before I hastily swam to another side of the waterfall. In my panicked state, I drank some water and when I came up I had to cough it out. I took long breaths before I turned around and even though the waterfall, that darkness on the other side was evident. However, that wasn’t the case on this side.

“Hey,” I heard Fang’s voice and jumped in shock.

I turned to him and punched his chest with the side of my fist, “Are you trying to give a heart attack leaving me alone in a place like this?” I hoped my punch would just crush through his cushiony muscles and smashed his heart but he knew the way to go back and I did not want to end up alone here with a dead body.

“Don’t deny now, little one,” Fang smirked as he ran his fingers through his black locks, throwing his hair back, “Admit you loved it.”

“Not even a single bit,” I closed my eyes, trying not to get pissed off. Fang clicked his tongue as he started moving forward, away from the waterfall. “Hey! Don’t leave me here,” I shouted as I swam behind him, but the mist was making it tough to see. The rain poured down on this side heavily and it would have killed me with the cold if I wasn’t a werewolf. Fang moved further into the mist and I left the moment behind while trying not to lose him.

There was an odd blue colour on this side which I had seen a while back. Now that I swam closer, I could see many more other colours. To be specific – red, green and yellow.

“What is that?” I asked while swimming towards the light.

“It is bioluminescent algae,” I heard Fang’s voice from the right and I stopped in my track.

“Hey, where the hell are you?” I shouted, swimming towards my right. How inconsiderate of him to bring me here and then not even take care of me. Fang did not respond, making me even more nervous. I moved a little further, “Fang?” My voice was laced with concern… for myself! When there was no response, I stopped where I was. The ground was close to my feet here, though not close enough that I could stand without sinking my head. “Fang,” I called out again, “Oh for Goddess Luna’s sake Fang, answer me!”

I turned around as the silence dawned on me. I felt the water move behind me and I turned to see whether it was Fang, but then something brushed my feet from behind, “Ahh! Fang, don’t mess with me.”

I heard a splash behind me and I turned when I felt two arms wrap around me, “Sorry, it was just nice to see you call out to me desperately.”

“Fang,” I said in a low voice, a relief washing over me and the fact that he was so gentle with his words made me not want to scold him.

He hummed, “yeah, and also to see your soul almost leave your body.”

“Fang!” I screamed as I squirmed out of his hold. The first thing I wanted to do was slap him, but I held back. He was my ticket to go back. After that, I would take all the liberty of slowly torturing him to death. I went away from there and once I found the right footing, I started walking against the water force when Fang held my wrist from behind. I jerked my hand to get rid of his hold.

“Aye, come on,” Fang spoke like a little child, “I am sorry. I already said it.”

“Go keep that sorry in a glass jar dipped in oil and make a pickle out of it for yourself,” I said as I walked away.

Fang chuckled behind me, “Sometimes you speak such smart nonsense.”

“Shut up!” I screamed.

Fang raised his eyebrows and smiled before slowly placing his index on his lips, “Anything for my lady.”

I rolled my eyes, “You don’t talk after you keep a finger on your lips.”

Fang waved his hand, “Let’s just go ahead. Standing in water is so slimy with all the algae under the feet.” He turned me around and pushed me towards the ground.

“Hey, don’t do… tha…t,” my mouth fell slack to the floor as I saw what was past the mist. It was a small clearing filled with followers and… everything was glowing around the flowers.

“Beautiful isn’t it?” Fang asked in his husky voice.

All I could do in response was nod. This wasn’t beautiful.. It was heavenly.
