11.6% Alpha Princess's Possessive Mate / Chapter 41: The condition

Capítulo 41: The condition

Did he? Was it just a coincidence? Did he respond to my thoughts?

I looked at his reaction that only confirmed my doubts, his smile slowly grew on his face. My brows crinkled, "Can you-"

"BINGO!" He pointed a finger at me and ticked it up like a gun, "correct in the first guess, not bad Princess!"

A chill crawled up my spine, exactly how much had I elaborated to this man through my thoughts. Fang was the last person I would reveal anything to and right now he might be the one who knew way too much. My palms pushed him away stumbling on another branch, "stay out of my head Fang!"

Fang hummed relishing in the setting right now, "I would, but I don't want to"

I don't get his obsession with messing with me. Can't his character be as good as his looks for once! As soon as I thought that I regretted every part of my being.

Fang's eyes went wide for a little while before returning to his charcoal self, "At least you like something about me, rest can be arranged for, little one"

His comment only made me want to run away from here. Only he knew why he was trying to get me to be his, marry him on top of that. I was a betrothed princess, in the next 10 months, I would be getting ready for my marriage and leave this place finally.

There was no way I would want myself to stay back here for any friends or family or anyone for that matter. This kingdom had given me nothing but despair since birth, even a few happy moments in the castle were now overtaken by the days spent in the dungeon. And for that matter, if I wanted to choose my life partner on my own, Fang would be the last person on my list.

"Don't worry, being on the list is a good start", his voice followed close and I jumped up making the branch we were standing on shake. But this time I held my ground and ignoring him, walked to the weaker part of the branch to check for the fruit there.

"It's not there, the fruit is at the top of the tree", Fang pointed his finger upward with the hand he was holding the fruit.

I was quick on my feet and climbed the tree again, and emerged out of the foliage. There were an unexpectedly large amount of leaves on the top making it tough to even look at the footing.

My legs wobbled and sometimes slipped into blank space with no branch below my foot. But my hand swiftly pushed the leaves aside and there was nothing even after sweeping a large area, did Fang trick me? I won't be surprised.

I turned back and was startled watching him stand so close. Was he here all this time?

"Yes, watching your fruitless efforts", He snickered at his own pun and I couldn't help but roll my eyes. He caught my irritated gesture and offered again, "I can bring you the fruit but then you know...."

The incomplete sentence had all the information for me to understand. There was a price to his offer, this situation was still reasonable to ask for the price but remembering the last time just made me blurt out instantly, "No! I am not marrying you Fang"

He bit his lower lips trying to hold in his devilish smirk as if he enjoyed the words that left my mouth, "I wasn't going to ask but good to know it is on your mind"

How was it on my mind? If anything it meant that it was off my mind, but he turned everything in a way to coax his conceited ego. I hated him even before getting to know him and I knew it in my heart that my opinion wasn't wrong about this man.

I sighed, finally giving his offer a chance. There was no harm in listening, agreeing to it can be thought about later, "What do you want?"

Fang cocked his head, satisfied with my decision and threw the fruit he was holding away, towards the area where the other wolves of Waterwoods were patrolling. I didn't understand why initially but then I realized, the fruit had a strong citrus smell different from the tree, enough to alert any werewolf.

It was a mistake to even ask for the price, because if Fang is going to say it then he was obvious to make it so I have to agree. "Why did you do that?" I asked, letting him know that I caught up on his game.

He shrugged insouciantly, "what did I do?"

I stomped up to him raising my finger in anger, "You know your pack would follow up on the scent here and notice my presence"

Fang's eyes were just glowing as time passed and he knew how much I was able to read his obvious actions. His dark eyes travelled from my hazel eyes to my lips and then at my finger, Fang raised his hand and held my finger with his palm. "I would have been seriously offended by this gesture of yours," he bent down and tugging me slightly towards him with my finger and whispered right in of my face, "But since it is you, little one, I love every moment of this insolent act you are putting up"

It was utterly irritating how he was showing he had feelings for me, they were all hideous. He is just another leech who wants to be associated with the crown.

I pulled my hand out of his grip, "I don't need your help" saying this, I turned around.

"Are you sure you don't want to know my price? I will be reasonable this time, don't worry little one", His nonchalant words only had an underlying warning of the patrolling wolves that might be headed this way because of the fruit that rolled towards their side.

I still had time but not enough to flee after I had searched for my tasks requirement, I turned around finally understanding how the situation in split-second had turned against me, "What is the condition?"


Capítulo 42: Red-handed

A smile of satisfaction plastered Fang's face on my question. That is all he wanted, for me to fall into his trap but the fact was I had fallen into his trap the moment I decided to just hear out the condition. I had been cornered like this twice now and there was no way I would repeat the same mistake next time, but my heart knew that Fang would make that happen any way possible.

"What's the rush, little one? Have some rest, you had a bad fall a while back", Fang said, making himself comfortable on a branch with his hands behind his head. He spoke as if I was the one who had deliberately let myself fall and he had nothing to do with it.

"And whose fault was that?" I was annoyed by the way he had put my incident of tumbling down the tree like a sack of grains as my mistake and not his wrongdoing.

Fang raised his eyebrows, "weren't you the one who requested me to let go of you?"

"Ya, but you could have been kind enough to put me down on any adjacent branch of the tree!" My eyes narrowed at him. This man would have driven anyone to their wit's end, but I wasn't one of them. Breaking me was not that easy and still, he had stepped on every part of my nerves with his actions previously.

Fang chuckled at my words as if my lips had cracked a joke, "did you ask me to be kind, princess? Interesting choice of a word doesn't go with me though"

My jaw clenched at his reply, "I would be surprised if that were to happen." Fang was truly a sly man who took what he wanted and I had got that experience first hand once back at court and I had a feeling this is going to be the second time. How funny that he actually admitted he was not a 'kind' person.

I suddenly realised he was taking things in circles, so I was to forget that he had offered help at some price which I did not know yet. The time was running out and my eyes checked in the direction where Fang had thrown the half-eaten fruit. There was no one here yet but I could hear the dry leaves crunch, like footsteps heading towards us.

Fang hummed at my reply and closed his eyes as if ready to sleep comfortably while I was stressing about the fact that there might be someone coming this way.

The fruit was sure to catch any patrolling wolf's attention as it had a different scene compared to the tree's. The moment they come around this area, their sharp noses would give away my location. The scent of an unknown wolf in their territory was sure to alert them, did Fang planned on ruining my task this way?

"What do you want, Fang?" I asked desperately again except trying not to sound like it. But he would understand my impatience as he would read my mind like an annoying spy.

Fang was busy with his leisure nap and I couldn't help but scowl and break a twig to throw at him. The stupid twig floated with the wind away from him and my head fumed, "I am leaving, keep your little fruit with yourself"

I did not care about the task now, honestly, I was out of mind with only Fang and his irritating behaviour eating at my brain cells. My feet did their move as I descended a branch or two, but my body was pulled back inhumanly with Fang's hand holding my entire weight by the back of my shirt that crumbled in his fingers.

"Where do you think you are going?" His voice came out cold, contradicting the look on his face. In an instant, I was against the gigantic tree trunk balancing myself between his forearms that blocked both my sides, "In my land, I decide who goes where and who does what, you certainly don't have the permission to leave yet. And don't you want to finish the task? About a while ago you were desperate to become the Beta of Winterwells"

My breath was caught in my throat, there was enough closeness for one day with this man not to mention he had put it intimately last time. Fang was casual with his actions so much that looked like he was used to pinning girls or holding them closer intimately, but I was not at all comfortable in that setting.

"Move away from me Fang", my hand pressed against his broad, toned chest that was leaning closer and closer. It reminded me of how close his lips were to mine when this similar situation took place at the court, he wasn't as close but the possibility was higher.

Fang eyed my hand that resisted him and then raised his ink-black eyes to look into mine. "You forget little one," his frame pushed closer to me effortlessly despite my full strength resistance, "did I not tell you that I decide what happens here, you cannot tell me what to do princess"

The way he emphasised on Princess was telling me that he wasn't scared of the authorities. I gulped trying to push him away yet that only brought a wicked smile to his face, but he got away giving me enough space. Not too far though so he could catch me if I were to escape again.

My ears registered rustling noise below and I knew that someone was here, the tree's strong scent had made me not notice the presence.

"Fang, Are you planning to keep me here and not let me finish my task on time?" My voice came out in a little disbelieving whisper so the person from Waterwoods was not to notice me.

Fang had his eyes fixed below waiting for someone to come climbing the tree while replying, "No darling, I will support my partner in her every dream. No matter how useless it is"

Only he could call it useless as he was already an Alpha and his actions were totally opposite of what he just said, it looked like he was waiting for someone to climb the tree and catch me red-handed.
