章 122: Turning the switch

*Channing's PoV* 

Channing saw Selene overpower Diana while not hurting her. He wanted to step in and help Selene, but there was a reason he stood back. Channing wanted everyone to see how worthy Selene was. After all, she was an Alpha and a Warchild, just like him. 

While the whole ruckus was going on, Channing's eyes were trained on Selene with all the adoration he carried for her. There was no reason he saw not to go after this girl, who was ready to protect him and stand by his side even if as the Beta, but Channing had seen the rejection in her eyes the very day he had lost his control and made advances on her. He knew she had secrets and goals bigger than his simple life, where he focused mainly on not losing control of his abilities like they had with his previous girlfriend. 

Diana tore through Selene's fabric, and Channing's heart ached to see the wounds that Selene had received on her shoulder.
