*Fang’s PoV*

Fang dragged Selene by her elbow before she could think of any other logical explanation for not going with him. 

“Fang, wait!” Selene tried pulling her hand out of his hold but Fang was stronger and right now he was pissed off. Extremely pissed about the fact that it was none other than his dear friend Channing, who had made a move on his soulmate. Fang somewhere had read Channing’s mind about Selene and, with the way Channing had already lost his control around Selene once, Fang had specifically warned Channing to stay away from his soulmate. 

Nevertheless, it did go downhill. Fang knew it wasn’t Selene’s fault that Channing felt that way towards her, but it was frustrating to read it in Selene’s mind first. 

Fang dragged Selene into the alley just adjacent to the tavern where Hailey had gone to get a VIP room. He pulled her deeper into the alley when Selene jerked her hand out of his hold, “Fang! stop it!” 

He did not take that well. Why would he? After seeing how he was always so far away from his soulmate and she would be returning to Channing again. Fang knew how Selene was developing feelings for Channing once upon a time and it was just not acceptable to Fang even now. Fang walked ahead and pinned his hands on either side of Selene, “Should I stop? How hard was it for you to say the same thing to Channing than letting him kiss you?” His teeth gritted as his black eyes turned into a shiny colour of yellow.

“It was uncalled for,” Selene spoke as she tried pushing Fang away from her. But had she ever won against him in strength, anyway? 

“Are you really that slow, Selene,” Fang accused her as brings his right hand to cup her lower face with assertively. He wanted this girl, every part of her body and for Selene to have handled the matters with Channing so calmly was like keeping it open for another such attempt. The thought was frustrating for Fang, “or you actually wanted it-“

“ENOUGH!” Selene snapped at him.

This behaviour of Fang was totally not acceptable. He was an Alpha and he had his fierce ways of dealing with things but Selene was an Alpha as well and being dominated was something no Alpha took well. It was a different thing for the love of your family and different when it came to other personal life. She held Fang’s wrist and pulled his hand away from her face. Fang did not budge until he realised that any more would hurt Selene. He let go of her face but his mind was in a state of havoc. 

Selene breathed heavily before a loud sound of slap resounded through the alley. The way he had always treated her was totally not acceptable, “I have no reason to give any explanation to you.” 

Fang’s cheek turned red, with the sting of the slap still fresh on his skin. It did not hurt as much. But instead of snapping him out of his insanity, his possessiveness went tenfold higher. There was no way he was letting Selene go back to Channing again after this. Never!

Selene took her chance and turned to exit from there, find Hailey, and leave. She hoped at least after the slap, Fang would not pull any more stunt. That he would come to his senses and let her be. At least not handle things the way he was doing right now.

However, Fang was not someone used to this

He had always got what he wanted and how he wanted. There was not a single woman in his life who he had not brought under his spell.

But he wanted to give Selene her free will on this matter and yet that thought was buried deep somewhere in his brain right now. How dare the girl walk away from him? She was his and only his!

His muscular arm reached out to grab hold of Selene from behind. Fang wrapped his arm around her waist and jerked her back to him before pushing her against the wall, “Why do you do this to me, Selene? You make me go so crazy for you!” He was angry, but there was so much that surfaced inside him, having her this close and trapped. Lust was something that came as a package parcel in an Alpha and when it came to Fang, it was the best way to let out his steam.

But it wasn’t just Fang who felt it. Even Selene gulped as she locked eyes with him. A little docility which held back her anger.

It wasn’t their fault. Both of their wolves were in heat because of the marking and the attraction just multiplied when they came so close. 

Selene stretched her eyes upwards in her eyes socket to look at Fang with rage, a fury she had to force through her heating desires. But that sight was rather a turn on for Fang. He had always been dominating and his desires always overflowed when Selene opposed him even though her body said otherwise and her mind stopped functioning around him. He liked the way he had to look down at her while she was cornered between the wall and his broad frame.

“Let go!” Selene gritted her teeth, almost hissing at Fang, but this time, he held her hands and pushed them above her head. 

Selene had her own build, but in front of Fang, she looked so tiny and helpless. 

“I am not letting you go till you get the fact that you only belong to me,” Fang whispered in a dangerous tone. His eyes went back to the black colour and Selene could swear she saw the pits of hell in there. It should have been scary for her sake, but her wolf was acting childish anymore. 

She was tired of this aggressiveness and the way her body reacted around him. The way his roughness was igniting flames in the pit of her stomach. 

It was getting tougher and tougher for her to keep control over her desires around Fang. She was fond of his dominance but she definitely did not like the way Fang took charge of them. For a split second, Selene had thought about running away from this kingdom or just choosing Fang and helping him with his revenge on her parents. It wasn’t like she considered them a good family anymore. However, there were other factors that relied on her and she had chosen otherwise. 

Fang was definitely on her mind but she did not want an obnoxious man like him. 

“Let go, Fang,” Selene spoke after a significant amount of struggle. She had stopped moving now, trying to free herself from his hold. “When will you understand? I can’t be with you AND neither with Channing.”

For a moment, when Fang had considered mercy, the name of his close friend from her mouth just ignited his fire more.

He was jealous and he wanted to stake his claim on his soulmate. No one was allowed anywhere near her. Fang looked down at Selene’s lips. The very lips which Channing had kissed. How dare he! She belonged only to Fang! Every single part of her being was his! 

Fang did not see how Selene had been trying to calm him down. He missed out on how she wasn’t resisting him anymore and giving him space to calm down and think. He just wanted her now and here. Without another thought, Fang dived into a rough kiss. He was forceful with his movement as he let his tongue slide into her mouth, playing with her tongue. He closed in the distance between their bodies as he bit into her lower lip, getting a whimper from her.

There was not a minute that Fang gave to Selene so she could breathe. His teeth nipped and bit on her luscious lips and Fang was lost in savouring the taste that his soulmate offered to him. 

It was a sweet feeling, even though he was pressing against her aggressively and leading the kiss where she did not even have the time to catch up. 

Selene felt her resistance crumble in his hold as she tried to free her wrists from his hands. Her arms were stretched up and held tightly by Fang, while her face had nowhere to move but to welcome Fang and the wild desires he poured onto her. Selene moved her wrists while her fingers curled into a fist, but her strength was falling short not just in front of Fang’s strength but also the devil’s charm he brought with him right now. 

For a second, when he pulled back, Selene pulled a sharp breath, but before she could speak resistance, Fang was back with it. 

His lips came into contact with her swollen lips, which had just handled the abuse from Fang’s aggressive kisses. 

What started rough turned slow and agonising for Selene. This time, Fang just let his tongue lick the sensitive part of her lips and Selene involuntarily closed her eyes. She was no different to Fang and his charm. No matter how much he kept a respectful distance from her, he surely was good at the art of enticing a woman’s heart. 

A while back, Selene had taken a step back so Fang could bring his head around some logic but this was not what she wanted things to lead to. 

It was a slow tingling sensation that started on Selene’s skin as Fang took his distance to look at her face. She was a mess in his arms when he held her wrists together with his one hand while the other came down to caress her lips with his thumb. Selene did not dare open her eyes to see the satisfaction in Fang’s eyes. This was the first time she had unknowingly accepted him and Fang was no fool to not know that. 

Selene’s chest heaved as she slowly opened her eyes. She could see the black shirt which Fang wore and his taut chest muscles peeking out of the buttons he had left open. 

Her eyes slowly travelled up to see Fang’s throat. His Adam’s apple bobbed up and down as he swallowed looking at her travelling gaze. 

It was never supposed to head this way but things had gone such that Fang could not stop and Selene, who had taken a step back from her anger, felt him for the first time in a way that she wasn’t supposed to feel him. It was not submission, but a brief acceptance of the man who chased after her very soul. 

Upon seeing her mess of mind right now, Fang held her chin to make her look up at him as he said in a delightful tone while pulling her chin downwards, “here, part you lips for me, little one.”
