Bg music recomndation: Play with Fire by Sam Tinnesz

My eyes searched for him in the darkness. This man was always dressed in black, like soone had died. Fang's hands were gently pressing against the wall, and he let go. "Are you okay?" He asked, in his casual tone. Surprisingly, he had kept a distance from or he sohow always finds a reason to pin and get close.
His question could have had many anings. Fang might have read through my mind how I was injured, but the first thing that crossed my head was what happened a few minutes back in my room when Channing was present. "Y-Ya, about what?" I wasn't thinking straight in Fang's presence for so reason.
My eyes went to check behind him where the village was. We were standing on the deck of my house, which was clearly visible from the village.
Though both of us were wearing black, Fang out of habit and as a disguise, was he not scared? Even though I lived in a rather remote area, this was still Winterwells, and Fang was the Alpha of Waterwoods. He was trespassing this confidently, as if there was no worry. Winterwells had so unguarded borders and though I wanted to end the feud between both the villages, if I beca the Beta, I would make it strict only for Fang to never enter here!
His shoe made a tapping sound as he stepped closer dauntingly. The way his eyes looked at , I already knew he went through my brains and saw what conspired here. "What happened between you two?"
My heart hitched hearing his cold, deep voice. Even in the darkness, I could see his black eyes darken.
"Between who?" I asked, trying to keep my tone oblivious. There was no need for to explain nor hide. But there was a guilt that surfaced inside . It must have been because we were soulmates that it created this reaction. There was a lot you can go through with your soulmates even if you did not love them, like you can't bring yourself to lie to them.
Fang breathed heavily as if holding sothing inside him back, "between you both. Channing, I saw him leave the house"
What a sly man Fang was. He knew exactly what happened, yet he was asking to say it loud. "If you already read my thoughts, then don't ask." I lashed, getting vexed more at the fact that he found out. My voice ca a little exerting as I said, "Don't read my thoughts like they belong to you. Stop studying my private life. Stay out of my head, Fang"
He tsked. My tone did not sit well with him. He probably wasn't used to such a tone in response to his questions. "Isn't it a simple question Selene, I want to hear the answer from you."
I gazed at him, stepping closer to , and looked between his eyes that held back so much irritation. My na was strange on his lips. He had a habit of calling 'little one.' I had to crane my neck to see him. Fang was taller than Channing. He humd questioningly, raising his eyebrows, and it made gulp. He was being patient and I couldn't bring myself to talk.
What was I even supposed to say? I myself was confused about what had happened. Though It wasn't Fang's business, for that matter.
Upon seeing not respond, his palm ford into a fist and smashed against the wall, away from my face. It had startled. This was the side of Fang that I only had imagined existing, but it wasn't just my imagination now. "I asked, what happened between you two?" His voice growled as he spoke.
I wanted to run from here. Just like Channing was trying to run away a few minutes back. But Fang would catch hold of and sowhere in my heart, I did not want to face that.
My eyes shifted to where his fist was still stuck against the wooden wall. I could sll a faint sll of blood and I looked back at him, concerned. No, I wasn't supposed to be concerned. I was supposed to get out of this situation. Just talk about why he was here. Looking back at where he had punched, I saw the Wooden wall had ford a crack, with a dent that could break with a little more pressure.
"That is my house, Fang!" I knew my tone vexed him, but I still had my voice high. Trying to establish my authority and control over this situation, though it would never work with Fang. "Don't you dare ruin whatever remains of this house."
I wanted this to turn direction, not talk about what happened today with Channing. It still irritated how it had left feeling. So lost in my own feelings, like I did not know why I did what I did. Whatever conspired with Channing was not in my character, even if deep down possibly I liked him. I wouldn't have gone that far. But it happened, and I wasn't feeling right about it.
Fang needed no explanation and with him asking, it openly just irked further. I did not want to say it out loud. Sothing that I myself failed to understand and left with so many wrong emotions and questions. It was frustrating.
Fang's fist, which had punched the wall, opened and ca to rest on the wall beside my face. The fingers of his other hand held my chin, raising my face to look at him. I wasn't exactly angry, just frustrated at what I was feeling, and he saw it in my eyes. His deep voice reverberated through my body, "I know it wasn't your fault, little one, it's always better to clarify things between us, isn't it?"
I saw his smug look return, and it made want to punch him hard in his gut. What was he trying to an with 'between us'? There was nothing between us, just him irritating by putting us as couples. If I could, I would rather throw this man on the other end of the planet.

Author's thought: Realising this is the sa day that started in chapter 33... well not every day will extend this long, it was just too much eventful; I guess. Poor Selene went through so much in one day.
