Fang's body froze at my words with a 'seriously' look. Any other time, he would have chewed my nerves, but right now I was putting myself in threat here, washing away all his efforts.

How desperate he was to save me and I loved to put that on the tip of a sword.

Sylvie was outraged at how I said Fang would make me his mate and her hand holding the knife came back to my throat, the tip piercing my skin, "Don't show you are close to Fang by calling him by his name. I have smelled you on him before so many times and it boils my blood every time to think he had another woman by his side. I knew you the moment I saw you, that Fang is spending his time with you when outside the Village. Fang only has one mate, and that is me!"

So that was what had ticked her. I could tell Sylvie must have done something wrong to other women who had been close to Fang. She was mad about him while he did not care. But this was enough from her. I wasn't going to just stand here as some hostage while Fang tried to save me.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, "look, Sylvie, I don't know how much you love Fang, but it's better for you to know that Fang doesn't like you"

"Liar!" Sylvie quickly retorted, and Fang sprinted towards us before Sylvie could do anything stupid. "I told you not to call him by his name!" She screamed. Her hand moved quickly to slit my throat, and I held it, pushing it ahead so she hit against my back and pulled her over my shoulder to slam her down. Sylvie tried to fight, but there was no trick or strength she had as compared to me.

Fang stopped where he was and crossed his hands over his taut muscles to watch the show that I was putting up.

I turned her around, twisting her hand, grabbing the knife, and throwing it far away from her reach. But this girl kept trying to turn around despite her pain, as if she was ready to dislocate her shoulder. I tsked and sneered, "If you have your grudges against Fang, keep it to him. Don't you dare cross my path again." But she tried to hit me with her leg from the back, and it aggravated my wolf. Her body was wiggling too much, like she did not care about her shoulder at all, just waiting to hit me.

"Fang belongs to only me!" Sylvie grunted as the pain in her shoulder shot up.

I did not care if she wanted Fang or not, but Sylvie had crossed the threshold of my anger, trying to kick me. Well, if she really wanted something dislocated, then I had a better body part in my mind. I turned around and grabbed her ankle, twisting it with a smooth crack which had the tent resound with her screams.

"Fang! Tell this bitch to get off me!" Sylvie shouted, trying to get Fang to help her, but he simply smiled and turned his back to us, walking back to where Liam was in a shivering state. With her upper body free, Sylvie turned and dug her nails in my arm, making me whimper. She was not stopping like this, so I did a few more arrangements in her limbs and Sylvie was left in sweat and tears as her consciousness began to fade because of the pain of all her dislocated limbs.

My rage had reached its peak and my wolf was struggling to break free and pour its anger out. It took every bit of my sanity to hold it back. Every time I was around Fang, something or the other happened that almost made me lose control.

I got up to see Fang's proud smirk. My finger pointed at him in anger, "I will never be your Fang. I will have the marriage that you set for me and request my in-laws to parcel my head to you if they kill me, so you can keep that as a display on the top of your little tent" My rage always erupted around Fang and I always said something to get away from him. Every time I tried to control my tongue, it just went spiralling around spouting things he would hate.

Fang, who was standing right in front of Liam, held the man's neck. Liam was begging and shivering to be let go, but Fang twisted Liam's neck, using his long nails in such a way his head ripped off and Liam's body fell with a thump to the ground.

Fang did not have to say any words to tell that this was the consequence of me trying to take myself away from him. It was a battle between us two Alphas and he was making sure his point was clear.

My breath shuddered at the sight of Liam's head in Fang's hand that was still dripping blood from its neck and eyes that were rolled back, tears oozing out of the lifeless face. "How could you do that, he was innocent" I covered my mouth in disbelief. I had never seen people beheaded before, but this was barbaric. Fang did that just to show the repercussions of me going away from him, or anyone even laying an eye on me.

My stomach churned at the thought of an innocent life being lost because Sylvie drugged the man and I aggravated Fang.

"Make sure you remember this, Selene!" Fang glared, wiping his blood-stained hands on a clean white towel from a nearby table. The hands he used to behead an innocent young omega, in the name of my obsession!

The dark atmosphere that had built up crept through my spine, keeping me frozen in my place, but my heart was racing so fast I could hear it thudding in my head. My legs trembled as they were aching to run out of here, away from this inhumane creature.

He approached me as his footsteps resonated in the dead silence of the tent, and I couldn't get myself to move back, waiting frozen in my place for the predator to catch his prey. Stepping closer, he lifted up my chin asking again, "do you still choose otherwise Princess?"

He never referred to me as Princess before and that showed so much distance and irk in his voice.

I gulped, knowing Fang would understand very well what was on my mind. All my lies would be useless in front of how well he knew every nook and cranny of my brain.

Mustering all the strength inside me, I whispered, diverting my eyes, answering exactly what he did not want to hear right now, "Yes!" After seeing what had just happened, my last shard of hope that I might stay back here was broken.

This was my fate, whether married or not, whether in the castle or not; I was born to be in shackles, where my wishes held no value.

A vicious smirk played on Fang's face as he lifted me by my collar, while I tip-toed, barely able to find the ground, trying to match his towering height. "I don't like it when someone touches what is mine," he leaned closer, his tall stature hovering over me just inches from my face and his infuriated breath crawling on my soft skin, "and you better know that your entirety belongs to only me, little princess!"

My Alpha blood no longer wanted to hold against him. I wanted nothing to ever happen because I wanted to get away from him.

I had never expected to see it in person to what lengths Fang would go to, because I never thought he would be this brutal. The Alpha wolf in me wanted to clash with his dominance, but my human heart was fragile enough to never do something that would lead to a loss of life.

Fang let me down and clicked his fingers twice to have Bane immediately come inside. "Clean that thing," He said while pointing towards Liam and Bane was quick to do so. Fang then went to Sylvie, fixing the wear and tear I had bestowed on her, and tapped her cheek, "Wake up, come on, wake up. Enough of your drama." Sylvie's eyes opened slowly, and she woke up with a groan.

Fang grabbed her by the collar of her dress and dragged her behind him while Sylvie's feet rubbed against the ground to stand up. "A-Alpha w-what are you doing?"

Through the whole commotion, I just stood there watching Fang manhandle her. He was furious. And only Goddess Luna knew what was in store for me. Fang had never hurt me before, but looking at the way he was treating Sylvie made my heart sink in my chest.

Fang lifted Sylvie in the air by her collar, and she struggled in front of his height. "If I see your ugly face ever again in Waterwoods, I will forget whose daughter you are." He threw her out of his tent and Bane was quick to pull Sylvie away from there while she kept struggling and trying to come back.

"No, I was wrong Alpha, please don't keep me away from you!" Her voice was fading in the distance as she was taken away, "I love you, Fang, please I will do anything"

But Fang did not pay any heed to her words and turned to me. His eyes had gone golden and his wolf was ready to break free. Definitely his rage was coming for me, as I had once again said something wrong to bring his beast out. He had warned me last time not to do so, as I did not know how to control him if he went loose.
