The shift in Ellie had Fang stop his laugh and put on his guards. Fang could see Ellie's craziness seeping and he waited for her to start acting psycho any moment now because he himself was crazier and knew how it went.

"You are really going to trust some snitch over your soulmate, Channing?" Ellie said as she faked her pitiful expressions.

Channing gritted his teeth, watching Ellie change her colour like a chameleon. "You better go back with whoever your sister is for the sake of my love I won't put your case in the village trials." He was hurt, and that was showing on Channing's face now. Ellie felt his pain as they had marked, and she knew only a few nudges before Channing chose her over the entire world.

Ellie almost cried her fake tears as she went to forcefully take Channing's hand in hers. "I promise you Akame was lying I love you."

"Ellie," Channing pulled his hand out of her hold, but it only resulted in her snuggling close to him. Channing sighed "I can feel what you feel. If your emotions are fake and how you came here with your bloodlust rising against someone."

Ellie was no patient women and being dejected by Channing was not taken lightly by her.

"Are you really going to forget all the good times we spent together, Channing?" Ellie asked as she tiptoed so she could whisper in Channing's ears, "Or did you start having feelings towards my friend now... Just because she is your type."

The next moment, Ellie was jerked away from Channing as Fang pushed her to the other side. Channing was hurting very badly right now. Fang decided not to let things proceed as they were going, as he very well knew how hard Channing's emotions backfire on him in excruciating times like these. "Prepare to evoke the mark, Channing. I will hold her here."

Hearing this little exchange of words, Ellie turned into her wolf. The colour of her fur coat had changed significantly in recent months due to Channing's Blood Noesis with a dark chestnut now defining half of her wolf.

"I won't let him evoke the mark," Ellie telecommunicated, "If Channing is going to leave my side, then let him suffer with me."

Fang snickered at her words, "How petty are you, Ellie. Now be a good girl and come here."

Fang raised his hand and signalled with his fingers to Ellie in a come hither motion, but Ellie was ready to run. "You are pretty handsome Fang, maybe I will take your offer some other time. I will be leaving now." Saying this, Ellie sped into the forest and Fang was quick to turn into his wolf and chase after Ellie. He couldn't believe he had not checked on her the first time and went through her thoughts.

It took a certain condition for Fang to go through peoples head and that would be to touch them and then look into their eyes while asking the question he needed his answers for.

But Ellie had blocked his ability this time with her ability, which Fang was not aware of and also needed to touch the person who she wanted to use it on.

Not a long distance away from there, Channing had heartbrokenly started to draw the symbol that looked like a dried tree inside a giant moon on the ground. Fang was quick to catch up to Ellie, and she used the Bloodlust that was brooding over head to attack Fang. A fight broke between them as Fang pushed her against a tree trunk while Ellie dug her claws into Fang's sides.

When Fang's hold loosened on her because of the pain of injuries, Ellie slipped away, heading towards the open ground of Winterwells so people could see Fang having trespassed here.

But that did not go as she had planned. Fang had already caught up to her and this time, in one bite, he held Ellie's neck, digging his canines, and smashed her against the ground. "What's the rush honey?" He asked, standing above Ellie's wincing wolf. Fang wanted to inflict more damage on her and torture her till her soul screamed for him to stop, but he knew the mark linked her to Channing, and it would make him suffer as well. "Be a good girl or I will drag you back."

"I won't let you evoke the mark," screamed Ellie, trying to run away from his hold, but Fang bit into her hind limb, making her stagger.

"You should have listened when I asked you nicely," spoke Fang, carrying pity for this girl. He did not like to repeat, and he was no fool to fall for Ellie's emotional dramas if she tried one. He held her hind limb, digging his canines as he dragged her by the ground till her skin started to peel against the dirt and the small stone that pierced into her muscles.

Ellie's wolf whimpered, "Let me go... Please, I promise I will walk back."

Fang stopped walking and telecommunicated, "are you being truthful?"

Ellie was panting on the ground with her face that was pain ridden. "I promise to walk back and I also won't put resistance against Channing when he evokes the mark." She felt it would be better any day than being dragged like a dead animal.

Of course, Ellie planned on fooling Fang and running away. Her wolf looked at him pleadingly, where Fang let go of her hind leg and she was about to get up when Fang dug his canines into her again. "On second thought," he said internally loving the ray of hope that he had seen in the girl's eyes, "I find dragging people like you to be more fun. If you would turn into a human, that would be easier for me."

"I will mince you!" Ellie telecommunicated with a growl, and Fang loved the reaction. A kind of sadist he was.

Just when Fang was dragging her away again, another wolf came there to Ellie's rescue, crashing against Fang, throwing him away from Ellie. On seeing the new wolf who had entered here, Ellie got up, almost staggering as her hind leg had deep wounds. "Look who came to dig their own grave," Ellie said as she eyed Akame's silver wolf.
