"Aren't you attracted to me because I am your soulmate?" I asked, ridiculed by his previous answer. "Why are you so obsessed with making me yours?"

"Because You are perfect for me," Fang said without any hesitation. How did he always manage to give such strong answers when the future had many possibilities and most of them led to negative outcomes? I can't possibly seal the bond with him with the way we were right now, but the fact that he wasn't forcing me and it made me wonder was he really serious about making me his without the mate bond?

After all, Fang was being patient for me to come around. Even though he was getting his way around, he still was making me slowly comfortable with him. Fang sighed and touched his temple to the back of my head before saying, "I have been wandering around a lot. I think you are my impasse."

"That doesn't make any sense," I replied in a whisper.

There might be so much going in his life and maybe that is why he finally wanted to settle. But that could also mean he had been with enough girls and did not want to go wandering around anymore. For a handsome face like his, he still had a long time for the need to settle. There were many werewolves who lost their soulmates before the age of 18, and many who lost them after that.

Some like me or Channing, who did not like their soulmate and Fang, had such many options still open. No girl would say no to that handsome face or a man who was an Alpha along with being a minister in the king's court.

It truly did not make any sense as to why I was his absolute.

Fang's other hand on which I had rested my head folded so he could hug me. He held me in his arms gently, "if it made any sense I would I have left it behind a long time ago. I don't know the reason why I like you and I don't want to find it because I feel the day I find it there would be no meaning left in falling for you."

I almost chuckled at his words. He spoke as if he had tried to find many girls before who would be his last stop, but it seems his train left them all behind.

"What happens when you find the reasons?" I asked incredulously.

From the way he had put it, it sounded like if there had been a reason for his obsession with me, he would have left me back a long time ago. So what would really happen when found some reason, and it was something very stupid and his obsession ended?

As much as I wanted him to find a reason and put me behind him somewhere in my heart, I felt this new feeling. This heart-clenching sense of not wanting that day to come.

Fang snuggled me closer and spoke in a tired voice, "let me think about it when that time comes. Right now I want to be close to my soulmate and get myself a nice nap before Channing disturbs us here for his birthday." Fang hugged me tightly with his right hand over my chest, holding my shoulder and this left tugging at my waist.

The feeling was so warm that all my resistance faded away. I rather wanted to stay here in his embrace. Fang had strong arms but understanding my resistance drop, he was gentle with me. Like I was some paper doll.

He was here for Channing's birthday, but now I did not want Channing to come.

It was funny how I was with a man that I despise so much and yet finding his hold to be so soothing. There were no feelings towards Fang that had awoken inside me. Rather, I had wanted someone to hold me like this in the past 14 years when I had curled up on the dungeon ground with a silver chain around my leg so I could not even turn into my wolf and let the fur provide the warmth in the cold night.

The coldness in the atmosphere was increasing in Adalolpha as the monsoon clouds were making their way here.

My body had started to feel light and just to not embarrass myself in Fang's hold, I asked him, "did you bring a cake or a gift for Channing?"

"I Brought a cake. It is in the fridge," Fang replied, and I remembered seeing the fridge lights when he had intruded inside my house. Seriously, this man roamed around like this was his house. "And the gift," Fang drawled on his words thinking about something and I truly wouldn't be a surprise if he said that he had not brought a gift, "well whatever, I will ask him what he wants and then give it to him tomorrow."

I rolled my eyes. How so lovely it was. Even I had thought too much before going out in the evening to buy Channing a watch.

I had a very restrained budget as my mother had cut out on my allowance, so I had to get something that would leave me with some money in my pocket for the rest of the month before my pay as the Beta of Winterwells would be handed to me. It was so good that I at least got paid as the Beta for Winterwells.

"It is rude to come to someone's birthday without a gift, Fang," I jaded knowing my words would mean nothing to this man. What did he have to bother, he was rich and I bet he could buy Channing the most expensive automobile if asked.

Fang clicked his tongue, "shut up little one, or I will start shouting about your secrets to everyone."

Here he goes, threatening me again. Can he really not try to be nice?

And here I was really trying to put him on the good side while he himself jumped back to the bad side. This was the reason why I found it tough to handle his energies. Stupid Fang, I cursed in my mind, hoping he would hear my thoughts now. Since he can rather read the memories, I just hope he did have the ability to shut it or there would be so much chattering he would hear and half of it would be me cursing him.

There was so much I did not know about Fang and so many mysteries that he had now opened for me.

Those mysteries were only going to pull me in, trying to find out more about those things and, in turn, get me stuck back here in Adalolpha. I hoped I did not fall in solving any mysteries of the Warchilds or about Fang because I wanted to leave this kingdom and hope someone else found answers to those mysteries.

In the next few minutes, I did not even understand how much I ranted about Fang in my head before my eyes became heavy and I fell asleep in his arms, a place that was surprisingly comfortable for me to make me fall asleep.
