Alpha Princess's Possessive Mate

I pulled in a sharp breath on hearing Jack's question. Channing came forward to say, "She was attacked as well. Selene lost a lot of blood." The expressions on Jack's face changed momentarily, as if he was surprised. 

"But Selene wasn't patrolling tonight," Jack said while his gaze fixed around my neck, "and I don't see the wound."

Channing came forward to stand in between me and Jack. He titled his head and asked casually, "How do you know that?" Channing did not hold back with his question and already let Jack know that there were eyes on him. 

There was instant nervous laughter from Jack, "I just did not understand why she is sitting if she lost so much blood."

"Chief Jack," Channing sugar coated his name, and it almost had me widen my eyes. If Channing spoke it out suddenly right now, then we won't be able to find out what went around with his ex Ellie, who was Zelda and now out of the prison. "Selene had a huge scratch on her leg," Channing said with a knowing smile. 

Jack's smile flattered on his lips, "Oh, okay. I just asked because I did not see any blood on her." 

Dandeline clicked her tongue and quickly got out of the ambulance. She gracefully made her way to Jack after moving Channing aside and this had Channing surprised. Dandeline looked at Jack and instantly placed her three fingers over the side of his forehead, "Beta Selene was caught up in the attack and the paramedics took care of her wound just like others. She now she needs to replenish blood." Dandeline let go of her three fingers and slid her hand over Jack's face, "You look sharp in your suit."

Jack gulped at her sudden closeness, as I knew what he had seen - Dandeline approach and a gap in between his memory where Dandeline now complimented him. 

"Um, thank you," Jack received the compliment as his body reflexed to go back from Dandeline's touch. 

Dandeline gave him a tight smile as she pulled her hand back to her side with a little disgust settling in the pit of her stomach, "You are most welcome." Saying that, Dandeline came back to stand by my side. 

Jack blinked thrice, and his eyes looked around, confused. If was one of the preparators in this attack, his memory about my injury was sure tampered. 

"There are other places to check," Channing broke Jack from his daze and Jack suddenly looked a little alerted. Channing placed his hand on his shoulder and informed with a smile, "The Alpha is here. I can take care of things here while you look after other scenes of crime." Channing was being more domineering than before, and I knew why it was. His prime suspect was Jack, and we simply needed proof in our hand to get him out of the way. 

"S-Sure Alpha Channing," Jack said as he ran away from us. There was panic in his eyes, and I could help but notice every little action he did that portrayed fear of being found out. 

Channing waited for the Chief of police to leave a long distance before he came to my side. 

Dandeline moved aside so Channing could talk to me, "What was that?" 

"What was what?" I asked. 

Channing looked at Dandeline with crossed eyes and back at me. I followed his gaze to where Dandeline stood passively there, knowing that if I wanted her to make Channing forget, I just had to give one sign. But I was tired of keeping Channing out of things and called him closer so I could whisper it to him, "Dandeline is a witch."

"What!" Channing ridiculed before looking at her and then me and when I nodded, he knew I was serious. "I thought she had a wolf."

"You never saw it Channing," I rolled my eyes, "And for that matter, she does have a wolf." 

Channing's gaze on Dandeline was careful, "That is not possible, a witch's power always gets suppressed in a hybrid." It was the truth in a hybrid; the supernatural part always dominates the witch. They cannot practise witchcraft, as the magic doesn't favour them. It was like we were the dark beings for the magic to course through us. They did not call us night creatures for no reason. 

But with Dandeline, it was not the case. "She is a pure one," I replied to Channing. 

"So she doesn't have a wolf, and she is a part of the village pack," Channing raised his eyebrows as now I was supposed to get Dandeline out of the pack as only werewolves can be a part of the pack, witches had their covens. 

"Speaking about that," I turned to Dandeline and spoke in a low voice, "Send a bird behind the police van and keep an eye out of any odd thing they find which can be used as a piece of evidence." Dandeline nodded and opened her palm. With her other hand, she circled her fingers over her open palm and a shining, hollow bird appeared. Dandeline tapped its forehead, and the shine turned to a dark green colour and the next moment, the bird flew away. 

Channing looked at it awestruck, "That was beautiful." 

Dandeline smiled and bowed, "Thank you." My eyes sheepishly moved between them and the way Dandeline was yet again affected by Channing. 

"That is how she has a wolf," I broke the trance that Channing was fixed in trying to find the bird in the bark of the night. His attention first shifted to Dandeline and then to me. "Dandeline can make a wolf that looks like a real one, but she can't help the shininess of it," I gave a look at Dandeline and she gulped hard. 

"I will work on it," came the small whisper from Dandeline as she almost bowed again. 

Channing chuckled out of nowhere, "She is quite submissive to you." 

"She is like a best friend to me," I said, and Dandeline looked at me with almost watery eyes.. "Hey, don't do that," I warned her because it was always around me that a different version of her came out and rather she was a strangely ruthless person.
