Alpha Princess's Possessive Mate

I opened the package carefully so nothing falls off of it. The way that waitress had addressed it, I assumed there was more than one set of clothes. I placed it on the cleaner side of the counter and checked through it. The clothes were carefully placed in pairs. 

The first was a warm, body fit, one-piece, which would easily reach my knees. It looked up to my taste, but I didn't think this was the time to flaunt something which I will have to take care of if a fight broke out. With Hailey around, that was a sure certainty. Next was a pair of white joggers and a sleeveless black turtleneck. It was so simple, yet looked so rich. I was surprised Fang actually understood I needed turtle necks so badly because of the mark he left on me. It was things like these that made me always question his bad side. But I should know better that Fang was always going to be Fang. 

I had already decided on my outfit but when I picked it up, there was another one below it - blue jeans shorts, a crop top and netted stocking. My mouth fell slack looking at it. 

What was Fang even thinking, buying me something like that?

I picked it up and just stared at how short these clothes looked in my hand. "What is this set of absurd clothing! I never thought Fang would have this taste," I kept it back in its place. My princess brain was really trying to come around the fact that I might even try something like this one day. I was strictly taught to be careful of my clothing. How could Fang even think about buying something like this, knowing I was a princess, and it did not fit my taste!

I looked at it for a second more before simply wearing what I had chosen before. The clothes were the perfect size for me. It kind of looked as if they were made for me. 

My eyes went back to the rest and I stared hard, thinking maybe I should return this. But then again, it was because of Fang that my money had been soaked right now. "I guess I'll just sell the rest," better get some money before I will have to rely on Fang or Hailey.

The moment I left the restroom, the lady who had bought me the parcel immediately bowed, "Let me guide you to your lounge."

I couldn't help simply nod and follow her. This felt like being back in the castle. As a child, I spent most of my days following maids who had to take me from this place to another either because I wanted to or because I was summoned for some or the other lesson. I did not remember a single time when I wasn't guided around. Even when I had recently gone for the ball there, Rosalia had showed me the way when I very well knew where it was. 

My thoughts were brought back to the present when the waitress opened the door, "Here, also if you wish to order anything call on number 9 on the telephone."

"Okay, thank you," I replied as she left with another bow. I stepped inside and the sight that greeted me was of an immature Alpha, Hailey almost laying on the sofa with her hand supporting her head up and one of her legs in an angle folded in the air. I should get used to this soon, I told myself as I took a seat a little further from her. Fang was not there, so the first thing I did was ask Hailey, "Mind showing me the note we retrieved?"

"Here," Hailey grabbed the crumpled paper from her pocket and threw it at me as she continued to eat the grapes, which were suspended in the air above her mouth with her other free hand.

Just ignore her!

The piece of paper was in no condition to be read, it was filled with wrinkles. After some efforts to straighten it, I finally could see the tiny writing in there. Looked at it and just like before, there was nothing I could understand. I needed the answers and Hailey wasn't trustable. Somewhere, I felt I could ask Fang, even though he was the last person I would trust. I just had to confirm things from him. "Where is Fang?" I asked. 

"Missing him already?" came Hailey's taunting reply. 

I sighed, "I just needed to talk to him about this, not gonna say I trust you completely." I plastered a fake smile on my face. 

"Heh," Hailey let out a breathy laugh before she stuffed her mouth with some grapes, "you are right, you shouldn't just trust... Anyone." 

Hearing that made me feel really uneasy about Hailey. I was sure she knew something, which was a good lead in finding where Zelda or the entire Cermesi clan is. "Are you hiding something?" I squinted my eyes at her. 

"I will answer if you do," Hailey returned my fake smile to me and it made my jaw clench. 

This was a dangerous game, something which Fang always lead me to. It was the riskiest with Fang because usually he isn't seeking an answer, but a price. I wasn't wrong when I had assumed that Fang and Hailey look like they were plucked from the same tree in this cunning aspect of theirs. However, this was really not a time to be thinking a lot about this.

"What questions do you have to ask," I spoke in a monotonous voice as I sighed, "apart from any of my relationships." Hailey had been pestering me a lot in that matter.

"Hey stop trying to predict me," Hailey smacked my shoulder with an unbothered offence only to receive my lips pursed into a thin line. What was she taking me for, her friend or something? Even if I and Hailey get along by accident, it would be hard to digest that because ever since we have come to Greenland, Hailey had been giving me those occasional bloodthirsty stares. I know this girl is waiting for a good opportunity to fight me. Hailey chuckled a little before continuing, "well I have one question, the one I asked in the restroom." 

It would have been better if I had just let her ask some relationship-related questions. At least that way I could have gotten out of this pretty easily. 

"I don't remember," I actually did. I very much did know what question it was. 

"You do," Hailey said as she sat up straight, and all I did was shrug and shake my head. "Well, let me just repeat it for you," said Hailey as she picked up an apple, "I have a strong feeling you are an Alpha. I saw the way your wolf looked at me during our duel. More than all that, it has pure white fur. It has been years since anyone saw a white wolf, but how do people forget about something so simple? White and black are the colours of any strong Alpha. Apart from that, you have quite the attributes." 

"I know all those theories," I replied, "but just as theories, but black is quite a dominant colour, being the darkest meaning the strongest wolf." 

Hailey bit off of a chunk of the apple while smiling, "Yeah and white is the purests. People think it is the lightest so it will be a weak wolf but who are we kidding here Selene? You are a live example of a white Alpha. Quite a strong one, I would say, just unexplored." She was right and even though I wanted to deny it further, I did not want to come off as defensive, proving her right instantly.

But by keeping quiet, I instantly proved her point correct. It was usually tough talking to people who had done their homework. 

"So," Hailey brought my attention back to her, "what happened to you that your Alpha wolf was suppressed? Because you sure as hell don't act like one"

I would not lie, that was offensive, and it was offensive because it was true. 

"I have no interest in answering that," I replied as I looked away from her. Hailey really knew her thing even though she seemed like someone who would see nothing other than fight, she sure was knowledgeable. It took her only one fight, which did not even last 5 minutes to find out I was an Alpha and that was not just on my fur colour or else a lot of them would already know.

The door clicked and my head snapped in the direction. I looked at Hailey and whispered, "I'll come back for what you are hiding later."

"Whatever suits you," she said while casually eating her fruits. 

I saw Fang enter the room and got up from the sofa to go seat on the secluded chair on the other side. The last thing I wanted was Fang to come and sit beside me, doing something he wasn't supposed to do. Before I could get to the chair, I had to circle around the table and Fang caught up to me in the meantime. He blocked my path and I lost it, "Move!"

"You look good in that," Fang ran his finger through my hair that was still wet at the tips. "I knew you would choose this one. Bane kept insisting on getting different choices for you. But here you proved it. I know my soulmate the best." He raised his hand to bring my hair near his nose. 

I had to do it and so I slapped his hand away, which elicited a chuckle from him. 

"You are soulmates!!!" Hailey screamed it out loud and it just made us more aware of her presence. Fang did not stop me and went to sit on the sofa beside Hailey while here I remembered how Hailey had described ever so slightly her "good" time with Fang Warchild. Hailey looked at him curiously, "Two alphas? Soulmates?"

"No"

"Yes"

I dropped my eyes at Fang for the yes after I tried to calm things down. "Tch, I think there was some mistake in heaven," I said while picking up the bunch of grapes. 

"Wow," Hailey curled her lower lip outside before while nodding, "I mean black and white wolf, yin and yang. I know for sure Selene is a pure soul because soulmates are supposed to be opposites, and I know how wicked Fang is." 

I smiled bitterly at Hailey, "let's keep this a secret." 

"Sure, sure," Hailey waved her hand in the air, "It will be a great conspiracy if this gets out and there is some prophecy floating around somewhere with two Alpha who will change the world." Fang leaned back on the sofa, spreading his knees and making himself comfortable while registering my reaction. I simply stared at Hailey, which made her force a smile at me and change the topic quickly, "Well Fang, Selene wanted you to review this writing." 

"Sure," Fang smiled at me before looking at the paper, which was written in Cermesi language probably.
