Alpha Princess's Possessive Mate

As Fang and I walked under the rain without any exchange of words until the rain stopped. It was getting dark now, and Fang was the first to break the silence between us, "Are you hungry?" 

"Huh?" I looked at him questioningly as I closed my umbrella. 

Fang jerked off his waterproof jacket and removed the hood from over his head, running fingers through his hair. He looked up at the sky where the moon was now seen, but a faint hint of sunlight still remained, giving the light blue colour to the sky. "Let\'s go eat something before returning," Fang spoke in the most passive, yet the most gentle voice he could. He turned to me and gave a charming smile, "It\'s on me, so have whatever you like." 

"I\'ll pass," my reply was quick and so was Fang with putting his hand around my shoulder. 

He started dragging me with him, "don\'t worry, no one is going to recognise me in this busy marketplace." I tried to get out of his hold, but he was persistent. When I was about to retaliate, Fang calmly said, without looking my way, "There are some things about this case I want to talk to you about."

My eyes slowly turned to him while he was still looking ahead and had his arm around my shoulder. Now that I thought about it, this was a case for both the villages. 

No wonder Fang had helped me today without any price in return. 

"I get it," I removed his hand from over my shoulder. Fang looked at me for a while, as if I was about to run away this very instance. My lips pursed at his expression as I walked ahead, "Don\'t you think we should go to a restaurant to eat instead of talking in the middle of a bustling marketplace?" I turned around to raise my eyebrows at him and there was a faint smile that appeared on his lips. 

Fang walked ahead to match my steps, "It\'s a date then." 

"It isn\'t," my response was lightning speed. How did this man always find an opportunity to get words around for his own advantage?

Fang chuckled, "It is always a date if it is in a fancy restaurant." 

I rolled my eyes at his words, "We are not going to any fancy restaurant." What was he even trying to get out of me? My pockets were already dry, with barely any money left. My mother had cut the entire allowance that my father was providing to me. A Fancy restaurant was a long destination when I could not even afford to properly buy myself enough groceries. "We should find someplace cheap. I am not as loaded as you are," I said as my eyes went around the capital city. 

"Little one, we need some privacy, " Fang said suggestively, and I was quick to narrow my eyes at him. He ran his tongue over the side of his teeth, "What is that look about? Couples do need privacy."

"I should head home," I sighed as I turned around. 

But Fang was quick with his actions as he held my wrist and turned, pulled me closer to him. I suddenly inhaled from my mouth at the closeness. Fang held a passive expression, unlike the usual wicked smile he carried, "I know this city better than you, so just follow me." He did not hold me closer for a long time and rather let go of me. Surprisingly, he was not taunting me, even when he stole a quick kiss from me a while back. 

I walked beside him as we moved ahead through the crowded place into a quieter area. My eyes were around and alert for any other attack that might come onto me suddenly, but my heart was beating an irregular pace, remembering Fang and his kiss. 

It was just that my mind could not stay still with Fang having kissed me twice in less than 24 hours. 

"We are here," Fang said, as I almost walked ahead in my dazed state. I stopped and awkwardly walked a few steps back to where Fang was. In my daze, I did not notice the restaurant until the live music fell on my ears. I looked around and it had a woody scent that filled the air and cabins for each table. Everything about this place screamed lavishness and there was a slight glare, which I passed to Fang. He raised his eyebrows at me casually, "What? I told you we needed privacy." 

"My entire month\'s worth of allowance would fall short here," I whispered to him before my eyes met with a waitress. She briefly gazed at me before beaming at Fang. 

The waitress had blond hair tied in a ponytail, just like mine. She approached us and I wanted to run away but immediately spoke up, "Minister Fang! Would you like your usual room?" I looked at Fang questioningly. I hoped he did not actually bring his previous affairs with the girls here. 

Fang passed me a glance and then a smile at the waitress, which was sure to melt her, "Get a VIP room ready." 

"Of course, Minister Fang," the waitress looked at me with a glare before smiling at Fang and she turned, "Please follow me." She looked like she was about to rip my head off, and I hesitated a moment before following her. 

Fang extended his hand to me as if I would even take it. It was enough for me to get my pride back on track, and I huffed before walking ahead. 

We walked through the corridors and climbed a narrow stairway at the end of which was a sliding door. The waitress turned around and found me there while Fang walked behind me. She paused before leaning forward to talk to Fang, "Minister Fang, will this room do?" There was definitely some friction that she had for me and I couldn\'t help but put my guards up. If she was to try anything funny, I would make sure she got the taste of my Alpha blood.

"Its good. We will order in some time," Fang dismissed the waitress, and she left.

While climbing down the stairs, she tripped and fell against Fang\'s chest. He did not even bother to hold her up or ask whether she was fine. "I-I\'m so sorry," the waitress blushed at her foolish attempt and I rolled my eyes before stepping inside the VIP room. That girl was really thinking she had a chance with Fang. There was a brief moment of irritation inside me, immediately replaced by sparkly eyes as I looked at the room. 

I heard footsteps of Fang climbing up the stairs and by the time I could watch the room\'s interior, Fang suddenly pressed against me from the back and my body jerked ahead. 

In an instance Fang\'s hand came around stomach and pulled me back close to him, "was that irritation out of jealousy, darling?"
