Alpha Princess's Possessive Mate

Chapter 19 - Free

I stomped away toward the exit leaving Fang behind. Who does he think of himself? As if he can even compare to me, that snake is never getting on my good side. I will show him, I am not one of those weak princesses who grew up learning stitches and flower arrangements.

As I walked further and further my anger subsided, the control that I lost back then was now regained. My eyes closed as I took a deep breath and let go of everything.

When I opened my eyes I saw the two most irritating figures walking in my direction, why does my luck always have to slap me in the face!

'It's okay I am already declared Not guilty' I kept telling myself that and walked ahead. Chief Jack was bringing Zelda inside the court, she probably had her trials next.

I couldn't help but look at Chief Jack now, waiting for his reaction, on he would talk about pressing further charges against me and then sending me to jail to face endless torture.

But, as we crossed each other Jack had his head held low, totally avoiding even a glance at me and his footsteps quickened.

What is this?

My crinkled eyebrows stared at him but he refused to acknowledge my presence. Did he have some enlightenment? He looked embarrassed, no maybe avoiding confrontation, or was he ashamed?

Whatever, it is better this way. I might need help from the police later in my mission, right now I will let him be and contemplate his words and actions.

Trudging forward I realised that I have to start immediately with my mission, it was a weight that my body and mind were feeling now. First things first I should gain the trust of my pack, then the trust of Waterwoods pack. But with Fang there, my first steps are going to be very difficult.

'I will think about it when the time comes, right now I should focus on Winterwells pack.'

"SELENE!" Suzan beamed, waving at me, "Here, here, come fast Selene!"

Okay, here begins my first task!

I smiled at Suzan as she came in distant view and ran up to her, "Sorry, was I too long?"

"No it's fine," spoke Sam. Before I could say anything else Suzan held my hand and dragged me down the stairs.

"Hold up! Suzan, I might fall" I exclaimed in a terrified tone. My mind was always fearful of stairs and with the speed that she was hauling me down it was so tough to balance myself, it felt like I would definitely tumble down and break my neck today.

"Suzan, slow down!" A voice came from behind us. But she barely listened to it and in seconds we were at the bottom of the stairs.

My heart was going 1000 miles per hour, and my body was in a state of shock.

Sam ran up to me concerned, "Oh dear, are you okay?"

"Ugh...huh" I nodded, trying to process the last 2 seconds of my life and Suzan's scary accurate speed.

"What are you doing Suzan, look you scared her!" Belted Sam, in a caring manner, "Not everyone is as fast as you, when will you understand that?"

"Sorry," Suzan made a pouty face and apologetically asked, "are you okay Selene?"

I nodded finally having cooled down and smiled at her, instantly my smile turned into laughter. A burst of laughter you get after some stupid adrenaline rush.

"Are you okay? S-Selene..." Suzan inquired, a bit scared of my reaction.

I calmed myself down, "Yes I'm fine Suzan, it was fun. Just don't repeat that ever again please!"

"See! See! She had fun!" Chimed Suzan raising a finger at Sam, totally ignoring the second half of my sentence, "Don't ruin my fun again...huh."

Saying this Suzan huffed and turned around dramatically, flicking her hair and walked ahead, "come on Selene, let's go explore this city"

Sam looked at me with a shrug showing 'I can't really do anything about her!' it made me giggle at Sam's expressions. I caught up with Suzan. Everyone came ahead and joined us as we headed towards the market area.

~*~

The sun was down and it was getting dark. It had been an hour but Suzan was nowhere ready to return.

"Oh my god!! Look at those, Squid rolls", Suzan gleamed pointing towards a street vendor. She had been at this for the past one hour and I was just enjoying this, I had never seen the capital city this way before!

"Come on Selene let's have some, then we'll have some kebab from that vendor as well!" Suzan said pointing at yet another cart.

I agreed, "Sure." And Suzan brought two plates of squid rings which we finished immediately, instantly she got us two plates of kebab. I was having my fill, after all, it had been days since I tasted so much tasty food.

We had lost other members, I and Suzan just went on eating and entered deeper inside the market. Suddenly I heard Sam's voice from behind,

"Oii!" He waved at us and we waved back at him.

He ran up to us, "I thought you were lost! And here you are still eating. Aren't you girls full yet!" He asked, looking at the plates in our hand horrified.

We burst out laughing, "what are you saying? We still have half of the market to check!", said Suzan glistening with excitement.

"We should leave Suzan!" Stated sam to which Suzan shook her head, so he turned to me, "Selene at least you understand! It getting dark"

"Come on sam!" Suzan stood in between me and him, "it's barely a 10 minutes run"

Sam was irritated at this point, "that only applies to you Suzan! Everyone else will take half an hour to reach"

I creased my eyebrows confused at the conversation, "wait a minute the van took approx 90 minutes to reach here, how will the road be half an hour going back home?"

Suzan laughed, "That's a lot! These modern vehicles are very slow. I guess the road from our village climbs a slight hill so it took you that amount of time."

"So you guys didn't come here by the van!?"

Sam and Suzan both laughed, she kept a hand on my shoulder, "Selene, the goddess has given us the gift of four legs! Why would we come by the road?"

"Exactly!" acknowledged Sam, "the village can be clearly seen from here, and we are werewolves, Selene! If the goddess has bestowed upon us this gift, why not use it?"

"Yaa" I agreed. Growing up I was told to shift only during training and in times of war. No one here in the capital city turns werewolves this casually! I always wanted to embrace this gift as if my own, whenever I wanted.

"Let's head home!" I said excitedly, my wolf was howling to be set free inside me. As a princess promised into another Human kingdom, I was taught strictly to keep my supernatural nature a secret.

"But the market!", whined Suzan.

"Let's come back here some other time, it's just a 10 minutes road!" I said dragging her with me outside the market.

As someone who grew up in the castle learning the history and the politics of some other human kingdom, this was going to be one of the best moments of my life. To turn into my wolf at my own will! Not for any training or any war but just because I wanted to!

All of us rushed out, I couldn't hear what Suzan was trying to say. My wolf just wanted to be set free!

I saw the entire pack waiting towards the exit of the capital city, we all ran outside the city into the jungle. I was so excited that I jumped in the air, turning into my pure white wolf tearing my clothes.

"SELENE!" Suzan shouted with a gasp, "you don't just turn like that!"

"What do you mean?" I telecommunicated to Suzan, as a wolf we had no choice but to telecommunicate.

Suzan burst out laughing, "We can't buy so many changes of clothes! We usually give our clothes to Arina, so when we want to shift back again on an unknown land, we have clothes to wear. Arina carries the emergency bag so next time remember to change before shifting!"

'Was that even necessary?' I said to myself, it's just some clothes! But then it did make a valid point, if we were running to an unknown land far from home, we should be able to shift back to our human self without shame

I waited for them to change and everyone's wolf emerged from behind the tree, girls were on the left side and boys on the right.

"Let's go?" I asked wagging my tail, my feet were twitching to run.

Suzan howled and everyone else joined her. I followed as well, howling as loud as I could. And Suzan was the one who made a run for it first, dashing through the woods.

"Here she goes again", sighed Sam, as werewolves anyone in our vicinity could hear our thoughts as if they leak in the environment.

I ignored everything else and ran behind Suzan trying to catch up to her. Every step I took felt so light as if I was set free! This is perfect, let me check how fast I can go.
