Chapter 133 - Unexpected Encounter - I
*Channing's past story*
Channing watched the sausage he was eating was on the floor with the yellow mustard splattered over his shoes as it had rolled over his footwear before rolling ahead and he saw someone mindlessly step on the sausage. A nerve popped on his head as he turned around to see the girl who had crashed into him mindlessly and was still blaming him to watch where he was going.
A hundred times Channing must have repeated in his mind that he must not lose his mind today and be a good person but this girl had stepped on the wrong part of his personality.
"Girl, it was you who crashed into me," Channing almost growled at her. She was not that tall and Channing towered over her easily, yet the girl proudly stood with arrogance smeared across her face. She looked at Channing with creased brows casually and it only kept pushing the switches of Channing.
The girl's head tilted to the side with a ridiculed expression, "huh, you were the one standing in the way if anything, you should be apologising to me."
What arrogance, Channing thought to himself. He rolled his eyes and started to walk away to buy himself another plate of sausage and not meddle with the girl just to end up losing control.
"Where do you think you are going?" The girl asked, pulling him and jerk to stand back in front of her. "You owe me an apology, mister."
"Excuse me?" Channing lost it now. What audacity this girl had to talk this way.
"Ellie," came another voice from behind the girl and two other girls stepped ahead to where the brown-haired girl was standing, who had crashed into Channing. "Just leave him be. There is no need to create a fuss here we are here to enjoy today."
The girl named Ellie, who had crashed into Channing, did not move her eyes away from him, "he was the one who started."
Channing closed his eyes, holding back the anger that boiled inside him. It would be bad with him having no control over his abilities completely yet. When his eyes opened, he talked to the girl who came from behind Ellie, "Please take this girl away from here-"
Ellie stepped between her friend and Channing, tilting her head up as her hand rested on her waist, "Or what? Talk to me if you have a problem with me no need to pull Akame in between."
The girl named Akame was chasing Ellie when the accident had happened and it was Akame who was panicking over wanting her friend to stop from making any trouble. She pulled Ellie's shoulder to whisper in her ears, "What are you doing Ellie, we are not here to create a fuss if the princess finds out. Hurry and let it go before our princess come here." Akame was worried while Ellie held a distasteful look at the mention of their princess.
Ellie jerked her shoulder to face back at Channing while still taking to Akame, "I am not scared of my sister Akame, you go and hold her legs if you like. And you," Ellie said, looking back at Channing, "apologise fast, I don't have time for your crap."
Channing raised his brows, controlling his wolf, that was trying to break free in a rage. His abilities allowed him to increase his strength tenfolds, but that was not the only thing that was affected. His emotions were what it was most tough to control against. Right now, he felt so angry that he wanted to rip this girl named Ellie into pieces and it took him everything to hold back his anger from acting up. If there was any emotion werewolves felt engulfing, then that would be anger.
It did not take even a second more for Channing to grab Ellie's neck and jerk her towards him. His eyes started turning a shade of golden and muscles growing under his outfit.
The people around started to crowd around looking at the fight that had broken in the middle of the street.
Akame ran to free Ellie from Channing's hold, "Let her go, are you committing a murder in broad daylight?" There was so much panic that Akame's voice held as she tried to hold Channing's other hand and feeling his muscles grow abnormally under her touch and Akame's eyes went wide at that.
What monster strength was this man hiding, thought Akame to herself.
Channing pushed Akame away, thinking of her touch as irritation. She stumbled back while Channing focused back on the girl, whose throat was almost on the brink of getting crushed by Channing, "When I ask you to leave, you leave, girl, don't test your luck just anywhere."
Ellie's eyes were turning up, going into her skull. Her hands were struggling against Channing's wrist.
Strangely enough, Ellie was not trying to get Channing's wrist away from but her hand kept holding and leaving his wrist as if she was trying to activate a part of her ability, but struggled against Channing's hold. The capillary in her eyes broke, make blood spread in a spot when suddenly Channing's hand felt slack in her hold.
Ellie fell down coughing, blinking, with long pauses to bring her fading vision back to normal.
Akame came to her side quickly as she slowly released Ellie's hand that was still holding Channing's wrist, "Ellie, are you fine?" Akama rubbed Ellie's back while the girl struggled to stand straight and coughed uncontrollably.
"What did you do!" came Channing's shocked voice as he fell to the ground.
He had felt weak in his muscles and his knees gave out when Ellie's hand was released from holding him. It was like something had stopped his ability altogether and this had never happened before. As much as Channing hated what was happening to his body right now, he felt a sense of relief that someone stopped his uncontrolled abilities. After a few seconds, he managed to get up and get himself a chair to sit facing Ellie, who was being tended to by Akame.
"Was it your ability?" Channing questioned, eager to know whether there was someone who could actually stop him in that state where his consciousness gave up on him.
Ellie drank the water that Akame had brought her and glared at Channing, with one of her now having a patch of blood inside. "You are very strong for an Omega," she hissed in distaste. She had never felt her own ability to be rendered this useless ever before.
Channing smiled at her words, "I am not an Omega."
Both the girl's eyes snapped at Channing. Ellie now understood why her abilities took so long to take effect. "You are a Warchild!" exclaimed Ellie. Channing nodded in agreement. Ellie's brows creased, "My abilities take long to work on Alphas, but this was the first time that I felt an overwhelming power from you."
The way she had mentioned Alphas made Channing question her, "Have you met another Warchild before? An Alpha blood?"
Ellie gulped as if this was the information she was not supposed to give, "I- Please don't say it out loud and forget I said that."
