Claiming His Tempting Mate

Chapter 12

Savannah's POV

"Hm.... Looks cosy" he said looking around my room. After the meal, mom insisted on showing him

around. Even if I don't want to, mom glared at me which made me change my mind.

"Why did you do that?" I asked him. What he did during the meal was really embarrassing. Thinking

about it I couldn't help but feel my cheeks getting hot again.

He turned around and smirked "do what?"

I gritted my teeth. He knew what he did but still he is playing innocent. Before him no one was able to

make me this annoyed. But this man really got the nerve to irritate me to death.

"You know what I am talking about?"

He slightly shook his head before sitting on my bed. He leaned back supporting his body with his arms

"no, I don't"

I looked at him blankly. This man! How come his pack people endure him?

"Do you want me to explain it?"

He nodded "oh please, I am looking forward for it"

Is he for real? Because I have never seen a man behaving like this. If others look at him they will get a

strong dominant aura but right now there's nothing but teasing in his eyes.

"Forget it. There's no point in arguing with you" I glared at him before turning around and walking

towards my wardrobe..

I raked my eyes through the clothes hanging inside. I can feel his stare piercing my back. I don't know

why but his gaze is always intimidating. Even Avan's sharp gaze will be greatest failure. Shaking my

head I reached out to take one of my dresses but gasped when I felt him hug me from behind. My eyes

widened as he felt his hot breath on my ear.

"Wha...what do you think you are doing?" I stammered as I tried to force my question.

"You smell so good, you don't have any idea what's it's doing to me" he didn't answer yet dipped his

head in my neck. The hair of my body stood up immediately. And something inside my stomach started

to move. I was never intimated like this before and I don't know what's happening to me.

"Let ..let me go you..." Before I could finish I felt his lips on my neck.

"What..."

"Shh..... You talk too much. Now shut up and enjoy it" he whispered in my ear and bit my earlobe. I

closed my eyes tightly. His hand roamed over my stomach. Even though I am wearing a dress, the way

he is touching me I can feel it on my skin. My breath quickened as I leaned myself more on his chest.

"You are fucking delicious" he whispered again as his tongue licked the skin of my neck.

"Oh..." a moan escaped from my lips and I felt myself drowning into his seduction.

"Moan my name" he said again.

"I...." I couldn't even form any words. His hand raised up trailing over my body and suddenly he cupped

my breast. My breath hitched as I felt getting hot.

"I said moan my name Savannah" this time his voice sounds like order and he squeezed my breast

hard.

"Ah....Hardwick.." I clutched his hand which was cupping my breast.

"It's...painful.." I uttered with a trembling voice. No one ever made me feel like this. And his rough hand

squeezing my soft spot roughly is adding oil in the fire.

"It will be fine..." He kissed my cheek then trailed his lips down to my neck. His hand was still kneading

my breast.

"Oh...Hardwick" I moaned again as he bit my neck.

"You taste so fucking good baby" he said huskily and licked the area where he just bit. I closed my eyes

and leaned on his shoulder. God, he is torturing my body as he pleased and I can't even do anything.

~ He is so good ~ Red purred delighted.

"Excited baby?" He asked followed by a chuckle. I bit my lips trying to control my blush. How did he

sense my Wolf?

He held my jaw and slowly turned my head to face him. His face was so closed and I could feel his hot

breath on my cheek.

"I want to taste those lips" he whispered and about to capture my lips when my bedroom door flung

open. I snapped out my trance immediately. What was that?

"What are you doing to my sister?" Devak growled.

And then my eyes widened.I pushed him away from me. Oh my god, I just.... I looked at Hardwick and

he was having an annoyed expression. Did I just make out with him? Oh god..I never let any male to

dominate me but how come I fell for his seduction?

"Answer me. What are you trying to do with her?" Devak looked so angry as he marched towards us.

"What are you doing?" Tanea appeared behind him and held his arm.

"Let me go. I will teach this man a good lesson today" Devak tried to free his hand from her hold.

"Devak are you mad? He is Savannah's mate" Tanea frowned.

"Fuck with mate. How dare he touch her?"

Tanea rolled her eyes then looked at me before smiling "I am sorry for interrupting"

I turned away, hiding my blush. God, I am so embarrassed today. Earlier during the meal and now

again in my room. And all of this happening because of this shameless man.

"I can do whatever I want with her. She is mine" Hardwick's cold voice landed in my ear and I felt novelbin

myself being pulled again. He held my waist firmly and looked at Devak who was struggling with Tanea.

"You bastard, first you kidnapped her then now you're forcing yourself on her?" He growled.

"Force?" Hardwick looked down at me "did I?" He smirked.

My cheeks started to get warm again and I glared at him hard. How dare he ask me something like

that?

"See, her blush is the result of my action," he replied, kissing my cheek.

I looked at him with disbelief. What is he thinking?

"You...you..." Devak glared at him.

"We need to leave. Now let's go" Tanea pulled him towards the door.

"I will kill him today," Devak yelled.

"No, you won't. Dad will be too upset with you" Tanea replied but she still managed to pull him with her.

Devak threw a hard glare before Tanea dragged him away from my room.

I turned around and glared at him again. Angrily I pushed him away "what do you think you were

doing?"

He raised his eyebrow "what?"

"Don't behave like you are innocent because you are not"

"What did I do? You were the one who was moaning my name" he smirked.

I blushed again and looked away. I felt him pulling me again. I rested my hand on his chest trying to

push him but he didn't even move this time. I frowned.

"You are not allowed to hide that blush from me" he growled in my ear.

"You.."

"You are mine, and only mine. I have all the right to make you blush and...." He leaned closer. His lips

were touching the shell of my ear "make you scream my name"

My heart pounded inside my chest like a drum. Oh god, I don't know how he managed to get such a

reaction from my body. Even his low whisper makes me clench my thigh. I couldn't control myself and I

pushed him away before running out of the room.

Just a few hours ago he was a stranger to me and I didn't believe his words that I am his mate. But

now I feel attracted to him. Those sinful lips are like magic on my skin and his dirty words are making

me wet. All of this is new to me. It's like he is pulling me inside a new world to ride the exciting

adventure.

=======

"Hunting event?" I frowned.

Tanea nodded "yes, it happens on scheduled date in years time"

"So..?"

"Every pack sends some of their pack members to participate in this event"

I sipped my coffee "have you gone there?"

"Yes" Tanea shook her head "it was after a year joining Snow Moon. Devak took me there with some

other pack members"

"What is this event actually for?"

"It's just showing how strong you are and your pack is" Tanea shrugged "last time there was animal

hunting, fighting and some other games presented"

"Who won?" I asked excitedly.

Tanea chuckled, "you really want to know?"

I nodded my head.

"It's a Dark Forest Pack. Those members are strong and yes, they are really skilled. They beat

everyone who comes in their way"

I frowned. Isn't it Dark Forest... I leaned towards her on the table.

"Have you seen Hardwick last time?"

"No, he didn't come. It's just few of his pack members"

"Alpha's do not participate?"

Tanea laughed "no, it's not like that. But it depends on the Alpha. If they want to come then they can.

But every year it was the pack members who take the challenge and perform"

"Strange" I finished my drink and put it on the table "when will the next event?"

"In a month"

"What?" I stood up looking at her with wide eyes "in a month?"

"Yeah" she nodded.

A grin started to form on my lips. Great. It is kind of exciting to join such thing "this time I gonna join"

Tanea raised her eyebrows "you want to?"

"Of course. Isn't it exciting?"

Tanea grinned "yeah but beware of your possessive mate" she laughed. I rolled my eyes. He is not

possessive. Is he?

"Miss Savannah" I turned to look at the maid "Alpha is waiting for you in meeting room"

Meeting room? I looked at Tanea who was also confused.

"Okay" I nodded. The maid nodded before taking her leave.

"Do you have any idea?" I asked her.

"Nope"

We walked towards the meeting room. When the door of the meeting room was opened everyone was

already there. I frowned when I saw Hardwick was there too.

"Come dear" mom smiled as gestured her hand. I walked towards her and stood beside her while

Devak pulled Tanea with him.

"What's the matter?" I asked.

Dad sighed "Alpha Hardwick wants to leave and you are going with him too"

My eyes widened and I looked at Hardwick who was already looking at me.

"But I don't want to leave" as my words are out his face becomes hard. Oh no, he is getting angry now.

But I don't want to leave so early. He stood up suddenly and his gaze pierced me in my place.

"There's no arguments. We are leaving and that's final" then he walked out of the room. I watched his

figure disappear before turning my head to dad.

"Dad I don't want to leave"

"Honey, Hardwick is your mate and no matter what you need to follow him. Besides I can see he is too

desperate to take you" mom smiled sadly.

"But.."

"Savannah, your mom is right. It's difficult to find a second chance bonding. Your first chance was

worse but even though Hardwick is rough and dangerous he is not a bad man. I have interacted with

him and I can see the longings in his eyes clearly. I looked down listening to them.

"Savannah?" Mom called. But instead of answering her I ran out of the room ignoring the calls from

them.

He was standing on the balcony near my room. His straight back posture gives a good look. He looked

so strong and intimidating. I walked towards him silently.

"If you are here to beg then you can forget about it. There's no way I am leaving you here" he said

without turning back.

"But.." he swiftly turned around and pinned me to the nearest wall.

"Don't you dare to refuse because it won't work. You are going with me whether you like it or not" he

glared down at me with those dominating brown eyes. He looks sexy when he gets angry.

Snap out of it. What the hell am I thinking? I shook my head mentally. I gulped down before opening my

mouth.

"I was not refusing you"

He raised his eyebrow "oh really"

"I .. didn't meant to refuse earlier"

"You are still refusing" he glared at me.

I closed my eyes. I sighed and looked at him again. He was holding me so close to him. And his scent

filling my nostrils intoxicating it.

"I just wanted to stay here till the hunting event," I said finally.

"Hunting event?" He frowned.

I nodded "yes, I want to take part in it?"

"You can still do it after leaving"

I shook my head "I want to take part as a member of Snow Moon Pack"

"What's the difference between that whether you are a Snow Moon member or Dark Forest member?"

"It's because your pack is winning mostly. So I want to participate and win" I snapped at him. Then I

closed my mouth with my hand realising what I had said.

He looked startled by my sudden snapping as he looked at me for some time. Oh god, what I have said

just now. I am challenging his pack in front of him. I thought he would get angry at me but instead he

chuckled. I looked at him with confusion.

"Are you really interested in taking part?" He asked.

I nodded my head.

"Fine"

My eyes widened. Did I just hear right? He said fine?

"What?" I asked as I couldn't believe his words.

"Fine, you can stay here till the hunting event"

A smile broke on my face and with excitement I jumped in his arms hugging him tightly "thank you,

thank you" and kissed his cheek. But then I realised what I did and tried to break the hug but he held

me tightly not letting me.

"Fuck, if I knew I will get such reward then I would have said yes earlier" he kissing my cheek. And I

burnt with blush again.
