Claiming His Tempting Mate

Chapter 25

Savannah's POV

"So you are finally free" I smirked as I saw Tanea walk towards me. It was already evening and Jion

and Shiny suggested we should have a bonfire near our tent. The weather at night somehow turned

cold so using a fire is quite a good method. I haven't seen her after Devak forcefully took her in the tent

and what happened between them was something I am not interested to know.

Tanea sat beside me but I can see the faint stains of blush forming in her cheeks. I chuckled and took a

sip of my coffee. All thanks to Jion who got the idea to get this Starbucks coffee for us to enjoy. I was

really craving it.

"What happened?" Shiny asked with interest. Her eyes were shining as she looked at us.

"Nothing... I just thought she was busy because I haven't seen her" I shrugged my shoulders.

"Speaking of that, today's game was thrilling. I mean they really put much effort into creating that hell of

a maze system. I almost thought I was at the end point but then the path changed and got me in

another puzzled way" Shiny said smiling.

"You got lost 2 times" Jion rolled his eyes at the side.

"Who told you to butt in? I can find the way myself. I didn't ask for your help" Shiny barked angrily at

him.

"Oh, is that so?" Jion suddenly smirked "if you were really left behind then it would be another task for

us to find you instead of completing the game"

We laughed hearing it while Shiny pursed her lips and turned her head away sulking.

"Who won at the end?" I asked Jion.

"The Dark Forest, I must say they are quite good in solving puzzles. They were fast enough to find

ways and head towards the end" he replied.

The Dark Forest again. I repeated the name in my mind. Hardwick said had some work in the pack, but

it's already sunset and there's no sign of him. Here his team is making good progress, is it because he

is giving some secret instructions to them? But when I asked him he gradually declined at once without

any hesitation.

"What happened?" Jion clapped catching my attention.

"Uh...nothing" I shook my head.

"Dark Forest is always like this. They really do possess good skills and strengths" Shiny said,

explaining more "I even heard that they never practice publically, whatever they do is secret. I wonder

what kind of methods they use to train themselves?"

"Who knows?" Jion shrugged "but that does not mean we are at loss too. We got the second position

anyway"

"It doesn't matter who wins this game or loses. What matters is that you are participating and showing

your skills. Besides this games were played by the elders at an early time so they are just used to keep

the tradition" Tenea said after some time.

I didn't bother to join the conversation as I drank my coffee enjoying it's flavours. In this chilly night with

a warm coffee and warm fire this was all I could ask for. It didn't take long for my brother to join in. He

looked calm and collected this time. Looks like his anger went off after forcing Tanea.

"Where were you?" Jion asked frowning at him

"Busy" Devak replied shortly before sitting beside Tanea and pulling her in his arms. I rolled my eyes at

his action. Is she the kind of territory that he is always showing his domination publically?

"You were busy too?" Jion raised his eyebrows then looked at Tanea before shaking his head. Between

Shiny and him, he is smarter. I can guess that he already know the what kind of 'busy' they mean.

Chuckling, I roamed my eyes around. Few people were still there outside the tent and they also had a

bonfire like us. But what caught my attention was certain someone who looked anxious. Under the

shade of trees there's two fingers standing facing each other. But what was surprising was that they

looked like they were arguing about something. I frowned when I narrowed my eyes on them. The girl

was none other than my so-called sister who could not wait to kill me. But the man standing beside her

was unfamiliar. He was not Avan then who was he?

I saw him holding her arms yet Reese shook it off angrily then said a few things again. The man

frowned before saying something back. I couldn't hear them as they were a little far away from me but

their sudden arguments really caught my interest. I really want to know who that man was. Because I

have never seen Reese flirting with another man other than Avan. Though she is kind of bitch, she

never cheated on Avan. I guess she has real feelings for him even though he is not her real mate.

Wait a second. Mate? My eyes followed the pair arguing again. Reese said something before turning

around and leaving the guy alone in there looking at her back. There was a kind of expression on his

face. My mind moved and something hit it hard.

Is this man her mate? Real mate? I bit my lips as I pondered over it. If he is her real mate, will Reese

leave Avan? But thinking about what kind of personality Reese has I could hardly believe it. Reese is

always too greedy for power and reputation. She could do anything for it. But will she really sacrifice

her mate for it? Could it be possible?

And the answer will always be YES.

I shook my head and about to turn my head I felt a pair of arms engulfed me in a warm embrace. The

familiar smell of patchouli hit me and I know who it was. He left early in the morning without much

explanation and I was not able to see him for the whole day which somehow made me sad but now

thinking about him being here again made my heart jump with excitement. Soon enough his rough

voice filled my ear as his hot breath tickled my skin. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Hardwick's POV

I groaned when the annoying ringtone of my phone played, breaking my sleep. I opened my eyes and

the first thing that came into my view was the beautiful face of my mate who was sleeping soundly. Her

face was calm and she laid in my arm using my shoulder as her pillow.

~ She is so beautiful ~ Onyx yelled in my mind ~ I can't fucking wait to have her all to myself~

~ you are not the only one buddy ~ I replied back as my eyes glued on our beautiful face ~ I am dying

inwardly just to feel inside of her ~

Onyx groaned loudly ~ fuck, I am hard now ~

I chuckled shaking my head ~ you are whipped~

~ fucking yes ~ Onyx agreed without any hesitation.

The constant ringtone didn't let me focus all my attention towards my mate. I rolled my eyes frustratedly

and moved my other arm to get my phone. When I saw the name flashing on the screen I almost

groaned again. Fuck.

"This must be something important or else I will chop your head right now" I hissed as soon as I picked

the call.

"Damn man, what got you so hard?" Ryan's voice reached my ear.

"Spill" I gritted my teeth.

"You need to get back here in the pack"

"Right now?"

"Yes"

"What happened there?" I frowned.

"Border problem, I had to take two rounds around it before I get the loopholes there"

"What did you get?"

"For that you need to get here" I rolled my eyes.

"Fine, you better get this important or else-"

"Hell, this is. I don't have free time to call you. I would rather get a good fuck than talk to you" Ryan

spat angrily.

I rolled my eyes and cut the call. All he knows is how to fuck and this is what happens when a unmated

males goes crazy when they couldn't find their real mate. It's odd that Ryan is still single while he gets

laid with uncountable women. I shook my head and turned my attention towards my sleeping beauty

again. It's good that my mate is a deep sleeper so hopefully she didn't get interrupted while I was on

the call. I traced my fingers on her smooth arm. She stirred a little but didn't wake up. She is a really

deep sleeper. I chuckled and slowly removed her head and laid it on a pillow. After admiring her for

some time I kissed her forehead and got out of the bed. I don't like much clothes on the bed so I only

slept with my boxers and it felt good to have my mate without anything parting us, not even those thin

layers of cloth. Grabbing my shirt I wore it and wore my pants and shoes before grabbing my car keys.

Before leaving I made sure to write a small note to let her know after she woke up.

Driving back to the pack area was quite long. It would take 3 hours for sure and it's making me too

restless because I don't want to leave my mate there alone. But I also could not avoid my work back in

the pack again. It's frustrating to wait until this fucking event ends and I can finally have her all to

myself. When I finally reached the pack Ryan was already waiting in the study.

"Finally, you are quite fast" he smirked as he saw me walking in.

"Fuck off, get to the point"

"Too rude," he groaned, "I don't have free time to give you a call. If the matter was not serious enough I

would be enjoying my time than facing you"

"What happened?" I sat down on my chair giving him my full attention.

Ryan twisted his hand "I got some news in the border. Few days ago there were some rogues that

were arrested and placed in the dark cell to investigate. This matter was about to report to you but I got

to know first"

I frowned at him "rogues?"

He nodded again.

"Have you seen them?"

"I did actually but what serious is the person behind this rogues movement"

"Who?"

Ryan looked at me before sighing "It's Messiah Olson"

I clenched my fist and banged it on the table harshly. Fuck that bastard. He couldn't wait to make

trouble and invade my life again.

"What now?" Ryan asked again.

I shook my head "not now" . I just found my mate and I can't get involved in such dirty matters so soon.

Not until I make sure of her safety first.

"Since the invaders are captured already then proceed for the punishment"

"Which one do you want to use?" Ryan asked lazily, tapping on the table.

I looked at him and smirked "I don't think I need to tell you that" I get up from the chair "you liked it so

much to play with your whores, why don't you get some of your men to play with the new toys in the

cell?"

"You..." Ryan looked shocked then he shook his head.

"Get me the audio soon" then I walked out of the study.

"Fuck, this is hell" I heard Ryan cursing behind me.

I went to my room and took a shower to relax my body. But I could not forget the words of Ryan -

Messiah Olson, the biggest thorn in my life that pierced me to the depth where I could not heal my

wound. This name has been engraved in my mind and heart and has haunted me all these years.

~ There will always be time for us to take revenge ~ Onyx said in my mind.

~ I am looking forward to that day when his head will be in my hand and his body would be rolling on

the floor like a bastard as he is ~ I reached out and rubbed my hair as it drenched with the water. The

cold water cooled my body but it couldn't cool down the raging fire inside my chest.

~ It's not the time yet~

~ I know ~ I closed my eyes and suddenly a beautiful pair of purple eyes flashed in.

~ I am already missing her. I couldn't wait for long to mark her. Letting her leave unmarked is not

adjustable ~ Onyx shook his head ~ we need to put our mark on her ~

~ we will ~ I nodded ~ it's time to claim what's ours and no more fucking wait ~

After calming myself down I turned off the shower and grabbed a towel before wrapping it around my

waist. Coming inside the room I grabbed my black shirt and jeans. Once I was done I grabbed my car

keys and phone before walking out of the room.

I saw Luina was waiting outside my room with her head lowered "Master"

"Get a new wardrobe and arrange all the things that my mate would need for daily use. I need you to

personally check everything. I don't accept any lack in this matter" I ordered.

"Yes Master, please trust this maid. Mistress will never complain for this arrangement"

"Good. Make sure to check it twice" she nodded her head.

"Yes master"

I need to arrange everything before I bring her here. I don't want her to have anything less. She will be

the mistress of my pack. My Luna who will be ruling the entire Dark Forest by my side. But before that I

need to do some stuffs so that she would not feel uncomfortable after living here with me. With that

thought I stride out of the house and directly walked towards my car to get back in Tiwan Forest. I really

don't know what got her interest in that dramatic event but since she likes it then I will be there with

here. My only concern is my mate in there and for other.

Just Fuck them.

When I stepped inside the Tiwan area it was already evening and I saw others enjoying the bonfire

before their tents. My eyes raked through the crowd and my eyes fell on the small figure sitting before

the bonfire. My lips hooked up as a smile started to form on its own accord. I stride towards my mate

and then her musky amber scent hits me. My body immediately felt relaxed. The person beside her

was saying something but my mate was thinking deeply. I couldn't wait anymore as I caged her small

body in my arms and whispered in her ear.

"What are you thinking? Missing me already?"

She gasped but relaxed her body and leaned in my chest. I dipped my head in her neck inhaling her

sweet musky scent that always drives me crazy and want me to tie her on bed and fuck her hard till she

forgets everything other than my name.

"Where were you?" She asked after some time.

"Needed to go back. Some pack work"

"That urgent?"

I smirked "why? Can't stay without me now?"

"Can you be a little serious?" I can feel her rolling her eyes.

I chuckled "I can't help it when my mate is driving me fucking crazy"

"Hardwick" she gasped again "shh... There are people around here. Don't be too shameless" she

scolded.

"Darling, there's no place for shame while taming my own mate. Just Fuck the others" I replied as I

kissed her neck.

She took a sharp breath while I smirked. She is so responsive and her body always reacts when I play

with it. I love how her breath quickens whenever I kiss her. I just fucking love it.

"Oh my god....you are really impossible" she let out an annoyed groan.

"Fuck, don't do that baby or I could not control" I growled lowly in her ear.

"Hardwick please" her voice almost pleading. But it was like music in my ear. And I want to hear more.

"Fuck" I cursed and pulled her up with me. She gave me a confused look.

"What?"

"Come with me"

"Where?"

I smirked and gestured towards the tent with my eyes. She looked at the tent then to me with wide

eyes.

"No..no..."

"Oh yes, yes" I didn't let her protest more as I scooped her up in my arms and walked towards the tent.

After such an exhausting day I can finally have a sweet taste of my mate.
