Claiming His Tempting Mate

Chapter 42

Avan's POV

"What happened?" Dad walked in with a heavy expression. His face was serious and void of any

emotions. The room filled with cries making it more noisy than needed.

"Alpha, look at my poor daughter. She is pale and unconscious" Salina cried as she looked at dad. Her

face was covered with tears making her look so pitiful that anyone's heart could bleed. But I know her

well. Salina could react faster than the signals of nerves that were sent in mind.

My gaze fell on the woman lying on bed with her eyes closed. I don't know why but my chest is

tightening every time I look at her. The scene of our argument flashed in my mind again. I don't know

why she was there. I thought if she could just rest in her room then everything would be peaceful but

who could have imagined that this woman will suddenly show up in my study with a soup.

"Alpha you have to give justice to Reese" Salina's voice rang in my ear again. She wiped her tears as

she spoke again "my poor baby is pregnant. She was carrying the heir of Bright Shine, now seeing her

like this if anything wrong happens then how will she live her life? She has put all her efforts to serve

this pack, even carrying the heir. Alpha you have to give justice to my daughter"

Dad threw a hard glare at Salina before turning his attention towards me "what's all these Avan? You

can't even handle a simple matter like this? Then how will you handle the other problems of the pack? I

was not expecting you to become like this. You are just making me disappointed over and over again"

"Dad, it was an accident" I said trying to clear the misunderstanding he was bearing in his mind.

"Reese should be resting in her room and she was not allowed to step outside of her room. But today

she suddenly showed up in my study with soup. I was worried that her condition was not good so it

would tire her and asked her to leave and rest. But she refused and started to argue with me, bringing

up past events and pointing out unreasonable things. I tried to stop but she became so violent that she

started to shout loudly and suddenly it caused her pain and bleeding. I had to call for the pack doctor to

check her"

"Who allowed her to go out of the room?" Dad roared as he looked at Salina.

Salina gasped as her eyes became wide. There was a sudden guilt flashed in her eyes because she

covered it with her tears. I knew it was all their plan. They couldn't wait to dig inside the situation even

after all this drama. These two women are really a greedy bitch who couldn't wait to do anything to

achieve their goal.

"Alpha, Reese is pregnant and she was feeling suffocating inside the room. The doctor also told her to

take a fresh breath so that she could relax her mind and body. It was suggested to be good for the

baby too. But I never thought she would make soup and bring it to study. My child is always worried

about Alpha Avan so she could help herself"

Dad didn't say anything but looked at Farid "I have told you to keep a good eye on these two. You

couldn't even do such a simple task? Farid where is all your mind floating that you didn't realised them

fleeing?"

Farid who was standing at the side lowered his head "please forgive me Alpha. Because of the family

bonding I couldn't find myself to act too much strict and let this incident happened"

"What will your apology do now?" Dad glared at him. "When you are serving the pack you need to

devote yourself and take the responsibility of your position and put it above all. But you are still stuck in

your mate bond that you could not even keep a small task well. Since this is how you decided to serve

the pack then fine, the pack does not need such a security head like you." Dad gritted his teeth "you

are free from the position and now you can do whatever you want"

Farid looked shocked while Salina stopped crying and looked at dad with wide eyes. Looks like they

never expected something like this would happen. They don't know why Farid was kept as security

head all these years. It was dad's plan because they are helpful to the pack. But looking at the situation

now it looks like they are not important at all. They are creating troubles one after another, whether it's

the daughter or mother or the father itself.

"Alpha....." Farid managed to call. He stumbled back as he looked at dad.

"Alpha, please don't do that...." Salina cried out "it was not his fault. Reese sneaked out suddenly and

Farid didn't know about it all" she tried to explain.

"Whether he knows it or not, it's not my problem. What I know is he couldn't perform his task and

needed to receive the punishment" dad replied.

"Alpha, my husband has been serving you and this pack all these years without any hesitation. You

have been praising him all the time for his contribution. It is only this time he made a mistake. Please

don't punish him this severely. Please consider his serving all these years beside you" Salina sobbed

as she said. While Farid just stood there like a statue.

"Now you are going to teach me how to rule the pack?" Dad laughed out "Farid you really know how to

choose a woman for you. Now your wife is going to teach me the pack rules and regulations" Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Salina trembled as she heard dad. She wiped her tears and about to say when Farid grabbed her arm

and pulled her aside "shut up. Are you not satisfied enough with dragging me down this hard?"

Salina looked at Farid with shock "honey, I wanted to-"

"I don't need you to decide for me. Whatever you and that daughter of yours have done is already

enough for me to suffer. I don't need you to speak for me" Farid clenched his fist as he hissed at his

wife.

This time Salina choose to stay silent. She lowered her head and didn't speak at all. Just then the pack

doctor walked from the other room. He has taken the blood sample from Reese to test after checking

her body.

"Adam what happened?" Dad asked.

"Alpha, Reese's health is poor. And because she shouted with anger it caused her blood pressure to

rise and affected the fetus. I am really sorry to say that the child is dead"

My heart beat stopped instantly. The baby is gone? My eyes fell on the still flat belly of Reese. My

blood and flesh that were growing inside her womb is dead? I felt a sudden urge to kill. I told her to take

care of herself but no, she had to create trouble and kill the child. My fist clenched and my jaw fixed.

The anger boiling inside my chest is about to erupt.

"What did you say?" Salina gasped "the baby is gone?" She fell on the floor and clutched her head as

she shouted "no...no.....this couldn't happen. How can the baby die just like that? This couldn't

happen.....no...."

"How's her body?" Dad asked, ignoring the cries of the woman on the floor.

Adam shook his head "I am sorry Alpha. Today's incident has created a lot of trouble and has affected

the body too much. I fear she couldn't bear any children in the future"

Couldn't bear any child in the future? I glared at the unconscious woman so hard that if glares worked

then she would have died long ago. She not only affected the child but now also harmed her own body.

So what if she holds the Luna position? Can Luna rule the pack if she couldn't give an heir for the

pack?

"My poor baby girl" Salina shook her head vigorously as she cried out.

"Get her conscious back and send her back to the room" I said before storming out of the room.

This is all because of this unruly woman. If it was not for her. Nothing would happen like this. Since the

baby is gone. We don't have anything to do now. The last hope that connected us together is now

gone.

Savannah's POV

I looked at the mirror and traced the bite mark on my neck. It was longer and bruiser than hickies. It

was Red and the wound is quite deeper than normal. Though I knew he would do it one day, what was

most unexpected was that he did it so soon before I could prepare myself. I shook my head at the

thought. I have heard about marking from Tanea and she also said after the marking mates can hear

our thoughts and can understand us more better. I sighed looking at the bruise mark on my neck. I

don't know if this will fade with time but the bruise he made is quite deep and it still pains sometimes.

"What are you doing?" I jumped in shock when the voice fell in my ear. I turned around and glared at

the person standing in front of me.

"Why do you always do that?" I hissed angrily.

"What did I do?" He asked, looking like an innocent child.

"You don't know" I rolled my eyes and turned around to look in the mirror again.

He hugged me from behind and looked at me through the mirror. "What happened? you look so

angry?"

"Should I not?" I said through gritted teeth. How dare he ask me like nothing happened? Yesterday he

tortured me and now the next morning he is playing innocent games with me?

"You are moody today" Hardwick ignored my glare and looked at my neck where he left his

masterpiece. Suddenly his eyes flashed and a grin appeared on his face.

"This looks good"

My temper flared immediately. I struggled free from his hold and turned around pushing him away from

me "what do you mean it looks good? You bit me so hard now tell me what should I do with this mark?"

"What are you thinking of doing?" He frowned. "And I didn't bit you instead I marked you which should

have been done long ago"

"You were aggressive," I told him calmly. Flooding my arms around my chest I looked into his eyes "you

marked me because you wanted to avoid my questions"

He walked towards the bed and sit down before looking at me "it has nothing to do with your questions"

I raised my eyebrows "oh, since that's the case then why don't you enlighten me the answers"

"You want answers?" He raised his hand and gestured me "come here"

I looked at him and threw a glare before slowly striding towards him. Once I was near him, he suddenly

pulled me to him and made me sit on his lap.

"What are you doing?" I yelled.

"Shh......." He stopped me, placing his index finger on my lips. "you talk too much. Aren't you afraid that

your jaw will hurt?"

I rolled my eyes but circled my arms around his neck for support "who are you kidding? You still haven't

answered my question"

"Which question?" He pretended. But I know he is deliberately trying to avoid it again.

"If you are so reluctant then just tell me. You don't have to pretend like this" I hissed angrily and tried to

get up from his lap "talking to you is nothing but a waste of time. I would better read some books"

"Where do you think you are going?" He tightened his hold, refusing to let me go.

"Let me go" I told him angrily.

He smirked "never, once you are chosen there's no point of arguing anymore. You have to live with me

till death apart us"

"And also that......" He traced the line longer than needed "whether you want it or not, it depends on

you. But you are mine and this is the universal truth"

My jaw almost dropped hearing him. Is he threatening me? How dare he?

"Are you threatening me?" I asked through gritted teeth.

"It also depends on you darling, if you take it in that then it is" he shrugged.

His reply made me so angry that I felt like beating him so hard until he beg for mercy. I can imagine the

scene in my mind. I bit my inner cheeks trying not to smile at the thought. The scene itself was quite

funny, him falling on his knees and begging for mercy and me glaring him with arrogance.

"What are you laughing at?" Hardwick's voice rang in my ear. I was so engrossed in my own thoughts

that I didn't realize he was looking at me deeply.

"Nothing" I pursed my lips "my questions are still left unanswered"

"What questions?"

I sighed "Hardwick I know you are doing it deliberately. But how long did you plan to keep the truth from

me? If not today then maybe tomorrow but there will always be a day when you have to tell me the

truth. So why not today?" I tried to persuade him.

Hardwick looked at me then said "there's nothing. You are thinking too much"

I sighed again "fine, since you are trying to cover it then I won't force you. Tell me when you are ready

but I must tell you something, tell me the truth before others do "

Looking at his still emotionless face I decided to give it up. I won't force him to tell me and give him time

to rethink his decision. But I really want him to tell me the truth. I got up from his lap and walked

towards the door. I glanced at him once more before walking out of the room and closing the door

behind me.
