Claiming His Tempting Mate novel Chapter 47

Savannah's POV

Two days later....

I huffed as I looked at the screen. It has been two days since my mate left and there's no need for him. At least he could have called me once in these two days but no that man is really an idiot. He didn't even say anything about his work yet just left like that.

"Where are you Hardwick? You are already making me worried" I mumbled. I know he has works and his responsibilities but I am also his mate and does not I included in his fucking responsibility term?

"Breakfast is ready Mistress" Luina walked inside as she informed me.

I am losing my appetite here. First my mate is gone and second that Delaney woman popped out of nowhere. I don't know why but that woman makes me uneasy. Looking at her doesn't give any kind of assertive feelings in my heart. I pushed the laptop away and looked at Luina.

"Luina, do you know who Delaney is?" I asked. Though I have settled my mind not to interfere in this matter until Hardwick tells me everything first but now that Delaney is here it's making me more curious.

"That I really don't know Mistress. Since I have started to work here, there's no person called Delaney. I don't know if she is a member of this pack" Luina replied, smiling apologetically.

Hmm....looks like the matter of Delaney is kind of sensitive and more secretive than I thought. Is that why Hardwick refused to talk about her or there's more that made him avoid her topic rapidly.

"Do you know anyone who could have known something about this Delaney girl?"

"That...." Luina pondered for a while, hesitating.

"Luina, I am your Mistress. If you are hesitating because of your Alpha then you don't have to. I will handle him but this matter is really important. I need to know about this Delaney" I persuaded her. Fuck with the waiting, I will try to know about this Delaney girl as much as I could. I don't like the restless feeling crawling in my chest whenever I hear her name. I fucking hate this feeling.

"Mistress, it's not that I don't want to help. It's my duty to fulfill your order. Master has ordered you to do everything you say or desire. But the point is The matter of Delaney is a past event and can only be known by those who were present at that time. Most of the elders of the past live in the east side so it's quite hard to get any information about past events. Besides it's also the rules of the pack not to reveal anything happened in the past"

I shook my head "it's ridiculous you know" I got up from bed and walked towards the window. In the field my gaze fell on the two figures hanging around happily.

"Sometimes the secrets of the past must be revealed to save the present and also the future because the past events are too dark. It affects the present and future as well. If one doesn't know anything about the past how could they handle the current problem? It's important to know who this Delaney is" I put my palm on the glass window as my gaze fixed on the two figures.

"Mistress, maybe my aunt could help," Luina said. I shifted my body, turning around to look at her.

"Your aunt?" I frowned.

"Yes," she nodded. "My aunt was a head maid in the pack who worked during the period of the late Alpha Master. So maybe she could help"

I smiled "good, let's go then I need to meet her immediately"

"Yes"

It took a 15 minutes walk to reach Luina's aunt's house. It was a little further in the pack area. A middle-aged woman opened the door and gasped as she looked at us.

"Luina?" The woman called out.

"Aunt Rosis" Luina smiled "My mistress wanted to meet you so I brought her here"

"Mistress" Aunt Rosis's eyes widened "oh, please forgive my ignorance Mistress"

"It's fine" I waved my hand "how are you aunt Rosis?"

"I am a good Mistress, oh my bad please come inside" Rosis let out a nervous chuckle.

We went inside and settled in the small living room. Rosis made tea and served it. She looked good though she has reached middle aged. Her silver hair was tied in a bun but there's no sign of wrinkles on her skin.

"I never thought this would come and you will visit me here Mistress. How can I help you?" Rosis asked.

I smiled "Luina told me you used to work as head maid in the pack?"

"Yes, I have worked for longer periods. I have seen Little Master to grow up and become the Alpha. Those golden days are such remarkable memories I could never forget" Rosis smiled.

I nodded. Since she has worked for such a long period of time I guess she could have known about Delaney too. So without wasting much time I asked her.

"Aunt Rosis, do you know who Delaney is?"

Rosis's eyes widened "Mis....Mistress?"

And I really do expect such a reaction.

"Please don't hesitate, Aunt Rosis. You really don't need to feel afraid. I just wanted to know about her. I don't mean any harm"

Rosis sighed "Mistress it's hard. The matter of Delaney is kind of an important matter and because of that there's many changes in the pack. Though I don't know much about it but whatever I know is also prohibited to talk"

"Aunt Rosis I can understand your feeling but I need to know about her because it's not about me but it includes Hardwick and the whole pack too. If you choose to stay quiet today then whatever will happen next won't you feel regret? "

"Mistress, what are you talking about?"

"Delaney is here"

Rosis gasped "what-what? She is here?"

"Yes, that's why I am asking for your help. Please tell me whatever you know about her. Even if it's a small thing I need to know" I tried to persuade more.

Rosis still looked hesitant.

I sighed "fine if you don't want to talk about it. I won't force you. But you remember one thing, Delaney caused a big matter in the past and now history can repeat itself" I got up from the couch and walked towards the door.

I was about to push the door open when Rosis called out "Mistress please wait"

I turned around and looked at her waiting for her to continue.

Rosis got up and took a deep breath "I will tell you everything I know"

Jenny's POV

"Are you done?" I looked up and found dad removing his chef attire.

"Uh....yeah, it's just a simple account dad. Nothing's hard" I smiled.

Dad sighed "Bridge will take tonight's shift. I am taking a break"

"Are you okay dad? I mean you never took a break so .."

"I am fine" dad chuckled. "don't worry. Bridge wanted to take tonight's work and he almost pleaded so I couldn't say no to him"

I laughed "he is really interested in cooking?"

"I guess so. He has been with me a year already. Almost like clinging" dad let out a laugh.

"It's good then. You are old already. So you also need to take some rest for your health" I said closing the account book.

"Jenny"

"Yeah?"

"Are you happy?"

I frowned "what kind of question is that dad? "

"I just..."

"Dad, is there something wrong? I mean you look troubled today. What happened?" I asked as I touched his shoulder.

He shook his head "no it's nothing" he smiled at me "I couldn't give you a good life. After your mom died we are stuck here in the pack kitchen. Besides since my mate is dead my wolf is weak and couldn't transform anymore" he sighed. There was sadness flashing in his eyes "and you are born with weak health. Your wolf is not strong like others and because of that you couldn't train yourself normally. I just feel that you are suffering here because of me"

My eyes moistened and I shook my head "dad what are you talking about? You are thinking unnecessary things. Please don't think like that and burden your heart. I am happy. Besides, I love cooking and there's no problem living like this. And about training then it's hard. They are competing with each other like enemies and I don't like it. I feel more secure to live here and try new recipes"

Dad looked at me with small smile "how lucky I am to have you as my daughter"

I laughed "because I am cute"

Dad chuckled and patted my head "you naughty girl always takes things in a fun way. When you are going to grow up"

"When it's time, I will grow up. But now I just want to live as your little daughter" I squealed and hugged him.

"Silly girl" dad laughed.

After talking to him I walked inside the kitchen. It's already evening so I wanted to grab some coffee for myself. I have a habit of drinking coffee in the morning and evening so when the sun sets my heart craves for it. I saw Bridge inside the kitchen.

"Hi Uncle" I smiled as I walked in.

"Hi Jenny"

"You are early here" I said as I grabbed a coffee mug.

"I thought of preparing the dinner menu. You want coffee?"

"Yeah, cravings you know"

He laughed "right. I saw an Italian dish in the fridge. Who brought it?"

I stopped pouring milk when I heard him. I turned my head to look at him "uh....you tried?"

He nodded "it tastes good. I am amazed. I was wondering who ordered it"

I felt blush on my cheeks "um....that I made it"

"Oh that's right- what?" Bridge looked surprised "you did?"

"Yeah, I had free time so I saw it online and tried it" I replied shyly. I really didn't expect him to try it.

"Good, good" he laughed "I never thought you are so good in cooking"

"It was a first trial uncle please don't joke"

"I am not. It was really good. You should practice more you know"

I smiled "thanks for the application uncle"

"Okay, I have to prepare for dinner" he rubbed his hand and looked at the vegetables on the table.

"What's the main menu?" I asked as I stirred my coffee with a spoon.

"I will go with beef"

"Oh, that's great. I am leaving uncle" I said and walked out of the kitchen and sat in the dining area.

Now I can enjoy my drink slowly and peacefully. I thought and took a sip. It's good. So favourable. I closed my eyes enjoying the feeling.

"Yeah that's right, I will get it and then-"

My eyes shoot open at the voice. As expected the person stood holding the phone near his ear but his eyes stuck on me.

"Inform you" saying this he cut the call. He slowly walked forward.

"I was here to get some drinks but never thought you would be waiting for me," he said as a smirk played on his lips.

I stood up and put the mug on the table "I am just drinking my coffee"

"Oh" he walked closer "so you didn't miss me?"

"What are you doing?" I stepped back as he leaned more closer.

"You don't know?" He asked as his eyes hardened.

I pushed myself back but stopped when my back collided with the tiled wall. I bit my lips as I cursed in my heart.

"I will see where you can run now" he came closer and put his hand on each side of me.

"Have you gone crazy? " I hissed.

"Crazy?" He laughed "I went crazy the moment I saw you. Tell me who's fault is it to keep me hanging in the middle?"

I bit my lips angrily as I threw a hard glare "go and fuck your girlfriends who will be glad to warm your bed instead of disturbing me here" I snapped.

He smirked "why? Jealous darling?"

I glared at him "don't call me that"

"I can call you anything I want. What are you going to do about it?" He challenged.

"Ryan Wolf you are such a manwhore. You go fucking around with other woman as you please and now here you are flirting with me. You should have some shame on you for your act" I snapped and pushed him away. Glaring I walked past him but before I could step a few steps I felt my body being pulled back to a hard chest.

"You think I care about those women? They are a fucking gold diggers only trying to hook up for money. But it's not completely my fault because you didn't stop me. You just stood there watching me going with those women yet didn't say anything why? Now you are angry because I slept with them? You are throwing all the faults on me now?"

I wiggled "let me go"

"No, today I am not going to stop. I have had enough of it" he growled.

"Shut up. What do you think you are doing?" I tried to free myself from his arm.

"Not so fast darling. There's no way you are going to get away from me now. You are mine" he said before kissing my cheek.

"You bastard, how dare you kiss me with that filthy mouth of yours" I snapped angrily.

He chuckled "filthy? You like it darling. And for your good information I am totally clean if you fearing about that"

"Who wants to have anything with you?" I hissed.

"You will have everything with me baby. Of course your wolf is purring with delight yet you are trying to refuse huh"

I huffed "I am not interested in going through any argument with you. Let me go"

"No, I have been waiting for it already. And you are ignoring me for whole fucking 2 month. Now there's no way I am letting you leave my arm" Ryan said as he tightened his hold.

"Go back to your sluts" I hissed again.

"Shh.... Curses do not suit your mouth baby. The only thing that's suits your sweet mouth is my name" he said then pressed his lips on my ear "specially when you moan"

My eyes went wide with his shameless act, "you....how dare you?"

"I dare everything. You are my fucking mate" he growled then picked me up in a bridal style.

"What are you doing?" I gasped and held his shoulder for support.

"I'm claiming my mate, what's the problem in that?" He asked as he started to walk out of the dining area.

"Ryan, are you out of your mind? What will others say?"

He frowned "why the fuck would I care about others?"

I couldn't think of any excuses as my heart started to beat faster "I don't want to be ridiculed by others saying that I am a playboy's mate"

He looked down then chuckled "don't worry darling, before they could say that I will pluck their tongue and play with it"

My jaw dropped as I heard him. I know he is strong and too arrogant to handle. I also know about his playboy ways but in the end he is still my mate. I have been ignoring him since I got to know about it. I hated his playboy ways and because I refuse him he plays it in front of me to make me jealous. And to be honest I am. Ryan took me in his room and placed me on his bed.

He smiled charmingly "I have been dreaming about this night for such a long time" . He was about to kiss me but I stopped him.

"Wait, I don't want to sleep on this bed"

He frowned "why?"

"I don't want to share your bed which you shared with another woman," I snapped.

He chuckled "I never brought any woman to this bed darling. It was all outside with a card of one night stand. And fuck none of them could not handle me nor ever able to satisfy me. Before coming to an end then run away not looking back"

I rolled my eyes "lier"

"It's true" he pecked my lips "You are my mate and my wolf will only be happy with you. No one can satisfy the need of me and my wolf other than you" he joined his forehead with me.

"Ryan"

"Yes"

"It's my first time," I said shyly.

"I know and that's makes me so proud"

"You can't look at other woman after today"

He laughed "I can never get enough of you darling let alone looking at others"

"Shut it" I pushed him but he didn't even move.

"I love you" he said before dropping his head and sealing my lips.
