Claiming His Tempting Mate novel Chapter 63

Savannah's POV

"Baby, she is the pack doctor. Since you are pregnant she will be guiding you until you give birth" Hardwick said gently.

"I am OB, ah I mean An obstetrician. You can rest assured about your health and the baby. I will take a good care of you" Sadie smiled as she placed the medical box on the table "I need to take your blood samples so that I can perform a test to check your pregnancy status"

I nodded "please go ahead"

"Thank you" she opened the box then pulled out a syringe and small tube bottle. She took some cotton then added a liquid on it before rubbing it on my arm.

"Fist your fingers" she said as she checked my pulse then inserted the needle of the syringe in my skin. I hissed as the needle sting in my skin.

"Can't you do that gently" Hardwick growled beside me. He rubbed my back gently.

"I can't help it" Sadie rolled her eyes then pressed the cotton ball where she inserted the tip of the needle then pulled out the needle carefully. She rubbed the area and told me to fold my arm. I did as she said.

"I will give you the results in the evening" she put back the blood sample in her box before looking at me "you don't have to worry. Once I check your status I will see if I can perform ultrasound"

"Can't it be done soon?" Hardwick asked.

"No, it depends on how long she is pregnant. Even if we do, you can't see anything at all if your baby is in the shape of a small bud" she laughed, making Hardwick roll his eyes.

I looked at them and smiled "you both look so free to each other?"

"You have told her Alpha?" Sadie looked at him. While Hardwick gave her a poker face.

She rolled her eyes then smiled at me "we are a good friends you know"

"Good friends?" I expected that. No one in the pack dares to speak so freely to Hardwick. They don't even dare to look at him. But Sadie didn't even care about Hardwick's growl just now, like she is familiar with such actions.

"She is Ryan's sister," Hardwick replied.

I turned to him "I never knew that he has a sister who is also a pack doctor"

"We are not biological actually" Sadie said smiling "I am the daughter of Ryan's dad's close friend. Because of war my parents died and I was taken here. I was 14 years that time and from that on I am living here"

"Now that makes sense," I nodded.

"She is weird, don't give much attention to her" Hardwick whispered.

"Hey" Sadie barked and I chuckled.

"Is your work done?" He asked.

"Why?" Sadie looked at him, narrowing her eyes.

"You can just get lost"

She rolled her eyes "not gonna happen. Whether you like it or not I am gonna stick to Luna like glue. So you don't really have much choice here" she smirked, making him groan.

"Fuck off" Hardwick glared at her angrily. Instead of getting scared Sadie smiled charmingly then picked up her medical box.

"I need to test the blood. So I will take my leave now. Once I get the results I will provide you with required supplements" then she left hurriedly.

I turned to Hardwick who was still sulking. I chuckled looking at his face "you never said you have such a lovely lady as a doctor"

"Is she someone to be proud of?" He frowned.

I laughed "looking at her I would like to think in that way"

He rolled his eyes "don't talk about her now. She is really crazy sometimes"

"Oh, then what do you want to talk about?" I smiled.

"Our baby" he placed his hand on my belly "is growing in there. My little pup" he grinned.

My little pup~ it sounds so great.

I looked at his smiling face. He looked so happy and content. Looks like the news of my pregnancy had him go insane with happiness. I never thought that this pregnancy would make him so happy.

"Hardwick, are you happy?" I asked, looking at his expression.

He looked up "of course I am. I have been dreaming of having my own family. Now it's finally going to be fulfilled, how wouldn't I be happy?"

"I can't express my happiness in words, '' he added, shaking his head. Before I knew it he pulled me for a hug. I snuggled into his warm embrace leaning on his hard chest.

"Thank you for giving this huge gift"

"Thank you too"

He kissed my forehead lovingly. His warm lips lingered on it for a minute before it pulled away. I looked up and could see the glee shimmering in his eyes. We were only two and now soon we are going to be three.

"I need to inform mom dad too"

He nodded "okay"

I was about to pick up my phone when the door burst open revealing Ryan and Jenny. Jenny was holding a flower bouquet and a smile on her face.

"Wow, wow, wow. So the soon to be momma is up" Ryan said grinning widely.

"Congratulations Mistress" Jenny handed me the flowers.

"Thank you" I smiled.

"I thought I could beat him but I never thought he will be this fast" Ryan grinned then smirked at Hardwick.

"Huh, beat what?" I frowned.

Ryan gave a knowing look to Hardwick while Hardwick just gave a raised eyebrow.

"What's happening?" I frowned.

Ryan smirked at me "Luna, soon there will be little Alpha running around the whole pack. I thought I could beat Alpha in this matter but who could have known that he would beat me first. I must say Alpha is really fast"

My face flushed as I blushed.

"Looks like you are too free to talk about this nonsense" Hardwick told him with a poker face.

"I am working too hard, how could I be free?" Ryan retorted.

"Oh, what are you working at?" Hardwick raised an eyebrow.

"Making babies," Ryan replied. This time Jenny blushed. Her face turned red suddenly. She bit her lips and threw a glare at Ryan who was grinning shamelessly.

"What are you saying? Is that something to joke about?" She slapped Ryan's arm angrily.

"What? I am telling the truth. See, even Luna is pregnant. When are you going to give me that good news too?" He frowned.

"You are ridiculous. I can't win talking to you" Jenny huffed. She turned to me "I am sorry. He is kind of shameless" saying that she glared at Ryan before walking out of the room.

"Hey, how can you leave me like that? Jen, wait" Ryan looked restless "I am leaving now" then he ran away.

"He really got a load in his hand" Hardwick commented.

"Jenny was so embarrassed right now" I shook my head.

Hardwick rolled his eyes "that man always talk like this without thinking"

"Jenny was angry"

"Let them handle their own matters. Besides, Ryan was quite fascinated about having kids. That man torturing the poor girl whenever he gets chance" he smirked.

I rolled my eyes "do you really have to say that bluntly? You have no concern for Jenny"

"My concern is only for you, my love. And I don't need to worry about Jenny. She has Ryan to do that for her and you know she is in good hands so even if he torture her it won't hurt her" Hardwick shrugged.

"Fine, I won't talk about them anymore. I need to call mom and tell her the news" I smiled. I really want to see their reactions. Tanea is pregnant and now if I tell her that I am also pregnant then what will be their reaction?

"They will be happy to hear that" he said looking at me.

I nodded "Tanea is also pregnant. It added elation in their lives. And I am really excited to see their reactions when they will know about my pregnancy" I grinned at the end.

"Since you are so excited then go for it" he smiled.

"Right" I grabbed my phone.

"But before you do that I want to tell you something"

"Yeah, what is it?" I asked, looking at him.

"I am done arranging your crowning ceremony. Since you are pregnant I need to speed up"

"You have arranged it? When?"

"This eclipse. It is the best day to announce your crowning. And we can announce about your pregnancy to the whole pack"

"This eclipse? When is it?"

"2 days later"

My eyes widened "what? 2 days later? Isn't it too fast?"

2 days later? Oh my god everything is going so fast? I am not even prepared for it.

"Fast? How come it become so fast? It's already too late. I should have done it long ago instead of waiting for it" he frowned.

"But just 2 days later?"

"Yeah, I just can't wait to tell everyone that you are mine. My Luna, my queen" he leaned in whispering in my ear.

"I am already yours. And everyone knows that too" I shook my head. This man is always behaving so possessive.

"I know but I still need to do it. Everyone should know that you are mine. Inside the pack, outside the pack. Everyone needs to know it" Hardwick's voice was so firm and manipulative that it made my heart race erotically. I looked into his dominating orbs and felt myself getting lost in it.

"But-"

"There's no buts my love. All you need to do is get ready for the ceremony. As I said, I am not gonna wait anymore. No matter what. Everything is already decided"

I sighed. I can't win with this man. He knows what he is doing. And I know he won't stop until he does whatever he decides. So it's a waste to talk about it anymore.

"Okay since you have already done the preparation I have nothing to say"

"Good. Now take a rest. I will prepare your evening meal"

I nodded and he kissed my temple before walking out of the room. I watched him leaving then sighed. He looked so excited about this ceremony. I don't want to argue with him about it. Looking at his calm and happy face all my doubts and unwillingness ran away. Since he wants it then let it be. Besides whether it is 2 days later or a month later the results will be the same. So instead of worrying about it I need to worry about myself now. I have more important works to do. Thinking about things I looked at the phone screen then smiled widely.

=========

"Hi mom. I hope everything is well there" I said through the phone.

"Everything's fine here sweetheart. What about you? Are you okay?" Mom asked.

"I am good. I mean actually I wanted to talk about it"

"Savannah what happened to you dear?" Mom's voice turned concern.

I chuckled "don't worry mom. I am fine. And what I wanted to say is something that will make you happy"

"Really what is it?" Mom asked.

I chuckled "mom, I .... I am pregnant"

"What?" Mom almost screamed in my ear.

"Mom, relax" I smiled.

"Honey, is it true? You are pregnant?"

"Yes mom" I nodded

"When did you know this?"

"Um.... Just today"

"Oh my god ..... I am going to be a grandma.....oh my god, oh my god" mom yelled "I can't believe it .... It's such great news sweetheart. I still can't believe that you are...... Oh god .... really pregnant"

"I never thought that it would be this fast. But here I am telling you about it" I chuckled.

"Whatever it is, the main point is you are pregnant. Oh, I need to share this news with everyone" mom sounded so excited.

"Of course mom," I laughed. "And there's another thing that I want to tell you"

"There is more? What is it?"

"Hardwick planned to hold my crowning ceremony. So you, dad and everyone needed to be here" I smiled.

"Crowning? He is officially announcing?"

"Yes, he said he couldn't wait anymore and wanted to tell everyone that I am Luna of the Dark Forest"

"It's great. It's like a double joy my dear. Don't worry we can never miss your important day anyways"

"Thank you mom"

"Okay I will hang up now. I need to tell everyone about your pregnancy"

"Mom, can you please keep this little secret? I mean just the closest ones to know about it?"

"What happened there?"

"Well..... The situation here is quite gloomy. I don't feel like revealing this news to outsiders" I sighed.

"I can understand. Don't worry"

"Thanks mom"

"Take care sweetheart. You need to care for yourself more"

"Yes mom, love you"

"Love you too sweetheart"

Tanea's POV

"Oh god, I can't eat anymore. What are you trying to do?" I glared at my husband who was trying to force feed me.

"You haven't eaten much. You need more protein and calcium in your body" Devak frowned.

"I know that. You don't have to lecture like those doctors" I rolled my eyes.

"I am just worried that you will be in poor health. The doctor said, you need more of everything during this time," he said with worry flashing in his eyes.

I chuckled "don't worry, I am already in good health and I am on this pregnancy diet so you don't have to pressure yourself okay" I smiled. My husband is going crazy about my pregnancy. He is so worried that it almost made me insane with frustration.

"Devak you are again forcing her to eat" dad walked in and sat down on the couch near us.

"Dad, I am just following the doctor's advice," Devak replied.

"You are little overreacting my son" dad chuckled "if you continue to feed her like that, the baby will be more bigger and it will make Tanea uncomfortable"

"Really?" Devak looked shocked then he stared at my belly where the little baby bump could be seen.

I smiled as I looked at him. Though there's so saying to prove his words but just simple sentence made Davak restless. He looked up and asked.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

I laughed. He really took dad's words seriously and it affected him. He took it so seriously that I can see the tension rising on his face. So I held his hand and smiled warmly.

"Don't be so worried okay, I am fine"

"Really?"

I nodded again. Just then mom walked in the living room with a huge smile on her face.

"Honey" she called as she sat beside dad.

"What made you so happy?" Dad asked, frowning.

"I have big news to share. I just can't suppress the excitement" mom grinned.

"What is it?" Dad smiled.

Mom took a breath "the news is Hardwick is holding crowning ceremony for Savannah"

My eyes widened "wow, that's great"

"That man is really something. He is kind of fast" dad nodded.

"There is something more honey" mom smiled.

Dad frowned "there's another?"

Mom nodded "the pain happiness is that I am going to be a grandmother"

"I know that. But is that your surprise?" Dad asked, frowning.

Mom rolled her eyes "you are not understanding. What I want to say is I am going to be a grandmother for the second time"

"That's not new. Tanea is preg-" dad stopped in the middle when suddenly his eyes went wide "what did you say, second time?"

My eyes widened when realisation hit me. My body jumped with excitement "mom, did you mean that?"

Mom looked at me and smiled "yes"

"Oh my god" I covered my mouth and squealed.

"What?" Devak frowned.

"You still didn't get it? Mom is saying that Savannah is pregnant" I told him with a wide smile.

"WHAT?" Both dad and Devak jumped shouting.

"Yes, Savannah just called me and told me about it" mom nodded.

"My princess is pregnant? I am going to be a grandfather again" dad laughed suddenly "good, good. As I said Hardwick is really fast in everything"

Mom rolled her eyes and slapped his arm playfully "don't joke. Don't forget about yourself"

"Come on. I am so happy right now" dad grinned "I never thought my daughter would give me this great news so soon. Good, good"

"Fuck, that bastard made her pregnant already" Devak growled.

I rolled my eyes "what's your problem! This is happy moment"

"What? How can he make her pregnant so soon? They just started to live together yet he couldn't even wait"

"Why can't he do that?" I frowned "Sav is his mate and they love each other. So it's not a crime"

Devak frowned "my sister is still young. How can he make her pregnant so soon"

"He made her pregnant just like you made me pregnant. I don't know why you always hold so much grudges against him?" I glared at him.

"I was just worried about Sav"

"You don't have to. Hardwick is there for that. What you needed to do is worry about me" I huffed.

"Okay, let's finish this argument here" mom raised her hands. "Savannah invited us to her crowning ceremony. So we need to go"

I grinned "great. I am already feeling so bored in the pack. It is a great chance to explore outside, especially Sav's pack. I have never seen Dark Forest other than hearing the name"

"Lets make arrangements then. We can't be late for our own daughter's crowning ceremony" mom nodded.

I grinned feeling excited inside. This will be the first time I am visiting Dark Forest. I am already so excited that I can hardly control my emotions. Sav is pregnant and this added the happiness in double. I never thought that I would hear this news so soon. But it's also good. Our children can grow up together.

"Why are you so happy?" Devak poked my head.

"Why can't I be? It's Sav's great day anyways"

He sighed "I am still worried"

"Since you are so doubtful then ask Sav by yourself if she is happy or not? If she is not then we are here for her isn't it? Besides I don't think she won't be happy anyway. Hardwick loves and cares for her so much. Just be happy for her okay?" I tried to persuade.

He looked at me for sometime then nodded "right".
