Claiming His Tempting Mate

Chapter 30

Reese's POV

*CRASH*

I watched the floor which was covered in shattered prices of antics in the room. But my anger did not

lesen yet it feels like with each passing second it's increasing. My chest was burning like a fire and it's

about to explode like lava.

"Fuck you Avan" I screamed pulled my hair roughly.

"Reese '' Mom's scream echoed in the room and I felt her footsteps behind me.

"What's all these? What do you think you are doing?" She gasped.

I turned around quickly "what do you want me to do mom? Do I have any choice? Avan does not want

to believe me yet he was giving me a disgusting look"

"How many times I have to remind you that no you can't use violence to achieve anything" she frowned

"have you ate everything I taught you since childhood?"

"Mom, this time the situation is different. I saw the way he was looking at me. Earlier even if the matter

was big he never looked at me in that way. He was looking at me like ...like he was feeling disgusted

with me, like he regretted everything that happened between us" I shook my head violently "no, I can

never accept the fact of Avan hating me. If he started to feel like this then that bitch with take him away

from me"

"Nothing will happen like that" Mom patted my shoulder "you are overthinking. Maybe right now Avan is

angry and maybe he is disappointed a little but there's no way he will hate you. And even if something

goes wrong, don't you have your last card to use?"

I looked at her. I almost forgot about that thing. But even if I have it, thinking of Avan avoiding me hurts.

For him, just to be with him, I have given my mate bond away. I had to sacrifice my real mate just to be

with Avan. Suddenly John's smiling face flashed in my mind. He was handsome and strong but I have

already given up so there's no point in thinking about him. I shook my head.

"Reese" mom.shook me making me look at her.

"What?" I

"I have been talking to you. Where are you so lost?" She frowned.

"Nothing" I shook my head "what were you saying?"

"I was asking where were you lying outside back in the camp? You are not someone who will do such a

thing. Avan was accusing you so there must be some reason"

I pursed my lips. No one knew about it but I also know mom won't let it go unless I tell her everything.

Besides, I need to tell her the actual reason so that she could help me with it. I sighed and sat down on

bed.

"I found my mate in the event" I replied slowly.

"You found your mate?" Mom looked confused at first then her eyes widened "you ..what? Your real

mate?" She gasped loudly.

I nodded.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" She rushed and sat beside me "what happened? Who is he?"

"His name was John and he was a beta. He was handsome and also strong"

"You..... Your mate is beta?

"Yes" I couldn't help but think about John. On that day he looked so hurt when he was rejecting me. I

knew it was best for us. I haven't saved my virginity for my mate but devoted myself to another male.

Besides, even if I went with him, I would not be able to live with him happily. From the start I have Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

always admired Avan and wanted to be with him, even knowing that he is not my mate.

"What did you do?" Mom asked again.

"Our bond is broken mom" I sighed. Even if I don't want him, he was my mate, the real one.

"You....Reese, does that mean that you went through the rejection pain on that night?" Mom held my

hand as she asked.

It still felt so painful. I couldn't utter a word but just nodded my head.

"Oh, my poor girl" she pulled me for a hug. "I know it hurts. But darling, if you want to..."

"No" I stopped her, before she could finish talking. "I have already decided mom, I can't back away

now" I broke the hug and stood up "since childhood I have been dreaming of myself sitting in the

position of Luna. I can never back away from it after working this hard"

"Are you sure?" Mom asked.

"Yes, besides if I went with John, he would still be living as beta and that was the fact that will never

change, no matter what. I can't back away from my goal after coming this far" I clenched my fist. No

matter how much it hurts, I won't give up what I have right now. I need to clear the misunderstanding

between Avan and me first. I can't wait anymore.

"I want to meet Avan" I mumbled "I have to see him now" I said and turned around to walk towards the

door.

"Reese, you can't go right now. It's not appropriate right now" mom protested.

"I am not going to stay here. He has to listen to me. I can't risk anymore" I barked and was about to

walk when I saw dad walking inside the room. He looked at the mess then towards me.

"Where are you going?" He asked.

"I am going to meet Avan"

"You are not going anywhere" he shook his head.

"Why?" I frowned "why can't I meet him? I have to go to him so that I can clear the misunderstanding

between us" I stepped forward only to be blocked by dad.

"Didn't you hear what I said?"

"Dad, please. I need to meet Avan" I almost pleaded.

"No, you are not going anywhere" he said through gritted teeth "You are going to stay in here, in your

room like an obedient girl. And I don't want any argument"

I clenched my fist "no, I have to meet him"

"He is not here"

I frowned. Not here? Then where is he?

"Where did he go? I have to talk to him" I tried to push dad away and walk towards the door. But before

I could reach dad grasped my arm and pulled me back.

"I SAID YOU ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE"

I jumped in shock when dad roared suddenly. He always was a gentle one and never raised his voice.

But today he shouted at me, for the first time.

"Farid, what are you doing?" Mom asked from behind.

"Shut up" dad glared at her turning around "it's all because of your guidance that she has become an

unruly one. That girl were more obedient than her"

My eyes widened. Did he just compare me with Savannah? He never did before. Then why?

Dad turned to me and harshly shoved me towards mom "you both are going to stay here. If you even

dared to step out of this room then you will face my wrath" then he walked out closing the door with

thud.

I felt my head spinning as my vision blurred suddenly. What's happening? Before I felt my body fall,

mom's anxious voice reached my ear.

"Reese"

Savannah's POV

"Is your packing done?" Mom asked as she entered my room. I smiled when I saw her.

"Yeah, he told me that I don't need to pack clothes"

"May be he has arranged it already for you" she smiled and walked towards me "I am glad that you are

given a chance to have mate but I am also sad that our reunion is just too short" her voice cracked as

she become emotional.

"As a mother, I really don't want you to leave us. Even your dad is sad about it. Though he looked all

fine on the surface but I can see the pain in his eyes"

"Mom" my eyes brimming with tears as I hugged her "I don't know what to say. Since childhood, I never

knew how it felt to have a real family because those who adopted me never showed it. I was glad I left

that place and met you all. But now I don't know how to describe my feelings. Because this time my

leaving is causing me pain" then I sobbed.

Mom stroked my back gently "my dear, it's fate. If you were a normal female then you would marry one

day and leave your family to start your own and now even in our tribe, you have to leave and form your

own family with your mate" slowly she broke the hug. Though there was pain in her eyes, her face was

blooming with a smile.

"I am so glad you got Hardwick as your mate. He is strong and Possessive but he knows how to deal

with things and is also in love with you. I can be assured that he will keep you happy for the rest of your

life"

"Mom"

"Hear me out first" she smiled "I know living in a completely strange place is not easy. But with time you

will be able to cope up with every situation. But what you need to understand is that, life is not a bed of

roses and a small thing could destroy everything you have" she reached out and cupped my cheeks

"my dear, you need to believe in yourself and trust your mate. No matter what happens, never let your

doubt blood and ruin your sanity. Doubts always create misunderstandings which lead to the

destruction of any relationship. I want you to clear your doubts before it lead you to wrong way"

I nodded my head. I know why she is advising me. But I am willing to listen to anything she has to say. I

never knew this kind of feeling but today I got why moms are daughter's first best friend.

"Hardwick is an Alpha so once you get in the pack it will make you the Luna, the mistress of the pack.

As a Luna, it's your responsibility to help your mate rule the pack. You are the source of his strength

and always try to be like that. Sometimes things might get confusing but never let yourself doubt on

your mate with rumours or gossips. If you want to know then just ask him personally. He is your mate,

so he won't lie to you or if he does then give him time and respect his choice. He will never do anything

to hurt you. Just try to understand him, from his own viewpoint too. Communication, trust,

understanding, respect and forgiveness is the foundation of a relationship. When you are into it, you

have to give all of you to keep the bond. It's a hard work, but this is how you have to navigate your own

journey"

I smiled at her. She has told me so many things that I never knew. But after listening to her, I realised

how much I needed this advice. I have seen how my parents stayed so loving all the time. It was

because they have the understanding and communication and respect they need.

"And also, love is important for the bond in a relationship but other things have an equal role too. At

some point of time, love have to tested but if understand your bond and your mate then nothing can

break it"

I nodded again "thank you mom, I really needed it. I have learnt so many things that I never knew

existed"

She laughed "as long as you understand it my dear. But don't forget, if things doesn't goes well then

Snow Moon will always be there waiting for you"

"Thanks mom. For telling me so many things" I hugged her.

"Wow, so emotional" Tanea's voice reach my ear and I looked up only to find her standing on door

steps.

"I came to invite you two for a tea party yet who knew that it will be I who gets emotional" she added

walking inside.

"Such a drama queen" mom shook her head smiling.

"Come one, let's have some tea time, Sav will be leaving soon and I don't know when I can see her

again. That man is too possessive, he even didn't even let Sav hug Dev" Tanea laughed. I felt blush a

crawling on my face.

"Don't tease her like that" mom said but she has a teasing look on her face.

Mom, are you even on my side?

Tanea dragged us outside where she set a small tea table in the garden. We settled outside and

poured tea for ourselves.

"I have ordered this popular Yorkshire Tea, just for today" Tanea raised her tea cup grinning.

"You really worked hard on this planning," mom replied.

Tanea nodded "I had to, I am bored here. And now that Sav will be going with her mate, I will be lonely

here" she pouted her lips.

"Did you forget that you have a mate here, woman"

Tanea rolled her eyes and I chuckled loudly. Mom smirked as she took a sip on her tea. Soon Devak

came into view looking totally pissed.

"What did you say just now?" He aske, looking at Tanea.

"Can't I have a peaceful tea moment for sometime?" Tanea replied to him.

"Woman, don't taste my patience here" Devak frowned.

"Oh you still have patience? I thought you didn't know the meaning of that word" Tanea mocked.

"This tea tastes good," Mom said, placing the tea cup on the table.

I chuckled again and took a sip.

"Why are you all having tea here?" Dev asked.

"Sav will be leaving soon so I thought to have some girls time and ordered this Yorkshire Tea for it"

Tanea said pointing towards the tea.

Something flashed in his eyes before he looked away. He didn't say anything but silently walked away. I

looked at his back and suddenly I felt sourness rising in my heart. Teasing him was the best thing I do

when I get bored but he never complained about it. Once I leave, won't I miss this, him, getting angry or

teasing him?

Mom sighed "he is really sad" she looked at the way where Dev disappeared. "He even argued with

Micah not to let you go"

I gasped "he did?" I couldn't believe it. Dev really did it?

Mom chuckled "your dad scolded him so much"

Tanea smiled "he was sulking all night"

I shook my head but my eyes suddenly got watery. Oh god, I am really going to leave the pack. With

each passing time, it's making my heart race with nervousness and also excitement. I don't know what I

am going to do. On one hand It's painful to look at the sadness of my family and on the other hand my

mate, my destiny waiting for me with open arms.

I looked at the sky and cursed down. Fuck, being a girl is really a hard to live specially when it's time to

chose.
