Savannah's POV
I woke up alone again. I turned my head to the side only to find the place empty. I groaned as I sat up on bed. Hardwick's leaving me in the morning is getting frequent. I really need to talk to that man. Last night he didn't let me think for a second before playing with me with his ruthless hands making me cum all over again. He was so passionate that I couldn't help but just give in to his need and desire.
~ He makes us alive ~ Red said in my mind.
~ Definitely ~ I couldn't deny either.
He is our mate, the man of our life. Naturally he has all right to dominate and claim us as his and I must say Hardwick is showing this too clearly. His every move leaves me breathless and burned in desire. He never failed to show us how much he needed us, how much he craved for us.
"That man left me alone, today I am definitely gonna talk to him about this matter" I determined before getting up from bed and grabbing clean clothes to change.
Once I was done, I went out of the tent and frowned when I saw a few people had circled around the corner. What happened suddenly? They were whispering while looking at something. Curiosity hit me so hard that before I could stop my body moved towards the crowd. I pushed myself in and what I saw made my eyes wide. What the fuck?
Reese was lying on the ground with her half revealing night dress. The dress was too short to cover her body as the hem of the dress lifted up, almost showing her inner thigh. As far I know she is not someone who will sleep like this on the ground that too almost wearing nothing. This thought is too outrageous but the scene in front of me forcing me to believe in reality.
"What's happening?" Suddenly a rough voice rolled among the crowd, making me smirk. Sure enough Avan's frowning face showed up in the crowd but that frowned changed into shock immediately.
"What the hell?" He walked forward before squatting down and holding Reese's arm.
"Reese?" He shook her body. But the person on the ground didn't move at all.
Is she dead? Nah ... I shook my head. For her kind of a person will not die so easily.
"Reese" Avan slapped her face as he called out her name. Reese's eyelashes flattered as she groaned and opened her eyes.
"Avan....ahhh....." She screamed out when she saw the crowd. She jerked her body and pulled her not so long cloth down trying to cover her naked thighs. "What's happening?"
"What's happening?" Avan gritted his teeth "what the hell are you doing here lying on the ground with this kind of dress?"
Reese looked shocked as she glanced around the crowd "I.... I don't know. Last night something happened and I .... can't remember anything"
I folded my arms and looked at her drama. Didn't remember? Sure enough it was the fastest lie she could think at this time. Trying to look all innocent and become the victim of the situation to get the sympathy of others. This kind of scene is not new to me. In the past she used to use this trick and push all the blame on my head to suffer.
"Don't know?" Avan's anger could be heard in his voice "you are saying someone put you here like this? Are you trying to make yourself a fool? You are..." Avan shook his head then got up and pulled her up with him. "We will talk later" then he dragged her away with him. The crowd disappeared as the drama finally ended. I sighed and about to turn when a pair of arms sneaked around my waist.
"Watched enough?" The hot breath fanned my cheeks. I turned around abruptly and frowned at the person who was looking so fresh and smelled like heaven.
"You" I poked my index finger in the middle of his chest "I have some dealings with you Mr"
He looked at my fingers then smirked "oh, how do you want to deal with me love?" He leaned his head a little "should I strip myself before you so you can deal with me without any problem?"
My eyes widened at his words. This...man. Does he know the word shame also exists in the world?
I pushed his head away "no, don't try to change the topic. You and me are going to talk something serious today"
"Serious?" Hardwick frowned "what happened?"
"You leaving me alone in bed is becoming your habit mister, you should check on this matter before I finally made up my mind to keep you at arm's length" I threatened.
"This was the serious topic you were suggesting?" Hardwick raised an eyebrow.
I nodded "of course"
He threw his head back before laughing out loud. What happened? I was serious yet he is taking it as a joke? Do I look like a joker to him? This shameless man. I struggled to move away but he tightened his grip around me and even pulled me closer to his body.
"What?"
I glared at him "how dare you laugh like that? Do you think I was joking?"
"But I didn't wanted to wake you up when you were sleeping like a baby, looking so beautiful and innocent and almost driving me hard enough to control myself"
I felt my cheeks burnt. Damn this man and his words. Always manage to melt down the anger I put efforts to raise in my chest. Without saying anything I turned my head to the other side.
"Or...do you want me to ravish you early in the morning so that we both can enjoy the pleasure of the morning light?"
I slapped his arm harshly "shut up. Don't be a pervert"
He smirked "since I met you, you already drove me to the end point of perversion"
"Oh my god, talking to you is useless humph" I pursed my lips.
He laughed again "today is the last day of the event"
"What?" My jaw dropped on the ground. Last day? It came so fast before I could know. It felt like I just came yesterday and today it's already the end of the game?
"You look disappointed"
I looked at him "I have not participated yet"
"You can do it today if you want," he assured. I nodded.
"May be, I can't leave without trying any game"
"All these games are childish, how come you are so interested in this?" He questioned.
I rolled my eyes "you can't say that. Your team is already trying their butt off to win"
"They are just addicted to winning so it's their problem," he shrugged.
I narrowed my eyes at him "are you trying to completely draw a line between you and your own pack?"
"Is it that obvious?" He asked, smirking. I rolled my eyes again. Like really? He really thinks he can do that? Which Alpha separate themselves from their own pack like this?
"Whatever, today I am gonna join the game but before that I need to fill my stomach" I said rubbing my tummy.
"Come on" he grabbed my hand and almost dragged me with him.
"Where?"
"Didn't you say you are hungry?"
"But that...." Thinking about those foods, I sighed inwardly.
"Do you like waffles and burritos?" He asked suddenly, making my eyes widened.
"You bought them?" My voice filled with excitement.
He smiled "only if you are willing to share the last bite"
Without thinking I threw myself in his arms. This man, oh my god. He is truly incredible.
==========
An hour later the game of the last day was set. As today is the final play, the elders wanted to make it kind of memorable and a little dangerous too. Shiny wanted to join it but I pushed her out of the way before listing my name while Shiny was sulking like a kid.
"Are you sure you want to join it? Today's game is kind of dangerous" Devak frowned.
