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"
