Claiming His Tempting Mate novel Chapter 5

Avan's POV

"You have to attend the event tonight. Even if there was not a stable formation we couldn't miss this opportunity either" dad said with his serious tone.

"I don't know what ungrateful things we have done that we are facing in such a situation" I heard mom say. She couldn't hide the lament in her tone "my son has lost his actual mate after the rejection and now even if he already taken the throne, the position is not stable "

Dad shook his head "there's nothing that could be done. The only thing that we arrange to avoid misfortune is to get along with other packs and build a solid relationship. We have been facing numerous attacks over the past years and it has weakened our power and now it's affecting our position in the list. We can't keep up with the position then it will only mean that our clan will be facing demise soon"

Mom gasped "alpha, how could you say like that. There's also many packs who never got positions, are there? But they are still living. Then how come our clan will face such calamity?"

"Mom, what dad said is right," I said to her. "We have been holding our position in a powerful list of packs and in this way we have gotten many enemies who want to eliminate us and take our position. So if unfortunately we lose the position then they won't leave a chance to attack us"

"But....but..." Mom couldn't utter words as she looked so shocked. In these two years the pack matter has become more difficult to handle. After having the Alpha title I did everything I could to make it stable but my own power is not complete to take the full charge of everything.

This kind of tragic thing has never happened before. And all of this has started after Shyla left the pack. Thinking about her I couldn't help but feel my heart sour. She used to be the sweet and kind girl, who would do anything I ask without any hesitation. She is my mate though our bond is broken after the rejection. But only if I can find her, there's still a chance to make everything good between us and to rebuild our bond. But the matter is even after two years we still couldn't find a little trace of her.

I can still remember the way she looked at me two years ago. Those teary eyes with so much accusation. It always hunted me every night I went to bed. I simply couldn't forget it no matter how much I tried. I thought I could tell her about Reese slowly and make her understand the situation. And I believe she would have agreed if she didn't find us having sex that evening.

I really wanted to find her and bring her back in the pack and explain to her about the situation but before I could step forward she ran away. Two years have already passed two years.

"I will go and make arrangements" I informed before leaving my parents and walking towards my room.

There will be many packs tonight that will be joining the event. Because of the pack work it's not likely possible to meet the Alphas of other packs frequently. But tonight I have all the chances to mingle with them. Even the Dark Forest Pack and Snow Moon Pack will be there. These two packs are the most mysterious one among the werewolf world. Hopefully I can get a chance to have some conversations with them.

I stood before the mirror and got myself ready for the event. I was wearing my blazer when my room door opened. I looked through the mirror and saw Reese standing there with her glittered black dress.

"You are ready?" I asked.

She gave a sweet smile before walking forward seductively "Luna said it's a great event and I should take much time to get ready and make you wait. So I chose my simple dress. How do I look?"

"Good," I nodded.

She pouted "you are not romantic anymore" she placed her hand on my chest and smiled sweetly "Avan why are you distancing from me so much? We were so good before then what happened to us suddenly?"

I removed her hand "Reese it's not time for that. We need to attend the event and represent our pack in the event and it won't be good to be late there"

"Fine, for the reputation of our pack I will listen to you"

I nodded and grabbed my car keys before heading out. As the event is major, few members of the pack attend to show the power and union. It didn't take longer to reach the venue. The Luxurious mansion looks extraordinary and it is also decorated only for tonight.

"Wow, this place is so beautiful. This is my first time attending such an exclusive event" Tina exclaimed looking around.

"Let's head inside" I said before walking in with Reese. And the rest of the members followed behind us.

In these two years of being The Alpha, I have met a few other leaders and got along with them. So in the crowd there are few familiar faces I can spot. After getting along with my other friends the announcer announced the arrival of the Snow Moon Pack.

"Is not it the second best Pack" Reese said looking towards the entrance. My gaze followed her. I was also looking forward to the meet. But all my excitement dropped down when a very familiar face came into view. A face that was hunting me all these years.

When she suddenly looked up and our gaze collided, my breathing stopped for a moment. Her eyes, those purple orbs looking straight into my soul and I could feel my heartbeat stopped instantly. Her facial, her skin, her dressing and even her aura has changed. It felt like I was looking at a stranger and a kind of new person.

"Isn't it Shyla?" Reese gasped "how.....she entered the Snow Moon Pack?"

The members of Snow Moon Pack went forward and mingled with others. Shyla averted her gaze then didn't glanced back. Like she didn't know us at all.

"How come her eye colour changed? I never knew any trick like that?" Tina said.

"Tina, don't talk too much," Ben hissed at her.

"I never thought Shyla would run away and get involved with the Snow Moon Pack. If she does anything wrong won't the other pack blame us?" Reese said with a worried expression.

That's what is hunting me now. A sweet nerdy girl, how come she got involved with the Snow Moon Pack?

"I think I should talk to her. After all, mom and dad are worried about her" Reese said again.

I nodded. She and Tina walk towards Shyla who was standing with another woman. I didn't go forward but I still can hear them. When Reese was near her she called out.

"Shyla? Is that really you? Oh my god, I am so happy to see you sister" Reese exclaimed.

Shyla's eyes snapped towards her. Her beautiful purple orbs look damn seductive.

"Who's your sister?" Her voice is harsh and there's no trace of her sweet voice.
