Claiming His Tempting Mate novel Chapter 71

Savannah's POV

"Are you fine?"

I chuckled "7th time"

"What?* He looked confused.

"This is the 7th time you are asking me"

"I can't help it" he shook his head then checked my body again rubbing slowly "that bastard dared to lay hands on you" he clenched his fist as a low growl erupted through his throat.

"Hardwick, he is dead already. He got what he deserved" I tried to calm him down.

"I still felt like going back and shred his body into pieces"

I shook my head "he is dead. You don't have to get your hands dirty by doing that. For a person like him, it will only stain your hand with his filthy blood"

Hardwick caressed my cheek softly "I will ask Sadie to put ointment on your cheek. It's still red"

I smiled "I am fine, nothing happened to me. Do you know why? Because you came to save me. You came at the right time. How am I going to thank you for this?"

He leaned and joined our forehead "just stay by my side forever"

"Hardwick"

"Yes"

"I love you"

"I love you more baby" he whispered, kissing me. The familiar taste filled my mouth. That dominating taste of him melted my heart in an instant.

"Where is she?" The door flung open, startling me.

"Fuck" he cursed then glared at the person standing at the door.

"Opps, I didn't know you both......" Sadie grinned "uh, I will just come in a minute"

"Stop right there," Hardwick said coldly. He got up from bed "since you are already here. Just come and do your work"

Sadie walked in smiling and put her medical box down on the table.

"Next time you better be careful or I will chop your head" Hardwick hissed at her.

"Haha, I will take care" Sadie laughed nervously. I shook my head rolling my eyes.

Sadie sat on the bed and checked my pulse "hmm.. it's normal. Because of too many activities your body is tired. You need a good amount of rest Luna. I will prescribe some medicine that will help you recover your body from exhaustion"

"Sadie, I need to tell you something"

"What is it?"

"Um...on the kidnapping night I took that tablet you showed me. If it was not for it, I wouldn't be able to survive and make my body stronger to stay active"

She nodded "I know, I found the pill missing. But don't worry it won't affect your baby" she assured.

"There's something else too," I sighed. "Avan injected me with a kind of drug that will keep my wolf sleep, weakening my power. Can you help me with that?"

"He did?" She frowned. "I never thought they would get such medicine" she shook her head then pulled out an injection "don't worry, I have been researching about it for years already and you are lucky that I finally found the antidote" she smiled.

"Why does that make such medicine?" I asked as Sadie prepared to inject me with the antidote.

"To defeat enemies" Hardwick answered "it will cause the inner wolf to sleep which will definitely weaken one's power and strength. And that situation was the perfect time to kill your enemies without exhausting yourself"

"Done" Sadie smiled "your wolf will wake up in few hours"

"Thanks" I smiled.

She laughed "don't embarrass me by thanking"

"Savannah" Mom and dad walked in hurriedly.

"Mom, dad," I smiled.

"How are you sweetheart?" Mom looked worried.

"I am fine mom" I smiled trying to assure her "Sadie also checked me and said there's nothing to worry"

"Thank God, I have been so worried," she cried.

"Are you alright princess?" Dad asked.

I nodded "yes dad"

He turned to Hardwick and patted his shoulder with a proud look "you are worthy to be the Alpha of Dark Forest. You know how to handle things even in difficult situations. Thank you for saving my daughter and bringing her back unharmed"

"It's my responsibility towards my mate. Please don't thank me. As long as I am alive, I will never let anyone bully her no matter what" Hardwick replied.

"I am really proud of you son" then they hugged. I smiled looking at them. Dad really accepted him wholeheartedly and it makes me happy to see them like this.

"Everyone is here" Tanea joined in with Devak.

"I am so glad to see you here darling" Tanea hugged me smiling.

"Thanks"

I looked at my brother "how did you guys find me so fast?"

"We wouldn't be able to if it was not for that so-called sister of yours" Devak replied "but I am glad she chose the right thing and helped us to locate you or anything could have happened" he shook his head.

"I am really surprised to see her there. I mean since I started to understand things I just knew she is always hostile towards me no matter what I did. She used to put all the blame she did in the past making me fool before everyone. But how come she suddenly changed so that she came forward to help me?" Thinking about the past made me stunned. The last thing I was expecting anyone to be my saviour was Reese. Even though she came out at the right time, I couldn't help but be shocked at her actions.

"May be she understand now" mom replied "time changes everything including people's heart and thinking"
