Claiming His Tempting Mate

Chapter 8

Avan's POV

We all sat in the meeting room facing each other. The situation inside the room was dark and filled with

silence. We originally planned to take Shyla back in the pack. For that reason we worked hard to find

the exact location of the Snow Moon Pack and sent Farid and Salina to persuade the Alpha and place

our point. But we didn't expect that Farid and Salina would mess up everything.

"It was already hard enough to trace their location in that forest maze. That was our chance to make

everything right and all you had to do was soften your tongue and persuade them to let Shyla come

back. But what did you two do? You can't even perform a single task?" Dad glared at Salina and Farid.

"Alpha we have tried, but the Alpha of Snow Moon Pack doesn't want to listen to any of our words. It's

hard to make them understand the situation. And Luna became suddenly angry when Salina tried to

persuade Shyla" Farid replied.

"What have you said to Luna?" Dad roared "do you have any idea how their pack works? And who has

the most importance there?" Dad groaned loudly " Snow Moon Pack is not something that belongs to

ordinary. It said that their pack has been existing for such a long period of time that it has almost

become legendary. And the most important person in the pack is not the Alpha but the Luna whom you

offended already. The Alpha of Snow Moon Pack has given equal rights to his Luna so going against

her means you are going against the whole pack. It's better that the discussion luckily happened to be

inside otherwise I think you would not be able to return back safely"

Salina gasped loudly. Even mom's eyes widened. I was also surprised when I heard that before. The

history of Snow Moon Pack is something unique. It's not like our pack or other pack that exists in this

werewolf world. They have different kinds of traditions which are completely opposite to us.

"Are they that dangerous?" Mom asked.

Dad looked at her "how do you think they are still staying in the second best position over centuries?

Do you think it's an easy task to maintain?"

"Alpha, even though the Alpha and Luna of Snow Moon Pack are aggressive, Shyla has been with us

for so many years. That girl even changed so much that I didn't recognise her" Salina said after some

time.

Hearing her say that, a certain purple orbs flashed in my mind. I could not forget that beauty no matter

what I do.

"I have investigated that matter" dad replied "we all regarded Shyla as a human when she was staying

here but it was not actually true. The Snow Moon blood does not transform until they reach 18 years of

age. Before 18 their body and personality stays like an ordinary human being but once they awaken

their work and shift themselves they change. Not only with their body shape yet with their personality.

It's like a growth in them to become stronger and sharper"

"But she is still our adoptive daughter even if it was in name though" Salina insisted.

I frowned looking at her. How come she become so dumb like this? Even Shyla was not this dumb

when she was still in her ordinary form.

"You still got the point to argue?" Dad narrowed his eyes "Snow Moon Pack already knows what you

did years ago. You stole the baby from them and if it was an ordinary one then I don't think there will be

much fuss in this matter but currently it is not. Even if you stole and raised her, once she shifted she will

discover it herself even without you telling her the truth. Besides you can't claim Shyla as your adoptive

one because Shyla has already reached her prime age and she already proved that she is one of them

isn't it?"

Salina didn't reply but bit her lips.

"Alpha, how did she prove that?" Reese asked suddenly.

Dad looked at her. And from his expression I can tell he is not pleased with her. The situation has

changed and it's not like it was 2 years ago. I sighed inwardly.

"Snow Moon Pack gens have a unique personality and the proof of it is the purple eyes. In the whole

werewolf tribe it was only them who got the purple orbs" I explained.

Reese looked at me then nodded. Her face was pale and there was not a glow like before. Now looking

at her, she somehow looks ordinary in my eyes.

"Alpha what are we going to do now?" Farid asked.

Dad glared at him "what's there to do anything? Did you two leave any other option for us to advance

ourselves?"

Farid lowered his head and didn't speak after that. Salina narrowed her eyes and said suddenly.

"Alpha, Shyla does not belong to our pack anyway then why should we pursue her like this? Besides,

Reese is the strongest one in our pack and Alpha Avan has already promised her lifetime, why don't we

just bless them?"

This woman! I shook my head. I thought she was intelligent but I was wrong. Wrong, thinking of this

idiot as a smart one and even choosing her…..

"Farid, you really did a great job with your mate. It's really appreciative" dad said looking at him but

what we can hear is the mocking tone behind the sentence.

Farid turned and glared at Salina while Reese grabbed her arm "mom, stop staying that"

"You all leave except Avan. I want to talk to him privately" dad said using his dismissing tone. Then

everyone left the room leaving us alone.

"Dad .."

"Avan do you know where your mistake is?" He asked before I could say anything.

"Yes dad" I said nodding.

"It's not only your fault but also ours. We failed to see the truth behind the curtain and caused this

damage to our own pack. And the fact Shyla-"

"Dad, her name is not Shyla, she is Savannah," I reminded him.

"Yes whatever is that, she already rejected you with extreme anger but it's good that you both are

destined mate and you two mean to be together forever"

"But dad she doesn't want to meet me. How can we come closer? Besides now that her identity is

changed, it will be more difficult"

Dad frowned "since when did you become this coward? I didn't raise you to be like that. Our first plan of

persuasion failed but there is still a chance. Since the plan with her parents won't work then we need to

work on Shy- I mean Savannah"

My heart jolted with excitement "how?"

"After a month, there will be a hunting event. It happens every 5 years and now this will be your chance

to win her heart again. All the young generation will be there, even those who have mates. And

definitely she will be there too. So take this chance and don't disappoint me and your pack"

I nodded my head excitedly "yes, dad don't worry. This time I will truly take care of her"

A smile lingered in my face. Soon Savannah, you will be mine again.

Savannah's POV

"You don't have to think about them. After what happened they won't dare to bother us anymore" Tanea

said, placing the newly made coffee on the table.

"I never expected they will be this extent of shameless being" I shook my head "back then when I used

to live in there they never cared actually but I always encouraged myself that was nothing and they

loves me from heart. It was already too late when I started to realise the truth"

Tanea patted the back of my hand "don't think about those losers, if they don't exist then how will smart

people like us live?" She laughed out loud.

I could not help but chuckle. She is really something, always knows how to crack a joke at the right

time and maybe that's why my brother loves her so much. Not only she is his mate yet she is such a

sweetheart that everyone loves. We couldn't continue chatting as my brother's voice suddenly called

her name.

Tanea looked at his direction and smiled "looks like that Eagle will not rest without me"

I rolled my eyes "go before he comes here. I really don't want to hear his lectures and ruin my peace"

Tanea laughed loudly before nodding "see you later" then she ran off.

I watched them hugging each other and being so lovey-dovey. My chest tightened with the sight and I

shifted my gaze towards the open field where the pack members are training. I am currently sitting

under the shade resting myself in the training field.

"Sister Annah" a sweet childish voice called my name. I turned to look at Ginia who was blinking at me.

"What happened to you?" I asked catching her arm lightly.

"Sister Annah, you are sitting alone here so I thought I should accompany you. And it won't bore you

anymore" she replied.

I raised my eyebrows then laughed at her act. She is so cute. I could not help but pinch her chubby

cheeks. She yelped in surprise.

"Sister Annah don't do that" she pouted.

"Why?" I chucked.

She leaned forward "because mommy said I am a big girl now"

I laughed again. What a kid she is! I was about to say when there was a sudden roar. My head

snapped towards the field. Some of the pack members were looking towards the forest. I turned to

Ginia who was also looking at the field. I patted her shoulder, attracting her attention towards me.

"Your training is done for today. Go home" I ordered. She looked at me then toward the field before

nodding. She ran off towards the pack house.

I shifted my gaze from her back towards the field and ran there "what happened?" I asked.

"Miss, there was a sudden roar coming from the forest. Looks like some wild beasts are hanging

around" one of them informed.

"If they are near the pack then they might attack us and it won't be safe" another one said. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

"We need to distract them but not hurt them in any way except if it was an emergency, understand?" I

ordered.

"But young alpha has just left," a man with curly black hair said.

I shook my head "for such a trivial matter, there's no need for him to disturb. Gather some men, we will

go into the forest"

"Miss, you can't take the lead," they shook their heads.

I frowned, "Why not? You think I am not capable enough to lead a team?"

"Of course not. Please don't misunderstand us. It's just Alpha and young Alpha will be displeased if you

personally do this. Let us go and check this matter" they replied in unison.

I rolled my eyes. Seriously? I am not weak and I can fight with two wolves at the same time. But they

are still refusing? I threw an annoying look.

"Who's the leader here? You are defying my words? Besides, it's not a major thing to fear. Just some

wild beast. Now, stop wasting my time and finish our work" I shook my head and walked towards the

forest.

Their faces are like, they are about to cry but still follow behind my lead. I chuckled at their expression

before we entered the forest. The forest was deep and there were sun rays peeking through tree

leaves.

"Which direction?" I asked, looking around.

"It sounds like it's coming from the South," one of them replied.

"We can't spot it this way. We need to spread" I told them.

"But miss-"

"No arguments, we need to finish it fast so that we can go back early" I said in a harsh tone.

They didn't say anything further but accepted my order. I walk towards the North, there are some flower

plants besides those huge trees. Though I have memorised the map of this forest but still dad said

there are some parts which are forbidden to enter. I don't know why but dad said it was outside of our

territory. Maybe that part belongs to some other pack. But the most important thing is that, I forgot to

ask which part of the forest is forbidden. I shake my head. How could I be this idiot? Seriously? I forgot

it.

I looked forward and the plants and trees started to become shallow. I frowned, I just walked for a few

minutes. How come these places are shallow? I looked around the area. I can see the sun rays falling

on ground lighting the whole area and its shimmering. It looks enchanting and then… my eyes fell on

something and my eyes widened immediately.

It's….it's….. Blue Tiger? Heavens, I have seen the picture in the library but never expected to see it

personally. It's so beautiful. It was resting under the shade of small flower plants but suddenly it's eyes

opened and looked at me directly.

So captivating…. My heart stopped for a moment. I wanted to take a closer look, and as I was about to

step I felt a cold hand cover my mouth and another hand sneaked around my waist and without any

efforts lifted my body up from the ground. I smelled a weird scent and my vision became blurry. The

last thing I saw was the tiger stand up and started to walk towards me while wiggling its tail.
