Savannah’s POV
Blurry…
Blurry…
I can’t see clearly. Where am I? This place is filled with darkness and there’s a mild scent floating in the air. It was sweet and soothing. But I don’t think I am in the forest because this kind of scent was not there. I rubbed my eyes trying to remove the blurriness. I remembered I saw Blue Tiger but suddenly someone covered my mouth and then I smelled a strange scent then…..
Oh shit……
Am I kidnapped?
My body jerked up suddenly. The softness under me made me frown. Where am I? What kind of place is this? I looked down and brushed my hand over the surface where I am sitting. It’s furry and too soft when my fingers brush over it.
It’s a bed? Creasing my eyebrows I looked around again. This place is still dark and I couldn’t see it clearly. Who brought me here? The kidnapper? But why would anyone kidnap me unless they are courting death for themselves. There’s no one who does not know my identity.
Is it Avan? But does he have the gut to do this? I really don’t think so. Though he is a bastard , his father won’t allow him to have such thinking at all. That person loves his pack too dearly. I shake my head. Right now I can’t think of any reason for me being kidnapped like this.
The sound of the door opening had me turn my head and look to the side where I could finally see some light. The door half opened and a small figure stepped in. The figure moved its body and suddenly the whole room brightened up with lights which once again blurred my vision. I covered my eyes with my arms.
“Oh…. my bad, I am so sorry miss, I don’t know you are already awake. I should not have turned the light on like this” a girly voice said with gasp.
I removed my arm and looked forward. There was a girl literally younger than me standing in maids uniform. Her black frock with white lace is giving a kind of another charm. And I must say the girl is really beautiful. Her hair was made in two bun with a white lace ribbon.
“Who are you?” I asked as I slightly frowned.
The girl fleshed a warm smile as she walked forward in a proper manner. I wonder what kind of discipline she learnt.
“Miss, I am Luina and I am your maid. Please accept my respect” she said then bowed to me.
I was stunned. I never saw her before in my life and how come she became my maid so suddenly. I looked around the room. It was luxurious. All the furniture in the room is in black shade but the colour is vibrant and it looks unique. There was a huge mirror attached on black painted wall and there was a crystal chandelier hanging above my head. I was in a forest. How come I ended up in such a place? I shifted my gaze towards the girl named Luina again. She didn’t raise her head yet still standing in a bowing position.
“Luina please stand” I said and only then she straightened herself and flashed a smile.
“Miss, are you hungry? Do you want me to bring something to eat?”
I waved my hand “no need. You know me?”
“I know you since you arrived here miss”
What a straight answer!
“How did I arrive here?” I asked her.
“Master brought you here miss and he will see you once you are awake” Luina replied.
Master? Who is that now? I felt my frustrations rising inside of me.
“And who is your master?” I forced a tight smile as I asked her again.
“He is ……. Oh Master” Luina suddenly bowed.
I frowned at her action and was about to say something when I saw a tall figure show up on the door. My eyes fixed on the figure and my eyes widened.
He is so…… hot.
Tall, mascular, handsome and that black fur cloak made him look even more good. The air in my lungs stuck in there refusing to come out and I suddenly started to feel suffocated. His eyes trailed towards me as a smirk playing on his kissable lips. My heartbeat became faster with each step and a sudden smell of Patchouli hit my nostrils. It was earthy, woody, sweet and musky. Such a strong and spicy scent is really intoxicating.
~Aww….. my….~Red purred happily.
“Leave” that one word snapped me out of my trance. I saw Luina bow and left the room.
He slowly strode towards me and smiled “had a good sleep?” He asked with his husky tone.
I gulped down the saliva forming in my mouth. Calming down my racing heart I looked at his eyes.
“You…. you brought me here?”
He smirked “isn’t it obvious love?”
My eyes widened. So straight. I have never met anyone like him. And love?
“You …” I pointed my index finger as I glared at him. Fuck with his masculinity. How dare he kidnap me?
“How dare you kidnap me?”
“Oh, I dare everything. It’s not a sin to take what’s mine anyway” he replied like it’s nothing but an everyday talk. This man. What the hell does he think of himself?
In a minute I stand up on bed still pointing my finger at him “who do you think you are?”
He looked at my finger which was pointing at him then smirked. Without a word he grabbed my finger and pulled me to him. My front hit his hard chest.
“Ouch” I winced. What is he? A rock or something?
“You really want to know who I am?” He looked down at me. His eyes glowing with amusement.
“Do you think I will be scared of your identity?” I hissed at him. It didn’t make him angry yet his smirk became wider. His Patchouli scent filled my nose as it spread in my nerves. God, being close to him is blurring my head.
“Since you want to know it…. then…” he leaned down and whispered in my ear. The next words of him shocked the hell out of me.
“Welcome home Mate”
Mate?
How come a toxic person like him becomes my mate?
How could it be possible anyway?
