Savannah’s POV
Next day came easily without any disturbance. When I woke up in the morning I found myself in a cage. Hardwick caged me in his arms and didn’t allow me to leave until his mood was good enough. It was quite hard to handle but in the far corner of my heart I am loving it. Enjoying every beat of his dominating nature.
“God, I will surely die if I keep eating this food ” Shiny made a face as she stared at the dish spread on the table. I sighed inwardly, it was not her only but I am also included. Okay, no criticisms against the food. Though it’s taste is plain, it is still adjustable. But the main fact is that ‘adjustable’ couldn’t refer to everyday meals with the same dishes.
Tanea walked inside the tent looking beautiful. She was wearing jeans and a crop top while her hair was styled in a bun. She sat in front of me with a grumpy expression. Today our breakfast was served in my tent so everyone is present here.
“What happened?” I asked her.
“Don’t ask me about that. Ask your dumb brother”
Shiny who was drinking water suddenly spat out hearing her. She coughed a little before patting her chest. I chuckled at her reaction as I focused my attention towards Tanea.
“Did he sleep outside last night?” I asked, smiling.
Tanea rolled her eyes “you think that arrogant king of a brother of yours will let that happen? Besides the fucking tent door didn’t helped” she cursed down.
I laughed out and wiped the corner of my eyes. Oh my, my eyes get watery and laugh so hard. I never understand how Tanea handles Devak’s arrogance like this. Thinking about it, my brother is really arrogant. He couldn’t wait to tease Tanea until she is fed up then again chase behind her. It’s like a natural circle going around.
“Do you need me to do something about the door thing?” I asked her.
Tanea threw a poker face “will that be able to stop that bull?”
“Bull? Haha …” I held my stomach as I almost rolled on the floor.
“Who’s bull?” Then suddenly Devak’s voice fell in the room. Tanea huffed and turned her head away, not giving him any glance. He frowned before walking towards the table and settled down beside Tanea who was still avoiding him.
I suppressed my laugh as I looked at him “well, you should ask this to your mate. She knows better than anyone who it is” I nodded.
Devak turned to look at her “you know?”
“Humph” Tanea snorted but didn’t even look at him. I really don’t have any idea why they are arguing. But looking at them I guess this time it’s kind of bigger.
“I asked you something,” Devak frowned.
“Where is Alpha Hardwick?” Tanea asked, totally ignoring him. I know she is doing it to annoy him because Devak becomes crazy when others don’t answer his questions.
I shrugged in reply “donno, after waking up he left”
I felt it was strange. Hardwick left in a hurry after the phone call. Who was that? What made him so restless to be in such a hurry? I frowned but couldn’t find any answers to my own questions.
“Why are you interested in her mate?” Devak asked again.
Tanea swiftly turned her head to look at him “what this has to do with you?”
“Darling everything you do has my concern”
“Hell with your concern,” Tanea snapped.
“Okay stop you both. What’s going on here?” I asked them.
Tanea rolled her eyes but didn’t speak. While Devak frowned. Looks like they are not going to answer me at all. I gave them a poker face before shaking my head. It’s better to turn my focus to another thing.
“You participated in yesterday’s game event?” I asked Shiny who was poking her food on the plate with a fork.
“Yeah”
“How’s it?” I asked curiously.
“Boring. I thought they are putting some challenges to test the skills but all are lame at the end. The first round goes hunting down white deer in the forest” Shiny rolled her eyes “is that even called a game? Seriously hunt a stupid white deer?” Her voice fell like a mocking tone criticising everything.
“May be they will make the next level challenging” I told her.
“Not going. Jion said he will go for today. If tomorrow is exciting then I am up for it”
“Good luck then” I smiled. Though I planned to join the game but for now I really don’t want to see Avan’s face. Whenever I saw him, I felt disgusted. I never found the logic behind falling in love with such a person in the first place. I was so blind that I could not see his true face but I chased him like he is the treasure of my life. I rolled my eyes at the thought. Just then an aroma filled my nostrils and immediately my mouth watered.
It is the smell of my favourite Pasta Bolognese. But who brought it here? I can smell it from after. Just as I was thinking Hardwick walked with a beg in his hand.
“Where were you?” I asked him as he sat down beside me. Shiny on the other side lowered her head focusing on her plate.
“To bring this” He gestured to the packet in his hand.
“What’s there?” I frowned.
Hardwick did not reply but undid the package before pulling out a plastic container which was locked. My eyes glued on it as I can feel the aroma. Is this what I am thinking? Can it be? Hardwick opened the lid slowly and my eyes widened.
It is really Pasta Bolognese. My mouth watered instantly and my hands itched to grab the fork and dig in. After coming here I didn’t have a good meal because of the food taste but suddenly seeing my favourite food on the table my stomach gave a low growl.
“Looks like someone is hungry huh” I heard Hardwick’s tease but right now I don’t care about it yet my all focus on the plastic container which was glistening with my favourite food.
“You this …..” I turned to look at him.
“You didn’t liked the foods so I ordered it for you”
“How did you know it’s my favourite?”
“Luna told me,” he shrugged.
Mom, she told him everything yet I didn’t know a single thing about him.
“You did this for me?” My heart flattered.
He smiled “you are precious to me”
And that was enough for me to jump in his arms. He brought my favourite food because I didn’t like the taste. He even cares for such small details how could I stay still without any reaction. And for the first time I felt my second chance was the best thing that could ever happen to me.
