Savannah’s POV
“Is your packing done?” Mom asked as she entered my room. I smiled when I saw her.
“Yeah, he told me that I don’t need to pack clothes”
“May be he has arranged it already for you” she smiled and walked towards me “I am glad that you are given a chance to have mate but I am also sad that our reunion is just too short” her voice cracked as she become emotional.
“As a mother, I really don’t want you to leave us. Even your dad is sad about it. Though he looked all fine on the surface but I can see the pain in his eyes”
“Mom” my eyes brimming with tears as I hugged her “I don’t know what to say. Since childhood, I never knew how it felt to have a real family because those who adopted me never showed it. I was glad I left that place and met you all. But now I don’t know how to describe my feelings. Because this time my leaving is causing me pain” then I sobbed.
Mom stroked my back gently “my dear, it’s fate. If you were a normal female then you would marry one day and leave your family to start your own and now even in our tribe, you have to leave and form your own family with your mate” slowly she broke the hug. Though there was pain in her eyes, her face was blooming with a smile.
“I am so glad you got Hardwick as your mate. He is strong and Possessive but he knows how to deal with things and is also in love with you. I can be assured that he will keep you happy for the rest of your life”
“Mom”
“Hear me out first” she smiled “I know living in a completely strange place is not easy. But with time you will be able to cope up with every situation. But what you need to understand is that, life is not a bed of roses and a small thing could destroy everything you have” she reached out and cupped my cheeks “my dear, you need to believe in yourself and trust your mate. No matter what happens, never let your doubt blood and ruin your sanity. Doubts always create misunderstandings which lead to the destruction of any relationship. I want you to clear your doubts before it lead you to wrong way”
I nodded my head. I know why she is advising me. But I am willing to listen to anything she has to say. I never knew this kind of feeling but today I got why moms are daughter’s first best friend.
“Hardwick is an Alpha so once you get in the pack it will make you the Luna, the mistress of the pack. As a Luna, it’s your responsibility to help your mate rule the pack. You are the source of his strength and always try to be like that. Sometimes things might get confusing but never let yourself doubt on your mate with rumours or gossips. If you want to know then just ask him personally. He is your mate, so he won’t lie to you or if he does then give him time and respect his choice. He will never do anything to hurt you. Just try to understand him, from his own viewpoint too. Communication, trust, understanding, respect and forgiveness is the foundation of a relationship. When you are into it, you have to give all of you to keep the bond. It’s a hard work, but this is how you have to navigate your own journey”
I smiled at her. She has told me so many things that I never knew. But after listening to her, I realised how much I needed this advice. I have seen how my parents stayed so loving all the time. It was because they have the understanding and communication and respect they need.
“And also, love is important for the bond in a relationship but other things have an equal role too. At some point of time, love have to tested but if understand your bond and your mate then nothing can break it”
I nodded again “thank you mom, I really needed it. I have learnt so many things that I never knew existed”
She laughed “as long as you understand it my dear. But don’t forget, if things doesn’t goes well then Snow Moon will always be there waiting for you”
“Thanks mom. For telling me so many things” I hugged her.
“Wow, so emotional” Tanea’s voice reach my ear and I looked up only to find her standing on door steps.
“I came to invite you two for a tea party yet who knew that it will be I who gets emotional” she added walking inside.
“Such a drama queen” mom shook her head smiling.
“Come one, let’s have some tea time, Sav will be leaving soon and I don’t know when I can see her again. That man is too possessive, he even didn’t even let Sav hug Dev” Tanea laughed. I felt blush a crawling on my face.
“Don’t tease her like that” mom said but she has a teasing look on her face.
Mom, are you even on my side?
Tanea dragged us outside where she set a small tea table in the garden. We settled outside and poured tea for ourselves.
“I have ordered this popular Yorkshire Tea, just for today” Tanea raised her tea cup grinning.
“You really worked hard on this planning,” mom replied.
Tanea nodded “I had to, I am bored here. And now that Sav will be going with her mate, I will be lonely here” she pouted her lips.
“Did you forget that you have a mate here, woman”
Tanea rolled her eyes and I chuckled loudly. Mom smirked as she took a sip on her tea. Soon Devak came into view looking totally pissed.
“What did you say just now?” He aske, looking at Tanea.
“Can’t I have a peaceful tea moment for sometime?” Tanea replied to him.
“Woman, don’t taste my patience here” Devak frowned.
“Oh you still have patience? I thought you didn’t know the meaning of that word” Tanea mocked.
“This tea tastes good,” Mom said, placing the tea cup on the table.
I chuckled again and took a sip.
“Why are you all having tea here?” Dev asked.
“Sav will be leaving soon so I thought to have some girls time and ordered this Yorkshire Tea for it” Tanea said pointing towards the tea.
Something flashed in his eyes before he looked away. He didn’t say anything but silently walked away. I looked at his back and suddenly I felt sourness rising in my heart. Teasing him was the best thing I do when I get bored but he never complained about it. Once I leave, won’t I miss this, him, getting angry or teasing him?
Mom sighed “he is really sad” she looked at the way where Dev disappeared. “He even argued with Micah not to let you go”
I gasped “he did?” I couldn’t believe it. Dev really did it?
Mom chuckled “your dad scolded him so much”
Tanea smiled “he was sulking all night”
I shook my head but my eyes suddenly got watery. Oh god, I am really going to leave the pack. With each passing time, it’s making my heart race with nervousness and also excitement. I don’t know what I am going to do. On one hand It’s painful to look at the sadness of my family and on the other hand my mate, my destiny waiting for me with open arms.
I looked at the sky and cursed down. Fuck, being a girl is really a hard to live specially when it’s time to chose.
