Savannah’s POV
“It feels good” I smiled to myself as the cold air hit my skin. The library room was comfy and it could make you sleepy while reading. I was reading a novel the whole afternoon and now my body started to feel numb. But it’s a great time-killing method other than sitting in a room alone and looking at those furniture.
“The gardeners will be planting new flowers, Mistress. Would you like to add some of your choice?” Luina asked as she followed behind me in slow steps.
“The garden is already full. Why are they planning news posts?”
“It’s kind of a collection in other words. To get all types of flowers ”
“Since that’s the case” I pondered for a while. “then I think types of Orchid will be fine”
“Okay I will inform the gardener about it”
We walked for a while enjoying the weather and the cool breeze. My mind is clear now and I hope that he will be back soon.
“Um…. Mistress” I turned around only to find the woman who was getting on my nerves standing behind me. She was wearing a yellow sundress and stood there looking meek.
“Can I have a talk with you?” She asked.
I looked at her from head to toe “you say anything you want”
Delaney glanced beside me where Luina was standing. She looked like hesitating something.
“She is my personal maid. She won’t leak anything you are going to say” I assured. I really want to see what she wants to say to me.
“It’s too personal. I hope you can understand me” Delaney insisted, smiling slightly.
I glanced at Luina who nodded and stepped away from us. Delaney looked at her before looking at me. Though she looks beautiful with those innocent eyes, I know it clearly that she is not what she seems outside. She sighed a few times before opening her mouth.
“I know you are his mate. But before you came I was in his life. And we have shared so many things that you can’t imagine” there was a small smile playing on her lips. It’s like she was trying to recall everything that happened in the past.
“What are you trying to say?” I asked her seriously.
She smiled gently “My name is Delaney. May be you don’t know me but Hardwick and this pack knows me well. We almost grew up together and have deep bonding for each other. It’s unfortunate that we are not bonded by fate but no matter what we could deny whatever we have between us. So I want to tell that please let us stay together”
I frowned “what do you mean by let you stay together?”
“I know you can’t understand at this moment. That’s why I am trying to tell you the truth. Though Hardwick and ai don’t have mate bonding but we have made it clear for each other that we don’t neglect the connection. Besides…..” Suddenly she blushed. “Besides He already made me his”
I raised my eyebrows at her “his?”
“Yes” she nodded shyly “I know it may hurt you since you are his mate but I want to clear everything with you so I have to tell you the truth. Hardwick and I had sex before”
My heart jumped as she said that. I clenched my fist as I looked at her coldly. She really has the gut to tell her past on my face. Looks like she really wants me to lash out or leave my mate for good.
“So?” I asked as if it’s a small thing. I refrained myself from getting angry, controlling my emotions with all my power.
Delaney looked surprised for a moment before collecting her expression “so … You are his mate and I really can’t ask you to leave him because it will hurt him. But at least I can expect you to be a little generous to let me stay by his side. I promise I won’t come between you two. It’s just as long as he marries me I will be happy and you can take the Luna position. I just want stay by his side all life”
“And what if he refuses to do that?”
“Refuse?” She smiled “it won’t happen because I know how much Hardwick is fond of me. He always cared for me and if there’s was not any misunderstanding between us then we could have been a happy couple or maybe you could never get the chance to be here”
I looked at Delaney carefully. This woman looks like she is gentle and charming but all I could see was her pretense. How could anyone be this shameless? Till now I have seen 3 people who are kind of shameless beyond imagination. One is Avan then Reese and next is Delaney. They all have the same goal, mind and personality that could never change.
“Are you done Delaney? Looks like your purpose got fulfilled” I said after some time.
“What do you mean? ” She frowned “I am requesting you because you are his mate. All you have to do is to be a little open minded to accept me”
“Sorry I don’t have such ability to open my mind more than its limits”
“Don’t be so jealous” she suddenly hissed. “Hardwick and I are childhood partners and had more experience than yours. I know you are his mate that’s why I am pleading you because I don’t want to hurt you and make him hate me”
I smiled “I never heard him talking about you. Are you sure about your point?”
“That’s all his anger that he was avoiding my topic but I know he still cares about me. If not then he won’t send the car to pick me up” she blushed again “there’s a little misunderstanding between us but I am confident that I will clear it once he is here. So I wanted to clear everything to you for the future”
I sighed “are you done? I am tired and I want to rest for a while”
Delaney’s smile froze “I am serious here. You don’t believe me, do you?”
I shook my head “it’s not that I didn’t believe you. It’s that I don’t care about it” I walked past her but stopped when I heard her yell.
“You will see when he returns. You will see how much he adores me and how much he respects me. You will see in your eyes then you will understand. Hardwick is mine and he will always be. Just wait and watch”
My blood started to boil as I fisted my hand. Delaney really has the guts to spill this before even after knowing everything. I guess Daisy has told her everything then she is here to confront me? I told him to tell me the truth. But he refused, avoided as much as he can and now all his past is dancing before me revealing all the secrets. My body started to feel hot because of anger. Now I know what I should do. It’s all his fault for hiding it from me.
Suddenly my phone vibrated. I can see the familiar name flashing on the screen.
“Hello”
Suddenly my lips curved up as I heard the words from the other line. Perfect.
