Savannah's POV
"Get up sleepy head" I felt something poked on my cheeks followed by the low whisper. I groaned and tried to remove the thing from my face. What's that?
Then I heard a chuckled "still not waking up? Are you that tired baby?"
"What is it?" I mumbled frowning.
"It's almost noon sweetheart" hot breath slapped the skin of my ear making me open my eyes immediately. A pair of beautiful dominating eyes were gazing at me with a small smile.
"You are up" Hardwick grinned.
"What?" I rubbed my eyes.
"I never knew that you have such a tight sleeping habit?"
I frowned and tried to sit on bed but suddenly pain shot my body making me stiff for a moment. I hissed, biting my lips.
"What happened? Are you alright?" Hardwick's panicked voice rang as he held me in his arms.
Raising my head I threw a hard glare at him. It's all his fault. It was my first time last night but looking at his man, he didn't let me sleep for a moment. He didn't stop until I lost the last drop of my strength and finally passed out in his arms.
"It's all your fault" I pushed him away but then winced in pain. My body is aching so badly like a truck has just smashed my body over and over again. It felt like my bones had turned into jelly, losing all its strength.
Hardwick gave me an odd smile before rubbing the back of his neck. He looked nervous all of a sudden "I am sorry. I really didn't mean to hurt you like that but seeing you like that all sexy and so beautiful I couldn't hold back my desire and wanted to have you again and again. One round is not enough with you baby" he let out a small laugh.
I rolled my eyes "your enjoyment is now causing me unable to move my body" I said through gritted teeth.
"It's not only about me, sweetheart," he smirked, "you know that you also enjoyed our love making, don't you?"
I bit my lips and looked away from him trying to hide my blush. I couldn't blame him about it because I really did enjoyed his blissful torture. The way his tongue played with my nipples making it hard and the way his huge cock ravished me, thinking about it, it suddenly made me shiver.
I heard Hardwick chuckled again "are you trying to recall last night's action love? If you want, all you have to do is say yes then I can turn your memory in fresh activity you know"
I turned my head and glared at him "how can you be shameless like that you pervert?"
"What? Isn't it true? You were thinking about it" he tilted his head looking at me with challenging eyes.
"You have taken it wrongly"
"Is it?"
I nodded my head. God this is embarrassing. I clutched the silk duvet on my body and sit on the bed ignoring the aching on my body.
"Are you alright?" He asked again.
"I am fine"
"I am sorry again. I know I should have stopped but I couldn't. I can't help it"
I sighed "you don't have to say it again and again. I am fine"
"I will let Luina bring you some pills to help you relax your body but for now you need a god bath"
"What-" before I could ask he picked me up suddenly. The silk duvet fell on the bed making me squeal.
He laughed "you are still a shy baby? Get used to it. There's nothing I haven't seen before"
"Shut up" I gared as I hooked my arms around his neck "where are you taking me?"
"To bathe" he walked towards the bathroom.
"I want to rest"
"You will but you should clean your body first so that you will feel fresh" he replied as he walked inside the bathroom. The bath water was already ready and he gently put me in the bathtub. When the warm water touched my skin I sighed in content. It felt so good. I cannot help it but moaned in pleasure.
"Feeling good?" He whispered in my ear. He squatted down beside the tub and looked at me with a gentle smile playing on his lips.
"Thank you so much" I smiled at him.
"I have prepared the water ready in advance. I think the temperature is just right" he dipped his finger checking the water.
"You prepared it?" I was surprised.
He smiled "why not? I know you are sore. So the water will help you relax a bit. Since I was the one who caused this pain, I should be the one to make it go away"
I chuckled at his words. Can I ever get such a caring and loving mate? It still felt like a dream for me. To get a second chance to live and to understand what love is. All of these things are wonderful.
"What are you thinking?"
I shook my head "I am just thinking how lucky I am got get such treatment"
"You deserve it" he kissed my cheek "you deserve more than you can ever imagine and I am planning to do more for you."
"More?" I asked, tilting my head.
He nodded with smile "more, a lot more"
I smiled "I am looking forward for it then"
"I need to leave the pack for some work. By the time I return I hope you will be all good"
"You are going?"
"Why? Can't you stay away from me now?" He smirked.
"But you still got together"
"Yeah that's true" she chuckled. "I never thought this would happen at first. Because of so many disputes between us we didn't have a chance to tell dad about it. He still don't know that the person whom he hates so much is my mate"
"I guess Ryan will be needing great support" I teased.
"I guess so," Jenny laughed. "Dad is grumpy when he sees him always. I really don't want to imagine what will his reaction when Ryan will say the truth"
"I want to witness the scene" I laughed.
"I was thi-" before she could continue some screamed my name.
"SAVANNAH LANG"
I turned around to see Daisy marching towards us with an angry face. After finishing my meal I walked in the garden with Jenny. But I didn't expect that Daisy would show up suddenly screaming my name.
"How could you say Mistress's name like that?" Jenny frowned at Daisy.
"Shut up, who's talking to you?" Daisy barked angrily before fixing her gaze at me "what do you think of yourself? Do you think just because you got the title you can do anything you want?"
I frowned at her. What got her thinking that she can behave like a madwoman now? She is just similar to her sister in each way. No wonder they are siblings. They deserve such a relationship.
"Why are you shouting?" I asked her calmly.
"Why am I shouting? You are still asking me that?" Daisy laughed then she glared at me "because of you my sister was taken forcefully. It was all because of you that she is suffering again. She has been living a bad life in the East Side all these years yet you are still not satisfied that you sent her again? What did she do that made you suffer like this?" She shouted at her top lung. The few pack members who were near looked at us suddenly.
"Do you know what you are talking about?" I asked her. I never thought that both sisters didn't have any sense. I never thought that after Delaney Daisy would come to make a scene.
"I know exactly what I am talking about, unlike you. You seduced the Master so that he will do everything you say. You even provoked him to send my sister to the East Side again. Why are you doing this? What sin has she done that you are punishing her like this?"
I chuckled "you know what Daisy did. Don't act like you know nothing about what your sister's purpose was. Don't pretend it because deep inside you know where your sister was wrong"
"Delaney was not wrong" Daisy screamed "what she had done was for love. She loved Master since young and how could she let go of her long lasting love just like that? It was all for the Master that she endured everything on the East Side as punishment. She has been suffering all these years yet she did say anything. She endured and wished for her punishment to be over so that she can Master again. But no you have to interfere in between. It was not for you and your provocation Master would never treat her like that. It was all because of you that she had to suffer all her life until she die miserable death. If you weren't there then she would be living in the pack happily"
"Happy? Have you ever thought about where you are going wrong?" I asked her "your sister did the same. She said she loves Hardwick then why can't she just understand the simple thing that he doesn't have any feelings towards her? She couldn't understand it? I don't think so. For a person like Delaney ego can scheme against Hardwick when they are just teenagers it's not difficult for her to understand this simple fact isn't it? But no, she refused to see the truth. Is it my fault?"
"Delaney loved the Master all her life," Daisy hissed.
"It's not a love" I shook my head "in fact she never loved him in reality. She was just obsessed with Hardwick and she couldn't let him go because he refused her"
"Don't talk nonsense" Daisy shouted glaring at me. "You are talking about my sister. What about you? Do you think I don't know who you are?" She laughed "you think I don't have any idea about your past? Do you think just because you become the Mistress in name no one can point out your sins"
"What do you want to say?" I asked but I could feel my blood start to boil.
Daisy looked at me mockingly "are not you the slut of Alpha Avan?
