Claiming His Tempting Mate

Savannah's POV

Two years later...

"Wow, you look so beautiful. You know I am totally envious now" Tanea smirked as she eyed my dress. I chuckled looking at her through the mirror. The white lace flowing like a river behind me while the perfectly fitted diamond coated dress hugged my body tightly reflecting my curves.

"I still can't believe Hardwick really proposed to you infront of everyone. God, a hard headed Alpha man like him to bent on his knee then propose you with a ring" she chuckled "it was a sight to see you know"

I turned around to look at her "you think I was not amazed?" I rolled my eyes playfully "I still can't believe he really did that. Who could have thought that in the name of taking me to my parents' anniversary he would propose to me so suddenly?"

"Right, mom and dad looked so happy. Even Dev who always held so much grudges against him looked so pleased" Tanea laughed.

I still remember that day. Dev invited us to attend the anniversary of our parents. On that day Hardwick also said he has a big gift for them. But I never expected that the big gift he was talking about was meant for me. I was so shocked when I saw him suddenly kneeled before me and pulled a velvet box. His words were so touching that I couldn't help myself but cry out of joy.

"Earth to Sav '' Tanea waved her hand in front of my face.

"What?" I shook my head.

"It's not a time to dream about your mate now. Let's put the flowers in your hair first" she said then tugged the flower in my bun.

"There you look so enchanting. I guess today Hardwick will faint if he sees you like this" she grinned.

I turned around and checked myself again. The white flowers look beautiful, matching the dress code of my dress. I don't know how Hardwick managed to find these matches. He personally instructed the designers to bring it.

"You are ready. I am so happy that he is giving you a huge wedding like this Sav. I always knew he is the best choice of mate for you" she hugged me lightly.

"I guess you are right," I nodded in agreement. Hardwick is the best one I could ever ask for. He never let me down no matter what. After the end of those tragic incidents two years ago, our life finally became smooth and comfortable. It's not that there's no problems in these two years, but it was much easier to deal with when the enemy is a stranger, someone for whom we have no feelings at all. At least it is better than dealing with your own pack members as enemies. I sighed inwardly. Life, being a Luna is not easy but since I was chosen to be one then I would do anything with my power to secure my position and my pack.

"Are you guys really?" Mom walked in, opening the door.

"Oh, my dear you looked so beautiful today" she gasped.

I smiled at her "thanks mom"

"Here, this little guy is nagging about you. Looks like he couldn't wait to get you" mom chuckled, handling the little guy in her arms.

"Mum-mum" the little guy mumbled in his cute voice.

"My baby" I kissed his chubby cheeks "are you missing mummy?" I held him while he clutched me with his small arms.

"He is not the only one who is missing you" suddenly dad walked in with a smile.

"Dad"

He walked towards me and planted a small kiss on my forehead "you look gorgeous princess"

"Thanks dad" I grinned. He still talks to me like I am a kid and Pampers me to hell. He never let me feel like I am a grown up woman and a mom too. I chuckled at the thought but my heart flattered with happiness.

"Come on now. Your mate is getting restless standing at aisle" he laughed "I guess he is more impatient than Alvis"

I glanced at the little man who was mumbling something in his baby language. I could not help but smile. I know my son will become powerful and strong just like his father when grow up in the future and I am really looking forward to it. He raised his head and looked at me with his beautiful purple orbs. Yes, my son is the junior version of Hardwick but I am glad at least he got my purple gen at the end. Even dad was surprised when he saw that. But I am too happy.

"Give the little guy to your mom and start the wedding. Everyone is waiting outside for the bride" Dad said.

I nodded smiling and handed Aldric to his grandmother. Dad led me out of the room linking our arms. I am nervous but happy, though in our tribe this formal wedding is not really necessary but I am glad Hardwick gave me this honor to walk down the aisle. I could not feel more lucky than this. Every pain of the past is really worth it.

As we stepped out of the door the slow instrumental music of ' I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know' started to play in the background. My face was hidden under the lace transparent veil. I smiled as I looked around. Dev stood beside Tanea holding his little baby girl while Ryan stood at side wearing the best man attire. Jenny will be my maid of honor and two little kids were throwing flower petals on the aisle leading towards the priest waiting for us. Then my eyes fell on the handsome man who was in all white with a smirk on his face. My heart jolted suddenly looking at him. He is my mate.
