Claiming His Resisting Mate

REESE’S POV

“What a night!” Tanea yawned, “I never anticipated that the happy party would transform into such chaos. I pity Aldric for this. That little guy if knew what’s happening around, he would have been gone crazy”

“We were all happy to enjoy the party. I really don’t understand why those evil doers are always up for creating troubles. Don’t they know there’s a word called peace in this world?” Adriana rolled her eyes. She grabbed the tea cup and drank hurriedly.

“Their minds are all messy, they can only think of harming others” Savannah frowned.

“Well, if you ask me then I could say, they felt it was unjustified for their people to die. But in the rage of avenge they forgot about their role which they played to start this mess in the first place” I replied looking at them.

“What a reply Reee!” Adriana chucked, “you have given the good explanation over this matter”

I laughed, “but this is how they think”

“I am glad I left my son with his grandfather” Tanea respond, “if he was here I would have been more worried”

“Now I am fearful about what’s going to happen next. There was chaos two years ago. And now another one rose in the air creating the dark clouds over our head” Savannah looked worried.

“Savannah you are not alone” Adriana holds her hand, “besides Dark Forest is not the main target but Silver Shine is. This Hell Hound is creating troubles for us now and then even if we don’t engage in an official battle. And I don’t know how to express my regret, because of us your peaceful life has also been dragged down”

“Hey, it’s not only about you now. It’s all about us” Tanea avowed, “this has become our battle now. I don’t think after last night Devak will stay cool. That man has been itching to fight and now he got the perfect reason to do that” she rolled her eyes.

“Besides we all are together here. If they want to attack us and have the intention of destroying our clan then that Demon has to think wisely. As long as we are together, there’s no way he could win” I said to them and they nodded agreeing.

“That’s the spirit girl” Tanea made a perfect gesture with her hand.

“Where is Aldric?” I asked Savannah.

“He is still sleeping. Luina is with him in the room”Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“I think we need to leave now, Josue is in the pack and will be looking for me” Adriana declared.

“That reminded me we all are here, who is looking after him?” I frowned.

“Don’t worry, that little guy is not a party lover. He would cry if he saw people around him. So I have to leave him back in the pack. He is with Layla, his nanny” Adriana smiled.

I nodded and saw the men walking towards our direction.

“I guess it’s our time now,” I sighed.

“What?” Tanea frowned and was about to inquire when Alpha Devak already reached her.

“It’s time to leave the pack, peaches” Alpha Cassius pulled Adriana to him. I got up and smiled at my mate.

“Oh, I am going to miss you two” Savannah smiled and hugged us affectionately.

“Don’t worry darling, you will be meeting them soon” Alpha Hardwick said.

“Really?” Savannah gave him a surprise look while Adriana and I stared at each other in confusion.

“Yes, since we are joining hands, we are going to have a pack meeting next week in Silver Shine. So you can meet them again” Alpha Hardwick cleared out confusion.

“Great” Savannah nodded and we all smiled. Soon we left Dark Forest after saying goodbye. It will take a few hours to reach the pack. Azrael and I were sitting in the second car while Adriana and Alpha Cassius took the first one.

“I hope everything will be fine this time,” I sighed. I leaned on his chest hearing his steady heartbeat.

“You don’t have to worry about it. Let us handle this tension” Azrael said.

“I know you guys are strong enough to handle the enemies” I looked up and smiled, “I have never doubted it. I am glad this time you have got lots of trustable people to help you”

“Right, Alpha Devak and Hardwick though seem tough and cold but they are really strong and trustable” he nodded.

“So that day when I found you in the forest trapped by your enemies -”

“They are the same. It was sent by the Demon himself. The one who was leading was Avedor, the younger brother of Kole, the beta of Hell Hound Pack. I won’t say Avedor was weak because he would have won the round if you didn’t appear in time and changed the situation. When I think of that day, I am glad you took the chance and showed up” Azrael smiled at me.

“Well, I was wandering around the forest after witnessing Savannah’s wedding. I intended to leave the place but heard your argument. The last person I was expecting to see is you.

“Reese?” Azrael called, making me look at him. “Can I ask you something?”

“Of course, what do you want to ask?”

“After Avan’s death why did you never try to look for me? I wouldn’t have known you were alive if Avedor didn’t attack us”

What should I say now? The situation was hard at that time and I have no words to give a good explanation. I know he wanted to know the truth but it’s still hard for me.

“It’s okay if you don’t want to say, I won’t force you of course. You don’t have to pressure yourself to reply” I heard him say again.

“No” I shook my head. “It’s just I couldn’t find the right choice of words to explain. After the destruction of the pack, Savannah offered to let me live in the Dark Forest. And even Alpha Hardwick allowed me to stay there as long as I wanted. But I couldn’t take their offer. Whatever happened in the past was excruciating, my torturous act towards her had me filled with regrets and I couldn’t stay there. I couldn’t meet her eyes and remember what hateful things I have done to her. The burden was so heavy in my chest. Azrael I thought about you at that time, then for the reason I made you reject me, it was too painful, I couldn’t show my face to you. I just hoped for you to find another woman. A woman who will be able to give you everything” a sob escaped my mouth and I felt him hold me tighter pressing my head on his chest.

“Shh… It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have asked this question” he comforted me.

“No, I was selfish in the past, and now I am still that selfish one” I cried in his chest.

“Still?” He frowned at me.

I chuckled as I wiped my tears, “yes, I was selfish and I am still selfish. Because….” I reached out to cup his cheek “I realized I couldn’t let you go anymore. This time I am selfish for you. I know I don’t deserve your love and kindness yet I still can’t find myself to part with you. I love you too much to do that”

He held my hand and smiled “no one can take you from me. Not when I can help it. You are mine and will be mine forever”

“Oh Azrael you don’t know how much you changed me” I said and kissed him hard not caring about the other person who was driving the car. I love this man and hell I won’t hold back to show how much.

ZANIYAH’S POV

“Zaniyah?” I looked up to see Emely standing at the door steps. She gasped when she saw me and quickly walked to me.

“Oh my god, Zaniyah what happened to you?” She looked shocked to see me in such a state. “How come you are like this?”

“Emely” I hugged her and sobbed. “Thank God you are here. I missed you so much”

“I have gone just for a few days yet you have become like this. This is not what I was expecting to see you. You were all happy and active. What happened to you suddenly?” She asked gently.

I broke the hug and looked at her with tears stained face “do you know what happened in the pack?” I sobbed. “Beta John brought his rejected mate in the pack”

“What?” Emely jumped in shock. “He brought his rejected mate? Zaniyah, is it true?” She shook my shoulder.

“Yes” I nodded still sobbing and held her hand “you know how much I love him all these years don’t you? Tell me why he couldn’t see this? Why is he up for that woman who left him in pain and ran after another man who was not her mate? How could he accept her so easily and go blind to my love?”

“Zaniyah, you need to calm down. Everything will be fine” she tried to console me.

“How could that happen when that slut is still living with him, sharing his room and bed. I know they even fucked most of the time. Tell me how could I tolerate this? How could I watch it with my eyes and let them do whatever they want? I can’t tolerate that woman. She is a witch, she is a bitch, she is a-”

“Zaniyah shut up. What are you saying?” Emely yelled at me.

“I don’t know,” I yelled back. “That woman ruined everything. She ruined everything” I started to pull my hair. Emely grabbed my hands and hugged me tightly.

“Everytime will be fine. Trust me. Now that I am here, I will solve your problem. Just leave everything to me okay. She will be out of this place soon” I calmed down hearing her.

Yes, I want her out of this place and John’s heart. Then John wouldn’t have any choice but to choose me. A grin started to spread on my lips.
