Claiming His Resisting Mate

REESE’S POV

I gasped, “you mean that beast Demon is finally attacking?”

He nodded “there are some movements in the pack and we believe it was done by them. I don’t think it will take time for him to be here”

I was shocked. After two years of long gap this is the first war I will be facing. The last one was chaotic and I lost many people. But I was careless about them because even if they are related to me, their influence in my life has made me turn into something I wasn’t. It was like a bad phase of my life. I looked at him. This time I don’t want to lose anything in this war. Especially him. I don’t know why I am so restless about this. I don’t know what to say.

“Azrael I…” I paused not knowing what to say anymore.

“Are you scared?” He asked.

I nodded “the last war had took everything from me including my own identity. I was homeless, mateless and became an orphan. I have become the roamer in the forest, a rogue. I thought I would live that way but fate played another game with me and we met. Though I don’t regret it but I also don’t want my happiness to betray me again” I raised my hand and touched his cheek “no matter what I don’t want to lose you. This is scaring me more”

“Reese” he whispered as he closed his eyes. There was a moment of silence in the room. Only our breath could be heard. I swallowed hard and continued.

“All my life I have chased after the wrong people. I have betrayed someone’s innocence and hurted a lot of people in the name of finding happiness. I know I really don’t deserve this chance I got. I don’t deserve you after what I did” a tear escaped my eyes. The pain I felt suddenly surged up in my chest making it unbearable. My chest felt stuffy blended with numerous guilt. No matter how much I try to banish those thoughts I just couldn’t. Because it would come running to me again and again.

“But now, you have become the sole part of my life, my other half and the air I breathe to live” I joined our foreheads, “I couldn’t lose you Azrael, I would die without you. Life without you is just unacceptable”

“Reese” he whispered and kissed me. I let his gentle touch warm my heart to wash all those unnecessary thoughts erupting in my heart and mind. After the sweet honeyed kiss he pulled away. “There is no way I will leave you or let you leave me. I promised you that didn’t I?”

I nodded my head.

“I know you must be scared because of what’s happening in our life. But this is how we live and will live. You are my mate, my destined one. I am not going anywhere leaving you alone. To assure you, I will say this again” he grabbed my wrist and pressed my palm on his chest. I can feel his thumping heart under my palm. “Nothing will be able to separate us. Since we are destined this second chance, we will get through every fucking obstacles” his words are too determined to ignore.

“We will get through this” I whispered back. Azrael was about to say something when the howling of thousands of wolves roared outside. I was startled at the sound and Azrael’s expression changed.

“Is this…?”

“They are here” Azrael said even before I could finish my words.

“They mean Hell Hound?” I gasped.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

He nodded, “fuck they are kind of fast. We guessed it already but they came before our planned period”

I swallowed my saliva and looked at him “then it’s beginning?”

Azrael turned to me and pursed his lips. He knows clearly what it means. He leaned down and kissed my forehead. “Remember what I said, will you? No matter what I will return back to you and it’s a promise” he got up from bed.

Instantly my hand flew to hold his arm. He looked at me frowning. I got up from bed and tip-toed myself to reach his level. I kissed his lips and smiled “I will wait for you”

He nodded before leaving the room urgently. I watched his back and sighed.

~ Are you afraid? ~ I heard Eve say in my mind.

“I am scared he wouldn’t return back” I sighed “I don’t want to lose him at any cost”

~ you can’t underestimate our mate. They are strong, and smart. They know what they are doing. Isn’t it? ~

I guess Eve is right. Of course Azrael is strong and it’s not easy to defeat him. He even killed Kole. I can assure myself with it. Nothing will happen to him. Nothing.

“You are right, I shouldn’t be this emotional” I shook my head. “I have trained myself to face any challenge. I won’t back down because of this” I said with determination. “I won’t let my emotions take over and play the worst card. This is not me, this is not what I learnt”

~ yes, that’s it. Saving this pack is also our responsibility. Let’s give our all might avd finish all those bastards. As long as they are breathing, I can’t get our happy end ~

“Definitely” I nodded and took a deep breath before I changed my clothes and walked out of the room. It’s not time to stay indoors and wait. This is not our nature. We are born to fight, to face any challenge and to win over all the obstacles. That’s the real us.

JOHN’S POV

“What’s the situation right now?” I asked as I stepped into Cassius’s study room. Hardwick and Devak were already there with a grim expression.

“You got the warning?” Cassius asked.

I nodded, “they are too noisy, it’s impossible to ignore”

“I did expected them to be here but not this fast. It seems they are too eager to finish this off. Demon couldn’t wait anymore but to come here personally” Cassius’s heavy tone sounded in the room.

“Since they are here, he did all the preparation earlier. But it’s not like we are not cautious about it” Hardwick smirked “even if he thinks with his huge army he could have the advantage in this battle then Demon will be too surprised once he discovers the truth. I really want to see that expression. It would be worth watching”

“It’s his own karma which dragged him here. After Kole’s death he was just too impatient and wanted to have my blood in his hand” Cassius replied “John you need to stay alert. Though Kole was discarded by Demon when he died, he was still related to Hell Hound. Demon’s first target will be you. I know you can handle him but remember, as a beta your power is limited while fighting with him. You can stop him for a while but you can’t kill him”

I nodded “don’t worry, I know when to stop. I won’t face him directly but I really want to get on a par with him. I want to see how strong he could be”

“Your prowess is appreciative but don’t do anything hastily. We couldn’t make any mistakes and everything should go according to our plan. Besides, Demon is my prey. He had been creating troubles in my life for years already and finally I have getting this chance to get even” Cassius shook his head before his gaze falling on me again “and I want you to clear my way towards him and I know you are the best in it”

I smirked “you can count on me”

He nodded “I know you have never disappointed me John and you never will. So let’s get back to the planning again” he pointed to the map which was spread on the desk earlier for discussion. “Demon must be here” Cassius pointed to the circled area in the map. “With the speed he could only get here at this moment. He will be taking the charge to attack the pack directly and had ordered his men to spread around”

“Demon will never come alone, he knows it well it’s dangerous to step in here without proper planning. I guess he has already had his men surround us” I said to them.

“Let him think he has got all the possible advantages. It’s better to let your enemy think he was on the winning point which will excite him more and make him make mistakes which originally give us the chance to advantage ourselves” Hardwick marked a few more areas on the map. “I have already instructed our man to hide here, here and here. These places are perfect for the final execution. If it goes with the plan then Demon is fucking doomed to face his death”

“Since everything is set now I guess ai should leave for the security area. Since Demon is here his army must have reached their pre-planned places to weaken us” Devak suggested.

“Right, I am counting on you in this matter” Cassius nodded.

“Don’t worry, I don’t like bugs and I am really good at kicking them out. Besides, it has been days since I had a good fight. This Demon really blessing me to stretch my body”

“Whatever it is, good luck” Cassius said while Devak grinned and turned around leaving the room.

“I am going to take the position. I will be at backward and signal my men to execute the final plan. And along with that I will clear up the backyard for you” Hardwick said.

“John and I will keep him busy in the front,” Cassius nodded.

“Don’t forget to keep my part too, I still have few things to get even with him” Hardwick winked and left.

Cassius sighed “it’s time which we were waiting for such a long time. Are you ready?”

“I am always ready”

He nodded and we walked out of the study. Before I followed him I turned around to look where my room was located.

“Wait for me baby, I will return soon” I uttered under my breath before turning around and leaving the place.
