Claiming His Resisting Mate

REESE’S POV

“Sigh, finally the culprits have been punished” Savannah sighed. “This love fact is really dangerous. On one side it gives everything and on the other side it takes everything”

“I have witnessed many” Adriana sipped her tea as she said, “journey with Cassius was not easy, especially when our relationship started from hate. I have encountered so many love sick woman who could go to any extent to get what they want, and Zaniyah’s case was not an exception”

“Now I feel like I am the third wheel,” I said and both of them looked at me.

“What nonsense are you saying Reese?” Adriana asked. “Are you taking Zaniyah’s words so seriously?”

I looked at her, “though she was wrong but whatever she said is not” I shook my head, “no matter how much I try, I really couldn’t wash my past. It will go everywhere with me. I know what Zaniyah did was wrong yet I could see myself at her place because I was once in her position” my gaze moved towards Savannah “and you know it well enough”

“Yes, you were in her position” Savannah agreed.

“Savannah?” Adriana gasped as she looked at her.

Savannah shook her head “but you are not her. You are different from her. Yes, I couldn’t disagree with the fact that you were once like her, but that you and her are not the same. Zaniyah became insane, she wanted to get Azrael no matter what. And for that she was even ready to kill you. But you weren’t like her. You knew that Avan never loved me. You just used the situation. Yet you never harmed me using deadly tricks like Zaniyah even though you thought of it. You need to get yourself out of the past Reese, don’t forget you have a future with your mate now. Before you blame yourself or think anything foolish, just spare a second and think about him”

I rubbed my neck and sighed “I know, that’s why I couldn’t help myself ”

“Reese, there are things we couldn’t change and we all know it. John has accepted you because he loves you and wants you by his side. Don’t take tests for his sacrifices. Men are too proud yet he lowered himself only for you. You can’t neglect it. Can you?” Adriana asked.

“That’s the reason I am still here. I have promised myself and him that I will make our relationship work. I don’t want to see him in pain, specially when I can help it”

“Great” Adriana grinned, “that’s what I am thinking. You have always priven how strong you are. I know it’s not easy not to think of the past and try to move on when you know the past will always hunt like a nightmare. But you are trying to overcome and help John to live his life normally. Oh Reese, you don’t understand yourself, how strong you are”

“Yes, she is right, ” Savannah nodded. “You have sacrificed your own family to take the side of truth Reese. If you weren’t there, maybe I wouldn’t be here today” she sighed. “Hardwick still talks about your contribution, the way you stand out against your family even when you know what will be the result of it”

“Okay, you two don’t get me too emotional. I feel like crying now” I chuckled.

“We can just let it out silently,” Adriana said. “But if those stone faced men see us like this, they would think we are planning something” at the end she joked which made us laugh.

“Hardwick will tense, he would think I am planning to stay away from him” Savannah chuckled.

“That ….” Adriana paused then suddenly something crossed her face. This girl is really thinking something bad again.

“Don’t tell me you are thinking anything funny” I shook my head.

She grinned, “look it will be quite fun. I mean come on. Those men are always demanding. We really need to teach them a good lesson”

“Good lesson?” Savannah frowned, “tell me what are you thinking?”

Adriana gave a wicked smile “I think we could just enjoy a little space for a day. What do you say?”

“Wait, wait are you thinking about hiding?” Savannah’s eyes widened. “Oh god, they will go crazy you know”

“That’s what I want darling. Don’t lie, you guys love the possessive and passionate side of your mates. Evoking a little fear in them it’s not wrong. I am telling you the result will be too satisfying”

“Okay you’re on but leave me from this evil plan of yours” I shook my head.

“Why is that?” Adriana frowned, “Reese come on you can’t be that boring. Add little spice in your life darling”

I smiled, “your spice will elicit lava from the volcano in my life. You know how insecure my mate is. Maybe it will be for fun but I am not ready to give him any fear of me leaving him” I shook my head, “after that poison incident he had become more fearful. I am not gonna plan anything at this moment. You two can plan but I am not gonna involve myself”

I had enough of the fear in his eyes. I couldn’t see him hurt anymore. It’s better to give him the assurance he needed.

“Ay, so sweet. It’s fine but only two of us won’t make it exciting” Adriana frowned.

“Let’s drag Tanea too,” Savannah suggested. “I am telling you, that girl won’t leave a single chance to irritate my brother. She will jump into the plan as soon as she hears about it”

“Great” Adriana grinned. “That’s the spirit I want”

I shook my head as I looked at them. They are behaving like they have been friends for years. No one could tell they just met recently. At the end, they called Tanea and informed about the plan which the other lady agreed to immediately. Their planning was fixed on the pack meeting day. Though I am not engaging myself in this matter, I was curious to hear their planning.

In the evening I was reading a book in my room while Azrael decided to show up. He removed his shirt and threw it on the bed as he walked towards me. He sat beside me before lying down placing his head on my lap. His hand captured mine as he placed with my fingers.

“What happened? You look tired today” I said, stroking his hair with my other hand.

“Hmmm… the pack meeting time was fixed today. It will be in two days”

“It’s great, I really loved the girl’s company” I grinned.

“You are thinking about having fun now?”

“I can’t help it” I giggled and leaned down pecking his lips. “Why do you sound so serious? Anything happened in the meeting?”

“Jaxson looked bad. Since was sent to the Training Prison, it looked like he couldn’t digest the information about this matter”

I sighed, “Jaxson? Zaniyah’s brother?”

“Hmmm”

“I knew Zaniyah didn’t like me when I first met her. She was always glaring at me with those sharp eyes. It was like she would kill me if there’s chance. She was always hostile towards me. I thought it would go away with time or maybe there’s something she didn’t like about me. But I was not expecting her to be this angry and even plan to take my life. Her love has become her poison and against it, she couldn’t see anything let alone distinguishing between good and bad”

“Why didn’t you tell me before?” Azrael frowned.

“I thought it would go away with time but who would have known she would be this crazy? Besides at that time we were fighting with each other”

He let out a groan ” I have never taken her as a woman, which a man could fantasize about. She was always that little girl and a sister of Jaxson. I don’t know how she expected that there could be something between us”

“A desired heart never thinks for the result. To be honest, I was just like Zaniyah. Desiring about something which was not mine. I have never thought about the consequences yet went along with what I wanted. I refused to see what’s right and wrong. All I know is what I want” I sighed. “And now that dark fantasy has put me into abyss ruining my whole being”

Azrael stopped playing with my hand and got up. I looked at him as he frowned. “Why do you always compare yourself with others?”

“I was not comparing ” I shook my head. “I was just judging myself and my deeds of the past. Now that I look back I want to laugh at myself. I was such a fool to believe hurting others would give me pleasure. And now this Zaniyah’s matter, it reminds me of my past self”Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

He held my hand and squeezed it lightly. “You are not going to think that way. I know some situations will remind you of the past but it won’t change the fact how much I love you. I can forget the past and live in the present and dream about the future. Can’t you just take my hand and dream with me?”

My heart immediately jumped when I heard him. How can I be so lucky to have him? I never dreamt of having him as my mate. But now it seemed like no one could be better than him. I am glad I am forced to accept this chance. I am glad he didn’t give up through my resistance.

“I love you Azrael” I cried out hugging him tightly. I don’t know what I will do without you” I sobbed.

“I love you my love. To the point I can’t explain with words” he whispered as he embraced me.
