Claiming His Resisting Mate

JOHN’S POV

“Damn that bastard, I knew it should have been his work” Cassius angrily slapped the table. He had that furious look on his face. “Demon’s work strategy is really good. He knows where to pinch to make his enemy hurt”Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

“I was not expecting him to do such a thing. He attacked my pack from the west side. Though there was no major crisis reported but it still got affected” Hardwick looked apathetic. It was his pack we are talking about yet he didn’t seem concerned about it.

“You pack needs your attention. You have been here for quite a long time now. And leaving your pack to run without an Alpha, Demon really took the advantage of it. If you want to check for the damages caused by the sudden attack, I suggest you leave today. After all, your pack needs their Alpha ” Cassius sighed. I can see the unwillingness in his eyes yet as an Alpha he knows the responsibility and couldn’t stop Hardwick.

“Demon could only think of Dark Forest to attack and he knows that it will be a little easier since their Alpha is not there. As for Snow Moon, he couldn’t think since dad is still here handling the pack” Devak said slowly. He tapped the table and continued, “to tell the truth Demon is really clever, he already counter measured everything before laying out his plan. And the first thing he could do to reduce our force is to split us and naturally it will split our power along”

“He had already planned something and we knew it already but he is still not taking the direct action yet playing his cards slowly. He knew he couldn’t go against us directly because even if he is considered powerful, he is still alone while we have the combined power. This is also the reason he couldn’t rest well and play tricks like this” I said, shrugging my shoulders.

“To put everything together, at the end he still affected Dark Forest. Even if it was a minor attack, we still couldn’t ignore it. Given their underground technique, we couldn’t sit still when Dark Forest had no idea about such techniques” Cassius shook his head before his gaze fell on Hardwick again who seemed to me immensely quiet. He hadn’t uttered any concerning words since we sat down for the discussion.

Just then Luna Adriana, Savannah and Tanea walked in. Luna Savannah looked concerned as she walked towards Hardwick and stood beside him.

“What happened? What about this urgent call?” She inquired slowly.

“Demon attacked Dark Forest” Hardwick’s reply was simple and short.

“What?” Luna Savannah gasped, “he attacked our pack? Is there any news of injury or anything?”

“No, just a minor attack. And they had fights so many got hurt during that. The report didn’t state any kind of major problem” Hardwick shook his head. Luna Savannah nodded and her expression relaxed.

Hardwick turned to Cassius who was already waiting for his reply, “This attack proved Demon though he is strong but somehow in his heart he is scared. He was not sure if he could win against us which is why he took such steps. He wanted us to split so it will be easier for him to get the winning crown. But he forgot Dark Forest is not weak, nor will get frightened by his attack. Dark Forest has already witnessed several problems and fought with bravery, his minor attack is nothing but a daily play. He knew clearly he couldn’t harm directly this is why he took the minor side” he paused for a moment, “don’t worry, I am not leaving until I make sure there is no Demon in this world. As for the security of Dark Forest, my beta is able to handle it. There are people who could run the pack just fine without the Alpha himself. I wouldn’t be staying here if I was not sure about my Pack’s security in the first place”

Cassius revealed a smile, “thank you Hardwick, Demon’s plan was really good, if there others in your place, they would have thought about his pack and wouldn’t be this rational”

“The current problem is named Demon. And nothing will be solved even if I return to pack. Though Demon and I didn’t have any enmity first, but now we are considered one. So as long as he was there free, and breathing we can never sit still have the peace we all want” Hardwick replied.

“Great, besides I am worried about Reese, if there is a war then we also need to make sure of her safety. She just endured the biggest hit and her body has not recovered yet. Given that her wolf is still unconscious there is no chance for her to help herself. It will be better for us to stay closer to ensure her safety” Luna Savannah said.

“Right, we are trying hard to cheer her on. She was deeply hurt and she needs a long time to finally be able to move freely as before” Adriana nodded.

“How about we have a barbecue in the yard today?” Tanea suggested. “She will be happy, to eat together and enjoy the little time. I mean she has been staying in the infirmary all the time, I am really surprised she could endure it. If I were her, I would have been crazy”

“Everyone is not like you” Devak teased her.

Luna Tanea threw him a glare “what do you mean by that? Do you want to-”

“Hands up, I surrender” Devak didn’t let her complete and raised his hands in the air.

“Better” Luna Tanea smiled sweetly.

“But she was restricted from eating meat,” Adriana recalled.

“No problem, because it’s a barbecue, the dish really doesn’t have to be meat all the time. I guess we could still use seafoods, and there will other items too”

“Right, the main point is to help cheer her up, what we eat is nothing as long as she is happy” Luna Savannah added.

I smiled hearing their plan. Though the danger of the war is lurking around, we couldn’t just talk about it. We had already made the plan and were just waiting for the right time. But my mate also needed to be treated well. Since they are planning to enjoy little time it can be managed. I looked at the men who were looking at their wives. They didn’t protest nor interject their plan. Looks like they also want to enjoy time with them. I couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. Once this war problem is done, I will make Reese my wife.

Just thinking about marrying her, I could feel my body getting excited. God, I just couldn’t wait anymore.

REESE’S POV

“Done, I see your wounds are healing fast now. I guess your wolf will be up soon” Phoebe placed down the ointment and smiled.

“Do you think so?” I can feel the excitement inside me. “I just couldn’t wait for Eve to talk to me again. It has already been several days”

“Oh, your wolf called Eve?”

I nodded, “yes, she is always talking to me. And now feeling her silence in my head I feel bored”

She smiled, “don’t worry. She will wake up soon and you two can talk again. Since your wounds are improving I guess you can start your body movements. Try to move your legs and felt it it hurts”

I nodded and tried to move my legs. Because I have been sitting for days I felt like my legs were numb and I could feel anything.

“I guess my legs are frozen” I chuckled, “I couldn’t feel anything at all”

Phoebe nodded, “it’s because you have been sitting for long” she rubbed my legs and pinched in a few places. “Here try again”

“Wow” I was surprised when my legs finally moved. With a grin I looked at Phoebe, “your hands are magic”

Phoebe laughed, “it’s just a function of your nerves that needs little push to let them know they are still alive. Anyways come, try to get up” she moved towards me and held my hand.

Slowly moving my hand I dangled it and took a deep breath before trying to get up. First attempt failed when I fell back on bed. Phoebe said encouraging words and helped me again. This time I was able to stand with her help. Most of my body was leaning to her for support.

“Okay, so try taking slow steps okay” she said and I did.

“Does it hurt?” She asked.

I shook my head “no, but I feel like it’s not energetic as before. I don’t know if I could help myself to stand properly and depends on it”

“After a few more practices you will be fine. Your nerves were not active as you haven’t used your legs. And also because of kneeling too much your knees are hurt and lose their energy. Turner will check it later and provide you with medicine, it will help you regain your energy”

“I must say thanks to Turner then in advance” I smiled. I can move and stand straight.

“Okay I am letting you go. Let’s see how long you can stand on your own”

I nodded. Slowly she let go of my hand but she was prepared for me to help.

“How do you feel?” She asked.

“I feel heavy. I never knew I have this heavy body” I joked and she smiled.

“You are funny”

I nodded “may be. I guess I-” suddenly I felt my legs couldn’t withstand my body pressure and I started to fall back. My eyes widened and I almost screamed in horror when I felt two arms caught me in the mid air.
