Claiming His Resisting Mate

REESE’S POV

Azrael’s handsome face came into view as he looked at me with a frown.

I heard Phoebe let out a sigh of relief. “Oh my God, Reese you almost scared me to death”

“What the hell is happening?” Azrael hissed. He pulled me up and supported me holding my waist. I leaned on him, feeling my legs had become jelly.

Phoebe shuddered with his expression. I rolled my eyes.

“You don’t have to blame her like that. She was helping to get on my feets. We were just practicing when I suddenly felt my body losing energy and couldn’t call her for help. Before she could help me you came to me” I was sure, even if he didn’t arrive in time Phoebe would have caught me before I hit the floor. Afterall werewolves have fast speed and strength.

He didn’t say a word and scooped me up before gently placing me on bed.

“I will come and check on you later” Phoebe had the look of apologetic as she left the room in hurry. I felt bad for her. Poor her, she has been trying to help me yet had to face Azrael’s cold glare. I really didn’t want that to happen. I sighed, shaking my head.

“Why do you have to glare at her? She looked embarrassed and scared” I scolded him as soon as the door was closed.

“You were about to fall,” he reasoned, sitting on the bed facing me.

“She would have caught me in time. She was helping me to walk. And she was too careful about my body condition. You haven’t seen how frightened she was when she saw me falling and you scared her like that. That is not fair” I shook my head. Phoebe is such a sweetheart. She has been tending my wounds and helping me with medicine to cure me. I really don’t want to leave any kind of bad impression on her.

“Okay I am sorry, I was too concerned about you. Your body was not good and if you fell, it would hurt you more. I was shocked when I saw you falling when I just stepped inside the room. That kind of scene was not what I expected to see. And I didn’t mean to scare her like, it just happened naturally” Azrael shrugged. Though he said he was sorry for scaring her, his eyes told another story. I couldn’t help but sigh.

“Azrael can you be little serious about it. Phoebe has been tending my wounds since I woke up. I couldn’t touch water nor take a bath because it would have the opposite effect on the wounds. But Phoebe helped me to clean my body everyday so that I wouldn’t stink. She is helping me so much, with applying ointment and giving me timely medicine. How can I repay such gestures? And you had to make her feel embarrassed. How can I endure it?”

He looked at me before sighing “fine, you win. I will talk to Turner and bring a gift for her as a sorry”

I was surprised “what did you say? You will?”

He nodded and cupped my face “she is helping you so much, at least I can do this small thing”

“Do you know you are impossible? Always know how to drag me in your side” I shook my head.

“Because you belong with me” he grinned.

“What about the latter from Dark Forest? Is Savannah going back?” I asked. I almost forgot about that matter. The girls left and didn’t return at all. It’s already evening but there’s no sign of them.

“Demon attacked Dark Forest”

I gasped “what? Oh my god”

“Don’t be surprised. It is under expectations though. We all knew he was a cunning bastard and also a scared wolf who couldn’t wait to bring his claws out. But he forgot his tricks and intentions are long seen by us” I could see him clenching his jaw.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

“So what about Dark Forest? Is everything alright there?”

“They are fine. Demon knows he couldn’t get upper hands and only caused a few minor damages. There was no report of death from Dark Forest. Hardwick has assured his security system was tight and Demon even if he wanted couldn’t go further than that”

“It’s a relief then” I sighed, “Demon is born by Satan. All his actions are heartbreaking and full of disgust. I don’t understand how such people still have the chance to breathe in this world. He was a thorn in people’s peaceful life” I frowned.

“You don’t have to worry about this matter. Whether he wanted to or not, he had to face his own Karma. He will pay for everything for what he did in the past. Hardwick has already said he won’t be leaving till Demon has the free breath take. If he goes then he will make sure there is no Demon in this world”

“Alpha Hardwick really set his mind on killing the Demon , didn’t he?”

“He is. Maybe it started from the day when Demon’s people ruined his son’s birthday” Azrael chuckled.

“Why are you laughing? What would you do if this kind of thing happened to you? Would you sit still if your son’s celebration is also ruined like-” my words stopped in the middle when I realized what I was speaking. Suddenly my heart filled with agony. I almost forgot that I couldn’t get pregnant again. This is a curse that is hard to accept. I made up my mind and tried to live. But seeing others having the chance to hold their own flesh and blood my heart clenches inside. I feel the heaviness growing and wouldn’t stop until I die.

“I am sorry, I shouldn’t have said that” I whispered, lowering my head. I couldn’t look into his eyes anymore. This curse was nothing but the karma of my own. For deceiving my own self and rejecting my mate. It was the repayment of every bad thing I have done. How could I celebrate my happiness when I was the one snatching others’ peace and making them suffer? After meeting Azrael and feeling his love and care, I almost forgot who I was actually.

Azrael grabbed my chin and pulled my head up so that I could look into his eyes “you are thinking about the past again”. There was no regret in his eyes nor any kind of resentment. How come someone is so perfect in every way I look? How come I was so foolish that I didn’t recognise his true heart?

My eyes immediately brimmed with tears “I couldn’t help it. Adriana, Savannah and Tanea they all blessed their mates with an heir to succeed their position. And here I am even if I have such a desire I just couldn’t do anything about it. And I also know it’s all because of my own fault. If I was not a fool to see things clearly my body wouldn’t refuse to give you the ultimate happiness” I feel so low and my whole body is burning with regret.

“You think having a child will bring the ultimate happiness?” He questioned pinching my chin.

“Azrael I-”

“You have been with me yet you still don’t know about my intention? If I was thinking about the baby, you wouldn’t be here at all. But that’s not what I want or need. My ultimate happiness is you. If you are by my side, I will be happy. For two years I suffered from the pain thinking you are dead. I couldn’t think of anything. Sometimes I thought it would have been better to have kidnapped you that night instead of rejecting. You would have resisted but for how long? Our bond would have melted you in my arms after sometime” he let out a throaty chuckle. “That was the biggest mistake I made. I didn’t hear my heart but my mind which caused me great suffering. If you think the problem of a baby could make you escape from me then you need to think again darling” his time his tone became hard and his eyes darkened. He pressured my chin and I could feel pain. But I endured it and looked into his eyes.

“Azrael” I called out his name, almost whispering. He leaned down and claimed my lips with a passionate kiss. He sucked my lips like it was his favorite candy. Slowly nipping my lips his tongue pushed inside harshly. I moaned when I felt him playing his tongue in my mouth. I could taste his masculine darkness tangled with extreme passion. He didn’t stop with that as he rolled his tongue and played with mine before sucking my tongue. I don’t know how long we have been kissing after finally he decided to let it go.

I panted, closing my eyes. What happened? I felt my eyes were blurry. He was so forceful and wouldn’t stop until he exhausted me completely. Because of my weak body I couldn’t stand his force. He pinched my chin again and made me look at his eyes.

“If you say anything like that again, I will fucking fuck you hard and raw without considering if your body could take it or not” he hissed. I knew he was angry. But his words sent chills through my nerves and my body suddenly got excited. His dark eyes gazing at me piercing my soul.

“I am sorry” I uttered feeling helpless.

He pecked my lips “you should remember it darling. I don’t want you to torture yourself with such nonsensical thoughts again. Do you understand me?”

I nodded my head.

“I need words darling,” he said, making sure I voice out the answer..

“Yes” I replied knowing he wouldn’t let it go until I do as he says.

“Good, now let’s go. I came to take you with me” he got up from bed.

“Take me where?” I frowned.

“Well, your friends are too excited and they prepared something for you”

“What?” I smiled. Are these girls planning now?

He smiled “something that will make you happy. It was more like a family time” he bent down and picked me up again.

“I feel like I have a big family now” I replied as I held his shoulder.

“You do,” he nodded as he started to walk towards the door.

“What are they planning?”

“You will know soon”

I rolled my eyes. This man knows how to kill a cat with curiosity.
