Claiming His Resisting Mate

REESE’S POV

I gasped at him. What did I hear? Was it right? Or my ear was just buzzing with nonsense? I shook my head and looked at him closely.

“Molesting? And you?” My voice was filled with doubts? Even if The Moon Goddess would come down to personally deliver this information, I wouldn’t believe her too. This matter is fucking baseless and impossible.

“Why?” Azrael smiled, “don’t you believe it? I am a man after all. I also have needs and beautiful women are the greatest prey. How long do you think I could handle my desire of release in my hot-blooded youth?”

I rolled my eyes “you are really funny Azrael. Whom are you deceiving here?”

He laughed out “you are still not believing it darling?” He tugged my hand with his free hand and smiled “what if the accusations are true? Haven’t you thought about it?”

I stared at him, pursing my lips. A man who drowned in agony for me, who waited even after rejection. Who would go crazy if he hadn’t seen me for a while and who would be too jealous if a man walked past me. How could I build the seed of doubt in my heart? The thought already sounds so stupid.

“Just tell me the truth. Don’t try to provoke me” I warned him, throwing a glare.

“Oh?” He raised an eyebrow with a challenging look “what are you intending to do?”

I smiled “Azrael do you want me to lock you in the room and get myself comfortable outside. I don’t mind spending a night in another room. Besides, I think that’s a good idea. You are already hurt and your wound is still fresh. You really need a scheduled time for yourself to heal better. I will ask Adriana to arrange another -”

“DON’T FUCKING THINK ABOUT IT” his yelling stopped me in middle. God, this man almost made me deaf.

“Why are you shouting? I was considering your health. Don’t you want to heal faster? I was just offering you good planning for that” I faked innocence and blinked my eyes to him.

“Don’t test my patience Reese, it could run out anytime. I don’t even know what I would do if that happens” he groaned.

“You are funny Azrael. You were asking to believe the accusations yet you couldn’t even prove it with your action”

He looked at me “wait, was that-”

“I am not accepting anymore crap here. You better tell me about the accusations. And I want the truth”

He sighed “fine, I am sorry. I just wanted to tease you”

“So what happened?” I asked curiously.

“Well it happened before I found you. The woman who accused me was none other than Cassius’s own cousin”

My eyes widened “what? Alpha’s own cousin?”. This was shocking since Adriana never said a word about Alpha Cassius having a cousin too. She only spoke about his parents. I guess the matter was taboo here.

“That matter was silenced by Cassius and no one would mention her ” Azrael shook his head, “After Cassius took the Alpha position, there was only his cousin as his family. Her name was Riahna, and her parents were dead long ago. She was raised alongside Cassius and they shared the siblings’ bond. But unlike Cassius, Riahna was too arrogant. She even had discord with Luna too. There was a time when Riahna insulted Luna and Luna being the fierce one punished her infront of Cassius. Cassius was in trouble and couldn’t take their side. So he left the matter as it was and stopped interfering in their matter. Luna was not in favor with him so Cassius feared his any action would upset her ” he chuckled.

“It sounds like Riahna is a stubborn and kind of bitch type?” I frowned at my own words. Oh my god, did I just say that?

“You can say that. Riahna didn’t like Luna so she was always against her. One day she asked me to help her. She even confessed that she has feelings for me. But I rejected and avoided her advances. She was always trying to find a chance to seduce me” Azrael sighed.

“Was she beautiful?” I asked.

“Well, yes. But that doesn’t mean everyone will love her because of the beauty she has. One day, when I returned from training she was there in my room wearing almost nothing and waiting. She even tried to use her charm and left no stone unturned to seduce me. Instead of feeling aroused I felt disgusted. In anger I slapped her. She was angry and scolded me calling names before storming out of the room. I almost thought it was the end but man I was wrong. Because she played another trick and accused me for trying to molest her”

I gasped “she is such an evil. She really played a disgusting role”

“Almost everyone believed in the pack. Because I was single at that time and a mateless wolf will always be in great heat. So Riahna just took the advantage of the situation”

“So Alpha Cassius didn’t believe her?”

“No, though she tried hard for Cassius to believe but Cassius was furious at her. He didn’t listened to her words and directly banished her from the pack”

“It must be a hard decision for Alpha, after all they grew up together and shared the siblings bond for years” I sighed.

“This is what I admire in Cassius. He is strong and could take the right decision no matter how hard it is. He always proved that he really deserves the title of being the Alpha”

I smiled “Silver Shine has him which is why the name was still glorious”‘

Azrael nodded in agreement “right”.

“Okay, it’s already late now. I think you should take some rest. Turner said you need good rest and let your body heal properly” I tugged the duvet over him.

“Everything seems lonely without you sweetheart” I couldn’t help but laugh at his words.

Next morning I met the girls in the garden. They set the hot coffee and snacks there. It was like enjoying the view with a hot coffee.

“Everyone looked so refreshed” I smiled as I sat down.

“Yeah, finally that monster is out of the tension” Tanea rolled her eyes while sipping her coffee. “I couldn’t believe he is really no more”

“Believe it because this is the truth. I heard Hardwick say that Alpha Cassius was too vicious towards him. Demon’s limbs were cut before he was beheaded. His body was burnt in the end. Alpha Cassius wanted Demon to become ashes” Savannah said as her face twisted in disgust.

“That serves him right. Who told him to interfere in other’s lives so much? He was a kind of person who drank blood and ate others alive. For a person like him to stay alive is already a great sin on this earth. I still wonder that he could live all these years and rule a pack under his watch” Tanea frowned.

“Demon was a dark existence in our life. Even after his brother’s death we couldn’t live a peaceful life because the Demon was still there lurking around. But I knew there will be a time for everything to get settled. Avd I believe that today is the day” Adriana smiled. “Finally Silver Shine can take a breath of relief”

“Everyone took part in this battle. And if it weren’t for all of you, we couldn’t get through these hardships” I said, making them smile.

“Demon not only has his influence on you but also on us. Until he was perfectly removed from the surface of the earth we couldn’t stay peaceful”

“Tanea is right” Suddenly Savannah looked sad. “all these days, we didn’t even know how it went” she sighed. “We have experienced a lot together and get to know each other better. Even our relationship became stronger. And now that everything is settled here, I guess it was time to return our home”

The thought of separation had us saddened. We sighed. It was fun to have all of them here. We have enjoyed so much and learnt many things together. But we can’t stay like this since everyone has their own responsibility to fulfill.

“It’s really sad. Oh my god, I felt like I was about to cry” Tanea waved her hand.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Have you decided when you are going?” I asked with a heavy heart. I really don’t want them to leave. Not at this moment.

“Devak and I will be leaving today, ” Tanea said. “It has been a long time since we left home. And now I started missing my little man back there. Last night dad called and told me my son was too desperate for me. I couldn’t wait for long, ” Tanea replied with a sad smile.

“Hardwick has some work with Alpha Cassius so he said we will live tomorrow,” Savannah said.

“It’s like, it will be only me and Reese from now on,” Adriana smiled.

“Come on, it’s not like we will never be able to meet again. Cheer up girls. It’s not the end. It’s just a temporary separation with a promise we will meet again” Tanea said.

We looked at each other and smiled. She was right. It’s not the end.

“Let’s cheer for us” Savannah raised her coffee cup “with a hot coffee” she grinned.

We laughed and raised our cups to join the cheer. In this time we found the happiness we were looking for. The war we faced together has given us an enormous chance to build a strong bond. Someone says correctly everything happens for a reason and we have to go with the flow. We could not predict our future but could only live in the present. Let our Karma decide our fate.
