Claiming His Resisting Mate

REESE’S POV

“This is the training camp. The new ones who just shifted would train themselves here. We have already provided the basic techniques to get them stronger and understand their power” Azrael explained as we stood in front of the building. It was situated further from the pack mansion.

I gazed at the building, “I never thought there will be a different building for the new trainers”

“Cassius wants this way. He wanted to separate the weak and strong and give them levels. Where the beginners will watch and inspired by the seniors and train hard”

“Alpha Cassius’s conviction about making the pack strong is really impressive. He must have strained himself to explore the ideas to get everything under his control” I shook my head when that serious face flashed suddenly.

“You seem to be impressed by him?” His remark made me look at him. Looking at his disconsolate expression I could feel what he was thinking. I knew my mate is possessive but to which level it’s yet to be discovered.

I sighed loudly “don’t tell me you are jealous of your Alpha now?”

“He may be the alpha but you are not allowed to have an extreme impression of him. The only person you should remember is me” he said discontentedly.

I faced him with a helpless smile. Raising my hand I cupped his face. My hands are small compared to his face “there’s no need to be jealous. Yes, I am impressed with his techniques and the way he was ruling. You have already guarded my heart, where no one can invade”

His expression changed, his eyes softened “and I will fucking kill anyone who will snif around you. Fuck, I don’t know how to control myself when you are so beautiful and other males will be after you”

I chuckled “and now you are thinking highly. Get your horses under control, mister. No one will come near me when you are by my side”

“You are that confident?” He asked.

“Yes, because I know you will always be there,” I grinned.

He smirked “I fucking like that idea”.

I giggled and tugged his arm as we moved around. Today after having breakfast Azrael suggested showing me around the pack. I just say Silver Shine is really a huge area. Besides the pack mansion, there are other houses along with the training field and building for beginners. He laced our fingers together as we walked. I couldn’t help but feel warmth in his hold and the love and care he was showing at every chance he gets.

“Savannah invited us for the birthday party” I said slowly.

“You want to go?”

I nodded “I really want to meet that little guy. He must be big now”

“Since you have such a desire then we will go. Alpha Hardwick told us about it. And Cassius seemed to want to join the party. This will be the official meeting in the public”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“That’s great, Adriana and I have already decided to go shopping for the party. I couldn’t hold back my excitement. I felt like I still have a family and I am going to meet them” I chuckled.

“You patched up with your Sister really fast,” Azrael smiled.

“Savannah is forgiving. She is sweet and kind hearted. Well she was always like this. It’s just me who ignores it every time. But I am glad I could seek forgiveness and continue our sisterhood” I said feeling relaxed.

“I am glad you are happy ” he nodded. We looked at each other and smiled.

“Beta John” I turned to find the source of the voice who just butt in. I found the familiar bright blue eyes staring at us.

“Zaniyah?” Azrael frowned.

“I hope I haven’t disturbed you” she smiled sweetly adding the extra sweetness much to my liking. She was saying after disturbing, it was more like playing an innocent act after destroying everything.

“What’s the matter?” Azrael asked again.

“Alpha wants to meet you in the study,” she replied.

“Okay” Azrael turned to me, “I have to go now. Will you be fine?”

I was about to reply when Zaniyah decided to butt in again “I will help her to show around. Please don’t worry Beta John” her voice sounded peculiarly gentle.

Azrael didn’t make any comments but he looked at me. I smiled at him to give the assurance that I would be fine. Taking the hint he raised our laced hands and kissed the back of mine which immediately flattered my heart and my love overflowed. This small gentle gesture had me hooked to him. He never failed to prove my importance in his life. After he left I watched him. Zaniyah, who was standing at the side, suddenly turned to me.

“You are his mate?” Her incredibly gentle tone was replaced with a cold texture. I sighed inwardly and focused my gaze on her.

“Why? Do you have any complaints?” I asked.

Zaniyah narrowed her eyes “why are you showing such arrogance? Do you think just because Beta John brought you here, the rumors about your past will fade? Even if no one talks about it because of Beta John, what truth is truth. No one can chahte it”

“What do you want to say? Just get on the main point instead of tiring yourself explaining the outline” I told her, not wanting to hear her secondary story.

She pursed her lips. Her pupils started to change its color as her face hardened instantly, “since you are such a direct person then let me tell you promptly “I am in love with Beta John. I gave up on him when I heard he had found his mate. I thought he would be happy but no, you rejected him and he had to undergo extreme pain. You weren’t there but I have seen him. How much he suffered in these two years. I was waiting for him to get over the pain. I was glad when I heard you were dead. But unfortunately you showed up again. Maybe you are here because he couldn’t control himself. But let me clear one thing, soon you have to leave him. Because with you , he will only get pain”

I knew this girl had something. She has been glaring from the first encounter. And today she came forward warning me. Looking into her eyes I found my own image reflecting in it. There was a time I did the same. I also thought that Savannah wouldn’t be fit to be Avan’s Luna. And today there is Zaniyah taking my place, using the same threat. Her action didn’t surprise me yet it made me amused.

“Do you think you can decide on behalf of him?” I asked slowly, not rushing.

“Do you think I can’t?” She frowned “the truth we both know, I guess it’s not hard to explain. You can’t deny, because of you he had to suffer for years. You are the one who rejected him for another man. Now that the other man is dead, are you after him again? Just what do you think of yourself? Aren’t you satisfied with the consequences? You want to harm him more?”

“You don’t know a thing between us. It’s better for you to stay out of it. I won’t repeat myself” I said, hardening my tone. Even though what she said was true, she has no right to threaten me. I won’t accept it.

“How dare you?” She snapped. “Even after the pain you caused you are not willing to leave him? You want to stick to him now because your lover is dead? That man couldn’t even handle you, that’s why he died. Oh my god, what kind of woman you are” she narrowed her eyes, “now I understand. You are nothing but a dick lover. A woman who couldn’t wait to open her legs to get benefits. You are a woman who can do everything to hold onto a man with power. Alas Beta John couldn’t see such truth. He have to-”

“It’s enough Zaniyah” a strong voice sounded behind us. I glanced over to see Adriana standing a few feets away. She walked to us and glared at Zaniyah.

“Luna I…” Zaniyah stammered.

Adriana raised her hand to stop her “enough, I have heard what I should have. I don’t need your explanation anymore”

“But Luna she-” Zaniyah tried to argue.

“Now you are talking back to me?” Adriana raised her voice using such a tone which made us startled. I looked at her with surprise. She was such a sweet woman with a gentle voice. But the time she used right now was different from her usual one.

“I am sorry” Zaniyah uttered, lowering her head. She looked like a submissive one.

“You have disappointed me so much. Even if you dislike someone, the pack doesn’t give you the right to insult anyone here. You have violated the rules. Now go to the teaching room to get your punishment ” Adriana ordered.

“Yes” Zaniyah didn’t raise her head anymore and quietly left.

Adriana turned to me with a worried expression “I am sorry for her behavior. She is sometimes impulsive”

I gave a small smile and shook my head “You don’t have to worry. I am fine”

Adriana held my hand “Reese, I know it will be hard. But don’t take it to heart , okay?”

“I know” I smiled sadly and looked where Zaniyah’s figure was walking away, “what she said is not wrong. No matter how much I want to forget, my past will hunt me down in different form” I uttered.

This is the harsh truth, it could never change. Never.
