Claiming His Resisting Mate

REESE’S POV

“I knew it, I knew it,” Tanea screamed. “Didn’t I say he may propose to her?” She smirked towards Savannah who rolled her eyes.

“You seemed too excited? Why?” Savannah retorted.

“Why can’t I? My words finally come true and of course I am happy about it. And just look at that shimmering ring in her hand, isn’t it gorgeous to show how prideful it is?” She took my hand and raised it to show my ring.

“I knew John would give this” Adriana laughed, “that man looks for perfection and of course nothing can be more perfect than Carnelian”

“You knew it?” I frowned at her.

“Yes, when it comes to doing something unique Cassius and John have the same viewpoint. They will never let go of the opportunity to flaunt their pride” she raised her hand showing her beautiful princess cut wedding ring.

“Wow, this looks perfect” Savannah smiled, “other than the color and cutting style both looks gorgeous”

“Adriana, your one is dark red, while Reese got the vermilion” Tanea looked back and forth between me and Adriana. “And you say, both come from the same crystal?”

“This has varieties” Adriana shrugged, “I have seen a reddish brown shade but I don’t know where Cassius got this color code. When I think of it, it really amaze me sometimes”

I looked down at my ring. Tanea said it right, the crystal was shimmering and it’s really beautiful. I couldn’t express how happy I am. My birthday last night was the best one in my life. We cut the cake again which the girls saved only for us and enjoyed our time. I guess if my body wasn’t injured then Azrael would have fucked me all night without showing any mercy. But the kind of physical action we exchanged yesterday was hugging and a sweet kiss on my forehead. Without getting hot at all, that was the sweetest moment I could ever dream for.

“Wow, now someone is in dreamland. Hello” I saw a hand waved in front of me. “Reese dear, are you still there?” Tanea frowned.

“Hey, I was just thinking about something. What were you doing?” I pushed her hand away frowning.

“Look, says the one who was busy dreaming about her mate” Tanea teased with a chuckle while others laughed.

“You two?” I threw an accusing glare at Savannah and Adriana.

“We couldn’t help it. You really did look funny engrossed in your thoughts. I mean sometimes smiling and then blushing. Your cheeks are still pink” Savannah laughed. I raised my hand and rubbed my chin.

“You guys are too much. Can’t I think about my mate?”

“Of course you can but yo~ you need to consider our girl time too. You can’t always engage yourself into thinking about your mate while we look at you like you are kind of entertainment” Tanea shrugged carelessly.

“You are exaggerating now Tanea” giving her an eye roll I ignored her presence in the room. Though she has the kind of personality to light a gloomy mood, sometimes you can find her really annoying.

“Come on, we have witnesses here darling. Even if you want to deny, you can but will you be able to stop the eyes from watching your dreamland drama?”

My jaw dropped hearing her words. Oh my god, I take my words back. She is not annoying but the queen of annoyance. She could kill anyone with her words and have the ability to burn others with frustration. I rubbed my temple not knowing what to reply to her. My word list dropped instantly when facing this woman in front of me. The door of the room opened and Phoebe showed up. She was holding medicine in her hand.

“I hope your night was well” she greeted with a smile.

“It was thank you,” I nodded.

“Of course it will be” the devil woman at the side decided to join in again. “Look at the shimmering ring in her finger Phoebe, can you imagine how well her night was? The birthday girl got her proposal” Tanea squealed loudly. Phoebe, who had a surprise look, swiftly turned towards me.

“Is it?” She had the bright smile on her face, “congratulations then”

“Thank you” I blushed. Hell, I couldn’t fight the hotness of my face, it’s crawling now and then. It felt like Tanea was right about the dramatic words.

“Aw…. Didn’t I tell you, see she is blushing again” Tanea laughed making me glare at her. This presumptuous woman.

“Well I guess her wounds are getting healed isn’t it?” Adriana said ignoring the other woman laughing hard. “Her red mark are turning brown now”

“It’s fine, the ointment worked well. It would have worked better and her skin would be flawless by now if her skin was not cut deeply” Phoebe replied. “Along with the tablet she was consuming, I guess she needs two more days to be able to move freely” she handed me a table with a glass of water. Without any words I took the medicine.

Placing the glass on the side table I said, “I really want to get down from this bed. My legs felt numb after sitting like ages. I fear when I could finally allowed to move, I won’t be able to feel my legs anymore”

Phoebe smiled, “don’t worry, after some movement you will be fine. It’s just a matter of time. But the more surprising thing is, your wounds are healing faster than we assumed, which is a good sign. With such rate, you really don’t have to stay long on bed”

“I guess so,” I nodded.

“I will come and give you another medicine after lunch. Then your medicine schedule will be completed” Phoebe said and left the room.

“She is straightforward and professional with her work” Savannah looked at the way where Phoebe left. “Having such stiff expression all the time, doesn’t she gets tired?”

“Phoebe is really strict with her works. I still couldn’t believe Turner is her mate, I mean look at her and Turner. They had different personalities yet they were tied together. Moon Goddess sometimes plays the card so well. She paired the North and South region together” Adrian sighed.

“Hey, Moon Goddess knows how to choose people and pair them as mates, for example look at me and Devak” Tanea rolled her eyes, “that man only knows how to dominate things and if it doesn’t work at all he will force his way towards it. He wouldn’t even care if the other party is willing or not. He only thinks of dominating his place where he wants. And he don’t know how to live a jovial life other than putting such a gloomy face all the time”

“You are not alone dear sister in law” Savannah patted her shoulder. “I can understand your feelings”

“You are not taking your brother’s side?” Tanea frowned.

“Not in this matter” Savannah shook her head, “because I am feeling the same thing. Life with Hardwick is exciting and though I couldn’t deny this fact I also couldn’t disagree about their nature. Does all the Alpha possess the same blood type? They are too dominating to handle”

“Same here” Adriana nodded, “I really wanted to ask if they share the same blood or not. Why did the Moon Goddess have to pair those Alpha males who only know how to subjugate things?”

“If you guys are just forgetting something here” I smiled, catching their attention. Did they forget I am here too? “I am left out. Though I must say my mate has held his title of being the beta, don’t underestimate my situation here because he is no less than your description of males. Remember I was forcefully brought here. I wanted to run yet he sealed my way out, blocking me and even forcing me to accept his domination over my stubbornness”

“You wanted to leave?” Tanea asked. “Why?”

I sighed, “it’s a long story. My first thought about the whole situation was different. I never intended to encounter him again but sometimes we are not destined to choose our path when fate has already planned for it” the scenery of the encounter flashed in my mind. The way Azrael threw me over his shoulder and forced me to be in his pack couldn’t just wash away from my mind. It will always stay as a memorial in the back of my mind.

“Wow, story into story. It’s quite exciting. So what happened next?” Tanea looked interested.

I shrugged, “I tried to run but Silver Shine has those boundaries set for me. And Adriana really played a huge role here” I turned to look at Adriana who smiled.

“I couldn’t help it. John was really devastated when Reese rejected the bond. Though he didn’t say it clearly, we could guess it. John’s mind was out of control and he did self harm and had to stay in bed for a long period to get healed. Cassius was angry and hurt. After that John engaged himself in training, skipping his meals. Then when he brought Reese in the pack and looked so happy we knew she was the reason for his happiness and couldn’t let it go. We tried hard to keep Reese here, for John and his happiness” Adriana explained as she let out a sigh.

“So many things have happened. If I look clearly it felt more like a story in the book” I chuckled.

“Well I am happy everything is finally able to settle in the end” Savannah nodded. “I also wanted Reese to find her happiness. She deserved to be happy after what she had sacrificed for us” her face held the pain and her eyes showing the sincerity of her words.

“I finally did,” I nodded.

“Well, this is so overwhelming. We got our lives and has this different stories of our own” Tanea’s voice softened as she shakes her head. “Truly surprising”

There was a knock on the door and a maid appeared in our sights.

“What is it?” Adriana frowned.

“Luna, I am here to deliver the news,” the maid replied.

“What news?”

“There was a letter from Dark Forest which immediately needed the presence of Alpha and Luna themselves. Alpha is waiting in the study room” saying that the maid left closing the door behind her.

We looked at eachother totally surprised. Say what? An urgent letter to call their Alpha and Luna back?
