Claiming His Resisting Mate

REESE’S POV

A week later…

We girls gathered in the hall and about the men, they were out of our sights. Adriana was holding Josue while Savannah was with Aldric. It was only Tanea who didn’t have her son. She left him in the pack, never that little guy loves his grandparents more than his parents. Tanea sipped her juice and said.

“The battle is finally happening?”

“I know it would ” Adriana shrugged, “it was actually bound to happen. The Hell Hound in question is evil reincarnation and would do anything to get whatever they wanted”

“This battle is going to be fierce. Though I have seen many but I have the feeling it will be different” Savannah frowned. Aldric in her arms jumped suddenly making a sound.

“Looks like your son is ready to fight” Adriana chuckled, “and this man….” She looked at her arms where Josue yawned. Adriana rolled her eyes, “just like his father, showing the careless”

“Please, they don’t even know what you are talking about” Tanea rolled her eyes, “sometimes I am jealous of my own in-laws because my son loves them more than his parents. That guy never cries when he is with them. How couldn’t a mother feel lonely that way?” She sighed.

“You are lucky, at least you have someone out there to look after your son and you can feel free. But in my case, I only saw my in-laws in the picture” Adriana shook her head. “Sometimes I really think it would be better if they were alive. I really wish for that”

I frowned, “wait, when I was poisoned, I was saved by the crystal. Why didn’t Late Alpha use the same method to cure himself? I mean it would have worked”

Adriana nodded, “well I think of it now but I never knew that the crystal has such ability. And Cassius was also unaware about it. I don’t know why Alpha Zach didn’t bring up the matter or master beta when they knew about it”

“Maybe, there are more in the story which was not revealed” Savannah replied.

“Or was it Late Alpha’s own choice?” Tanea added.

“Whatever happened has happened, why it happened, let it rest in the past. I think it’s better this way. Digging over the past matter won’t help us and we have another thing coming for us. The battle” Adriana said as her expression turned stony-faced.

“Yeah, never underestimate the enemies. As long as you remember this you are cautious” Tanea replied.

“This is hard, harder than the human world,” Savannah shook her head. She looked at her son again, “I don’t know when he will grow up”

“He will grow up sooner than you expect,” Adriana smiled. “I will put Josue to sleep” she nodded and got up from the couch before walking away.

“Reese, have you checked the pack doctor?” Savannah asked.

“About what?” I frowned.

“I mean about your pregnancy”

I threw her a small smile, “I can’t get pregnant. The last miscarriage was the biggest hit on me. The doctor said I lost the ability to carry the baby. Though it was painful, I am glad at the same time. Because that incident made me look at the truth. It made me realize how wrong I was. That little baby has given me the path to live and start anew. I will miss him or her all the time. He or she become the root of my change”

“Every incident has its own cause, Reese. Sometimes it’s painful and unbearable but it will give us the biggest lesson we could ever learn” Tanea smiled and I nodded at her.

“Just like me” Suddenly Savannah said and we frowned at her.

“What do you mean?” I asked.

“I got to understand things after I ran away and why I ran away from the pack, you know it well” Savannah said nonchalantly. “That day was painful but I also found my own reality. Only hard situations could teach the best lessons. Because if you are not hurt enough you won’t understand the worth at the end. But you played a great role in that Reese. Don’t take my words wrongly but I want to say you are root of my transformation”

I chuckled, “I am glad then. At least you found your destined one and could build a new future with him”

Savannah shook her head, “it’s not only that, you made me realize I was not weak and you helped me to find myself. Thank you for that Reese”

“Aw… you two are making me emotional now” Tanea wiped her imaginary tears which made us roll our eyes. Adriana was back after sometime.

“I was thinking how about we make food for the men who are training so hard in the field?” Adriana suggested.

“I guess it’s a good idea,” Savannah nodded immediately. “They have been trying to work their new fighting style for which they don’t get much time with us and with the excuse of meal, at least we can get some time with them”

“I am on but…. I can’t cook” Tanea laughed, “Devak will puke out and will rest in bed for days”

“What an answer, we are really inspired by you” Adriana replied dramatically while Savannah and I laughed.

“Come on, since we are planning it. Let’s make something good. Let’s put the recipes first. Tell me the favorite dishes of your mates” I smiled at them. It will be exciting.

“Swiss steak”

“Chicken Florentine Pasta”

“Cajun Butter Chicken”

Savannah, Adriana and Tanea said at the same time. I chuckled at their action. Wow, they hurried to reply so fast. Looks like they are excited about the plan.

“Well, all the recipes are in place. I am going with Chicken Caprese Salad” I said as I wrote down the names.

“I am so excited,” Savannah grinned.

“Oh god, lunch time will be soon . Let’s go to the kitchen so that we can finish making the dishes now” Adriana replied.

“Yeah let’s leave” Savannah said and handed Aldric to Tanea “since you are not going to cook, help me watch Aldric”

“See your mother’s high expectations Aldric?” Tanea teased.

“Dramatic” Savannah mumbled and we walked towards the kitchen.

It almost took 2 hours to finish the whole manu. I wiped my hand and checked the dishes again. “I guess everything is fine. I am going to take a shower then we will go to the field?”

“Sure, I am drenched in sweat too,” Adriana nodded.

As we agreed we walked to our room and took a shower then changed our clothes. When I walked down the stairs I saw Jaxson was in the hall. He was holding a stick in his hand and was walking outside. He stopped when he saw me. I didn’t back away and looked at him once I was in the hall he walked to me. He must be holding grudges because his sister was sent away. But it’s not my fault and I don’t feel any pity for her either.

“Reese” he pursed his lips.

“Do you want to say something?” I asked.

He looked troubled, like he couldn’t say anything. After a few seconds he finally opened his mouth to speak. “I want to apologize for the action Zaniyah did. It’s just that she was too jealous and couldn’t see things clearly. I hope you can forgive her”

I was surprised. Well, I was not expecting him to say this. Whenever he saw me he would always glare. I didn’t know the reason at first but it was clear that he was aware of the intention her sister had in mind.

“I know, I couldn’t blame her because I know her feelings. But the choice is not ours. It was fated and already decided which you and I both knew couldn’t charge. I know your sister never liked me, but I never harbored any evil intentions towards her. I tried to make her understand but she just doesn’t want to. I never wanted anything bad for her yet I was not expecting she will conspire with Emely and would do such thing”

He nodded, “to be honest, I never liked you because of Azrael. I thought he suffered because of you. He was in pain” he sighed. “But I also don’t want to hurt you because Azrael will be hurt. I tried to talk to Zaniyah and make her understand but I guess I failed in my work”

“I know you love your sister. And I am sorry she was sent away”Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

He shook his head, “let it be. She was there because it’s her choice. I just wanted to say sorry to you. I have to go. Take care” he said and turned around leaving.

“Jaxson” I called him and he stopped. He turned his head to look at me.

“Thank you” I said and he nodded before leaving.

“Isn’t he Jaxson?” Adriana walked towards me. “What did he said?”

“He apologized for the deeds of his sister”

“Hmm…. at least he knows what’s wrong and right”

“Is everyone ready?” I asked.

“Yeah, they are packing food”

“Come on you two, what are you doing there?” Savannah and Tanea walked out of the kitchen with bags.

“Let’s go, it’s time. We need to execute our plan” Adriana grinned.

We walked towards the field and saw the trainers were using some moves which I have never seen before. Adriana walked forward and clapped.

“Okay….. Everyone it’s break time” she shouted making the males look at us.

“Peaches?” Alpha Cassius walked to her. “What are you doing here?”

“I came to give you a little break dear Alpha. Let’s go” she tugged her hand.

Alpha Hardwick and Devak also joined their mate. Azrael frowned as he waved his hand to the trainer who immediately went to the side and sat down huffing.

“What are you all planning?” He walked towards me.

“We thought of having a little picnic” I grinned at him.

He raised an eyebrow “picnic? At this moment?”

“Why not?”

“John, Reese, Come on. What are you doing there standing?” Adriana yelled as they sat under the shadow of the tree.

“Come on. Let’s have a picnic” I squealed and dragged him with me towards the picnic area.
