Claiming His Resisting Mate

ZANIYAH’S POVThis content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“What did you say?” I shook my head “no it can’t happen. It can’t be. Tell me you are lying to me”

“No, I have no reason to lie. Even if you think so you will see the truth by yourself” Emely retorted. “I guess this plan failed,” she frowned.

“You said she will die. You even promised me that bitch will be out of the pack. Then how come you are changing your own words” I screamed, “now you are deceiving me?”

Emely scowled at me, “what the hell are you talking about? I was helping you to get rid of that woman for you yet you are accusing me like this?” She looked so angry that her eyes changed color, “you are such a back-stabber Zaniyah. I have put my own life at risk to help yet you called me a traitor?”

My eyes widened, “Emely, it was not my intention. You know it well how sensitive this matter is. Besides it’s you who said that woman won’t be able to live anymore and assured me to get ready to claim my man. And now you are saying that Reese is alive. What do you want me to think in this way?”

She narrowed her eyes at me, “of course I said that because I was sure of it. The poison used on Reese was fatal and has no antidote. I was hundred percent sure of the plan to get successful. But who would have thought that Alpha will use the treasure of the pack to heal that poison?”

I gasped “what did you say? Alpha used the treasure of the pack?” I couldn’t believe it. The treasure of the pack, that green box which everyone is trying to protect, has such power? No one still knows what’s hidden in that box but whatever it is, we know it’s special. It was an ancient treasure of Silver Shine. But now that treasure has been used on that woman to cure her? What kind of power does that box have that could also save a dead person? I bit my lips as dissatisfaction filled my heart.

“That slut got all the attention and now she was also saved by the treasure. How come she became so lucky? First John brought her back in the pack then she was accepted by the Alpha himself and became a good friend with Luna. Because of her I had to take punishment too. But what about her? Even though she was rejected, she is getting everything I wanted” I couldn’t help but feel envious of her. That slut is really lucky. What kind of fucking fate did she got?

“You need to calm down. Since this matter is sensitive we couldn’t do anything right now. And I guess Beta John will be more cautious from now on. If he gets doubts on us anyhow, we are done for. You know how much Alpha likes him. Even if we were killed by Beta John, I guess Alpha wouldn’t blink his eyes”

I looked at her “then what should we do now? I don’t want to get discovered. John will hate me for sure. Even if he doesn’t like me now, I can live with it, seeing him everyday but if he gets to know I was the reason behind this matter then he will kill me” I walked towards her and held her hand “Emely you have to do something, please. I can’t take it. You have to do something about it”

“I told you to calm down. Don’t you understand” she snatched her hand away from my clutch. “Now all you have to do is pretend. You know nothing and behave that way. If you oversmart yourself then bear the consequences by yourself and at that time don’t drag me down with you”

“I am just restless” I bit my lips.

Emely scowled “if you behave like that then of course I can guarantee you, you will expose yourself in no time. Don’t forget Jaxson still doesn’t know about it. If he knows let alone John, you will be killed by your own brother”

“No….” I shook my head vigorously. “How can you say that? You are my cousin”

She rolled her eyes “this is the reason I am patient with you. You better control your emotions or it will bring destruction on you without you knowing” she threw a glare before swiftly turning around and walking out of the room. I stood there pondering over what she said.

That bitch really has the luck to get cured this time. But this is not the end. As long as I live. I won’t let her live happily.

REESE’S POV

“How are you feeling my dear” Haley asked as she put down the soup bowl on the table. I am now back in the room. Finally after a few more check ups Turner gave the permission to leave the infirmary. Azrael’s parents were staying here to take care of me.

“I am feeling good, specially after coming from infirmary”

She smiled “I guess you aren’t a fan of doctor things”

I shook my head “I just hate that place. Even in childhood when I got hurt I refused to get treated by doctors. I just don’t like it. I feel suffocated under those white ceiling”

“Well you have the same taste as John. He never liked to visit the doctor even when he needed it the most. You two are really fated”

“I was not expecting you to return to the pack like this. I was surprised when Adriana said you and your husband is here”

“We couldn’t help it” she shook her head. “when I heard you were poisoned I was so shocked. I couldn’t imagine the scenario at all” she sighed. “John was devastated looking at your pale figure. I can understand what he was thinking. I was also hoping for you to get well soon” she held my hand gently, “Reese, you are my son’s happiness. Once he lost you which made him lifeless. I never wanted to witness such a thing again. It breaks my heart everytime I look into his eyes”

I held back my sobs, “I know. I never meant to give him pain. This time I was unaware of the situation. I never expected that there would be someone in the pack who would put poison in food. Though this thing is shocking, I guess it’s not impossible. There’s highly chance not everyone will like me because of the huge scandalous history of my past”

“Don’t think like that. We couldn’t change the past nor could we change the mindset of how others think. If there’s people who like you then there will also be some who are envious of you. It’s more like a tradition” she shook her head. “But the best thing is you are fine now. This is what mattered the most”

“I heard I was saved by the healing crystal”

She nodded, “yes it is a treasure of Silver Shine. Enemies are trying to snatch it because of its power. That crystal was never in use before. It said it was once used on Luna Zoie, because she was stabbed by enemies in the fight. So Alpha Colt used it to save her life. And now it was used on you to save your life”

“I never knew such a thing” I smiled.

“There are more things you will know. But that can be done later. Right now you need to take good rest and heal your body first”

I nodded.

Just then Phoebe walked in holding a tray “it’s medicine time” she exclaimed with a smile.

“Ah, your medicine is here. Take it, I will come later” Haley got up and walked towards the door.

“Here” Phoebe handed me a tablet and a glass of water.

“How long have you been working as an assistant?” I asked her as I ate the tablet.

“7 years”

I was surprised, “it’s kind of long”

“I was working as an assistant in my pack. But during a medical event I met Turner”

“You met him so you are here with him?” I frowned.

She chuckled “well actually, Turner is my mate. It was a coincidence that we both have the love for the same profession. I wasn’t expecting it. After we found out we were mates, he asked me to be his assistant”

I smiled “I guess you two have a great story”

“Sometimes because most of the time we were busy seeing patients” she gave a nervous laugh.

The door opened again and I saw my mate was walking in. Phoebe glanced at him then to me, “it’s my time to leave now. I will visit later with your medicine again” she said and left the room.

“How are you feeling?” Azrael asked as he walked towards me.

“I am good. Where have you been? I couldn’t find you when I woke up”

He chuckled “I was having a meeting with Cassius ”

“Anything serious?” I frowned. He sat on the bed and smiled.

“No, we were discussing about the traitor who poisoned you”

I sighed, “I was not expecting to have enemies here”

“Don’t worry, whoever it was, she or he will have to pay with their lives. I am not fucking letting them away once I get my hold on them” his voice turned hard making it more gruff.

I hold his hand “Azrael is it important?”

He frowned “why not, they tried to take you away from me, so they have to pay the price”

I could see the seriousness in his eyes and I couldn’t help my sighed inwardly. I knew there’s no stopping him anymore.
