Claiming His Resisting Mate

REESE’S POV

Two days later after the incident Savannah visited me in the pack. Though her visit was surprising, I am glad she did. She got the news of me being poisoned from Adriana who I think couldn’t conceal this matter at all. Currently I was chatting with my two very best friends whom I never knew I had.

“This matter sounds so indefinite, I guess there’s someone who doesn’t like you to the point of killing,” Savannah said with a frown. It looked like she was uncertain about her own words.

“That’s what I was thinking” Adriana nodded, “the breakfast was ordered by me and those who were working in the kitchen were also my trusted cooks. Originally the food was made for Cassius. But when Reese came down for a meal, I asked the maids to serve what was made for the Alpha. But poisoning the food is something I really couldn’t understand”

“Since it was made for the Alpha, I don’t think the pack members will bear any enmity to commit such a crime. So is it only for Reese?” Savannah asked.

“It could be” I nodded and they both looked at me. I gave them a small smile, “I guess this action was related to my past”

“Resse you really don’t have to-” Savannah was about to say but I stopped her shaking my head.

“Let me finish first,” I said to her. “So what I want to say is, I know even though Azrael brought me here and he doesn’t care about my past but not every member in the pack would think so. There must be few who still think I don’t deserve their beta. But since Azrael holds power in his hands, they wouldn’t voice out their dissatisfaction publically. They must be thinking of a way to move me out of the way”

Adriana frowned, “you do have a point, but there’s something still missing. Even if some of them had such dissatisfaction they wouldn’t step to this level of killing you. Because as you said John holds the power and position in his hands, they knows what he will do if he finds out the truth once. So I really don’t think your matter is only about dissatisfaction in heart”

“If this point has come at this level then….” Savannah and Adriana looked at each other. They gave a knowing look before gazing at me.

“What?” I frowned.

“It’s a love rival” they both said.

“What?” I looked at them with wide eyes. Love rivals?

Savannah nodded “yes, love rival. You see, a woman’s heart is always jealous. Especially when it comes to the man they love. Maybe you don’t know but it’s possible that someone in the pack wanted to kill you so that she can step in. Do you have anyone in your heart who could play it?”

I pondered for a while. Suddenly a blue eyed woman flashed in my mind. Wait, that Zaniyah girl. She did confess that she loves Azrael didn’t she? Now thinking about that could she really stoop to this point? She even planned well to kill me?

“Reese?” Savannah’s call had me out of my trance.

“Yeah?”

“What are you thinking?” She frowned. “Wait, you know that someone don’t you?”

I sighed, “I am not sure but the way you said yes. I have someone in mind who said she loves Azrael. She was even accused of being the reason for his pain. The way she glared at me, I guess she wanted me dead the moment she laid her eyes on me”

“Who is it?” Adriana asked. “I really wanted to know who the hell committed such a crime in the pack. I guess some people really did have the gut to disrespect the pack rules” her eyes showed anger.

“You know Adriana, it’s Zaniyah. I am not sure if she was the one who poisoned me but I know that she loves Azrael. I can see it in her eyes. Those blue eyes were reflecting every feeling she had on him” I shook my head.

Adriana gasped, “oh my god. I thought that girl was such a little crazy but she really harbored such evil intentions in her little head?” She clenched her fist. “Whether it’s her or not, everything will be out once she is taken to the investigation room. I also liked to see how long she could pretend to be innocent.

“What are you going to do?” Savannah asked.

“I am not going to say but I will show you. Let’s go. We need to inform Cassius. He was already angry because of this matter” she got up and Savannah and I nodded as we followed her behind. We went to the study room of Alpha Cassius. Alpha Hardwick and Azrael were already there.

“Peaches? What’s the matter?” Alpha Cassius asked as soon as he saw us. Adriana walked towards him.

“We have something to tell,” Adriana said.

“About what?” Alpha Cassius frowned.

“About the matter of poisoning”

Suddenly Alpha Cassius and Azrael’s expressions changed. Their expressions turned serious as they looked at us.

“You know who did it Luna?” Azrael asked.

“I am not sure John but the person I am about to name does have the connection in this matter. And you will be surprised when you hear the name”

“Who is it peaches?” Alpha Cassius asked again. “I would also like to see who got such a huge gut to play this act behind my back” his tone became gruff.

“It’s Zaniyah,” Adriana said.

“What?” Alpha Cassius and Azrael jumped in shock. It looked like they weren’t really expecting her to be involved in this matter.

“Zaniyah? Jaxson’s sister?” Alpha Cassius frowned.

“Yes,” Adriana nodded. She glanced at me then turned to look at her mate, “the fact is Zaniyah confessed her love interest to Reese. She even accused Reese for so many things. Zaniyah thinks that Reese is the reason she couldn’t get John. That girl becomes crazy out of jealousy. But how much she is involved in this poisoning matter is something we don’t know. But we clearly know this is somehow related to her”

I saw Azrael clenched his jaw. Anger was radiating from his body as his eyes turned dark. He got up from the chair and walked towards me.

“Why haven’t you said a word about her?”

“I thought it’s just a little jealousy. I was not expecting her to take such action so freely” I shook my head. “I have taken this as a small matter but looks like I was wrong”All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

“Every small matter is the reason for big trouble, ” Alpha Cassius said.

I sighed, “I am sorry Alpha, I was careless this time”

“You should be. You better not neglect a small thing in the future. It will give you more trouble which you may not expect at all”

I nodded, “yes. I will remember this words”

“Good,” he nodded. “Since the first person involved in this matter came into light. Then place my order, bring Zaniyah in the Investigation room this moment”

DEMON’S POV

“Let me go….” A loud scream filled the air followed by laughter. I looked at the woman who was screaming trying to free herself from the shackles. Her eyes were glued on the half dead person lying on the floor. I laughed again. Their misery was something really pleasing to my eyes.

“Scream all you want me dear” I said. “Can you see your mate’s condition? He looked weak and pale. It’s so shameful he couldn’t even save you from my clutches”

Her eyes turned to me with a glare, “what do you think of yourself you bastard. Just because you got the weak points you think you have won this fight? Demon Fox, even if we die here, you will never be able to get what you want” she screamed. “Do you hear me? You will never be able to get what you want. The dream you are dreaming will shatter into pieces. There will be a day when you will face someone who will have your head rolling on the floo-” her words stuck in her throat when I threw the dragger at her which pierced her throat at one shot.

“So noisy” I turned to look at my beta “where did you get this noisy sluts? Don’t you know I hate noisy things?”

“It’s my mistake, please forgive me Alpha,” Kole replied.

“Tell me about the updates of Silver Shine” I wiped my hand.

“Our people failed to win over them. The last attack in Dark Forest has made the Alpha of Dark Forest angry. He is hostile towards us now”

“I told you to be careful. Cassius alone was the biggest trouble yet you offended Hardwick. Do you want us to fail again and again?” I frowned.

“Alpha I was not thinking straight. I couldn’t hold myself back when I saw them. What I wanted was to kill them all”

“Even if you want to take action against them, you need to first pre-plan all the incidents. Don’t work like a fool now Kole. Cassius has the highest support now. Do you know what it means by having Dark Forest by side? It means Snow Moon Pack is also with him. You know it well that the Luna of Alpha Hardwick is not ordinary. Don’t you?”

“Yes,” Kole replied. “Alpha what should we do now?”

I walked towards the window gazing out “we need a good plan. To defeat them all for once”

Afterall I still need to avenge my brother. The debt is still on Cassius. I am coming to get you. Are you ready?
