Claiming His Resisting Mate

ZANIYAH’S POVExclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

My room was messy as all the decorations were scattered on the floor. But my heart was far from being satisfied. How could this happen? So suddenly without me knowing. I couldn’t stand this pain. The man I have been admiring for years, the man I wanted to have, the man I wanted to marry, how come he suddenly became another woman’s man? The woman who rejected him mercilessly. The woman who went after another man. The woman who was fucked and used by another woman. How can he accept her so easily?

“HOW?” I screamed at my top lung. “HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?” I pulled my hair getting more frustrated. NO, I can’t stand him with another woman. What does that slut have in her which I don’t. I am more beautiful than her, I am a fucking virgin while she was used by other man. I loved him all the time while she rejected him on the face.

“HOW COULD YOU CHOOSE HER JOHN? HOW COULD YOU?” I yelled and threw the flower vase on the mirror. The mirror crashed, shattered in pieces then falling on the floor. Through the scattered pieces I could still see my own reflection. I could see how broken my heart is – have been the moment I heard him bringing back his mate.

“What’s happening?” I heard my brother’s voice. He opened the door and walked in. “What the fuck Zaniyah? What the hell are you doing?”

I looked up “can’t you see? This is who I am” I pointed to the scattered pieces of mirror. “This is how my heart is. Can you see this dear brother? Tell me how I am going to pull them together and join them?”

Jaxson looked shocked “fuck Zaniyah are you crazy? You have broken all the things in the room”

“Why do you care about useless things but not me?” I screamed. “Are you even my brother?”

His eyes widened “what the hell are you sprouting? Breaking things like this, will it mend your situation?”

“You don’t even understand me Jaxson. You can’t because you don’t know how painful it is to see the man I love is fucking another woman. He was touching her, flirting with her and taking her to parties. It should have been me. It should be me in that slut’s place” I yelled at him. “But no, he doesn’t understand it. He brought back the woman who rejected him”

“Zaniyah calm down okay” Jaxson walked towards me, “Reese is John’s mate. Even if you don’t like her, you can’t change this fact. They are bound by the mate bond. They are blessed by the Moon Goddess”

“She was a rejected mate. A mate that went after another man leaving him behind. She didn’t care about him before now she is here? Why because that bastard man she went after is dead now?” I shook my head, “she is nothing but a slut who couldn’t keep her legs close. She doesn’t want John but what she wants is John’s power. John didn’t understand this yet brought her here. I couldn’t let him drown in her seduction. I have to pull him out of her clutch”

“You are not going to be in the middle of their affair. Am I clear?” Jaxson glared at me. “You don’t know John, he is not someone you can talk to and he will follow your words. If you think you can manipulate him deftly then I must warn you, you are underestimating him”

I glared at him. My vision was blurred with unshaded tears as I looked at him. He was my brother then why is he taking the other side instead of me? He should help me with my work. He should help me find ways to discard that slut from this pack.

“You are my brother. Why are you taking their side? You should help me with my plan” I hold his shoulder, “why are you incomprehensible about this matter? That slut is seducing John. You know me Jaxson. I loved him for years. I have seen him getting hurt because that slut rejected him. I have been waiting for him to recover from this trauma so that I can express my feelings. But look, that woman again entered his life and snatched my position and my man. She doesn’t deserve him. The only person John deserves is me”

Jaxson gave an unreadable expression “you have gone crazy. I won’t let you do any imbecile act”

My anger rose in my chest “I am not dumb you bastard. Why are you so against me?” I screamed at him pushing him away. Jaxson fell on the floor because of my unexpected push and hissed when the scattered pieces of flower vase pierced his skin. He turned around and got up. I could see her arms were bleeding. Oh god what did I do?

“I am not against you. I just don’t want you to get hurt, you doltish. You have already lost your insanity. I am not allowing you to perpetrate any kind of demented action under my watch” his time was hard and cold which made me feel terror inside. He walked towards the door.

“Jaxson I…”

“You are going to clean this mess Zaniyah before I return. I want this room to be as it was before. I will bring dinner in your room. Without my permission you are not stepping out of this place” Jaxson snapped before leaving the room. I fell on the bed and sobbed.

What am I going to do now?

REESE’S POV

I looked anxiously towards the door. It has been an hour already but there’s no news from outside. I want to go outside and check what’s happening. My anxious heart couldn’t settle peacefully until I saw his face. Beside me Savannah sighed.

“He fell asleep” she looked at her son who was currently taking his peaceful nap. “He must be tired”

“Shall we put him in his room?” Tanea asked.

“We don’t know what’s happening outside” Adriana said, “I am getting anxious now. I don’t think it’s a good choice to bring Aldric in his room. No one knows where and how the enemies will attack us”

“Adriana is right. It’s better to stay close” I added with agreement.

“I am thinking the same. I can’t have my son out of my reach” Savannah looked at her son.

“What’s taking them so long?” Tanea but her lips. “What a mess! The perfectly planned party turned into waste and all because of those bastards. Hell, I felt like going out and killing few of them to satisfy my heart”

“Feelings are mutual” I added, “I couldn’t rest myself waiting for them to return back” I shook my head.

“Alpha Cassius said the enemies were using underground attack” Tanea mentioned, “I never heard of such techniques”

“Well, I have encountered it once. Though it was not an actual battle, I have seen the technique. They dig holes in the ground making a secret way after measuring the enemies position then attack them from behind, ” Adriana explained.

“You witnessed them?” Savannah gasped “where?”

“It was a long time ago. At that time Cassius and my relationship was not good. I still remember that day, he was taking me forcefully to attend a party of his friend. On the way back home, we encountered the ambush but it was settled because Cassius already knew it would happen ” Adriana explained.

“So they are the same enemies?” I frowned.

“What Cassius said, I guess they are,” Adriana nodded.

“Okay, I am done” Tanea got up from her chair, “I can’t keep myself anxious about the scenario outside. It’s fucking frustrating. I am going out now”

“Tanea what are you saying?” Luna Astrea gasped, “it’s not a wise choice”

Tanea groaned, “mom I can’t stand this anxiety anymore. I felt like I was going through a huge trauma thinking about what’s really happening outside. It’s better for me to go out and check or I think my heart will explode at any moment”

I got up nodding “if you are going out then so do I. Let’s get out together”

“What are you two up to now? Are you crazy? The pack members and your mates are fighting outside yet you two are behaving like this…” Luna Astrea shook her head, “your mates won’t be happy with your action” she warned.

“Damn” Tanea cursed. I sighed and but my lips. I don’t know how long I can endure this foreboding feeling inside me.

“Ah they have returned” I heard Luna Astrea’s declare and my head almost snapped towards the direction of the door. I heaved a sigh when I saw Azrael walking inside with others. Before I knew I was already walking towards him. Without any words I threw myself on him. My actions caught him off guard as he stumbled backwards holding me in his arms.

“Darling?” I heard him say but I was more into devouring the feeling of his arms. “What happened?” He asked again.

“I was scared,” I whispered.

“I am fine,” he replied slowly.

“I know”

He pulled away, making me look at his face. There were a few scratches on his face but it wasn’t deep. I reached out, touching his wound. He held my wrist and smiled.

“I am fine. Nothing happened to me”

I sighed “I just couldn’t help it”. He leaned his head before dropping a kiss on my lips.

“Let’s go, others are waiting” he whispered and I nodded. I looked back to see the girls were with their mates. Azrael led me towards them while keeping his hand on my waste.
