Claiming His Resisting Mate

REESE’S POV

“Oh, god….. Please no crying and sobbing now. It’s a happy occasion and we should celebrate it” I heard a cheerful womanly voice. I broke the hug and looked over Luna Astrea’s shoulder to see a beautiful woman smiling towards me. She stepped closer to us still wearing that heart warming smile.

“Reese, she is Tanea, my sister in law” Savannah said instantly introducing her.

“Yeah, that’s me, the one who had to endure her aggressive brother” Tanea said and we all heard a low growl. I saw Savannah’s brother was instantly near his mate and he pulled her to him.

“What were you saying dear? Do you want me to take you back this instant?” He said, hissing.

“As I said you are too aggressive Dev. I can’t even have a womanly talk here?” Tanea rolled her eyes.

“Does that somehow mean womanly talk?” Dev raised any eyebrow.

Tanea ignored him and turned to me “it’s great that you are here Reese, we all could form a group. After waiting for years I will finally have what I wanted” she grinned.

I frowned, not understanding her words. What was she trying to say? Savannah chuckled.

“Well she was wishing to form a girls group. At first it was only me and her but now it’s growing bigger since You and Adriana are also here. It’s turning the group in perfect shape”

I smiled “I never thought about it but I would like to join too”

“Great then let’s go and have girls talk” Tanea grabbed my wrist and pulled Savannah along. She led us away from the crowd. I turned back to see Azrael was smiling at me while Dev was frowning at his wife. On the way we also dragged Adriana with us. We settled at the corner away from the party crowd.

“So what’s the matter? My husband will scowl if I don’t return soon” Adriana said.

“You are not the only one,” Tanea sighed. “I tricked him into getting away from him and had to pull all of you along. That man after becoming Alpha has become more arrogant. There’s time when I am hell frustrated with his actions”

“Looks like our life is going on the same track” Savannah shook her head. “I never understood why these men are so haughty. They would be like ‘we are above everyone’. Sometimes I am fed up” she rolled her beautiful purple eyes. Aldric in her arms suddenly moved his hands and slipped his small palm on his mother’s cheek.

“See, now he is taking his father’s side,” Savannah joked, making us laugh.

“He doesn’t even know what you are talking about,” Adriana chuckled.

“Yet I must say his timing is perfect,” Tanea added grinning.

“Well, he is just showing who his father is,” I said and we all laughed again.

“But no matter what we are still bound to those arrogant men. So helpless…” Tanea sighed, shaking her head, “yet I am glad he is my mate. I couldn’t express how much I love this man” her eyes were smiling as she looked towards her mate. I sighed and turned to look at the man who stole my heart.

Azrael was talking to Dev while two other Alpha also joined the conversation. They looked like they were childhood friends, meeting after so many years of separation. Returning back with him was not bad though, I found my lost hope, my mate, friends and a family. I felt loved, happy and peaceful. I smiled as the thought crossed my mind, settling my heart.

“They looked like close friends. No one would be able to tell if they just met recently” Adriana commented.

“They are having men’s talk like we are having girl’s talk” Tanea added.

“What I want to do is to enjoy the drink but what luck I couldn’t” Savannah made a crying face. “Why don’t you grow up fast baby so that I can have my favorite drink?” She looked at her son who was oblivious about her remarks.

“You can have drinks if you use a moderate drinking method. It won’t harm the baby” Adriana said.

“I thought about it yet I couldn’t find myself to have the courage to touch the alcohol” Savannah shook her head.

“That’s why we are called mother” Tanea laughed, “want to have everything but when it comes to that little bundle of joy in the arms, we couldn’t accept it”

“I agree, when I had Josue I had to face the same situation or should I say still facing the situation” Adriana chuckled again.

I sat there hearing their conversation yet I couldn’t find myself to join in. What could I say when I am not in the same league as them. They already have their baby in their arms, feeling the motherly feelings and satisfaction where my arms are empty and my heart is mourning for the loss of my unborn baby. If I had the chance to give birth then maybe….

“Reese?” I heard Savannah’s call. I looked up to find them looking at me.

“I am sorry, I was thinking something” I smiled trying to shake off the burden of my heart.

“We didn’t mean to upset you” Savannah reached out holding my hands.

“Don’t worry, I am fine” I gave her an assuring smile. It was my karma. I have to accept it. At least I have found something and I can live with it.

“Luna” suddenly a girl walked towards us.

“Luina” Savannah smiled.

“It’s time. Master is calling you for the cake cutting” Luina informed.

“Oh, it’s finally time,” Savannah nodded, “let’s go. Looks like this little man finally needs some limelight”

I don’t know if Aldric understood what his mother said but just as Savannah finished her words he made a sound before jumping happily in her arms. We laughed and got up before walking towards the center where the giant birthday cake was waiting for the little guy. I stood beside Azrael while Tanea and Adriana did the same. I felt his arm sneaking around my waist as he pulled me closer to him.

“What happened, you looked a little disturbed” he whispered in my ear.

I shook my head, “it’s nothing. I was just thinking something”

“Did they talk about something you don’t like?”

“No, I am just too overwhelmed by my own emotions” I replied as I leaned to him. He moved his body and let my back pressed onto his front. His arms were around me, keeping me in a safe place. I felt relaxed, his scent was kind of comforting. I didn’t know what I would do without this man. I felt him kissing my head which helped me relax fully.

Soon the cake cutting was done. The little guy was too happy when his parents were feeding him the cakes. We clapped for him and wished happy birthday to the handsome boy.

“I can’t believe he has finally completed his two years,” Savannah said admiring the little guy.

“Looks like we should plan for another little one darling. I don’t think Aldric could live alone as a single child” Alpha Hardwick said, making her glare at him.

“What are you saying? Who wants another baby?” Savannah frowned at him.

“What? You want Aldric to be the only one? It will be better if he has a sister or brother to accompany him, sweetheart” Alpha Hardwick smiled.

“We are not having any conversation about this mister. Forget about it” Savannah rejected.

“But he will be all alone”

Savannah threw a hard glare at her mate “if you are that desperate go and get pregnant by yourself”

We laughed while Alpha Hardwick raised his eyebrows. He leaned forward and whispered something in his ear which immediately made her blush. Her cheeks stained with redness as she glared at him. Alpha Hardwick moved back with a satisfied smile on his face.

“Way to go man” Alpha Cassius smirked. Adriana gashed as she nudged him.

“What are you saying? Don’t start now” she frowned. Alpha Cassius didn’t reply but his eyes were holding a teasing look.

“Oh let’s distribute the cakes. We also need to enjoy this little guy’s -” before Tanea could complete her words a tumultuous sound roared outside. We looked at each other with confusion.

“What’s happening?” Alpha Hardwick frowned as he snapped.

Few men ran inside hurriedly “Alpha we are under attack” they informed.

“What? Attacked?” Savannah frowned and clutched her son in her arms tightly.

“What the fuck do you mean by attacked? What happened to our security that anyone could just come and go as they please?” Alpha Hardwick raged as he snapped. “Are you all incapable of protecting the territory?”Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

“Alpha, we didn’t notice anyone invading here nor did we get any news from the border. Everything was all fine until we were startled by the sudden noise. Then out of nowhere the black cladded men jumped out of the ground” one the man said with a trembling voice.

“What did you say that jumped out of the ground?” Alpha Cassius asked.

The guard nodded “yes, as soon as they surrounded us, they started to fight without any words”

“Damn” Alpha Cassius cursed. “It’s them, the Hell Hound Pack. Underground attack, only they use these tricks” his eyes turned dark and his jaw clenched.

“Hell Hound?” Alpha Hardwick frowned, “I have no enmity towards them yet they still tried to attack my pack? How courage they are”

“You don’t but we do. They must have got the news of our arrival here” Alpha Cassius shook his head. I felt Azrael’s hold on my body tightened. I looked up at him only to find his serious expression.

“Whether it’s you or me, since they have dared to attack my pack, they are my enemy too. Looks like I need to show them who they are messing with” Alpha Hardwick gritted his teeth, “let’s go we need to handle the chaos outside” he swiftly turned towards the door.

Alpha Cassius, Devak and Azrael joined him. Before leaving, Azrael turned to me and said “we will clear the mess outside. Stay here with others” then he jogged and caught other’s pace.

Adriana, Savannah, Tanea and I stood closely as we stared at the door. I hope everything will be fine.
