Claiming His Resisting Mate

JOHN’S POV

“What do you want to plan?” Hardwick asked. “I have investigated the matter of Demon, I must say he is the real Satan in the whole wolf clan”

“It’s nothing new” Cassius replied, “there are things I couldn’t explain in words. His deeds are numerous and unexplainable. He loves power and despises the weak. For him, if he wants then it should be in his hands and if couldn’t get it then the thing shouldn’t exist anymore”

“This is crazy. He is the psychopath who needs good treatment to make him understand how nature works. Though we got power and we belong to the supernatural family lineage, still there are things we couldn’t change. I guess Demon won’t listen to anything but himself” Devak added. “How come the pack under him is running well? I hardly believe anyone of them could have a heart”

“Demon don’t like weakness. He thinks having a family is a weakness. Women and children are the definition of weak for him. There’s also saying he even killed his mate to stop her from giving him pain” Cassius shrugged.

“What?” Devak yelled, “killed his own mate?” He frowned. He looked so shocked.

Hardwick tapped the table with his fingers “though I knew he was disgusting but I was not expecting him to be this loathing” he shook his head “mates are the better half, the other part of our being yet he killed her? Just thinking about Savannah leaving for an hour makes me restless”

“He doesn’t have a heart. The only blood family he had was his younger brother” Cassius replied, “who died in my hands. His main target was me, he wanted to destroy Silver Shine for years already. But because of the stronghold of power, he couldn’t attack us directly”

“But this time he is not targeting you alone” Hardwick shook his head again, “this time he is provoking everyone. He thinks his members could give him the advantage to win this situation. I can see it clearly, he started to make plans against us. He won’t make it rush because he has already seen the results”

“I am eagerly waiting for that bastard” Devak rolled his sleeves up. “A fucking bastard like him has the heart to disturb everyone’s leave. He shouldn’t live in this world. His breathing will only ensure troubles for others”

“I am waiting for it” Cassius nodded, “I couldn’t wait to face him and show him where he actually belongs. But what Hardwick said is right. He must be planning something big after what happened in the Dark Forest. Kole escaped which mean he has got few information about us”

“Let him do whatever he wants” Hardwick voiced, “but his enjoyment would not stay for long. Since he had started this war, of course he will get something he won’t forget even he takes the journey of after life”

Cassius nodded, “they know the underground attack technique which I must add is very effective on the opponents. The first thing we need to take down is this style”

“There must be some way,” I said, “since they are using the underground attack style, then there must be some disadvantage in it. Everything has its pros and cons”

“I guess John is right” Hardwick nodded, “if they could use the ground, then we can use the sky”

“What? Are you sure?” Devak frowned.

Hardwick smirked “there’s always a way. It’s just needed a little thinking”

“Will it work?” I frowned.

“Are you thinking about attacking them when they are planning to attack us?” Cassius asked.

Hardwick nodded, “definitely. They took the advantage of hiding under the ground and it caught the opponents off guard. But what if their attack plan reverses on them? They won’t be able to think of a way too fast which will provide us more advantages”

“I like the idea, they would never think of this strategy” I nodded.

“Since it is as such, let’s do it with your plan” Cassius nodded with agreement.

The meeting went for another hour. We had the perfect plan to beat the underground attack technique. Hardwick really has the advantage to deal with Demon. Once that bastard is out of this world I can finally take a relief breath. When I walked out of the study room, I saw through the window Jaxson was sitting on the bench near the training field. I looked at his figure for sometime before deciding to talk to him.

“You are not training today?” I asked once I was near him.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Jaxson looked up “I will train later” then he fixed his gaze on the training field again where the members were training hard.

I sat beside him, “I know you are thinking about Zaniyah. But you also know whatever happened was her own deeds”

I heard him sigh, “I know. She was always pampered and spoiled. She always gets what she wants, I thought she would understand when she grew up but now I understand that was the biggest mistake” he shook his head.

“Cassius is merciful, he only sent her in the Training Prison”

“I know and I am glad. But what she did was more serious and sending her in the training prison is a small punishment” Jaxson squeezed his eyes shut “I am sorry John, because of her you mate had to suffer pain”

“Zaniyah is too obsessed with me. She needs to be cured fully. Her obsession has reached the extreme point where she started to plan for killing others. Even if her life is spared because of you and your parents, Emely won’t get this advantage. She is bound to die”

Jaxson looked at me, “I know. I am sorry again. I should have restrained her more. It’s all my fault”

I sighed. Jaxson and his parents were always loyal to the pack. They had given their efforts to fight for the pack and also sacrificed themselves several times. Even if the deeds of Emely and Zaniyah make me angry, I couldn’t neglect their loyal hearts, so does Cassius. As for Zaniya and Emely, they are not going to return to the pack anymore. Once they stepped in the Training Prison it was their last time to see the outside world.

“There’s something we couldn’t charge. I know you don’t like Reese too, and I am not forcing you to like her though. But don’t forget she is my mate. And before you judge her character, you should remember how she is related to me” I said to him but it was more like a warning.

“I understand,” he nodded, “it’s true, I never liked your mate because I thought she was the reason you suffered so much. I didn’t want to see you hurt all the time”

I pursed my lips “I was hurt but I am happy now. What do you think? I forgot everything? No…. It’s not because I forgot my past, it’s because I don’t want to live in that hurt anymore. I want to be happy and I know she is the only source of that. I could be careless about the past if it means I can be with her. I couldn’t cure the burning heart of my past because it will burn till the end. But that doesn’t mean I will give up my present and future. The important thing is that she realized herself and understood reality. She has already sacrificed everything to rectify her deeds. What more do you want? To die?”

“I am sorry, ” Jaxson uttered, looking at me. I could see the emotion running in his eyes.

“You need to think clearly, Jaxson. I have lost her once and I am not letting it happen again” I said and turned around before leaving him there. I couldn’t forget my past and her rejection but my present is more valuable than the past. Because I could only remember the past, while I have to live in the present. And now I have her with me, in my arms and that’s what mattered the most.

When I walked into the room I saw my mate was looking at the two dresses spread on the bed. She was tapping her chin as she looked confused.

“What are you doing?” I frowned walking towards her.

Reese looked at me surprised before flashing a smile, “ah you are here, come on help me choose a dress”

“A dress?” I glanced at the dresses then focused my gaze on her face “you are planning to go somewhere?”

She nodded, “the girls are planning to enjoy bar night”

“Bar night? Alone?” I couldn’t help but feel irritated. “You are not well, refuse it”

She rolled her eyes, “Azrael you can’t ruin our planning. It has been days since I enjoyed some good time with friends like this”

“You can do that in the pack too” I argued back.

“Of course, but it’s different outside. Besides Adriana made sure it’s not too far”

I shook my head, “you are not going there. Forget about it sweetheart. Besides, you have just awakened from the poison effect. You need to care about your body. Drinking is not good for you, at least for now”

She smiled and walked to me, “you don’t have to worry, I am not going there to drink. I just want to enjoy their drama and also I am curious to see how their plan works”

I frowned, “plan? What the hell are you all planning?”

She grinned, “nah, nah, I am not going to tell. It’s a secret. And you are not going to refuse”

“You are not understanding, why are you so-” she paused me, placing her finger on my lips.

“I am not going there only with them. You are also going with me”

“What?” I couldn’t understand.

“Tomorrow night is going to be fun. Wanna join?” She asked, tilting her head.

I smirked “I could do more fun”

She rolled her eyes, “don’t think anything funny. Now help me choose a dress”

“Are you really interested in that?”

“I am curious,” she winked, making me laugh.
