Claiming His Resisting Mate

REESE’S POV

I opened my eyes and the unfamiliar scene came into view. I don’t know where I am. My body aches as I try to move. What happened to me? The last thing I remembered is I was having breakfast with Adriana and then I suddenly felt something was wrong. But after that I don’t remember anything.

“Oh she is awake” I heard a woman’s voice which made me turn my head to look at the side. I saw a beautiful woman dressed in whole. She smiled at me, but who was she? Before I could ask another man showed up.

“Ah, finally you have decided to open your eyes,” the man said with a smile. “Girl, you have given all of us heart attacks when you were sleeping soundly. But looks like you finally understand and woke up”

I don’t know what the hell he is talking about. Besides who is he? And how did I end up here? I closed my eyes trying to remember but nothing came to mind. God what’s happening? Why can’t I remember a thing?

“Don’t pressure yourself” I heard the man say again. I looked at him with a frown but he just flashed a smile continuing his words “you need to relax your body. I am prescribing you a few medicines which will help you completely heal your body. I am glad you woke up or that arrogant mate of yours would have had my head on his dinner plate” he laughed out. “Anyway, let me introduce myself. I am Turner, the pack doctor. And she is Phoebe, my assistant. We were waiting for you to wake up since you have been sleeping for last 24 hours”

24 hours? What happened to me? My heart suddenly got anxious and I tried to move my body. The Turner guy jumped in shock.

“What are you doing?” He yelled.

“I need to see my mate,” I replied.

“He will be here any minute. You don’t have to rush for that” Turner pushed me down on bed again. “You are in the infirmary, you need to relax your body and let the medicine heal your internal wounds. With you moving so vigorously, it’s not good”

“What happened to me? And how did I end up here?” I frowned at him.

“Well, you were poisoned with yew which was something medicine couldn’t cure. It was lucky that Master Beta suggested for the healing crystal which helped you cure the deadly poison” he shook his head, “I was not expecting to witness such poison but luckily everything sorted out at the end”

I was surprised with his information. Well that’s not what I was expecting but he said I was poisoned? But how? Does someone in the pack hate me so much that they tried to kill me? I never offended anyone here but why did they try to kill me like this?

“Here eat this” Phoebe handed me a glass of water with a pill. She smiled “it will nourish your body and help you gain the energy that you lost because of the toxic effect”

“I…. thanks…” I nodded. She helped me sit on the bed and I ate the medicine.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Are you feeling good?” She asked again.

“I still feel tired but it’s fine”

“Good, don’t worry. You hadn’t eaten anything, that’s why you are feeling more tired but it will go away soon” I nodded.

“It’s a good thing you woke up earlier than the suspected time,” Turner said again. “Or that mate of yours would have killed me” he laughed. “I never thought John would be so aggressive that he would want to kill his old friend. What a life! After getting his mate he is forgetting old relationship” he shook his head.

“Looks like you have left the profession of doctor and engaged yourself in dramas” when the familiar gruff voice fell in my ear, my head snapped towards the door. There stood my mate whom I wanted to meet the moment I opened my eyes. My eyes fell on his figure and my heart sighed.

Azrael walked inside slowly. He tore his gaze from Turner then looked at me. I gave him a weak smile.

“You finally decided to open your eyes,” he said.

“I am sorry” I bit my lips.

“Ah, looks like we need to go now,” I heard Turner say, but I was careless about him. Right now the only person I could see was my mate. I could only feel his presence. Azrael and I looked at each other without a word. I heard Turner and his assistant rush towards the door before the clicking sound of the door could be heard.

“I almost thought I lost you” after some time Azrael said. I could feel the pain in his tone. My heart clenched. Unknowingly I gave him pain again. I don’t know how to give him assurance that I won’t leave him. But this time things aren’t in my hands.

“I told you, I won’t leave,” I said weakly.

He sighed and sat on bed “when I heard you fainted I felt like my heart had stopped and couldn’t function anymore. The duration lasted till I heard you are out of danger. I was holding my breath so hard that it felt like I was struggling with a life and death situation. I couldn’t think of a day without you. I have waited for 2 years, drowning into the suffocation of pain and heartache. I was fearing that I couldn’t endure such feelings again”

Each of his words tore my heart. I knew he was already scared of losing me after whatever I did in the past. He was insecure and I don’t know how to console him right now. I was not afraid of dying but I was more afraid of his situation after me. I don’t want to give him pain whether it is knowingly or unknowingly. I want to make him happy at any cost.

Not knowing what I should do, I hugged him. Maybe my hug could rest his heart. I want to make him feel like I’m with him. “I will never leave you” I whispered in his ear, “and I meant it”

He hugged me gently. We stayed like that, hugging each other, wanting to give each other comfort and solace. No words are needed to say because we know our hearts are one beating in same rhythm accurately.

“Oops….” I heard a sound and I raised my head to see Adriana with Alpha Cassius standing at the door. I broke the hug and smiled at them.

“I hope we didn’t disturbed you,” she said while grinning.

“You really had a strong will Reese” Alpha Cassius said with his rasping tone. “Even though the poison has almost grabbed you, your wolf was fighting hard to defeat the toxins, I must say your will and courage is marvelous”

I was stunned by his sudden appreciation. I wasn’t expecting Alpha Cassius who would always give those cold shoulders to say such a thing. Now I feel like I am finally able to get into his liking list. It somehow made me happy.

But Adriana glared at him “what are you saying? Reese was always strong, it’s just you who refused to see it. Now she has proved it. Do you agree dear Alpha Reese is the best one for John” she nudged him. Alpha Cassius just raised his eyebrows as he looked at her. Adriana grinned before looking at me.

“How are you doing Reese?”

“I am feeling better now” I smiled at her.

“It’s great. Did you know John was like a zombie walking on roads. The moment he heard you fainted he was like lost all his sanity. He didn’t even eat anything. He said he will eat when you open your eyes”

I looked at him and sighed. Azrael flashed me a small smile. Adriana walked to me and sat on the chair holding my hand “I am glad you finally cured from the poison. When we hear how fatal the poison is, we are so worried” she shook her head, “you have is heart-attack Reese”

“I didn’t know something like this would happen. I never thought I have an enemy here”

“This kind of act is pre-planned. To attack so viciously, it couldn’t be done without any planning. Those bastards I didn’t know I am raising such traitors who will stand their own people” Alpha Cassius looked angry. His fingers were curled into fist.

“We need to find that person soon. Since they have attempted to kill Reese so openly, I believe they will do it again” Adriana said with seriousness.

“The fuck I will let them” Azrael growled beside me.

This matter is so serious. But if the poison is fatal as they said then how did they manage to save me? Wait, didn’t Turner say something about healing crystals?

“What’s a healing crystal?” I asked all of them to look at me at once. I gulped down my saliva. Did I say something wrong?

“How did you know about that?” Alpha Cassius’s eyes turned cold.

“I…. Doctor Turner said I was saved by a healing crystal”

Adriana nodded her head, “yes, he is right. Your poison was fatal and couldn’t be cured by any medicine. We were worried and we had to call John’s parents for suggestions because there was not much time for us. When Uncle Eliseo suggested about healing crystal, we had to try to see if it will cure the poison or not but fortunately it worked and finally you woke up”

This information is surprising. I never knew there was such a thing like a healing crystal.
