Claiming His Resisting Mate

REESE’S POV

We all stood in the investigation room. Suddenly a loud scream could be heard from outside. The door of the dark room opened and two men dragged a screaming Zaniyah inside the room. She was shouting at them crazily. She stopped once her gaze fell on us.

“Alpha…” She screamed, “please help me. I didn’t do anything wrong. Why am I treated this way?”

“Make her sit on the chair” Alpha Cassius said to the men who immediately nodded and dragged Zaniyah and forcefully made her sit in the lone chair in the center.

“Alpha I-”

“You won’t get up till I say so. And I don’t want to hear a word from you until you are asked something to answer” Alpha Cassius said, stopping her in the middle. Zaniyah gulped down as she roamed her eyes around her. Hatred filled her blue orbs when she looked at me.

Azrael walked forward, “I have always taken you as a sister of Jaxson but I never expected you would do such a thing even violating the laws of the pack. You dragged down all the prestige of the pack”

“Beta John please believe me. I didn’t do anything. I have been wronged” she hurried to answer him.

“Wronged?” Azrael asked, “I would have believed if you were sincere as you look on the surface. Your brother has been serving the pack wholeheartedly yet you are running behind ruining all his efforts. Tell me Zaniyah, how do you explain this?”

Zaniyah looked fearful. The color of her face drained making it all pale and white. It was like she understood the meaning of his words.

“I…. didn’t do anything” she shook her head.

“Didn’t do anything?” Alpha Cassius stepped in. “Do you want me to use third degree interrogation Zaniyah?”

“No…” Zaniyah screamed suddenly. “I didn’t do anything. It’s Emely. She did it. I didn’t do anything. I didn’t do anything” she held her head almost pulling her hair.

“Emely?” I frowned.

“Hmmm…. it’s her cousin” Adriana cleared my confusion.

“I wasn’t expecting that I will be having double enemies” I sighed.

“They are all the same,” Adriana replied.

“You two have heard, go bring her here” Alpha Cassius ordered. The two men immediately walked out.

“Emely never met my mate. Why the hell had she taken such steps?” Azrael asked.

“I…” Zaniyah bit her lips. Her body trembled and she couldn’t reply at all.

“Do you have any idea what you have done?” Adriana asked. Her eyes were glaring at the pale figure sitting on the chair. “I don’t understand how do you call this a love when all you do is killing others”

Zaniyah’s eyes snapped towards her “how can you accuse me like that? When did I try to kill?” She snapped.

“How dare you raise your voice on your Luna?” Alpha Cassius roared. “Who gave you such a right?”

Zaniyah flinched, she looked down as her body trembled. Alpha Cassius glared at her. I could see the anger in his eyes. Adriana went to him and held his arm.

“Cassius, don’t get angry” she whispered.

“How dare she disrespect you like this? What the hell does she think of herself?” Alpha Cassius roared. “I will snap her head from her body”

Alpha Cassius looked indignant. I guess if Adriana was not holding him back, he would have killed Zaniyah. I have seen Alpha Cassius’s dark side, how he handled Adriana with such passion and possessiveness. Now seeing someone insulting her he was raged and ready to kill. Their bond is so strong and unyielding.

“Let me go, where the hell you are taking me?” An annoying voice heard outside. The door opened once again and a woman was dragged inside just like Zaniyah.

“I told you to let me -” her voice stopped when she saw us. She gasped loudly “Alpha? Luna?” Her eyes were wide as she looked at us.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

“Ah, you are finally here” Alpha Cassius’s strong voice echoed in the room. Adriana moved to my side.

“Alpha? Why am I being brought here?” She asked.

“Your cousin was alone and wanted some company. Since you are so close to her, I thought why not let you have the pleasure to join her?” Alpha Cassius said. He moved and showed the figure of Zaniyah sitting on the chair silently.

“Zaniyah?” Emely gasped. Her expression looked horrified as she turned her gaze to look at Alpha Cassius again.

“I hope you have understood what it means, Emely. Sit” Alpha Cassius ordered. Another chair was placed beside Zaniyah where Emely sat down.

“I don’t like puzzling the matter. So I will ask you directly. Why did you poison Reese?” Alpha Cassius asked.

Biting her lips Emely turned towards Zaniyah who was still bowing her head. Emely’s eyes glared at her figure.

“If you are trying to waste our time then you should think again. Don’t make me use another method Emely to get you answer every fucking question” suddenly Azrael snapped at her.

Emely jumped in shock as she abruptly turned her head towards him, “I… Did it because of Zaniyah. She hated Reese because she thinks Resse was coming between Beta John and her. I did it because I wanted to help her” she blurted out.

“Help?” Azrael roared, “killing my mate is your help? How dare you?” He rushed and grabbed her neck pulling her up and shoving her on the wall behind. I jumped in shock at his sudden act.

“You have gotten such a huge gut to lay your hands on my mate you wench” Azrael cursed loudly. “How dare you think of harming her?”

Emely struggled to free herself from his grip but failed miserably. She huffed trying to catch her breath. Her skin was turning white and her face became pale. But Azrael’s grip was so tight that his knuckles turned white. It was like he was choking her to death and wouldn’t stop until she became lifeless.

“You dared to try to take her away from me? Do you think you can get away?” He hissed at her. I felt my heart jump. Even in such a situation

I couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed. How can’t I fall for this man?

“John, it’s enough to let her go” Alpha Cassius holds his shoulder stopping him. “don’t dirty your hand killing her”

Azrael clenched his jaw and finally removed his hand which made Emely to drop on the floor with this. She lied there like a corpse. She must be passed out because of the force. Alpha Cassius waved his hand and the two men dragged Emely’s unconscious figure out of the room.

“You really had the guts to commit such a crime, Zaniyah. Your brother has been fighting for the pack yet you were coveting for something which is not yours. You even stooped so low in your desire that you forgot what’s wrong and right” Alpha Cassius glared at Zaniyah.

Suddenly Zaniyah raised her head. Her eyes were red as looked at him “what was my fault?” She yelled. “What did I even do? Is it my fault that I loved him so much? It was him who couldn’t see this truth. I have been waiting for him for years yet he never gave me a chance” she angrily pointed towards Azrael.

“You are not your mate,” Azrael hissed.

“So what?” Zaniyah snapped again. “You brought back the woman who rejected you yet you couldn’t see through the pure heart I have for you. You could force her to live with you yet you couldn’t see my feelings. She rejected you and left for another man. Oh my god, she have fucked another man yet you are still longing for her?”

“Shut up,” Azrael roared.

“Why? Because I said the truth?” Zaniyah laughed. “No matter how much you try you couldn’t hide this truth Beta John. Your mate is used and ruined. She didn’t even save her virginity for you yet slept with another man. You wanted such a woman who couldn’t close her legs yet you couldn’t feel my love. If she was really the fayed mate then why did she reject you? When did she leave you for another man? Why didn’t she see your pain? Where was she when you were fighting for life?” She screamed. “Now that man is dead she is here to be your mate? Can you call her honest? She is nothing but a slut who wants power in hand. And you are too blind to see it. Tell me what the hell I don’t have in me which she has? What’s the difference between me and her?”

“Insanity has no solution. And right now your mind is not working properly” Alpha Cassius said.

“I wouldn’t have become like this if she hadn’t entered the pack,” Zaniyah pointed towards me. “All of these are happening because of her. She was the one who ruined everything”

“Enough” Azrael roared again. He walked towards her and gazed at her with his dark eyes “you want to hear what’s the difference between her and you? It’s morality. She knows what she did was wrong, she is trying to rectify her wrong doings and everytime she proves herself. She understands how to distinguish between right and wrong and is still learning to do the right things. But what about you? In the name of love you have engaged yourself in a crime of killing an innocent violating the pack rules. You even forgot your morality”

Zaniyah’s eyes brimmed with tears “Beta John I-”

“Don’t take my name with your mouth” Azrael hissed. He walked past her and walked towards me. “I am sorry, because of me you have to suffer the pain”

My eyes brimmed with tears. It’s not because of Zaniyah’s words but his trust. He stood by my side even though he knew what Zaniyah said was true. He still took my side and didn’t let me down. He made me fall for him all over again.

“Send her to the Training Prison” I heard Alpha Cassius ordered followed by Zaniyah’s scream and protest.

Azrael held my hand and pulled me out of the room.
