Claiming His Resisting Mate

JOHN’S POV

“John calm down” Cassius frowned, “it’s not time to get angry, don’t forget Reese is in his hands and any mistakes could lead to her pain. You know how Kole is, if Demon was a Satan then Kole is a motherfucker. He wouldn’t waste a time to hurt her”

I clenched my fist. Just thinking about Kole hurting her made my blood boil. She is delicate and needed to cared but that fucker took her and I don’t know where.

“I promised her that no one will be able to take her away from me but that Kole did. It was my mistake that I was too obsessed with training, I took the matter lightly” I gritted my teeth.

“No, it’s not your fault John,” Adriana shook her head, “it’s our fault. We shouldn’t have suggested spending time by the lake side. We should have been cautious about the current situation. If we hadn’t gone in there maybe Kole wouldn’t be able to take her forcefully” her face filled with remorse.

“Yes, we were so excited when we heard about the lake house. We couldn’t control it and decided to check it out. But we never thought Kole would attack like this. It was better to stay in the mansion when we knew how hard the situation is” Savannah hugged herself as she said. Her tone was mixed with regret and shame.

Hardwick pulled her close to him, “it’s not your fault, don’t say that. The attack was sudden, no one could predict that”

“It’s not time for any explanation. We need to think of a way to rescue Reese without getting any harm on her. Kole is a bastard and since he took her with a call of war with John, then he must be looking for John to go and meet him” Cassius frowned, “he is really taking these steps. I doubt if Demon is aware about his action”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Whether he knows it or not, it doesn’t matter to me. I guess he wanted to take revenge because I killed his Avedor. He is already looking for the chances and now that he has my mate, he wanted to make it even” I gritted my teeth, “since he is so eager for the fight, I will give him one, the kind he will remember even in his afterlife”

“But we don’t know where he had taken Reese, how are we going to find him?” Adriana frowned.

“There must be a clue for that” Devak said, “there’s no way he will give the call and won’t leave a trace to find him. Kole seemed desperate, he would want John to find him sooner than ever”

“Devak is right,” Cassius nodded, “he is smart and he wouldn’t leave without any trace. Let’s search around the area, there must be something”

“There have to be ” I said with clenched teeth. We spread around trying to find the way to detect Kole’s whereabouts. As I walked around I found a shiny thing which glittered under the moonlight. Frowning, I went there to look at it. It was a jade bracelet. I picked it up and traced the surface. My hand trembled slightly. It was her’s. I gave her this bracelet a few days ago. Mom left this bracelet for her. I closed my eyes with a heavy sigh.

“Kole, you scoundrel. I promise if you lay a hand on her, I will fucking shred you in pieces which even your forefathers won’t be able to recognise” I gripped the bracelet tightly and looked forward. There was a faded scent of my mate. I sniffed and found her scent was fading slowly.

“Fuck” I cursed and let out a growl to let others know. Soon we all gathered again.

“You found something?” Cassius asked.

“I found her bracelet on the ground” I showed the bracelet in my hand. “I can smell her scent and I think I can trace her with it before it fades away”

“Good, let’s go then, we don’t have much time to waste. The longer she stays in his reach, it will be hard for her” Cassius nodded.

“Let’s go” I nodded and we moved forward. Her sweet scent was filling my nostrils. My heart flattered instantly. Even her fading smell is enough to calm my nerves. I couldn’t wait to reach her. I couldn’t rest till I saw her safe and sound. We walked further, into the forest. Her smell was fading slowly, and it was becoming hard to detect her. We walked for over an hour before we finally decided to stop.

“I couldn’t smell her anymore” I frowned as I said.

“We still don’t know where Reese is,” Adriana’s voice filled with worry.

“We can’t go any further,” Cassius said, looking straight ahead. “The path ends here”

“How are we going to trace her now?” Tanea asked.

“Her scent faded here so is the path. Which only means that we are close to them. They couldn’t have gone further from here, the only way to leave this place is crossing the river”

“I don’t believe they would cross this river so soon. Even their underground technique won’t work in the water” Hardwick said.

“Wait, the underground technique. What if they went using it? Forget about the river they could still use it to leave without using the river way” Adriana widened her eyes.

“No, I don’t think so,” Cassius shook his head. “if they used it then John won’t be able to trace Reese’s scent”

“Then where the fuck he took her?” I almost growled.

REESE’S POV

“Ouch” I held my head as I squeezed my eyes. The pain in my head was severe. I felt like someone hit my head till it stopped working. I blinked my eyes trying to open it. The first thing I saw was darkness. I frowned and rubbed my eyes to clear my vision. My body felt exhausted and it was a feeling like I had been sleeping for longer than usual.

“Oh, you finally woke up” a raspy sound echoed in my ear. I looked up to find Kole sitting on a chair with a mischievous smile on his face. I almost forgot I was captivated by him. I didn’t reply but raked my eyes around. It was a dark room, but the dim light hanging at the side didn’t make it too dark.

“Such ignorance” I heard him laugh. “I thought about how a bastard like John got a mate. Now looking at you I understand it” I could feel his eyes on my body. Though it made me uncomfortable, I am not going to show any emotion. This man is a sinner. Showing emotion will be considered as showing my weakness to him. I don’t know where I am or if I could make it out of this place but I know once Azrael knew about it, he will do anything to find me. And I have to keep myself alive till then.

I turned to look at him, “why did you kidnap me?”

He smirked, “do you think you have the right to question me? You are the captive of mine” he looked at me up and down before he fixed his gaze on my chest, “and I must say you are really beautiful. I can’t imagine how does John, that bastards control himself around you”

“You kidnapped me and I can’t even know the reason?” I frowned, ignoring his later words and focusing on what I had to say.

He laughed out “interesting. Since you are so desperate to know let me tell you” he dragged the chair forward and stopping it closer to me. He smirked tilting his head, “you are here because I want him to feel the pain of loss. I want him to understand what does it felt like losing the people he cares. Losing the people he wanted to have in his life” suddenly his face hardened and his eyes changed its color, “I want him to go through the pain I experienced. Do you know what, right now he must be going crazy looking for you. He will find you given his ability and smartness but before he comes I want to play with you” he moved back and his gaze was still piercing me.

I frowned at him “play with me?” Inside I could imagine different scenarios yet I didn’t show it on my face. I gave him a blank stare for his satisfaction.

“Wow, you are brave enough to look at me like that, ” he nodded, “and I am curious now how long you can keep that expressionless face. I think it will be really fun to play with such a beauty” he smirked again “but don’t worry, I am not interested in using that pussy of yours. Since John is not here, I will take it out on you. After all, I had to give a surprise to John when he arrived, didn’t I?” He got up from the chair and gave a hard face.

With that look I knew he is going to torture my body. He is going to stain my body with blood to satisfy his ego. He wanted to show who has the power in hands. He wanted to take his anger out on me because he knew seeing me bloody Azrael would feel the pain.

~ I will help you ~ Eve whispered in my mind.

I know she will be there to heal me but I also know Kole won’t be stopping once he starts.

“Are you scared, beautiful?” Kole smirked. “You can tell me. Since you are a woman, I will lessen the punishment”

I smiled. What a joke! Lessen the punishment? His body is already filled with anger and excitement to experiment it on me yet he is saying he will lessen. Just with whom he is joking? He thinks I can’t see through his intentions. He wanted me to beg, beg for myself and my mate.

“Talk less” I said slowly, “just bring it on”

And I am not gonna let him have that satisfaction.
