Chapter 18 – He Won’t Let it
REESE’S POV
Later at night Azrael took me out for dinner. This is the first time I am having dinner with Alpha Cassius and Adriana. I was not expecting it but he told me Adriana invited us to have a meal with them. Alpha Cassius was as serious as always. He was quietly drinking wine while having small talks with Azrael. While Adriana and I moved to the other side. The dinner was fine and delicious. Adriana gave a small treat and then the men went to sit on the yard while we sat in the room.
“What do you think they are talking about?” I asked frowning, looking at the two men outside.
“Who knows?” Adriana shrugged, “they are always like this. This scene has become the old fashion now”
I giggled “you are bored with it?”
“Couldn’t help it when I have to watch every now and then” she shrugged.
“I don’t know why but Alpha Cassius gives me creeps” I shook my head “I want to kiss Moon Goddess for not giving me mate like him or I would have gone crazy”
Adriana gave a heartfelt laugh “are you serious?”
“Hey, it’s true. Place yourself in my position then see what happens”
“Well, to be honest when I first met him and had that nemesis attitude, I would think the same. Cassius is always serious and arrogant. You can’t match a thing with him. And sometimes he is like a dominant king, wanting to take control over everything”
“How do you keep up with him? This must have frustrated you sometimes” I grabbed the pillow, placing it on my lap.
“Don’t ask me” she shook her head “there’s a time when I really want to kill him. I really can’t explain in words yet I can’t do anything because I don’t have any choice either. Besides, I don’t think that man will let me leave in any other way. I was like a captive in his cage”
I smiled “even though I have critics about his attitude, but I must say he loves you so much” my eyes traveled towards her neck only to see a deep red biting mark. Looks like Alpha Cassius gave a hard time to her. My face changed into smirk “and he couldn’t keep his hands to himself either ”
Adriana blushed at my comment. Her cheeks were red and she flipped her hair to cover her neck while she glared at the distant sitting man who was unknown about her glare.
I chuckled and decided to change the topic “I guess little Josue is more like daddy’s boy. He always stick to his father”
Adriana nodded forcing her gaze towards me “Josue is just like his father. So stubborn and unwilling. If he wants something he would cry his heart out until he gets it. I don’t understand when he grows up, who will be more dominant, him or his father? ” she sighed. “I don’t want to imagine such a scene right now. It would only frustrate me”
“Give him a little sister, so that you will have someone in your team too” I added chuckling.
Adriana blushed again “don’t joke Reese. Handling Josue alone is already a hard task. I really don’t want to put myself in danger” she shook her head.
I faked a concern “ay, ay little Josue will be sad”
Adriana rolled her eyes playfully. The two men walked in slowly after finishing their drink. Azrael walked to me and pulled me to him.
“It’s time, let’s go back darling” I bit my lips trying to fight the blush. His endearments are so smooth that it would touch directly into the deepest part.
“Yeah, it’s kind of late,” Alpha Cassius nodded as he sat beside his mate, throwing his arms over her shoulder.
“It’s only 10 in the evening,” Adriana said.
“It’s late love. Josue is already slept don’t you think-”
Adriana covered Alpha Cassius’s mouth, preventing him from speaking further, “you don’t have to explain,” she glared at him.
“Will meet you tomorrow ” I said to Adriana.
She smiled with a nod “good night”
“Good night” we headed out of the room.
Azrael led me outside the pack house. I frowned at him. What is he doing? He said it’s late yet he is taking me outside?
“Azrael, where are you taking me?” I asked when he didn’t stop.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
“You will see soon. Now don’t ask anything and just walk with me”
His reply made me even confused. I don’t understand this man at all. There are only a few males outside the pack house. They are the night guard of the pack. They looked at us weirdly but since Azrael was the one leading, they didn’t dare to say a word and only looked at us walking. Soon we were out of the pack yard and he led me towards the forest. Darkness covered the whole area without any dim of light. The sound of wind blowing rustling through the leaves of the tree. I sighed when we were not stopping at all.
“Azrael, don’t tell me you are planning for a serial killing. Your action is kind of scary now” I joked.
He chuckled “are you afraid darling?”
“Shouldn’t I?”
“We are here” he said stopping and I almost bumped on his back. I tilted my head to look around, only to see a small house few steps away. And to be added there’s a lake too.
“What….?” I looked at the house which was lit up with beautiful lights. In the dark night, this house looked more beautiful.
“Do you like it?”
“A lake house?” I turned to look at him “yours?”
“No, Cassius’s” he replied “but I took it for tonight so you say it’s ours tonight” he smiled.
“Only tonight? But why did you do that?” I frowned at him. What is this man planning? Taking me here and asking for a small lake house from Alpha Cassius?
He stepped towards me “I guess you have a short memory my dear. Since you have been so forgetful, let me refresh your mind again” he didn’t let me speak yet cupping my face he kissed me hard which made my mind go blank. Such a powerful kiss, I don’t know how to endure it.
After the hard kiss he moved away “I told you tonight I will make you mine. After tonight you won’t be able to go out of my arms. Because tonight I will make sure you understand well enough who owns you, who has right on you, whom you belong to”
My heart was pounding so hard, I feared he could hear it. Now I understand why he looked so excited when he was leading me out of the pack house. He planned it all, for tonight.
“You asked for this place from Alpha Cassius? And he agreed?”
He smiled “he is like an old buddy darling. He won’t stop me from anything. And for such a small thing he would never deny”
I sighed and placed my hand over his which was still cupping my face “you know what you are doing right? I don’t want you to regret it in future. Before you take any decision I want to remind you again”
“You don’t have to say anything” he shook his head.
But how could I let him when my heart is still restless. I know I don’t deserve this gorgeous man in front of me, who is also my mate. My body, my heart and my mind is already ruined for him to take. How could I just behave like nothing happened.
I shook my head and moved away from him. I need to make sure he won’t have an ounce of doubt after this. I don’t want him to give into it because of the high sexual attraction between us.
“I know your perception is higher than mine and you have proved it all the time. But tonight before you could take any action I want to make sure, you won’t have any doubts or resentment in your heart. Azrael, I was selfish in the past. All I could think is…..” My voice choked and I couldn’t say anything. I wanted to say so many things yet, at this time it’s like everything is stuck in my throat not wanting to come out
Azrael stepped towards me and I stepped back. It was hard to hold back my emotions.
He growled “you can’t do that to me” his eyes darkened, “there’s no way I will let you push me away”
Before I could fire any protest he was already standing in front of me. He grabbed my waist and pulled to him, pressing our body hard. His hard toned body pressed on me and I felt myself shiver in delight. My world purred sweetly, liking the feeling of her mate. I placed my hand on his chest looking at him.
“I won’t allow you to refuse anymore, not tonight” he said aggressively. And before I had any chance to refuse he already claimed my lips. All my refusal was swallowed by his rough kiss.
