Claiming His Resisting Mate

JOHN’S POV

It was already morning and I couldn’t help but feel my nerves getting numb with anxiety. I still couldn’t find Reese’s whereabouts. Where the fuck Kole took her. It was obvious that he didn’t leave the area but we are still unaware of his hiding place. The longer she stays in his reach, he could do anything to her. Just thinking of him touching her in an inappropriate way made my blood boil.

“There’s still no clue?” Adriana frowned, “we have been searching for the whole night yet we couldn’t get a hint of Reese’s whereabouts. How long can we stay like this without doing anything?” Agitation filled her words.

“We have no choice, Peaches,” Cassius replied. “That bastard didn’t leave any clue behind. He did it intentionally, trying to delay the time for us to find them. Since he said he want to face John then he will be here in our territory”

“He is not fearing that his own plan could disadvantage him?” Devak frowned. “It seems like he is well prepared of the consequences”

“Whether he is prepared or not, he will see what it feels like hell when I grab his neck” I gritted my teeth. “Reese’s scent faded already making it harder for me to find her. I could no longer suppress my wolf” I let out a growl.

“Calm down John, it’s not a time to think with an angry mind. Let us find your mate first then you can have Kole all to yourself. If it was about Kole himself, then I would have let you find him but don’t forget his target is your mate which has put us in disadvantage” Cassius warned.

“She is strong. She won’t give in easily” I stated.

“I never said she is not, ” Cassius shook his head. “I knew the moment I first saw her that she was a strong woman. There’s no way she would manage to survive all alone in the forest after the destruction of her own pack. She was strong which is why you had the hard time taming her for yourself. But remember, kole is the beta of Hell Hound, the pack which doesn’t know mercy or kindness. The only color they are aware of is red and you know why, they only know how to draw blood. They are the cruel beasts of the wolf clan. Our one mistake would lead your mate to suffer in his hand. So instead of thinking in a rush we need to hurry to find a clue about his whereabouts. I couldn’t waste time in discussing”

I clenched my fist. Fuck. My wolf is groaning and writhing trying to take control over my body. He wanted to find his mate desperately but what Cassius said is also true. I couldn’t ignore it even if I wanted to. I need to consider the rational mind rather than my wild side.

“Wait what’s that?” Savannah pointed towards the certain area. We turned to look where she was pointing. It was placed under a huge tree. That place was void of grass and had cracks.

“Cracks?” Tanea said, “Taking the fact it is a forest area and the ground is covered under the blanket of grass, how come there was a crack in the soil? The roots of the grass wouldn’t let the soil crack like this”

“Wait a minute” Hardwick walked towards the place and checked thoroughly. He turned to look at us, “if I am not wrong that this place has been used before”

“Used before?” Savannah asked.

“You see in this whole forest there’s no sign like this. Then why here?” Hardwick pointed to the soil.

“You mean the underground technique?” Adriana gasped.

“I am not sure but I guess it is,” Hardwick nodded his head.

“It’s possible. Since he couldn’t leave then the only thing he could do was make a place for him” Cassius replied. “Kole knows well that he couldn’t leave Silver Shine with Reese so I guess he already pre-planned his escape. But the fact was we didn’t know where. But this sign has proven that he is here”

“Let’s go then. Since the line starts from here, there must be an end to it” I glared at the crack.

REESE’S POV

“Does that feel good?” Kole’s laughter rang in the room. I closed my eyes, biting my lips. My body was aching so badly that I felt like my breath would stop any minute. There’s no place in my body which was not filled with welts. The red marks swollen with each strike. He was lashing my body the moment he got hold of his thorn whip.

“Ah, I never saw a woman who can take such lashes so beautifully. You are really strong” he laughed. “I have underestimated you. Your body is already red yet you didn’t make a sound or begged. But do you know what, the more you endure it, the more it increases my thrust to lash your body. What a satisfying sight”

I looked up, “you are insane” my voice trembled. My body was aching and I was exhausted. But I am not gonna give up. I will fight till I have my breath. No matter what I will never give him the satisfaction he wanted. “Do you think beating me will make you avenge your dead brother? He is already gone and may be still rotting in hell. He couldn’t come back. And now it’s your time”

“My time?” He laughed again. “you really know how to joke. You are too dependent on your mate for having such thought”© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“It’s called trust,” I yelled back. “which I guess you will never understand. Do you know why? Your Alpha only knows how to kill and drink blood. Apart from that mess he knows nothing. And as his followers you all are the same. You can eat flesh but you will never understand far beyond that. That’s what you learnt and that’s what you will do until you die” I glared at him. Son of a bitch. What the hell does he think of himself? Beating me like this proves his pride and strength?

“You slut” he raised his hand and lashed me with his whip again making me clench my fist curl tightly digging my nails in my skin. The swollen skin, I guess would break at any moment if he continued to beat me. The thorn attached to the whole is not helping me either.

“Keep your mouth shut if you know what’s best for you. I am preparing a good surprise for your mate. Tell me seeing you like this, all red and beaten, wouldn’t he be astonished? He killed my brother, so I had to give him something in return” his whip lashed my skin again. “He thinks he can do anything he wants. He even killed my brother taking the chance, do you think he can get away from it? Does he think there won’t be anyone to punish him for his deeds?” Kole yelled with a raging look. “If you want to blame anyone, blame your mate, because you are suffering because of him” he gritted his teeth. I could see the immense anger in his eyes which was burning like a fire, glowing with every passing second. It was about to blast.

“Punish him?” I forced myself to keep stable though my body was failing. Eve was trying to use her power to heal me internally, she felt weak inside. But my exterior body is already broken and I don’t know how long I could hold my body to deal with this bastard.

“Are you satisfying yourself in that way? Your brother was killed so you went on to avenge him. But what about those whom your brother killed. Shouldn’t they take revenge against your brother too?” I made a tsk sound, “it’s really funny to hear, your brother’s deeds are not sin yet the one who killed him was the sinner? Are you aware of the truth Kole? You are scared” I smirked at him. “You are scared, that’s why you kidnapped me. Because you knew you couldn’t fight my mate. He is stronger than you, you were aware you will fail against him. This is the main reason for you to be here, keeping me as your captive. You are scared of the person you are claiming to take revenge with”

“SHUT UP” Kole roared out as expected and hit me hard. My body couldn’t take the blow as I puked out a mouthful of blood. Fuck! That hit was severe. I coughed a little and tasted my own blood. Rolling my tongue over my mouth I turned to look at him. Kole’s raging eyes held mine as he gripped the whip tightly in his hand.

“Looks like, I need to give you another treatment which will make you understand who has the upper hand here” he moved back a little, clenching the whip hard. I held my breath. If he gives another strike then I don’t think I could make it. It will be final. Eve couldn’t heal me with such severe wounds. My breath was already slow as I eyed his movements.

Moon Goddess, please help me. I really don’t have the desire to die so soon. At least bless me to see his face once before my death. I prayed in my mind. Kole was too angry right now and I think I will faint the moment his whip fell on my skin. My exhausted body couldn’t take any blows now.

“Since you are so proud of your mate, let me see how he comes to help you” he glared down at me with his blazing eyes as he moved his hand preparing for the hit.

Here, Finally it’s coming. I thought in my mind and sighed, preparing for it.

“You bitch, die then,” Kole shouted and raised his hand to hit. I closed my eyes but I didn’t feel the pain I was waiting for. What happened? I opened my eyes only to gasp.
