Claiming His Resisting Mate

REESE’S POV

HISS!

I closed my eyes as the pain stinged on my swollen cheeks. I don’t need to check it because the radiating pain was enough to give me the knowledge of the condition. How come I ended up like this? What wrong I had done, to face such a thing?

“Hmmm… It’s dark red” I heard him say. I fought back the urge to slap his face. How dare he said this when he was the one who did this to me. My buttocks are paining and I don’t know if I will be able to sit properly after this. This pain is not going away soon, I am damn sure of it.

I tried to get up but my back was pressed by him not letting me. Before I had the chance to retort, he spoke.

“You need to stay in this position. Let me grab some ointment to cure the pain”

I gritted my teeth. Now he is caring? He knows how hurtful it will be but he still went on. Yet, he is showing care. Does he think I will be happy to hear that?

“I can manage well enough. You don’t need to show your synthetic attitude” I told him.

“What nonsense are you sprouting?” He glowered, “you think I am pretending?”

I glanced at him over my shoulder “what do you want me to think then? You are more like a impostor, a two faced bad boy”

He chuckled “are you sulky because I slapped this pretty little ass of yours darling? What can I do? You have such a nice rounded ass fitting perfectly in my palm. Besides you should have known, this punishment is your fault. If you just stayed as a good girl, tell me would this have happened?”

“Wow, you are accusing me of this pain? You bastard, you are the reason behind this. You are a phony, who only knows how to use your tricks to make things work the way you want. Now you had the audacity to throw the blame on me?” I yelled back.

“Ah looks like you are feigning with a curse” I could see his smirk “I warned you beforehand, but you didn’t take it seriously. I have been sincere enough to inform you, next time you behave unruly those pretty little asses of yours will be red. And I am someone who keeps his words. You should be proud of me”

“Proud my ass” I snapped.

He laughed “I will bring the ointment, don’t move or it will hurt ” he added as he walked towards the wardrobe.

I glared at his figure before trying to move my body but instantly I hissed in pain. Fuck, it’s painful. I guess I couldn’t even lie on my back today. What have I gotten myself into? I want to curse so loud that even the Moon Goddess will shake.

“I told you not to move. Why can’t you just listen to me for a moment” he frowned. “Your ass is already red, it will take time to get better”

“Thanks for the information, I really appreciate your kindness” I used sarcasm to give him a reply. Bastard!

He smiled “that acetic mouth of yours. I have to think of putting it into good work next time”

I ignored his remark “give me the ointment, I will do it on my own”

He frowned “no, you are in pain. Besides with your position you won’t be able to do it properly. I will do it, just lie there and relax”

“Should I feel happy? If you weren’t that aggressive then I wouldn’t have been in this situation. Thank you. You have given me enough care, now I would like to endure the result” I said through gritted teeth.

“You are still resisting? Even after this punishment? Do you need more?”Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

My eyes widened and my body screamed in fear. Fuck, no more slapping or my first layer of skin will disappear soon enough. Seeing my reaction he chuckled again.

“Don’t worry, I am not sadistic to torture you like that. Just lie down okay, I will take care of you”

I chose not to reply. He came near me and sat on the bed. My butt was still exposed for his eyes. The pain was too severe to care about the naked skin. I felt him sigh and something cool touched my stinging butt. I hissed when the sharp pain shot through my body.

“The pain will go away soon. This ointment is a pain reliever, you will feel better after a few minutes” he said, rubbing the cream slowly without hurting the painful area. He was too careful for my surprise.

“Why don’t you listen to me? You are always up for leaving the moment you get a chance. Why are you so desperate to leave? I know our mate was broken because of the rejection, but we are still considered mates because we don’t have any other in our lives. Is it that hard to understand this simple thing?” His tone was laced with pain which tugged my heart painfully.

I closed my eyes and refused to reply. What can I say? It’s hard to explain. I know what he is thinking but I can’t concur with him. I am not pure, my body is ruined, I lost the capability to bear a child and I have rejected his bond causing him to suffer alone. I was so self-centered to care about him, how could he have the heart to take me back? Whatever I did with Avan had already made me unworthy of him. How can I desire him? The pure heart?

My eyes were blurry, tears were threatening to roll down. I blinked several times to get off. I am too ruined to be good for you. Why can’t you just accept this fact and let me go. Find your second best chance. Someone who can give you everything you need.

I heaved a sigh “I told you already, I don’t want to be with you because you are beta. I don’t want to be a mate of beta. What I crave for is power, prestige, reputation, fame. And with your position you can’t offer me anything” I replied using my cold tone. I showed him the character of my past self. The self-centered Reese, who can’t see anything other than her benefit. Please believe me, please.

“That’s your answer?”

“You are not illiterate, do you want me to repeat it everytime?”

“You have tied the knot of lies in your heart don’t you? No matter what you will be lying to yourself and me. I have rejected you once because you wanted it. Because I wanted you to be happy. As a consequence, I had suffered enough” suddenly his tone hardened “but do you know what? I am not able to do that again. I won’t allow myself to go through the same phase again. If I have to then I will drag you along with me. If there’s a happiness we will face it, and if there is pain then we will suffer together”

I was surprised by the determination in his tone. This man is crazy, he won’t change his mind at all. And now I couldn’t leave this pack because of the swore I made. He knows how to stick me with him. What should I do now? If I stay with him, I am sure I couldn’t handle his temptation any longer. Even after rejection, my wolf is eager to mate with him. Then something popped in my mind.

“Are you sure of that? You are saying with such a big gut. But have you thought how problematic this situation is? Even if you ignore, others won’t. I guess everyone knows my history with you. Are you willing to see them getting disappointed with you? Bringing a rejected mate in the pack who had a relationship with another man, do you think your pack will accept me without any doubt? I am already a rogue, a wild one. Are you still willing to stand on your point?” I smirked.

“You think I don’t know what you are planning, my love?”

I clenched my jaw. He knows it. This damn man has stored all the solutions to possible problems. How am I going to win this matter now? It nearly seems impossible.

“Even if anyone dares to bully you, I will snap their head from their body”

I gasped, turning to give him a surprised look “are you out of your mind? They are your colleagues ”

“You are my mate” his deep orbs staring into mine reaching to my soul.

“Your Alpha don’t like me” I tried to point out.

“He won’t hurt you” it was like an assurance. I am not scared of that. Whether others accept me or not, I gave least care about it. I wanted to use that topic to make him think over his decision. But my plan was reversed instead. His determined attitude made me ponder over my feelings again.

I felt the pain in my butt fading away but his palm was still rubbing the area sensually. We stared at each other.

“You will regret it” I told him.

He smiled “I regretted enough”
