Chapter 12 – His Dominating Claim
REESE’S POV
We walked through the forest, the silence of the night was what greeted us. It was dark and deep yet there’s more of a story holding instead. Azrael held my hand and guided me thoroughly.
“What was mom saying?”
I smiled to myself remembering the answer Haley gave him “are you that interested in our talk? Don’t you remember what your mom said?”
“I am aware of it, I still want to know”
“Go ask your mother then. I guess she will reply you better than I could”
“Why are you so obstinate? Can’t you give a simple answer?” He asked. His tone was laced with irritation. Hmm… He is losing patience. But I want to test how long he can hold himself.
“And why are you always so curious? It was womanly talk but you have to interfere like this?”
“I am not interested, what I want to know is the reason which made you cry” I halted on my steps.
“What?” I turned to look at him.
He faced me with a resolute expression “you heard me. I am not asking to repeat the whole story. I want to know which part made you cry”
“It was nothing” I answered. I was not expecting him to see me cry. He didn’t say anything in front of his mom, but he still noticed it. What a sharp-eyed man!
“You can conceal all you want, there are other ways to find things out”
I gasped “what are you planning to do? Don’t tell me you are thinking anything funny”
“If you are unwilling I have to use another way of course. After All everything is fair in love”
I rolled my eyes “don’t use such cheesy line, you sound weird”
“Just tell me what I want to know to save both of us from the trouble” This man is so persistent.
“I told you it’s nothing” he didn’t say anything yet stared down at me with a challenging look. It was a kind of look with hidden words try-me-if-you-can.
“Fine, it was about me. Satisfied?” I forced a tight smile.
“What about you?”
I groaned with annoyance “what’s with you? You have to know everything? Can’t we just share a little secret? Did you bring me here to inquire about all these?”
He looked unconvincing, wanted to say more but when he noticed irritation on my face he sighed “fine, I will let go of it. Just tell me why you were crying? Did mom say anything to you?”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
“No, she is warm and kind hearted”
“Then why were you crying?”
“Because I realized things. If you continue to question me, I will return to the house” I turned to leave but he stopped me. He was holding my hand which was forcing me to stay back.
“Alright, I won’t ask anymore. Let’s go”
We headed forward. In a short period of time Azrael took me to a scheduled place. There was a stream flowing through the rocks. The melody of the running water filled the area while the moon was glowing in the sky reflecting its contour in the mirror like water. I can see the pebbles under the water and fishes dancing. Even though it’s night time, the view was exquisite.
“It’s beautiful,” I sighed.
“I know”
“How did you find this place? You know about it all the time don’t you?” I asked.
Azrael gazed at the water, his eyes were settling peacefully “I found this place two years ago. I came to visit my parents after the rejection. I couldn’t sleep at night so I wandered around. Luckily I found this place and sat down for hours. This place gave me the space I needed, it helped me a lot”
His words saddened my heart. No matter how much I put efforts to encrust the bitter history of my past I couldn’t. It would slap my face with a double force in return. I am regretful of my past and my deeds.
~But you never apologized to him~ Eve whispered in my mind. ~ if you are regretting rejecting him then why don’t you voice out? Tell him the truth. Say your heart out~
She is right, I never apologized to him. All I did was argue with him. Haley made me realize what am idiotic mind I have, thinking about hurting him again even if my point was saving him from the trouble. I need to know his heart, his views. I have to tell him the truth.
Gathering all the courage I have in me I turned to face him. He was still looking at the river. My heavy chest becomes impossible to hear with every passing second.
“Azrael” I called softly. He craned his head glancing towards him. I looked deeply in his beautiful orbs “I know I hurt you. I was selfish in the past, thinking only about myself. I was so cruel that I even rejected my own mate. I thought I could have my happiness with Avan-”
“Don’t fucking take his name” he growled.
I sighed “I am sorry, I was thinking I could find my happiness becoming Luna, but I forgot what’s not mine will never be mine. I was drowned into the lust of power and forgot my own self. I know what I did is not a mistake, it hurt so many people. It’s unforgivable. I couldn’t change anything back, nor could I turn over the page anymore. I haven’t saved myself for the one who’s actually made for me. I tortured you, hurt you, almost destroyed you” tears blurred my eyes again.
“I thought I could stay alone but I was not expecting to see you again. My body, my mind, my heart all are ruined. I couldn’t offer you anything, I don’t want you to be mocked by others, I want you to have someone who can give you everything you deserve. I don’t deserve you, your care, your love – I don’t deserve this. This filthy body of mine is not worthy of your touches. Can’t you understand this simple thing?” I never wanted to look weak, especially not in front of him yet I couldn’t stop my tears which were flowing on their own accord.
He reached out wiping my cheeks “is this why you were crying before?”
I just simply nodded.
“You decided everything for yourself but have you thought about what I want? No you didn’t” I looked at him. Through my blurry vision I can perfectly see his handsome face.
“You wanted the rejection and I gave it to you. I thought you will be happy even if it hurts like hell. But now, it’s already proved he was not yours. We met again because we belong to each other. You have to tie down these words in that little head of yours. I have given what you wanted at first and now I will take what I want. This time I won’t ask for it, I will just take” his hard voice sends shivers down my spine. Each word of him coming out so hard and undeniable.
“No one can stop me this time, I won’t allow anyone. Two years of fucking hell is enough to regret the decision. I am not making the same mistake again. You are mine, whether you want it or not, you are never escaping from me again”
Why did I find Avan was better than him? I was so foolish and blind. I was an idiot. My act of foolishness gave me a hard slap which I will never forget in this life. Now hearing him claiming me like this, my heart flattered sending uncountable butterflies in my stomach. At this moment, I realized this feeling is foreign to me, I never felt this before.
“I-” I couldn’t utter a single word when his lips came down, closing mine. This is the first time I am kissing him without any resistance, tasting his masculine lips which was sending the fierce electricity in my body. He wrapped his arm around my waist pulling me closer, pressing me to his hard body. My senses were destroyed, I couldn’t think clearly anymore. His tongue sought dominance while my body gave in easily. He roughly pushed his tongue rolling around my mouth claiming his territory like a king. I couldn’t deny it anymore. My body knew who it belonged to, my wolf was purring in delight. The taste of mate is so exciting and exhilarating.
“You are fucking mine” He growled separating our lips. My lips were swollen yet it’s tingling with his force and taste. I never thought being kissed like this would be so satisfying. This is how one felt with a mate, I was so foolish to miss this chance till now.
“Your wolf likes it, she knows her mate yet you stubborn woman deny it all the time. But know one thing, you don’t have any choice either, you have to die or live with me. And I am fucking satisfied with both”
I gasped at his words “what are you saying?”
“I meant every word darling and soon you will know it” he smirked.
I gulped down hard “what are you planning to do?”
His smirk only widened with my words ” I am going to have you” he pulled me harder than before towards him. “I WILL FUCK YOU SO HARD UNTILL ALL THE TRACES OF OTHER MALES WILL WASH AWAY ”
And I can feel my body frozen on the spot.
