Claiming His Resisting Mate

REESE’S POV

“Wow, this is beautiful, Tanea really did a good job with it,” Savannah said, eyeing the white dress spread on the bed. The dress was really a beautiful one. It was a lace v- neckline sleeveless wedding dress. The lace design on the whole body of the dress was perfect. Tanea chose it a few days ago. She didn’t let us see until today.

“Use this hairpin to style her hair” Adriana handed a box to the hair stylist who was styling my hair. When the hair stylist opened the lid I gasped. It was a beautiful pearl set hairpin which was glowing under the sunlight.

“Adriana this is really beautiful”

“I knew you would love it,” she grinned. “I have personally ordered it for you. Today is your big day and since Tanea has given such a beautiful dress and Savannah took care of the arrangements, how can I stay behind?”

I chuckled “are you guys competing with each other?”

“Maybe,” she replied, shrugging her shoulders. “The main motive is to make today a perfect memory for you. John had taken it so fast and didn’t even let us have a choice to plan it. I mean how can we arrange the whole thing in just two months? We had to calculate fast to finish all the arrangements in time” She rolled her eyes. “that man is really aggressive and he is running faster than time”

Behind me Savannah laughed loudly “but he is the perfect match for Reese isn’t it?”

“You said it just right,” Adriana nodded.

“Wow, you are the most beautiful bride I have ever styled” Liliana, the hair stylist grinned as she put the pearl hair pin. “I have styled many brides but you are more outstanding than them”

I smiled “thank you Liliana”

“Okay, it’s about time, let’s put the dress on now” Adriana clapped her hand. “If the bride is late then I don’t know what the groom waiting outside would do” she laughed.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Yes, let’s get her ready first. Tanea is attending the guest outside and I guess she is quite busy” Savannah replied.

I nodded and got up then suddenly I felt my throat was hot and I tasted something bitter in my mouth. I covered my mouth and ran towards the bathroom.

“Reese ” I heard Adriana called out in panic. Once I puked everything out I felt better. I washed my mouth and looked in the mirror.

“Are you okay?” Savannah asked as soon as I got out of the bathroom.

“Yeah, I guess it’s some stomach bug. Or may be I couldn’t digest the food I ate last night” I shook my head frowning as I couldn’t give a good explanation of what’s actually happening to me. It has been few days since I am feeling like this. If it was normal I would have thought about another thing with these symptoms but with my current situation I couldn’t think of that ‘thing’ as it was totally impossible.

“I guess you need to see Turner to check if everything is alright” Adriana suggested.

I nodded “yeah, you are right. I will do it after the wedding. Right now I couldn’t ruin the moment because of this small matter” I sighed. I didn’t want to worry Azrael so I kept this thing to myself. The wedding was rushed and we were too busy these past days and I also ignored it.

“Let me touch up your make up then we will help you wear the dress” Liliana said and I nodded.

“Okay, thanks” I smiled. Soon Liliana helped with the make up and wore the dress. The white dress flowed like water and it fitted so perfectly on my body displaying my curves. I frowned when I saw my figure in the mirror.

“Adriana do I look like I gained some weight?” I asked.

“What are you talking about? You look perfect. You are nervous because of the wedding this is why are you thinking too much”

I shook my head “maybe you are right”

“It’s done, you are looking beautiful Resse, everything suited you perfectly” Liliana smiled.

“It’s because you helped me so much with styling me”

She laughed “please, make up couldn’t make someone radiant like this. You have this natural glow and in this white wedding dress you are totally growing”

I blushed at her words.

“Look who is blushing” Savannah teased.

“Is the bride ready?” Tanea peeked inside the room. Only her head could be seen on the door.

“Yeah she is ready” Adriana nodded.

“Well I think it’s time to go out now. That mate of yours is too anxious and looks like he couldn’t wait for you to go out” Tanea sighed as she walked in.

“He is too desperate,” Adriana smirked.

“Oh, nope” Tanea shook her head, “he is desperate for the wedding night” she laughed at the end making me blush harder.

“Oh stop it you two, you are making her red cherry” Savannah teased.

“Okay come on, Devak is waiting outside for you to walk down the aisle” Tanea walked to me and held my arm gently.

I was surprised “he what?”

“Don’t get surprised, he said it by himself” Tanea smiled.

“You are also like a sister to him. So as a brother could take this as his right to lead you to your groom” Savannah smiled patting my shoulder. He is really honored to help you”

I smiled but I can feel my eyes are moistened “thank you”

“Let’s go girl, your groom is too desperate to marry you” Tanea joked and we laughed before walking towards the door.

JOHN’S POV

I looked at the door nervously. Fuck this is the first time in my life I am hell nervous. Today is a big day and here I am feeling anxious inside. I just couldn’t control my emotions today. I have been dreaming about this moment and finally after so much waiting it arrived.

“Man, you look damn nervous,” Hardwick said beside me.

“I can’t explain in words” I sighed.

“Don’t worry, this feelings is normal. Besides today is such a big day so I can understand your feelings. There was a time I was standing in your position and today I have become a best man” Cassius chuckled.

Yeah he was right. When he married Adriana, I was his best man, standing behind him looking at his anxious face and now I am standing in front while he was in back. Though my whole body was nervous there was a sudden excitement running in my nerves.

“Don’t worry man, everything will go beautifully” Hardwick assured. Just then the music started. My eyes snapped towards the door which was pushed open. The wedding venue was situated on the beach. Yes, Hardwick suggested it so with the music in the air I could still hear the sounds of waves.

A delicate figure walked out holding Devak’s arm. Devak was smiling as he led the girl to walk down the aisle slowly. She was in a white lace gown which fitted her body curves and the veil hung down hiding her face slightly. The white roses in her hand she looked like a fairy who come down from heaven to marry me. My chest was bursting with happiness and I felt every pain I went through was all worth it.

“Don’t stare at her like that, you look like a lost puppy” Cassius teased and Hardwick chuckled. I ignored them and focused my attention towards my bride again. Soon they reached the stage and Devak handed her hand to me.

“Always keep her happy or I will break your bones” he warned and I smirk.

“Forget it, you won’t be getting the chance” I hold her hand tightly and pulled her up. She grinned as she stood in front of me. I could see her beautiful face through her veil.

Soon the wedding started and we exchanged vows then the ring. At the end the priest asked to kiss the bride. I grinned and pulled her towards me before lifting her veil and didn’t bother to pull it over her head but kissed her hard, sealing her lips. The veil fell on our head covering us. The crowd cheered loudly.

“Oh my god, I still couldn’t believe the wedding is finally done” Tanea grinned, “last two months were so busy with the preparation but everything worth it”

“Yes, John had given such a short time but I am glad that everything was arranged in time,” Adriana smiled. Josue was in his arms while Cassius was beside her.

“Lets go, time for the first dance of the newly wedded couple” Savannah said and pulled us towards the dancing stage.

“Are you happy?” I asked as we danced slowly with the rhythm of the music.

“Very, I couldn’t be happier than this,” she smiled. “Are you happy?”

I grinned “I am the happiest man in this world”

She chuckled, “finally we are husband and wife”

“You were always my wife whether we have shared this vows or not”

“You are really-” before she could say she closed her eyes.

“What happened?”

“I…. felt like…. I” suddenly she fainted in my arms frightening me to the core.

“Reese ” I patted her cheeks but there’s no response. I scooped her up.

“What happened?” Adriana ran towards us.

“I don’t know, she suddenly fainted”

“Let’s move towards the resting room first and I will call Turner” Cassius said and I nodded before heading towards the room.

Turner came fast. He couldn’t attend the wedding because he had some research to do. After checking her he put down his medical kits in the box.

“What happened?” I asked him.

“Did she vomit today?” Turner asked suddenly.

“Yes, before the wedding. She said she had been feeling like this for the past few days” Savannah replied.

“Hmm…” Turner nodded.

“Is there any problem?” Adriana asked anxiously.

“No, but I guess it’s a double happy moment” Turner got up, “congratulations your wife is pregnant” he grinned.

My eyes widened. What the fuck? Everyone gasped in the room.

“What?” Turner frowned “you guys are not happy?”

“How could it be possible?” I frowned. “she said she lost the ability to bear a child”

“Anything could happen my dear friend. To give you the proper reason I guess her that injury healed because of the Carnelian we used last time to remove the poison” Turner shrugged. “But whatever the reason is, it’s true she is pregnant and needed much care”

I couldn’t help but grin. Suddenly Reese groaned as she woke up. I was by her side immediately. Seeing her wake up everyone left the room to give us some privacy.

“Hey wife, are you feeling well?”

“What happened to me?”

I smiled “something that will double our happiness”

“What?” She frowned at me. “Azrael, what are you talking about?”

“You are pregnant, my love” I said and her eyes widened.

“How…. I … no … it’s …” she gasped.

“Moon Goddess finally blessed us darling, your dream is fulfilled” I whispered and she cried. I hugged her to enjoy the moment of our happiness. Our past was bitter but our future will be sweet. We learnt from our mistakes and rectified them in the present and got the reward. Nothing can be better than this.

THE END
