Claimed By The Stubborn Alpha

I woke up to a sharp, agonizing pain all over my body. I opened my eyes wide and with very fast movements. I could hardly believe what I had just experienced. I had been reborn. I was truly alive again. After experiencing such a horrible death before, I was finally reborn now. But not only that, I was reborn right on the same night that Reese Carson had s*x with me. Reese was moving with quite rough and fast movements. I thought back to the reason Reese did all this to me. Reese must still feel very angry that I had refused to let him touch me before.

"Do you still want to go and leave me alone here, Eleanor?"

I looked at Reese who was staring at me furiously on top of my body right now. Reese's rough body movements while having s*x with me, and hearing her tone of voice that spoke so loudly to me, instantly made me feel scared of her. I had almost never seen Reese so angry with me as now. With slow and stiff movements, I shook my head, in order to answer the question she said there. Reese looked at me after that, but she didn't say anything else at all. Reese remained silent and continued our sexual activity for now.

But another pain that felt much worse could still be felt throughout my body now. It instantly made me realize that I really had been reborn. Moon Goddess had given me a second chance to be reborn in this life. Moon Goddess was still willing to listen to my request that would have been very difficult to grant. Moon Goddess still gave me a chance to live to change myself into a much better person than I was in my previous life.

I paused once again and my mind went back to where I was in my previous life, when Reese was so angry with me, because I decided to run away from her once again, along with Asher Jack, the man I had been in love with. And someone who I thought also loved me, the way I loved him. But Reese Carson, an Alpha whose power cannot be matched, is far greater than the power possessed by Asher. Reese even easily recaptured me, when Asher and I were fleeing through the forest back then.

"ELEANOR! STOP! DON'T RUN!"

I ran as hard as I could together with Asher, while holding each other's hands. I, who was terrified, didn't even want and dare to turn my head to see where Reese was. But I knew that Reese was very close to me and Asher. Right behind the two of us there. Tree after tree had been passed by me and Asher quite painstakingly. But it felt like the forest we were walking through was getting deeper and quieter. It seemed like there was no end to the way out of the forest now. I didn't know how much longer the two of us had to keep running, and also keep avoiding the pursuit of Reese Carson who was right behind us.

"ELEANOR, STOP RIGHT NOW!!! OR YOU'LL REGRET EVERYTHING!!! ELEANOR!!!!"

Until the next second, I could feel my body being pulled tightly towards the back. With big, burly arms, he hugged my stomach tightly to get into his body's embrace that felt very tight. And at that moment, I thought back to how Reese had been able to grab my back with such a fast, easy movement that I had lost my grip on Asher's hand when we were running away together in the forest.

"Let go! Let go of me, Reese! D*mn it! Let go of me!!!"

I rebelled very strongly in Reese's tight embrace, and I really hoped that with the remaining strength I still had at that time, I could easily escape from her. Although the reality was no. I simply couldn't extricate myself from Reese's strong embrace anymore. I could even feel my own labored breathing, while in Reese's arms. He grabbed my back so tightly that I was completely pressed against his burly body at that moment.

And I thought for a moment, is it possible, if Reese feels so afraid to lose me? Is it possible that Reese is afraid if I leave him?

"Once again, if you find the slightest loophole in my neglect of you, and you decide to run away again together with that man. Then I will definitely kill that man right in front of you, Eleanor."

Reese, whose strength far exceeded that of the other pack's Alphas, led me straight back to his pack, The Eclipse Thunder Pack. Which was even further away from the forest, where Asher and I had escaped earlier. Roughly, Reese immediately dropped me onto the bed in the room, and immediately confined me in both his arms and his burly body there.

"You really seem to want to get away from me, don't you, Eleanor? But unfortunately, that can never happen, and you can never do it so easily because you must and will stay with me. Here. In The Eclipse Thunder Pack. And that's for good, Eleanor Jane. Therefore, this is the only way I can get you to stay with me in my pack. I will make sure that you do not have the slightest chance of going far away and leaving me alone here."

So after that, Reese had s*x with me right away. Forcing me a bit, and not paying the slightest heed when I continued to rebel within the confines of his burly body. However, in my previous life, I was too stupid and too naive about my overwhelming feelings of love for Asher. You could also say, if I was too easily fooled by my feelings that felt very passionate at that time. I simply couldn't see clearly about the truth. I loved Asher so much in my previous life and that was back then. I even dared to say many things that might have deeply hurt Reese's feelings, even without realizing it in my previous life.

"I'm not willing to have s*x with you, Reese! I'll never let you touch me! Let go of me!"

I tried to get away, and rebelled from within the confines of Reese's body that was right on top of mine.

"It would be far better for me to die now than for you to be able to mark me as yours, Reese Carson. Because I don't love you at all! I love Asher Jack! And I hate you, Reese Carson! I hate you so much! Just let me die so you don't have the slightest chance to touch me and mark me as yours! Because I'm not yours! I never want to be yours!!! Never!"

At that moment, Reese lost his mind, and had rough s*x with me. He was so angry and probably also, he felt very disappointed in me for all the reckless actions, and every word I had taken and also said before, to be able to escape from him, along with Asher, and insult him. On top of that, Reese himself simply didn't know how to vent his anger in any other way. And I could see how angry and disappointed Reese was with me right now.

I closed my eyelids tightly as memories of my previous life flashed back into my mind. I really regretted saying so many things without thinking them through to Reese. I was too stupid, and was also blinded by my overwhelming love for Asher. So I didn't know and couldn't see at all about the danger that would threaten me from many sides back then. But now, things will go in a completely different way. I had already been reborn, and had also gotten a huge second chance to be able to refine my own destiny now.

"Listen to me once again very well, Eleanor Jane."

Reese's voice instantly woke me up from my daydream of remembering my own previous life just now. I opened both my eyelids quickly, and realized that Reese was already done with our sexual activity. Reese himself, in fact, was standing right next to the bed that I was now occupying. He had already put his pants and t-shirt back on, and didn't even seem to care about the sweat soaking almost his entire body there. But another thing that made me realize was that Reese had even covered my body with a blanket. Even though she felt angry, she knew just the right way to treat me quite special. Just like now.

"I won't give you a mark of ownership from me now, Eleanor. But I will definitely mark you as mine one day. And that is the time and day when you will fully realize that you are indeed the most important thing in my life. And nothing else can change that for me. And that's forever, Eleanor."

Reese put his hands in his pants pockets and looked at me who was still silent while returning his gaze there. Although Reese's eyes had always looked very sharp and intimidating, somehow it was only now that I could actually see the tenderness in them.

"Therefore, I will continue to give you a warning which I don't know when I can stop giving you the last warning. I don't know if you yourself will still be willing to listen to that or not now. But I will always try to keep giving you a stern warning, Eleanor Jane. That you must never run away from me again. You cannot even leave this pack. One step out of this pack, and I will definitely be able to bring you back."

After saying that, Reese immediately left the room, with quick footsteps. Reese even closed the door to the room quite loudly. After listening to Reese's words there, it instantly made me silent once again, and I turned my gaze to be able to look right at the ceiling of the room. Everything turned very quiet.

If I really was reborn, then, there would still be events that did go the same way as my previous life. Which means that after Reese left the room, then Fiona would definitely come to me immediately and pretend to care about me. If that was true, then Fiona would be arriving in this room any minute now.

Immediately, I covered my entire naked body using the blanket Reese had given me earlier very tightly. Slowly, I got off the bed, and prepared to get my replacement clothes from the closet. But before I can actually walk towards the closet, the door to the room bursts open and reveals Fiona with a worried face there now.

"Oh my, Eleanor! Did Reese just force you to have s*x with him?!"

Fiona's tone of voice, which I had never realized before, actually held a lot of certain intentions in my previous life, I could now understand very clearly. Fiona probably did ask with a surprised tone of voice, and also looked anxious when she saw my current appearance in this room. But it was all because of the jealousy she felt towards me. When she realized that Reese Carson, and I had had s*x, not with her.

Once again, I fell silent, not wanting to react to what Fiona had just said there. And I began to think, that I myself was really very stupid and very blind to all the things that had happened in my previous life. To let my precious life be lost in such a cruel way. Even animals would never have died the way I did before.

But now, I will change the destiny of my life. Because I am no longer stupid, and also blind like my old self. Also, because I myself could not realize in the slightest that my best friend, Fiona Anne, had fallen in love with the man who loved me from the very beginning and even now. Reese Carson, Alpha of The Eclipse Thunder Pack.

"I also know that Reese must be very angry about what you did earlier. He must have also forced you to have s*x with him, right? I've heard that Reese really likes rough s*x. Was he so rough when he had s*x with you? I was right, wasn't I?! Reese, must have forced you, Eleanor. Are you okay, Eleanor? Say something, and don't keep quiet like this? You're making me feel very anxious now. Say something, Eleanor!"

Fiona quickly grasped my arms tightly with both palms now. Fiona had a very anxious expression on her face that looked right at me. But I knew very well by now, that it was all false. It was all full of lies. Now, I was no longer Eleanor Jane who was easily tricked and deceived by all the fake worries that Fiona showed. I was now well aware that Fiona was always using me and also using me to get close to Reese indirectly, whenever she had the chance.

But in my previous life, I was too stupid to always continue to believe every word Fiona said to me. And I myself was completely unaware of the true intentions that Fiona had for me at that time. In my previous life, I always thought that Fiona came to be able to help me escape and also escape from Reese's grasp. But I had no idea that Fiona had actually come to create distance between me and Reese.

"Did he also hurt you, Eleanor? Hey, don't just stay quiet and pensive like that. You look really messy right now." Fiona gently touched my messy hair. Fiona seemed to be trying to tidy up my hair now.

"Did Reese really act so rough during s*x with you? Where did he hurt you? And how badly, Eleanor?"

I just looked at Fiona without intending to say anything. All those words she had been saying felt like nonsense to me now. Even so, I decided to keep listening to every word Fiona would say next. I had to pretend to believe everything Fiona said. Because, I didn't want to make Fiona feel suspicious and also strange, if I already knew about all the things that had happened between me and her in my previous life.

Everything Fiona said now was exactly the same as what she had said in my previous life. But now, I reacted differently. I was no longer crying, wailing, and begging Fiona for help. Now I was just stay silent

"I told you about everything, didn't I, Eleanor? That Reese Carson is indeed a very cruel and heartless Alpha. Amongst all the Alphas here, Reese Carson is the biggest jerk. Because, he was very powerful of all the Alphas, so he had much higher power than the other Alphas. You could say, if Reese Carson, used his power and also his power as Alpha King, to trap you to stay with him, and treat you arbitrarily."

Fiona released the grip of her hands on my shoulders, and sighed loudly there. But I decided to remain silent, and waited to see how far Fiona would continue to speak in front of me now. Even so, I myself also had to continue to hold back all the emotional turmoil that I was feeling. I didn't want to explode my emotions, and destroy the pretense that I was showing to Fiona right now. It's still not the right time for all my plans right now.

"But, don't worry about anything from now on, Eleanor. Asher and I, both of us, will definitely come and help you, so that you can be completely released from Reese Carson's grasp. You and Asher can escape together to a far-off place. Then the two of you can live together very happily, without any disturbances, threats, and worries that Reese Carson will give to the two of you later."

Fiona even for the umpteenth time, directly touched my left shoulder with the palm of her right hand, and gave a few gentle strokes there. It looked like she was trying to calm me down who was just silent and listening to her every word right now. Fiona even continued to behave, as if she was really my best friend until now. And I felt really sick of it.

"Therefore, before it's too late... you must be able to leave Reese Carson, Eleanor. You and Asher should get back together and try to escape from Reese Carson's The Ecplise Thunder Pack. Otherwise, danger will always threaten you, no matter where you end up, Eleanor. Considering how vast Reese's power is, he must have a lot of people who will support him and help him. If only, you had escaped from inside his pack again. I'm very sure, if Reese will definitely be very easy to get you back later. I don't know what way she will do it, but Reese will always be able to find you, and have you again."

Fiona shuddered, and once again pretended to be scared by all the things she had just said to me there.

"Therefore, Asher and I will help you escape from Reese again. You must be able to immediately and completely leave Reese now, Eleanor. Otherwise, Reese will definitely be able to threaten your life if necessary. Not only that, Reese will definitely threaten your entire family. You certainly don't want that to happen, do you? On top of that, he has even forced you to have s*x with him, as a punishment for you, because you had decided to run away together with Asher earlier. Who knows what other punishments Reese will be able to give you, if you don't completely leave and disappear from her life. That feels very terrible, Eleanor."

I unconsciously gripped the blanket that I was still using to cover my naked body. I did so in order to hold back and suppress all the emotions I was feeling right now. I keep telling myself that I need to stay in control. I must not lose control of myself now. Fiona doesn't even stop to brainwash me with all the manipulative things she says to me now. And I've had enough of hearing her voice in my head.

In fact, if I think back to the events in my previous life, it was because of my stupidity and naivety that I always believed everything Fiona said that was full of nonsense. And also I who always continued to support all the plans that Fiona and Asher had prepared beforehand, under the pretext of being able to help me escape as far as possible from Reese, was the main cause of how I died. Because of Fiona's b*llsh*t and manipulative words, I had gotten my death which was very painful in my previous life.

"Alright, I have to go first now. I'll see you later."

After that, Fiona left in a hurry from Reese's room and pack. All I remember is that Fiona and Asher, for sure, will carry out their next plan to trap me.

But now, after the Moon Goddess has given me a second chance at life, things will go very differently. I will never allow all of Fiona's nonsense and manipulation to make me believe her again. I wouldn't be so easily deceived by the two of them again now. In this new life of mine now, I already know what will happen in the future. So I won't easily allow all the tricks between Fiona and Asher to be successfully done to me.

Instead, I myself will make the fate of my second life favor me, and make Fiona's and Asher's lives much worse than my previous life. I will make them both regret all the actions, and also all the plans that they have prepared for me. I will never let Fiona and Asher live in peace in my current life. I myself must start preparing all the plans that I will make to be able to repay all the things that have been done to me in the past. And I will make sure that the price of their betrayal is their lives.

Three days had passed now, since Reese and I had s*x earlier. I never thought that there would still be events that went on like in my previous life. I recalled all the things and events that had happened in my previous life. That was when Reese didn't show up at all in front of me for three days straight. I think, Reese was trying to avoid me, to be able to calm himself down. I also thought, that Reese might be avoiding me, so that he would not lose control of himself, with the feelings of anger, and also disappointment that he might still feel towards me now.

And I realized that was a bad thing.

And for many days in my current life, I continued to try very hard to become closer to Reese. To become someone who could possibly be even better, to be able to gain Reese's trust. Because after all, I only have Reese in this life. Someone like Reese, who is unquestioningly willing to give me a huge amount of trust, even though I myself have betrayed that trust many times. And I needed to make up for all the mistakes I had made in my previous life.

But the problem now was Reese who didn't even want to give me the slightest chance. As if, Reese himself has almost lost the trust he has for me now. And I don't want all the things I'm afraid of to happen later. I still need her as my companion. Or should I admit that I myself am getting used to Reese's presence around me? And Reese's absence here even makes me start to feel very empty.

I feel like I'm becoming incomplete. Or I have no idea. Perhaps, everything I feel now is just a suggestion, for all the bad things I've gone through and also experienced in my previous life. Besides, Reese himself even actually kept the words he said to me three days ago. About me not being able to leave his pack. Reese has locked me up inside this Eclipse Thunder Pack of his for the past three days.

Reese himself also didn't even want to talk to me directly. Even just to make small talk or look directly at me, he didn't want to at all. Reese seemed to disappear and hide because of his anger towards me three days ago. And it all feels very frustrating for me right now. Now, I have a plan to meet Reese in person. I don't want Reese to keep avoiding me like this.

My plan is to make food that Reese might like. This is the first time I've actually cooked food for someone else to enjoy, and that's for Reese. And I myself had never even thought about this before. Thinking back to how Reese who loved me so much from the beginning until now, I thought, it would be good to be able to make her believe in me once again. I don't want to keep disappointing Reese, and that karma could come back to me later. I don't want that to happen later.

"Luke, can you tell Reese that I really want to see him now? There's something I have to give him. It's very special. Please." I asked Luke, Luke Reign, and he was the Beta of The Eclipse Thunder Pack. He is the person Reese can trust the most in this pack.

Since I myself wasn't allowed to go out at all and was confined in this pack for three days, then I didn't have much choice, other than to always talk through Luke in order to meet with Reese. I myself had even tried to talk and send enough messages to Luke, so that he could convey them to Reese, to let me meet with Reese. But the result was still in vain. Reese still didn't want to see me for the past three days.

"Not this again, Eleanor Jane. I'm tired of all the fake attempts you've made these past three days. Alpha Reese himself must be tired too."

Luke, who was looking at his cell phone, immediately raised his head and looked at me with a look that looked very uneasy there. Apparently, Luke himself was even tired of all the effort I had put in over the past three days to meet Reese. Luke put his cell phone in his pocket and stood upright right in front of me now. I was holding the food box that I had prepared since this morning very tightly in both of my hands right now.

"Stop playing around and doing all the sneaky ways to escape from this pack, Eleanor Jane. You know very well that Alpha Reese will always be able to find you and capture you again to get into this pack again later. So you must remain calm now, and wait for the right time until the anger felt by Alpha Reese is over."

Luke is warning me again now. But I guess, I won't be at a loss for ways to make Reese trust me again. I will definitely be able to make Reese calm down and be willing to talk or meet with me after this. And I myself also can't just give up, just because I can't meet with Reese. I have to keep trying, to be able to convince Reese and also Luke if needed.

"I won't run away from The Eclipse Thunder Pack anymore, Luke. I don't want to run away from Reese Carson either. I will remain in this pack, along with Reese. I will never go and leave Reese here alone. I promised, that I would change all the mistakes I made."

I immediately replied to Luke's warning words with a slow tone of voice. After that, I pointed the food box that was in the palm of my hand forward, and showed it to Luke, in order to make him believe what I said to him.

"I just wanted to deliver the food to Reese. I've been preparing and cooking this meal myself since this morning. This... this is my first time cooking for someone else. Before, I very rarely went into the kitchen, and cooked a meal like this. So I thought, it would be much better if Reese could eat it, and tell me about how the dishes I've cooked for her taste."

I paused for a moment, and let out my breath slowly. Withdrawing my hands, I continued to watch Luke's facial expression which looked very surprised by what I had just said to him now.

"So, can I see Reese now, Luke? Please... it's been almost three days, and I haven't seen Reese at all. I just want to try to fix everything that happened between me and Reese before if necessary. I want to be on good terms with Reese again."

"Wait a moment, Eleanor. Just a moment."

Luke immediately raised his right palm, as a sign to make me stop talking. I looked at Luke with a worried look. What if he still didn't want to let me meet Reese? What if he doesn't believe me now?

"Are you really not mistaken, Eleanor?"

"What does that mean?" I mumbled cluelessly after hearing his question.

"What... aren't you mistaking someone right now? I mean, you cooked a meal for Alpha Reese? That was the most ridiculous thing I've heard come out of that mouth of yours in quite some time. Ever since Alpha Reese came back into this pack with you, I could never believe all the things you said, and all the things you did. I'm much more likely to believe that you mixed the food you cooked with poison, and poisoned Alpha Reese to death. Instead of me believing that you only intended to deliver the food you cooked to Alpha Reese."

Luke even started to chuckle there now. Then after that, he looked at me with an incredulous look mixed with an unsure smile on his face right now. Luke rubbed his face with the palm of his right hand in a slow motion. Indicating that he still couldn't believe what he had heard from me earlier.

"After all, ever since you came into The Eclipse Thunder Pack, you've hated Alpha Reese so much, haven't you? Then now, all of a sudden your attitude has changed three hundred and sixty degrees. And that makes me even more convinced that you don't really want to fix things between you and Alpha Reese, Eleanor. I'm also pretty sure that this is all part of your new plan to catch Alpha Reese off guard, so you can use that to escape the pack again. You and your lover are both cunning."

I fell silent after listening to everything Luke said. If I were me in my previous life, then I would say that everything Luke said was true. But not when I'm living in my current life. I really don't want to run away from Reese or leave his pack anymore. I really don't want to go and leave Reese here. I will try very hard, to be able to become the woman that Reese wants me to be. I also don't want to disappoint Reese any further.

"I know that everything that has happened now will have a big impact on everyone's trust here. The things I did before will definitely make you unable to trust me. Just like Reese is feeling right now. Even if I explain everything to you now, you still won't be able to trust me, Luke. And I can totally understand that. Because, it's all my fault too. I've disappointed Reese, The Eclipse Thunder Pack, and troubled you and Reese too much with all the things I've done."

I sighed once more. As for Luke, he was silent and listening to my words there. Luke was even still looking right at me in disbelief.

"If you still can't trust me with my good intentions even a little bit now. Then, fine, it won't be a problem for me now. But I will still go see Reese, no matter what. Even if it has to be under your supervision. Then it won't be a problem for me, Luke. At least, I can meet Reese in person and can give him the food I've made."

Luke is getting more and more silent and seems to be in turmoil with himself right now. I knew he was making a difficult decision for himself there. I knew how well Luke worked under Reese's orders. Of course, Luke wouldn't dare to go against or even disappoint Reese in carrying out the task.

"Alright then."

Luke suddenly muttered, after sighing loudly there. I looked at Luke with an uncertain feeling.

"I'll contact Alpha Reese, and explain to him that you want to meet him in order to give him the food you cooked. But, remember one thing, Eleanor. If Alpha Reese refuses to meet with you, then you must not insist anymore. Enough of all Alpha Reese's disappointments because of you."

"Really? Thank you so much, Luke. Thank you so much... I promise, I will never let Alpha Reese down again. I really do promise."

I mumbled a quick reply to his words, and had a big smile on my lips by now. I felt that long-awaited relief in my heart instantly. After three days, I struggled so hard to meet and talk with Reese again, I was finally able to meet with Reese soon. However, I should be able to repair the relationship between me and Reese sooner or later now.

After that, Luke took his cell phone back from his pants pocket, and started tapping on the screen there. I anxiously hoped and prayed that Reese would pick up Luke's call, and also let me see him now. I looked at Luke's cell phone screen where the call was starting to connect. It instantly made me believe that Reese had received Luke's call.

"Eleanor!"

The call that sounded so loud instantly made me turn around and look right at the source of the sound now. As for Luke, he raised his head and looked forward, right in the same direction as me. There, right in the doorway of The Eclipse Thunder Pack, Asher Jack stood with a confidence that made me sick at once. I was sure that Fiona had let him in.

"This is a good time to get out of this pack, Eleanor! Hurry up, before Reese comes back into this pack and ruins all our escape plans now."

"Hey, how dare you get into this pack again?!" Luke reacted violently.

"You can't stop me from taking Eleanor away. I'm taking Eleanor away and away from this d*mn pack! She doesn't belong to Reese, she only belongs to me. And she will only stay and live with me." I could faintly hear Reese's voice from the direction of the phone call made through Luke's cell phone over there. I'm sure, if Reese had listened to everything.
