How can I use my Apple TV directly on MY iMac Pro Laptop? I mean directly on my iMac WITHOUT connecting to TV
iPad Air 2 WiFi, Cellular, iOS 8.1.3
There is no such thing as an "iMac Pro Laptop". And you can't directly connect an ATV to anything but a screen with HDMI input.

I am sure I made a mistake, I meant to say Mac Pro computer, I do have Apple TV and would like to use it directly using my Mac Pro instead a TV, How can I do that?
Why? It does not make sense.
The Apple Tv just makes it easy to access online Movie and Tv services on a TV. All of which can already be accessed on a computer through their websites or Apps.
I any case, no you cannot connect an Apple TV to a computer to use it as a screen.
But whatever you need to access from the Apple TV you should be able to access directly on the computer.
What are you trying to view?
As I already said, you can't. The ATV can output to HDMI only. So the viewing device has to be a screen with HDMI input. And, just in case you didn't know, the ATV can't store any content locally (except for apps and screen savers). All content (movies/TV shows and such) has to be fed through a network connection (LAN or Internet or both).
