ALIYAH’S POV
My hand formed a fist. I could feel the rage burning inside my chest. It was so extreme, and it made me desperate to shift, fight her, and win.
Why did she have to include Reid’s name in this conversation? How dare she speak his name like she never did anything wrong with the man I loved?
I clearly remembered how she killed him... and yet there was no remorse in her eyes. All I could see in her was pure evil, and she was hungry for a fight.
Biting my lower lip, I wished that I could lean into my wolf side. I hoped I was powerful enough to seek revenge for what she did, and that I wouldn’t force myself to be submissive to her. But here I was, sucking it all in. This whole thing caught me off guard.
"You better stop ruining my mood, Aliyah." She shot me a deadly glare as her eyes narrowed. "Let’s go!"
She stormed out of the boutique like a spoiled teenager. I turned to the cashier, who seemed to have awaken
ALIYAH’S POVI swallowed hard, trying to clear my mind and think. Because of the fear that was rising under my skin, I was battling to keep my breathing under control. My legs trembled as I feared Samarra would locate me and kill me at any minute."Miss..."My gaze was drawn to the market place's exit. As I swallowed once more, my breath became faster. This wasn’t good. My anxiety was becoming stronger with each passing second."C—Can I trust you?" I looked back at the werewolf in front of me, whose worried gaze was locked on my face.I didn't feel threatened in his presence. Even my wolf didn't seem bothered by him offering his help, but I couldn't stop myself from asking because I was anxious how he'd respond. I wanted to see it in his eyes that he had no intention of hurting me...."Try me. I’m not as bad as you might think." His eyes dropped to my knees. "You can’t run fast in that state. Your wounds aren&rs
ALIYAH’S POVMy wolf swirled inside. It was like she wanted me to trust this werewolf sitting across from my seat, despite the fact that we’d only met an hour ago. I remembered that day when I first escaped from this territory, Reid interrogated me too. While I didn’t feel any regret that I escaped for the second time around, I could not help but feel so pissed that I had to go through interrogation again.If only Reid was the one who was questioning me, I would not mind answering all his questions even if it took us forever to get done. But in front of me was the Gamma of the Silver Moon pack, whose dangerous, impatient eyes were darted on me and seemingly wanted to pin me down at any moment. I swore I thought he was kind, but the moment he heard me talking about Samarra, his behaviour changed, and I did not understand why.I wiped my tears away as I sucked in a breath. I guess I had no other choice but to somehow trust my wolf about her gut f
ALIYAH’S POVIt was already dark outside when the rain stopped pouring. All I could feel was the intense emptiness that built up in me as I sat on the bed that Jaxon lent me to rest on. It had been days since I returned to this land, yet my heart was still hoping that this was just a nightmare, and I’d wake up the next morning in Reid’s arm.I wished desperately that this wasn’t true and that when I came back to my senses, I would see Reid’s face, and he would smile at me like the way he used to. He was supposed to stay with me and look after me while I carried our child inside my womb. I knew he’d become a great father and that he’d shower us with the greatest love.But he was gone... He left me alone for good.I wondered how Jaxon could act so brave after the death of his mate. He looked so tough, someone who was in control and could still think straight even though we both knew that Samarra was breathing the sa
ALIYAH’S POVI wasn’t able to sleep that night, visualizing how our plan would turn out to be a success. The next few hours passed in a blur. Before I realized it, the next day had finally come.It was the time for me to escape. Although my body seemed very heavy because I was feeling under the weather, I reminded myself that I must find the strength in me to carry out the plan. Otherwise, there might not be another chance like this again in the future."The meeting time will be at one o’clock in the afternoon. You should be near the gate before one, but far enough for the guards not to see and smell you," Jaxon reminded me as we had our breakfast. "Remember, you have to sprint in your wolf form and never look back once you cross the gates."I kept nodding my head while Jaxon made a couple of reminders, as I didn’t want to make any mistakes. If I made one, there would be a high chance that Shawn and Samarra would be suspicious of J
ALIYAH’S POVTo say that I was angry would be an understatement. I was consumed with fury, hatred, and anguish. The hope that I once felt for a few seconds had vanished into the air. I thought it was Reid who came back to me... but this witch, Samarra, only imitated his physical form to lure me. Not only had she killed him mercilessly, but she had disrespected him in the most unimaginable way."How dare you!" I shouted through my gritted teeth.I pushed her away as I stepped back, giving her a deadly glare as my fury rekindled all over again. She used Reid... and I would never forgive her for what she did."What?" she replied dryly, checking her long, filthy nails as if the situation bored her to death.With tears streaming down my face, I snarled at her. My fangs grew out, and I’d never hesitate to kill her right now. That was the only thing I had in mind—to kill her, as I had enough of her wickedness."You used Reid&rsquo
SAMARRA’S POV"Damn it!" I groaned as I struggled to stand up after being thrown against a big rock. It felt as though my bones had been damaged, and my legs wobbled because of the trauma.What did she do?How did she do that?I coughed a little amount of blood. Breathing heavily, I gathered my strength to walk towards Aliyah, who had already passed out after screaming so loudly. What had just happened left me absolutely bewildered.The outburst of rage that she let out with a scream was followed by a change in the wind's direction, which resulted in my being carried away by a powerful gust of wind. It was a blow that I was not prepared for, coming from a feeble she-wolf who was going through tremendous pain due to the fact that she was having a miscarriage.As soon as I stood up in front of her, I looked down at her with my forehead creased. I could tell because I was completely enthralled by the powerful force she had jus
REID’S POVWhenever I woke up, I would feel the familiar pain and worry inside my chest. It had been my morning routine since Aliyah was kidnapped, and every minute my wolf and I were losing our minds over the possibility that something bad had happened to Aliyah and our baby.I sighed, massaging my temples and forcing myself to stand up. The sun was already up, yet the bedroom was still filled with darkness. I did not bother opening the curtains anymore, and I didn’t think I could be bothered to do other things aside from preparing myself and the warriors to get my mate back.I walked in front of the mirror. Inhaling sharply, I decided to remove the gauze wrapped around my tummy. Once completely removed, I looked down at the wound that came from the silver bullet that the witch used to try to kill me. Charlotte had a difficult time mending the wound since it reacted severely to the silver, and it took days for it to finally heal.But now that
ALIYAH’S POV"Just one bite, Aliyah!""I already said no!" I yelled and pushed her.Samarra huffed in annoyance. "Don’t act so foolish when I’m still being kind to you. Here, eat it!"She grabbed the piece of bread and rubbed it on my face. I kept my mouth closed and glanced furiously into her eyes."I would never eat something that came from your hands!" I shouted at her.The next thing I knew was that she slapped me on the face, so hard that I felt my skin vibrate. Though it was so painful, I kept my straight face to mock her, making her see that I could stand any punishment she would give me.In the back of my mind, all I could think of was my child and nothing else. She was the reason why I had miscarriage. Because of her wickedness, I lost the only one that would remind me of Reid. My baby was the only lifeline I had, and she took it away from too.I would never ever forgive her!"Who are you scari
