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
ALIYAH’S POVAll I heard was screaming. My breathing was becoming heavy as I watched the happenings from outside through the small window of the attic. I was in helpless horror, watching how the warriors fought against warriors, tearing their opponents’ bodies into pieces, and innocent people running away, screaming for help.Fire and smoke were everywhere, and the more I watched it, the more my chest tightened in great terror. I shook my head and shut my eyes, hoping it was just a dream. But as my heart pounded aggressively, my mind started to panic, realizing everything was real.Although my body was still weak and in pain, I ran towards the door and tried to open it, only to figure out that it was locked from the outside."Help!" I began screaming as I banged on the door with the remaining strength I had. The wounds on my wrists started to open and bleed while I continued to slam the door, trying to get the attention of the people downstair
REID’S POVLooking at the bloody full moon, I already knew that we would have a long night. As soon as we arrived near the back gate of the Silver Moon territory, Sage and his troops did not waste time and broke in to take care of the warriors guarding the area.I straightened my back as I watched the full moon. In my mind, I had asked the Moon Goddess to bless our pack and to help me find my mate.Admittedly, my chest was filled with rage. I could not promise that I would not kill anyone who got in my way. I waited for this day to come. I would do everything to win this battle, as this was the only choice I had to get my Aliyah back.I was with the rest of the warriors, waiting for Sage’s signal for our safe entrance. A few growls could be heard coming from the gates, an indication that the first troops were carrying out the initial plan as expected."It looks like the blood bath has started," Klaus commented, tilting his head and smir
REID’S POVShawn Harper was the first one who made an attack, aiming to rip my neck, but I was quick to dodge him. Klaus was quick enough and jumped, shoving the Silver Moon Alpha away with his massive strength.But he did not stop right there. Shawn jumped forward for another attack. I sprinted beneath him and turned back, jumping over him and scratching his back with my own claws. He then howled, fell to the ground, but was still able to stand up like nothing ever happened. He snarled, and his saliva kept flowing from his filthy mouth.I shot him a glare and asked him again, "Where’s Aliyah?!""Why would I tell you, mutt?!""Watch your language!" Klaus growled as he sneered at him."Do you think you can scare me?" Shawn gritted his teeth.I looked at him furiously. "No, but hell, I’m going to enjoy making you suffer for a bit."With that, I rushed towards him, and tried to bite him but before I could do that
ALIYAH’S POVThe woods were dark and cold. As I ran to save myself, a shiver went down my spine, thinking that I was not safe even in this place either.I tripped over a large root of the tree, and I screamed in pain when my body fell to the ground. My feet and arms were both wounded, and my blood continuously flowed. I shifted back into my human form. My body felt even worse... I was on the verge of collapsing. But I managed to gather my remaining strength and stood up as tears streamed down my face."You have to live... You have to keep going," I reminded myself, despite my weak voice.I ran as fast as I could, without even knowing where I should go. The only thing I could think about right now was to survive; to flee and return to the Jewel Pack. I had no idea how I would be able to go home, but right now I needed to hide somewhere safe.Even if I went farther from the Silver Moon land, the cries of people echoed in my direction. It broke
REID’S POVThe Silver Moon warriors blocked my way before I could get near the hillside where I saw Aliyah. Rage exploded in my inside as I was running out of patience.I desperately wanted to see her now, or else I would really lose my mind.With the determination fuelling me, I ended up fighting them without any mercy. It was not a tough fight at all. The only thing that made it difficult was the countless warriors coming my way.I must admit that this pack had a larger number of warrior wolves compared to my own pack. Their number was enough to conquer another pack's land, and their strength wasn’t something a pack could easily ignore. Although their land was being eaten by wild fire, the Silver Moon warriors chose to fight until the end.Well, I admired their competency. If not for their alpha who made my mate’s life miserable, I would have applauded them."Don’t block my way!" I growled and beat another three wol
ALIYAH’S POVDo you know that phase where you felt the surge before death, and yet a miracle happened that made you feel alive again?That moment when all your strength had been sucked out of you; the thing you called hope was no longer coursing through you, but there seemed to be a divine intervention that dragged you back from the depths of darkness, and so you've seen the light all over again, and just like that, you were able to breathe fresh air of life and felt a great deal of hope coursing back through you, as if it never really disappeared, as if it never left you...It was probably how I would describe what I was feeling right now...The second our eyes met, something within me felt like living all over again. It gave me a strength that I never expected to feel all over again after those bad circumstances I’ve been through, and admittedly, it felt like a dream.Sobbing, I cupped his face tight, memorizing every feature that did
