REID’S POVAliyah was panting hard when my fingers touched her sex.While both of us were in deep pleasure, I also thought about what Klaus had said earlier. There were problems with the elders of the pack, and I was badly needed."Reid, please go check on them first," Aliyah whispered, breathless.Even if she didn’t want to, she was the first one to withdraw from kissing me. I inhaled sharply and gazed at her eyes, which were radiating the same dissatisfaction I felt.All I wanted was to make out with her... and I couldn’t think of anything else."We can continue when you return," she said shyly."Fuck..." I whispered, shut my eyes, and then nodded, thinking my mate was right. "Fine, but, I’ll be back... and we’ll continue where we left off."I stood up and got dressed. Anger coursed through my body as I went out of the pack house to go to the meeting hall where the elders had gathered. My body wa

ALIYAH’S POVHeat surged through my body when Reid pinned me on the wall. He started kissing me, making me feel like I was his prey and that he wanted to devour me. My body burned in irresistible desire, and so I crashed into his lips as he gripped my ass tight enough that it made me moan against his mouth.My wolf was screaming more... more... more... and it totally drove me insane."Fuck, Aliyah," he mumbled in between our kisses when I rubbed myself against his body, hugging him to feel him more and to satisfy the need that kept burning me.He kissed me torridly, his tongue swirling and demanding its entrance. I held his nape and gave in, letting him taste the inside of my mouth with as much vigor as possible.Reid pushed the door closed. In one swift move, he carried me, one hand gripping my ass as support and the other one holding my nape to deepen the kiss. When his lips sucked my skin and went down to my neck, my mouth opened and I moa

REID’S POVPanic went through me when I saw how Aliyah reacted when Lucas’s mate hugged her. Swallowing hard, I steeled myself and followed her upstairs."Aliyah!" I called for her.I was cursing repeatedly in my mind. It was my damn fault!I should have been more careful of her. I had all the means to protect her from anything that would trigger her trauma, but I turned a blind eye, hoping she’d be able to overcome her fears and blend into the pack.I glanced at the open door of our home. I breathed heavily as I walked through. I hadn’t seen her yet, but her loud heartbeat and painful cries told me that she was in the bed room.My jaw clenched. Hearing her cry made me want to punish myself...I walked to the bedroom; every step was heavy as I listened to Aliyah sobbing inside.I pushed the door open and saw her sitting on the cold floor. Her back was leaning on the side of the bed while her head was bur

ALIYAH’S POVI could hardly believe that I’d see another pair of eyes, full of contempt, looking at me. I held my breath, afraid that even my breathing would irritate the old lady in front of me.All I could do was step back as I was too scared. The fragments of the bad memories from the past had played in my head, making me feel like the worst part of my life ever."Alica," Reid growled, and that made the old lady shudder."A—Alpha?""You were asking who she is?" He practically spat at her. "Did you really just offend my mate?"He looked at the old lady as if she’d committed a mortal sin. His blue eyes looked so cold and treacherous. I swallowed the lump in my throat. Even I could not handle the danger that suddenly showed up in his presence."Reid..." I called for him in my faint voice."Oh good Lord!" The old lady cried out loud, and then knelt in front of him. "I apologize, Alpha. It isn’t my i

REID’S POV"Looks like a serious talk, huh?" Klaus said as he entered the kitchen after Lucas left.I shrugged, leaning against the countertop table. My eyes landed on him, and I noticed him smirking as he poured a glass of some wine into the new wineglass for him."What do you think about the human girl he’s mated with?" I couldn’t help but ask as I was curious.It was the first time I’ve had a pack member who was mated with a human. Admittedly, Lucas’s situation happened very rarely—a different case scenario in a werewolf’s life happened once in a blue moon. Werewolves and humans couldn’t co-exist on the same land given the conflicts and sheer amount of territorial claims issues, and as an Alpha of my small pack, I could never calm down.Klaus’s eyes glanced at me. "Do you really want to ask that?"I nodded, hoping to hear a proper answer from him. "Just wondering. I wasn’t able t
