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 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

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 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 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
