REID’S POV
Rage coursed through my veins as I went out of the tent to go to where I would meet the other Alphas. I took a few deep breaths, surveying the whole area as I walked to the red tent, checking over every man’s face and trying to figure out who the hell was Aliyah’s brother among them.
That fucking bastard who made my mate suffer had to learn his lesson very well. He was the reason Aliyah experienced so much pain that kept her haunted for most of her life. He and his incompetent father scarred her.
My wolf was howling for vengeance inside of me, and I could have sworn it was the same case for me. I wanted to seek revenge for what my mate had experienced, and I knew that the only punishment that would bring his family to the same level of agony as what she had gone through was death.
Aliyah would not have felt the knot of anxiety if only we had stayed in our territory. If only we had another choice. Ever since I’ve become t
REID’S POVThe moment I heard the bell rung, I hurriedly opened the door to let the doctor in. Because of his presence, I breathed a sigh of relief."She's inside, severely injured, and she's already lost consciousness," I told him, acting calm despite the fact that my insides were already churning with fear.When I saw that he was scrutinizing the area before approaching where Aliyah was, I growled, "Start moving!"I didn't have time for foolishness. He only needed to make sure that he would treat my wife; that was all I asked of him."Please pardon my rudeness, Alpha."I aggressively moved my jaw as I followed him as he moved toward the unconscious Aliyah who was lying on the sofa.He set the equipment he was carrying to the side and began by taking her pulse. He was moving too slowly, and I was growing frustrated with him, but I also realized that I had no knowledge of what he was doing, so I needed to calm the fuck down.I silently howled when he attempted to remove the white clot
REID’S POVAnger, groans, howls, and pain were felt and heard all over the hotel. Many were crying in fear of getting slashed and bitten, and many were courageous enough to defend those who were innocent.But I and my wolf were already preoccupied with Aliyah's bleeding body so I made sure no one on my way would win over me.I bit their tails, and their neck, made them bleed, and slashed their bodies. Everything I saw became the enemy in my eyes."We'll take over," howled the other wolves that helped me with the fight.But it did not stop me; I made sure I slaughter each of them. No one would get away from hurting Aliyah.Some of them fearfully pawed the ground as a result of my vicious snarl. I glided on the other wolf's side, causing an incision that resulted in an audible yelp of pain.The second white wolf growled and made an effort to shrug me off as I leaped upon him and nipped his leg. However, I was able to easily injure him since his wolf was too weak—far weaker than mine.I
REID ‘S POVWe were supposed to be taking pleasure in this vacation. It was our time for peace, it was our time to be together, to enjoy. And yet, as a group of rogues attacked the east coast, I realized it would not be an ordinary time for leisure at all.Inside the hotel where the unwanted visitors took place, I growled in annoyance."Reid, it's dangerous," Aliyah mumbled behind me while holding my arm. I could feel her trembling with that hold. I knew she was feeling fear for my life again.I craned my neck and looked at her. "They are mere weaklings. Don't worry."I saw how she sighed with worry filling her stunning orbs. "Just please be careful, okay?"The innocent people who were left inside the hotel were cowering in fear as they saw how the rogues surrounded the place. Quickly, my eyes locked on Aliyah who seemed scared about what would happen."Run away from here, I'll take care of everyone," I said in a hoarse voice. But my little wolf was stubborn as ever! I knew there was
REID’S POVWhen I made the decision to stop taking her repeatedly, it was already late and deep in the evening. I was so ravenous for her that I almost lost control of my desire.My arms were tightly encircling her waist as I leaned back against the headboard with her wedged between my thighs.Aliyah played with my fingers and became completely engrossed with it while I was gazing at her, fully enjoying that she was finally in my arms, not mad, but tired of how many times I pleasured her."What are you thinking so deeply?" I asked her.She tilted her head and looked at me for a bit and smiled. "Well, I'm wondering if it's possible to have a vacation with you. Uh, but never mind, I know you have a lot of obligations to fulfill and—" I cut her off and buried my face in the side of her neck. She smelled like me.I closed my eyes tightly and inhaled sharply."We can do that."Since I brought her back, I had already been considering taking her someplace. However, as everything flipped upsi
ALIYAH’S POVGuilt crept into my system. It had been days since I realized that my Alpha left and ever since, I failed to function normally.I did not even have the strength to eat and socialize. /"We should have talked to him properly last time,"/ Kae mumbled, also saddened because of not having the presence of Reid around.I gulped and did not answer. Slowly, I regretted fighting with him that day. If only I was a little wiser, if only I could control my emotions, if only I tried to listen.Tucking in my bed, totally displeased with everything that had transpired, I let the lone tears drop.I was in the middle of those when all of the sudden, I heard a constant knocking on the door of the room.Annoyed, I deliberately stood up and opened it only to see Klaus, the Beta of the pack.I lazily eyed him. "What is it?""Our Alpha is injured after fighting against the panther in the forest. He's in Charlotte's clinic and—"Without further ado, I pushed him aside and run toward the clinic.
Reid's POVIt was as if there was something hard to swallow after hearing how she yelled at me. Seeing my mate, my Aliyah looking like a mess, as if she no longer knew what to do made it even more painful."I-I need some space, Reid. I need time to think and breathe, so, please... I'm so suffocated. Just leave me alone."Suffocated. Was it really hard to deal with me? Was she that angry to the point that she felt suffocated when I was near? My jaw moved aggressively as I tried to contain the overwhelming misery I could feel deep inside."Is that what you want?" I asked with my hoarse voice, hoping that she would tell me the opposite, that she did not mean those words, that she was just tired so she spat those words without thinking.I was about to take a step nearer but I stopped when I heard her answer."Yes... I don't want to see you in the meantime. I just need time for everything."She needed time. Something I had to accept, something I had to give her.I shook my head and bit my
