Why My Mate Cries
Chapter 73

ALIYAH’S POV

To 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’s form, I will never forgive you!” I roared angrily. “You have no right to do that!”

She laughed devilishly. “Why? You were so happy to see his good-looking face a minute ago, Aliyah. You were so dramatic that I almost cried. Consider it my gift since we met again.”

Cold raindrops started to soak my black cape, and it sent a chilling feeling through my body. My vision turned red. I stormed towards Samarra and, with great force, I scratched her face using my claws. My claws left wounds on her cheeks, and it did not take a while for the b***d to flow down her jaw.

But she did not flinch even if I wounded her. Instead, she glanced at me, giving me a smirk, which made my rage course through my body. It was like my attack did not even bother her just once. Her eyes looked at me like she was challenging me to do more than that, to entertain her as she found me dull.

“Do you really think you can hurt me with a few scratches you made on my cheek?” She said, in her dangerous tone.

She wiped some of her b***d and tasted it mischievously. I struggled to breathe at what she did. My eyes were widening, both in fury and terror. But I wouldn’t back down right now. The rage whirled in my gut, and it urged me to attack her once again.

I shifted into my wolf form and was about to leap on her, but she used her magic spell to control my movement and forcefully threw me to the gates. I howled when I felt my back cracking against the firm metal gates. My vision went blurry as soon as I fell to the wet ground. The pain was so intense that I ended up shifting back to my human form.

Samarra walked towards me. Every step she made, I could feel that my death was coming near me. Even if I wanted to stand up, my body seemed to have gotten numb, and the only thing I could do was blink my tears away.

I closed my eyes and breathed in the mixed scent of rain and cold, wet ground. I pictured Reid’s genuine smile in my mind. I’d always thought we would have a happy life, have a big family, and grow old in each other’s arms. I’d never forget the first time I saw him, those pair of blue eyes that showed me mercy, how we ended up loving each other in the most exciting way, how I had a chance to be mated with the best Alpha I’ve known…

If this were to be the end of me, I’d like to remember Reid’s face before I lose my breath.

“You’re so amusing, Aliyah.”

I opened my eyes and sucked in a breath. Samarra looked down at me with such contempt in her eyes. Although my vision was already a blur, I managed to notice how the scratches I inflicted on her cheeks healed so fast. Her face returned to normal; she was perfectly wicked once more, as if I had never attacked her.

“I can see your desire to die, dog.” She grinned from ear to ear and then shook her head. “Too bad, death isn’t your punishment right now.”

“W—What do you mean?”

She crouched in front of me, giving me a terrifying stare. “You are currently having a miscarriage, Aliyah. It will be fun if you take a look.”

A sudden feeling of doom consumed my entire senses, and it pierced my heart to an intense extent. My hearing started to be inaudible, and as everything turned slow-mo, I forced my head to look down my abdomen. Right there, I saw the b***d flowing down my legs. The shock, sadness, and despair filled me all at once, and I wanted to die.

Shaking my head, I gasped for thin air. That’s when I felt the searing pain in my lower abdomen. The b***d continued to flow, and every second, I could not help but be terrified.

I had already lost Reid. I could not lose our baby…

“N—No!” I panicked.

I tried to sit upright, but my bones seemed to have suffered from the strong impact when Samarra threw me onto the gates. Even a simple movement was difficult, and I was losing my breath.

Samarra giggled. She seemed happy to see me suffer. I was like her favorite movie, and I was deeply enraged knowing that she was the reason why all the precious people in my life were gone.

First, Reid.

Now, our baby…

“Urghh!” I g*****d when I felt as if something inside my abdomen was being gripped tightly.

My tears fell rapidly while I struggled to breathe. In my head, I was praying that my baby would still hold on to me. I could handle the physical pain, but the pain caused by another loss would be too much for me. I couldn’t live with another loss anymore.

“S—Samarra, please….”

“Oh, what did I do?” she asked, playing innocent. “I only defended myself because you tried to attack me.” She then hummed and only watched me suffer in what seemed to be a fatal pain. “How does it feel that a life inside your womb is dying? I bet it’s excruciating. What a poor dog.”

“P—Please, Samarra. D—Don’t do this to my baby. I—Urghhh!!”

Samarra pulled my hair as she hummed. “You deserve to lose everything you have, Aliyah. You don’t f*****g learn. Cry all you want, but I guarantee you that it will never… ever… bring your mate and your baby… back.”

Her words shattered me into pieces. The extreme rage went through my chest, and suddenly I felt it taking over the little sanity I had. Shuddering in both terror and fury, I screamed… screamed so loudly that I could feel my throat tearing apart. I screamed my heart out as if it was the only thing I could do to release all the sadness, pain, terror, and rage that got mixed up inside my chest.

I screamed… and the next thing I knew, a great force made Samarra fly in the air and fall to the rock where I hid earlier, and she g*****d painfully.

I only stopped when my body convulsed, and then everything went black.
