Why My Mate Cries
Chapter 79

REID’S POV

Shawn 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, he slid sideward, and when he got the chance, he jumped on me to pin me on the ground.

But Klaus did not let him have the upper hand, as right before he could tear the flesh off my neck, my Beta bit him, making him convulse in a searing pain.

I stood up and sneered at him. The b***d flowed from his back as he stepped back. He howled, and seconds later, a familiar woman emerged from the thick fire smoke, sporting a furious look that I would never forget.

The rogue witch….

To say that I was angry was an understatement. My chest was engulfed by wrath as I looked at her. Suddenly, the flashback of how she attacked us back on the East Coast replayed in my mind, and it added to the fury I felt.

As expected, the witch teamed up with Shawn Harper. Her face looked psychotic as she glared at me with such disgust.

“I thought you were already dead,” she stated firmly.

“You really think you can kill an Alpha easily?”

Her jaw clenched. I could have sworn that I imagined myself tearing her head apart. This f*****g witch was the reason why everything turned into a disaster. She took Aliyah away from me, and I swore to the Moon Goddess that I would never let it slide, for she would experience hell far harder than she ever imagined.

“I can kill you if I want to,” she proudly said.

But I only smirked. I came here prepared, and this witch would serve her punishment in no time. “We’ll see.”

The fight continued. Countless attacks were made by Shawn, and I defended myself with all my might. We continued to snarl and brawl on the ground, and Klaus did his best to attack the witch in order to get her attention and carry out the plan we devised.

He basically needed to keep the witch away from Shawn, and so she wouldn’t target me with her f*****g magic. While Klaus was doing what he was expected to do, I used it to brawl with Shawn, and I successfully injured his leg, making him unable to stand properly.

“Tell me where Aliyah is, and I might show you some mercy!” I roared in his ear.

“You’ll die without seeing her. Mark my words, mutt!”

“Then I have no choice but to sentence you to death!”

I grabbed his neck with my own fangs, dragged him and pinned him down on the huge stone. I pressed him there by force, so that even though he tried to move around, he could not do so.

My fangs dug deeper into his skin until I tasted his metallic, filthy b***d in my mouth. Shawn screamed so loudly, to the extent that he got the attention of the witch… just like what I had planned.

I bit him so hard that he struggled to breathe. The witch shrieked in anger, and the next thing I knew was she was murmuring some words as she focused her attention on us… so focused that she did not see Sage coming behind her holding a stick of fire.

Before she could completely use her power, Sage stabbed her back with the wood. Her b***d splashed all over the ground as she knelt, eyes widening and mouth open with b***d coming out of it.

“Samarra!” Shawn growled.

However, I did not give him a chance to make any move. I bit him harder and tore a part of his flesh that made him scream in pain. I didn’t stop right there as I bit his other leg and cut it with my own sharp teeth. He then shifted into his human form, and it didn’t take a while for him to pass out, as I injured him severely.

“Serves you right,” I said.

On the other hand, the witch screamed in agony as the fire started to burn her face. I could only watch her as she suffered in tremendous pain.

“You ruin my plan! You ruined everything!” she cried.

I grunted. “You’re the one who started this. You took my wife away from me…”

“Even if you kill me, you won’t be happy!” She growled in despair.

I shook my head. My jaw clenched as I sneered down at her. Her face was already burning, yet she could still talk. She could still breathe and mockingly glare at me.

“You won’t be able to ruin my family.” I growled at her. “After all, you’re just a rogue.”

Tears pooled in her eyes. She screamed in sorrow, and seconds later, she sobbed as she clutched her chest.

“Her family was the reason I became a rogue! They killed my mother! They ruined my family first, and they deserve to die! No one in their bloodline should be happy… none of them deserve to live!”

She tried to stand up and cast a spell on me, but Sage was quick to knock her down again by hitting her back. The witch coughed b***d, and before she lost her consciousness, she said something.

“I purposely killed your baby. Aliyah doesn’t deserve to have a child. She’s nothing but a dog—” and then she passed out.

My eyes widening, I watched the witch slowly lose her breath while my chest felt such terror. What did she do?

The side of my eyes burned, and I could feel the hot liquid forming on them. I drew in a long breath, my body shuddering as I gritted my teeth. When I was able to process what she said, I roared my heart out.

She… She killed my child…

“Burn her,” I commanded Klaus. My voice was trembling in wrath. “Burn her into ashes!”

I growled once more. The excruciating pain inside my chest made me furious to death, and I felt like following the witch in hell to make her soul suffer! She killed my child… She hurt Aliyah!

I screamed and snarled, and as I gazed up at the sky to look at the bloody full moon, I could not help but tear up.

Why… f*****g why?

Then the air brushed against my cheek. As I breathed in, I smelled the familiar scent of a woman, which made me glance over at the far hillside behind the white house.

There I saw a familiar wolf.

It was… Aliyah.

She’s alive.

But then she turned her back and ran into the woods.

“I found her,” I announced and ran to follow my mate.
