Why My Mate Cries
Chapter 91

REID’S POV

“What the f**k are you doing here?”

Seeing the Gamma of Silvermoon in my territory suddenly irked me. Not because he was from the enemy’s pack but because I suddenly remembered his closeness with my Luna.

With blazing eyes, I glared at him.

“Why are you with my warrior?” I asked once again and looked at Lucas who was with him.

Jaxon equaled my taunting eyes. It made my head boil for apparent reasons.

“I’m here to talk to Aliyah. Where is she?”

Oh, the goddamn arrogance of this wolf made me want to slash his throat with my claws. Yet I tried hard to calm myself knowing Aliyah would not like me hurting her friend.

“See my mate? Don’t kid me. Tell it to me instead.”

There was no way I would let him talk with Aliyah! Not when she was still mourning, and definitely not when we were not fine!

The Gamma of Silver moon, Jaxon, sighed and cocked his head. As if indicating that he had no reason to tell me what he wanted to convey to my little wolf.

“No. I only want to talk to her, not even you, her mate.”

“Shut it! How dare you talk to me with so much conviction! A mere Gamma at that!” Growling angrily at him, my jaw clenched and I could see how he did not want to back down. That made me so suspicious.

What the hell did he need from my mate? Was it so important that he did not want to open up even to me? Or was he just hitting on her even after knowing that she was already mated?

All those questions came flooded in, and I was aware that the last question was just my jealousy talking.

“My mate is still taking a rest, tell me what you need instead, Jaxon. I am the Alpha here, why so damn afraid to tell me?”

Completely losing his cool, the man inhaled sharply. “I don’t intend to do so.”

Hearing his firm refusal, it felt like he disrespected my title, and he insulted me as Aliyah’s mate. Glaring fiery at him, I howled furiously.

“Leave! I don’t intend to give you a chance to talk to her!”

Before the lowly wolf of Silver moon could open his mouth to answer me again, we heard a familiar voice coming near.

“What’s happening here?” Aliyah walked toward us and I immediately strode to her and guided her to my side but she was trying to avoid my touch.

My heart sank when she did that. I knew she was still mourning and was still angry because of what she thought of me these past few days but I could not believe her anger would come to this point.

Her glaring eyes were directed at me, making me feel the urge to become violent.

“I saw how rude you are, Reid!”

My jaw clenched repeatedly and instead of looking at her, I scowled at Jaxon instead. It was all because he appeared here all of the sudden! How damn brave of him!

/”Should we make a bloody fight?”/ asked my wolf.

I shook my head and warned him through my eyes. “No, Aliyah will kill us if we harm him.”

Still, given that, I could feel my overflowing desire to start a fight because of how my mate sided with him.

“Let’s head inside, Jaxon. I’m sorry for my husband’s behavior.”

I clicked my tongue and came after them. Never did I imagine that Aliyah would choose to side with someone else rather than me. I could feel my jealousy creeping in while looking at them walking side by side.

When we entered the living room, I was leaning on the wall while staring at them as they talked on the couch. I just hope the Moon Goddess would guide me not to be as aggressive as I wished to be because seeing them together triggered my possessiveness.

“What is it that you want to talk about, Jaxon?” Aliyah was the one who talked first.

Glancing at me for a while, Jaxon started opening his mouth. Look at this mutt, he would talk around me after all.

“Your brother, Shawn Harper died, Aliyah. Unfortunately, even though he’s an Alpha and he has capabilities for fast healing, his body cannot keep up with the b***d loss. Some of his organs are ruptured as well. That led him to death.”

Somehow, it made me fear that my mate would hate me for what I did. It was me who killed him, but that nut job of her brother deserved to die for conniving with that witch. I would never repent of that sin.

I was relieved when I saw Aliyah’s expression after hearing what Jaxon had conveyed. There was no hint of sorrow or remorse in her eyes. It felt like I was saved in a trial and she was the judge.

Knowing that she was not regretful of what happened, I felt triumphant because I knew how much I desired to hurt tenfold those who caused her harm.

“I’m sorry for your loss, Aliyah,” the man muttered seeing that my wife was silent after he disclosed the truth.

“Hmm… It’s fine, Jaxon. Thank you for coming here and telling me what truly happened.”

Nodding his head, he stared at my wife who was in deep thoughts. It made me howled in annoyance causing him to look at my side and when our eyes met, his eyebrows furrowed, and looked away.

Good, for I am the only one who could stare at her like that.

“Are you fine?”

“Yes. I’m just glad that he’s no longer living. So he will no longer harm others just like he did to me.”

I wonder what was going on inside that gorgeous head of hers. If only I knew how to somehow ease her pain, her suffering, I would do that without hesitation.

Shawn Harper was her family, and I knew it was only right to grieve his death, but never would I show shame in ending his life after what he did to my wife and our unborn child. If they would ask me, death was not enough punishment.
