Why My Mate Cries
Chapter 96

ALIYAH’S POV

Guilt 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.

Horror registered on my face just thinking how injured he might be to be sent to the clinic. I had lost him once, I already thought he died and I would completely lose myself if he was harmed again!

How was I supposed to calm down when a panther attacked him?

I slammed the door of the clinic and I saw him sitting on the bed, with gauze around his body. I closed my eyes tightly and I felt my tears flowing because of fear of losing him.

Crying, I hugged him hastily and I felt how he chuckled and embraced me around his arms.

“My little wolf is worried, huh?” he whispered next to my ear and I felt how his breath fanned my cheek.

He gained a light smack from me but I quickly felt guilty because I might hurt him.

“You should have stayed here instead! Look at what happened! How am I… How am I supposed to live if you get hurt, Reid?” I buried my face in his neck earning a g***n from him.

His howl made me loosen my hug. When my eyes went down to his body, I realized that my tight hug pained him.

While sitting on the side of the bed, he wiped my tears and I saw a ghost of a smile on his face.

“You told me you need space so I left.”

That made me purse my lips and blinked my eyes. I did tell him that.

“I didn’t tell you to get hurt…” That was almost a whisper. Yet he still heard and laughed lowly.

“Does my Luna want me to stay now?”

With tears clouding my eyes, I nodded without hesitation. I was aware that I had missed him terribly and would never want to be apart from him once more. Not when he was in pain, and not when I was hardly able to function without him.

“I want to hear it,” he said in a commanding voice making me glare at him but he was serious.

Clenching my eyes shut, I pouted my lips a little before telling him what my heart’s true longing was. “Please stay.”

He pulled me in for another hug after hearing what I had said. Reid gave me delicate k****s on the top of my head. That made me feel how delighted he was.

Even though the wounds were severe, he was able to heal quicker than anyone else. It was for the reason that he was an alpha; even if he was wounded like that, it would only take hours for him to completely recover.

I looked up at him, my head resting on his chest, and mumbled, “Let’s go home.”

I saw desire go through his darkened eyes.

“We should really head home,” he whispered using his low baritone.

That made me shuddered. I was not mistaken when I sensed something in his voice, because as soon as we got inside and locked the door, he attacked my lips and gently pushed me against the wall. The more he intensified our k**s, his naughty tongue swirled over mine making me I gasped.

His lips went from my lips all the way down to my neck and jaw. I tilted my neck so he could have better access, and he took it with no problem. My Alpha bit, nibbled, and sucked at my skin, and I could feel it fully.

He seemed to be smirking against the skin of my neck in the midst of all that, but I wasn’t sure if I was just imagining things.

“Ah,” I m****d when I felt him palm my breast. His touch was all over my body until he reached in between my thighs and I could feel the roughness of my pants and underwear while he was putting them off my body. I helped him remove my top after that.

“Mine,” he whispered and occupied the taut bud in the peak of my breast using his mouth as he used his other hand to pleasure my womanhood.

My irises dilated when he put two fingers in and I heard all the foreign sounds coming out of my mouth. “Oh!”

He led me to our bed and I did not know how he put off his clothes, all I know was I felt so giddy, wanting more of his hot touches.

It was heated and passionate, and I did not want it to end. The pleasure was making me feel so intoxicated that I knew, I could go on with this until the next morning.

When he entered me fully with his length and thickness, I clawed his back while my eyes became playful and my legs were wrapped against his waist.

He pounded me hard and good, fast and very precise as if he knew how my body worked.

“I love you,” I whispered in the middle of our lovemaking. He stopped for a while and I saw a glimpse of his drowsy eyes, which was when I realized how his desire built up because of what I said.

It had been so long since we made love like that. After all the tragedies, the pain, and all that occurred, we found ourselves groaning in pleasure this time around.
