Why My Mate Cries
Chapter 21

ALIYAH’S POV

“L—Luna Aliyah…” Katya quickly stood up. Her eyes blinked twice. “I—I’m fine, Luna. I was just struggling a bit.”

“You can call me Aliyah. I am not Reid’s Luna yet,” I said shyly, and looked down at her hands that were holding the piece of cloth. As I looked at it longer, I realized it was a top with a damaged hem. “I know how to knit clothes. If you want, I can help you.”

“Really Lu—I mean, Aliyah?” Katya’s eyes sparkled with delight.

I nodded happily. My shyness quickly vanished, perhaps because Katya seemed to be a good person. We both sat on the couch and she showed me the damage on the top she was holding. I noticed some wounds on her fingers, probably because she accidentally pricked herself with a needle a lot of times.

“May I know how you learned to knit?” Katya asked curiously.

“I was forced to learn…” I said, recalling a lot of instances when I had to knit my own clothes because my father couldn’t replace the will to buy me proper clothes.

Katya nodded. When I looked at her, it seemed like she wanted to know more about me and my past, but decided not to force it. I then taught her how to properly knit with a right stroke of a hand. After a while, we were able to fix the damage to her top’s hem, which made her shriek in glee.

“Goodness, thank you so much, Aliyah!” she said, feeling giddy as she looked down at her top, then her eyes gazed at me. “I like you so much for our Alpha. I can’t wait for the proclamation, so you will become our official Luna, Aliyah.”

Her words reached the soft spot in my core. I couldn’t suppress my smile. Positive words really hit differently… it was motivating. Too bad I never heard it from the people who were supposed to tell me that.

“Anytime, Katya.” I tapped her shoulder. “So, I will go upstairs now. Alpha must be waiting for me.”

She stared at me playfully. “I’m glad you’re making our Alpha happy. He wasn’t even smiling before you came. Thank you…”

I thought the mate bond pull would not get any worse, until I experienced an intense desire rising through my body the next morning. It all started when I woke up and saw Reid coming out of the bathroom with just a piece of towel covering his lower body.

The view made me feel the need. I hadn’t seen Reid bare before, and now that he was practically walking around half-naked, it made me want to throw myself at him and devour him.

Admittedly, he had a perfectly sculpted body. His chest, even his muscles, were so firm that I envisioned myself licking them… and that dark thought made me gasp.

My wolf cried inside of me like a crazy kid, wanting me to do something as the heat engulfed my body immediately.

“I can smell something in you,” he said as he walked towards the bed where I was sitting.

“What?” I replied, completely out of breath, and bit my lower l*p as I looked into his eyes.

“L**t…” he growled a bit as he stared down at me.

His hair was damp, which added to his perfection. My entire body shook when he slowly crawled to the bed, and slid his hand behind my neck.

“I haven’t marked you. That is why you’re going through countless heat,” he said, and I felt his fingers tangling in my hair.

“W—Well, what should we do with it?” I asked. My heart raced while we stared at each other.

My eyes dropped to his soft red lips. It was wet and looked very tempting.

“I can take care of it, Aliyah,” he said, his lips curled into a smile before he leaned over and claimed my thirsty lips.

I needed him.

With that thought, I kissed him back and as roughly as I could. I pressed my body against his, putting both of my arms around his neck. Reid’s lips became violent, parting mine so his tongue could enter, which I willingly welcomed. He growled against my lips and kept kissing me hard. That made me m**n loudly.

His hand traveled through every part of my body, and in that moment, I knew he wanted me too.

“R—Reid, I want you…” I whispered, breathless.

He bit my lower l*p, and after a second, I could taste the metallic b***d on it. I slowly lay down on the bed, not breaking our k**s. Reid went on top of me, cupped my face, and this time his lips went down to k**s my jaw… my neck, and sucked my skin there.

His hand went to my h**s… then it touched my leg, and wrapped it around him, making my thigh press on his big e******n.

“Tell me. What do you want?” he asked, and slowly thrusts, letting me feel his s*x.

“Y—You…” I m****d. “Only you…”

“You’re so f*****g hot, mate,” he said.

He went down to my breast area, tore my top apart, and sucked one of my breasts. My back arched at what he was doing, and all I could do was m**n at the strong sensation that was eating me deeply.

His lips went down, kissing my tummy all the way to my navel… and I was waiting for him to go down even further. However, a loud knock on the door interrupted us, making me push him in a panic.

I immediately pulled the duvet and covered myself. When I turned to Reid, I was shocked to see his eyes turning from their usual blue color to crimson red. His jaw was clenched as he glanced at the closed door.

“What the f**k do you want this early, Klaus?” He growled.

“The elderly have some problems, Reid. We need you,” Klaus answered from the other side of the door.

Reid cursed under his breath. He then turned to me, and winced.

“I’ll go down in ten minutes. Leave,” he told Klaus, and I was sure he just used his Alpha command to make his Beta leave us alone.

I could have sworn I felt an instant panic at that very moment, but it all went away when I heard Klaus leaving. He couldn’t refuse the Alpha command after all.

“You have to help them,” I whispered as I looked at him. I couldn’t hide the disappointment in my voice, thinking he already needed to leave me here so early.

“I can sense your dismay,” he said.

“It’s nothing, Reid.”

“Your eyes don’t lie.” His voice was rough.

He leaned down to k**s me again, and the sensation started rising again through me like a wildfire. He wrapped his hands around my waist, and in one swift move, he sat up and carried me, wrapping my legs on his h**s.

Tucking the strands of my hair behind my ear, he went on to lick my lower l*p, and I m****d in deep pleasure at how he made me feel.

Reid was so aroused that his s*x poked my behind, and it sent thousands of shivers down my spine.

“Reid, you have to…” I m****d when I felt his hand squeezing my butt. “… go down.”

“Hmm, they can wait.” He breathed in my mouth.

“This feels good,” I tried to say, breathless.

I didn’t know how long we were kissing and touching each other, but I was so sure it exceeded the ten minutes he said to Klaus.

My mind became clouded when I felt his hand in between my thighs. The next thing I knew, my pupils dilated as he rubbed his fingers against my groin.

And it felt so great that I ended up moaning his name…
