“Who are they?” Esmeralda’s voice had a stern, angry edge as her eyes glowed green once again. I looked at her, confused at her sudden anger, alarmed. I knew then and there, something was terribly wrong.
“What’s wrong?” I asked, almost instantly.
“Who are they?” She asked again.
“They are Miracle’s family.” I replied. Her body visibly relaxed as her eyes returned to their normal colour. She frowned, looking at them, still not saying anything as she observed them.
“Can someone tell me what is happening?” My attention snapped to Miracle’s father, John. He looked older than his age, but something was off about them. My senses were on high alert. I sniffed the air, and almost immediately, a growl left my lips. Why the hell did they smell like rogues?
“Toby?” I turned to look at my Beta. He knew what I wanted to know without even asking the question. He sighed, and I hated that I had tired him out. I made a mental note to give h

Miracle I could hear voices in the distance, but they seemed to be far away. My eyes felt heavy, like I have been sleeping for years, yet I felt exhausted. I tried to focus on the murmuring voices, but failed to make sense of anything. I wanted to open my eyes, but I couldn’t move my eyelids. I tried to force my eyes open, but I failed no matter how hard I tried. I sighed tiredly before forcing myself to open my eyes. After what seemed like forever, I could finally open my eyes, only to find myself surrounded by darkness. I blinked my eyes, trying to adjust my sight to the darkness. Slowly, my vision got used to the darkness, and I desperately tried to look around to find out where I was. I sat on the ground, trying to hear the voices from earlier. But all I got was silence. There were no more whispering voices that I had woken up to. I was confused. I didn’t know or understood what was happening anymore. Mia was silent when I called
Miracle “Are you sure about that?” I jumped at the sweet voice that filled my ears and I turned to see who was intruding on my peace with Mia. In front of me stood a beautiful woman. I have seen no one as beautiful as her. She was a tall woman with a milky white skin. Her platinum blonde hair flew around her as she looked at me with a sweet, gentle smile on her face that enhanced her unique violet coloured eyes. “Are you sure you don’t want to talk about your mate?” The sound of her voice broke my trance, and I blinked my eyes, trying to focus. If I was really in heaven, then she must be an angel. “Yes, I don’t want to talk about him.” I mumbled, but I was sure she heard me. She walked towards me and patted my head, looking at me with the same smile on her face. “You don’t mean that, child.” She said, and I scoffed at her in response. It was creepy enough that she was listening in on our conversation, and now she wants to get
MiracleThe feel of my skin getting burned jolted me awake. I whimpered as I felt the silver cuffs burn my wrists and ankles. I weakly looked around to see my sister Malia looking down at me with a smile on her face. The familiar feeling of fear took over me when I saw the sickly sweet smile on her lips.“Please Malia, not today. I don’t feel good.” I cried, begging my sister to leave me alone.“What are you pretending for, Miracle?” She asked, rolling her eyes at me.“You know we can’t miss the full moon after your birthday. In fact, this one is special because you’re turning 18 on a full moon night.” She exclaimed, clapping her hands in excitement.I didn’t even realize it was a full moon today. I especially didn’t expect to wake up like this on my 18th birthday. I was hoping for a peaceful day, and probably to find my mate.“Please, just let it go thi
MiracleToday is like any normal day. I had thought my 18th birthday would be different. I was a fool to even think today would be any different. It has been years, and the only reason they remembered my birthday was because they had to make Malia stronger by stealing away my powers as soon as I turned 18.“What the fuck are you doing?” I heard Malia’s angry voice from the kitchen door.“I am cleaning the dishes,” I replied weakly. I could barely move my limbs after the ritual yesterday. I felt dizzy because I haven’t eaten in two days.“What about my breakfast?” She questioned. I turned to look at her, confused.“I served breakfast alre—-” I started, only to get interrupted by her angry voice.“You served me sandwiches. Do you not know how much I hate them?” She had a crazed look in her eyes. I knew she was angry, but I was afraid of how she was l
ChristopherLife has been unfair to me. It has separated me from everyone who was dear to me. I lost my parents, my brother, and my mate. It seems like I am cursed. I looked at the picture in my hand. My beautiful mate wrapped in my arms, smiling at me, looking as gorgeous as ever. It was supposed to be the beginning of our new life together, but it turned out to be a nightmare instead.No matter how hard I tried, I could never forget that day. The day I lost almost every one of my family. I closed my eyes as a tear slipped past my eyes. My heart contracted painfully in my chest. It has been years, but the memory is still fresh in my head.“Chris, we have to—-” My sister Brenna barged into my room, stopping mid-sentence when she noticed the picture in my hand.“Don’t you knock?” I asked in an annoyed tone.“Why do I have to knock?” She asked, shrugging her shoulders as she walked furt
MiracleIt was time for the mating ball; I tried to keep myself calm and not think much about it. I grabbed the blush pink dress my mother had brought me for the mating ball. It was rare for me to get new clothes, and it surprised me she got me one. Then I found out that there were Alphas from neighboring packs visiting, and I realized it was just to keep face in front of the guests.I sighed as I got a hold of the makeup Malia had given me to cover up my bruises. I didn’t even know much about using it, but I knew I had to make sure my bruises and wounds are hidden if I wanted to have some peace this evening. I got to work applying the makeup on my face and neck. I did pretty well in hiding them. The only bruises I wasn’t able to hide were the nasty burn in my hands.‘You should let everyone see your bruises. It will at least save us from here.’ Mia said, I could feel her anger and hate towards our family.‘Y
MiracleAs soon as I entered the garden, I bumped into a wall. I was confused because I didn’t remember the garden having a wall before. It was an open space. I looked up to find a pair of cold blue eyes staring at me. This man that I bumped into had a pair of mesmerizing eyes that pulled me in their depths.He had a powerful aura surrounding him. I think he might be one of the guest alphas. The thought made my eyes widen in fear. I immediately took a step back, scared I would do something to offend our guests. He looked at me with what looked like confusion in his eyes?“I am sorry Alpha, I wasn’t looking where I was going,” I murmured, bowing my head in respect.“It’s alright, just be careful next time. It’s not good to be clumsy, you can hurt yourself.” He replied in his deep, crisp voice, making a shiver run down my spine. Did he really have to be so rude? I did say I was sorry, right? I thought, mentall
Miracle I woke up in a dark room. I blinked my eyes a couple of times to adjust to the darkness. I looked around to find myself in the room they gave me to sleep in the packhouse. I feel confused trying to recall what happened, and why I feel like a truck ran over my body. I mean, I know I was beaten and bruised, but at the moment, I felt worse than I have. I tried to get up in a sitting position on the bed, but I couldn’t move. I hissed in pain but will myself to move. Groaning, I sit up on the bed and as soon as I did the lights turned on making me close my eyes at the sudden brightness. “You finally decided to wake up?” I heard my father’s angry voice and my head in his direction in fear. “I—” I start, but stop short of words. I don’t know what to say. I didn’t even know what I did to get into trouble this time. I looked up to see both my parents glaring down at me. I try to recall what happened, but I can’t seem to remember anything. The o

Christopher “I wasn’t talking about that ritual and spell. Someone cast another spell on her, and it was from years ago.” Esmeralda’s words shocked everyone in the room. What the hell is going on with Miracle? How much has she suffered over the years? “What do you mean?” I growled. She glared at me, rolling her eyes at my obvious anger. I was getting anxious with each passing second, and didn’t like the uneasy feeling. “Stop growling at me. You might be an Alpha, but I am not one of your pack members to bow down to you. I am only answerable to the council. I am here to help you, and you need to show me respect. If you can’t respect me just because you hate my kind, then I will take my leave.” Her eyes glowed a bright green as she spoke to me in a stern voice. “I might be a witch, but I am not one of them.” She spoke in an angry tone. I decided it was best for me to shut up. I didn't mean to growl at her. I was just upset with the fact that Miracle had
Christopher I have been waiting for what looks like hours, and there is no sign of any elder arriving with the healer. I was getting impatient. We did not have so much time to waste waiting for them. They knew how critical Miracle was, yet they were not taking things seriously. My mind kept playing the events of the day I found out Miracle was my second chance mate. The doctor's words echoed in my head. I wonder if everything that happened on that day was somehow related to what the doctor found out, but I wouldn’t know until the fucking healer arrives. ‘You are going to have to kill the healer for keeping us waiting.’ Trent growled in my head and I sighed audibly. ‘Don’t be reckless Trent, we need the healer to check and treat Miracle.’ I replied, trying to calm him down. ‘Trent, we don’t want Miracle to suffer anymore than what she has already been through. You need to stay calm.’ It was important for us to leave our Alpha ego aside and think calmly
Christopher I felt relieved when the doctor informed me that my blood helped them keep Miracle stable. However, it didn’t help her much with the healing process. It has been over a day and there is no sign of her waking up. The pack doctor ran a lot of tests to check what was happening with her. So far, he hasn’t been able to figure anything out. We are waiting for the latest test results, and the doctor said we might need to call for a healer. I had requested the council members to bring a healer. They were the only ones who could bring in a healer we could trust. Considering this was my mate, and Luna, the council was quick to accept my request. We were waiting for them to arrive. We are expecting their arrival today, but what has me worried is there was no update from Toby. I haven’t heard from him ever since he left yesterday. I was wondering what could possibly take him so long to just get Miracle’s family. Did they refuse to return with Toby? Th
Christopher I ran as fast as I could to get Miracle to the hospital. The more her pulse slowed, the faster I ran. I felt like I was losing her, and I was the one to blame. Maybe if I would have handled this situation well, then she would have been safe and sound at home. I was far away from the pack, and it took me a very long time to reach the pack hospital. The medical staff rushed to help me get Miracle in. The pack doctor barked orders and nurses scrambled around. Toby and Breena were both at the hospital waiting for me. “Alpha, this way,” the doctor said as he guided me down the hallway towards one of the VIP rooms. I didn’t wait for him to say anything else, and took her inside the first vacant room I found. She was barely breathing, and her bleeding hadn't stopped. It increased my worries as I gently placed her on the hospital bed. “Why is she not healing?” I asked in a panicked voice. I didn’t care about anything at the moment. I just
Christopher Toby was waiting for me when I reached the front door. He had already gathered our best warriors and trackers. I was glad to have him work rationally at the moment because my mind was a mess, and I don’t think I could do anything on my own at the moment. Trent was ready to go on a killing spree if we didn't find Miracle and it did nothing to ease my worry. “Alpha, we are waiting for your orders,” Toby said as he bowed his head respectfully. “She is gone. We have to find her.” I mumbled. I don’t know if I was making any sense. My brain was frozen, and it refused to think about anything other than finding her. “What? Who do we have t—” Toby stopped mid-sentence the moment he realized my words. He gasped in shock and surprise, but he was quick to mask it with a blank expression on his face. “Our Luna is missing. We have to find her.” He ordered, and I was grateful that he took over from here. “Beta Toby. We do not know Luna's
Christopher I have been restless the whole night. Trent demanded we go and check on Miracle, but I refused. He has been a pain to deal with ever since my last interaction with her. Making sure that I did not have a second of peace by continuously growling, howling, and whimpering in my head. I couldn’t help but recall the few interactions we had in the last few hours. When she agreed to come home with me, her words warmed my heart, and I hated the effect the mate bond had on me. From the conversation during our ride home, I determined she was very kind and forgiving. I was sure she would be the Luna my pack deserves. The only problem was, I didn’t want her as my mate, but sadly, I couldn’t reject her either. I don’t think Trent and I will be able to go through the pain of losing our mate again. It didn’t matter if it was through rejection or through death. I know it was wrong of me to only bring her home because I couldn’t reject or leave her to death
