MIRACLE'S POV

Leaving my house, I rush to get to the cafe I work at. I am supposed to be in my high school, but I dropped out when I was kicked out of the pack.

It's hard living on your own and bearing all expenses. Besides, I need to pay Miranda some huge money to get a potion - a potion which helps concealing my aura.

As I am now a rogue without any pack, some werewolves might come to hunt me one day. They will come to hunt me and they will kill me. They won't care if I am a good rogue or a bad rogue, they are going to kill me.

The fact that I lived in the Red Moon Pack's territory never made it much easier. I have to be more careful. It's the pack which is being run by the Alpha King himself currently.

He is known to be ruthless, cruel, dangerous, deadly and so powerful that his presence can cause some werewolves to feel severe headaches.

The headaches mostly happen when he is trying to instill the fear of his power in other werewolves. His projection of powerful aura can kill a werewolf if he intends to kill.

He hurts when he wants to hurt.

The Red Moon pack has the most members out of all werewolf packs in the world. A number of 1000. A whole town.

And it is known that ninety percent of them are fierce warriors, trained to kill mercilessly.

And ofcourse, he hates Rogues, Vampires and all other creatures. He hates other packs too but as he is the king of the werewolf council, no one can object in front of him and he has to bear with those other packs to maintain peace throughout the community.

The thought of ever seeing him, makes me shiver some times but I don't have to worry.

Miranda - the witch I know gives me a potion that keeps my already weak aura concealed from all werewolves and other creatures.

But she takes a hefty amount in return for only the potion for ten days.

That's the reason I have to work, work and work to keep myself alive, just until I find my mate.

I could go to the rogues if I wanted but the thing is...

Even the rogues don't want a pesky werewolf without any wolf. I am no use to anyone, but I am an easy target and werewolves are going to love tearing me limb to limb, so they can get rid of someone who is spoiling their reputation among other creatures.

And I live in Red Moon's territory because I only have to protect myself from the members of Red Moon pack here. No other pack wolf or creature ever comes here.

It's easy Peasy.

But only until I get caught some day. The pack members of Red Moon pack are going to skin me alive and then they are going to make a door mat out of me if they catch me - a useless rogue without a wolf.

...Barbaric much, but that's how they are.

And how I know about all of this? It's because of something funny.

I work at Red Moon Cafe. The place is owned by the mate of Red Moon's Beta.

She is good but only to me, because she thinks of me as a human.

I got a job here because many werewolves come here every day. It will be easy to find my mate once I turn eighteen if I stay close to werewolf community somehow.

And also, staying so close to them never makes them suspicious. They never keep an eye on me because they see me every single day.

They also talk about stuff - the werewolf stuff. They talk about it among themselves sitting at the far corner of the cafe.

They measure the distance so small because they think of me as human and they doubt I will be able to hear their hushed secret talks from so far away.

But I can hear them clearly. I can hear them so well that it's sometimes hard to not shiver hearing their brutal talks.

Skin him alive. Rip him from limb to limb. The Alpha King killed him today. He ripped the head off a rogue. He killed two pack members for disobeying him in the same week. He changed girls again. He decided to raid a pack and killed every single member there. He did this, he did that, now he is going to do this...Blah Blah.

...They often talk about such things. Disgusting things.

And they also discuss about a girl Alpha King is searching for...His mate to be precise. He wants revenge on that girl. For what? They never say because even they don't know.

They just know that their Luna is already decided upon.

She is Olivia. I have seen her around. She is a girl with long black hair, green fierce eyes and perfect face with a body everyone wanted.

She is going to be the Luna and Alpha King's mate is going to be killed once she is found.

That's brutal.

Why does Alpha King wants to kill his mate when he can just mark Olivia and reject his mate once he comes across her? I don't understand it.

If he kills his mate, it will weaken him and he will not be the strong wolf he is right now.

Most of the times, I feel bad for the girl who is his mate. She will suffer alot and then she will die on the hands of her own mate.

This death will be more heartbreaking than anything I have ever witnessed in the werewolf world.

I hope Alpha King never finds her and eventually marks Olivia as his Luna. A win-win situation for everyone.

Shaking my head, I make my way inside the cafe to find Olivia and Selvia sitting on the far right corner of the cafe.

Selvia is the owner. The Beta's mate. Olivia and Selvia are good friends, but their personalities are completely different.

Selvia is soft spoken and easy going, while Olivia is arrogant and headstrong.

If I was Olivia, I too might be so arrogant considering the fact that the Alpha King chose her over his destined mate.

What about Olivia's mate then? I wonder.

Olivia doesn't want her mate either?

What's so special about Alpha King which makes her want to give up her mate?

Power. Unimaginable power. The answer was clear.

“ Hey Miracle! ” Selvia shouts from her spot and my lips curl up to form a smile.

I don't know why I always think about them so much. They can do whatever they want. It's not like my life is ever going to be entangled with their's.

I am going to find my mate and then he will take me away from here. We will find all answers and we will be happy.

We will get rid of this stupid curse somehow if I am really cursed.

“ Good Morning Selvia! ” I greet her with a smile. She insists I call her Selvia even if she is my boss and older than me. She is twenty two.

The excitement was back. I am turning eighteen tonight at twelve and I know I will find him soon. I have this hunch that I will find him sooner than I hope.

Call it my mate instinct but I can feel his presence near me.

“ You are early hun! ” She reminds me as my eyes move to the clock.

I am really early. My shift starts in one hour.

“ I should grab breakfast then. ” I joke turning my eyes back to Selvia who is still smiling at me.

Oh...I like this woman but I won't like her once she knows I am a rogue. She won't like me either.

I can imagine Olivia holding me down by my shoulders as Selvia rips my head off my shoulders slowly and painfully. Shivers run down my spine once again thinking about this.

“ Are you cold? ” Olivia sneers, her eyes screaming at me that she hates how weak humans are.

“ Yes. It's too cold today. ” Rubbing my hands, I lie without any hesitation.

Lies and secrets help me stay alive. I don't like it but what choice do I have? I like my head very much and I love my limbs intact.

Snapping out of my thoughts, I focus on Olivia and find her already staring at me. There is something in her eyes. I don't know what but it makes me uncomfortable.

“ Go grab some breakfast in the kitchen Miracle. I will see you later. ” Selvia orders me after noticing how uncomfortable I am getting with Olivia's deadly stares.

“ Thanks Selvia. ” I nod and turn around to escape from here.

As I stroll towards the kitchen, I hear Selvia saying to Olivia. “ Stop it Olivia. She is just a human. You scare her with these creepy stares. ”

“ I am telling you there is something off about this girl. I tried to compel her just now but it didn't work. ” Olivia hisses at Selvia and my eyes go saucer wide.

Shit!

I forgot to mention that Olivia is a hybrid right?

Her father is a vampire - the strongest out there and her mother is a werewolf.

I never thought she will try to compel me. Shit! I fucked up.

“ You couldn't compel her? ” There is surprise clear in Selvia's voice as she asks Olivia.

I can imagine their expressions right now and this is making me dizzy.

“ Maybe she just has a strong grip on her mind. You know it's also possible. ” Selvia suggests in a low tone.

A sighs escapes my lips at her explanation. Thank Moon Goddess. Atleast Selvia is not buying whatever Olivia is trying to imply.

“ A strong mindset? Seriously? Her heart is still beating faster than usual. It's picking speed just as I talk to you. It's like she is hearing what we are talking about. ” Olivia sneers and I curse at myself.

Shit! I fucked up for the second time.

How am I supposed to make my heart beat slow down when I am shit scared?!

Placing my hand over the kitchen sink's sides, I hear them talking further.

“ What are you implying? ” Selvia inquires, her tone changing. She is taking Olivia serious now.

“ I think she is a rogue hiding her scent with some witch's potion. ” Olivia declares and I end up grinning.

Like seriously? She had to come up to this conclusion today?

I worked in this cafe for a whole year but Olivia never suspected anything. No werewolf did.

Even the Beta of Red Moon pack - Xavier never suspected me but now this Hybrid girl has started suspecting me.

Olivia is sure smart but her brain began working at the very wrong time.

Or perhaps, my curse is working up again. I am supposed to be always in despair.

Happiness. Peace. Love. Harmony.

All these are not for me as the oracle has stated when she came to our pack.

“ Let's test your stupid theory then. ” Selvia groans out, irritation clear in her voice.

Maybe, she is sure that I am not a werewolf or maybe she too is suspecting me and wants to know if I am really a werewolf.

My ears perk up as I wonder what they are going to do to me to know if I am a werewolf or not.

“ But How? Suggest something. ” Selvia sighs, not knowing how to do it.

But the words Olivia utters next make me want to run away from here.

“ Let's give her some wolfsbane. ”

Why would Olivia automatically assume the she is a rogue hiding her scent with a witches potion, and why automatically suggest wolfsbane? Wolfsbane is toxic for both werewolves and humans, so either way she would be hurting her. Also her throwing up now shouldn’t have brought the potion back out.

    MIRACLE'S POV As I sit on the chair opposite Olivia with her eyes fixed at me, I know what I am going to do. Earlier, Selvia came to call me out and she asked me to have coffee with Olivia and her. Regretfully, I agreed. I had to. If I had ran away, Olivia and Selvia were going to be sure that I am a werewolf and before I knew it, all the members of the Red Moon pack would have been hot on my tail, to find me and then kill me. I can't even take on Selvia, let alone a whole pack of Merciless killers. That's why even after knowing what's going to happen, I still stayed. I have to stay to get rid of their doubts. But, all of this doesn't help in easing my anxiety. No werewolf ever wanted to be anywhere near wolfsbane. And drinking it? That is gruesome. It will cause me a burn so strong that I will be twisting in pain in the blink of an eye. I will feel my own organs burning inside me and it will be

Howling in pain, he doubles over and drops me on the ground. Not wasting any time, I grab his neck and twist it harshly. His body drops down on the ground, hitting it hard, his neck still twisted at a weird angle. He is not dead. I don't need to worry about that. He just fell unconscious for a while - a day to be precise. King? Who was he talking about? I wonder but push past him to go back in the cafe. I have caused some serious trouble. Sighing, I stop by the door and look back at the body. I was weak. Emphasize on that WAS. I acted weak when I had the power to defeat everyone else. I showed them mercy when I was powerful, but now... It was merely for survival and when you are in that survival mode, you find all those weaknesses disappearing one

All my focus shifts to my supposedly dead-wolf from my most awaited Mate. “ Gia? ” I speak in my mind, hoping desperately to hear her voice again. What if it's my imagination and Gia is really not here? The thought makes me sad and I look back up at my mate. His silver gray eyes are staring me down intensely. An aura of power is radiating off him. I don't understand the emotion in his eyes at all. Why is he not coming to me? Why is he not making any move? I stumble forward as confusion takes over me. He sets his lips in a thin line and before I can take even a step more closer to him, Gia screams in my head once again. “ RUN! ” This time the intensity of her scream in my head makes me nauseous. All my senses heighten as I look around and I realize it was real

    CAIN'S POV I shift back to my human form and observe her. She lays in front of me now... Unconscious. Naked. Vulnerable. Defenseless. Hurt. Cold. Do I care? No. I don't. I had been there. I had laid just like her as I watched her with my broken eyes. And it was something, I am never going to forget. I hurted her deliberately. The expressions of pain on her wolf's face were worth watching and enjoying. A wave of sick twisted satisfaction hit my body as the sound of her bones breaking echoed in the silent forest. After I made her submit to me by using my Alpha aura, I enjoyed seeing the hurt look in her eyes. But this made me hundred percent sure of one thing now... She doesn't remember anything. My Mate is clueless about why she is cursed and the reason behind my undying hate for her, but she knows I am going to kill her, because this little thing worked in the Red Moon Cafe for over a year now.

    MIRACLE'S POV “ Matthew! ” I call out to him as I walk behind him in the thick forest. His golden brown hair sway as breeze softly hits his body. Turning around, he throws me the same radiant smile and I sigh out softly. Seeing him from so close has always been a pleasure for me. Atleast, I am able to see him in my dreams. It's supposed to be a nightmare, but it's not, just because Matthew - My brother is here. “ Come on Mira. We can't give up now. ” He urges me to keep walking. I remember this moment. It was the time our father used to send us to a long walk through the forest after training and I always complained that I was tired and I just wanted to sit. But now... I just want to keep walking behind him. Just how fast the time - good time, passed. Is it weird that I am conscious of the fact that I dreaming right now? I think it is, but who cares anyway. Eventually, the same

She protected me when those badass wolves wanted to assert their power on me, thinking of me as a mere human. Werewolves don't usually help humans, but she did.Sighing, I step forth and shake my head. She is angry at me. I can smell her anger. I can feel it in my bones. I betrayed her. That's what she is thinking, I am sure of it. Her blue eyes are often changing colors, her wolf threatening to come out and attack me for this betrayal. “ So...Olivia was right! ” Selvia sneers and I flinch at her hard tone. Well. She seems more angry than I anticipated, but the thing is... I am going to die in a while and I don't have any reason to explain myself. Not that Selvia can actually understand me even if I do reason out with her. No one can really underst

I wonder, as I dig my claws deeper into her flesh. Her blood trickles down my claws and then I feel it...The excruciating pain in my heart. It's like someone is stabbing me repeatedly with a silver dagger when I try to take her heart out and it dawns upon me. The voices I have been hearing in my head, the pain I have been feeling, all the emotions that were not mine... It was all her. All along. She was my mate, but she was already marked. How was this possible when I never marked her? To find out if it’s really my mark or not, I hurt her some more and a smirk pulls up at her lips, making me frown. She knows what's happening to me.

She is too weak. ” An unfamiliar voice was informing someone. Trying to take in their scents, I recognize one of them as the Beta - Xavier. “ You need to come with me. ” His tone is neutral as he addresses me and I am forced to open my eyes once again. My eyes roam around for a moment before I fix them at Xavier who is standing on my left side. He looks serious. So...The Alpha King didn't find it in himself to k

Alone. Miserable. That’s what I had become, but then, I refused to let this life hit me hard and throw me off my feet.I will help myself, I will not give up…That’s what I had thought and I had made it through everything all alone.

    MIRACLE POVHow can I be so oblivious to this? I often wondered what Cain felt for me, but the thought that he loved me had never crossed my mind…Perhaps, I was too insecure to realise he loved me and all his actions were his display of love for me.I don’t know where to fit this newfound wholesome feeling now. He loves me and I am not stuck in a never ending cycle of one-sided love anymore.Consider me impatient or maybe selfish, but I want him to mark me and mate with me right now and right here just so nothing can ever separate us again. I am afraid of time, love and circumstances…and I desperately need the stability now.“ Do you want to mark me? ” I breath the question against his lips, my eyes filled with hope.Cain goes still, his eyes fixed at me, equally unmoving. His chest is not even moving up and down which means he is holding his breath back.Say yes. I plead through my eyes while

Anything at least? I squint my eyes, observing her dumb face.Her eyes are wide open, round and unblinking. Her kissable beautiful pink lips are a little parted as she inhales and exhales softly.Okay. Now what? I wonder as I raise my hand to her cheek, wanting to bring her down to this world.It’s not supposed to be such a shock right? I told her I cared about her a lot of times.“ Miracle…” I whisper her sweet name, my fingers landing on her soft cheek.Sudde

Near me. I could sense him, but I could not see him or hear him at all.The constant ringing in my ears was growing louder and louder by the moment while blood began to coat my body as a new skin.I never felt this kind of unbearable pain before. Not even when Elijah tortured me. It was like I wanted to die so I could free myself from this misery.Then, I just lost my consciousness and everything went black. It was a relief that I didn’t have to endure such a horrible agony for much longer.******This always happens to me and it’s even getting normal n
