MIRACLE POV
The next two days pass by quickly.
Cain didn’t get the time to see me, but he did shoot me a glance whenever he saw me and then he always smiled at me.
His ‘later’ really stretched too far.
But, I can’t blame him. It’s a lot hosting the mate festival.
He has a lot to do and besides, he has to keep an eye on everyone.
It’s enough for me that he shoots me a warm promising smile whenever we see each other from afar. His smile assures me that everything is real and he will eventually come to me.
It’s the last day of the mate festival today. All unmated wolves went to the run today morning for the last time and many of them found their mates.
Finding a soul’s other half is such a beautiful feeling. You feel complete when you know you have someone to stay by you
MIRACLE POVAnd that’s how the moment of happiness was cut short for me and Cain.Cain rushed out as soon as he gave me the warning to stay inside. The cry was loud in the air ‘ We are under Attack. ’Elijah has come or perhaps he sent his puppets to cause some damage.The previous calm atmosphere disappeared and everyone had rushed out, except for me and a few who can’t fight. Selvia is one of those who stayed behind, because she is pregnant.“ We will deal with this. ” She has been assuring me and herself by repeating this.I know it’s a soothing lie.She knows and I know too. Judging from the growls, howls and roars coming from outside, we both can tell shit is going down and we both are locked in here while the rest of the wolves fight.I want to see Matthew, that was my first thought when Cain left me here. I couldn’t find my brother anywhere though.T
MIRACLE POVLet Elijah see the monster he made you to be. The sinister voice whispers in my head as I find myself fighting an inner war inside me.Elijah and Olivia stare at me from across the lake, their lips curled into a mocking smirk.All of a sudden, everything around me starts to disappear and I can only see them.Before I can take a step forward, I am pushed back by Xavier who has come to stand in front of me, blocking my view.“ Alpha asked you to leave. ” He groans, holding his ground in front of me.If Cain can’t protect me, he will get someone else to do it…How could I forget this?I claw at Xavier’s shoulders trying to push him back and have a look at that Bastard Elijah.“ That bitch did this. ” I hiss, my eyes losing their focus and going blur.“ Don’t lose control. This is not the right time. ” Xavier warns, still standing in fro
MIRACLE POVIt takes everyone a while to come to terms with everything.Cain stays standing on the same spot, unable to move just like me who is holding him.Seconds turn into minutes while no one makes any move.When I realise Cain needs to do something, handle the situation and all the bodies and packs, I pull back from him. I take a step back in the water and take in a shaky breath.I still remember what Cain told me a few days ago when we were taking a bath. He said he cared about Olivia, she was his childhood friend…He wanted to protect her, he wanted her to forgive him. He had so many plans and everything just…went to shit.I don’t know how this happened and I don’t want to think either because, deep down, I know I won’t like the answer.Matthew has stopped crying in the back and I have a hunch what he must be doing. Like always, he will go silent, pretend nothing happened and he
MIRACLE POVShocked, I find myself unable to move when Cain pushes Matthew and he falls on the ground on his back.A strange emotion overcomes my heart as I stay absolutely still. It’s like I am not me and my mind is not mine when I start putting two and two together.“ They all died because of you! ” It’s a calm statement coming from Cain, but his action suggests otherwise.Cain gets on top of Matthew while I watch and then he raises his fist in the air. His fist comes down with a brutal force and connects with Matthew’s jaw.“ You took her out of there! ” Another calm statement and a hard punch on Matthew’s face.This time, I hear a crunch of bones but I still don’t move.I just listen, feeling foreign in my own body.“ You hurt Caroline. You made Caroline free her. ” Cain words finally start affecting me more than his fist hitting my brother&r
MIRACLE POVHe shakes his head when I stay silent for a long time. Getting up, he steps aside and gives me a longing look before he leaves.I watch his disappearing back, still finding myself stunned into silence.The situation just took a turn but I can’t deny the fact that Cain didn’t hurt Matthew when I asked him to stop. Does he care about me enough to place me before his own anger and misery?What does he really feel for me?This is not the right time to think about this when my brother is lying hurt beside me but I can’t help it.I can’t help but stare at Cain’s retreating back.Cain and I have changed roles, it seems. Now, I hurt him and he lets me. It’s like he takes it as his punishment and never hits back.“ Mira. ” Matthew groans, grabbing my attention.I look at him and the softness in my eyes dis
MIRACLE POV“ Never leave me. ” Cain whispers against my lips, his eyes squinted.I breath shakily, tears stopping to fall down my eyes. Cain snakes a hand around my waist and pulls me under the shower. The water hits my body and a shiver passes through it.Leaning in, he kisses me again. The softness of his lips and the patience of his actions, makes me close my eyes and lean in to kiss him back.He sucks on my bottom lip gently and pulls back before resting his forehead against mine.I was so worried, afraid that he will be angry and we both will jump down to level 1 after what happened today between us.“ I am sorry. ” I let out a breath.He pecks my lips and goes back to resting his forehead against mine.“ Today doesn’t count. Everything is messed up. ” He sighs and his hand goes to the zip of my dress.My eyes shoot open, meeting his instantly. He blinks, r
MIRACLE POVHe doesn’t try to smile at me, doesn’t try to pull any joke after this to hide the rawness of this situation.He is not trying to assure me, I realise. He will make sure that we move past this.He comes to me with a black shirt and his boxers. He is about to help me wear them but I raise my hand silently, asking him to give them to me.I grab them from him and remove my towel from around my body. Cain never takes his eyes off my body.My shaking hands don’t help me with the dressing up thing and when I fail to pull the shirt over my head, he takes it from me.“ It’s okay. ” I am about to protest, but he speaks before me.I close my mouth and he dresses me up quickly. I hate myse
MIRACLE POV“ It’s not like he didn’t deserve it. ” I mutter, unable to hold myself back.He looks up at me and smiles grimly. I shake my head at him, my palm still held close to his lips.“ But I think…he already got punished for his mistake, Cain. ” I sigh to myself, grief seeping into my heart.He understands what I am talking about. Matthew’s mate died right in front of his eyes, he couldn’t get more extreme punishment than this.I feel bad for my brother, but I hate my own Alpha for causing the deaths of all those people so I am not sure which feelings I need to act on.“ He will be okay. ” Cain comforts me and kisses my palm again.“ Will it make me a bad person if I say…I am a little relieved that Olivia is not going to be his mate and my Luna? ” I wince, staring in his silver grey orbs.Cain’s body stiffens for a
MIRACLE POVMy mind was drifting off to some weird memories, the past. There was an element of darkness swirling deep inside somewhere while I thought about my childhood, my father, my brother then everything changed in my view and I thought about the day I was thrown out of my own pack house.Lost. 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. I am strong, I had whispered this to myself many times.Then, I met Cain.He was not what I had expected, the rainbows and sunshine, the answer to all my questions, my saviour.He hurt me on great levels, but I still continued to love him. My stubborn side hated him though. But the hopef
MIRACLE POVBefore I can even blink, Cain takes his hand out of my hold and then runs ahead.A war breaks out around us. Hybrids are adamant on killing the werewolves, but we all know they are our own people so we won’t hurt them anymore.“ You will stay out of this. ” Matthew warns me before he takes off behind Cain who is aiming right for Elijah.Elijah sees Cain coming. Instead of running like he always did before, Elijah seems to want to end this today.Just like us.I do what I did the last time during the war. I make it to different hybrids and watch them freeze, before I twist their necks.This takes my focus off Cain and Matthew. I catch glimpse of them after a while and they are both fighting Elijah.Elijah is easily handling both of them. The training of centuries and the unnatural power is really helping him in this.I shake my
MIRACLE POV~A WEEK LATER…“ I don’t think it’s a great idea. ” I repeat the same thing like a broken radio.Cain turns to look at me, an annoyed look painted over his face and held into his eyes.“ Come on. Do you want to fight again? ” He groans, focusing back on the road.I give him a once over look and the previous night flashes before my eyes. We had sex until morning after arguing for two hours…I cringe at the thought and look away before we start something like this again.I look out of the window and see all the familiar roads. We are once again going back to the dark forest and it’s not making me feel any good.The first time was creepy enough in my opinion, but apparently, we have no way other than doing this.I inhale deeply and glance at Cain. “ I never thought Matthew would this. ”There is worry an
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
CAIN POVThere it is. I told her. Finally.The feel is supposed to be like ‘yaay’ but seeing her blank expressions throws me off the track of all expectations.I stare at her, my breath stuck in my throat and all she does is…acting the same way as me.“ I told this to the Secret keeper. ” I mumble, still expecting some kind of reaction.Something…My shoulders drop down a little. 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
MIRACLE POVI felt my skin peeling off. I couldn’t understand what was happening to me and why it was happening in the first place.My soul was slowly ripping itself apart from my body and I could feel it deep inside me as I bled.I was calling out to Cain, but he was not coming and the pain was not allowing me to open my eyes and find him.He was there. 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
CAIN POVI didn’t know how I was going to deal with the secret keeper. A secret I never told anyone? I couldn’t think of something like that.…And even if there is something like that, I am not going to tell something like that to the minion of God of Chaos. I can’t invite home something more horrible than Elijah.That’s why I wanted to go alone, but Miracle came along. Gratefully, she listened to me and stayed behind.I went to the forest, a creepy feeling crawling up my spine with every step I took forward.Eventually, I ended up in front of the old cottage in the dark forest. There is a thick fog surrounding everything here and it makes my vision hazy.Like the secret keeper knew I was here, she opened the cottage’s door and stepped outside.Surprise overcame my expressions. Amanda
MIRACLE POVDay turns into night and then night turns into the new day.Cain still doesn’t know what he wants to tell the secret keeper.I wish I had a secret of my own so I could tell it to the secret keeper. That way I would have been able to save Cain from this trouble.Cain have been constantly driving and we only stopped to eat something in the neutral territories.Cain didn’t sleep through the night and I couldn’t sleep either so we both just stayed awake in silence. I know we need to get this done and then we need to get back to the pack so nothing goes wrong there.“ How far is it? ” I ask, yawning.“ Ten minutes. ” He shrugs his shoulders.I turn my head toward him, a lumping forming in my throat after hearing his answer.“ You came up with something t
MIRACLE POVCain turned out to be very serious about the ‘not gonna talk to you’ threat. He didn’t even come back in the night and stayed Moon Goddess knows where.For a change, I didn’t leave to look for him. I felt too tired for it.The strange conversation I had with Amanda bothered me throughout the night and didn’t let me sleep even for a moment. Curiosity is killing me slowly.The morning came and I went down to the study room to find Cain finally, but I found Xavier instead. Cain had asked Xavier to tell me that we were leaving right away as it was 2 days drive to the dark forest from here.To my surprise, Cain and I are leaving alone. No one else is coming with us and before I could ask Xavier about it, he told me on his own that it’s best to leave alone because it will help us remain unnoticed for a long time.The fewer people, the better chance at staying undetected by any other
