CAIN POV
‘ Alpha. We are under attack. ’
I was looking for Olivia when I heard Selvia’s voice through the mindlink.
The first thing I thought about was Miracle. That Dense and Careless mate was out there. Everybody else had taken the potion which protected them from compulsion, but Miracle was defenseless in this matter.
From what I sensed, she was out there too and I never doubted that she will come in harm’s way like the idiot she is.
I rushed outside and saw the expected scene upfront. Those hybrids were swarming the place. Many pack members have already dealt with most of them.
My eyes moved around in search for the one I want to find right now. Her scent hit me from the direction of the forest and I looked there.
She was walking through everyone like a robot. Her feet were carrying her toward the forest where it will be hard to fight and get her back.
I have to get to her and bring
MIRACLE POV The moment I saw that hybrid, a memory flashed in my mind. It didn’t take me more than a moment to recognize that man as the rogue who attacked me and my brother along with 19 others. I can forget everything but I will never forget their faces. It seemed like I have forgotten the way they smelled but now I remember, vividly. They were those same odd hybrids who attacked us for no apparent reason. That man had pulled out the pendant on that day, but Matthew had asked me to not look at it. ‘ Mira. Don’t look at the pendant. ’ That’s what he had screamed at me through the mindlink. I was confused, angry, hurt. I committed a mistake. After hearing those insults thrown at me by the Oracle Amanda, I stormed out, shifted and ran away. Matthew had followed me even when I crossed our border, our safe zone. He had managed to stop me by the edge of the mountain in the forest. He tried to calm me down. I remember what
MIRACLE POV“ You won’t reject me even if I promise to not kill you? We can go our separate ways. ” Cain tempts me with the best offer ever.“ Nice try! You almost fooled me. ” I roll my eyes, another wave of pain hitting me like a tornado.“ You don’t believe me? ” Cain raises his left eyebrow dramatically.“ You want me to believe that a person who cursed me, who was born to kill me suddenly wants to spare my life? If I believe this, I will be the biggest idiot in history! ” I hiss at him, my tone sarcastic and my eyebrows pulled together in a frown.“ You are not that idiotic, I guess. ” Cain shrugs his shoulders nonchalantly, realizing that his attempt failed.“ One day. ” He speaks after a moment and I snap my head up at him.“ What? ” A lump forms in my throat, but I still choke out.“ We have only one da
MIRACLE POV“ He is coming for you, you know and I am planning to hand you over after this heat season to avoid war. ” Cain smirks at me while I stare at him, unblinking.“ You want me to believe that you are really going to do this? ” I mutter under my breath, my expressions unchanging.“ Elijah can take revenge better than me. He is going to turn you into one of those weird creatures without will and memory. Oh and also, he got your brother killed so you two can have a good time together. ” He gets up from the bed, facing me with the same smug smirk.He hit the point. He truly did this time.“ It’s not a… ” I sigh out, my voice refusing to come out. “ Joke. ”“ Why? Does it hurt you to think that three of his creatures pushed your brother down the edge and they almost took you back to their king but they had to abandon you halfway? ” He ra
MIRACLE POVIt was easier than I thought. I just had to image a wall rising in my mind to block all my thoughts from going in Cain’s head.I am glad I learned it. I should have learnt it even more earlier.Now, I can think about whatever I want without the fear that he is going to hear my mind.Sighing, I stare at the ceiling of my room in utter darkness.Cain has done something so unforgivable to me, that I don’t think I will ever be able to look at him the same way again.It was okay as long as he was hurting me but he let my brother die when he could have saved him…Raising my hand, I rub at my temples when a familiar scent whizzes past my room.Olivia.He really has to do it right now?A lump forms in my throat, a bitter taste invading my mouth.After pushing me into an abyss, he wants to get out of it by the help of Olivia. He is just using her to get over things
MIRACLE POVThere is something special about seeing someone’s memories. It’s something personal and when someone lets you in voluntarily, it’s precious.I know why he is doing this but I don’t care about the reason anymore.He grips my hand and I close my eyes, the surroundings beginning to disappear for a moment. It’s like I step out of my body and step in his.Suddenly, I am sitting on a tree by a cliff. My eyes are fixed at the sky when I hear commotion somewhere far.I snap my head in that direction and see two wolves, one of them quite identical. A white wolf with blue eyes and a brown Alpha Wolf.Mathew Cullen and Miracle far away from their territory and border.I watch them from afar, it’s clear that they are talking through their mindlink.While they are talking, my eyes notice rogues approaching from the other side of the mountain which leads down the canyon.
MIRACLE POV It’s like I am falling rapidly. Falling down and down. My heart races faster when I realize I am going to hit the ground soon and my bones are going to be smashed down, broken into pieces. Gasping for air, I wake up in the morning. I am panting. I don’t see Matthew in my dreams anymore, but I see some strange dreams. In my dream today, I was just falling without ever hitting the ground. It was like I was floating in the air waiting for the pain to come and claim me so this anxious feeling could go away. I look down at my clothes which are soaking with sweat. I feel unexplainably hot. I won’t be surprised if I have fever too even if werewolves rarely get sick. Gulping, I get up from the bed and move toward the washroom. Inside the washroom, I strip and turn on the shower. My mind is blank because I don’t want to think. I don’t want to think about anything. Heat radiates off my body ma
CAIN POV“ Everything is too calm, Alpha. ” Xavier speaks, from across the table and pushes his hair back.Today, we buried ten of our pack members. Elijah’s puppet creatures killed them when they crossed the border.And now, everything is too calm. Werewolves have a pattern when they attack each other’s packs. They attack and if they retreat, they attack again.Retreat. Attack again. Retreat. Attack again.This sequence repeats for rogues usually, but Elijah seems to have changed and turned into something else.After they retreated, instead of taking another route and coming back to attack, they have disappeared completely.This makes me feel like this fight is not going to be fair. Elijah has an advantage here. I don’t where he is, what he is thinking or what he is going to do now.I have no idea about anything.This pushes me to be on the edge all the time. Anytime now, h
MIRACLE POVHe is so weird sometimes that it makes my heart beat fast without the influence of this mate bond.I run away from his office and stop only when I am in the safety of my own room’s walls.The situation just now was so awkward. All I had to do was to tell him that it hurts and he helped me without asking questions or passing any nasty remarks.This was so strange.For a moment, I thought I saw some other emotion flickering in his eyes. Some emotion other than disgust or hate.My heart is thumping against my ribcage violently, not ready to let me breath in relief. My hand still tingles with the warmth of his own.While I am thinking all of this, a sharp pain hits my head and lower abdomen again.I think it’s going to hurt continuously on this day. I am not going to ask for his help again. I can’t keep trying my luck, hoping he will help me every time.A wave of heat hits my bo
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
