CAIN POV
After a few hours, I am right in front of the Victorian style house I saw in Dorian’s memories.
It’s huge, accommodating at least Five hundred of Elijah’s puppet hybrid creatures.
I came alone after drinking the scent hiding potion. The army is hiding deep in the forest behind me, waiting for an order from me to come forward and fight.
I thought about it deeply.
What does Elijah actually wants?
He wants me to attack him with full force. He wants to prove he is better than me by defeating my Army, turning them into mindless Hybrid creatures, before he kills me and turns Miracle into one of those creatures too.
He wants me to act in a haste and destroy my own kind, but I can’t do this.
I won’t do this.
I yearn for Miracle more than I like to admit, but I can’t risk the lives of my people who trust me, just to get her back.
Instead, I can risk my own life
CAIN POV“ Don’t. PLEASE DON’T. HE IS MY BROTHER. ” Miracle screams out, grabbing my attention.I leave his neck and turn him around to make him face me.It’s…Impossible.I feel dumbfounded after I see his face. It’s really the supposedly dead future Alpha of Crescent Moon Pack.Matthew.Miracle’s older brother.He tries to attack me, but I dodge. I grab his neck and twist it enough that it snaps.He is a werewolf turned Vampire. He won’t die with the twist of the neck. He will just remain unconscious for a day.“ NO. N – NO. WHAT DID YOU DO? ” Miracle seems to have forgotten all about her own pain as she watches the Hybrid’s body hitting the ground.Guess, it’s more messed up than I originally thought.Shaking my head, I approach Miracle who is hysterically trying to crawl toward the unconscious hybrid. Sh
CAIN POVI carry her to the bathroom and sit her down on the basin counter before running a warm bath for her.She looks to be lost in a trance, her expressions sour.After preparing the bath, I come forward to pick her up when she shrinks away, sudden fear shining in her eyes.I grit my teeth and pull my arms down before stripping myself off my pants and boxers.Standing completely toward her, I step forward again. No matter how much she tries to resist, I get rid of my shirt that she is wearing.After stripping her naked, I hoist her up and land her on her feet beside the bathtub.I step inside first and sit down in the tub as she watches me with her fear filled eyes.Lifting my hand, I ask for her hand silently and understanding the gesture, she places her hand in mine.I help her in the bath. She sits down between my legs, her muscles stiff and her body shrinking.“ Miracle. ” I ca
MIRACLE POVCain came for me and brought me back with him.It’s after a week that I finally sigh in relief and let my mind rest because no matter what Cain does to me personally, he won’t let someone else hurt me.This is a strange trust I have in him but I still trust him to protect me against everyone, even if he hates me.To think about it, he is acting so caring towards me that it’s starting to scare me now.He brought me back. He looked after me. He pleasured me and now, he is holding me like he can never let go of me.This makes me suspicious of his intentions, but I am still grateful that he helped me go through the traumatic phase.He didn’t leave me alone.‘ Don’t. PLEASE DON’T. HE IS MY BROTHER. ’ My own voice echoes in my ears as I recall a memory which is more like a piece of my hallucination.“ I imagined something pathetic, Cain. ”
MIRACLE POVIs it just me or did me and Cain just jump from level one to level ten in one clean attempt?He gets up from the bed and his hand coils around my waist to pull my naked figure close to his body.His eyes stare down into mine, searching for all emotions while I do the same.“ This is…Suspicious. ” I can’t help, but forget my carnal desire for a moment and point out the fact.“ This is really suspicious. ” He nods his head, a hint of amusement present in his tone.Pursing my lips, I shake my head and place my hands on his chest before pushing him away from myself.I look at Cain’s smug face and then I turn my back to him. I start wearing my clothes while he watches me from just a step behind.My mind keeps replaying all that torturous time I had to spend with Elijah, but the reality that Cain saved me…always makes me feel protected and pulls me out of
CAIN POV “ We missed the chance. He is gone, Alpha. ” Xavier reveals as I sigh to myself. I peer at Xavier from across the table, sitting on my chair. He looks like he is regretting not doing a good job at it. “ How is your toe? Healed already? ” I ask him instead of yelling at him for doing such a poor job at keeping an eye on Elijah’s weird ass house. Sometimes, it’s necessary for an Alpha to care about his people more than the enemy or their threats. “ It’s the bone. It hasn’t healed yet but it will heal in a while, Alpha. ” Xavier replies and sits down on the chair across my table. “ I am so sorry for this but he just never made an appearance back there, Alpha. Something is not right here. He took Miracle after going to great extents, but we got her back too easily and not to mention…Elijah was not there. ” He doubts the same thing as me. How did this happen so easily? There is something we are missing – so
MIRACLE POVThere is this feeling irking me out all of a sudden. I want to do something - anything. But what? I don’t know. I think Cain knows though.“ Do you know what’s happening to me, Cain? ” I whisper against his chest, my voice coming out muffled.“ No. I don’t. ” He replies without hesitation.Deep down in my heart, everything tells me that he is lying for sure. Instead of confronting him about this or starting another fruitless argument, I decide to stay silent for my own sanity.I need to fall asleep and stay asleep for as long as I can. Perhaps, I will be alright when I wake up again. This feeling will definitely be gone.“ Take some rest. ” Before I could say anything, Cain speaks out which is surprising but not surprising at the same time.I pull back from him and crane my neck back to take a look a his face. There is a frown resting on his forehead an
MIRACLE POV“ You drank the same potion as me. These are the initial side effects. ” Cain finally reveals to me and I feel like all my doubts are clear.I had a hunch about it already. My worst nightmares turned into reality.“ The violent spree causing something potion? ” I don’t why I am asking this, but I guess I just don’t want to believe that I am going to turn into a monster.I killed him for this in my last life, because there was no cure and there was no way to stop it.What’s going to happen this time? I gulp, my eyes leaving his silver gray orbs and falling to his chest.Am I afraid? Yes. I am honestly afraid this time. Of what?Of consequences. Of my actions. Of this potion running in my blood. Of this yearning for blood. Of the end.“ Something…like that. ” He whispers, still standing by the door as if he is frozen on his spot just like me
CAIN POV ~A Little while Earlier… After Miracle leaves my office, I face Olivia who is looking around silently. “ What did I say about not coming back? ” I hiss at her, my eyes flashing red for a moment. She stops looking around and fixes me with a dead stare. Her eyes are normal in color so it’s safe to say she is not angry. “ I heard you are looking for Amanda. ” A smirk curves up her lips making me shake my head. I don’t even want to know how she knows. Selvia told her probably. Right after I got to know about Miracle’s condition, I looked for Miranda and Amanda. It’s easy to track down Miranda because she stays in my pack’s territory. I already met Miranda half an hour ago and got a potion from her to handle Miracle’s situation. The potion will weaken her abilities. She won’t be able to hurt anyone even if she wants to do it. The potion will put her wolf to sleep and as lon
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
