CAIN POV
“ You are not supposed to be so reluctant as our leader. We want a war Alpha King. We need to get rid of that monster somehow. ” Alpha John hisses from his spot while I stare at the table’s surface silently.
I am sitting in a werewolf council meeting right now. The Alphas of all packs are sitting around the long square table while I sit on the head chair.
They have been going on and on about a war for over an hour now. It’s getting on my nerves.
“ Your own mate rejected you in front of everyone, Alpha King. How are we supposed to trust you when your own mate didn’t trust you? ” It’s Alpha Baldwin of Greenfield pack who mocks me and I think it’s the end of my patience.
I look up from the table’s surface and fix him a glare which shuts everyone up.
“ You all forgot the basics, I guess. I am the leader here. If I am listening to all of you for a while no
MIRACLE POV~ONE WEEK LATER…It’s been a long week.Loneliness. Regret. Fear of losing control. Everything haunted me for the past days. Every day felt like a year and it seems like seven years have passed since I last did something productive or talked to someone properly. The breakfast a week ago was the last time I ever came across Lord Rickard or Olivia. They were in the same house but I refused to leave my room for such awkward interactions. We are all here tolerating each other for reasons of our own so I don’t think I should push my luck or make them reach the limit of their patience.I stare at the endless forest through the window in my room. A sigh escapes my lips as I turn around and almost jump up in shock seeing Olivia sitting on my bed.“ It’s time to go. ” She gives me a pointed look and announces.I
MIRACLE POVOlivia takes me to the Crescent Moon Pack and to my surprise, no pack member attacks me even when I walk by them. They do talk about me but no one actually comes onto me.I wonder why they are not saying or doing anything to me but I guess…it’s a good thing.“ Mira! ” Matthew calls out to me and I lift my head.He is standing at some distance. After seeing him, a smile lights up my lips and I find myself unconsciously running to him without caring about all the glances my former pack members are giving me.He smiles back as he watches me running toward him.“ Slow down before you face-plant yourself. ” He jokes when I near him, forgetting all about Olivia who is somewhere behind.I jump at Matthew, engulfing him in a hug. It’s good to see him again when I thought I had lost the privilege already.“ I mi
MIRACLE POVAfter Matthew leaves the room I decide to do what I haven’t done in a few days. I fall asleep, relieved that I am now safe and I don’t need to stay on guard to protect myself.I wake up again when someone shakes my arm and calls my name repeatedly. I blink my eyes open forcefully and look at the familiar face peering down at me.Sara. She was the Gamma’s daughter and my friend when I used to be a part of the pack but when I was thrown out, she didn’t even bat an eyelash.“ What happened? ” I rub my eyes, trying to wake up completely.“ Alpha sent me to bring you, Miracle. ” She informs me in a neutral tone and steps away from me.“ Is it something serious? ” I mumble to myself but Sara takes it as a question that I am asking from her so she answers. “ I don’t know. Why don’t you go and find out yourself because you are clearly blocking
MIRACLE POVHe looks surprised for a second when I call him Alpha. He asked so many times from me to call him Alpha instead of Cain in the past but I never did it. Today, I am calling him Alpha without him having to ask me to do it.“ What are you doing here? Your brother is about to send a search party to look for you. ” He blinks away the surprise from his eyes and asks me in a distant tone.He is making me feel like I am talking to him for the very first time in our lives and he doesn’t even know me.I unblock the mind link and instantly hear Matthew’s voice in my head.‘ Where are you, Mira? Alpha King is here and he was asking for you. We couldn’t find you anywhere. I was about to ask everyone to look for you but he said that he will find you himself. Did he find you yet? Are you alright? ’ Matthew bursts out, asking all sorts of question and making me realise yet another mistake that
MIRACLE POVI go back to the pack house and get surprised after finding out from Matthew that Alpha King has already left the pack. He really just came to listen to whatever I had to tell him.After having dinner with Matthew like I promised him earlier, I go back to my room and think about the interaction I had with Cain.He said he forgave me. He really did say it but did he mean it? I don’t know for sure but it seems like he really doesn’t want to have anything to do with me.Watching the moon from the window of my room, I wonder about only one thing now.What does the Moon Goddess has in store for me now?*****Night passes fairly fast and I find myself unable to fall asleep. Whenever I tried to sleep in the night, I got these horrible nightmares about violence that I simply gave up on sleeping in the night time at one point.Tired, I walk out of my room in the morning and end up colliding with
MIRACLE POVI stay by the lake for a few hours and then decide to head back when Matthew Mindlinks me to ask if I am doing okay.Amanda said that I can do whatever I want now and I will be successful and happy but this is my main problem…I don’t know what to do anymore. I don’t feel like doing anything at all.This time I can’t even blame my curse for anything. It’s all me – Miracle Cullen who is trying to destroy the rest of her life.I sigh as I walk back inside the pack house and earn many side glances. They remain silent but I know if given a chance, they are going to hurt me a lot.Once again, I am forced to wonder why no one is calling me a traitor or doing anything against me. What’s wrong here? I can’t say for sure.“ Mira. ” Matthew calls out to me just as I am about to enter my room.I turn around to face him and freeze on my spot to see Xavier com
MIRACLE POVFor a moment I think I saw the corners of his lips curling up but the gesture was gone when I blinked once.I am seeing strange things now. He didn’t really smile right?“ It’s good to know. ” He sighs and rounds the table to go back to his spot.He took the news too lightly. Does he really not care anymore?“ Cain… ” I whisper his name unconsciously and instantly realize my mistake when he looks at me intensely.“ I mean Alpha… ” I correct myself, my heart beginning to beat faster.“ What did you promise Lord Rickard in return of helping me? ” I ask the question which has been bugging me for a long time now.“ It’s none of your business anymore Miracle. Like I said before, go live your own life now. ” Cain looks down from me and replies in a firm tone, shutting me up.I heave a heavy breath and turn a
MIRACLE POV“ I - I hurt someone, Cain and I almost hurt my brot - brother too. You were right. Please help me. ” I whisper in a scared tone.His hands stay caged in mine as he doesn’t pull away from me. This is surprising, but I will focus on this later.“ Please… ” I try again, receiving no reply from him whatsoever.He just watches me like he has seen me for the first time in his life. The usual neutral look is present in his eyes, but his silver grey orbs are not cold right now.“ Go back. ” He pulls his hands out of my own gradually and takes a step back to put some distance between us.I open my mouth to talk and plead again, but he speaks up before I get the chance. “ Go back right now. I don’t have that potion. Xavier will bring it from the new witch and I will send it to you later. ”A sigh esca
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
