Christopher
Life has been unfair to me. It has separated me from everyone who was dear to me. I lost my parents, my brother, and my mate. It seems like I am cursed. I looked at the picture in my hand. My beautiful mate wrapped in my arms, smiling at me, looking as gorgeous as ever. It was supposed to be the beginning of our new life together, but it turned out to be a nightmare instead.
No matter how hard I tried, I could never forget that day. The day I lost almost every one of my family. I closed my eyes as a tear slipped past my eyes. My heart contracted painfully in my chest. It has been years, but the memory is still fresh in my head.
“Chris, we have to—-” My sister Brenna barged into my room, stopping mid-sentence when she noticed the picture in my hand.
“Don’t you knock?” I asked in an annoyed tone.
“Why do I have to knock?” She asked, shrugging her shoulders as she walked further into my room.
“Because they are called etiquettes,” I grumbled, wanting her to leave already.
“Whatever! I came here to remind you about your visit to the Silver Crescent Pack.” She said, rolling her eyes at me before she turned to look at me seriously.
“Chris,” she started, sighing. She sat beside me on the bed. “I know you love her, but you have to move on. She is gone. You can’t live your life drowning yourself in sorrow like this.” She continued giving my shoulder a comforting squeeze.
I know she is worried about me. I know she means well. I know she is probably right. However, her words only made my wounded heart bleed more. I couldn’t stop the anger bubbling inside me, and before I knew it, I pushed her hand away. Standing up in anger, I almost knocked her to the ground.
“What the fuck do you mean?” I growled, breathing heavily as my wolf clawed in my head to take over.
“She was my mate, my Luna, and the love of my life. You want me to forget everything and move on like nothing happened?” Her eyes widened in shock, sensing my anger. She immediately shook her head, taking a tentative step toward me.
“No, I didn’t mean it that way, Chris.” She said. She was panicking, her eyes shedding tears. “I promise, I didn’t mean it like that. Chris, you are my brother. I love you and I worry about you. I just want to see you happy.” She said, reaching out to comfort me, but I slapped her hand away. I wasn’t able to control myself anymore.
“Don’t fucking touch me,” I growled, and she flinched at the tone of my voice.
“All you have to do is leave me the fuck alone,” I shouted.
“Get the fuck out of my sight,” I growled, unknowingly using an Alpha command on her.
She nodded, taking a deep breath. Her eyes hardened as she looked at me. She turned and walked out of my room without looking back. I was losing my fight with my wolf. I screamed and growled, finally letting my wolf take over.
—------------I woke up to the peaceful sound of the waterfall. I looked around to find myself in the woods. This has been my secret hideout ever since I was a kid. I used to come here to get away from everyone when I needed some alone time. I stood up, realizing I was in my wolf form.
I tried to recall how I reached here. After thinking for a while, I recalled how I lost control again. I have had no control over myself or my wolf ever since I lost my mate. It has been my breaking point. My sister was the only family I have left.
Fuck! I had hurt her with my words. I have to apologize to her. I turned around and sprinted for the packhouse. I can’t believe I lost control to an extent that I made my sister cry and I didn’t even care about it. I just hope she forgives me.
This is the fastest I have ever ran to get to my sister. I reached the packhouse in less than five minutes and went behind a tree to shift. I grabbed the basketball shorts from the clothes we hide behind the tree and pulled them on. I rush inside the packhouse and go looking for my sister, but she is nowhere to be found.
I panicked when I didn’t find her anywhere. I go to run out of the packhouse to look for my seventeen-year-old sister when I bumped into my Beta, Toby.
“I am sorry, Alpha. I was just coming to you.” He said, bowing his head respectfully.
“Whatever it is, will have to wait, Toby. I can’t find Breena, I have to look for her.” I reply moving to leave.
“Breena has left a message for you, Alpha.” He said, making me stop and turn around.
“Why did you have to come to me with a message? Where is she?” I asked, narrowing my eyes at him.
“She left to spend the weekend in her friend’s pack. She said, she will see you next week, when umm—” he replied, stopping mid-sentence uncomfortably.
“When?” I asked, already figuring what my sister would have said.
“When you are in a better mood…” he replied, trailing off in the end.
“Did she mention anything else?” I asked.
“She requested for you to attend the Moon Festival at the Silver Crescent Pack.” He replied. I sighed nodding my head. No matter how I feel, I can’t neglect my duties as an Alpha.
“Let me go get ready,” I said, turning to leave for my room. “Toby, you are coming with me, and please ask for someone to clean my room after we leave,” I ordered.
“Sure thing, Alpha,” he replied, running off to his wing.
I walked into my room, and as I predicted. I had destroyed everything in my anger. I ignored the mess I created and took a quick shower. I grabbed a pair of dark blue denim and a white button-down shirt. I wore them quickly and walked out of the packhouse.
I saw my car parked and my Beta sat in the driver’s seat, waiting for me. I got in the passenger seat and started our journey to the Silver Crescent Pack.
Miracle “Are you sure about that?” I jumped at the sweet voice that filled my ears and I turned to see who was intruding on my peace with Mia. In front of me stood a beautiful woman. I have seen no one as beautiful as her. She was a tall woman with a milky white skin. Her platinum blonde hair flew around her as she looked at me with a sweet, gentle smile on her face that enhanced her unique violet coloured eyes. “Are you sure you don’t want to talk about your mate?” The sound of her voice broke my trance, and I blinked my eyes, trying to focus. If I was really in heaven, then she must be an angel. “Yes, I don’t want to talk about him.” I mumbled, but I was sure she heard me. She walked towards me and patted my head, looking at me with the same smile on her face. “You don’t mean that, child.” She said, and I scoffed at her in response. It was creepy enough that she was listening in on our conversation, and now she wants to get
Miracle I could hear voices in the distance, but they seemed to be far away. My eyes felt heavy, like I have been sleeping for years, yet I felt exhausted. I tried to focus on the murmuring voices, but failed to make sense of anything. I wanted to open my eyes, but I couldn’t move my eyelids. I tried to force my eyes open, but I failed no matter how hard I tried. I sighed tiredly before forcing myself to open my eyes. After what seemed like forever, I could finally open my eyes, only to find myself surrounded by darkness. I blinked my eyes, trying to adjust my sight to the darkness. Slowly, my vision got used to the darkness, and I desperately tried to look around to find out where I was. I sat on the ground, trying to hear the voices from earlier. But all I got was silence. There were no more whispering voices that I had woken up to. I was confused. I didn’t know or understood what was happening anymore. Mia was silent when I called
Christopher “Who are they?” Esmeralda’s voice had a stern, angry edge as her eyes glowed green once again. I looked at her, confused at her sudden anger, alarmed. I knew then and there, something was terribly wrong. “What’s wrong?” I asked, almost instantly. “Who are they?” She asked again. “They are Miracle’s family.” I replied. Her body visibly relaxed as her eyes returned to their normal colour. She frowned, looking at them, still not saying anything as she observed them. “Can someone tell me what is happening?” My attention snapped to Miracle’s father, John. He looked older than his age, but something was off about them. My senses were on high alert. I sniffed the air, and almost immediately, a growl left my lips. Why the hell did they smell like rogues? “Toby?” I turned to look at my Beta. He knew what I wanted to know without even asking the question. He sighed, and I hated that I had tired him out. I made a mental note to give h
Christopher “I wasn’t talking about that ritual and spell. Someone cast another spell on her, and it was from years ago.” Esmeralda’s words shocked everyone in the room. What the hell is going on with Miracle? How much has she suffered over the years? “What do you mean?” I growled. She glared at me, rolling her eyes at my obvious anger. I was getting anxious with each passing second, and didn’t like the uneasy feeling. “Stop growling at me. You might be an Alpha, but I am not one of your pack members to bow down to you. I am only answerable to the council. I am here to help you, and you need to show me respect. If you can’t respect me just because you hate my kind, then I will take my leave.” Her eyes glowed a bright green as she spoke to me in a stern voice. “I might be a witch, but I am not one of them.” She spoke in an angry tone. I decided it was best for me to shut up. I didn't mean to growl at her. I was just upset with the fact that Miracle had
Christopher I have been waiting for what looks like hours, and there is no sign of any elder arriving with the healer. I was getting impatient. We did not have so much time to waste waiting for them. They knew how critical Miracle was, yet they were not taking things seriously. My mind kept playing the events of the day I found out Miracle was my second chance mate. The doctor's words echoed in my head. I wonder if everything that happened on that day was somehow related to what the doctor found out, but I wouldn’t know until the fucking healer arrives. ‘You are going to have to kill the healer for keeping us waiting.’ Trent growled in my head and I sighed audibly. ‘Don’t be reckless Trent, we need the healer to check and treat Miracle.’ I replied, trying to calm him down. ‘Trent, we don’t want Miracle to suffer anymore than what she has already been through. You need to stay calm.’ It was important for us to leave our Alpha ego aside and think calmly
Christopher I felt relieved when the doctor informed me that my blood helped them keep Miracle stable. However, it didn’t help her much with the healing process. It has been over a day and there is no sign of her waking up. The pack doctor ran a lot of tests to check what was happening with her. So far, he hasn’t been able to figure anything out. We are waiting for the latest test results, and the doctor said we might need to call for a healer. I had requested the council members to bring a healer. They were the only ones who could bring in a healer we could trust. Considering this was my mate, and Luna, the council was quick to accept my request. We were waiting for them to arrive. We are expecting their arrival today, but what has me worried is there was no update from Toby. I haven’t heard from him ever since he left yesterday. I was wondering what could possibly take him so long to just get Miracle’s family. Did they refuse to return with Toby? Th
