Miracle
Today is like any normal day. I had thought my 18th birthday would be different. I was a fool to even think today would be any different. It has been years, and the only reason they remembered my birthday was because they had to make Malia stronger by stealing away my powers as soon as I turned 18.
“What the fuck are you doing?” I heard Malia’s angry voice from the kitchen door.
“I am cleaning the dishes,” I replied weakly. I could barely move my limbs after the ritual yesterday. I felt dizzy because I haven’t eaten in two days.
“What about my breakfast?” She questioned. I turned to look at her, confused.
“I served breakfast alre—-” I started, only to get interrupted by her angry voice.
“You served me sandwiches. Do you not know how much I hate them?” She had a crazed look in her eyes. I knew she was angry, but I was afraid of how she was looking at me.
“I am sorry,” I apologized, whimpering in fear. I hated myself for being weak, but I couldn’t do anything. They drained me of any strength I had.
“Not good enough,” she spoke and before I could register, she moved around, grabbing the hot water I kept for washing dishes throwing it at me.
I screamed, my hands instinctively coming up to shield my face. The hot water burned my hands, some of it went to my neck, making me scream louder in pain. I couldn’t stop myself from crying as I felt my skin burn and blisters formed on my hands. She walked over to me, obviously angry. She held my hair, pulling them in a tight grip as she yanked my head back, hard.
“Next time,” she paused, looking at me, her eyes filled with anger and hate. “You won’t be so lucky,” she spat in my face, effectively pushing me to the ground.
I screamed, falling into my hands. It only increased the pain she inflicted on me. She kicked me in my stomach, making it difficult to breathe. I wasn’t able to keep up; I haven’t even healed from the previous injuries, and here she was adding more. I had no fight left in me. I accepted the only escape I had by slowly allowing the darkness to consume me.
—------------------I groaned in pain, slowly regaining my senses. I opened my eyes, blinking to let them adjust to the light. I looked around and found myself on the kitchen floor. I felt dizzy as I tried to recall how I ended up here. I tried sitting up, and the moment my hands touched the floor. I hissed, feeling pain. I looked down at the blistered skin and everything came crashing down on me.
I could not stop the sobs from leaving my mouth. I bit my lips, trying to avoid making any sounds and anger them more. I held the kitchen counter to help myself up. My entire body felt like it was on fire. I am sure I have a few broken ribs because they hurt a lot.
It took me a few minutes to steady myself. I wobbled and walked to my room. I was glad to see the house empty. They must have gone out. At least I could have a few moments of peace alone.
I walked inside my room, making my way to the bathroom. I look at myself in the mirror. Looking back at me was a broken, abused girl with dull blue, lifeless eyes. My body had black and blue bruises, my neck has turned red from the hot water Malia had thrown on me.
I couldn’t heal fast, as a normal werewolf would. I lost that ability, thanks to Malia and her greed for power. She had kept me tied with silver cuffs very often, so I couldn’t regain my strength. Every time she used silver on me, when she abused me, I had looked up to my parents, silently asking them to help me. They never did. Instead, they walked away from me. I was after all a shame to their family. Not shifting on my 16th birthday was the last nail on the coffin to prove Malia right.
The only hope I have is my mate. I hope to find him today. I know he would not abandon me like my family. He would love and protect me, like everyone says a mate would. I held on to the ray of light. I just want to get away from here. I know I couldn’t escape, not until I find my mate.
‘I am sure we will find him soon,’ my wolf, Mia, whispered weakly in my head.
‘I sure hope so, Mia,’ I replied softly.
‘Just a few more days,’ she whispered.
‘Yeah,’ I replied. I hated the fact that she had to suffer because of me.
‘None of this is your fault, Miracle,’ Mia said in a firm voice.
‘It is Mia. If only I was strong, you wouldn’t have suffered so much.’ I whispered weakly.
‘You were just a child. It’s not your fault. Malia intentionally targeted you before my awakening. She knew she was no match to you, to us once you had unlocked your powers to their full potential.’ She consoled. She was the only one who has been kind and caring to me. Even after being caged in my mind, since her awakening, she tried her best to share my pain.
‘I love you Mia. I couldn’t have asked for a better wolf as my partner. You are the best gift the Goddess had given me.’ I said, grateful to have her in my life. I meant every word I said.
‘I love you just as much, Miracle. I know we make a great team.’ She replied. I could hear the smirk in her voice. ‘We are about to receive the biggest gift from the Moon Goddess, our mate.’ She added, making me smile.
‘Yes, let us pray to the Goddess, and maybe we will find him today.’ I replied. My voice filled with hope.
Mia quickly agreed, and we sent a silent prayer to the Moon Goddess. I took a cold shower. A hiss left my lips when the cold water made contact with my skin. I had a few hours before the Mating ball starts. I quickly dried myself walking out of the bathroom. I pulled on my oversized shirt and leggings. I laid on the bed, closing my eyes to rest, all the while the only thought that consumed me was my mate.
ChristopherLife 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 furt
MiracleIt was time for the mating ball; I tried to keep myself calm and not think much about it. I grabbed the blush pink dress my mother had brought me for the mating ball. It was rare for me to get new clothes, and it surprised me she got me one. Then I found out that there were Alphas from neighboring packs visiting, and I realized it was just to keep face in front of the guests.I sighed as I got a hold of the makeup Malia had given me to cover up my bruises. I didn’t even know much about using it, but I knew I had to make sure my bruises and wounds are hidden if I wanted to have some peace this evening. I got to work applying the makeup on my face and neck. I did pretty well in hiding them. The only bruises I wasn’t able to hide were the nasty burn in my hands.‘You should let everyone see your bruises. It will at least save us from here.’ Mia said, I could feel her anger and hate towards our family.‘Y
MiracleAs soon as I entered the garden, I bumped into a wall. I was confused because I didn’t remember the garden having a wall before. It was an open space. I looked up to find a pair of cold blue eyes staring at me. This man that I bumped into had a pair of mesmerizing eyes that pulled me in their depths.He had a powerful aura surrounding him. I think he might be one of the guest alphas. The thought made my eyes widen in fear. I immediately took a step back, scared I would do something to offend our guests. He looked at me with what looked like confusion in his eyes?“I am sorry Alpha, I wasn’t looking where I was going,” I murmured, bowing my head in respect.“It’s alright, just be careful next time. It’s not good to be clumsy, you can hurt yourself.” He replied in his deep, crisp voice, making a shiver run down my spine. Did he really have to be so rude? I did say I was sorry, right? I thought, mentall
Miracle I woke up in a dark room. I blinked my eyes a couple of times to adjust to the darkness. I looked around to find myself in the room they gave me to sleep in the packhouse. I feel confused trying to recall what happened, and why I feel like a truck ran over my body. I mean, I know I was beaten and bruised, but at the moment, I felt worse than I have. I tried to get up in a sitting position on the bed, but I couldn’t move. I hissed in pain but will myself to move. Groaning, I sit up on the bed and as soon as I did the lights turned on making me close my eyes at the sudden brightness. “You finally decided to wake up?” I heard my father’s angry voice and my head in his direction in fear. “I—” I start, but stop short of words. I don’t know what to say. I didn’t even know what I did to get into trouble this time. I looked up to see both my parents glaring down at me. I try to recall what happened, but I can’t seem to remember anything. The o
Christopher We arrived at the Silver Crescent Pack, but for some reason, my wolf has been restless. I don’t know what it is, but I feel there is something terribly wrong. I tried to ignore it and focus on attending the Mating Ball. I don’t want to poke in their business unless they are doing something terrible. The Alpha welcomed us, who seem very nervous in my presence. I know, I have a strong aura and I try to suppress it as much as I can, but did he have to make it so obvious? He is an Alpha, and he lets others see his emotions. It is not a good sign for an Alpha. They immediately took us to the guest house. They had tried their best to make it comfortable for all their visitors, so I commend them for it. After a shower, I changed and made my way out to find my Beta waiting for me at the door. “Alpha, do you also feel it?” He asked, looking around. “Do you feel something?” I asked, not bothering to answer his question. “I feel somet
Miracle “NO!” I screamed, my heart still aching from the agonising pain of rejection. I know he didn’t use the words to reject me, but for some reason, it feels like he is rejecting me. “Why can’t you recognise me as your mate?” I asked, looking at him with tear-filled eyes. “I can smell my mate’s scent, and I know it’s not you,” he said, looking at me with his hate-filled eyes. I felt something break inside of me. “Please,” I pleaded pathetically, looking at him with hopeful eyes, “I swear I am your mate. She is not,” I added as tears rolled down my cheeks. “I am sure Malia has tricked you. She can’t be your mate, please, please trust me.” I begged for my mate to listen to me. “Why are you so hell bent on proving that I am trying to steal your mate?” Malia asked. For the first time, she looked pitiful, and I knew it was all an act. She was desperately trying to prove in front of everyone that I was trying to frame her. “How can you ev
Miracle I feel empty inside. I am completely broken. There is nothing left of me anymore. I knew I wouldn't come out of this alive. I know the punishment of trying to hurt a fellow pack mate. No one believed me before, then why would they believe me now? I won’t try to prove myself innocent anymore. There is nothing for me to live for. However, there is one thing that I know I want to do before I leave this world, and that was to prove I wasn’t lying about Jake being my mate. My thoughts were interrupted when I heard Mia whimper in my head. ‘I am sorry, Mia,’ I whispered. ‘I know you don’t deserve this, but you are stuck with a useless human like me. I hope the Goddess gives you a second life, and you get a partner you deserve.’ I continued. I was heartbroken because I couldn’t save her, no matter how much I tried. She was suffering with me, and will probably die with me too. ‘None of this is your fault, Miracle,’ she replied in a low whisper. ‘Don’t
Christopher Last night was uneventful. My wolf has been restless from the moment we arrived in this pack. I wanted nothing more than to return home, but I had business to take care of. If someone was using magic, it is dangerous not only for this pack but for the entire werewolf species. Toby was out to gather information. I knew it wouldn’t be long before he came back. I spent the morning training to keep myself occupied. It was after lunch when I returned to the guest house to find Toby anxiously pacing in my room. I frowned at the look of worry on his face. I walked in, closing the door behind me. He stood straight the moment he saw me enter. I sat on the couch, motioning for him to sit beside me. “Alpha, I have all the information you needed, and you will not like what I found out.” He said as soon as he sat on the chair beside me. I was about to ask him to spill it already, but the knock on the door stopped me. “Come in,” I called out. So
