CAIN POV
Seven hours have passed since she fainted. The new witch, Caroline gave her some potions and said everything depends on her healing ability now.
Healing ability she said…Well…That didn’t sound good to me so I gave her some of my blood anyway.
Her wound has healed from outside, but her face is still pale and her heart beat is slow like before. Her current situation suggests that she is not fine at all so I am standing by her bedside waiting for her to wake up for hours now.
I cleaned her body earlier and also dressed her in one of my shirts but what use is it if she is not opening her eyes even after hours have passed?
Watching her lying still on my bed is more disturbing than I thought it will be. I sigh to myself and rub my temples, looking down at the floor. My back is resting against the wall while I find myself unaware of everything other than time which is passing rapidly and she is still lying unc
MIRACLE POVWhy is he crying? That’s the first thing I think about the moment I open my eyes.Wait a second!Wasn’t I supposed to be lying in some grave by now? I was also supposed to be finally meeting the famous Moon Goddess who gave me so many gifts yet I ditched all her gifts successfully. I even prepared an apology speech for her before I lost my consciousness but I guess, I will have to save it for later.What am I doing on Cain’s bed though? I blink my eyes rapidly and look at him.He is mumbling something. I can’t make out all the words as my ears are still ringing due to a very known reason. I do make out one line though. ‘ When - When will I ever get to decide the future? ’Talk about being a first class dickhead. He is talking about deciding future while sitting close to my half dea
CAIN POV“ Cute? That’s a strange word to describe me. ” I gawk at Miracle who seems more than fine now.At least, she is fine physically but I can’t be too sure about her mental state. I know she is acting positive and happy, but it doesn’t seem too genuine. What she did out there must be haunting her even now.“ That’s the best word.. ” She shoots back with a lopsided grin on her lips.“ Whatever. ” I shrug my shoulders.We both go silent after that, staring at each other with different thoughts running through our minds. I don’t know what she is thinking because I can not read her mind now - not without forcing my way in her mind at least.I can not help but stand there and admire her turquoise eyes, her long eyelashes, her rosy nose and cheeks, the curve of her bow shaped lips.“ Stop checking me out. ” She blurts out and I blink, realis
MIRACLE POV“ You don’t know what I went through when I saw you hurt. Wounded. Nearly dying. ” Matthew repeats the same thing over, making me sigh.We came back from the Red Moon Pack at least an hour ago. Now we are in Matthew’s office alone and he is scolding me for doing what I did.“ At least look at me when I am talking to you! ” He hisses at me and my head snaps up.He was moving back and forth for an hour now but he has finally come to stop beside his chair.“ I told you to stay here! You didn’t listen to me. I can let it go as your older brother but as your Alpha? What do you think I should do to you so you finally learn to listen to someone?! ” He bursts out, his face turning redder by the moment.“ Say something Mira! ” He slumps down on the chair tiredly.Detaching his eyes from my stubborn form, he looks down and rubs his temples before another exasperated s
MIRACLE POVIt doesn’t feel good to jump from the fourth floor of a house even when you are a werewolf. My ankle is twisted at a weird angle now while I feel like I might pass out from the pain. Even if the pain is killing me, I am stubborn enough to not allow any sounds to escape my mouth.Why did I do this? I lay on the muddy floor and regret jumping from the rooftop.Right after talking to Darius, I came on the rooftop and contemplated whether I should jump down or not. At the end, I did gather my courage and jumped. I landed on my feet and the hot - searing pain hit my legs at once.Now, I am just laying on the ground waiting for some healing abilities to magically kick in. I am sure Cain’s blood is still in my system given that my bullet wound has healed completely so I am hoping that it will heal me.I heave a heavy breath and stare at the sky before I feel my bones
CAIN POVDid she just slap me? I stare at her in shock and disbelief.Anger hits me at once after the initial shock, my eyes turning glowing red as my wolf refuses to take it lightly, but I push myself to remain calm in front of her.I grit my teeth, taking a step forward. She stumbles back and this makes me stop.No. I should not get angry at her for slapping me. She is just in shock and she feels angry. Perhaps, I was too harsh on her.I sigh, raking my right hand through my slightly wet hair. I look down, breathing heavily.“ You just want to kill him! ” She yells at me and I am forced to look up at her again.Tears are shining in her eyes while she remains on her defensive stance.“ No. I don’t want to kill him. That’s why I came to talk to you instead of just ripping his head off his shoulders. You know how easy it is for me to
MIRACLE POVI walk through the deep - dark forest, making my way back to the pack house while I think about what just happened between me and Cain.For a moment, I really believed Matthew has changed and he wants to hurt others, rebel against Cain, seize power. I found myself believing everything Cain was telling me but then he mentioned hurting Matthew and my fuse went off.I love Cain, there is no doubt about it in my heart…I trust him to an extent as well, but I can’t trust him over my brother.I know Matthew. I lived with him for my whole life and I believe he can never bring harm to anyone. He is not some kind of villain. He is kind-hearted, responsible and strong. He must be going through a lot, but he will never do what Cain was saying he is about to do.Killing whole packs? Getting involved in the murder of Hundreds and thousands of werewolves? That doesn’t sound like Matthew to me.
MIRACLE POVI stare at the ceiling while laying on the bed. My mind is repeating what Darius told me through the mind link.After he asked me to not trust my brother, I blocked the link and shut him off right away. In that moment, I felt like a bucket of cold freezing water was dumped over my head.Matthew broke the hug and lead me to my room before leaving me alone to rest while Darius stayed silent and didn’t follow us.How can he say something like this about his own Alpha? The thing Matthew told me about the pack members not wanting him or liking him truthfully…Was it a fact or just a doubt?Does Darius hate his Alpha? My brother…Or is it something else? Something like what Cain told me.I was starting to forget about all the doubts I had about Matthew but what Darius said last night has pushed me to think about everything once again.Matthew has asked me
MIRACLE POVSara leaves after telling me everything while I stay there just thinking about what she told me.Cain was telling me the truth. I slapped him for it, humiliated him and called him a liar instead of believing him for even once. I don’t think I will ever get over this guilt. It’s going to haunt me for the rest of my life.Hours pass but I just stay there, thinking about the same thing over and over again.I guess it’s time to think about Matthew now. I need to stop him somehow.I inhale shakily and make my way to his office to talk with him.Standing outside his office, I wonder what I am going to say to him. I try to search for the anger inside me or perhaps a hint of hate but I find nothing…I am just hurt and I don’t want Matthew to ever become what everyone is saying that he is going to become soon.I raise my fist and knock o
