《THE ORACLE IS MY MATE》全部章節：第 31 章 - 第 40 章

Oracle’s POVThe Gutters continued to occupy my thoughts.I have never seen so much suffering before. I remembered a time when it used to be as Sorrel described.A place where dreams were achieved. The beacon of dreams for werewolves around the mountain.What went wrong?Mel walked in, determination in her eyes. “Something is terribly wrong, Oracle,” she said, pacing closing the door behind her.“Something is terribly wrong and I do not know what.”I nodded. “I know that.”She began pacing, walking back and forth before me. She stopped suddenly and lifted her head.“What have you been up to?”I stayed quiet, waiting for her to continue. Maximus had told me something was wrong, and he had charged me with the responsibility of uncovering it.As long as I was concerned, the task was left to me, I did not want to endanger the Luminaries. “You are onto something, and I want in.”That was so Mel, she was the top of her rank amongst her fellow luminaries and therefore very reckless.She wa

Sorrel’s POV Nathaniel broke the kiss then, smirking. His eyes glistened with unforeseen joy and I felt sick to my stomach.I listened, horrified as the sound of the footsteps drew closer—Kaine’s footsteps.My heart thumped in rhythm with the steps, firm and loud.Nathaniel’s side lifted into a grin, light dancing in his eyes as he watched with anticipation.No doubt deriving some sort of joy from this sick performance.“What do you think dear brother is going to do?” Nathaniel sang, his voice slithering down my body like a snake.“He’s particularly fond of you.” Nathaniel faced me now. “Why is that?”A lump, hot and hard, formed in my throat. I was conscious of his words and aware of his eyes watching my features intently.“He is not.”“Are you saying I’m lying?”If I agreed it would only make him do all the sick things he had in store for me. If I declined he would know that I was trying to protect Kaine.“He cares for the crown and heir.”“Mmm,” he hummed. “How loyal, isn’t he?” T

Sorrel’s POVI stood away from Kaine in the hallway, heart thumping in my chest. I hadn’t seen him for three days since our last encounter on the balcony with Nathaniel.This was our first meeting since then and he was staring at me differently. The humidity in the hallway intensified, thickening to a choking level. His eyes were dancing between silver and his usual hazel green eyes.I took a step forward, and he did as well. I was holding my breath, and it felt like he was holding his, too.His eyes tracked me slowly, then they widened a little, as if he was only seeing me just now.Time elapsed beside us and it suddenly felt like our first time seeing each other again, like the first time our mate bond snapped into place.When he walked past me, all my senses were filled with an immense energy that left me dry and longing…“Kaine,” I called as we passed each other.He came to an abrupt stop with shoulders squared.“Look at me.”He turned but didn’t look at me.“Are you alright?”Hi

Sorrel’s POVI sat in the infirmary with my unconscious mother, she came yesterday and since then she had been unconscious.The physicians attended to her, even Aaron came in. They’ve done the necessary thing and he said she was alright.Slowly recovering, she was down with a bad fever that ran to her head, and it affected her wolf as well.I took her hand and pressed a kiss on it. “Please wake up,” I muttered, “please, I need you. I cannot do it on my own.”The door to our room opened and in came Kaine. He was dressed casually, as casually as it went for him.But that wasn’t what brought a smile to my face, it was his presence. I tried not to read too much meaning into his presence, he could have possibly come because he was already in tht infirmary, but my stupid heart read meaning into it.“Kaine,” I said and shifted on the metal chair. “What are you doing here?”He stopped, looked around the room, and then at me as if he didn’t know how he got here.“You….” His eyes dropped to me

Sorrel’s POVMy heart beat like a war drum, blood whooshing violently in my ears as we all stared at him—shocked to the bones.Kaine did as well. He was staring at his outstretched hand, finding it hard to believe what he was about to do.My eyes crept from his outstretched hand, hovering just above my thighs to his eyes. They were wide with terror as we locked eyes.His throat worked; he swallowed, and then the sound of his chair scraping back on the floor revealed him standing.His hands were balled into fists by his side. He stood. A minute. Followed by another. Time ticked by and he just stood in one spot.Slowly, his head lifted and they first met my eyes, before he curtsied. “It is wonderful to have you in the pack, Luna Sorrel will really need your presence,” he said to my mother.“Stay and get properly treated.”His tone was restrained, taut and flat and he would not meet my eyes.“I will be on my way now,” he bowed and with that he whirled, storming out of the room like ghos
