MIRACLE POV
Shocked, I find myself unable to move when Cain pushes Matthew and he falls on the ground on his back.
A strange emotion overcomes my heart as I stay absolutely still. It’s like I am not me and my mind is not mine when I start putting two and two together.
“ They all died because of you! ” It’s a calm statement coming from Cain, but his action suggests otherwise.
Cain gets on top of Matthew while I watch and then he raises his fist in the air. His fist comes down with a brutal force and connects with Matthew’s jaw.
“ You took her out of there! ” Another calm statement and a hard punch on Matthew’s face.
This time, I hear a crunch of bones but I still don’t move.
I just listen, feeling foreign in my own body.
“ You hurt Caroline. You made Caroline free her. ” Cain words finally start affecting me more than his fist hitting my brother&r
MIRACLE POVHe shakes his head when I stay silent for a long time. Getting up, he steps aside and gives me a longing look before he leaves.I watch his disappearing back, still finding myself stunned into silence.The situation just took a turn but I can’t deny the fact that Cain didn’t hurt Matthew when I asked him to stop. Does he care about me enough to place me before his own anger and misery?What does he really feel for me?This is not the right time to think about this when my brother is lying hurt beside me but I can’t help it.I can’t help but stare at Cain’s retreating back.Cain and I have changed roles, it seems. Now, I hurt him and he lets me. It’s like he takes it as his punishment and never hits back.“ Mira. ” Matthew groans, grabbing my attention.I look at him and the softness in my eyes dis
MIRACLE POV“ Never leave me. ” Cain whispers against my lips, his eyes squinted.I breath shakily, tears stopping to fall down my eyes. Cain snakes a hand around my waist and pulls me under the shower. The water hits my body and a shiver passes through it.Leaning in, he kisses me again. The softness of his lips and the patience of his actions, makes me close my eyes and lean in to kiss him back.He sucks on my bottom lip gently and pulls back before resting his forehead against mine.I was so worried, afraid that he will be angry and we both will jump down to level 1 after what happened today between us.“ I am sorry. ” I let out a breath.He pecks my lips and goes back to resting his forehead against mine.“ Today doesn’t count. Everything is messed up. ” He sighs and his hand goes to the zip of my dress.My eyes shoot open, meeting his instantly. He blinks, r
MIRACLE POVHe doesn’t try to smile at me, doesn’t try to pull any joke after this to hide the rawness of this situation.He is not trying to assure me, I realise. He will make sure that we move past this.He comes to me with a black shirt and his boxers. He is about to help me wear them but I raise my hand silently, asking him to give them to me.I grab them from him and remove my towel from around my body. Cain never takes his eyes off my body.My shaking hands don’t help me with the dressing up thing and when I fail to pull the shirt over my head, he takes it from me.“ It’s okay. ” I am about to protest, but he speaks before me.I close my mouth and he dresses me up quickly. I hate myse
MIRACLE POV“ It’s not like he didn’t deserve it. ” I mutter, unable to hold myself back.He looks up at me and smiles grimly. I shake my head at him, my palm still held close to his lips.“ But I think…he already got punished for his mistake, Cain. ” I sigh to myself, grief seeping into my heart.He understands what I am talking about. Matthew’s mate died right in front of his eyes, he couldn’t get more extreme punishment than this.I feel bad for my brother, but I hate my own Alpha for causing the deaths of all those people so I am not sure which feelings I need to act on.“ He will be okay. ” Cain comforts me and kisses my palm again.“ Will it make me a bad person if I say…I am a little relieved that Olivia is not going to be his mate and my Luna? ” I wince, staring in his silver grey orbs.Cain’s body stiffens for a
CAIN POVI sigh when she scoffs at me. No matter how hard I try to hide things, she always ends up knowing them. Now, she will insist on knowing everything and eventually, she will ask me to include her in all of it somehow.I don’t want that. I don’t want to put her in danger.“ I didn’t find a way. I just found out about someone who might know how to end Elijah. ” I reveal truthfully, because I can’t lie to her now.“ It’s the same thing. ” She squints her eyes at me, her cute nose flaring in anger.My lips twitch, but I hold the smile back.“ It’s not the same. ” Before I can answer, Amanda does.She is leisurely sitting on one of the visitor’s chair.How did she get here? She must have used her magic to winnow here, I conclude.“ How is it not the same? ” Now, Mir
MIRACLE POV“ If you fail to provide her with a secret…she will take your soul and deliver it to her God of Chaos instead of your secret. ” Amanda reveals to me in a casual tone.I stare at Amanda in complete shock. She is acting like it’s nothing when it can cause Cain his life.I open my mouth to say something, to end this pause of heavy silence between us, but nothing comes out of my mouth.Is all this worth it? Just to find out a way to kill Elijah, is it necessary to put ourselves at risk again? Either way, we are supposed to be doomed.I close my mouth and press my lips in a thin line, before I turn around to face Cain. He is still giving me that refusing look which tells me he doesn’t want me to get involved in any of this…but, how can I let him do all of this alone?“ I will go with you. ” I declare in an assertive tone
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
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
