MIRACLE POVAnd that’s how the moment of happiness was cut short for me and Cain.Cain rushed out as soon as he gave me the warning to stay inside. The cry was loud in the air ‘ We are under Attack. ’Elijah has come or perhaps he sent his puppets to cause some damage.The previous calm atmosphere disappeared and everyone had rushed out, except for me and a few who can’t fight. Selvia is one of those who stayed behind, because she is pregnant.“ We will deal with this. ” She has been assuring me and herself by repeating this.I know it’s a soothing lie.She knows and I know too. Judging from the growls, howls and roars coming from outside, we both can tell shit is going down and we both are locked in here while the rest of the wolves fight.I want to see Matthew, that was my first thought when Cain left me here. I couldn’t find my brother anywhere though.T

MIRACLE POVIt takes everyone a while to come to terms with everything.Cain stays standing on the same spot, unable to move just like me who is holding him.Seconds turn into minutes while no one makes any move.When I realise Cain needs to do something, handle the situation and all the bodies and packs, I pull back from him. I take a step back in the water and take in a shaky breath.I still remember what Cain told me a few days ago when we were taking a bath. He said he cared about Olivia, she was his childhood friend…He wanted to protect her, he wanted her to forgive him. He had so many plans and everything just…went to shit.I don’t know how this happened and I don’t want to think either because, deep down, I know I won’t like the answer.Matthew has stopped crying in the back and I have a hunch what he must be doing. Like always, he will go silent, pretend nothing happened and he

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 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

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
