MIRACLE POVHis lips just stay still, tingles running up and down my body. The pain subsides immediately like it was never there to begin with.I close my eyes, my mind focusing only on his touch. It calms me down. It makes me oddly feel alive and dead at the same time.Sighing softly, he pulls away and gets up, knowing the pain has gone away. Opening my eyes, I crane my neck back to look up at him.His silver gray eyes are switching between red and the natural color rapidly, the wolf threatening to take control over his mind and body. I can feel this light nudge at the back of my mind too.“ You have to reject me. ” He whispers, but his voice sounds too loud in my ears. Perhaps, I don’t want to hear these words, that’s why they sound so loud.“ I am not rejecting you. Ever. ” I reply, an uneasy feeling gripping my heart.Is he going to torture me? But, it hurts him too. I don&rsquo

MIRACLE POV “ I told your Punishment equipment Olivia that you are my mate and she knows I am marked too. ” I don’t even know why I said this to him in the first place. He was behaving oddly good just now and I, as always, ruined it by saying the most dumbest thing at an unexpected time. I flinch when he whips his head around and shoots me a vicious glare. I try to act nonchalant, but I get scared every time he looks at me like this. Like…He is going to throw me into a river so my lungs can get filled with water and then pull me out so I gasp for an ounce of oxygen. I inhale sharply, dragging my tongue across my lips. He saunters toward me, his expressions unforgiving and his movement calculated. “ You. Did. What? ” He says each word with each stair he climbs down, his eyes flashing glowing red. I swear I can see steam coming out of his ears. He didn’t want her to know that I am his mate? Why? Is he ashamed of me? I gulp the non – existent lum

MIRACLE POV “ You are saying I am not…Loveable? Am I so bad? ” I step forward, my eyes fixed at his as I try to push the tears back. I hate this more than I like to admit. I don’t want him to mate with me, I don’t want him to kill me, I don’t want him to hate me, I don’t want to be forced to feel this way…But, I am helpless when it comes to the mate bond and mate mark on my neck. “ We are not alike. You and Me. We are different. There is no way we could have even looked at each other if we were not mated. I don’t think there is anything I can love about you. I don’t know about others. ” Cain speaks out with his eyes holding mine. My shoulders that were stiff, loosen up. So that’s what he meant? He is so confusing. Just when he is about to achieve what he aims for, he stops pushing forward and takes a step back. Is this because my pain will cause him pain eventually or is there something else? I don’t know yet, but I think I will find

MIRACLE POV The moment I saw that hybrid, a memory flashed in my mind. It didn’t take me more than a moment to recognize that man as the rogue who attacked me and my brother along with 19 others. I can forget everything but I will never forget their faces. It seemed like I have forgotten the way they smelled but now I remember, vividly. They were those same odd hybrids who attacked us for no apparent reason. That man had pulled out the pendant on that day, but Matthew had asked me to not look at it. ‘ Mira. Don’t look at the pendant. ’ That’s what he had screamed at me through the mindlink. I was confused, angry, hurt. I committed a mistake. After hearing those insults thrown at me by the Oracle Amanda, I stormed out, shifted and ran away. Matthew had followed me even when I crossed our border, our safe zone. He had managed to stop me by the edge of the mountain in the forest. He tried to calm me down. I remember what

MIRACLE POV“ He is coming for you, you know and I am planning to hand you over after this heat season to avoid war. ” Cain smirks at me while I stare at him, unblinking.“ You want me to believe that you are really going to do this? ” I mutter under my breath, my expressions unchanging.“ Elijah can take revenge better than me. He is going to turn you into one of those weird creatures without will and memory. Oh and also, he got your brother killed so you two can have a good time together. ” He gets up from the bed, facing me with the same smug smirk.He hit the point. He truly did this time.“ It’s not a… ” I sigh out, my voice refusing to come out. “ Joke. ”“ Why? Does it hurt you to think that three of his creatures pushed your brother down the edge and they almost took you back to their king but they had to abandon you halfway? ” He ra
