Heartbreak ahead 💔
She knows.
She fucking knows!
Hearing the words coming from my mothers mouth, I froze. It was like the entire thing was happening in slow motion.
The smile on Miracles face dropped within a second, and in that second, all of it came crashing down on me.
I was going to tell her. As soon as I saw Arista again, I was going to let her go. Finding my mate had changed me. Changed everything. Now I blew it.
I should've just told her.
Banging and screaming for what seem like hours, getting no reply. I gave in. Walking away was hard to do.
Now here I sit in my room with my brothers and parents barraging me with questions that I have no answer to. What can I say? That I thought I had enough time? That I didn't say a word because Talon was putting her through enough shit already?
No! This is all on me. What's even harder about all of this is that I promised Arista a forever. We've been dating for years, I told her that she would always be mine, that I would always be hers. For Forever.
But once I met Miracle, once I seen her, Arista wasn't even on my mind. It was all her. Miracle was all consuming.
My promise of forever went straight to never.
"Why didn't you tell her?" My dad Parker ask me, he's a wolf like me, he's an honorable man. No doubt he's disappointment in me at this very moment, which hurts me even more. He's a strong King Alpha, one that I look up to and want to be like. He sets a great example. I failed him in so many ways.
"I was going to." What else can I say? I keep repeating the same line to them over and over again. I have no answers.
They all go quiet, looking at them all, I see the disappointment they have for me all over their faces. Getting tired of all the questions, I get up from my bed as I do we all hear a loud resounding boom!
Shocking all of us, we stand there immobile just staring at each other confusingly.
Once we came to our senses we hurriedly run out of the room, Lucias trips over me on the way out. Not stopping to help him I run for Miracles room. Scared that she might be hurt or even in some type of danger.
Mom takes the key, unlocks the door, we all rush in to a disaster. There's a hole in the wall where the window use to be. Wood and glass scattered everywhere. Running over to the hole we all look out but we see nothing but the daunting darkness.
"She escaped!" My dad Parker says. With wonder in his eyes. Most likely praising her bravery.
"We need to go after her, Lucias go to the left side, Talon to the right, Brack come with me through the back." We all leave out to go find her. Malik stays behind unfortunately he's too weak to go after her.
We looked for her all through night. I even followed her scent, but it ended at the river. She's just nowhere in sight. Forever gone.
Mate gone!
I know Flare!
You're fault!
I know Flare!I tell him sadly as we all group back together.
"Let's get some rest, we will resume our hunt in a few hours." I agree with Baron and all four of us travel back to the castle.
Malik is at the door, looking way worse than he was before we left. We definitely have to find Miracle and fast. Turning on my heels, I head back to where I last caught her scent.
"Where are you going?"
"Malik's to sick, Talon, I have to find her!" Ignoring their calls, I transform into my wolf.

Walking along the rivers edge, I pick up her scent immediately about a half a mile down the river. The only place around here that I'm even aware of is Earls place. Aristas dad. Kicking my paws into ground, I run all the way there.
Transforming back into my human form. I whistle for Earl. He comes outside, standing on the porch looking around until he spots me. Earl returns back into the house then comes back out with a pair of shorts. He comes closer to me and throws me the shorts. Then Earl turns and goes back inside without saying a single word to me but he leaves his front door open for me thankfully.
Going into the cabin, Earls sitting at his kitchen table, drinking a cup of coffee. I earnestly go to sit with him.
"Is she here?" I know exactly what he's doing. He's upset that I'm going to hurt his daughter and even if Miracle is here he won't tell me. But I know she is, her scent is all over the cabin.
"Who?" Guess I'll have to play his game.
"Miracle."
"Ain't no Miracle here, boy."
"I can smell her Earl! I know that she's here." He shakes his head at me while he places his coffee down on the table.
"There's no Miracle here." He leans back and crosses his arms. Daring me to prove him otherwise.
"I don't know how much she has told you. But Malik needs her. He's sick and will go mad if he doesn't have her blood. Please? I urgently need to find her Earl. This is no game!" He looks at me bit shocked while dropping his head, I am at least happy that I'm finally getting my point across to him.
"Nope, sorry, no Miracle." Stubborn old man!
"Earl I realize this is more about Arista than Miracle. I don't want to break her heart either. But you know as well as I do when you meet your mate...everything changes. You're a lion shifter..you met your mate! You know how this goes. Please tell me where she is!" Practically begging him. He doesn't say a word, he just sits there while staring me down. Then I hear her a faint heartbeat suddenly from somewhere on Earls house. Fuck. She seems scared, her heart rate is starting to spike up.
