Miracle's Pov
Afterwards, we were ordered back to our halls by the Alpha…without Hardy telling his secret, the mind meld was incomplete and as such we weren't a pack.
It was the most difficult three hours of my life. I guess cutting my hair didn't immunize me from caring about his fate.
I sat on the edge of my bed, my eyes fixed on the door as if willing it to open.
I remember the sound of screeching voices, the shouting, the struggle, Hardy's face as it twisted in anger, as they dragged him away. I was frozen to the spot, unable to do anything…just helpless.
I am helpless still, my imagination ran wild with worst-case scenarios. I tried to push them aside but I couldn't.
So, I sat down and stared at the door…I must have dozed off because next time I opened my eyes, he was sitting by my side, with this look in his eyes and he was caressing my cheek.
I jumped up.
"Hey, beautiful" he whispered.
