"Are you comfortable?" Gio asks as he kisses Engel's forehead who smiles nodding her head.

"I am fine Gio, stop worrying so much" Engel scolds as she holds his hands on her.

"You know I cannot do that, and now that we have a little one on the way how can I not worry" he grins kissing their joined hands.

"I cannot believe we are going to welcome someone soon," she whispers looking at her womb.

"I hope it goes well" Gio frowns as a thought cross his mind.

"Gio, please give your mind a bit of a rest, we both will be fine, when we have such a strong man as our pillar in our life" Engel reassures him while Gio just nod before he hugs her.

Engel sighs as she holds her mate, as she knows it will take a bit more of reassuring and love from her to him, for him to calm himself and not worry so much.

She knows it will take a bit of time for him to act calm, but this time he will not be alone, she will be in every step along with him to assure him when he is in doubt.

This time she will be his pillar as it is time she repays her mate with the same love and hope he had regarding her.

She knows in no time he will get his confidence back and he will once again be the same strong man she has always loved.

"Will you stop fussing so much?" Ariel sighs as she pushes the spoon away as she feels like she will burst if she took one more bite.

"But Air, you need to eat and be strong soon, you are so weak" Devon complains trying to coax her to take a bite but she refuses.

"Devon I will be sick this way"

"Fine, but you will at least take the juice," he states pushing the glass her way and she begrudgingly takes it.

"Happy" she asks passing him back the empty glass and he smiles sweetly.

"Very much, now you sleep Air, we have to go meet your parents tomorrow; I heard your mom is doing well"

"It's great, I wonder what happened for her to get unwell, did dad say anything to you?" Ariel asks and Devon just smiles as he takes the trays away.

"Oh, she must have over done something may be, don't worry she will be fine"

"Dev, you are hiding something" Ariel giggles as she can totally see right through his act.

"Well, I am not supposed to say anything to you so forgive me love but my lips are sealed" he sighs sadly before walking back to the bed and lying next to her.

"Well hope your lips are not sealed to kiss me" she grins before pulling him close to her.

"Oh it's never sealed for that" he hurries to kiss her as he was dying without it.

"Oh, how's Engel?" Ariel asks as they both come up for air.

"Pregnant" Devon sighs as he adjusts himself.

"Engel's pregnant?" Ariel shrieks in happiness making Devon wince.

"Yes, and seeing your reaction I can tell you are very happy"

"I am, I am so happy for her and Gio, poor Gio he has been in so much stress lately this must be very happy news for him"

"It is, but let's talk about us, and when we will be able to make our babies" Devon grins wiggling his brows.

"Shut up" Ariel hits on his chest lightly blushing hard.

"Why would I? I think it is high time we make a few, my father has been crying for some red-haired babies and before Devilin finds where his mate is and mates with her we need to make some babies"

"Wait....are you telling me, you want our babies just so you can beat your brother?" Ariel asks him in disbelief.

"Well it came out wrong" Devon smiles sheepishly.

"No, I think I have heard enough, please leave me alone I need to take some rest" Ariel pulls the covers and lies down facing away from him.

"Oh come on Air, you know I love you" Devon whines as he tries to pull the covers away but he cannot as she has a tight hold of it.

"Babe" he keeps whining.

*******

"Jane, I think that's enough," Chris warns his mate as she just grins and keeps moving.

Chris sighs as he follows his wayward mate he shakes his head as he does not even know why he tries to stop her as he knows she will do exactly the opposite of what he says.

They have been shopping for their new home for the past three hours and his mate does not seem to stop at anything.

Even if he was not in mood to be out of the house, his mate had dragged him out. Even if they could easily shop from home through internet, his mate did not approve of it saying it was not as same as shopping like what normal couples do.

Moreover, when it comes to do anything-normal couples do his mate has to do so, so now here he was stuck with his mate on the spree to buy furniture and curtains for their home.

It was a good thing that he has a bit control of his powers now as well his emotions because if not this place would have filled with screams instead of happy couples walking around.

"I am so, so happy" Jane shouts as she jumps in his arms at once.

"I am happy that you are, now please can we go back?" he asks trying to pull her towards the counter but she stops him.

"Chris, I have never done it in a décor shop" she grins wickedly making him groan.

His mate likes to do adventurous things and go at it anytime, it does not matter where they were, when her urges comes no force in this world can stop her from ravaging him.

"We cannot leave the trolley in here just like this" he tries to stop her and he really hopes he succeeded.

"We can use it to block the door" she grins before pulling both her mate and trolley towards the bathroom area.

*******

Eric pushes the chair out for Adriana to take it as he pulls the bag of his closer and starts to pull out few things.

"Sit Adriana, we have things to explore"

"What things?"

"Something to do with you being a miracle"

"What do you mean?"

"I will tell you a very short and not so sweet story of a girl that was not supposed to be alive...

Like every story, this one starts with a once upon a time, a time where a warrior fell in love with this human...

Happy right but that's not the part you need to worry but the one I am going to continue, the warrior had a beautiful family two kids already running around and the third one on the way, the key to the unknown....unfortunately the warrior's third child could not make it, some complications occurred during the delivery...

The warrior chose his partner instead of the gift so beautiful in his arms, too bad he did not realize what a miracle he was throwing away...

Then enters this man who everyone hates, but does he cares, not much, you know why? Because he was the one who always had his eyes on that miracle to bloom and let the world know her powers, her dominance....Sorry" Eric grins as he holds Raine's arm and twists it painfully so the bones are in right position.

Raine screams painfully as her arm-twists before the pain starts to, slowly fade away and a dull throb is all she feels.

"How are you feeling?" he asks softly pushing her hair away from her face.

"Just so you know, I was not screaming because I was having the most awesome orgasm of my life" Raine gasps as she was still in some pain.

"We can try that as well," Eric offers and Raine pushes her seat a bit farther away from the man.

"Sorry, I already have four eyes and I don't want more four anywhere around my body" she scoffs in disgust as a shiver runs through her body.

Eric laughs loudly before he throws his specks away from his face and Raine frowns trying to stay away from the psycho.

"Well, I would love to prove you wrong but let's not get away from the topic in here. So, did you enjoy the story?" he asks as he pulls a syringe from the bag once again.

"Let me be honest with you about it, never, ever like ever try to tell a story as you suck big time" she voices watching his movement before she stares at the syringe wishing it will not go anywhere near her.

"I was trying to be dramatic" he sighs sadly.

"It was an epic fail"

"Then let me try it again. That story was about you Adriana Martin...

How your parents did not even tried to save you, your life meant nothing for Adrian Martin, the Alpha of Martin pack and the very first warrior to serve the queen herself, the one who is one of the pillars this whole institute is standing on, do you know why this place is called HP?

It was named after the boy who had an unfortunate death, Henry...he was one of the special kids that is why this institute was named in his memorial so never again another kid would die while they are under the protection of these warrior's...

While they are under Henry's Protection, that is why it is called HP, strange how you ended up getting your own father's name, fate I guess....

You understand what I am trying to say Raine. That girl your mate chose for you is your sister...

Those twins who annoys you are actually your brothers, the girl you saved, Jasmine, she is your sister-in-law, that man who created this whole building is your father, the one who left you to die, who never tried to save you...

One who wants to save every kid did not even blink an eye when he asked to remove you from your mother's womb and kill you"

"Stop"

"I am just starting Miracle, you don't"

"I said stop," Raine grits through her teeth as she has heard enough.

"You think I will just up and start to believe everything you say to me, Adrian Martin, my father? Right, as if"

"Then let me show you" Eric grins but before he finishes Raine shakes her head.

"I don't want to hear any bullshit from you, I think it time you leave" Raine asks but Eric just smiles sadly her way.

"I thought you would want to join me back Raine, I cannot take you with me right now. However, what I want is for you to come to me by your will...

This place is not for you, they just know how to use you, I am sure, if they found your identity, they will never let you go, trap you in here before there is nothing left that is you....

If you chose to come to me, then I promise you Raine they will bow down to you, I will show you the true powers you hold" he stops before looking out where Ariel was still fighting the mandrakes.

"Think on it my miracle, my home's door will always be open for you, you will always have a place in our home the place where once you resided until the day you were lost to me...

Everyone is waiting for their miracle to come back home. If you still do not believe me then let me tell you a secret your blood is the cure everyone is looking for Engel," Eric states before he leaves her alone to think on it.

"Oh and by the way, my name is Thomas, Tom-Tom for you as I remember you loved calling me that" he grins and that name clicks something in her brain and she turns as white as sheet.

*******

Raine watches wide-eyed as the portal opens and the mandrakes stares her way before they all bow down to her calling her their 'new master'

Raine cannot form a word, as she cannot believe what just happened in front of her, even if she wants to deny that they were not calling her their new master she can feel it in her bones that it was she they were calling their master.

However, as the portal goes to close something rushes out of it, no one notices it but her and before she could think more on it, something catches her attention, a girl she waves her way before running towards the woods.

Raine does not know what made her leave everything and walk towards the girl, but what she knows is she knows that girl from somewhere.

"Hurry up, if you don't want to get left" the little girl calls as Raine makes her way towards the woods as well.

"What...who are you and how"

"Ssh...do you feel it?" the girl asks Raine looking around with a smile one she is familiar with

"What?" Raine asks breathlessly as she does not know what the girl was talking about and why did she ran towards the woods.

"Oh...you will feel in it in...1...2...3, Ta-Da, huh?" the girl frowns as nothing happens.

"Who are you?" Raine asks, as she looks around worried that it was some trap, Thomas set.

"I am miracle" the girl sighs as she hits on the stone on the ground before she gasps.

"Oh it's happening" the girl shrieks and before Raine could react or ask anything all she feels is pain a burning sensation in her body.

"I knew it was a trap," she groans as she falls to her knees and doubles up in pain.

After what seems like hours the pain slowly fades away, Raine blinks few times trying to focus on her surrounding while her ears buzzes, and her whole body is throbbing.

"What happened?" she groans trying to get up but she cannot, as her head is too heavy.

"You will know soon, oh someone is coming" the girl whispers before she giggles and runs away once again.

"Wait" Raine calls trying to get up again instead she looses her consciousness.

*******

The next time Raine opens her eyes it is to find herself in a room, which was not hers, she looks around to find someone but she is all alone.

Therefore, she gets up from the bed and looks at the outfit she is in letting her know she was in a hospital. Slowly, she makes her way out but stops as she hears some talk.

"Are you sure Ariel's blood will do the magic and cure her?" it was Rom's voice right outside of her room.

"Dad, I cannot be sure but we know that Ariel successfully opened the portal to the mandrakes so the chances that she is the key to Engel's cure are high, we will get the results in few hours...

If Engel's blood cell accepts Ariel's then it will work we just need to stay positive" UT reasons with her father before Rom speaks again.

"I wonder what awakened Ariel's powers, no one saw that coming" Rom sighs heavily before UT speaks.

"Whatever it was we will know soon all we can hope is this works, I don't think I can see Gio so sad anymore"

"I know, come on you need to hurry and help them" Rom speaks before the father-daughter duo walks away from the door.

Raine bites on her lip, as she does not know what to think anymore. Therefore, taking a deep breathe she opens the door and with determination she makes her way to Engel's room.

After being discreet about where she was actually heading to, Raine finally finds Engel's room and she hopes that no one was in before she opens the door slowly and pokes her head.

A bright smiles lifts on her face as something went right tonight as no one was there so she quickly makes her way inside.

Raine looks around the room as now she has no clue what to do, she wasted all of her energy in trying to figure out how to get to Engel room that she forgot to plan what she will do once she reaches there.

After looking around the room for a while her mind blinks with an idea she smiles as she makes her way towards the side of Engel's bed.

Taking a deep breathe she goes to do something she never thought she will ever do, and no it was not kissing Engel, it was much more painful than that.

"If this does not work I will personally kill you Tom-Tom," Raine whispers before she slowly pulls the sleeve of her wrist and sticks the injection that was in the basket with other of Engel's medicine.

Pulling out some of her blood, Raine injects it in the bottle of blood that was being transferred into Engel's body.

"Now we wait," Raine, sighs as she goes to hide the injection somewhere before putting it in between the elastic of her pants just as Gio opens the door.

*******

"What do you think you are doing?" Eric asks as he sticks his face on the screen where Raine has been staring continuously.

"What are you doing in here?" Raine asks as she closes the screens at once.

"I was bored so came to play with you, want to go on a date with me?" Eric asks hopefully as he takes the seat but falls down as Raine kicks it away from him.

"I will rather have the money instead of going with you now out" she opens the door for him.

"Why are you so mean to me?" he pouts dusting off his clothes.

"What can I say you just bring out the worst in me" she smiles before she sighs, as she feels bad for the boy.

"Why the sigh?" Eric asks as he raises a brow her way in question.

"First, I am sorry for treating you like shit, it's just that..."

"I know, I heard you two were pretty close with each other so I understand, I knew you were not immune of my charms you are just heartbroken when you knew he was the villain...

Have no fear when charming Eric is here, I cannot let you rust like this so I have decided I will be the rebound man for you....

No, no do not interrupt me, I know it is generous of me but I will sacrifice my virginity for you, use my body as you please in any position you like" Eric shouts as he throws his arms around and grinning her way.

"You do know that I am lesbian right?" she asks and his hands slowly deflate before it drops to his side.

"Oh my god, no you are not. It is one of my fantasies to have a threesome with two girls, marry me Raine; you are the girl of my dreams...

With a job like this, I know you are rich and are capable to look after me, marry me," Eric sobs in joy while Raine bangs her head on the board.

"For the last time Eric get lost"

"But..."

"Have no fear when Martin twins are here, we will take care of him" Sirus grins as he pulls Eric out of the room by his collar.

Raine snaps her head to watch Eric screams as he get pulled out before Siran takes the seat Eric was going to take.

"Hi" Siran smiles looking Raine's way.

"Hi" Raine waves back awkwardly as she has no idea how to behave in front of them now that she knows the truth.

"Now I know why you love kicking me out, it's damn awesome feeling," Sirus hollers as he walks back.

"Ya" Raine answers, as she does not know what else to say.

"What's up with you?" Sirus grins as he pats on her shoulder a bit hard.

"Ah, nothing, I just have some work to do" she clears her throat turning back to her computer and opening it before she cringes as she totally forgot about the picture.

"Why is there our family portrait in your screen?" Sirus asks with a frown.

"I...I...I was just..."

"Give the girl a break, Sirus this must be something to do with all of these protection protocols she has to go through, I am sure we are not the only family she has the portrait of, right?" Siran comments as he smiles Raine's way and she smiles back.

"Yes, kind of, well...was there any reason for you to show up?" she asks hoping they will leave.

"Hey dad kind of looks young in this right, we should definitely print this picture, don't you think?" Sirus comments as he zooms in on the picture.

"Hey look, mom looks exactly like Ariel in this one, damn this is not good Advin looks like dad...

He don't have the right to look like dad, only we have, he does not even have the same hair color as dad, that bastard" Sirus grumbles as he goes to look at pictures after pictures.

"Where did you get all of these pictures of our family anyway?" Siran asks, as he too gets interested in watching his parent's old pictures.

"Here and there...it's not necessary to look exactly like your parents to be related right?" she asks at once and the boys hum.
