Summer POV
"Besides, you all still need me for teleportation. Eh, don't look surprised as if I haven't done it numerous times."
The nerve of this god just baffles me. Who even objected?
"But Hermes, we have to take the car unfortunately. There is no way we can just pop up from nowhere in the human realm. We are not exactly trying to draw attention to ourselves."
Hermes just stares at Gunther as if he grew two heads. A smirk smugly plastered on his lips. This is going to be one hell of a trip. As it is, I am the only one who can pacify this childish god. Somehow, he knows how to crawl under everyone's skin. I secretly glare at him and he shrugs then talks.
"Of course we will take the car dummy. We will all sit in the darned car and I'll still teleport us there. Mind you we have to be at the accident scene in the early hours to avoid a run in with the human authorities. If we drive, it's gonna take us long. We need t
Summer POVAfter Kronos granted us the twenty four hours of the day the convicts escaped, I was left feeling wary and unsettled. Harold was not an easy enemy to deal with. He never ran out of ideas and the way he pulled that stunt off, left me in awe. Admittedly, he was my foe but a very cunning one at that. Truth is his determination scares me. He is unrelenting in his quest for power."What's got you so quiet like this grand mama?"That earned Hermes a slap on the back of his head from Michael."Quit calling my beautiful mate Grand mama. She's only sixteen and you're a millennium old.""Urgh, you guys and your mate issues. Anyway, she bears the spirit of Rhea, who is my father Zeus mom. That literally makes her my grandma dummy!"Everyone burst into laughter. Honestly, there is no getting mad with this childish god. Gunther is driving and since I gave him the location, he is cruising with no problem at all. We sta
Summer POVI narrate the dream to the guys and Hermes crumples down in defeat. We all look at him expectantly. He knows something that he is yet to let us in on. We sat quietly till he decides to open up. What he tells us leaves baffled. Things just got real and we are so far from home. Our powers are limited in the human realm as we cannot reveal who we are. We all let out frustrated growls and unanimously agree to head home earlier than scheduled." If I am not mistaken, that is a fallen angel who has been stalking us. My only confusion is what he wants and what he will benefit from it. I would never want to admit this but I am also worried about that puny mate of mine. If this fallen angel could fallow us this far, he will stop at nothing to capture our attention. He singed your perfect skin in a dream and you still bear the scars. Your healing process is super fast but we can still see the scars. What of my story excuse of a mortal I have been g
Michael POVI recall how, from the moment they both came from the restroom, she was wary of me and quite cold with Summer as well. Something was off but I paid no heed. Damn the mate bond. At times it chases away all rationality. I brace myself for what's to come because, my gut feeling tells me it's going to be one hell of a rollercoaster ride.I soften my tone of voice and features as well. I firmly glare at Hermes not to say a word. After which I slowly stand up and sit by her bedside. I reach for her hands and hold them. I try and send waves of calmness to her. Being human, I am not sure if it will work. But it does, much to my amazement."Breathe Tania, breathe. I need you to relax ok? I need you to tell me everything you remember or recall that happened at that restaurant. Okay dear. Summer's life is in danger and whatever information you have is of paramount importance."Little do I know how true this statement is.
Michael POVAs Mtungagore carries on running his mixture of powders, the imposter starts blistering. All this while, he has his staff on her belly totally immobilizing her.. She is completely incapacitated. She screams till her voice become hoarse. I watch emotionless without blinking."Now you will tell me who has Summer and why?"Mtungagore sounds so cold and lethal. I make a mental note never to cross his bottom line. She huffs not wanting to talk and he rubs on the portion of her face. By this time, she no longer looks like my mate. She has resumed her true form. She is hideous."Not my face please. Not my face."The warlock snorts and still rubs the mixture on her face. She can't scream anymore as her voice is gone. She hisses in pain as the cheek immediately blisters."Enough, it's Lucifer. He says she bears the spirit of his first love Seraphim. Him and the god Hades are working together b
Summer POVI have since regained consciousness, but I do not want to open my eyes. The atmosphere is quite cold and eerie. I don't have to ask to know that I am in the enemy's camp. Harold has gone too far this time. I know he will torture me and I am ready for him.However, my speculation is both right and wrong. I am in the enemy's lair alright, but it's not Harold. I see the CBI boss walk in holding a tray of food."Wake up darling and eat your food. No need pretending. I know you are awake."I don't know why, but something tells me not to get him mad. I sit up and he hands me a glass of juice, which he tastes first. As if he knew I was thinking he could possibly poison me. Without a word, he places the tray in front of me and proceeds to have a taste of everything. I just watch him dumbfounded."Now eat up. You have already seen me eating, a guarantee that there is no poison in this food. Besides, I need
Summer POVAfter the so called Lucien Gumball leaves, I am left alone to my thoughts. I trail back to my weird dream. Was it a dream or reality? It had to have been a real encounter. Only spiritual because I had to lose consciousness first. I ponder at what Seraphim had said. I am more concerned about what she wanted to tell me last. Her words echo vividly in my head."Remember that my weakness is the sa.."I have to try and piece together the puzzle but every time I try, I draw a blank.Right, back to the present. I am all alone now and have to use my own abilities and intelligent to outwit this fallen angel. I wonder how long he will stay in the human CBI boss' body. I cannot formulate any plan if I do not know what he has in store for me. I have to wait it out and allow him to show me around. However, something tells me that this facade he is keeping, will soon be discarded. I shudder inwardly."Come on da
Lucifer POV"Well, your idea, as repulsive as it is, it is quite genius. Breaking her will ensure the downfall of the werewolves. You Harold would then achieve your goal. On my side, it will invoke the wrath of almost all the gods and war in the heavenly realm will commence. Making me enjoy watching my dream of chaos come through. However, for you Lucifer.." He trails off.I stare at him wondering where he is going with this. His lopsided grin and his intense stare, are making me squirm uncomfortably. I cannot wait to achieve my true form and topple this over confident god. I loathe him."Well, as for you my old friend Lucifer, you will lose everything. Even your sanity."The idiot smirks as if he just hasn't provoked me. I glare at him and he snorts."What can you do to me? After all you are trespassing in my domain. I rule earth, need I remind you?""No need to remind me anything. However, we both kn
Summer POVI am not sure if I understand this Lucifer. At one point, he was so eager to break me. Then out of the blue, he is worried about my wellbeing. I am convinced that he is bipolar.As I have all I need in front of me, I also do not have the desire to disobey him. I laugh hysterically when I notice that the goods have price stickers from a local store. This guy is something else. Did he just steal just by snapping his fingers? At least, I am at ease knowing that this is common food. Not some magically conjured food. I have no idea of the time, so I just make a quick dinner and eat. I feel exhausted.When he left, I did some training. I saw gym equipment in the adjacent room. So I took my time doing some intense boxing. I have to keep in shape.Thus the fatigue. I haven't worked out in over a weak. I take my time soaking up in a hot bath hoping to loosen my tense muscles. After which I get comfortable in the only dece
