Michael Royale POV
When I reached the so called enchanted forest, the only thing that enchanted me was my beautiful mate.
She was a sight to behold. Draped in a floral dress and her wide wings, I just could not take my eyes off her. When she sensed my presence, she almost forgot that she was mid air. As I dashed towards her ready to cushion her fall, she composed herself and landed gracefully. I could not take my eyes off her. I had to fight off the urge to claim here that instant. It took all my willpower to be rational.
When she embraced me, I was more than content. It just felt right. The sparks were addictive. I did not want to let her go. The rage I had dissipated right there. My mate looks ethereal. Beauty like this is rare. She whispered in my ear,
"I'm so glad you found me Royale."
Her voice was sultry and melodic. I just wanted her to keep talking but I knew she was tired. I pulled her closer and could feel her wings retracting. I lo
Unknown POVWhen Harold and his minions reached the wizard realm, they took Summer straight to the dungeon.Prior to that, they had made sure that she was incapacitated completely. It was the Azanian warlock, that conjured the magic strong enough to render Summer powerless. Inside the dungeon, Summer was tortured. The Azanian warlock and Harold took the task of torturing her. Mtungagore and the dark lord took turns torturing Summer trying to extract information from her.Mtungagore summoned bees that were magical. When he made these bees, he made sure that they were toxic enough for Summer. They had silver stings coated with wolves bane. This was so, because he wanted to make sure that the wolf was totally incapacitated. The swarm of bees landed on Summer and stung her all over. The pain was excruciating. Almost paralysing. Summer let out a bloodcurdling scream then fell limp on the cold hard floor."You damned warlock! I said not to kill her!"
Summer POVAfter the bees stung me, I momentarily blacked out. When I came to, I was in for a shocker.Here I am laying down on the cold hard floor. The tall and dark skinned Azanian warlock and my grandpa are arguing. I take my time to analyze the warlock, and something about him screams power. I look at my grandpa and my heart sinks. Truly, an apple does not fall far from the tree. Just like father like daughter! But what causes a person to be so wicked? I just wonder.I try to reach Sunny to no avail. Seeing as these two were oblivious to the fact that I had regained my consciousness, I decided to just observe them. I almost gave myself away, when Mtungagore insulted my grandpa. He called him a vile offspring of Satan.Hehehe. This is a first!Just by listening to them, I can tell that they are not close buddies. They then leave without even checking on me. I try to move my limbs but scream in pain instead. Not a good
The Azanian warlock POVI could barely contain my amusement. To think that Hades has any relations to a race that he deeply despises, was equally baffling and amusing.WRight on floor of the dungeon,the little Miss is still lying on the hard floor and can barely move. That's to be expected, as I had unleashed my bees on her.Normally, I derive pleasure on torturing my enemies but with this one, it's different. From the moment I saw her, I could tell something was amiss. I could not put my finger on it, but my gut feeling told me so. When someone is as vile, and wicked as Harold had put it, there is no way that can have such a peaceful aura around them. That aura was what surrounded her the time we abducted her.This aura is what compelled me to let her in on my secret. The time we reached the wizard realm, I had delved into her mind. I was not expecting what I saw. She had nothing but admiration and awe for this realm. The houses and the
Levi's POV To say I am angry, is an understatement. I am seething mad. I have a raging storm of anger, coursing through my blood right now. My baby just got abducted right in front of me! Lee and Luca gave us back control and we failed miserably. They took back control but this time did not block us. I could sense the same amount of rage in Luke through our twin bond. Rage and disappointment. However, the one who is much more dejected is the prince. I can only imagine how bad he is feeling. With his ability to talk to animals, he has managed to acquire help from a polar bear. Teddy the bear, is white and massive. I can safely say he is almost twice the size of any other bear. Obviously, he has magic tricks. Curiously, we all observe him at work. Everything he did, it was with such ease and precision.As we entered the icy maze, we were greeted by a very pathetic yet hilarious sight. Four groups of people huddled together. Teeth chatte
Shocking Revelations Part 3Levi POVHow could I not see it? All along I believed that Harold was a human who was a wolf's mate. Not once did I picture him as the dreaded Harold Hades. A swirl of mixed emotions flow through my blood.The black hole cleared and we find ourselves at the perimeter of our pack boarder. We are on the eastern side of the pack. The bear clears his throat and speaks."I am sorry I cannot enter. There is a barrier that I cannot even penetrate."We all stare at him in disbelief. What barrier is he talking about? Luke beats me to it and asks."Erm, what barrier are you talking about? We only have our boarder patrol team to block unwanted entries. Other than that, nothing else.""Oh pardon me. My kind missus put this up and fortified it. She made it in such a way that, it will take anyone much more effort to penetrate."Incredible. However, how does the bear know all this if he has been in captiv
Ella's POVMy niece has been missing for almost twenty four hours. Luke , Levi, the prince, Dr Boyce and Gunther went to look for her yesterday. Anxiety has gripped me since then. The prince had howled in so much pain before they took off. A pain we all concluded was Summer's.A whole night passed without us being able to reach them through the mental connection. We all got worried but my wolf kept telling me to hold off the search party. It was pretty obvious that they had left the pack boarders. I was especially worried for Summer. What was she doing outside of the pack boarders? In the morning I sent foe Tina but she never answered. When I went to their house I was shocked to see it vacant. Nothing was left save for Levi and Summer's clothes.It looks like Tina has shifted completely. Where did she go and why? I went back to the pack house and another surprise awaited me. Hannah the mute Omega was nowhere to be seen. I panick
Luke's POV.Incredulous! Hannah Speaks? I just could not believe it. For years, we have had this omega in our midst, convinced she was mute and deaf. Exactly how did she pull it off?How could one live like that for over a decade fooling us all. The anger I felt just dissipated. It was replaced by resignation. I just could not wrap my head around all this. I feel like a total fool. I dejectedly sit down and just look at her. She keeps fidgeting and groaning. Summer's blood did a number on her. All of us are looking at her ready for answers. She lifts her head and coughs. With that she begins to talk.Hannah POVMy loyalty is with the dark Lord, as as he literally made me who I am today. However, I am at the mercy of these vicious and ferociously furious wolves. Therefore, I have to be wise and make a quick and informed decision.Loyalty matters, but my life is on the line here. Something tells m
Flashback Continues"Now honey, I need you to think of anything. Don't tell us. let's see if you have any sort of powers in you."I scrunch my nose and think deep. Do I have a wolf or am I dominantly a witch? A voice invades my head again. This time, it is neither my mom's or dad's. It's a female voice. One that I have never head before."You are a wolf my dear. And you have the ability to take on any appearance you want. Only in human form. That's your ability as a mage. My name is Harley.""Wow. So can we shift Harley?"I prob her with so much excitement."Yes dear we can. But it's going to be very painful for you. Just give me control and it will not hurt so much. Normally, you should be able to shift at sixteen but moon goddess has allowed us. Seeing as we won't be having our parents for long."Odd but the excitement did not allow me to dwell on that last part of her st
Summer POVThe pain is excruciating but my mind is not foggy anymore. I watch everyone running around in a daze. Dr. Boyce is now in his garb and instructing Hailey on what to do. I playback everything that just happened in a bid to ignore the pain. What can I do? I have to come up with a way to cope with it. I recall that when I heard the whisper, 'Umbrage', it was a voice I had almost forgotten. However, if I could not reach out to even my mate when Carla was about to snatch my baby away, how did Hailey, the triplets, and the twins know?Was I hallucinating or did I really glimpse Lenny leading them? Everyone, except Michael, Aurora, mother, Hailey, and Doctor Boyce remained in the room with me. The others had to disperse. The truth is they just left the room but they are all huddles behind the door. Of course, I can scent them. My contractions are now coming every three minutes. According to Hailey, I am quite near.I am just glad that I have a brief moment of relief. This pain i
Summer POVWhen I hear someone whisper that despicable dark witch's name, something snaps in me. The dizziness and nausea, cannot hold me down.It is high time I stop behaving like a damsel in distress. Every little trigger, I faint. No more. "Summer! Somebody help! My mate is bleeding profusely. Dr. Boyce, please do something!"I force myself to lift my hand and smack Michael across the face. He gasps and looks at me. My eyes are still blurry but my mind is not foggy at all. I know that I cannot say anything loudly now, but I can surely mentally convey the message. "None of you should try and take me to the hospital. If anything, grandma, Apollo, mother, Mtungagore, and Lesedi, combine forces and do everything you can to delay this baby. I cannot give birth now. Not until we find Tina. We find Tina, we find Umbrage. Then we put an end to all this.""But Aurora is not here, she..""Oh, but I already caught the culprit. I am here now."Grandma Aurora saunters in dragging Tina and Carl
Summer POV"Summer!"Hearing the anxiety in their voices I decide to fight the fatigue and force my eyelids to open.Squinting to shield my eyes from the bright light, I open my eyes tentatively. The look of concern etched on everyone's face tugs at my heartstrings.I raise my hand in a bid to silence them. I am parched and water would be salvation at this moment. Micheal reacts fast and brings me a glass, whilst wiping off his tears with the other."Here, drink up princessa."He says with so much concern as he props me up to an almost sitting position. To my dismay, he only allows me a sip, before pulling the glass away. I glare at him but he only smiles."Lo siento mi querida princessa, but you have to drink it slowly. Doctor's orders."He shrugs at the same time giving me the puppy eyes. I raise my hand to stroke his overgrown stubble and nod. Everyone watches with bated breath whilst I take my time to drink enough water."Before any of you bombard me with questions, can somebody te
Summer POVTime seems to be stagnant and the dream, endless. The peace and tranquillity soothe my soul. I have no idea when last I enjoyed such peace. It has been so long since I could sleep in like this. I yawn at the same time, cursing at the sun for rising too early. Why can the night not stretch for a full twenty-four hours? I mentally curse at whoever pulled the blinds open to allow such blinding sunlight. Groggy, I try to raise my hand to shield myself from the penetrating sun, only to be restricted by an unknown shackle. I try again but no such luck. Wait. Restraints on my hands? How, who, and why?Panicky, I try harder but a soft voice causes me to halt all my attempts. "There, there, dear child, do not panic. If you allow me, can I have a word with you?""First take the restraints off my hands. It certainly wouldn't be a fair fight if you have me all tied up now, would it?"A melodious sound resonates from what I presume to be her direction, as I still have my eyes closed.
Summer POVThe seaweed, as per Nyaminyami's instructions, is to enable us to breathe in water. Unfortunately, we cannot teleport ourselves to his lair. Therefore, we only had to dive into the deep blue sea. Surprisingly, the water was not as cold as it should normally be. The journey to the great snake people's kingdom was quite easy. We have Nyaminyami to thank for that. For us to find his location, he left a beam of light for us. Had Poseidon not rushed to his home earlier, he would have been able to take us there without any problem. Either way, we will meet at Nyaminyami's place. As heavily pregnant as I am, I'm surprised swimming is so easy for me. There must be magic in this water. Before we know it, we arrive at the great snake's home.These serpents are huge and quite unusual I must say. Back on land, they just seemed to be just big giant snakes. However, here, I am gobsmacked. They have hands and almost humanlike heads! As a wolf, I am quite brave but seeing the Nyaminyami
Summer POVMtungagore did not waste any time, he brought Sid back just before dusk. Upon seeing him, I had mixed feelings. Anger and gratitude at the same time. Anger because he allowed Harold to fool him. Grateful for the fact that, had he decided not to retaliate in the end, I most certainly, would have perished in that inferno. At the end of it all, I owe him one and my heart just cannot hate him. He, like many others, was deceived as well. But his strong sense of justice made him overcome. He is the epitome of humanity. "Summer! Is it really you? Howling hailstorm! It is really you!"This guy is insufferable. From where does he get these expressions of his? I cannot contain the smile that slowly creeps onto my lips. I know for sure that I am happy to see him. I walk closer to him and give him a brief hug. "Not possible matey, your belly is protruding. I would not want to disturb the little warrior in there. From the looks of it, you won't have to wait long till you meet him.""
Summer POVI pride myself on being a werewolf. We are practically gifted with extremely heightened senses. However, right now, I feel as if my sense of sight is failing. When we left barely ten days ago, this place was in total ruins. But now, my eyes must be dysfunctional. This place looks nothing like it was when we left. The three-story upper part of the great hall has been erected. Construction workers, whom I believe to be human are busy at work. Together with just a dozen of our men. How could uncle Luke do this? Honestly, how can he bring humans to our realm soon after the war? Are we not capable enough? How then can our people celebrate the victory if humans are amongst us?Besides, this is not the time for us to interact with humans. We are yet to rebuild and they obviously will question such a big structure hidden in the middle of the jungle. "Calmate mi querida princessa. I am sure uncle Luke would not make such a blunder. There is surely a good explanation for this."Mi
AzaniaSummer POV"Now let us re-cloak him with the invisibility spell. I am sure we all do not want any more surprises. Let's do that before leaving for Azania."Aurora says this through clenched teeth. She is seething mad and she is trying so hard to contain it. As I draw closer to Lucifer so we can perform the spell together, once again, my son stops me. "You have to leave now mama. There is no time and besides, it is way too risky to linger around here. You can cloak him once you reach Azania."Before asking his reason, I once again, mentally convey the message to my crew. No one interjects. I have already told them about the voice. What I did not do, is telling them who exactly is bringing the messages to me. Mother's instinct I guess. Aurora creates the portal and we all step in. Surprisingly, we do not emerge at the great pyramids of Azania. Instead, our destination is some clearance near a vast river. Everyone stares at Aurora with quizzical gazes. "Oh please don't. If we co
IncapacitatedLucifer's POVHe sweeps his huge tail and throws my captors all a distance away. Only grunts, gasps, and growls signify their annoyance and possibly pain."Jormungand quickly come over here. Forget about that human!""Ah, but she looks tasty your Horridness!""Trust me you vile serpent, she is not as simple as you consider her to be. Do you think I would be in this state if she was as simple as a late lunch snack?""You must be growing old and rusty your Vileness. Allow me or else, I will not rescue you."With that, he shuts me out.I try compelling him and it works. Why the hell did I just not do that from the beginning? My mind is getting mushy lately. It must be the bounds. Just as he coils himself around me, the leader of the Seneca must have seen me. That means Jormungand broke the invisibility spell. The Seneca roars with so much rage that his voice echoes. "You deceptive fool! You knew that if I were to get wind of your predicament, I would not help! You will not
