I took days recreating and readjusting the existing spell into one thats much more darker and stronger.When i was cock sure that i had perfected the spell,I decided to go and see Tina.

Writer's POVAfter Harold and ensured that Lenny had shifted back to his human form, he's anger resume once again. He decided to follow the wolves that he had escaped. Harold knew that they would only head for the Luminous pack. With a renewed zeal and zest for revenge, Harold teleported himself right to the Luminous Pack borders.He could not accept defeat. He could not accept the fact that, mere wolves or rather, stupid mutts as he loves to refer them, had outwitted him. Hell, they had even rendered his powers useless. How did they escape his stronghold?He had ensured that their wolves were suppressed as well. However, in spite of all his precautions, the wolves still managed to escape. Harold's anger rose to unimaginable magnitudes. This was plainly unacceptable. He had faced many worthy opponents in his days, never had he been outwitted by those whom he considered lower and useless than him. To him, wolves where nothing. They held no power nor

Rescuing The RoguesUnknown POVAfter agreeing that they both had to follow Harold and try to dissuade him from carrying his mission through, Mtungagore left to his quarters. He had to gather a few things as per his response to Tina's quizzical stare.Once he reached his residence, he immediately set to work. He knew that they would definitely need the blessed wolf's intervention in order to successfully contain Harold. He just hoped she would decipher his message before it's too late. He had already delved into the little Missy's soul and knew how much she loved her kind. He knew that she was looking for a way to reach out to the rogues and give them ah chance to live normal lives. Therefore, he knew that she would immediately come to his aid without any hesitation.With a wave of his staff, he summoned the bees. He gave them an instruction and clocked them in an invisibility spell. After that, he sent them to the Luminous Pac
Unknown POVAfter Sunny alpha commanded Darius and Ethan to stop fighting, everyone present was perturbed. She indeed was the alpha of alphas. There was no questioning or doubting the strength that she possessed. All the rogues bowed and submitted. Without any force or coercion, it was sealed that these wolves were saved.Alpha Luke took the liberty to warn Darius of the impending danger from Harold Hades. Darius was infuriated and he just could not wrap his mind over the betrayal of Harold. However, once a traitor, always a traitor. Indeed, he was angry that Harold was planning on killing them as but a part of him still did not want to believe it He hated pack life. He hated the pack hierarchy as well as the rules. His former pack banished him when he hadn't committed any crime. The only crime was being mated to the alphas daughter. He remembers the pain if rejection and all that happened as if it were yesterday. The memory was always a fresh wound
Rescuing The Rogues 3Darius POVI had to force myself to not think about what happened with me and Hailey. I have not given myself the privilege to dwell on that part of my life for the lady fourteen years. Being in the presence of this wolf is making me weak. It's bringing back the long buried memories. I don't like it one bit. Anger and frustration takes over. I hate pack life. Why do they have to remind me?I growl in frustration and then I catch sight of the two notorious wolves. I had punished them before but when I saw them, my anger got amplified.These two idiots think that being a rogue is all about being senseless and monstrous. I glance behind them and see a teenage wolf sobbing and ruffled up. She was limping. I take a whiff of the air and I smell blood and semen. I see red instantly. How dare they rape her!"Rango and Tango! How dare you!" In no time I was holding them up by their throats. Claws extended, I dug deeper. By now th
Darius POVFlashback ContinuesI had been feeling anxious since the time I woke up. Dan's anxiety was equally the same. His being more potent and therefore making me almost have a panic attack. I swear if I was not a strong warrior, this sinking feeling could have caused me both an anxiety and panic attack.It did not take long for me to confirm the worst ever news one should receive in this life. The intensity of the impact was worsened by the fact that I was the cause of my loss. Now you must know that as wolves, we bond. We have a deeper connection than that of humans or witches and wizards. There is a pack bond, this allows you to communicate with all other pack members through mindlink. Then there's the family bond, this one can tell you if one is gone. You feel the pain of the bond snapping. You will know who it is by it's intensity. The one you're closest to hurts the most. You can almost visualize their cause of death due to the pain
Darius POVFlashback ContinuesI just laid there shell shocked to death. I definitely could not have killed the whole pack. I tried reaching out to Dan but he had blocked me. How could I massacre the whole pack like this? I could not stomach the idea of having killed pups and females. I let out a mournful howl. Then I remembered the egoistical alpha bragging that all pups and females were in the dungeons. Together with the members that dared oppose him.I wipe off my tears and sprint into the pack house. I go through to the alpha's office and rummage through his desk till I find the Keys. I know the way since I was the second top warrior. My dad was first. I spiral down the staircase that leads to the dungeons. I mindlink all the members. Because I killed Vince, automatically, the alpha powers transfer to me. I instruct them all to stand by their doors. The bars are made of silver so I grab a pair of worn out leather gloves from the guards changing
Darius POVI am still howling in pain as well as anger. Mourning my family who were burnt to ashes by this deranged wizard who then triggers my utmost anger at what he says next."Get up you foolish mongrel and hand over my wolves to me."I see red. A Complete and absolute crimson tidal wave of rage consumes me and I barrel bout of the barrier. My aim is to kill. To ultimately obliterate this vile offspring of the devil. I want to overwhelm my taste buds with his cursed blood. I can hear someone else following and trying to tell me to stop but I am a stubborn wolf. The stupid wizard guffaws and commands his daughter and the warlock to let him go."You damned warlock! Tina! Just let me go and finish this mutts. Damnit Mtungagore, let go of my hands. Keep the wand if you must but release me now!""Dad! You better get a grip of yourself. We need these wolves remember? Now in your rashness, you have messed up a plan you spent
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
