Writer's POV
Three days of calmness and re-strategizing is what Harold had. However, it was not the case with his sworn enemies; the werewolves. They were in mourning. They had lost many in the last battle. Though most of the vampires were slain by Michael, they did a number on the wolves.
The strategy of silver guns was what the wolves did not foresee. As much as they were well prepared or rather believed that they were, guns were not expected. The wolves still needed a solution to the silver guns issue. In case Harold decides to arm himself with the guns.
Harold also lost his own army of mutants. he was equally hurt but still hopeful. As the conniving and sniveling wizard he is, he set to work again. Before escaping from the burning science research facility, Harold had secured all the samples. It was his most priced possession. Therefore, he could not leave it behind. As he already knew how Sid would store, the mixed DN
Summer POVAs Lesedi, Mtungagore and my mother pledge their loyalty and promises to stand by me, my heart swells with an immense love for them. These people are my family and instead of being jealous of the power I posses, they are happy and proud to be by my side.Uncle Luke, my dad and aunty Ella, are beaming. I can feel waves of love and pride oozing off them. They also promise to be with me through it all. I decide to tell them about Sunny and Seraphim. Till now, I had not told anyone about Lucifer trapping Sunny and Seraphim." So guys, ahem, umm, I have something to tell you all. Lesedi you might not be aware but everyone else here knows."I pause momentarily just to gauge their reaction. I know that even what I just said does not sound coherent even to myself. I twirl my hair with my finger nervously. Not so sure how my family will receive the news. After all I have kept this to myself. They mig
Summer POVFor the love of me, I cannot live like this! I look at my aunt, uncle dad and mum. They are all trying to be supportive and soothe my nerves. It is working because they are literally oozing waves of love. I lean on my aunt and take a deep breath. Sighing, I relax into her embrace. I feel so calm now and rational."Great Luna, we are all here and as council elders, we also want to be helpful. We are going to research on all we know about your abilities and see how best we can help you chanel and control them. From my observation, it seems as if you only display your power mainly if you have a surge of negative emotions. Therefore, if you may allow us to take our leave, we will be back in the morning with a solution. You need to rest for a while."Elder Mendes shocks me yet again. There is so much humility and respect in his tone. It is almost as if he has reverence for me. I look in his eyes and the eyes of the other elder.
Summer POV"Your majesty, holy oil and the lance of Micheal are Lucifer's weaknesses. Get that, and you can trap him. My utmost gratitude to you for this opportunity. Thank you for this chance to meet again, for me these few minutes are more than enough. Remember, get the lance of Michael and holy oil if you want to stop Lucifer. "With that he bows and leaves. It is only when elder Merlin nudges me lightly that I see they are all ready to go. All the wolves in the meadow are back in wolf form. They're howling in so much joy and I look at the elders faces. Each one has a glow I have not seen before. They are happy and I sight in contentment. With the last if my strength, I bring them back."Summer, elders, what happened to you people? You were just entranced their and unresponsive for a while. Almost seven minutes! We could not feel your presence either."Uncle Luke fusses but I only weakly smile and slump down on my bed.
Summer POV"Hola Sunny, is that really you? Am I not dreaming? Are you really free? Seraphim? Are you here my pure and lovely angel? Are you guys really free from Lucifer's clutches? Oh my goddess, you guys...""Reduzca la velocidad querida.Por supuesto, somos realmente nosotros. Nos liberaste querida"(Slow down dear. Of course it's really us. You freed us my dear.)Though Sunny sounds fatigued, I can still detect the pride and smugness in her tone. At this stage I am beyond happy. I so dearly missed these guys. They are a part of me after all. I dread to think of what would have become of me had I failed to free them. Tears of joy stream down my face. I look up and mumble a prayer of thanks to the gods. I had been secretly wallowing in despair. However, all that is of the past now."Summer darling, quickly go and get us some food. I am famished and we need to replenish our strength. Very soon Lucife
Summer POVHe sighs and continues rocking the sobbing Summer in his arms. A light bulb lights up in my head. Of course, he knew. This damned god of trickery! Hermes must have found out earlier about this gift of Tania's but kept it secret! As her mate, he should have prepared her.I get up from my seat and take two strides towards them. I slap him hard on the face and he is startled."What the heck for Summer?""Shut up you damned god of trickery!"Slap!"This is for keeping such a secret from your mate and my friend!"Slap!"This is for feigning ignorance and intending to keep it even after Seraphim pointed that out!"Slap!"This is for withholding useful information that could ensure the safety of all creatures in the universe."Slap! Slap!"I am taking my friend away from you, you treacherous immortal excuse of a god!""Enough, my queen. Please.""Le
Summer POV"Oh my goodness, they are coming!"Tania screams clutching her head."Who Tania? Who is coming?"Hermes questions but Tania seems not to hear him. She keeps swaying side to side murmuring things we cannot fully discern."It's daybreak. The sun is barely up and they are here. No. No it's not this place. Oh God Summer! You have to help your brother Lenny. Help him they are eating everyone up in their way. What are they Summer? Please tell me what are they?""It's alright Tania, tell me how they look like and we can figure it out. Tell me dear. We are in this together.""Oh, your stepmother and your siblings have escaped. They have a secret tunnel in the house. Do not worry about Lenny anymore. Those look extremely large with pitch black wings. They look like dragons and also some look like dinosaurs. Oh God, they are ruthless!"Tania shudders and Sunny says I should block her vis
Michael's POVI watch as my mate waltzes towards me in her flaming red dress. She looks otherworldly. Especially her snow white long hair that reaches her lower back. I noticed it when I woke up but I did not ask. After all that has happened, nothing fazes me anymore.There is a maturity to her that is strongly alluring. When I met Summer, she was only sixteen and very reserved. However, the mate bond helped a lot in diminishing her shyness. I guess that all the suffering she endured made her stronger and more matured. My beautiful mate has blossomed into a very charming and elegant she wolf. Her beauty is unparalleled. I dare not think of a life without her.Lost in my thoughts, I watch her apply light make up whilst sitting in front of the mirror. Even without make up, there is no doubt that she is the most beautiful she wolf ever to grace the universe with her existence. Without realizing it, I let out a low growl of lu
Writer's POVAs the wolves were enjoying their feast peacefully, the enemy was approaching. Lucifer has always been cunning and conniving. He is a force to be reckoned with.Lucifer decided to go and attack the wizard realm first. He was so angry because Harold tried to defile what he considers his. Harold was relaxed thinking that he had concealed his realm well. It might have been so, had he not snatched what is not his.His witches took the demon that had impesonated Summer and absorbed its dark energy. That demon belonged to Lucifer, thereby making it easy for him to locate the wizard realm.Whilst the wolves were enjoying their feast, Lucifer attacked the wizard realm at dawn. This was the time when most of the wolves were retiring to bed. Save for the elders, the Reynolds and the Royales, no other wolf knew about the visions Tania had.The elders had already taken a few steps to ensure that they track Lucifer's movements.
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
