Alpha Luke POV
Hearing Hannah narrate the horrors she has been through, tugs at my heartstrings. No child should ever go through such mental extortion all alone.
We all listen attentively, as she narrates. After some time, I ask if she knows the names of all the enemy alphas.
"Do you know all the alphas whose allegiance is with the dark lord?""Yes Alpha. I know them all. In fact, the plan was to ambush everyone during the night. They were supposed to enter, and with the help of dark magic and vampires, they would slaughter the whole pack as you sleep."
"Moon Goddess! Exactly what have we done to Harold? And Tina? I just cannot believe her!"
My mate Ella literally snarls. I can see she is pissed. So, as we were planning our Alpha meeting, they were planning an ambush? Now they have to re-strategize. Now that we know those who cannot enter are enemies, we have an upper hand. What exactly did Harold promise them? Power? Wealth? What? I am
Miguel's POVWhen my human felt the pain from our mate being tortured, he retreated. He felt like a failure. He gave up. However, he did not know that we had a plan.That time I also felt my mate call out to me. She had retreated to her realm. It is from there, that she reached out for me. At that point, my human lost consciousness. I reached Sunny's Realm and I was filled with awe and admiration. Hee beauty and the beautiful scenery that surrounded her were a sight to behold. Unfortunately, I had to wait a while before I could even talk to her. She has surrounded herself with a bubble. It was clear yes, but when I drew closer, the energy it was emitting was foreboding. Even as her mate, I could not pass that barrier.She was sitting with her eyes closed as if she was meditating. Whatever it was, I knew it has to be very important. She was so engrossed in her meditation, that disturbing her, felt like commiti
Summer's POVAfter Grandpa dearest struck me I lost consciousness. However, something more chilling awaited me.Seraphim was waiting for me in what I presumed, was her own realm. This time she has no gown. She has only wings to cover her nakedness. The brightness surrounding her was blinding. I could not bear to look at her twice. I guess she noted that, then she waved her hands and adjusted the brightness, to a tolerable level. After that, she beckoned me and I took painful steps closer.In her realm, I could at least walk but my whole body was in pain. She noticed me wincing then she gasped and spoke."My apologies little one. I had forgotten that your body has been battered badly."She waved her hands and I found my body in mid air gravitating towards her. Amazingly, I was lying on a fluffy bed which was floating towards the mighty angel."Just lie down there let me take ca
Harold Hades POVI cannot believe that the stupid warlock deflected my spell.How and why he decided to come to Summer's defense beats. Because he struck me, I cannot lie, he left me injured.Mtungagore is stronger than he is letting out. He thinks I do not know but I know. I need to put him at ease so he can freely showcase his talent. Anyway, right now, I need to know the progress everyone is making.Tina was supposed to have arrived but still no word. I told her to leave that godforsaken pack and return home with the kids. Everything is supposed to go down tonight after the alpha meeting. They will not see this one coming.Those stupid Alphas will do anything for power and wealth. They agreed to slaughter their own kind just to please me. I smile calmly. I can already smell victory.I have no worries because that one is well planned and I am certain it will be well executed. Oh I need to rescue
Tina's POVAfter dad advised me to leave the Luminous Pack grounds, I did just that. However, I did not go to his house. I went straight to Ray. Why not? He is my mate and father of my children after all.I wanted the kids go get time with their dad first before him meddling. Yes he meddles. He always does.Anyway, I has done my part and done it well. Upon deciding to go back, I discovered a barrier. Yes, an invisible barrier that just ensured I could not enter the Luminous Pack grounds. Disgruntled, I sent Hannah a message. So she could tell das of this new development. When she told him, he said it must have been erected by Summer. My blood boiled to the point of tipping over, upon hearing this!Why is it always Summer who disrupts my plans? Almost perfectly set plans? This i definitely cannot stomach. I asked Hannah what father said should be the solution. She said only Summer's blood can grant us access to the L
Disrupted Plans Part 3Mtungagore POVI could not help but appraise that little wolf Miss with awe. No prisoner has ever managed to break out of Hades clutches. This realm is well fortified. Once you enter here, you have to be granted permission to leave. Even I cannot leave without permission.As it is, I am not a prisoner thus it is easy for me to move around. This is the very reason why I have been hiding the full potential of my powers. Harold Hades is a difficult man. If he feels threatened, he easily snaps. I would not want to instigate a battle with him in his own realm. In neutral grounds, I have zero fear of this vile offspring of Satan. I am sure this, he knows that is why he is very guarded around me.I am sure that since a lot has happened that has caused holes in his plans, he will either make rushed decisions or re-strategize. Either way, his plans have been disrupted already. I decided to sit back and see how Harold the great would co
Unknown POVHarold Hades and his daughter has to stop their banter, regroup and re-strategize. There was no more denying that they had overestimated their plan and sadly, underestimated a worthy opponent. Because of their rashness, chaos befell their faction.Those Alphas and their betas were now at the mercy of the wolves. They wee still ignorantly waiting for a signal from Tina, who at this te was equally stupefied by the unexpected turn of events. Their ignorance was both baffling and infuriating. The fact that they has been granted permission to enter and still remained outside was enough to raise suspicion. Even if the other alphas and the Luminous Pack alpha were oblivious to their real intentions, they were bound to be suspicious. As they felt that Harold was powerful enough to defeat everyone else, they were quite at ease. They gathered around and played blaring loud music from their cars and took out drank whatever alcohol they had brought
Preparing For WarLuke POVI am sure I was visibly distraught. I felt as if bile was rising from the put of my belly and clogged up mythroat. I just could not stomach it. How could I have not seen it?My own gamma and beta? The ones I trusted with mine, my family's and the pack lives! I was dining with the devil everyday!I let out such a ferocious growl that startled every one. I was beside myself with pure rage! I was shaking and almost on the verge of shifting. I wanted to shred them to pieces right there. At that point even Ella's touch could not calm me. I wanted to see those filthy traitors' blood flow in this great hall. I leapt and shifted mid air. I knocked out the two warriors who were restraining my beta. I then faced him snarling dangerously. He bowed deeply baring his neck submissively. But I wasn't having it. I wanted blood. I pinned him down and just as I was about to bite his head off I was stopped.&
Unknown POVThere was no more doubting the power that Summer possess.Everyone could not deny the powerful aura that surrounded her. Nor could they deny the fact that the throne literally embraced her.A throne they did not even know of its existence!To a lot of the wolves present, especially the older generation, this was a dream come true. They had nothing but awe, admiration and intrigue for Summer. They knew that Summer was a strong willed young lass. They also knew that for her to be blessed with such power, she has to have a big heart. A heart that embraces compassion, virtuousness, empathy, sympathy, forgiveness and love. This moved them more, for they knew that she was a rare gem. Even though they did not know her full story, they knew that she has been fully tried and tested and passed.After the traitors had been secured and those Alphas had been teleported to their respective packs, by Teddy, Lunch was served. Though it was
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
