Michael POV
I 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
Summer POVMy heart clenches. I know she is not human but still treating her like this is inhumane. I gulp down but still my tears fall down. I have the compulsion to hug her and I do. She hesitates a bit then hugs me too. I openly sob on her shoulder."I am so sorry Gabby. No one has to be treated like that.""It was ok when it was just master Sid and I. But Harold and the Russians also want my services. More so than master Sid. Sometimes they dismember me when they are at it. I don't feel pain but I know that it is not how you treat a person who gives you pleasure. Master Sid does not do that and he doesn't touch me anymore. Maybe that you are here, they will want you too."Shoot! This is a blow. I let go of her and start shivering. I cannot let it get that far. I cannot let them defile me. It will not happen. I have to get out of here. With or without Sunny, I will get out. I am interrupted by the banging on the door.&
The AttackWriter's POVWhen the demon disguised as Summer entered the Luminous Pack grounds, the protective barrier weakened greatly. As she had claimed to have a blood bond with Lucifer, Mtungagore hesitated to kill her. They feared that once Lucifer felt the blood bond snapping, he would then kill Summer. However, keeping her alive, though restrained, was a huge blunder.In the wee hours of the day, a week after Summer was abducted and Michael regained consciousness, the vampires and witches attacked the wolves.Thankfully, alpha Luke and his twin brother warrior Levi, had insisted on the warriors patrolling, irrespective of the fact that, Summer had put up a protective barrier. Hence, they were able to react quick when they noticed the enemy approaching.There was no time to go and warn others. they just had to mindlink them as the fight already commenced. Most of the Lunas were quick to usher the elderly and t
Writer's POVThose who were close to the prince of werewolves saw how he wielded his own magic. They saw how his anger made him halt the time. A new ability in him was born.However, after the witches and the few remaining vampires retreated, the wolves had no time to celebrate. The injured had to be tended to and a couple of warriors could not make it. They died as they reached the infirmary.Luke, Levi, the elders and the royal family had to call for an emergency meeting. There was no more denying that the war had started. They had to intensify their border patrol as well as restock the safe house."If these bloodsuckers' could use injections with wolfsbane, silver and their venom, what can stop them from bringing guns the next time?"Michael posed a critical question to the crew in the meeting room. There were growls that shook the whole room miserably. Unfortunately, there was no denying it.
