*Mastering The Elements*
Summer's POV
"Remember always that mental strength is a much greater and formidable weapon. So perfect that first then everything becomes what you younglings call a walk in the park."These words keep ringing in my mind. Sunny is right. Looking back, I realize that my monster mum, Tina knew this very well. She had her way of thwarting this very vital part of any being. The mind.
It's not a joke to have your memories erased! I really need to work on my mental strength. If truly there is s a war and I need to lead my kind to victory, then I certainly cannot be a weakling! I have to work extra hard. In as much as I don't want to carry such a huge responsibility, I cannot fight destiny. It's my destiny. It's my fate.
I clear all other thoughts from my mind and let Sunny lead me. In her thick accent, she starts explaining to me that which I should know about the elements."Now I need you to
Sunny POVI must say that when her majesty came to me and told me that I had to live amongst humans again, I flinched inside.You see, I am equally powerful. I was the first ever wolf to be created. That makes me more powerful. When I was created, the moon goddess granted me power and Her Majesty gave me magic. She then bestowed upon me the task of ensuring that there was balance in the universe. Along with the gift of immortality.So, I cannot lie. There came a time when power got to my head and I totally forgot that there was a higher power above me. I forgot all about compassion, empathy and love. I exacted capital punishment even for the slightest mistake. I despised other races. I despised what I dubbed "my clones", the other werewolves. They had to be born human and only meet their wolf at the age of sixteen. Whereas I could shape shift into whatever form I liked.Gradually, I forgot my purpose a
Gunther's POV/Biology TeacherIt's been two years since I was moved to the Luminous High school.The Luminous Pack Alpha Luke and his twin are very good people. I moved here solely for a mission. I am no teacher, but I was an Acer in sciences so teaching biology for me was just a piece of cake.You see, our crown prince has been looking for his mate for years now. It has been a whole five years of him searching. We searched high and low to no avail. So it was decided that maybe his mate wasn't of age yet. Therefore, ten of us were deployed into schools in and around. Far and wide. I was the furthest from home.Our mission was to last only two years. In these two years, I had an Unexplainable Pull Towards one little girl. She is the alpha's niece. Warrior Levi's daughter, Summer.However, for me I thought that was because of the fact that the first time I met her two years back, she was wheelchair bound. I just thoug
*An Apple Doesn't Fall Far From The Tree*So Since the alpha wolves took over their humans, it has been about a fortnight now.That is something that has not happened in a very long time. Yes they were in human form but with the wolf in control. The Luminous Pack members were put through a very gruelling training program. Every member young and old alike, had to learn close combat skills as well as defense and flight.Meanwhile, they decided to notify all the other alphas. The king decided that it was a state of emergency. An urgent meeting was called. All the alphas were to meet at the Luminous Pack grounds. This was so because it boasted the largest hall the world over.This is because in the days of ancient, this was a royal pack. It was actually a palace. Over the years they had refurbished and modified the pack house it no longer has the palace look.Of course none of them knew.On the other hand, Tin
Unknown POVWhen Harold left, Tina had an all consuming rush of adrenaline. Her confidence was restored and boosted ten notches higher.Knowing that she could get back to interacting with the dark lord at will, she felt invincible. As she went about her daily routine, she had a cunning smirk on her face. Her whole countenance exuded unparalleled confidence. If one could look closely, they would not miss the vicious glint in her eyes.She decided to halt awhile and look back. She needed to analyze each of her prior moves and see where she lost it. She was determined to see to it that she emerged the winner."Tsk tsk. I am the only daughter of the greatest wizard of our time. In the witches world, Harold is not a name to be trifled with. I am a go getter. I never lose. What I want I always get!!"She was growling by the time she ended her declaration."Like my dad said. I have to identify their weakest link and attack.
Harold's POVI Harold Hades is not considered the Great Wizard for nothing.I have survived the war and lived through centuries. I am certainly the best of my kind and proudly believe that we are far more superior than any other living thing. I am invincible and cannot be trifled with. Whoever will want to come up against me should know that I am a Formidable Foe.The mere thought that someone in that God forsaken pack of wolves can be more powerful than me, is making my blood boil. The anger coursing through my blood is irrepressible.No!! I cannot have it! Never!It has caused me many a sleepless nights. I have always been a winner and a step ahead of my enemies. I have eyes and ears in every corner of the universe. I made sure to cover every nook and cranny. I planted my minions in all territories. The werewolf, vampire and human territories.You see, greedy is every living creature's weakness. Therefore, it'
Harold's POVMy daughter had successfully completed her first task and had one of the wolves wrapped around her little finger.She had done me proud as a father. We have always known that it is rare for wolves to bear twins. If they do, those would be most powerful. However, back in the day, when this happened, the twins would be of royal blood. However, this Time they were born in just a strong pack.Anyway, Tina paid me a visit and gave me the shock of my life. Like I said, to this day I am still baffled.*Flashback*I was sitting on my back porch enjoying the evening breeze, when she barged in." Papa, I need your help please."" Well, hello to you too daughter dearest long time no see."I glared at her shunning her disrespect."Oh Papa I am sorry for barging in like this. It's just that, this time I fear, I might have bitten off more than I can che
Harold's POVDamn it to hell!.How could I Harold Hades be easily fooled like this?How could I have overlooked such important little details? The humans have an idiom that says,"the devil is in the details."I feel highly and deeply offended. Even the lowly creatures such as the humans have better insight! Why in the Hades name did I brush off Tina's concern about summer when she was barely a toddler? I could have paid more attention to it and saved myself this headache.The signs were there but I brushed It off. The Damned prophecy!!I never gave it much thought at all. Why would I when I clearly am the most powerful being alive?"Unto the wolf kind twin alphas will be born. The eldest will denounce the throne to be a wanderer, a warrior. Unto them a child will be born. Through her I Rhea will be reincarnated. To eradicate turmoil, despair, greedy, hos
Lee's POVIt's been almost a fortnight my twin Luca and I took over our humans and the affairs of the Pack.The enemy has gained an upper hand and It's too damn frustrating. Had my mate not reached out I might still have been in the dark.Thankfully, her Highness (Summer's wolf), is strong and because of her we were liberated from the clutches of the evil one. Unfortunately, that was not the case with our human side. The spells and curses affected them more. This is because usually, they only give us control mostly when the situation requires a more ferocious approach. So half the time they are just humans with heightened senses. So yes, the spells affected us too but on a lesser level than that which they were affected.My twin and I were freed of the spell the when we touched Summer the time she was unconscious. Yes, we were freed on different times. Luca was freed first as he was nearer. However, we were warned not to reveal to our humans t
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
