Summer POV
Soon after Sunny told me that it would all become clear in due time, I'd get some clarity on everything I felt like I was sucked into a vortex.
The next instance, I hear voices. I can make out my dad's voice. That alone gives me enough consolation. At least am waking up to a warm welcome.
"Aaah thank the wolf spirits she's up now!"
I try to open my eyes but my vision is kind of blurry. That's definitely uncle Luke. Instantly am crushed in one hell of a bear hug. I try to talk but croak instead. I just feebly raise my hand and lightly tap him on the back.
"Oh sorry darling. Am just so overjoyed to see you back with us. You have no idea how tormenting it was for me!"
My dad exclaims and at the end his voice breaks with emotion. Dr Boyce walks in with a nurse. They do a thorough check on me before removing all the wires and tubes conne
Luke's POV My niece has been unconscious for a while now. Three days to be precise. When I went to the hospital to see her for the first time, I felt her power. After I was sucked into a different time zone, I was made to understand how special she is. I vowed to protect her at all costs. So I had to leave my work with my beta Jose. These past three days I just had to be near my niece. I can sense impending danger. I also know that Dr Boyce feels protective towards Summer as well. My twin Levi has been very emotional. He cannot understand why this always happens when he is not around. He feels like it's his fault. He blames himself. However, Dr Boyce has his own opinion. He says something about Tina feels odd. He says since he joined our pack two years back he's always felt apprehensive towards Tina. So amongst all of us, I know that somehow, Tina's magic couldn't affect him as much as it affects all of us. As an alpha, I
Levi's POVFor three whole days, my baby girl has been lying there unconscious.As for Tina, I don't even think I understand her anymore. Anyway , we deal with grief, pain or loss differently. She's been somewhat detached as if it's not our daughter in this state.Thankfully, Luke has been with me through it all. Dr Boyce has also been of tremendous help. Then there is the issue of my wolf. He's been so negative when it comes to Tina and Carla my little girl. I wouldn't want to believe it but it's as if he's repulsed by them.Just as we were talking, Summer regained her consciousness. After a thorough check by the doctor, she was asked the key question. If she remembers what led her to be in this state. Well, before she responded, her first request was for me to leave the room.I didn't want to eavesdrop but with my heightened sense of hearing, I heard everything just like I was still in the sam
Levi's POVAguanta mi querido va a estar bien."(hang in there my dear it's going to be alright)I heard a small voice but gentle whispering in my head."Summer baby? Is that you?"I ask thinking that it's my daughter though I highly doubt it."Soy yo Selena tu compañera." (It's me Selena your mate).What?? This is incredulous. I have a mate who is not Tina?? Moon goddess, what is going on? Where is my mate? Where has she been? I can tell she's quite powerful. If she can reach me even from a distance the she has some magic. I decided to talk. I can't consult Lee as they are engaged in conversation with Luca. So am on my own right now."If you really are may mate where have you been?If you can reach me that means we have a bond that is strong.That can only be created marked and mated mates.
NarratorLuca and Lee took over their humans and the Luminous Pack went into panic. If their alpha and heard warrior had to retreat and give way to their wolves, then something big was brewing.Unfortunately, Tina was also amongst the panicking pack members. She was afraid that her cover had been blown and she wasn't far from the truth at that.Luna Ella called a meeting of all the members. Everyone was to gather in the great hall. Their alpha had to address his people. It was just before twelve noon that they all were sitted in the great hall. This was a hall they seldom used. It was only used when there was something very important the pack needed to know.The one time they gathered here was decades ago when there was an attack from some vampires and rogues. This hall was built as a safe house and armoury as well. As werewolves, They relied more upon their wolf strength, agility and healing abi
Summer POVAfter narrating all I know now to uncle Luke, he got so mad that it was scary. The killing intent radiating off him was so thick it almost suffocated us.In no time, his wolf Luca took over forcefully. I chuckled a bit. I know all of you will think I have such wry humor to laugh in a situation such as this. No. If you understand werewolves, you'd laugh with me.Normally, our human side is more rational and understanding. That is why we spend most of our lives in human form. But what made me laugh was the fact that, uncle Luke became feral, so much that his irrationality caused Luca to take over!My dad then barged in and announced that which I feared the most. He heard me!! I groaned inside. I did not want him to know just yet. You see, I love my dad so much that I could not bear to see him hurt.He sat there looking so defeated. Suddenly , he started sobbing so hard that even I couldn't stop my tears
Summer's POVAfter the announcement of the looming war, there was unrest in the whole pack.Everyone started training hard. It was intense because we needed everyone ready and strong. The kids were being taught self defense skills and how to escape as well.Sunny was quiet for two days after her revelation. I exercised patience. I knew she would talk to me when she's good and ready. I really needed to talk to her about my biological mother. I wanted to reach her too. And I was quite curious about the so called magic that I possess. Be that as it may, I decided to wait.On the third night that's when she decided to reach to me."Hola mi hija mas querida." (hello my dearest child)I just chuckled lightly. What a drama queen!!"Es hora de aprender sobre la magia que posees.( it's time to learn about the magic you posses)"En resumen, tienes el poder de crear. ( In short, you have the power to
*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
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
