Michael POV
Miguel has been restless since the talk of restoration of the veil started. I can feel him growling and pacing around so much that it has taken a lot for me to suppress him.As a supreme alpha wolf, of royal blood at that, he is very possessive of his mate. I could feel his apprehension rise tenfold when he knew that Summer would have to touch Hermes's head to access his memories.
As for me, well, I do not like it but I know it is necessary for me to subdue my anger and possessiveness as well as suppress my wolf.My heart sank when I noticed the mischievous glint in Hermes's eyes. Somehow, I knew that he wasn't going to make it easy for us at all. I wanted to warn Summer to be careful with him, but unfortunately, the moment he stepped into the magical circle, I could not mindlink my princess.
It has been about ten minutes now since Summer accessed Hermes's memories. However, what is eating me up is the fact that I can no l
Treacherous Trickery 2Hermes POVI have to recreate the past. I know for sure that, that white wolf is trying to push for dominance. I also know that because of that, Aurora has not fully taken over Summer's body. The wolf must have kept a part of her memory.Though she is trying to hide it, I can feel her uneasiness. She is struggling to cope. However, I have to ensure that I make her fully mine tonight. Centuries ago, this is the very night that I and Autora bonded. She gave herself to me and I to her. She gave to me her chastity and purity. Her heart and soul. Therefore, it is only fair that I get back what is fully mine."What is on your mind dear? You are unusually quiet today. Is it the battle with the trolls that is now taking a toll on you? Or are you hiding something from me?"I am startled by the last part of her sentence. Can she tell that something is amiss with me? Of course, she is a part of me and she can tell if something is wrong with
Breaking The SpellMichael POVIn as much as this situation is complicated and heart-wrenching for me, I have to take my hat off to Hermes. Never in my wildest imagination would I ever expect him to be this vile. But hey, in a way, I should have expected it. We all should have expected him to be not so simple. He is a god of trickery after all. Almost a year has passed with Hermes dwelling amongst us. Truly speaking, he has become like family to all of us. Summer looked to him as a brother and his being mated to Tania, strengthened their relationship. I shudder at how devastated Summer will be when she learns the truth. What baffles me more is why Aurora chose to help Hermes in tricking us. Is there some kind of feud between the werewolves and witches, that might have happened before? Why would Autora choose Summer only to betray her and all of us? Honestly, this is a major setback for all of us. As it is, the human realm is in chaos as Lucifer and his minions
Breaking The Spell 2Michael POVI love the scent emanating from the blooming flowers. This meadow is magical. The air is fresh and the scenery, breathtaking. Somehow, the mixed fragrances from the different flowers are working magic on me. It is soothing and calming me down. The anger just subsides and o profound and inexplicable peace engulfs me. Both of us feel the calming effect of the fragrance.Miguel inhales deeply and I can feel him relax. Through his eyes, I spot a pathway. Without looking closely, it is difficult to see it. It is completely covered by flowers. "¿Estás ahi hijo?" (Are you there son?)"Si, Estoy Aqui Miguel." ( Yes, I am here Miguel.)"Este Lugar es magico! Estoy Seguro de que Este es el Reino de Magica." (This place is magical! I am sure this is the kingdom of Magica.)I feel the excitement in Miguel's voice. We do not need telling to know that we are on the right track. I, for one, will worry about how we managed to t
Inner ConflictMichael POV"You will not despise our mate Hijo. I will not allow it."Miguel all but barks orders to me. However, no matter what, the repulsion I am feeling towards Summer is immense and all-consuming. "I cannot believe that she, of all people, would fall for this lecherous trickster. She is my mate and is supposed to love only me Miguel!""Well, lo Siento mi Querido niño,(I am sorry my dear boy) but I will not allow you to hurt her more. We need to heal her, not to break her even further. This damage the god has done to her, it will need you, her fated and true mate, to reach out to her. Now quit sulking and try to reconnect with our mate!"The nerve of this wolf! How dare he orders me around to protect a traitor? What crappy luck is this? I am beginning to believe that Miguel is delusional. Anyway, what would I expect from a wolf? Befitting ignorance for a predator. He must be dreaming."With all due respect Miguel.
Compromising For The Greater GoodMichael's POVShe looks thoroughly bewildered. Of course she cannot believe me. Why would she anyway, when she seems me a wretched beast? Nothing I will say or do will break through to her. I look her straight in the eye to ensure she sees I am telling the truth. Her bewilderment, a clear indication that she has no recollection of the events that led to all this. She heaves and then walks over to Hermes. She bends down and starts chanting some strange language, obviously a spell. Hermes gasps and regains his consciousness. Which leaves me to wonder why he succumbed to the pain when he is clearly able to abate it. "So, the mighty Hermes, the do called god of trickery cannot heal himself now huh? Pray, tell me Hermes, are you now playing the innocent mortal guy here?""No beast. Of course I know my love's true identity. However, I created a spell to limit the strength of one's true form in this place. In other word
Michael POVShe is feisty and right now, she is livid. I can tell that she is a woman of principle and Hermes has just broken one if not more of her principles. I like that about her. Oddly enough, I feel that I can work with her with no squabbles. I watch her stare at Hermes, a raging storm building in her eyes. She starts chanting again, her body swaying side to side. At the same time, the room temperature drops to an unbearable degree. I see something that I had never seen before. Fear in Hermes's eyes. The god of trickery is terrified and he is not hiding it. He trembles as he painstakingly pulls out the ice pick from his thigh. He grunts and almost passes out from the pain. "I am sorry Aurora. I did it for love. I saw the opportunity and I grabbed it. I just wanted to be with you. Please understand my queen.""Just wanted to be with me? At what cost Hermes? Surely you want to find happiness after destroying someone else? You snatch thi
Michael POVI watch her saunter out of the room gracefully and I scoff inwardly. How can she act so normal when she has just sentenced Hermes to a century of torture? Witches sure are a weird race. I race after her and catch up with her by the stairs. I have a lot of questions to ask but I decide against it. She might be looking calm but the way she is clenching her jaws says otherwise. She is still mad and I am not ready to be put in a meat grinder for a century. Who can dispute that? She is capable of anything after all. "I can feel your apprehension little wolf. It is tainting the air I breathe. Loosen up, I do not bite. Rather, should I not be the one being wary of you? After all, you are a predator. Your aura says it all. You are a high-ranked wolf."She is right you know. However, I still cannot shake off the torture that Hermes is going through. I gulp and force a smile as I walk closer to her. "So, my lady, where are we going?""Anyw
Alone And Afraid Summer POVI do not know how Hermes managed to mind link me but it gave me a very bad premonition. A big part of me at that time just wanted to back off but the responsibility thrust upon me made me strong. However, right now, I wish I had paid heed to my instincts. Hermes is a trickster and he has just tricked all of us. The moment I touched him, I felt like being sucked into a vortex. Everything became dark and I felt as if I was being pushed further away into my subconscious. Initially, I thought that it was Sunny fighting me for control. However, this felt like a forceful takeover. Nothing that she has ever done before. I tried to reach Seraphim but the void I felt was as if she has never been there. Neither could I feel Sunny as well. I panicked but at the same time decided to be strong. When we got to the land of Magica. I still could control my body and movements. Automatically, I knew that Hermes was up to no good. Whe
