Unknown POV
There 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
Prince Michael POV"Everyone needs compassion. Lest you forget, the enemy has the power to manipulate. I need to give them back their freewill before we condemn them. My job is to save not to server."These words kept ringing in my head. To say I am proud of my mate is an understatement. She surpassed all my expectations. She is much more than I ever hoped for. For this, I am extremely grateful to the Moon Goddess. I could have never asked for anything else. Summer is the full package. I would trade all I have, just to have her right by my side. Forgiving those who hurt you, is a sign of sheer strength. Not everyone possesses that kind of power. Only a few chosen ones do.When she embraced Ethan Gray, I saw strength. I saw maturity. I saw a great leader. I saw a loving Luna. She did it because as our Luna, she feels all our emotions. She is especially attuned to all our negative emotions. She indirectly taught all of us the power of forgiveness. Th
Michael POVAfter my mate explained to me about her plan, I realized that I really did not know my mate at all.We only met for a brief moment then she was snatched from me. Then today, she just popped out of nowhere and went straight to leader mode.I have to make sure that I spend some quality time with her. Ever since I came to the Luminous Pack, everything has been quite hectic. I look at my mate who is resting her head on my shoulder and I can see she is quite exhausted. I surprise her when I lift her up suddenly. She squeals happily and inhales my scent. I carry her bridal style and walk over to where her father and uncle where discussing some stuff. I clear my throat to get their attention. I can see the surprise when they see me carrying Summer, but they try to mask it."Alpha Luke, Warrior Levi. I am humbly asking for your permission to take your precious daughter away."Their expressions darke
Michael POV"I am comfortable with you but I want you to know it all. Therefore, I shall speak."This she said resolutely with such determination that I knew there was no stopping her.She stares deeply into my eyes for a while. I extend my hand and with my thumb, I smoothen the worry lines on her face. She smiles and held my other hand with both of hers." Like I said earlier, I did not have it easy from the word go. I am sure that Tina and Harold really did not know of my true power. They just wanted to break me. To ensure that I would forever be weak.""You are anything but weak mi querida princessa."I cut her off. feeling the need to reassure her.Again she smiles weakly and carries on. As she talks, I take in her whole appearance. I have no idea what good I did in my past life to be bestowed such a breathtakingly beautiful mate. I see no flaws. All I see is beauty. Radiant beauty from the inside
Michael POVI am literally bawling right now. I am crying because of anger. Anger because my mate suffered so much and no one was there for her. I cannot take anymore but I also cannot stop her. She needs to talk it all out.I could not help it. It just was too much to bear. I could feel the trauma she went through as she narrates her story to me. It was literally suffocating. I can not stop my tears from flowing. We hold each other and cry our hearts out. After a while I stop and wipe off the tears. I cradle her some more whilst giving her peppery kisses all over her face and head. Gradually, the sobbing stopped. Her eyes are a bit puffy from all the crying and her face is red."Let me run some water for you mi princessa. I will put some bath salts and essential oil to soothe you. Then I will go and grab something for you to eat. No objections. I saw that you did not eat well down there."She just looks at me and smile. Her smile is so radiant, i
Summer Opens Up Part 3Michael POVWe kissed until we were almost out of breath. We broke the kiss and my mate was panting. I am enthralled by her heaving chest. I watch as it moves up and down. I try so hard to suppress the sexual urge attacking me. She looks so sexy in this state. But I know she is not yet ready. Therefore I ignore the urges.I close my eyes hoping she has not seen them darken with the desire that has consumed me. Miguel is not helping at all as he is a horny bastard himself. He is fighting me for control. I stand up abruptly and in a guttural voice I excuse myself."Pardon me Milady. I suddenly feel so hot. A dive into the lake will do"I rush into the lake and dive in. I let the cool water dampen the raging desire burning me. I stay under water for a while. When I could no longer hold my breath, I swim to the surface.I am surprised to see Summer swimming towards me. When she sees
Michael POVAs Summer spoke about all she went through. I no longer feel sad about all that. I am astounded by the strength she yields.All the pain she went through, she still did not break. All I feel is awe and admiration. I turn around and kiss my mate. It was a slow and sensual kiss. I conveyed all my feelings through that kiss. I broke the kiss and caressed her face hoping that she feels the love for her that consumes me. She draws closer and rests her head on my shoulder."When I accepted Ethan's rejection, I thought I would feel satisfied but I was wrong. I felt his pain when the mate bond snapped. He howled in so much pain and hopelessness. Even his family could not soothe his anguish. I went back to my room but guess what? I was not at peace at all. I still felt his emotional turmoil. It was then, that I discovered that, revenge is a waste of time. It does not make you a better person. Doing the exact bad thing t
Summer POVIt is the second day after the meeting in the great hall. Alphas are arriving with their packs. There is a lot of hustling and bustling in the pack. A lot of surprises as others find their mates. It is a moment of jubilation as most wolves bid farewell to loneliness.. Some had lost hope of finding their mates as they were from distant packs. Seems like this war became a blessing for most.I have started working on those Alphas who had sided with Harold. I am giving them a chance at redemption. Now I know that a lot of people wanted their blood, but I call the shots here. Yes, they were willing to harm their kind but fact is, they did not. Now that they have been caught, they have had time to reconsider their ways. I strongly suspected that they were under some sort of spell and I was right. Most of these alphas are of lower ranks and do not have much wealth. So, to an extent, they wanted the wealth Hades promised them. To better the lives
Summer POVWe were all admiring the happy newly found mates. I look at Michael and see tears brimming in in his eyes. I can see that he is genuinely happy for his friend. He comes to me and kisses me on my forehead."You healed him mi querida princessa. You did it my love. Gracias."I hug him back and place m
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
