Summer POV
"It is not a spell warlock, they were possessed. The only one capable of such hideous means is Lucifer. Therefore, he was here and he possessed the warriors to kill each other. Meaning, he possessed a few. For had he done so to all, they would not fight each other. This young man surely was not amongst the possessed. He must be one brave wolf."I look at Ethan and pity his ordeal. However, I recall that Mtungagore mentioned magic. If grandpa is saying he wasn't possessed, then why did Mtungagore say there is dark magic festering his soul? As usual, my mate airs my exact sentiments. Mtungagore then clarifies his statement."The dark witches must have cast a spell to block them from mind linking anyone. However, I am suspecting that what I detect is more than just a spell. He must have been infected when he got that huge bite on his thigh. This leads me to one conclusion, the possessed wolves probably have some kind of venom."My dad andSummer POV Even though Mtungagore and his team are managing to dispel the mutants' spells, it is vividly not an easy task. For the dark magic, they possess, is out of this world. I pray that Harold and Lucifer show up before their energy runs out. Speak of the devil and he will appear. Or should I rejoice that my prayers are lately getting instant answers? Anyway, I have to focus because the appearance of these two marks the commencement of the real battle. Before I can even turn around to assess the intruders, a horde of extremely ferocious hellhounds charge at us. My dad and Darius, as always, do not waste any time before shifting to their wolf forms and lunge at the hounds with ease. The rest of the wolves follow suit and attack as well. I guess we underestimated these devils. As the hellhounds charge at us, three huge dragons start circling at a very low altitude. Clearly, they are aiming at the wolves. My heart skips and my palms start sweatin
Summer POVThe glare Michael shoots me is more painful than seeing all these wolf corpses lined up. He springs up and stalks te in a very menacing manner. My heart shatters into a gazillion pieces. I know not why he is like this towards me but I do not have to wait for long. "You have no right to shed any tears, Summer! This is all on you. Your selfishness led to the demise of all these wolves! Even my parents are gone!"I look at him struggling to comprehend his outburst. How did I cause the death of anyone? How can he stand here and accuse me mercilessly like this? "What? Do you dare feign ignorance, Summer? Did you stop to consider our lives before you brought down the horde of those hideous and insanely humongous dragons? They crushed everyone in their way!"Oh, so this is what it is all about? I instantly wipe off all of my tears as I feel Sunny pushing forward. She is enraged. So much that if I allow her to take full control, she will
Writer's POVAfter the cremation, of all the deceased warriors, there was a certain peace amongst the wolves. At least they got to keep the ashes of their loved ones. Now we all agree that the pain of such a magnitude is not easily erased, but one can cope if surrounded by caring people. One such person who got a heavy blow was the royal prince, Michael. Losing both parents was complete devastation for him and even though he needed time to grieve, he just could not. He had to assume the role of the alpha king. As soon as the cremating ceremony was finished, his coronation ceremony commenced. With a heavy heart, Michael accepted the crown. He made a vow to not let his parents' death be in vain. Mtungagore and Aurora had helped teleport them all to the safe house. Though built below the ground, it was equally as grand as the one destroyed by the fire. There was another great hall, only much more exquisite. The packs had all lost a loved one but the un
Writer's POVIt took only two days for Harold to gather enough men to turn into mutants. These could not be killed. Even if shredded to pieces, they would just regenerate and fight again. He also mobilized all the dark witches and vampires he could get. On the other hand, Lucifer gathered all the demons and he'll creatures he could get. He also invaded human morgues and stole the bodies, and made his demons possess them. They could not fight in their true form, therefore, they needed a host. When they felt that they were content with their preparations, they set off to attack. Though they were hell-bent on continuing with the war, they were gravely injured. Apollo left them all with incurable wounds. Only he could heal a wound inflicted by his spear, sword or arrow. In the meantime, Poseidon spoke to the snake people in his domain. They were much stronger above water than the mere people. Therefore, they agreed readily after hearing that they m
Writer's POVAs everyone looked up, it started raining. However, this rain was different. The rain drops were like a soothing balm. A healing ointment. As everyone got drenched, all their wounds were healed completely. Even Tina and Carla. In as much as she would not want to admit it, Tina was in awe of Summer. She thought that she would live as a scarred and ugly wench. Her heart of stone softened. Only her pride stopped her from expressing her gratitude. Even those who were in a coma came to, Harold included. The moment his eyes snapped open, he started fumbling for his wand. He still wanted to finish what he started. However, when he looked towards Tina and Carla, he jumped up in shock. He was petrified. He knew that even with their werewolf healing, the burns they suffered would take long to heal."Tina? How? When? Who?" He was almost incoherent but Tina understood him perfectly. "Look up dad. Look up and see.""That- that is Summer. She is? What! She is the one using this rain
Summer POVWhat a shocker! Aurora and Harold are related! Not just a mere relationship. They are mother and son! I know this is a huge blow for all of us. What more are the parties directly involved? Hermes slumps down and presses his temples so hard, eyes tightly shut. I can only begin to imagine how they are feeling. I remember when I got to know that Tina was not my biological mother, it was hard for me. It shook me to the core. It hurt me deeply. However, my case was a little different because I then go to meet my mother soon after. Which were a great consolation and a huge relief for me. This is different though. How is one supposed to accept that the son she yearned for, turned out to be the greatest villain ever?What of Hermes? He spent a millennium roaming the earth but never once realized that his son was still living? No, he never knew that Harold was his son. He could have probably helped untangle him from the shackles that bound him.
Summer POVLooking at everything from the sidelines, I cannot believe that fate played such a joke with everyone. What sin did Aurora and Hermes commit to being punished like this?Now I understand why I had that vision. We are directly related! All my anger towards Harold diminishes at once. All I feel is empathy for him. In a way, we have both been raised the same. Tina is a vile person and she made sure to hurt me at every opportunity. I cannot help but shudder inwardly at the thought of he who raised Harold. How many atrocities Harold suffered, I cannot bear to imagine? How then can we rest and recuperate from the effects of the war, when evil still lurks somewhere in the universe? It is pretty obvious that whatever entity that is, cannot rest until he has gained the upper hand. Who or what is this controlling Harold? Why did he instigate this war? What is there for him/ her to gain? Could it be Umbrage or that demon wizard covered in that purplish smoky hue?"Slow down my love,
Summer POVMtungagore is the best. He teleports everyone needed to the pack borders. Having him around has made a lot of things easy for us. To think that it was Harold who sought his alliance? I shudder inwardly at the thought of what would have happened, had Mtungagore chosen to work with Harold.Now that this threat from Lucifer and Harold is over, he will have to return to Azania. A big part of me does not want him to go just yet. I do not know what it is, but I feel as if something is brewing in the air. Maybe it is because we all now know that Harold was being controlled by someone else. Maybe it is because I have grown attached to him. I have no idea, but all I know is I still need the Azanian warlock to stick around.After mind linking Michael, I am surprised to see all of them emerging from a portal. Mtungagore and Lesedi come as well. I smile at them and Michael comes to hold me close. I feel secure having my mate and family close by. "Summer, relinquish control to the sera
