Michael POV
I have always known that witches hold immense power amongst supernatural beings. They are the ones with the power to annihilate us all if given a chance. However, since the days of yore, there has been peace amongst all of us.We were able to keep the peace by following a set of rules put to get her by the supreme council. This consists of members of all factions. However, the wolves and witches hold a higher post. Vampires have always been sneaky and untrustworthy. Therefore, most of them ended up being removed from the council.Even with the council in charge, there have always been rebels from all over. Werewolves, witches, and vampires have been going rogue for a while now. Normally, werewolves go rogue is because they would have been banished due to some abhorrent behavior. Some are just born bad and some turn rogue because of their thirst for power. Others are only rogue because they were born to rogue parents and thus, it is the only life tMichael POVWithout any hesitation, I scooped my mate closer and held her as if she is my lifeline. I do not want ever to lose her again. Before I could take another step, I feel as if we are caught up in a whirlwind. I gasp in astonishment getting all wary and alert. "What? I thought in your weakened state and because you're in this era, you would at most just remain werewolf."Aurora voices her opinion but I am yet to grasp what this is all about. Why would she make a fuss about a whirlwind which is weak at that? "You can put me down now Mikey."Only when she says this do I get a clear sight of my surroundings. We are back in the cave! How?"Oh, so now you are perturbed? Precisely what has me baffled as well. How she managed to teleport us back, is beyond me. Anyway, let me warm up the food while you guys get comfortable."I look at my mate and she just smirks mischievously before she scoots closer and rests her head on my chest.
Summer POVMichael springs up and ruffles his hair. I mentally chide myself for ruining the moment. Why on earth did I have to bring forth the war? I watch him pace up and down, lips pursed and brows knitted. I do not think he remembers that we are fully mated now and I can feel and hear all his emotions and mental battles."Calm down Mikey, we will surely not lose each other anymore."He looks at me and I see his eyes are partly black, showing that Miguel is fighting for dominance. In a guttural voice, he speaks to me."I failed you more than anything mi querida compañera and today I give you my word. I will draw my last breath before I let anyone touch you."The possessiveness in his voice scares and excites me at the same time. I know that a lot has changed henceforth. But I like it like that. Something tells me that I am going to be smothered with love. Not that I am complaining. "Oh, you so have no idea mi querida niña.""Hola to you
Aurora POVI look at Summer as she falters and tears gush out of her eyes. I cannot help but engulf her in a big hug. Whatever she saw, it is gut wrenching. However, I have to urge her to carry von, however selfish it is. It is that part of my memory that I have never got to recover. For this once I have to be selfish. She herself said I will not be able to help in the war if I have a void in my memory. She eventually calms down the leans closer to her mate. How I envy the wolves and their sacred mate bond! Just a touch of their mate and one is healed. Even open wounds can be licked and heal instantly by their mate. I allow her to let out her pent up rage and hurt over what she saw me go through. The little girl has a heart of gold. This is the first time I have seen someone this broken for another. A part of me is scared to imagine what she will reveal. I, however, brave it up and allow her to narrate her vision. What she does not know is that, this is
Absorbed A Portion Of Her POVSummer POVHermes stands up and starts pacing around the room. He is shaken by what we have just revealed. With the furrows on his brow, we can all see that he is in deep thoughts. None of us say a word. It is pretty obvious that he needs time to process all this."Are you saying that the dark witches took our son? Not only did we have one little girl, but two babies? So our son lived? How come I did not know? I should have known or even sensed that I had an offspring somewhere. I am a failure. I have failed as a man and as a father. Oh, God, forgive me Aurora."With that he slumps down and breaks down in loud sobs. He is hurt and in as much as I hate him, I feel sorry for him. His crying causes all our hearts to twist and our tears also gush out. Michael recovers fast though. He walks over to Hermes and squeezes his shoulder. "You are not a failure man. Clearly, whoever took your son had prepared for it for a long ti
Summer POVGunther springs up and embraces Michael. These two have always been very close. They're just like siblings. I can see the relief in everyone's eyes. Gunther then turns to me, arms outstretched but then he takes a step back again. He looks scared. Knowing Gunther, he would have engulfed me in a great big hug by now. I furrow my brows in confusion. What has he seen that made him take tentative steps backwards. I feel quite hurt that Gunther would shun me as if I am a scourge. Even Michael eyes him with confusion. He then says something that just makes my whole world stop. "Summer? You are with child! Oh goddess, I am going to be an uncle and a godfather!"The rest of his statement just becomes gibberish to me. I am having a hard time understanding all of this. How can I be pregnant? I only mated with Michael barely twenty four hours ago. I see elder Merlin sniffing the air with furrowed brows. Then her eyes light up and a beaming smile braces h
Summer POVI have no idea how long I have been sleeping for. I turn around and come face to face with my mate's contagious smile. Scratch that, he has a wide grin on his face which makes him look even more charming. He is oozing waves of happiness and it is highly contagious. Without thinking, I find myself grinning at him like an idiot. I have no idea why he is happy, but all I know is that, whatever it is, it is making me happy as well. Stupid mate bond. You easily adapt to your mate's moods and demeanour. "Good morning mi princessa.""Morning darling. Would you loosen up your grip on me? I need to go to the loo."Michael does not loosen the grip at all. Instead, he carries me bridal style towards the bathroom. With one hand he fixes the toilet seat and puts me down. As I relieve myself, he washes my toothbrush and puts toothpaste on it, before handing it to me. Michael goes on to fill the bathtub with warm water. I like how he mixes his body wash
Summer POVThe joy my mum displays is contagious. She is beaming and we all feel happy for her. I know she believed her father had died almost two decades ago. To see him alive and well like this, must be quite full filling. One thing that nags me a little is his age. The man looks as if he is my father's age. As if his ageing halted decades ago. I cannot detect his aura, which is quite unnerving for me. A person who can conceal his or her aura is intimidating. This leaves me wondering if he is hiding a lot from us. My mother seems unconcerned about it, which can only mean she is used to it. Grandfather looks at all of us before speaking as if he just read my mind. "I know, some of you want to hear my story, but unfortunately, you will have to wait. Selena my darling daughter, I owe you an explanation, but like the others, you will have to wait as well. Granddaughter dearest, my age bothers you much and I will let you in on a secret. Your moon goddess Selene,
Summer POVWe go down and have our dinner. I am surprised at how much I enjoy the seafood. I have never been one for seafood. It must be the pregnancy. Darius and Jackson enjoy their stakes and I just watch them. The desert is mouthwatering but unfortunately, it makes me ag. This pup is making my life miserable. I end up taking mushroom soup for dessert which is downright crazy. The guys do not speak until they have cleaned up every crumb from their plates. Leaning back on the chair, hands holding the back of his head, Darius addresses me. "Luna, are you ready to go loosen up on the dance floor? Over the years, I have learnt some dance moves and I could be your guide.""Hell no, Darius. I will be dancing with the Luna. At least, my age is close to hers. You look like her dad man and it will raise eyebrows.""Are you implying that I am old Jackson? I could kick your ass with both hands tied up!"Oh, goddess. These two are a handful.
