Michael POV
I 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?""AnywAlone 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
Aurora's POVHermes has done it this time and he has to pay for it. I know that I am partially to blame and that is why I have vowed to do all I can to, make things right. I have to correct this before the whole balance of the universe is tipped over irreparably. pop feedI have been aware that the gods need me to eradicate some evil threat in the universe. It has been a while since I have been reawakened but I was yet to fully connect with the human in question. It had to be quite overwhelming for a teenager to be a bearer of such immense power.However, the time I was about to break through and be able to communicate with her, I found myself back in Magica in the hands of my long-lost lover Hermes. The nerve of that trickster! Imagine for him to recreate a sin from our past? Also, the moment I felt him, all rationality went flying out of the window. It has been a whole millennium if not more since I saw him. How could I not have been carried away? I
Michael POVI 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 t
Michael 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
