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 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 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 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 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 POV SUMMER!" "Get your lazy, ugly, good for nothing ass down here right now!" I woke up with a start. I know that voice. And I know that only spells trouble. However, it's nothing new because this is like the daily bread that I feast on since I remember. Oh! Point of correction, only when dad is not around. Mother always has to wake me up around four every morning so I clean up and cook for everyone. Iron again my siblings' clothes and hers for work. Note, iron again. Irrespective of the fact that I would have laundered and ironed them before. I still have to do it again. And if I dare wake up not on the appointed time, I get a thorough whooping on my bum. Her reason being no one would see it.Anyway, today is one of those days. Dad has been called by the werewolf king to assist with rogue attacks in the kingdom. Since he is an awesome mighty warrior, he's always been sought after by almost every pack in the world. Which leaves me alone with my monster mom and straight o
Tina POVI woke up this morning and I couldn't believe what was happening. The strong scent of the Ocean and mixed berries was nearly choking me. Is that woman here? How when am so sure I put her to sleep for good. What's happening.? Who is the intruder? This scent is more pronounced. In fact, it's totally engulfed me. I summon my power. Just a fraction of it to ensure that I don't reveal who I really am. When I get out of my bedroom, I'm shocked to note that the scent is coming from Summer's room."SUMMER!!!" "Get your lazy, ugly, good for nothing ass down here right now!!!!" I literally scream the whole place down. She must have woken up with a start and I see her coming down in a t-shirt and jogger pants. The moment she reaches the kitchen, forgetting that I'd activated a part of my strength, I hit her straight into the gut. The impact caused her to fall. She hits her head on the counter and I can smell blood."Tell me right now, why the hell you'd conceal something like that y
Luke POVI woke up today with a certain restlessness that I couldn't quite figure out the cause. I felt my wolf pacing up and down as well. We are both unsettled but can't precisely pinpoint the reason.I sigh. I try again to ask Luca my wolf if he has any idea, but he tells me he is equally as clueless as I am. Exasperated, I start pacing up and down my office.Suddenly I am engulfed by this strong desire to go and see Summer my niece. The feeling is indescribable. It is like an overwhelming need to protect her.I am baffled. What is going on? Even for my twins, I have not felt this overprotective."Just get up and go see her already!"Luca snarls at me. To say I am baffled is not even appropriate. I am literally paralysed in shock. He has never once used that kind of tone with me. Just as I was about to go out, Hannah the omega who is mute brings me coffee."Do not drink it Luke!!"Again
