She didn't seem surprised by that because it was something we kept telling her all week. We wanted nothing to do with her or whatever message she wished to relay to us. We just want her out of the pack, never to return. Was that too much to demand after everything her father did? “Please, you have got to listen to me. I promise I won't disturb you after this if you will listen to me,” she begged. “All I seek for is a chance to prove to you I came for something good,” she said with a smile. I tilted my head to the side, watching us, as I tried to think of what good news she showed up with. I turned to look at my brothers, who lifted their shoulders in a shrug, waiting for me to say something. 'Always leaving everything to me,' I grumbled through our bond. 'What can we say? You are our last baby,' Miles teased, chuckling. 'Bastard!' They have gotten immune to my curses that they don't react to it anymore. But I'd never gotten used to hearing them refer to me as the youngest. “Wh
We didn't hear from Nelly after that day. She just got lost, knowing I might rip her head off her neck should I see her anywhere near us. I wasn't joking about that. She had to bring up memories I would rather not think about. After my brothers caught up with me, they took me to the park to calm down before we returned to the office. This way, Summer wouldn't notice there was something amiss. She was getting better at sniffing things out. “Is my dress okay?” She asked, twirling in front of me. My jaw dropped to the floor as I took in the beauty in front of me. I had to pick up my fallen jaw before answering her questions. Blinking, I stood up straighter, clearing my throat. My gaze wandered from her head to her toes, taking in the gorgeous creature. The red lace gown she wore clung to her body like a second skin. Her hourglass figure hadn't been lost since her stomach was barely showing. With her hair up in a ponytail, and her neck exposed, she looked so damned ravishing. “Goddes
SUMMERI watched Mitch as he told them the reasons for the meeting, his voice carrying out through the hall. The people in the room all had their attention fixed on him as if they might miss something important if they didn't do that. “Mitch sure missed his calling. He would have done well as a newscaster,” Miles leaned close to whisper, mocking Mitch, knowing he could hear him. I shot a glare at him, and he shut up very fast, sitting up as he focused on Mitch, looking like a well-behaved kid. I hid the smile on my face. Knowing I had such powers over my mates always gave me this intense joy. When Mitch concluded his speech, he returned to his chair next to mine, giving the people the chance to voice their opinions about the deaths. “Good morning,” Elder Maxwell greeted as he rose from his chair. “Good morning,” came the response from the others. We only nodded at him as Mitch motioned for him to proceed with what he had to say. He cleared his throat, getting ready to give his op
My mates stood at his words. “How dare you?” Mike growled at him. “Oh?” He cocked his head to the side, a small smile playing on his lips. “Pardon me, my Alphas. I was just letting them know of something you omitted.”“And you —” I held Miles, shaking my head when he turned to look at me. “You can proceed with that, Pete. Continue," I ordered, gesturing for him to complete his words. He looked stunned by my words but covered it up so fast it seemed like I had conjured that expression. “Thank you so much … Luna,” he bit out, the anger returning to his eyes. It was obvious he came for me. The bastard wanted to seek revenge for what had happened in the past. My mates turned to look at me, but I shook my head, motioning for them to sit. I knew I had to do this, or else it would cause a major problem. Should they prevent Pete from saying what he stepped out to do, he would still find a way to tell the others about it. It was better he did that in their presence, to show that their
“Are you insane?!” Mitch growled at him. “What sort of stupid proposition is this? Are you that tired of living?” Pete smiled, tilting his head to the side as he stared at him. He knew his plans were working. His words were getting to my mates. Soon, he would have what he wanted, but I wasn't about to let that happen. “That's an excellent suggestion,” I stated, rising from my seat. My mates glanced back at me, shocked by my words. The way their eyes widened as they watched me approach Pete, said it all. “I never thought of it that way. With me as a bait, the killer will show up faster. Don't you think?” I questioned, looking around. There was utter silence in the room as the rest of the people watched me, their faces awash with fear. I could tell why they were scared. They weren't terrified because of me, but my mates. “What the fucking hell are you talking about?!” Mitch gritted out through clenched teeth. I will give them credit. They managed to stay calm despite the brewing s
“You have to do what? Use yourself as bait? Listen to yourself, baby girl. This isn't any solution! You are only putting your life on the line for those who don't care about you! Can't you see that?” Mitch whirled around, his eyes blazing with barely restrained fury. “It's that bastard's fault. Had he not proposed such a stupid thing, you wouldn't be having this kind of thought.”“But —”“This is final, Summer. It's not up for debate. You are not using yourself as bait, we won't allow it!” I frowned at him, wondering what it would take for them to see what I was trying to show them. I would lie should I say I don't know how dangerous this would be, but with the right approach, we can get everything sorted out. “Won't you be there with me? You can lie waiting in the forest, and catch the killer when they try to take me. You can —”“We are not speaking of this anymore, Summer. You are not doing that and it's final. We won't allow you to hurt yourself because of people who don't love y
I rolled my eyes at his question as I took a helping of the fried rice and sat back. I didn't answer his questions, knowing it would bring rise to more. Though Mitch had never been this pissed with me, I had seen him with his brothers whenever he was furious at them. Replying to him would do more harm than good, which was why I pretended as if I didn't hear him. “Do you like the food?” Miles questioned, smiling at me. “Is it to your liking?”He looked shy, blushing as he waited for my reply. “Hmm. This tastes great,” I replied with a nod of my head, knowing that was something he wanted to hear. His face broke out in a smile as he leaned back on his chair, looking content. It wasn't difficult to make him smile. Just a word from me and he was already this thrilled. We ate in silence as I did everything in my power to ignore the men glaring at me. You would think they wouldn't eat tonight because they were pissed, but they did. They ended up eating almost all the meals Miles made for
“And what has Miles got to do with all this?”He sighed, looking towards his brother before he sat next to me and took my left hand in his. I wanted to ask him to let go, to show him I was still pissed at him, but I didn't. “You have to understand us, baby girl. We are only doing this because we love and care for you. We don't want to see you hurt,” he explained, reaching towards me to place his left palm on my head. “We wish to keep you safe. This is why we are doing this. It's not because we don't want you to help..”I puffed out a breath, not saying a word as I listened to him. “We want to keep you as safe and far away from the troubles of the pack as possible. You are pregnant, darling. you can't do something rash even if it's for the pack.”“We care a lot for you, Summer. That's why we are doing this. I know it might seem like we don't want you to help us, but that's not it,” Mike added, rising from the couch. He approached me and squatted in front of me, placing his hands on m
