“You.” I snapped my head up. A naked man marched into the kitchen. Heat rushed to my face. The man draped in tattoos and bronze skin glared at me. “What are you doing here?” I squeaked. “I should be the one asking you that.” He closed the gap between us, and his body slammed against mine, pinning me against the door. His hand wrapped around my neck. I dug my nails into his flesh but he didn’t flinch. “You’re with the Red Claw pack aren’t you?” He sneered and tightened his hold. “Screw…you,” I rasped. “Ezra,” Dad barked. “What?” “Put her down. She’s my daughter.” His hold loosened and I dropped to the floor. I held my neck and glared at him. “You have an eighteen-year-old daughter?” Alpha Ezra asked. Dad shrugged, “Twenty, but yes.” Summer is on the run from her former Alpha, and seeks refuge with her estranged Father. She hides a secret that could get her killed so the one person she must stay away from is the one she's drawn to the most. Alpha Ezra is sort of her Dad's best friend and logically off-limits but soon the lines between them blur and before they know it the desire is too hot to put out. Summer's past catches up with her and the only option is to cheat fate or repeat history. Ezra and Summer must work together or risk being ripped apart.

Summer POV“Come on Henrietta wake up. Gosh, what happened?”I ran to the kitchen and filled a plastic cup with what. If I called an ambulance how would I explain this? The last thing I needed was to be accused of killing Henrietta. I hurried to her and splashed water on her pale face.She flinched and took in small breaths until she broke into a fit of coughs.“You’re okay,” I breathed a sigh of relief.She cradled her head and nodded. “That hasn’t happened since I was a teenager. That’s one hell of a curse.”My face fell. “The moon goddess did curse me, didn’t she?”“No Honey, she didn’t. This was an individual as solid as you and me but they don’t want to be known.”I shrugged. “Thanks for trying.”“I’m not giving up. My ego might be a little wounded but we’re trying this again. I just need a nap.”“Of course.”I asked Henrietta if she needed anything else before I left. I was positive Blake was behind my curse and I was going to confront him about it. Ezra might think I’m an egg b
Ezra POVI parked in front of Luther’s Mart. Luther was a gamma, he had two beta sons who were about to join my army. I found him outside with his youngest son trying to clean up a mess of broken eggs and condiment bottles.I climbed out of the car.Summer texted me over twenty minutes ago. She couldn’t have gotten tired of waiting already.“Alpha! Thank the goddess you’re here,” Luther threw his arms in the air.“Something happen?” I asked.“Some guys jumped a girl. Dad came out to help but they knocked him down.”My heart sank. Please don’t let it be Summer.“What did they look like?” I demanded.“It was the human girl. I didn’t get a good look at the other guy but the one who attacked Dad was a tall blond dude.”Summer’s scent was all over the place. They hadn’t nabbed her a long time ago. I told Luther I’d take care of it. I yanked out my phone and called Hunter as I marched to my truck.Hunter didn’t pick up. Damn it, Hunter.Red Claw took her who else could it be? My wolf jumpe
Summer POVI landed on the concrete floor with a thud. My head bounced off the ground and met Blake’s blue-eyed gaze. Conner closed the door behind him. That bastard, I shouldn’t have thought I could trust him.“Summer, I’ve thought about you for months,” Blake began.“So have I. I can’t say they were good thoughts.”Liquid rolled down the side of my head. I touched the liquid. It was blood.“Look at that you can’t heal yourself anymore. How tragic,” Blake smiled.“Because of you!” I yelled.“Shut up,” he scowled.“I bet Blake didn’t tell you that, did he?” I looked at Conner.Conner held my stare and lifted his chin. “He’s the Alpha and his word is the law and everything he said about you is the truth.”“What did he say?” I rasped.“That you deserve to die!” Conner lurched forward.Blake stuck his large toned arm out to block Conner from coming any further.I sat up and crawled backwards to a brick wall. We were in the developing neighbourhood Ezra brought me to one night after work.
Summer POVI rolled on the hard floor and snivelled. I oddly had a lot of space. I opened my eyes and realized I was alone on the living room floor and the fire I went to bed with had gone out leaving behind grey ash.I rolled on my back and blinked at the ceiling. What have I done?“Good morning, princess,” Ezra said.He carried two coffee mugs. He only had a pair of pants hanging low around his waist. He sat next to me and kissed my cheek.“You okay?”I nodded and then my body responded. My back was sore and I could still feel Ezra’s hands digging into my skin from last night.“I’m a little sore but it’s a good sore.”I took the mug from him. I should have come clean last night but instead, I slept with him! I couldn’t control myself when I was with him which was dangerous.“Summer, I didn’t do this,” Ezra’s warm tone turned deadly and cold.His thumb stroked the cut Marcella made with her pocket knife. I snatched my arm back and hid it under the blanket.“Oh, it’s nothing.”“Doesn’
Ezra POVThere’s nothing anyone can do to get me into a tie. I wore the jacket that’s good enough. The ball was in full swing. Rachel organized a good ball that’s for sure but there was no sign of her. A part of me was concerned about her being heartbroken but at the same time, I wanted to give her space.“Where is she?” I grumbled as I fished out my phone from my back pocket.I checked my messages and call log. Summer hadn’t gotten back to me.“Summer,” I sighed.Was she going to back out on me?I watched as the guests interacted. There were a few of the tribe Alphas. Tribe Alphas oversaw the packs I conquered.A hand clapped on my shoulder. I turned my head and pressed my lips together to fight the smile.“Don’t even think about it, Ezra.” Roman yanked on the red tie.“Nice tie,” I smirked.“Marcella made me wear this penguin suit. When is this over?”Maybe she came with him. There was no sign of her. Not even her sweet scent in the air.“Didn’t Summer want to come to the ball or is
Summer POVEzra and Hunter acted as if nothing was wrong. Ezra had a meeting at the army base with the Alpha General. I had a feeling it had something to do with the rake venom. Ezra wouldn’t tell me about it or the murders because he didn’t think I could handle it. He even called me cute.My phone rang with an incoming call. I was just walking onto our yard when Dad walked out the front door. I stared at the unknown number calling me. Only a handful of people had this number. I let the call ring until it went dead.“Shouldn’t you be at a meeting?” I asked Dad.He stopped by his truck and put his hands on his waist.“I’m on my way. I’m glad I caught you, remember I told you I wanted to find out about the cursed mark you received?”I closed the gap between us so we weren’t talking so loudly about this sensitive topic.“Yeah and?”“Well, there’s a lady we can talk to. Tomorrow night.”“Tomorrow? What about the ball?”“Oh, you have a date with that boy. Honey, you’ll have to cancel this
Summer POVI slipped into Ezra’s office. I found him standing by the window holding a half-empty glass of scotch.“Before you explode, tell me why you’re so mad,” I said quickly.Ezra gripped the glass tighter I thought it might break in his fist.“Come on, it can’t be that bad,” I pleaded.He marched over to his desk and slammed the glass on it.“My girlfriend in the arms of another wolf is bad enough!” he roared.I blinked a few times. Ezra’s jealous? I bit my bottom lip in an attempt to hide my smirk.“This isn’t funny, Summer.”“Conner’s an old friend,” I said sweetly.I could see the possessiveness radiating off him yet I still closed the gap between us. I ran my palms up his chest and cupped his cheeks. He leaned in and kissed the inside of my right palm.“It was nothing,” I whispered.“No one touches what’s mine.”I sucked in a breath. He closed the distance between us before I got another word out. He swiftly picked me up and planted me on the edge of his desk.“Do I really ne
Summer POVI arrived in Whispering Hollow a day early. I was back. Permanently this time. I hadn’t prepared for my Dad’s wife’s reaction and her daughters. Dad claimed they were nice, but I didn’t know what to make of them. Dad remarried a few months ago and I hadn’t met his new family.Dad said it wouldn’t be a problem but I doubted that. I was a dent in their perfect lives. Dad was a general in the Alpha’s army. His personality was large and he drilled his soldier’s like a machine. Or so I heard.His black truck stopped at the bus stage.“Hey, sweetie!” He boomed.“Dad…” I blinked a few times.“Get in here. The family can’t wait to have you home.”“Terrific.”I expected silence to fall over the cab but Dad insisted on addressing the elephant in the room. Me.“It’s going to be hard here,” he started.“I figured,” I said digging my nails into the car seat.“For one no one can know what happened.”“Won’t lying make things worse?”“Trust me Summer. I might have to limit your movement fo...
