“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.

She adjusted her bag, raised her shoulders and continued to stare disapprovingly.I shook my head. “I’m Summer.”“I’m Ellen Turner. Ezra’s Aunt. His Mother was my sister. I’m also an esteemed member of the Pack Council. I take my job very seriously.”She reminded me of an old stuck-up school Principal. I offered Ellen a pressed smile.“I’m sure you do, Ellen.”How did she know I was here? I didn’t want to know.“The Mating Ceremony is a few days away,” she stated.I nodded. “I just have to pick up my dress. Ezra and I have everything organized. You don’t have to worry about anything.”Ellen placed a hand on her chest, threw her head back and laughed. I pressed my lips together. My wolf didn’t like her as much as I did but I forced Clover to be nice.“I have a lot to be worried about. Like the w
Summer POV“Hunter won’t let anyone into the room,” Oliver said.“I’m her sister! Her full-blood sister, not even half anymore. I want to see her.”“He’s in his wolf form, Summer and it’s damn terrifying.” Oliver rubbed the back of his head as he spoke.“Give him a minute, Summer. His girlfriend was attacked. If you were in that bed, no one would be allowed in this hospital.”I stared at Ezra. He could be so dramatic.“She got stabbed, Ezra,” I said.“Exactly, and Hunter’s worried, too. Come on, let’s get coffee. If he’s not out by the time we return, then we’ll figure things out.”“Can’t you make him come out?”He slipped an arm around my shoulder, and we began to walk.“I don’t have authority over Hunter anymore. He’s too powerful.”“Right… aren’t you worried about that?”Ezra sighed and punched a button for the elevator doors to open.“I’m more worried about my brother being hunted like an animal and killed for the Solaris Crown.”“That won’t happen. Remember, Hunter is really powe
Hunter POVShe tasted like cherry and vanilla. I dove my fingers into my hair, tugging as our lips connected. Estelle was a wildfire yet as delicate as ice. Never met a girl who could kid my ass and mend my heart all at once. I think I knew a while ago that I was screwed.“Ah Hunter,” she moaned.I growled into her lips. I lifted her thighs. Gosh, I loved her thighs and flipped her over so I was on top. I caressed her arms and lifted them over her head. I paused and stared into her eyes. I could do this my whole life. Which was scary I’d never thought about that before with any woman.“Hey, come on!”I chuckled. “Impatient much?”She bit her bottom lip. I rolled my hips forward, filling her up completely as gently as I could. She changed up my entire style. She might have been a badass out there in the real world. Estelle could kick anyone’s ass. Yet when she was with me the real Estelle came out. The shy, delicate and soft Estelle. She was soft in more ways than one. I scooped her in
Summer POV“Don’t worry he’ll be fine. I didn’t realize my own strength but I removed whatever dark spell was rooted in him.”Ezra and Hunter with Estelle arrived ten minutes ago. They hauled Dad upstairs to his room. Rachel and her family cleared out before Ezra arrived. Good, I didn’t want to deal with them ever again.Dad hadn’t woken up though he was breathing easily.I nodded and rubbed my eyes, itching to spill tears.“There’s something else though,” Hunter rubbed the back of his head.“What?” Estelle asked before I could.“I…uh… look I didn’t know it would happen!”“Spit it out Hunter,” Ezra growled. Ezra placed his hand on my shoulder and massaged it.“I couldn’t heal him without taking something from him apparently it’s how my powers work. So I took his rank. He’s not an Alpha anymore.”“Oh fuck, Hunter,” Ezra exhaled.“It was either that or let him die. I’m sorry girls.”“Whatever,” Estelle mumbled.I glared at her. “He can’t be the Alpha General anymore because he’s not an
Summer POV“You’ve had a problem with my wife since you met her, admit it,” Dad grumbled.“Yes, I admit it. I hate the fact you made me sleep in the basement when there was a perfectly good room upstairs without rats!”“We’ll talk about that later,” Dad said, shoving the front door open.“Oh, honey you’re back early,” Marcella said.“Were you doing something?” I accused.She rolled her eyes. “And you brought this one.”“Summer’s not staying long,” Dad said. I swear I saw sweat on his brow. It wasn’t hot in the house by any chance.“Of course, she still has to clean out her room. I want to convert the basement into an in-house gym!” She clapped her hands.I rolled my eyes dramatically and made sure it lasted long enough for her to see it.“Yes, Summer should get her things,” Dad said.He wasn’t sounding like himself again. I should have come with backup but I was here now and I couldn’t back out.“What did you do to him, Marcella? Aside from lie!”Marcella placed a hand on her chest an
Summer POV“You should go out there, you know,” I whispered into Ezra’s arm.He hissed my forehead. “I know.”“What’s stopping you?”He chuckled into my hair. “I like being in your warmth.”“I think they always had confidence you would defeat Dimitri,” I said.“I didn’t. You and Hunter did.”“Come on, I did not fight against him all night.”He ran a hand down my arm. “I wouldn’t have done it without you, Summer. There are no words to thank you.”“Don’t downplay your role in this Ezra. Come on, Alpha, you have a Pack that’s dying to hear from you.”The corner of his lips raised, and he smiled at the ground sheepishly. “I want to spend the night in my mate’s arms.”I closed the gap between us and kissed him. “You better hurry then.”Ezra changed into black pants and a white t-shirt. I slipped into my pyjamas and followed behind him. The Pack gathered in the front yard, all in their robes or pyjamas, most of them rattled by their peaceful Pack being attacked. I saw the anxiety on their f
Summer POVI made a small pit stop to our room and slipped into Ezra’s shirt. He scooped me into his arms the second he set foot on the property. His wolves came from all angles of the estate.“Hey, are you okay? Are you hurt?”“You’re the one bleeding, babe.”“I’m fine. What the hell? Why did you make me sound the retreat call? Everyone’s confused and pissed as hell. We’ve been fighting since the sun went down.”“I know, but hear me out—” He paused and stared over my shoulder. He shoved me behind me so hard I tripped and fell on the couch.“Hunter!” Ezra growled.“Whoa, I can explain!” Hunter shouted.Ezra tackled his brother, they landed on the coffee table, glass shattered everywhere.“No, guys stop it!”Estelle and Rachel were just as confused as I was. Oliver rushed in, just as badly beaten up as my mate.“Fuck, guys,” he groaned, attempting to yank Ezra off Hunter but he got an elbow to his nose for his troubles. “Fuck!”“Ezra, Hunter wore the Solaris Crown!” I screamed.The roo
Summer POV“Where are you going, Summer?” Estelle cried.“To kill him!” I shouted.“Or he’s going to kill you! Are you insane?” Rachel barked.“He just killed my Mom, and who knows, maybe even Viktor. Gosh, Ezra.” Panic settled in my gut.“If the Alpha was dead, we would all feel it,” Rachel said.The death of an Alpha was an incredible event, and all nature connected to him would feel it.“I’m not going to stand here and wait for something else to happen,” I said.“Well, you’re the Luna, so what do we do?” Estelle mumbled and folded her arms.Rachel lifted a shoulder and rolled her eyes.“Dimitri can transfer the curse to anyone, so who knows how many more cursed wolves are out there. We need to build a fire. A huge one.”“There’s a lawn mower in the shed out back we can get the gas from there,” Rachel said.They walked towards the kitchen back door while I marched out the front door. The Pack House had fallen. This was the Pack's last stronghold, and if it fell it would dent Ezra’s
Summer POVRachel was still shaken but she managed to shift and stand with Mom and me. Our random shifts caught the attention of the people in the Deli. Thank goodness this was a shifter town because stuff like this wouldn’t go down well with humans.“Hardly a fair fight, Summer,” Dimitri laughed, he didn’t bother to shift.“Summer, this isn’t the place for a fight, we have to get him away from the Pack,” Mom said through our mind link.“You’re right.”I opened my mind link to Ezra. It was unique to us so no one could hear it apart from us, thank goodness.“Dimitri’s in the Pack. We’re going to drive him away.”While Rachel and Mom turned around and ran onto the road I jumped on Dimitri and dug my claws into his chest to give him even more reason to chase me.“Bitch!”I may have overdone it.Dimitri shifte
Summer POV I 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...
