Summer POV

I 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.

    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 POVEzra traced my fugitive mark. I think he was circling both of them I couldn’t tell. I lay on my belly in his bed. It felt good to have everything out in the open.My Dad wasn’t happy. He wasn’t talking to Ezra. I just hoped he wouldn’t resign out of anger.“Do you think Blake cursed you?” Ezra asked.I puffed. “I can’t think of anyone else. Henrietta said she could help me figure it out.”“Curse first then we find your wolf,” Ezra said placing kisses on my back.He kissed down to the small of my back before he pressed soft kisses on my butt. I tilted my head back and moaned. He continued his exploration.“I’m just…”Ezra pried my cheeks apart.“I… think…”A grunt bubbled from his throat as a response.His soft lips found my ready and willing clit. I bit my bottom lip. Ugh, I couldn’t even get a word out. He kissed my bud tenderly and attentively. It wasn’t long ago that he was between my legs filling me up until we both fell over the edge of paradise.“I thought you wanted t

    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 bu

    Summer POVThe creature went for the kill and jumped on the rogue. It bit into his leg and the rogue cried out.Ezra shoved his phone at me.“Call for backup.”The man I was falling for grabbed the creature by its hind legs and yanked but it was as if he was trying to lift three manhole covers at once.I dialled Hunter but the phone just rang. It was useless we weren’t dealing with an ordinary wolf. The rogue cried out. He couldn’t even shift as the creature tore into him. Ezra went from a six-foot man to an eight-foot furry beast in a matter of seconds. He used his force to thrust the creature three feet which was as far as the creature would go.Its silver eyes locked on me and I backed up.Crap.I backed up slower but it had already seen me. Ezra barked and foamed at the mouth but the creature raced toward me.Ezra’s wolf dashed across the parking lot and connected with the terrifying slender wolf. They exchanged claws in the deadliest catfight I’d ever seen. I was so rooted to the

Even when Jacob changed leaving him wasn’t an option I wanted to take.“Look, I don’t know about all this, frankly I don’t want to know, but we still have Blake. W

    Summer POVI can’t believe he ran off. Or did he go looking for me? I didn’t want him to get hurt even though I was hurting because he had a fated mate. This felt riskier than being a fugitive in his pack. This was so uncertain and it made my heart ache.“Doll Face, there you are,” Hunter breathed a sigh of relief.Hunter walked towards me from the living room. Dad was outside talking to the beta guards.“How did he get away?” I asked.“Have you seen him? He can take out an army if he wants to. If he wanted to get away, then he was going to get away.”Judging by the marks on his neck Ezra wasn’t messing around.“I don’t know what to do. I can’t even track him.” I didn’t have my heightened hearing or a strong sense of smell. I didn’t have the strength to run through trees or connect with nature anymore.I was ove

    Summer POVI woke with a start. My clothes stuck to my skin from sweat. My hair was damp and my limbs ached. The last thing I remembered was falling asleep in Ezra’s arms. The room was dark but there was no way it was still night-time. I pushed the heavy covers aside. I was alone in the massive king-sized bed. I tiptoed to the curtains and pushed them aside.Dark grey clouds blanketed the sky, hiding the sun. I was at Ezra’s mansion but where was he? That was when I heard water running in the bathroom.“Ezra,” I whispered.I walked into the bathroom. He was in the shower with his back towards me. I couldn’t see if his veins were still popping out with venom like yesterday because of the steam from the hot water. He was standing fine though.I watched as he raked his fingers through his hair. I stayed a little longer to watch him lather his Body Wash all over his muscles. I know it sounds creepy. I was con

    Summer POVI watched Ezra pull on his clothes to leave and go to the pack house. My clothes were in his bathroom, soaking wet. He planned this somehow…He turned to me, grabbed my chin and pulled me close for a kiss.“I’ll be back before you know it. Lock the doors.”“Like that’s going to stop a wolf.”He closed his lips on mine again in a hard possessive kiss.“If you hadn’t followed me to the shower then maybe I would have taken you,” Ezra said.I laughed. “Me?”“You couldn’t resist me, Summer.”“I recall you being the one who dragged me in, Alpha Ezra.”He grinned. “Summer, I have to leave and I like the sound of my title on your lips.”I stroked his cheek and smiled. “Go, I can only imagine what that girl’s family is going through.”He picked up my han

    Summer POVEzra’s wolf prowled around, sniffing bushes and staring at trees. I sat with my legs folded in front of me while he eased his rage doing whatever it was he was doing. I think we ran out of Whispering Hollow grounds and ventured into one of Ezra’s tribe Packs.When Ezra conquered other Packs he liked to take the Packs closest to Whispering Hollow. The Broken Creek Pack had to be one of the furthest Packs. It smelled like a bunch of foreign wolves all over. They were wild tonight, but Ezra wasn’t worried.He stopped sniffing the bushes and came to butt his head against mine.We shifted back to human form at the same time. We rested under the stars nestled in each other’s arms.I sighed. “This was great.”He rubbed my shoulder. “Yeah, even though you cheated on the run here.”“What? No, I’m just faster than you!”He chuckled. “We need

    Summer POV“On the bright side, you and Estelle are full-blood sisters,” Ezra said, stroking my hair.After Mom left Marcella still didn’t let me in the house. She insisted Dad needed to rest and he wasn’t feeling well enough to argue with her. That battle wasn’t over.I leaned on Ezra’s shoulder. “She always wanted to know who her Dad was, Ezra. He was right there the entire time. Mom saw how it affected her but she kept her mouth shut. Isn’t she evil? If that isn’t evil, then I don’t know what is.”Ezra stroked my hair.“I’m sorry Vixen,” he exhaled.“Not as sorry as me. Marcella won’t let me see Dad. Can you believe that?”“Hey, why don’t you relax? You’re still recovering from your attacks.”“Ezra, I’m fine.”The poisonous liquid Dimitri gave me did leave my thr

    Summer POVEzra brushed his lips over mine. The tender kiss turned passionate and hungry fast. He parted my lips and sought out my tongue. He kept me at his house for a few days so I could recover my strength. I told him I felt better and he took it as his opportunity to pounce on me.“Ezra,” I said between kisses.He climbed on top of me and kept me down with the weight of his body. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him back. It would be so easy to stay in the safety of his arms but I had been in this house for too long. I needed to check on Estelle and Dad.I needed to check on my friends as well. After losing Marley they must have been worried sick.“I have to go…” I moaned.He stopped kissing me and raised a brow. “Go where.”“I’m better now, babe.”“I don’t care. I’m never leaving your side again.”“Wh

    Summer POVI vaguely remembered Viktor. His sister I knew and she hated me. He had a striking resemblance to Jacob, but if I remember correctly Jacob and Viktor didn’t get along well. Viktor left Broken Creek a long time ago. Though they were cut from the same rotten cloth he could still be a threat.“What are you doing here?” he asked.He wore loose black pants while I was completely naked.“I-I… was just passing by.”“You’re a long way from Broken Creek,” he said.I wrapped my arms over my chest. “I know… how far from Whispering Hollow?”“You’re a long way from there, but why would you want to go there?”I bit my bottom lip. I didn’t trust him.“If I wanted to kill you I would have done it a long time ago. You’re on my land after all.”“I know your Mother has it out for me what if you just hand me over to her?”He frowned. “I could. I haven’t spoken to her in years. I doubt she knows I’m alive.”Jacob was her favourite son. You could tell by the way she babied him.“You killed my br

    Summer POVI spat the disgusting liquid into Dimitri’s eyes. He dropped the bottle, the stuff flew everywhere. He cried out and rubbed his eyes.“Bitch!”Some of that stuff went down my throat. It burnt worse than any vodka ever.Dimitri screamed and knocked over things as he battled to get the liquid out of his eyes.Serves him right for trying to force that stuff down my throat.“Alpha!” Rocco yelled.“What did you do to him?” Sophia cried.I rolled my eyes.A couple more betas entered the room and tried to help Dimitri but he shoved them all off.“You’re going to pay for this. Tie her up!”He clutched his left eye and marched out of the room.Rocco marched over to me and slapped me.My wolf showed restraint.“Prepare,” Clover said.I thought she wanted me to survive this thing and fight later. Though there was no best time to escape and I couldn’t jump out of a window.“You think you’re all that, huh?” Rocco shouted. “Just because you’re an Alpha Female!”“I know I’m all that.”He

Hunter broke free and the cell doors weren’t strong enough to keep Bowen at bay.My betas were down, Hunter ran off and I was completely alone.I backed Bowen into a corner. My blood was all over the place but my wolf wasn’t backing down. Bowen’s cursed wolf growled and panted. He was tired. He couldn’t do this for much longer.I pounced on him and locked my jaw around his neck.After this I’m getting rid of half the beta army and the rest are going through gruelling routines. How the hell are they all down?“One last chance, who’s your master?” I growled through the mind link.“Go to hell, Ezra.”“Then die.&

    Summer POVIf I fall out of the window and break my leg it will heal after some time. Of course, then I wouldn’t be able to run away. Derek would just catch me again. The bathroom door was locked but that won’t stop werewolves.I stuck my top half out of the window but the fall was two stories.A boot slammed into the door. It jerked forward and broke off its hinges.The window was my only option. I climbed out of the window just as the door flew open.“Nice try Summer,” Derek laughed. “Get her.”Rough hands grabbed me and dragged me back into the bathroom.“No!”“Wouldn’t expect anything less from a she-wolf like you.”Derek dragged me back to the bedroom. I wasn’t close to escaping at all but I could do it again. The house was packed this was a dumb idea. The security would be tighter now.I snatched my arm from his grip. He raised his hand but I ducked out of the way and landed on the bed before his hand could connect with my face.“Can you chain her up and get on to other things?

    Ezra POVMy fist connected with his jaw again. This would go a lot better if he just confessed to cursing my brother and what the fuck he wanted from me.“Fuck you!” Bowen spat.“This could be over quickly if you tell me what I want.”He spat blood on the dungeon floor. His henchmen were in the other cells. They were either oblivious or really good at hiding the truth. Either way, they were getting beaten up.“You’re barking at the wrong tree, mutt.”“Ohh, that’s not a nice word.” I rammed my fist into his jaw again.Roman stood in the corner of the room and groaned.“Talk Bowen. It’s late and we’re tired,” Roman said.“Yeah, I have a mate I need to get to.”“That stupid bitch,” Bowen barked.My wolf jumped to the edge of my skin and flashed in my eyes.He was chained to the chair. I dug my claws into his flesh, sinking my venom into his body. He cried out and cursed.“What did you say about my mate?”He panted heavily. “Enough.”“Fine. We’re all tired. Why Hunter?”“Why not?” Bowen l

    Summer POV“What did Marley do to you?” I blasted.“She shouldn’t have touched what didn’t belong to her,” Sophia pouted.“You’re insane.”The scar on her face had completely healed. I wondered if hurting herself was worth it.“I just protect what’s mine.”I tried to march past her but she shoved me backwards.“Stand aside!”She stalked forward, smirking. Her wolf flashed in her eyes.I backed up and summoned my wolf. Ezra wasn’t here to stop me I would rip this bitch to shreds. My wolf flashed in my eyes with a force so strong she nearly knocked me out.“Let’s make this quick.”Sophia tilted her head gladly.“What have you done this time Sophia? What is it now?” Derek’s disgruntled voice stopped me.I stepped back.Derek marched upstairs and stood beside Sophia but he caught me standing in front of them before he said anything else.“Well, fuck,” Derek said.“You know her?” I gasped.“Very well actually,” Sophia smirked.“Enough,” Derek spat.My heart hammered against my ribcage.
