Summer POV“Kid, where are you going?” Dad barked.Of course, he hadn’t left the pack house he might have been cross with Ezra but he was Dad’s Alpha and best friend.“Anywhere but here,” I said with a sigh.“What happened?”“Dad, you knew about Sophia didn’t you?”He tugged on his collar and stared at the dirt. “Uh… yeah… but how did you expect me to tell you about Sophia when I didn’t know you were going out with Ezra?”Good point I couldn’t even be mad at that.“It was… this was a bad idea,” I said, shaking my head.I didn’t want to give him up but the mate bond was an incredible force. 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 POV“I don’t have to go with you… I mean he’s your boyfriend and your Dad.”I glared at her.She smiled and popped the driver’s door open.We’re going down together, I thought. Close to twenty betas were wandering around Ezra’s property. Dad, Ezra and Hunter stood by the front door. Hunter was baiting Ezra which was making things worse.“Summer,” Ezra ground out.His rage quickly died when he took me in. “What the hell are you wearing?!”I cringed.“I don’t know, bro, I think she looks kinda hot,” Hunter chuckled.Ezra shoved his brother two feet away. “Fuck off.”“Relax, the little fox next to her looks just as good.”Estelle rolled her eyes and groaned.Ezra marched up to me and gripped my shoulders. “I asked you to do one thing, Summer.”“

Ezra POVI think I was more worried about Blake going after Summer than she was. I just found her I wasn’t about to let some cocky Alpha come between us. However, keeping her out of trouble was harder than I thought. I recalled seeing her in that petite leather skirt last night. I was crossed between intrigue and rage. I thought her uniform skirt was sexy but I was damn wrong.“Ezra?” She tilted her head to the side. “What are you thinking about?”I rubbed my mouth to cover a smirk. I was thinking about her legs.“Nothing. I have something for you.”“What?” she asked.I opened the drawer and pulled out a knife with jagged edges on both sides. I grabbed the handle and stuck it into the desk. Summer scrutinized the knife. I knew she could use it. If she was good enough to become the Alpha’s right-hand woman then she could handle a small knife.“You got me a

Summer POVEzra closed the door behind him. He met my heated glare. I gave him two minutes this is ten minutes later!What was he doing?“What?” he asked.Men can be so clueless.“Ten minutes later?”He smirked and started the car.“Don’t be jealous, Vixen, you know I only have eyes for you.”He didn’t understand the disdain I had for that woman but at the same time the insecurity she made me feel. She was older, beautiful and she was rightfully Ezra’s mate. She had a wolf the wolf council wouldn’t reject Ezra making her the Luna unlike me who was a wolfless disgrace.“Look, Henrietta called and she wants to speak to us. She learned something about your curse.”“She did?”Last time she tried to learn something the person responsible for my curse nearly killed her. She tried to brush it off but she was in pain.

Summer POVI texted my sister and told her to meet me at Dad’s house after dinner. I didn’t miss being Marcella’s slave yet here I was. Dad’s truck wasn’t parked out front so he must be at the base cooking up a plan to protect the pack since Blake vowed to make us pay for locking him up.“Uh, look what the cat dragged in?” Rachel smiled. She put down her magazine and uncrossed her legs.“Is it Summer?” Marcella barked.I paused at the door and frowned. Rachel smiled brighter. Marcella stormed into the living room.“You little bitch. I can’t believe we’ve been harbouring a fugitive all this time.”I clenched my jaw. “You don’t know the full story.”“How can we even trust you, Summer? You say he tried to rape you but you’ve lied so much. You even let Ezra mark you with possession knowing you were a fugitive. I’

EpilogueEzra POVFOUR YEARS LATER“Draw them to the cliff!” I ordered.Alpha Jackson’s troops were surrounded, his Pack house had been ceased and his troublesome council had been slaughtered. He had no choice but to surrender but the stubborn Alpha refused.My wolves charged, sending the last troop of wolves to the edge of the Cafter Cliff, where they were forced to surrender or die. They were all going to jail for a series of crimes anyway.“Where’s your Alpha?” I demanded.They stared at each other with blank expressions. When I thought they would remain defiant they all shifted back into humans and I knew I had them. Finally, after twelve hours it was over.“We don’t know where he is,” the designated leader said, a man with a buzz cut and piercing over his right eye.“He’s a coward who left you to feel the heat of his crimes. Surrender now and the punishment won’t be so steep.”They glanced at each other for a couple of seconds. My offer wouldn’t last long. However, they got down

Summer POV“You cheated,” I told Ezra through the mind-link.“You sound like a sore loser, babe,” he replied.His smugness rattled me. I almost had him!“I want a rematch,” I demanded.“Never,” he said then cut off the mind-link.Oh, how dare he?I arrived at the mansion because that’s where Dad said he would be. He’d just wrapped up a meeting with the Alpha’s court. Now that I had a new title, I couldn’t be part of the Alpha’s court anymore. We needed to hunt for new members. Estelle would leave too because of the baby.I couldn’t wait to tell my sister the great news! Though, she might ask me for a raise. The perks of being a big sister.“Hey Daddy,” I said.He eyed me as if to say ‘Not in front of the Alpha’s court.’His reaction was warranted when Oliver laughed and the other guys snickered.“Hi, Luna Summer,” Brook said.“Luna,” Walker said. They would all have to be briefed about my new title. The change was exciting and daunting at the same time.“Daddy’s little girl,” Oliver t

Summer POVOne Week Later“Are you sure about this colour, Ezra?”“What’s wrong with red?”“Nothing, but red everywhere?”He wanted red booths, red lights for nights and red wallpaper. It’s too much. I had to fight him on the uniforms and draw the line at red wallpaper.“Okay, fine, maybe we can dial it back.”“Aside from your little obsession the bar’s going to be great,” I said, slipping under his arm.“Wait, do I still have a job?” I asked.Ezra snickered. “A few customers complained Summer,” he teased. “I’m afraid I can’t keep you.”“I wouldn’t want to work with your sleazy clientele anyway.”His hand travelled down my back and cupped my ass. “I don’t want my respectable clientele staring at your fine ass either.”He kissed my cheek and gave my ass another squeeze.The bar had been stripped of its old exterior. There was paint on the floor, paper on the counter, and all the booze had been taken down. The upstairs had been fixed and equipped with new tables, floors and wallpaper wh

Summer POVMy vision blurred. Somehow I landed on the ground. I think the sky was on fire. It was bright orange and dark blue. Where was I?“You went too far… Summer,” Clover said weakly.“I’m sorry.” My mouth was dry and my body weighed a truckload of bricks.“Burn it all, burn it to the ground,” the cold-hearted order sent a shiver down my spine.I recognised that voice.He towered over me. His eyes were bright and intense. I coughed and my body groaned. Ezra scooped me off the ground and held me to his chest.“Y-you’re okay,” I crocked.“Thanks to you, Summer.”I cracked a smile. “You’re the Alpha King.”He narrowed his eyes before he lifted his head. I felt another presence to my right.“Take her away,” Ezra ordered.“What? No,” I rasped.Ezra placed me in Walker’s arms. The beta held me securely. Ezra was the one who put me in Walker’s arms but he growled at the beta as if he’d done something wrong.Yeah, he’s back to his old self.“Trust me, mate. We’ll be together before the su

Summer POVThe sun hung heavy in the sky. I pleaded with it to stay up a little longer because I didn’t know what I would do when darkness came.Augustus had an office in the building too. I’d rather be in the dungeon with Ezra but Kingsley only just stopped looking for me. It was suspicious.Dad left hours ago to rally an army. It would take them forever to get here. Oliver stayed. For the first time since we arrived. He looked worried.“Here,” Preston said, offering me a glass of water.“Thanks,” I replied.Augustus blew smoke out of his nose before resting the cigarette on the table.“They had it all planned. We can’t get an army here on a whim. They’ll be ready.”I thought about Hunter countless times. He was an Alpha god, he should have some authority here. However, his powers came at a price. We learnt that when he healed my Dad he turned into a gamma.Oliver ran a hand down his face. “Roman said, to stay put. We can’t sit idly though. I feel useless.”“They’ll kill you on the s

Summer POV“Summer, go, if you won’t listen to me as your mate listen to me as your Alpha,” he ordered.I smirked and leaned close enough to bump his nose with mine. “You can’t make me.”“What? Yes, I can!”“No, your wolf is neutralized so you can’t force me.”He bowed his head. “I just want to protect you.”“Neither of us is going to win this game. We care about each other too much.”“There you are! Kingsley just banished your Father,” Gage said.I thought it was the guards returning from their paid break when I heard the door open. He adjusted his blue suit as he neared us.“You?” Ezra barked. “What are you doing here?” He rattled the metal bars keeping him locked up.Gage grinned and draped an arm around my shoulder. “Nice to see you again, buddy. You quit, calling me.”“Get your filthy hands off her!” Ezra growled. His eyes nearly flashed with his wolf. It was so fast it almost didn’t happen. It was like a bulb trying to flick on but failing.Gage noticed it too.“Summer and I hav

Summer POVThe grouchy but slightly good-looking Alpha smirked maliciously. He had the silver fox look going on. “I’ll be damned before that happened.”I crossed my arms over my chest. “Are you against women being Alpha?”“There are female Alphas but none that have sat in the Alpha’s council.”I rolled my eyes. “Well, Mister, if you ask me. The Alpha’s council is outdated anyway. Let Alpha Ezra go and your Packs won’t feel the effects once he’s out!”He brushed off my comments as if they were merely wind.“Ezra’s not going anywhere. Aside from taking three Packs illegally, he’s responsible for the deaths of three Alphas and entire councils and elders. That sort of behaviour is unwarranted! We can’t allow a tyrant to become Alpha King.”“You don’t have any proof!” I shouted.“Well, see about that. I suggest you leave or else I’ll lock you up.”“I’m not leaving until you tell me what you’re going to do to him.”“Relax, Summer, he’s an arrogant old wolf. He’s not going to help us,” Clove

I didn’t like the glint in his eyes and the smirk that spread on his face. I was tempted to take a step back but the last thing to show an Alpha was fear.He reached out and stroked the bump from when I head-butted Nolan. I was stunned by his openness.“You’ve been here less than an hour and you’ve already gotten into trouble, how amusing. But it matches your reputation. I’ve heard you’re a handful.”“Where did you hear that from?” I gasped.He took a step closer. So close I could smell Katrina’s expensive perfume on his trousers.“From Ollie and Vance. I’m sure you remember them.”My eyes turned to saucers. How could I forget the man who nearly kidnapped me? It felt like a lifetime ago. Ezra and I have been through so much since then. Ollie grabbed me as I left the bar at night. Ezra beat him. That night we also shared our first kiss.There was no time for me to blush.“How do you know them?” I demanded. “Do they work for you?”The tall man with broad shoulders wearing a dark blue su

Summer POV“I’m only coming out if Ezra leaves with me!”“You’re not the Luna here. You don’t have authority,” Nolan yelled.He snapped his fingers twice and pointed at me. the guard I bribed rolled his eyes.“Get her out. Use force if you must.”“Hey! Touch my wife and I’ll slaughter you all!”Fear descended on Nolan and his minion friends. Nolan swallowed and smoothed his shirt.“You’re behind bars and your wolf is asleep. There’s nothing you can do to anyone,” Nolan said, shakily.“I’m a patient man and I’ll remember you, Nolan! All of you.”Some of the minions cowered but Nolan maintained his shaky composure. The guard opened the cell and stared at me. Our partnership wasn’t over. I’d need him later so I left willingly.“I’ll see you later my love.”“The Alpha’s council will dictate that. As they will decide your fate! Your disrespect will be punished!”“We’ll see about that,” I challenged.“You disrespectful—“ he raised his hand to slap me.It happened so fast. Ezra yelled and ra
