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’
Summer POV“Stop! Stop, let them go,” Ezra ordered.“What?” Dad and I asked.“I said let them go damn it!”Was he insane? The betas got here quickly. One of them was licking its wounds and we had them surrounded. Why did he want us to let them go?“Ezra?” I said through gritted teeth.He tightened his grip on my waist. He narrowed his eyes on the wolves.Dad nodded for the betas to part. The wolves saw the gap and ran off. They howled as they ran. They could be vulnerable. I feared this was our best shot and we’d just blown it.***Ezra slammed his fists on the car.“Damn it,” Ezra spat.No one questioned the Alpha though it was on the tip of my tongue. He had to have his reasons. We were outside the pack house after the incident. I left Estelle at the bar I didn’t want to worry her and I was sure she was with Hunter so sh
Summer POVEzra kicked the door shut as he dominated my lips. I shrugged out of his hold and locked the door. He grabbed me, picked me up and threw me on the bed. The springs in my mattress cried out.Marcel ripped his jacket off and the outline of his wolf flashed in his eyes. I felt his desire in the pit of my stomach. He climbed on top of me and my heart threatened to fly out of my chest.“Hey,” I hissed, placing my hands on his chest.“Don’t worry about your Dad, he’s drunk out of his mind.”Ezra grabbed my ass and lifted me off the bed. In a second he flipped me over and I gasped.His lips found my neck and I leaned into him. This felt wrong. We shouldn’t be doing this in my Dad’s house. He would kill the Alpha if he found out but I didn’t have the strength to push Ezra off.“Ezra,” I sighed as his lips travelled down my neck.“You’
Summer POV“Lace with wolf’s bane,” Ezra said, placing a knife in my palm. “Silver bullets.” He pulled out a gun from the duffle bag.“Silver’s illegal! You’re not supposed to have this.”He raised his brow at me. “I’m the Alpha.”“What else do you have in there?”“Enchanted chain, courtesy of Henrietta.”I ran my fingers through the large metal chain. “Am I supposed to use this on my wolf?”“It’s an option mate. You don’t have to worry about anyone else attacking you because I’ll rip anyone who comes near you to pieces. It would be a nice way to blow off some steam.”He reached into the duffle bag but I grabbed his arm. I ran my hands up his biceps. He pulled me close and breathed me in.“Thank you,” I whispered.“Don’t.”&ldqu
Summer POV“Let me out!” I slammed my boot against the trunk door but it was useless.I heard them laugh and my heart dropped to my stomach.“No,” I whispered and rolled to my side.The car roared to life and backed out of the property. I was right my wolf was on the property. She was so close but yet so far.My heart ached for Ezra. I knew a door couldn’t stop him not even if it were made of silver.I stuffed a knife from the duffle bag into my boot, but it wasn’t strong enough to open the trunk. It was worth a shot, though. I pulled the knife out of my boot and searched for an opening. It was dark, so I was relying on luck.“Damn it,” I muttered.The car swerved and rocked violently until it came to a crushing halt. I fumbled the knife and sliced my palm as a result.“Ouch.”What happened?I held still and listened for anything. Doors slammed shut and curses went flying. It wasn’t just Conner and Blake but I didn’t recognize the other voices.“Hey!” I screamed.They obviously crashed
Summer POVEzra pulled his shirt over his head and shoved it into his wardrobe. Ugh, men. He pulled off his pants and threw them on the chair in the corner where the rest of his other slightly worn clothes were.I was in his bed watching him. He turned around and caught me. He smirked and I blushed.“Really Summer?”“It was a nice show.”“Will I get one when I come back?”I rolled on my back and he came over to sit on the bed next to me. He stroked my hair and suddenly his face turned serious.“You can come with me. I liked the feeling of having you on my back.”“I don’t want to ruin your night. I’ll be here when you get back.”“Babe, do you want me to stay? I don’t have to go for a run tonight.”He’s the Alpha and he has to lead the run every full moon. I remembered the full moon Ezra and Dad got attacked
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
Ezra POVThe Pack House had been destroyed. The House that stood for centuries had been brought to its knees. My Pack was next. I saw loss and distraction befall the Pack I’ve worked myself to death to build come crumbling before my eyes. 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. I n
