Ezra 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

Ezra POVA run was just what I needed to cool off. My Alpha General was on my neck for taking Blake’s pack I didn’t mean to but he needed to be punished. The best thing for me to do to prevent him from retailing was to put a permanent Alpha there as soon as possible. I offered Roman the job but he didn’t want anything to do with his ex – Summer’s Mom.We had run for hours and most of these guys could keep going but I was ready to return to my warm mate. It had been a successful run and there was one tomorrow but I was going to spend the night with Summer. There were a thousand things I could come up with for us to do.“Come on, Ezra, you’re giving up already?” Noah asked through our link.I sniffled and kept walking. “I’m done.”“He really is an old man,” Oliver replied through our link.“We’ve got two old men in our group,” Noah add

Summer POVHe hung up on me! He’s probably in the council meeting I rationed. I went back to cleaning the tables at the bar. I hadn’t been here in ages and it oddly felt good to be busy.“Hey! Do you even still work here?” Lettie said with glee from the bar.“Barely. I’m about to put out vacancies,” Marley replied.I shook my head at her. “I’ve been busy lately.”“She’s going to be even busier with her mating ceremony coming up,” Wren sang as she wandered between the empty tables.“There is no mating ceremony.”When two powerful Alpha’s have sex it causes a power surge. The forces of our Alpha wolves spread out among the pack and everyone felt it. It’s supposed to be good for the environment and make wolves stronger. I thought it was a myth until we created one. Though, now everyone knows Alpha Ezra has a fated mate.I still couldn’t fathom how he had two mates. A part of me thought the moon goddess was puni

Summer POVDerek took Lettie into his arms.“This is my fault. I-I don’t know what happened. I couldn’t shift.”Derek eyed me with a raised brow.“Long story… but thank you.”“Don’t thank me. Lucky for us Rocco wanted to stop by a bakery.”“And you made fun of me,” Rocco puffed.I clutched my head as an intense ringing went off.“Summer are you okay?” Derek asked.My vision blurred and all I heard was the ringing sound. Couldn’t they hear the sound? Derek split in two and the ground wobbled.“Mate…” a ghost-like voice said. “Where are you?”I shook my head. I wanted the ringing to stop before it blew my head open.“Please stop,” I whispered almost helplessly.A cold hand landed on my back. I looked up to see Rocco staring at me with concern in his eyes. The ringing went as quickly as it had come. Well, that was unexpected and painful.“Did you guys not hear that?” I asked.

Summer POV“You’re the one standing in my mate’s house,” Sophia responded.I laughed. “Ezra didn’t tell me you were funny.”Sophia clenched her jaw and placed her hand on her hip. She grinned and I swear her eyes twinkled. I couldn’t stand this woman she irritated my wolf. My Alpha female wolf wanted to tackle her to the ground but I returned Sophia’s smile and pushed my wolf away.“Where is Ezra anyway?”“Upstairs, asleep,” I said quickly. “Want to leave a message?”She shook her head and strolled inside, swinging her bag at her side. “I’d rather wait for him to wake up. I’ve got things to talk about with my mate.”I bit the inside of my cheek. This was getting ridiculous. Ezra could not have two mates!“Are you sure you even want this Summer?” Sophia asked, her voice sweet and innocent.“What?”“Ezra’s a lot older than you. He’s an Alpha and he’s in contention to be Alpha King. Do you want the resp

Summer POVEzra dragged me upstairs and pushed me to the bed while he marched into the bathroom to clean his bloody fist.“Aren’t you going to say anything?” I asked.My response was the sound of water running. He hadn’t said a word while he picked up his brother’s unconscious body and took it outside. I knew better than to follow him so I snuck into the kitchen and peeked out the window. Ezra dumped Hunter in the storage shed. He would smell a lot worse than he already did because the shed was a refuge for wildlife.“How did you find him?” he asked.“He was locked in the wall. Do you have secret rooms in the house or what?”It was an old creepy castle it must have more than a few secrets.He folded his arms over his chest. Irritation and frustration rolled off him. I let out a shaky breath. Hunter’s been missing for days and each time I asked about him Ezra brushed me off. I thought they got into a sibling squabble. Unl

Ezra POV“How many were there?” I demanded.“Over a dozen,” Oliver replied.I left Hunter back at the mansion locked and tied in the shed. The rope I used wouldn’t be enough to stop an Alpha wolf unfortunately but it was the best I could do at short notice.“Recognize anyone?” I asked.“Yes, the gamma. Looks like he was running the operation,” Roman said.The betas got here after the rogues ransacked and trashed the place. They took everything in the cash register but couldn’t get into my safe.“The gamma’s name is Bowen. The one intimidating your busboy,” Noah added.I nodded. “I know who he is. I can’t wait to get my hands on him.”“What’s he got against you man?” Oliver asked then punched my back.I growled. “I don’t know. He’s a roach waiting to be squashed. I’

Summer POV“What are you doing here?” I asked.I was on the verge of fainting. I hadn’t seen this woman in months. Her pale blue eyes and golden blonde curls caught me off guard. Her stern stare levelled me like it did when I was younger. I was a grown-ass woman she couldn’t intimidate me anymore but here I was practically shaking.She threw her head back and laughed. “Me? You’ve gotten into a lot of shit Summer.”“Everything is fine,” I whispered, I didn’t believe myself.“Worse off you dragged your sister into this mess!”“Estelle’s fine,” I said.During the interaction with my Mom, I felt Ezra’s dominant presence behind me.She had her usual ugly brown bag. She dug into it and pulled out a crumbled piece of paper. She thrust it at me. Ezra grabbed it instead.“Why are you here? I haven’t heard from you in months,” I said firmly.She exhaled deeply dug into her favourite brown bag and yanked out a piece of crumpled paper. Ezra snatched it before I could.“What the hell is this?” Ezra

Summer POV“What do you mean he doesn’t have a scent?” I asked.“I think you didn’t notice because you didn’t have a wolf. Derek doesn’t have a scent. He doesn’t smell like anything other than his cheap cologne.”I saw him after I got my wolf too. How did I not notice he didn’t have a scent?“There are wolves without scents though,” I said.It’s rare but it’s happened before.“Or he’s hiding something,” Estelle frowned, digging around for her clothes.I grimaced. I didn’t want to think about this.“I’ve got to go,” I said.“Where are you going?”“I’ve just got to go. Clean this place up.”“Ugh, you sound like Mom!” Estelle scowled.***My Mom was in town and someone had to tell Dad his old flame was in town. He was going to avoid her like the plague but I had serious issues on my hands. The idea of Derek hiding something made my skin crawl. He helped us out twice and he’s given me information that checks out but if there’s something I’ve learned about Whispering Hollow is things were

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
