He 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

Summer POV“Yup, that mark is definitely gone.” Henrietta yanked my shirt down and proceeded to her workstation also known as her living room.“Gone where though?”“It’s fishy honey, but it’s a good thing. You won’t get wolf sickness anymore. Isn’t that great?” Henrietta beamed.“I guess so but Jacob’s family aren’t the nicest people I don’t think they’d take the curse away for no reason.”“I know. Gardenia Sullivan has a notorious reputation that’s worse than her husband’s.”I grimaced and nodded. I’d only met her a handful of times. I knew she didn’t like me but Jacob always put his family in their place when it came to me.“She has a right to come after me I killed her son.”“Her son had no right to put his hands on you. I’m going to put more protection magic on you. Just to be safe.”That might not protect me from Jacob’s overambitious siblings but it will slow them down.“Alright.”I arrived home an hour later. I wanted to change and sneak out to meet Estelle but Dad appeared ou

Summer POV“What do we do?” Estelle yelled.“Keep him down before he destroys the place,” I said.The few shoppers in the store ran out as soon as Hunter started convulsing. I tried to link Ezra but I only managed to get a few words through before the ringing started again.The beast appeared out of nowhere, foaming at the mouth, eyes red like hell. He knocked over groceries, and liquids split on the floor. I shoved Estelle forward as Hunter took a swipe at me. A few inches closer Hunter would have sliced my calf open.“Go!”Estelle stopped inches from the door. She turned around and shifted into a beta wolf.What is she thinking?She ran past me and launched herself at the wolf. I can’t shift at a whim. My heart hammered in my chest. Estelle dodged the wolf’s blows.I called on Clover but she was tucked in the far corner of my mind.“Come on I need to help Estelle,” I pleaded.Clover stirred. A wolf barked but I couldn’t tell if it was my sister or Hunter. I was done pleading with Cl

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.
