Ezra POV

My 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 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?

    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

    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 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 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’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“Vampire wings would be amazing right now,” Estelle said, struggling to get to the upper-level window.“Why can’t I stand on your shoulders?” I grunted.“I’m lighter.”“Ugh, says who?”Ezra was in the car. He was the getaway driver. After I was kidnapped he wouldn’t let me travel at night even when I told him I would be with Estelle tonight. He thought I was a defenceless puppy out in the rain. He wouldn't take me seriously if he saw me now behind the house with my sister on my shoulders.He gave us thirty minutes to check on my Dad before he stepped in and ordered Marcella to let us. Frankly, that would be easier than this. He abandoned his meeting to be with me. He didn’t tell them what we were up to because Rachel would have alerted her Mother.I don’t want to overthink this but Marcella gave me no choice. Maybe she just wanted me out of the picture entirely. She made it clear she didn’t like me when I showed up here several months ago.I dropped Estelle and she landed w

    Ezra POVI stuffed Summer’s dress in a garbage bag and cleaned up the mess in the bedroom. Blood was never a good sign. It was a warning of things to come. I was tired of this bitch and her threats but it was about time she showed her damn face. Her daughter Veronica penetrated our borders again during our Mating Ceremony.I didn’t tell Summer because I didn’t want her to worry. I know a part of her carries serious guilt for killing Jacob, but it was either him or her, and I was glad it was him and not her.While Summer was in the shower in the other room across the hall, I pulled out my phone and called Vik.“Any news?” I asked.“She’s around. The little bitch.” Saying Vik had family issues was an understatement.“Summer thinks your stepmother’s prowling around. She left us a gift.”“Fuck.”“When I find her, I’ll kill her.”“Listen, Ezra. I think there’s a reason Gardenia’s been buying her time.”“I’m listening.”“Okay, hear me out. I know that woman killed my Father and took everyth

    Summer POVI woke to the sound of an axe hitting wood. It was still six in the morning what’s with all the noise? Yet the sun didn’t seep into the cabin. It was gloomy like the sky wanted to cry but it was holding it all in. Ezra wasn’t in the bed with me so I assumed the noise was him. I slipped into his shirt and put on my bunny slippers.I passed my wedding dress on the chair in the corner of the room. It was neatly laid on the chair. It was so beautiful I can’t believe I couldn’t wear it again.Ezra booked a cosy cabin near a river in the middle of nowhere. The next cabin was miles away so we weren’t totally alone out here. It was a romantic getaway. I didn’t think we’d have a honeymoon because we’ve lived together for so long.“Should you be chopping wood shirtless?” I called out from the front porch.He paused and straightened his spine— his back muscles“Shouldn’t you be resting?”I smiled. I closed the distance and kissed him. He grabbed my cheek and deepened our kiss.“I thou

    Summer POV“So this is the girl who claims to be the future Luna,” Ellen said.How would I respond to that?“I…uh… well…”She eyed me from head to toe. I felt like I was under an X-ray machine. She adjusted her bag, raised her shoulders and continued to stare disapprovingly.I shook my head. “I’m Summer.”“I’m Ellen Turner. Ezra’s Aunt. His Mother was my sister. I’m also an esteemed member of the Pack Council. I take my job very seriously.”She reminded me of an old stuck-up school Principal. I offered Ellen a pressed smile.“I’m sure you do, Ellen.”How did she know I was here? I didn’t want to know.“The Mating Ceremony is a few days away,” she stated.I nodded. “I just have to pick up my dress. Ezra and I have everything organized. You don’t have to worry about anything.”Ellen placed a hand on her chest, threw her head back and laughed. I pressed my lips together. My wolf didn’t like her as much as I did but I forced Clover to be nice.“I have a lot to be worried about. Like the w

    Summer POV“Hunter won’t let anyone into the room,” Oliver said.“I’m her sister! Her full-blood sister, not even half anymore. I want to see her.”“He’s in his wolf form, Summer and it’s damn terrifying.” Oliver rubbed the back of his head as he spoke.“Give him a minute, Summer. His girlfriend was attacked. If you were in that bed, no one would be allowed in this hospital.”I stared at Ezra. He could be so dramatic.“She got stabbed, Ezra,” I said.“Exactly, and Hunter’s worried, too. Come on, let’s get coffee. If he’s not out by the time we return, then we’ll figure things out.”“Can’t you make him come out?”He slipped an arm around my shoulder, and we began to walk.“I don’t have authority over Hunter anymore. He’s too powerful.”“Right… aren’t you worried about that?”Ezra sighed and punched a button for the elevator doors to open.“I’m more worried about my brother being hunted like an animal and killed for the Solaris Crown.”“That won’t happen. Remember, Hunter is really powe

    Hunter POVShe tasted like cherry and vanilla. I dove my fingers into my hair, tugging as our lips connected. Estelle was a wildfire yet as delicate as ice. Never met a girl who could kid my ass and mend my heart all at once. I think I knew a while ago that I was screwed.“Ah Hunter,” she moaned.I growled into her lips. I lifted her thighs. Gosh, I loved her thighs and flipped her over so I was on top. I caressed her arms and lifted them over her head. I paused and stared into her eyes. I could do this my whole life. Which was scary I’d never thought about that before with any woman.“Hey, come on!”I chuckled. “Impatient much?”She bit her bottom lip. I rolled my hips forward, filling her up completely as gently as I could. She changed up my entire style. She might have been a badass out there in the real world. Estelle could kick anyone’s ass. Yet when she was with me the real Estelle came out. The shy, delicate and soft Estelle. She was soft in more ways than one. I scooped her in

    Summer POV“Don’t worry he’ll be fine. I didn’t realize my own strength but I removed whatever dark spell was rooted in him.”Ezra and Hunter with Estelle arrived ten minutes ago. They hauled Dad upstairs to his room. Rachel and her family cleared out before Ezra arrived. Good, I didn’t want to deal with them ever again.Dad hadn’t woken up though he was breathing easily.I nodded and rubbed my eyes, itching to spill tears.“There’s something else though,” Hunter rubbed the back of his head.“What?” Estelle asked before I could.“I…uh… look I didn’t know it would happen!”“Spit it out Hunter,” Ezra growled. Ezra placed his hand on my shoulder and massaged it.“I couldn’t heal him without taking something from him apparently it’s how my powers work. So I took his rank. He’s not an Alpha anymore.”“Oh fuck, Hunter,” Ezra exhaled.“It was either that or let him die. I’m sorry girls.”“Whatever,” Estelle mumbled.I glared at her. “He can’t be the Alpha General anymore because he’s not an

    Summer POV“You’ve had a problem with my wife since you met her, admit it,” Dad grumbled.“Yes, I admit it. I hate the fact you made me sleep in the basement when there was a perfectly good room upstairs without rats!”“We’ll talk about that later,” Dad said, shoving the front door open.“Oh, honey you’re back early,” Marcella said.“Were you doing something?” I accused.She rolled her eyes. “And you brought this one.”“Summer’s not staying long,” Dad said. I swear I saw sweat on his brow. It wasn’t hot in the house by any chance.“Of course, she still has to clean out her room. I want to convert the basement into an in-house gym!” She clapped her hands.I rolled my eyes dramatically and made sure it lasted long enough for her to see it.“Yes, Summer should get her things,” Dad said.He wasn’t sounding like himself again. I should have come with backup but I was here now and I couldn’t back out.“What did you do to him, Marcella? Aside from lie!”Marcella placed a hand on her chest an

    Summer POV“You should go out there, you know,” I whispered into Ezra’s arm.He hissed my forehead. “I know.”“What’s stopping you?”He chuckled into my hair. “I like being in your warmth.”“I think they always had confidence you would defeat Dimitri,” I said.“I didn’t. You and Hunter did.”“Come on, I did not fight against him all night.”He ran a hand down my arm. “I wouldn’t have done it without you, Summer. There are no words to thank you.”“Don’t downplay your role in this Ezra. Come on, Alpha, you have a Pack that’s dying to hear from you.”The corner of his lips raised, and he smiled at the ground sheepishly. “I want to spend the night in my mate’s arms.”I closed the gap between us and kissed him. “You better hurry then.”Ezra changed into black pants and a white t-shirt. I slipped into my pyjamas and followed behind him. The Pack gathered in the front yard, all in their robes or pyjamas, most of them rattled by their peaceful Pack being attacked. I saw the anxiety on their f

    Summer POVI made a small pit stop to our room and slipped into Ezra’s shirt. He scooped me into his arms the second he set foot on the property. His wolves came from all angles of the estate.“Hey, are you okay? Are you hurt?”“You’re the one bleeding, babe.”“I’m fine. What the hell? Why did you make me sound the retreat call? Everyone’s confused and pissed as hell. We’ve been fighting since the sun went down.”“I know, but hear me out—” He paused and stared over my shoulder. He shoved me behind me so hard I tripped and fell on the couch.“Hunter!” Ezra growled.“Whoa, I can explain!” Hunter shouted.Ezra tackled his brother, they landed on the coffee table, glass shattered everywhere.“No, guys stop it!”Estelle and Rachel were just as confused as I was. Oliver rushed in, just as badly beaten up as my mate.“Fuck, guys,” he groaned, attempting to yank Ezra off Hunter but he got an elbow to his nose for his troubles. “Fuck!”“Ezra, Hunter wore the Solaris Crown!” I screamed.The roo
