All Chapters of June Summerfield: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Montana paced the floors of the old house, scratching his face and head. He had to find a way to get June back. Rufus, Alexis, and Daisy all agreed. They couldn’t let Zoran just kidnap her.“Should we split up or stick together?” Daisy asked, trying to get a plan together.“Might as well split up into groups of two. Me and Rufus, you and Alexis. It’s not like us being together would save us if it came down to us or them.” Montana said, feeling the heaviness of his last statement.They all nodded in agreement. The air felt heavy, making it hard for them to breathe.Alexis looked at Daisy. She was still in awe of her beauty. How was she supposed to act normal when she was paired with the most stunning girl she’s ever met?They all set out with their plan clear: split up in groups of two, and return to the house come nightfall.They both went their separate ways. They hadn’t seen which way June and Zoran went so Montana and Rufus went behind the house and Daisy and Alexis went to the lef

Montana and Rufus kept walking, hoping they’d find any signs they had gone this way. They stepped over dead logs and avoided holes from animals as they went deeper and deeper into the woods.The air seemed to become a few degrees cooler, and the light a lot dimmer.“We should probably head back.” Rufus stopped walking and waited on Montana to do the same. “We can try again tomorrow.”That stopped Montana in his tracks. He looked at Rufus with a sadness he’d never seen him wear before.“You don’t hear that?” Montana suddenly asked. Rufus focused on his hearing. Sure enough, there were voices. One of which sounded like Zoran.“Sir, I didn’t find them at the house but I didn’t see them in the woods either.”“Well look again! You can’t expect me to believe that they just gave up that quickly. We can’t have them here, now go find them, and don’t come back until you do.” They heard another man scream.“Yes sir. Sorry, sir.” The voice responded followed by silence.“They must be looking for

Zoran helped teach her how to ride a horse, correcting her form and technique and trying to shape her into a perfect rider. Hopefully, she wouldn’t need to use this knowledge often, but it’s useful to know just in case.He took her back inside for breakfast, telling her he had some work today for a couple of hours so she could wait in the library. She agreed, excited to explore a new room and be around new books.After they ate all their eggs, bacon, and pancakes, Zoran had one of his right-hand men lead her to the library while he took off to his office.June was amazed as she walked through the door. She was welcomed by floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, packed with more books than she’s ever seen. It had multiple floors, each just like the last, with a large oak desk in the middle of the first floor with a computer and was accompanied by a small woman. The nameplate said, Marge. The entire room was just magnificent.The man led her inside and dropped her off, closing the door behind him

“I’d like to apologize.” Zoran started, making direct eye contact with June. She just looked at him, unsure how to respond. Was she supposed to just forgive him now?“Why don’t you take a walk with me? It rained last night and the flowers are even prettier than last time.”“Okay..” June got up, preparing herself for the day. She still felt awful about yesterday and really wanted to just curl up in a ball and sleep. But somehow she knew Zoran wasn’t going to allow that to happen.He helped her get ready and then led her down the stairs and outside, walking her through the garden. He was right, it had rained last night and everything looked a lot brighter. There was a rainbow peaking through the clouds and the air was rich with petrichor.They continued to walk through the flowers and trees until he stopped in front of a large walnut tree.“This tree has been around since the mansion was built, which was way back when I was a child.” June could tell the tree brought back good memories.

Hunter woke up just as the sun was peeking in through the windows, the only source of heat coming from the lit fireplace. He rolled over and looked at June, who was still sleeping.He inched over to her, pressing his bare chest against her back, sharing his body heat with her. He snuggled his face into her neck, feeling her stir as she slowly woke up.“Good morning, my queen.” He whispered in her ear, his voice still groggy from sleeping.“Good morning.” She said as she reached for his hand that was on his waist and pulled it closer to her chin. “How’d you sleep?”“I always sleep well when I’m next to you.”“Oh, shut up. Stop buttering me up like a biscuit.”“Now why would I be doing that?” he asked with a smirk and a small chuckle.“You know why, you pervert.” she shot him a playful glance.They continued to snuggle for a few moments before June rolled over to face him, looking into his dark eyes that somehow radiated content and love.June took a deep breath. Finally, her heart felt
