Summer’s POV I was woken up by three energetic toddlers. Who are extremely excited about getting out of the hospital today. They want to sleep in their own beds, play with all their toys, and have their own garden to play in. I agree with them. We have spent far too much time cooped up in the hospital. “Let’s go for a walk and discover a secret family spot.” I tell them all. Like it’s a secret. “Somewhere we can have picnics in the future. Just us.” This makes all of them happy. Especially Evie, who overheard the entire conversation but pretended she hadn’t. The good news for Evie is that she gets the entire afternoon to herself. While we are out exploring, I get a mind link informing me that Alpha Jackson has called for a mandatory pack meeting the next morning. He also tells me he wants to meet me before it, privately. “Great, what have I done now? Could he not give me a break? I have had a busy couple of days.” I asked Alexis. Who just snorts at me. We all get dresse

Summer’s POV His hands feel so good on my body. My head is telling me to stop him. My heart tells me to stop him, but my body wants him to continue. Before I moaned again, I straightened up and asked him to stop. I had to. He looked hurt. I guess he doesn’t put himself out there very often. I mean, he’s attractive enough. He is still a man and I am a woman. I could definitely get some thrills from his body. He would benefit from a good wash and if he could keep his mouth shut. I don’t even mind that he is a rogue. But what bothers me is that he kills for no reason and that is not what I am about. We also have a business arrangement which I can’t jeopardize. I let him know my decision. He took a step closer to me. I feel like I could jump his bones right now. I am that starved for physical contact. But if things go wrong, it’s not worth it, so I put my hands up to stop him. To be honest, I am flattered by his offer. I mean, it’s the only offer I have had in yea

Summer’s POV SUVs started arriving about a week before the Blue Moon, lots of SUVs. Obviously, the Royal Guard and everything they own, by the looks of it. I thought men travelled lightly, but not this lot. On the other hand, they brought their own tents, equipment, and belongings. Several fields have been assigned for them to set up a base near the training field. They work efficiently and fast. It only took two days for them to set everything up. You could see the worry lines on Alpha Jackson, face. The town is abuzz with the appearance of the Royal Guards and their use of the town's amenities. I go about my day as usual, which started with an enjoyable cup of coffee from the local coffee shop. I am trying to avoid the extra people in town. It’s not that there is anything wrong with them. I just don’t need any complications in my life. I have enough of that as it is. They are also the wrong gender for me to deal with. Alexis has been a bit whiney, though. She seems agi

Summer’s POV It's clear that the royal guards are nearby, a few have joined the border patrol. Their main duty is to ensure the safety of the pack borders by preventing any attacks. Which I knew they wouldn’t be seeing as Alpha Jackson had given Isaac their schedule. This allowed anyone who needed my help to receive it. The presence of the royal guards in the town is clear. The shops and cafes have never been busier. This pleases Alpha Jackson, as they are spending money in the pack. But other than that, they ’t causing any problems. I go back to work and the rogue women come undetected. There is no cause for concern. Alpha Jackson had messaged him. “Isaac had reported some unusual scents just outside of the pack territory. But it could just be scents of the royal guards. I am not worried. We have so much extra security here. Who would be stupid enough to attack us?” Isaac had to accept the situation as it was. His pack would lose in a fight against the full force o

Summer’s POV I mind linked Alpha Jackson from the back of the royal guard's wagon. “I’m on my way to the edge of the territory. I don’t know much. I’ll try to keep you updated.” I told him before blocking everything out. I need to concentrate on what is going on around me. I jumped out of the wagon as soon as it stopped. Joining the men to putting on a waterproof suit. “What are you doing?” Rayne questioned me. What does he mean? What am I doing? “I may be needed. If he is injured or unconscious, it may mean his wolf is as well.” I snapped at him as I zipped up my suit. I just hope I can get close enough to stand his aura. He is the King after all. The more powerful the wolf, the stronger its aura. But if Rayne can withstand it, I am sure I can. We have the same genes, after all. We all put on an oxygen mask and carry a cylinder when we enter the wolfsbane mist. I am intrigued by how this was done. The chemist that created it is a genius. I can’t say I’m not nervo
