Summer's POV.Gazing at the room, I felt nothing but pain, regrets, and emptiness. I was just so sad knowing that the one man whom Alpha Alexander loved so much and cared about was dead, and it was all my fault.I caused it. I caused him to die. The memories of that day came back to my mind, and I couldn't help but remember how he had fallen to the ground and stopped breathing.I had run out of my sick bed to see why Alpha Alexander was screaming and how the doctor pronounced Alpha Hale a dead Alpha."I caused it all... I was just a beast, as Ava said!" Tears began to trickle from my eyes as they trailed down my pale-looking cheeks."I'm sorry, Alpha Hale!" I cried so hard as I tightened my grip on the bed sheets placed on my bed.My bags were already packed up, and I was ready to leave, but then, what if Alpha Alexander wouldn't want to see me? What if everyone in the mansion never wanted to lay their eyes on me again?I wished for a second that I had just died instead of taking Alph
Alexander's POV.I kept hearing noises from outside my room, and at that point, I couldn't help but leave my room. It was obvious that Summer was the one facing the humiliation, and Ava was behind it.I walked out of my room, and standing before me was Ava with her hands lifted to the air, ready to hit my mate.My rage boiled, and I couldn't help but tighten my fist in anger. Ava was crossing the line."Let my mate go!!!" I commanded, and at that moment, Ava's hand was hanging in the air.She dared not hit Summer before me, not when she knew what she had done to her and my father.I walked over to where Summer and my boys were standing, and for the first time in days, I was happy to see Summer."Alpha Alexander!" She exclaimed as she rushed towards where I was standing and embraced me tightly.She had obviously cussed herself for my father's death, and I wouldn't blame her for doing so.In her embrace, I found peace, and joy enveloped me as I held her close to my body. Her scent waf
Alexander's POV.Four days later,"What the fuck do you mean, Liam? What do you mean by "you can't find Jayden???!" I growled as I tossed the phone in my hand to the ground, letting it shatter without hesitation."Alpha Alexander, we've searched the pack! We've searched the outer sketch, but we can't seem to find him. He has been hidden!" Liam asserted, taking a step backwards, trying to avoid my rage from hitting him.I understood the fact that he was trying his best, but it just wasn't enough. It had been four days since my son was taken away from me.Summer had completely gone insane knowing that Jayden wasn't with her, and his brothers cried all night and day because of him.I missed him too, and knowing his health status made it difficult for me to breathe and reason straight.Several thoughts would pop into my head each time the search team told me that he hadn't found yet.It always made me furious, and at this point, I just couldn't hold it back. I couldn't take my mind off th
Ava's POV."I guess you are about to get exposed today." Watching Alpha Alexander's glare fixed on Jackson left me reeling at what he had in mind.Was he insinuating that Jackson was the one behind the rogue's attack? What were his thoughts?Several thoughts. skimmed through my head, and I found myself panicking at this point. Not for anything but for the fact that I'd be caught soon."Come on, Jackson... let's leave! It's obvious that he has nothing to say to us!" I grabbed Jackson's hand immediately and was going to leave Alexander's sight, but I guess I was too late."Ava!?" He called out, his voice so audible that it shook my bones, making me jerk immediately."Don't you dare call my mate that way, Alexander? Don't you dare!!! She has done nothing, so the earlier you get it, the better for you!" Jackson defended me, and I didn't hesitate to hide my anxiety."Let's just leave, Jack!" I tried convincing him again, but this time, Alexander sneered."We both know that Ava is nothing b
Ava's POV.2 weeks…"Ava, darling, you don't have to do this!! You don't have to risk your life just for that bitch!" My mother pleaded with me, her eyes becoming all moist and her hand clutching mine as she tried to convince me.She tried making me stay back in the house and hide for all my life, but one thing she failed to understand was the fact that I just couldn't stay back.I couldn't stay back and watch Summer become the Luna of the Ravenwood Pack. That was my position; that has always been my position, and if it meant risking my life just to get it back, then I was willing to do so even if it meant my blood spilling on the ground."I'm sorry, Mom, but there's no going back this time! You can't make me change my mind because it has already been made!" I declared, and with my fist clenched, I pulled my hand out of her grip.I was going to walk out of the house with rage boiling in my heart when suddenly, my mother rushed to stand before me."No, Ava... I can't lose you, please!
Final Battle…Summer's POV."Alexander…" I mumbled beneath my breaths, my eyes becoming all blurry and my heart racing at the sight of my mate on his knees before Ava.Just then, I saw her hand lifted to the air, and from how her claws spiralled out, it was obvious that she was going to kill Alexander. It was possible that she wanted to end his life, just as she had ended Jackson's.I wished to stop her; I wished to push her aside, but I was just too weak to do so. I coughed up blood, and it was obvious that I was dying as a weak Omega.I couldn't save my mate, I couldn't save my boys, and I couldn't save the pack. My heart was filled with regrets, and for a split second, I prayed to the moon goddess for the strength to end it all.The strength to get Ava and end her life.At this point, a surge of power unexpectedly overcame me, and I found myself becoming filled with so much energy and power.My wounds healed, but not totally, and my view became clearer. One thing was obvious: the
Summer's POV."I bet he can't wait to be surprised by me tonight!" A fulfilling smile suddenly twisted across my lips as I looked at the gift box I had in my hand.It was my boyfriend's birthday today, and no matter how broke I was, I was still willing and ready to surprise him.I was still ambling closer to my room so I could keep the box and get dressed for the night party at the Pack's Mansion when I was suddenly pulled out of a trance by my stepsister's moaning."Oh, Yeah!!! Yeah!! Fuck me, hit me!"I paused for a second, feeling irritated by her whispers from her room. It was obvious that she was being banged from behind by one of the werewolves in our pack."So disgusting!" I scoffed and was going to ignore her and leave, but then I was stopped in my tracks instantly by a familiar voice.I was sure I recognized that voice from somewhere since it rang a bell in my head, but I begged silently to the moon goddess that it shouldn't be who I thought it was.I turned on my heels at th
Summer's POV."What?" My voice rang out in shock as I turned my gaze back to Sarah, tears tracing a path down my pallid cheeks.How heartless was it of her to put out my mother's life as a threat? At that moment, I wished she had never moved into my father's life, never been thrust into my world."Summer dear, listen carefully! Disobey me, and you'll be sent out of the Ravenwood pack, stripped of any family ties!" Her words were sharp and biting, her arms crossed over her chest as she locked eyes with me."She's not lying, Summer! Moreover, the contract includes a hefty sum of 500 billion dollars, more than enough for your mom's surgery expenses! Marry the Alpha in my stead, and your mother's well-being is guaranteed!" Ava's voice broke through the tension, her words gentle as she stepped out of her room, flanked by Jackson. Behaving like she was innocent. It was clear to me that she was putting on an act, pretending to be sincere, and I wasn't buying it.My mother held an irreplace
