Alpha Jackson’s POV I carried Jaxon to the hospital as quickly as I could. Isaac struggled to walk beside me. But he made it. I don’t think he has ever been into the Crystal Lake Pack as a guest before. Maybe as a rogue years ago. But right now, he looks worse than he smells. He must have taken a fair beating to protect Jaxon. “Where is Elizabeth?” I called out as we entered the hospital. “She’s in the King’s room” was the response I got. With Isaac still following me and Jaxon in my arms. I made my way to the first floor, where the King's room was. “Alpha. Alpha Jackson, Alpha Jackson.” I heard a voice coming from behind me, and I could hear footsteps. I can’t see who it is, nor do I recognize the voice. But they are heading my way. I could see it was Kerin as she got closer. “The Blackwood kids were missing when...” She stopped speaking and was staring at Isaac, cocking her head as if trying to process something. Strangely, Isaac was smiling at her while he held his ches

Gale’s POV I followed that so-called friend of mine towards a hospital room. I can’t believe, at any point in the last six years, he couldn’t drop in any conversation about him being a Wolf King. I mean, I knew he had a strong aura. I assumed he was an Alpha. But never would I have thought he was a Wolf King. How stupid am I? What was he actually doing out there? We slept rough nearly every night, bathed in freezing icy lakes, we stole toiletries and now I find out he is minted. I will give him a piece of my mind at some point today. But I have just found my brother. Discovered my sister has been hiding out in this pack and has been kidnapped. I am surprised steam isn’t coming out of my ears, because I know my wolf Franz is going berserk. Deceit and revenge are all that is on his mind. I think all that is keeping us both sane is that Rayne is here right now. Zen always manages to have that effect on Franz as well. We know our place in the hierarchy of things a

Alpha Jackson’s POV The Wolf King has summoned me. This will not be good. “Jaxon had a vision of a tire warehouse. I need to know where it is right now!” He barks at me. I tried telling him that there wasn't one in this territory. When he walks towards me, I fear for my life. “I may know someone who knows where there is one!” I say, trying to pacify him. I mind-link Kerin, insisting she bring Isaac to me. I don’t know what the King will make of a rogue being here. But if he gives him the answer he wants, I don’t think he will care. When Isaac arrives at the King’s room, Jaxon goes running to him, hugging his leg and the King snarls “rogue.” Jaxon gave a confused look, “I don’t care what he is, he saved my life.” snuggling into his leg. “I will explain everything to your majesty, but Isaac is the best chance of finding Summer right now.” I said, trying to calm the situation down. “You can’t trust rogues,” The King declared. “We have had a treaty w

Rayne’s POV Nathan had given his commands. We are all going as a team to the tire warehouse. Alpha Jackson, Jax, and the man who rescued him are driving. I now know he is a rogue leader named Isaac. A load of shorts were put in the back of their truck. It is going to be cutting it close, night fall is coming, and Zen will be disappearing soon. But I can’t worry about myself right now. Summer needs us. Now more than ever! “We can’t let her down, not when we have just got her back.” I tell Zen just before I shift, letting him take control. Zen’s POV I usually lead the Royal Guard, but right now we are following our King’s lead. It is strange seeing the two of them, feels like I am seeing double. But Nathan or his wolf Christian will always be the Wolf King to me. My brother is at my side. All working together with one goal. To save Summer and her pups. We run as a pack. It feels as though we are going into battle, not a rescue. But when I get my paws on t

Summer’s POV I wake up when someone throws a bucket of cold water over me. My captors just laughed. I don’t know whether it’s because of my reaction or my humiliation. Either way, there is nothing I can do. I am wearing nothing but a sack and my underwear. Alexis is dormant. I started shivering from the cold. One man takes off his jumper and started drying me. “Why am I here?” I asked him while my teeth chattered. “Someone wants to meet you, Summer. Paid a pretty penny for the meeting, too.” “Why?” I stuttered out “Don’t know or care. We just care about the money. They have taken it a step too far with the water, though.” He says, still trying to soak up the water. Rogue mercenaries, that’s why they let the kids go. They aren’t being paid to take them and it will mean more work. I didn’t know that, but it kept me compliant when threatening them. Hurting Eden wouldn’t have been a part of their plan. “I will double what they paid you.” I said w
