Tasting Summer Chapter 19
Summer POVI rolled on the hard floor and snivelled. I oddly had a lot of space. I opened my eyes and realized I was alone on the living room floor and the fire I went to bed with had gone out leaving behind grey ash.I rolled on my back and blinked at the ceiling. What have I done?“Good morning, princess,” Ezra said.He carried two coffee mugs. He only had a pair of pants hanging low around his waist. He sat next to me and kissed my cheek.“You okay?”I nodded and then my body responded. My back was sore and I could still feel Ezra’s hands digging into my skin from last night.“I’m a little sore but it’s a good sore.”I took the mug from him. I should have come clean last night but instead, I slept with him! I couldn’t control myself when I was with him which was dangerous.“Summer, I didn’t do this,” Ezra’s warm tone turned deadly and cold.His thumb stroked the cut Marcella made with her pocket knife. I snatched my arm back and hid it under the blanket.“Oh, it’s nothing.”“Doesn’

Summer POVI landed on the concrete floor with a thud. My head bounced off the ground and met Blake’s blue-eyed gaze. Conner closed the door behind him. That bastard, I shouldn’t have thought I could trust him.“Summer, I’ve thought about you for months,” Blake began.“So have I. I can’t say they were good thoughts.”Liquid rolled down the side of my head. I touched the liquid. It was blood.“Look at that you can’t heal yourself anymore. How tragic,” Blake smiled.“Because of you!” I yelled.“Shut up,” he scowled.“I bet Blake didn’t tell you that, did he?” I looked at Conner.Conner held my stare and lifted his chin. “He’s the Alpha and his word is the law and everything he said about you is the truth.”“What did he say?” I rasped.“That you deserve to die!” Conner lurched forward.Blake stuck his large toned arm out to block Conner from coming any further.I sat up and crawled backwards to a brick wall. We were in the developing neighbourhood Ezra brought me to one night after work.

Ezra POVI parked in front of Luther’s Mart. Luther was a gamma, he had two beta sons who were about to join my army. I found him outside with his youngest son trying to clean up a mess of broken eggs and condiment bottles.I climbed out of the car.Summer texted me over twenty minutes ago. She couldn’t have gotten tired of waiting already.“Alpha! Thank the goddess you’re here,” Luther threw his arms in the air.“Something happen?” I asked.“Some guys jumped a girl. Dad came out to help but they knocked him down.”My heart sank. Please don’t let it be Summer.“What did they look like?” I demanded.“It was the human girl. I didn’t get a good look at the other guy but the one who attacked Dad was a tall blond dude.”Summer’s scent was all over the place. They hadn’t nabbed her a long time ago. I told Luther I’d take care of it. I yanked out my phone and called Hunter as I marched to my truck.Hunter didn’t pick up. Damn it, Hunter.Red Claw took her who else could it be? My wolf jumpe

Summer POVEzra traced my fugitive mark. I think he was circling both of them I couldn’t tell. I lay on my belly in his bed. It felt good to have everything out in the open.My Dad wasn’t happy. He wasn’t talking to Ezra. I just hoped he wouldn’t resign out of anger.“Do you think Blake cursed you?” Ezra asked.I puffed. “I can’t think of anyone else. Henrietta said she could help me figure it out.”“Curse first then we find your wolf,” Ezra said placing kisses on my back.He kissed down to the small of my back before he pressed soft kisses on my butt. I tilted my head back and moaned. He continued his exploration.“I’m just…”Ezra pried my cheeks apart.“I… think…”A grunt bubbled from his throat as a response.His soft lips found my ready and willing clit. I bit my bottom lip. Ugh, I couldn’t even get a word out. He kissed my bud tenderly and attentively. It wasn’t long ago that he was between my legs filling me up until we both fell over the edge of paradise.“I thought you wanted t

Summer POV“Come on Henrietta wake up. Gosh, what happened?”I ran to the kitchen and filled a plastic cup with what. If I called an ambulance how would I explain this? The last thing I needed was to be accused of killing Henrietta. I hurried to her and splashed water on her pale face.She flinched and took in small breaths until she broke into a fit of coughs.“You’re okay,” I breathed a sigh of relief.She cradled her head and nodded. “That hasn’t happened since I was a teenager. That’s one hell of a curse.”My face fell. “The moon goddess did curse me, didn’t she?”“No Honey, she didn’t. This was an individual as solid as you and me but they don’t want to be known.”I shrugged. “Thanks for trying.”“I’m not giving up. My ego might be a little wounded but we’re trying this again. I just need a nap.”“Of course.”I asked Henrietta if she needed anything else before I left. I was positive Blake was behind my curse and I was going to confront him about it. Ezra might think I’m an egg bu

Summer POVThe creature went for the kill and jumped on the rogue. It bit into his leg and the rogue cried out.Ezra shoved his phone at me.“Call for backup.”The man I was falling for grabbed the creature by its hind legs and yanked but it was as if he was trying to lift three manhole covers at once.I dialled Hunter but the phone just rang. It was useless we weren’t dealing with an ordinary wolf. The rogue cried out. He couldn’t even shift as the creature tore into him. Ezra went from a six-foot man to an eight-foot furry beast in a matter of seconds. He used his force to thrust the creature three feet which was as far as the creature would go.Its silver eyes locked on me and I backed up.Crap.I backed up slower but it had already seen me. Ezra barked and foamed at the mouth but the creature raced toward me.Ezra’s wolf dashed across the parking lot and connected with the terrifying slender wolf. They exchanged claws in the deadliest catfight I’d ever seen. I was so rooted to the

Summer POV“Kid, where are you going?” Dad barked.Of course, he hadn’t left the pack house he might have been cross with Ezra but he was Dad’s Alpha and best friend.“Anywhere but here,” I said with a sigh.“What happened?”“Dad, you knew about Sophia didn’t you?”He tugged on his collar and stared at the dirt. “Uh… yeah… but how did you expect me to tell you about Sophia when I didn’t know you were going out with Ezra?”Good point I couldn’t even be mad at that.“It was… this was a bad idea,” I said, shaking my head.I didn’t want to give him up but the mate bond was an incredible force. Even when Jacob changed leaving him wasn’t an option I wanted to take.“Look, I don’t know about all this, frankly I don’t want to know, but we still have Blake. W

Summer POVI can’t believe he ran off. Or did he go looking for me? I didn’t want him to get hurt even though I was hurting because he had a fated mate. This felt riskier than being a fugitive in his pack. This was so uncertain and it made my heart ache.“Doll Face, there you are,” Hunter breathed a sigh of relief.Hunter walked towards me from the living room. Dad was outside talking to the beta guards.“How did he get away?” I asked.“Have you seen him? He can take out an army if he wants to. If he wanted to get away, then he was going to get away.”Judging by the marks on his neck Ezra wasn’t messing around.“I don’t know what to do. I can’t even track him.” I didn’t have my heightened hearing or a strong sense of smell. I didn’t have the strength to run through trees or connect with nature anymore.I was ove

Tasting Summer Chapter 105
EpilogueEzra POVFOUR YEARS LATER“Draw them to the cliff!” I ordered.Alpha Jackson’s troops were surrounded, his Pack house had been ceased and his troublesome council had been slaughtered. He had no choice but to surrender but the stubborn Alpha refused.My wolves charged, sending the last troop of wolves to the edge of the Cafter Cliff, where they were forced to surrender or die. They were all going to jail for a series of crimes anyway.“Where’s your Alpha?” I demanded.They stared at each other with blank expressions. When I thought they would remain defiant they all shifted back into humans and I knew I had them. Finally, after twelve hours it was over.“We don’t know where he is,” the designated leader said, a man with a buzz cut and piercing over his right eye.“He’s a coward who left you to feel the heat of his crimes. Surrender now and the punishment won’t be so steep.”They glanced at each other for a couple of seconds. My offer wouldn’t last long. However, they got down

Summer POV“You cheated,” I told Ezra through the mind-link.“You sound like a sore loser, babe,” he replied.His smugness rattled me. I almost had him!“I want a rematch,” I demanded.“Never,” he said then cut off the mind-link.Oh, how dare he?I arrived at the mansion because that’s where Dad said he would be. He’d just wrapped up a meeting with the Alpha’s court. Now that I had a new title, I couldn’t be part of the Alpha’s court anymore. We needed to hunt for new members. Estelle would leave too because of the baby.I couldn’t wait to tell my sister the great news! Though, she might ask me for a raise. The perks of being a big sister.“Hey Daddy,” I said.He eyed me as if to say ‘Not in front of the Alpha’s court.’His reaction was warranted when Oliver laughed and the other guys snickered.“Hi, Luna Summer,” Brook said.“Luna,” Walker said. They would all have to be briefed about my new title. The change was exciting and daunting at the same time.“Daddy’s little girl,” Oliver t

Summer POVOne Week Later“Are you sure about this colour, Ezra?”“What’s wrong with red?”“Nothing, but red everywhere?”He wanted red booths, red lights for nights and red wallpaper. It’s too much. I had to fight him on the uniforms and draw the line at red wallpaper.“Okay, fine, maybe we can dial it back.”“Aside from your little obsession the bar’s going to be great,” I said, slipping under his arm.“Wait, do I still have a job?” I asked.Ezra snickered. “A few customers complained Summer,” he teased. “I’m afraid I can’t keep you.”“I wouldn’t want to work with your sleazy clientele anyway.”His hand travelled down my back and cupped my ass. “I don’t want my respectable clientele staring at your fine ass either.”He kissed my cheek and gave my ass another squeeze.The bar had been stripped of its old exterior. There was paint on the floor, paper on the counter, and all the booze had been taken down. The upstairs had been fixed and equipped with new tables, floors and wallpaper wh

Summer POVMy vision blurred. Somehow I landed on the ground. I think the sky was on fire. It was bright orange and dark blue. Where was I?“You went too far… Summer,” Clover said weakly.“I’m sorry.” My mouth was dry and my body weighed a truckload of bricks.“Burn it all, burn it to the ground,” the cold-hearted order sent a shiver down my spine.I recognised that voice.He towered over me. His eyes were bright and intense. I coughed and my body groaned. Ezra scooped me off the ground and held me to his chest.“Y-you’re okay,” I crocked.“Thanks to you, Summer.”I cracked a smile. “You’re the Alpha King.”He narrowed his eyes before he lifted his head. I felt another presence to my right.“Take her away,” Ezra ordered.“What? No,” I rasped.Ezra placed me in Walker’s arms. The beta held me securely. Ezra was the one who put me in Walker’s arms but he growled at the beta as if he’d done something wrong.Yeah, he’s back to his old self.“Trust me, mate. We’ll be together before the su

Summer POVThe sun hung heavy in the sky. I pleaded with it to stay up a little longer because I didn’t know what I would do when darkness came.Augustus had an office in the building too. I’d rather be in the dungeon with Ezra but Kingsley only just stopped looking for me. It was suspicious.Dad left hours ago to rally an army. It would take them forever to get here. Oliver stayed. For the first time since we arrived. He looked worried.“Here,” Preston said, offering me a glass of water.“Thanks,” I replied.Augustus blew smoke out of his nose before resting the cigarette on the table.“They had it all planned. We can’t get an army here on a whim. They’ll be ready.”I thought about Hunter countless times. He was an Alpha god, he should have some authority here. However, his powers came at a price. We learnt that when he healed my Dad he turned into a gamma.Oliver ran a hand down his face. “Roman said, to stay put. We can’t sit idly though. I feel useless.”“They’ll kill you on the s

Summer POV“Summer, go, if you won’t listen to me as your mate listen to me as your Alpha,” he ordered.I smirked and leaned close enough to bump his nose with mine. “You can’t make me.”“What? Yes, I can!”“No, your wolf is neutralized so you can’t force me.”He bowed his head. “I just want to protect you.”“Neither of us is going to win this game. We care about each other too much.”“There you are! Kingsley just banished your Father,” Gage said.I thought it was the guards returning from their paid break when I heard the door open. He adjusted his blue suit as he neared us.“You?” Ezra barked. “What are you doing here?” He rattled the metal bars keeping him locked up.Gage grinned and draped an arm around my shoulder. “Nice to see you again, buddy. You quit, calling me.”“Get your filthy hands off her!” Ezra growled. His eyes nearly flashed with his wolf. It was so fast it almost didn’t happen. It was like a bulb trying to flick on but failing.Gage noticed it too.“Summer and I hav

Summer POVThe grouchy but slightly good-looking Alpha smirked maliciously. He had the silver fox look going on. “I’ll be damned before that happened.”I crossed my arms over my chest. “Are you against women being Alpha?”“There are female Alphas but none that have sat in the Alpha’s council.”I rolled my eyes. “Well, Mister, if you ask me. The Alpha’s council is outdated anyway. Let Alpha Ezra go and your Packs won’t feel the effects once he’s out!”He brushed off my comments as if they were merely wind.“Ezra’s not going anywhere. Aside from taking three Packs illegally, he’s responsible for the deaths of three Alphas and entire councils and elders. That sort of behaviour is unwarranted! We can’t allow a tyrant to become Alpha King.”“You don’t have any proof!” I shouted.“Well, see about that. I suggest you leave or else I’ll lock you up.”“I’m not leaving until you tell me what you’re going to do to him.”“Relax, Summer, he’s an arrogant old wolf. He’s not going to help us,” Clove

I didn’t like the glint in his eyes and the smirk that spread on his face. I was tempted to take a step back but the last thing to show an Alpha was fear.He reached out and stroked the bump from when I head-butted Nolan. I was stunned by his openness.“You’ve been here less than an hour and you’ve already gotten into trouble, how amusing. But it matches your reputation. I’ve heard you’re a handful.”“Where did you hear that from?” I gasped.He took a step closer. So close I could smell Katrina’s expensive perfume on his trousers.“From Ollie and Vance. I’m sure you remember them.”My eyes turned to saucers. How could I forget the man who nearly kidnapped me? It felt like a lifetime ago. Ezra and I have been through so much since then. Ollie grabbed me as I left the bar at night. Ezra beat him. That night we also shared our first kiss.There was no time for me to blush.“How do you know them?” I demanded. “Do they work for you?”The tall man with broad shoulders wearing a dark blue su

Summer POV“I’m only coming out if Ezra leaves with me!”“You’re not the Luna here. You don’t have authority,” Nolan yelled.He snapped his fingers twice and pointed at me. the guard I bribed rolled his eyes.“Get her out. Use force if you must.”“Hey! Touch my wife and I’ll slaughter you all!”Fear descended on Nolan and his minion friends. Nolan swallowed and smoothed his shirt.“You’re behind bars and your wolf is asleep. There’s nothing you can do to anyone,” Nolan said, shakily.“I’m a patient man and I’ll remember you, Nolan! All of you.”Some of the minions cowered but Nolan maintained his shaky composure. The guard opened the cell and stared at me. Our partnership wasn’t over. I’d need him later so I left willingly.“I’ll see you later my love.”“The Alpha’s council will dictate that. As they will decide your fate! Your disrespect will be punished!”“We’ll see about that,” I challenged.“You disrespectful—“ he raised his hand to slap me.It happened so fast. Ezra yelled and ra
