Tasting Summer Chapter 24
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

Summer POVI woke with a start. My clothes stuck to my skin from sweat. My hair was damp and my limbs ached. The last thing I remembered was falling asleep in Ezra’s arms. The room was dark but there was no way it was still night-time. I pushed the heavy covers aside. I was alone in the massive king-sized bed. I tiptoed to the curtains and pushed them aside.Dark grey clouds blanketed the sky, hiding the sun. I was at Ezra’s mansion but where was he? That was when I heard water running in the bathroom.“Ezra,” I whispered.I walked into the bathroom. He was in the shower with his back towards me. I couldn’t see if his veins were still popping out with venom like yesterday because of the steam from the hot water. He was standing fine though.I watched as he raked his fingers through his hair. I stayed a little longer to watch him lather his Body Wash all over his muscles. I know it sounds creepy. I was con

Summer POVI watched Ezra pull on his clothes to leave and go to the pack house. My clothes were in his bathroom, soaking wet. He planned this somehow…He turned to me, grabbed my chin and pulled me close for a kiss.“I’ll be back before you know it. Lock the doors.”“Like that’s going to stop a wolf.”He closed his lips on mine again in a hard possessive kiss.“If you hadn’t followed me to the shower then maybe I would have taken you,” Ezra said.I laughed. “Me?”“You couldn’t resist me, Summer.”“I recall you being the one who dragged me in, Alpha Ezra.”He grinned. “Summer, I have to leave and I like the sound of my title on your lips.”I stroked his cheek and smiled. “Go, I can only imagine what that girl’s family is going through.”He picked up my han

Summer POV“I don’t have to go with you… I mean he’s your boyfriend and your Dad.”I glared at her.She smiled and popped the driver’s door open.We’re going down together, I thought. Close to twenty betas were wandering around Ezra’s property. Dad, Ezra and Hunter stood by the front door. Hunter was baiting Ezra which was making things worse.“Summer,” Ezra ground out.His rage quickly died when he took me in. “What the hell are you wearing?!”I cringed.“I don’t know, bro, I think she looks kinda hot,” Hunter chuckled.Ezra shoved his brother two feet away. “Fuck off.”“Relax, the little fox next to her looks just as good.”Estelle rolled her eyes and groaned.Ezra marched up to me and gripped my shoulders. “I asked you to do one thing, Summer.”“

Ezra POVI think I was more worried about Blake going after Summer than she was. I just found her I wasn’t about to let some cocky Alpha come between us. However, keeping her out of trouble was harder than I thought. I recalled seeing her in that petite leather skirt last night. I was crossed between intrigue and rage. I thought her uniform skirt was sexy but I was damn wrong.“Ezra?” She tilted her head to the side. “What are you thinking about?”I rubbed my mouth to cover a smirk. I was thinking about her legs.“Nothing. I have something for you.”“What?” she asked.I opened the drawer and pulled out a knife with jagged edges on both sides. I grabbed the handle and stuck it into the desk. Summer scrutinized the knife. I knew she could use it. If she was good enough to become the Alpha’s right-hand woman then she could handle a small knife.“You got me a

Summer POVEzra closed the door behind him. He met my heated glare. I gave him two minutes this is ten minutes later!What was he doing?“What?” he asked.Men can be so clueless.“Ten minutes later?”He smirked and started the car.“Don’t be jealous, Vixen, you know I only have eyes for you.”He didn’t understand the disdain I had for that woman but at the same time the insecurity she made me feel. She was older, beautiful and she was rightfully Ezra’s mate. She had a wolf the wolf council wouldn’t reject Ezra making her the Luna unlike me who was a wolfless disgrace.“Look, Henrietta called and she wants to speak to us. She learned something about your curse.”“She did?”Last time she tried to learn something the person responsible for my curse nearly killed her. She tried to brush it off but she was in pain.

Tasting Summer Chapter 83
Summer POVWhy did I agree to dinner again? Right, I was starving and anything to do with food sounded like paradise! Now I’m wearing a black dinner dress that I feel is over the top and Ellen’s going to make a snarky remark about it.“Stop fidgeting with your dress. It’s sexy.” Ezra gripped my hand and planted it on his thigh.“That’s the problem it’s too much.”“Says who?”“Of course, you don’t think so you’re my mate.”He put the car in park. Ellen and her husband lived in a massive modern mansion. It could put Ezra’s house to shame but Ezra’s castle had a massive amount of land. I could imagine the parties they threw here.Ezra leaned over the console and kissed my forehead.“Just be yourself, Summer. Don’t worry about anything. I’ll be right next to you.”I chewed on my bottom lip and nodded. This would have been easier if I didn’t know Ellen hated me. Maybe she was different around her husband. Ezra and I walked to the front door and were greeted by an elderly woman in a formal
Tasting Summer Chapter 82
Ezra POV“It’s too soon,” I replied.“You’re worried about Gardenia, aren’t you?” She stomped to the fireplace.“I’m not scared of her.”“Oh yeah?” she raised a brow in challenge.“Listen, sweetheart. We’re taking precautions. This little guy’s the heir to my empire, my fortune—”“You have a fortune?” Summer dipped her head to the side.“Of course I do. I live in a castle. I run the most successful bar in town and that doesn’t even cut it.”“It doesn’t?” she asked.Summer didn’t know about my finances. I realized I kept the state of my pockets away from her. I didn’t mean to. I trusted her. She never made me feel like she was after me for money or status.“That’s a conversation we need to have later, but I’ve got a bunch of businesses in my tribe packs. I’ve got trusted people running them. I’m not worried about anything.”It didn’t hurt that I had a dark reputation. It came in handy when people thought about crossing me. It made them think twice.Summer blew a lock of hair out of he
Tasting Summer Chapter 81
Ezra POVI stuffed Summer’s dress in a garbage bag and cleaned up the mess in the bedroom. Blood was never a good sign. It was a warning of things to come. I was tired of this bitch and her threats but it was about time she showed her damn face. Her daughter Veronica penetrated our borders again during our Mating Ceremony.I didn’t tell Summer because I didn’t want her to worry. I know a part of her carries serious guilt for killing Jacob, but it was either him or her, and I was glad it was him and not her.While Summer was in the shower in the other room across the hall, I pulled out my phone and called Vik.“Any news?” I asked.“She’s around. The little bitch.” Saying Vik had family issues was an understatement.“Summer thinks your stepmother’s prowling around. She left us a gift.”“Fuck.”“When I find her, I’ll kill her.”“Listen, Ezra. I think there’s a reason Gardenia’s been buying her time.”“I’m listening.”“Okay, hear me out. I know that woman killed my Father and took everyth
Tasting Summer Chapter 80
Summer POVI woke to the sound of an axe hitting wood. It was still six in the morning what’s with all the noise? Yet the sun didn’t seep into the cabin. It was gloomy like the sky wanted to cry but it was holding it all in. Ezra wasn’t in the bed with me so I assumed the noise was him. I slipped into his shirt and put on my bunny slippers.I passed my wedding dress on the chair in the corner of the room. It was neatly laid on the chair. It was so beautiful I can’t believe I couldn’t wear it again.Ezra booked a cosy cabin near a river in the middle of nowhere. The next cabin was miles away so we weren’t totally alone out here. It was a romantic getaway. I didn’t think we’d have a honeymoon because we’ve lived together for so long.“Should you be chopping wood shirtless?” I called out from the front porch.He paused and straightened his spine— his back muscles“Shouldn’t you be resting?”I smiled. I closed the distance and kissed him. He grabbed my cheek and deepened our kiss.“I thou

Summer POV“So this is the girl who claims to be the future Luna,” Ellen said.How would I respond to that?“I…uh… well…”She eyed me from head to toe. I felt like I was under an X-ray machine. She adjusted her bag, raised her shoulders and continued to stare disapprovingly.I shook my head. “I’m Summer.”“I’m Ellen Turner. Ezra’s Aunt. His Mother was my sister. I’m also an esteemed member of the Pack Council. I take my job very seriously.”She reminded me of an old stuck-up school Principal. I offered Ellen a pressed smile.“I’m sure you do, Ellen.”How did she know I was here? I didn’t want to know.“The Mating Ceremony is a few days away,” she stated.I nodded. “I just have to pick up my dress. Ezra and I have everything organized. You don’t have to worry about anything.”Ellen placed a hand on her chest, threw her head back and laughed. I pressed my lips together. My wolf didn’t like her as much as I did but I forced Clover to be nice.“I have a lot to be worried about. Like the w
Tasting Summer Chapter 78
Summer POV“Hunter won’t let anyone into the room,” Oliver said.“I’m her sister! Her full-blood sister, not even half anymore. I want to see her.”“He’s in his wolf form, Summer and it’s damn terrifying.” Oliver rubbed the back of his head as he spoke.“Give him a minute, Summer. His girlfriend was attacked. If you were in that bed, no one would be allowed in this hospital.”I stared at Ezra. He could be so dramatic.“She got stabbed, Ezra,” I said.“Exactly, and Hunter’s worried, too. Come on, let’s get coffee. If he’s not out by the time we return, then we’ll figure things out.”“Can’t you make him come out?”He slipped an arm around my shoulder, and we began to walk.“I don’t have authority over Hunter anymore. He’s too powerful.”“Right… aren’t you worried about that?”Ezra sighed and punched a button for the elevator doors to open.“I’m more worried about my brother being hunted like an animal and killed for the Solaris Crown.”“That won’t happen. Remember, Hunter is really powe
Tasting Summer Chapter 77
Hunter POVShe tasted like cherry and vanilla. I dove my fingers into my hair, tugging as our lips connected. Estelle was a wildfire yet as delicate as ice. Never met a girl who could kid my ass and mend my heart all at once. I think I knew a while ago that I was screwed.“Ah Hunter,” she moaned.I growled into her lips. I lifted her thighs. Gosh, I loved her thighs and flipped her over so I was on top. I caressed her arms and lifted them over her head. I paused and stared into her eyes. I could do this my whole life. Which was scary I’d never thought about that before with any woman.“Hey, come on!”I chuckled. “Impatient much?”She bit her bottom lip. I rolled my hips forward, filling her up completely as gently as I could. She changed up my entire style. She might have been a badass out there in the real world. Estelle could kick anyone’s ass. Yet when she was with me the real Estelle came out. The shy, delicate and soft Estelle. She was soft in more ways than one. I scooped her in
Tasting Summer Chapter 76
Summer POV“Don’t worry he’ll be fine. I didn’t realize my own strength but I removed whatever dark spell was rooted in him.”Ezra and Hunter with Estelle arrived ten minutes ago. They hauled Dad upstairs to his room. Rachel and her family cleared out before Ezra arrived. Good, I didn’t want to deal with them ever again.Dad hadn’t woken up though he was breathing easily.I nodded and rubbed my eyes, itching to spill tears.“There’s something else though,” Hunter rubbed the back of his head.“What?” Estelle asked before I could.“I…uh… look I didn’t know it would happen!”“Spit it out Hunter,” Ezra growled. Ezra placed his hand on my shoulder and massaged it.“I couldn’t heal him without taking something from him apparently it’s how my powers work. So I took his rank. He’s not an Alpha anymore.”“Oh fuck, Hunter,” Ezra exhaled.“It was either that or let him die. I’m sorry girls.”“Whatever,” Estelle mumbled.I glared at her. “He can’t be the Alpha General anymore because he’s not an
Tasting Summer Chapter 75
Summer POV“You’ve had a problem with my wife since you met her, admit it,” Dad grumbled.“Yes, I admit it. I hate the fact you made me sleep in the basement when there was a perfectly good room upstairs without rats!”“We’ll talk about that later,” Dad said, shoving the front door open.“Oh, honey you’re back early,” Marcella said.“Were you doing something?” I accused.She rolled her eyes. “And you brought this one.”“Summer’s not staying long,” Dad said. I swear I saw sweat on his brow. It wasn’t hot in the house by any chance.“Of course, she still has to clean out her room. I want to convert the basement into an in-house gym!” She clapped her hands.I rolled my eyes dramatically and made sure it lasted long enough for her to see it.“Yes, Summer should get her things,” Dad said.He wasn’t sounding like himself again. I should have come with backup but I was here now and I couldn’t back out.“What did you do to him, Marcella? Aside from lie!”Marcella placed a hand on her chest an
