Tasting Summer Chapter 57
Ezra POVThe Pack House had been destroyed. The House that stood for centuries had been brought to its knees. My Pack was next. I saw loss and distraction befall the Pack I’ve worked myself to death to build come crumbling before my eyes. Hunter broke free and the cell doors weren’t strong enough to keep Bowen at bay.My betas were down, Hunter ran off and I was completely alone.I backed Bowen into a corner. My blood was all over the place but my wolf wasn’t backing down. Bowen’s cursed wolf growled and panted. He was tired. He couldn’t do this for much longer.I pounced on him and locked my jaw around his neck.After this I’m getting rid of half the beta army and the rest are going through gruelling routines. How the hell are they all down?“One last chance, who’s your master?” I growled through the mind link.“Go to hell, Ezra.”“Then die.&

Summer POVI spat the disgusting liquid into Dimitri’s eyes. He dropped the bottle, the stuff flew everywhere. He cried out and rubbed his eyes.“Bitch!”Some of that stuff went down my throat. It burnt worse than any vodka ever.Dimitri screamed and knocked over things as he battled to get the liquid out of his eyes.Serves him right for trying to force that stuff down my throat.“Alpha!” Rocco yelled.“What did you do to him?” Sophia cried.I rolled my eyes.A couple more betas entered the room and tried to help Dimitri but he shoved them all off.“You’re going to pay for this. Tie her up!”He clutched his left eye and marched out of the room.Rocco marched over to me and slapped me.My wolf showed restraint.“Prepare,” Clover said.I thought she wanted me to survive this thing and fight later. Though there was no best time to escape and I couldn’t jump out of a window.“You think you’re all that, huh?” Rocco shouted. “Just because you’re an Alpha Female!”“I know I’m all that.”He

Summer POVI vaguely remembered Viktor. His sister I knew and she hated me. He had a striking resemblance to Jacob, but if I remember correctly Jacob and Viktor didn’t get along well. Viktor left Broken Creek a long time ago. Though they were cut from the same rotten cloth he could still be a threat.“What are you doing here?” he asked.He wore loose black pants while I was completely naked.“I-I… was just passing by.”“You’re a long way from Broken Creek,” he said.I wrapped my arms over my chest. “I know… how far from Whispering Hollow?”“You’re a long way from there, but why would you want to go there?”I bit my bottom lip. I didn’t trust him.“If I wanted to kill you I would have done it a long time ago. You’re on my land after all.”“I know your Mother has it out for me what if you just hand me over to her?”He frowned. “I could. I haven’t spoken to her in years. I doubt she knows I’m alive.”Jacob was her favourite son. You could tell by the way she babied him.“You killed my br

Summer POV I arrived in Whispering Hollow a day early. I was back. Permanently this time. I hadn’t prepared for my Dad’s wife’s reaction and her daughters. Dad claimed they were nice, but I didn’t know what to make of them. Dad remarried a few months ago and I hadn’t met his new family. Dad said it wouldn’t be a problem but I doubted that. I was a dent in their perfect lives. Dad was a general in the Alpha’s army. His personality was large and he drilled his soldier’s like a machine. Or so I heard. His black truck stopped at the bus stage. “Hey, sweetie!” He boomed. “Dad…” I blinked a few times. “Get in here. The family can’t wait to have you home.” “Terrific.” I expected silence to fall over the cab but Dad insisted on addressing the elephant in the room. Me. “It’s going to be hard here,” he started. “I figured,” I said digging my nails into the car seat. “For one no one can know what happened.” “Won’t lying make things worse?” “Trust me Summer. I might have to limit your

Summer POVMy chest heaved my body ached as if I’d been beaten with rocks. Something wasn’t right. I shot up from the soft bed and adjusted to the dark room. It was too dark to be my basement room. The upper window on the right that let the moonlight in was missing. I swung my legs off the bed and stood. I willed myself to scan my surroundings but… it didn’t work.Sometimes I forgot what I was now.Barefoot I slowly found my way to the wall. I patted the space looking for a switch but instead, I found a door. I rattled the handle but it wouldn’t open.“Dad’s going to kill me.”Why was the room so dark? I walked cautiously back to the bed. I patted my jeans and my phone wasn’t there. I grabbed my sticky shirt. I froze. Half of my shirt was gone.“Crap.”I gasped when the door jiggled. I crawled backwards and hit the bed. Light burst into the dark room. I hugged myself to cover my naked belly. The man in the centre of the doorframe took a step forward. I swallowed the lump in my throat.

Summer POVA knock came at the door. I barely left my room since Dad grounded me. I’d only seen him a handful of times since then. From what I overheard the borders weren’t stable and they were expecting an attack. I used to love stakeouts and a good ambush. I wouldn’t be doing any of that anymore.“Come in,” I said.Marcella strolled into my room. She grimaced for a second before turning her smile back on.“Darling Summer, I have good news.”“You do?”“Yes,” she grimaced again.I battled my giggle. The stench of damp wood was getting to her. I got used to it and the occasional rat visitors.“You don’t have to make dinner tonight!” She clapped her hands.“Are you going out?” I asked.“Yes… we are.”We? Marcella barely included me in family issues. I was her husband’s daughter but I was as good as the maid around here.“Where are we going?” I asked, slipping my legs off the queen-sized bed.Marcella walked around and stood under the window. “To the winter lodge twenty minutes out of to

Summer POVDad was gone early the next day and the ladies weren’t back from their shift vacation. What did I wear to swear my loyalty to my new demi-god Alpha? Something that covered every inch of my skin so when that dumb mark appeared he wouldn’t see it. Unless it showed up on my forehead. I wouldn’t put it passed the Moon goddess she had a wicked sense of humour.Since I lost my phone I would have to find a job to replace it. Now that Ezra knew I was here I wouldn’t have to hide. I grabbed a few help-wanted flyers and stuffed them in my bag. The Alpha’s house was a ten-minute walk from home. When I arrived beta wolves marched in and out of the property as young ladies giggled with trays of food mostly meat and fruit walked into the house.Dad’s truck was parked in the driveway. Of course, he had to be here. I took a deep breath and proceeded.“Can I help you?” A man stopped me at the door.I took a step back. My breath caught in my throat and memories spiked my brain.“I…uh…”I wil

Summer POVI contemplated telling Dad I got a job as a waitress. If things hadn’t gone South, I would have been under him as a subordinate. It was a dream one that almost came true. Like I said the Moon goddess has a wicked sense of humour.“Where are you going?” Dad raised his brow from his coffee mug.“Uh… to work.”“Summer…”“Dad, we spoke about this. I’m not a kid. I need to make my own money.”“Under my roof little girl, you’ll go by my rules.”When would he stop treating me like a child? I placed my hand on my hip and stared him down.“It’s a bar. Nothing’s going to happen to me.”Dad set his mug down and scratched his four o’clock shadow. “A bar, Summer?”I nodded. “I’ve worked the job before. Please, let me try to live a normal life.”“I guess that’s okay, I’ll always keep an eye on you. Did anything show up when you swore your loyalty?”“No, I guess not yet.”He dumped his cup in the kitchen sink. “Keep your eyes open. I can’t keep you here forever and we damn well can’t keep

Summer POVIf I fall out of the window and break my leg it will heal after some time. Of course, then I wouldn’t be able to run away. Derek would just catch me again. The bathroom door was locked but that won’t stop werewolves.I stuck my top half out of the window but the fall was two stories.A boot slammed into the door. It jerked forward and broke off its hinges.The window was my only option. I climbed out of the window just as the door flew open.“Nice try Summer,” Derek laughed. “Get her.”Rough hands grabbed me and dragged me back into the bathroom.“No!”“Wouldn’t expect anything less from a she-wolf like you.”Derek dragged me back to the bedroom. I wasn’t close to escaping at all but I could do it again. The house was packed this was a dumb idea. The security would be tighter now.I snatched my arm from his grip. He raised his hand but I ducked out of the way and landed on the bed before his hand could connect with my face.“Can you chain her up and get on to other things?

Ezra POVMy fist connected with his jaw again. This would go a lot better if he just confessed to cursing my brother and what the fuck he wanted from me.“Fuck you!” Bowen spat.“This could be over quickly if you tell me what I want.”He spat blood on the dungeon floor. His henchmen were in the other cells. They were either oblivious or really good at hiding the truth. Either way, they were getting beaten up.“You’re barking at the wrong tree, mutt.”“Ohh, that’s not a nice word.” I rammed my fist into his jaw again.Roman stood in the corner of the room and groaned.“Talk Bowen. It’s late and we’re tired,” Roman said.“Yeah, I have a mate I need to get to.”“That stupid bitch,” Bowen barked.My wolf jumped to the edge of my skin and flashed in my eyes.He was chained to the chair. I dug my claws into his flesh, sinking my venom into his body. He cried out and cursed.“What did you say about my mate?”He panted heavily. “Enough.”“Fine. We’re all tired. Why Hunter?”“Why not?” Bowen l

Summer POV“What did Marley do to you?” I blasted.“She shouldn’t have touched what didn’t belong to her,” Sophia pouted.“You’re insane.”The scar on her face had completely healed. I wondered if hurting herself was worth it.“I just protect what’s mine.”I tried to march past her but she shoved me backwards.“Stand aside!”She stalked forward, smirking. Her wolf flashed in her eyes.I backed up and summoned my wolf. Ezra wasn’t here to stop me I would rip this bitch to shreds. My wolf flashed in my eyes with a force so strong she nearly knocked me out.“Let’s make this quick.”Sophia tilted her head gladly.“What have you done this time Sophia? What is it now?” Derek’s disgruntled voice stopped me.I stepped back.Derek marched upstairs and stood beside Sophia but he caught me standing in front of them before he said anything else.“Well, fuck,” Derek said.“You know her?” I gasped.“Very well actually,” Sophia smirked.“Enough,” Derek spat.My heart hammered against my ribcage. I n

Summer POV“I’m out with the girls,” I told Ezra through our link.The ringing sound was faint and it didn’t hurt. My wolf felt strong but there was still a disconnect between us like she separated from me sometimes and came back.“What happened to turning in early?” he responded.“After I learned your Aunt didn’t want us together.”Silence on the other end.“I’m the Alpha. I decide who I mate with not her.”“Still would have been nice to know you have an Aunt who hates me.”“Summer! Take a shot. To girls’ night!” Wren cheered holding up a shot glass.“We’ll talk later,” I told Ezra through our link and focused on my friends.The cool place Lettie spoke near Lake Everrest was a mansion out of town. It was a gothic mansion on the outside but a high-tech modern mansion on the inside. I didn’t know whose party this was but they were crazy rich. They had two bars here and all the alcohol was free. We’d been here for ten minutes and Lettie already stuffed a brand-new bottle of vodka in her

Summer POV“You’ve been a busy girl, Summer,” Ezra said, planting his hands on his waist.Dad and Ezra stared at me after they told me they captured Bowen, which means Derek’s clean!“I know I shouldn’t have done it but I wanted to make sure Derek was clean and he gave us good information! You caught Bowen. That’s great!” I hurried to the fridge and pulled out some juice.My mate was right behind me.“That’s not all you did Summer.”He meant my little stunt while he was in a meeting. The fantasy had been nagging at me for so long that it needed to be fulfilled.“What else did she do?” Dad asked.Ugh, the moment was broken.Ezra cleared his throat. “Nothing. Start the interrogation I’ll meet you there.”Dad stared at Ezra and then at me. Before he spoke he broke out in a fit of coughs.“That cough hasn’t gone away yet? You should see a doctor, Dad.”He waved me away. “I’m fine. It’s just a tickle.”“That or you’re an old man and you should be thinking about retirement.”Dad glared at E

Ezra POVThe meetings were the worst part of being Alpha. They were long and unproductive. I’ve been sitting here for an hour waiting for one member of the council to arrive. My Alpha’s court which was a group of my trusted wolves who were young, unlike the wise old council who governed over much more serious stuff like when I wanted to invade another Pack. The Alpha’s court was made up of Hunter, Oliver, Noah and Rachel though Rachel and I weren’t on the best terms right now she still showed up to do her job.Summer should be here, I thought. I trusted her with my life and my secrets. She deserved a seat at the table. However, I knew how the old bats felt about her because of her past but that didn’t matter.Rachel settled next to me but didn’t bother to say hello.Mr Barns and Mrs Ellen Turner arrived as well and the meeting could finally begin.“Here we go,” I murmured.The six council members sat across from the members that made the Alpha’s court. Roman looked just as bored as I
