Tasting Summer Chapter 59
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 POVEzra brushed his lips over mine. The tender kiss turned passionate and hungry fast. He parted my lips and sought out my tongue. He kept me at his house for a few days so I could recover my strength. I told him I felt better and he took it as his opportunity to pounce on me.“Ezra,” I said between kisses.He climbed on top of me and kept me down with the weight of his body. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him back. It would be so easy to stay in the safety of his arms but I had been in this house for too long. I needed to check on Estelle and Dad.I needed to check on my friends as well. After losing Marley they must have been worried sick.“I have to go…” I moaned.He stopped kissing me and raised a brow. “Go where.”“I’m better now, babe.”“I don’t care. I’m never leaving your side again.”“Wh

Summer POV“On the bright side, you and Estelle are full-blood sisters,” Ezra said, stroking my hair.After Mom left Marcella still didn’t let me in the house. She insisted Dad needed to rest and he wasn’t feeling well enough to argue with her. That battle wasn’t over.I leaned on Ezra’s shoulder. “She always wanted to know who her Dad was, Ezra. He was right there the entire time. Mom saw how it affected her but she kept her mouth shut. Isn’t she evil? If that isn’t evil, then I don’t know what is.”Ezra stroked my hair.“I’m sorry Vixen,” he exhaled.“Not as sorry as me. Marcella won’t let me see Dad. Can you believe that?”“Hey, why don’t you relax? You’re still recovering from your attacks.”“Ezra, I’m fine.”The poisonous liquid Dimitri gave me did leave my thr

Summer POVEzra’s wolf prowled around, sniffing bushes and staring at trees. I sat with my legs folded in front of me while he eased his rage doing whatever it was he was doing. I think we ran out of Whispering Hollow grounds and ventured into one of Ezra’s tribe Packs.When Ezra conquered other Packs he liked to take the Packs closest to Whispering Hollow. The Broken Creek Pack had to be one of the furthest Packs. It smelled like a bunch of foreign wolves all over. They were wild tonight, but Ezra wasn’t worried.He stopped sniffing the bushes and came to butt his head against mine.We shifted back to human form at the same time. We rested under the stars nestled in each other’s arms.I sighed. “This was great.”He rubbed my shoulder. “Yeah, even though you cheated on the run here.”“What? No, I’m just faster than you!”He chuckled. “We need

Summer POV“Vampire wings would be amazing right now,” Estelle said, struggling to get to the upper-level window.“Why can’t I stand on your shoulders?” I grunted.“I’m lighter.”“Ugh, says who?”Ezra was in the car. He was the getaway driver. After I was kidnapped he wouldn’t let me travel at night even when I told him I would be with Estelle tonight. He thought I was a defenceless puppy out in the rain. He wouldn't take me seriously if he saw me now behind the house with my sister on my shoulders.He gave us thirty minutes to check on my Dad before he stepped in and ordered Marcella to let us. Frankly, that would be easier than this. He abandoned his meeting to be with me. He didn’t tell them what we were up to because Rachel would have alerted her Mother.I don’t want to overthink this but Marcella gave me no choice. Maybe she just wanted me out of the picture entirely. She made it clear she didn’t like me when I showed up here several months ago.I dropped Estelle and she landed w

Summer POV“As long as your Dad agrees with Marcella there’s nothing I can do,” Ezra said.“But you’re the Alpha!” Estelle cried.“And he’s a grown-ass man.” Ezra was right.Dad didn’t look sick anymore. He looked as commanding and present as ever but I knew deep down that it wasn’t my Dad who kicked me out of his house.“Forget it, Estelle, we’ll discuss this in the morning,” I said.She folded her arms and glanced at the house. “Sounds like you’re giving up.”I knew she wanted a Father, he was so close but yet so far.“I’m not, I promise but there’s nothing we can do now. He kicked us out.”She sighed. “Alright.”We drove Estelle to her motel Ezra and I drove in silence back to his mansion. I couldn’t wrap my head around what happened tonight. I thought my

Summer POV“Alpha!” Oliver called as he and Noah marched out of the house.“Where’s Sophia?” Ezra asked.“We dragged her down to the basement,” Noah replied.I grabbed Ezra’s arm. “I’m coming with you.”“Of course you are,” he grumbled.I had to make it clear because he always pushed me away when it came to these things!He gripped my hand as he barked orders. The beta army was on their way since the distress call was sounded. It came from the front gate, while Oliver and Noah fanned out to protect the weak spots on the property Ezra and I went to the gate.A limp wolf lay a few meters outside the property just beyond it stood a small with broad shoulders, stringy wet black hair, pants hanging loosely around his waist, no shirt and red glowing eyes.Ezra stopped and stared at his younger brother.“Brother,” Dimitri said.“Anything I can do for you?” Ezra asked.Dimitri growled, grinding his teeth. “Something small not a big deal at all.”“If it’s not a big deal then you won’t mind if

Summer POV The Alpha General arrived to inspect the damage done to the property. He brought Henrietta too. She just came up from the dungeon where she collected samples from Sophia’s cursed wolf. A group of betas was sent out to make sure Dimitri and his goons hadn’t attacked the locals.“How many casualties on our side?” Dad asked.“Three,” Ezra replied. “Dozens injured.”Since Noah was a High Beta he was entitled to a dignified farewell with the entire Pack present. That’s what most Packs did I didn’t think Ezra’s would be any different. I still couldn’t believe he was gone. He was the quieter one of Ezra’s betas but he was loyal, trustworthy and dedicated. Oliver wasn’t taking this well. He was out for blood. Wherever Hunter was I knew he was hurting too for more than just the pain I put him through tonight.It was finally daybreak but I couldn’t wait to fall asleep.“Rachel, you should go home. Your Mom must be worried sick.”Rachel tightened the fleece around herself and nodded.

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
