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

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

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

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

Summer POV“How’s my Dad sure it’s them?” I asked.Ezra gripped the stirring wheel and drove passed the turn to the mansion.“Ezra, where are we going?”“We’re not going home, are you crazy?”“Why did we leave your Aunt’s house then?”He pushed the car close to its limits. If I wasn’t strapped to a seatbelt I might have flown into the dashboard. I gripped Ezra’s thigh. I felt his fear, need to protect and his anxiety all at once. His emotions were intense and I felt them strongly. The emotions went to my head. I gripped my forehead.“Hmm, slow down, Ezra, please.”He eased on the accelerator. He drove off the road and parked on the dirt.I leaned my head on the cold window.“Summer.”“Just give me a moment.” I’ve wanted to throw up all evening but I’d barely eaten. I struggled to control my breathing because I feared I would throw up and pass out.Ezra rubbed my thigh as I controlled my breathing.“I’m sorry. I know you felt that. I don’t want any harm to come to you and our baby.”“M

Summer POVI shrugged my Dad off and snatched Ezra’s arm before things turned to blows.“Stop, stop. I want to talk to him. We’re just going to talk, right?” I turned to my grandfather.He nodded. “Of course. We come in peace, but we’re not fools, and we don’t do well with intimidation.”“You shouldn’t have set foot on my land then,” Ezra barked.“Stop it! Why don’t you get some air? This shouldn’t take long.”“But Summer—”“Go, Ezra!”“Ugh, fine.” He nodded at Dad to follow him. No doubt my Dad would get an ear full about letting this happen.“You can all leave too,” Augustus ordered his men.“Granddad I don’t think this is wise,” my cousin said.I believed he was at least two years older than me.“You should leave too, Preston.”Preston adjusted his shoulders. “Why?” he demanded.“Because this is between your cousin and me.”He rolled his eyes. “Cousin,” he puffed.Augustus didn’t react, but he didn’t repeat himself. Augustus seemed like a man who didn’t like repeating himself. Pres

Summer POVI’d thrown up twice since seeing the tail in the soggy cardboard box. Ezra rushed me into the house and forced me to drink a cup of water. The team gathered in the kitchen, minus Estelle because Hunter took her away when my Grandfather showed up out of the blue.“Who sent it?” Ezra demanded.“The funny thing is it has the scent of wolves from this Pack,” Walker said. He was a blond-haired man about two years older than me but he was a hard worker. I heard he didn’t care whose toes he stepped on as long as it got him to where he wanted to be.“There’s nothing funny about this. It’s messed up! Who cuts off someone’s tail and sends it?” Brook was visibly shaken.There were plenty of things that were unheard of and simply wicked in the werewolf world and chopping off someone’s tail was one of them. That wolf would never be the same again. Was he alive? Would he want to live after something like that happened to him?“I know one person. My sister. This is sort of twisted thing s

Summer POVI cupped my hand and bile rose in my throat. Brook placed her hand on my shoulder.“I told you not to come in here,” she scolded.“What is all this?” I asked after I swallowed.I shiver ran through me but I inched closer to the counter where black feathers and blood spread across the dark marble and the sink.“I don’t see an animal,” Brook commented.“Neither do I.”We stepped around the kitchen but all we saw were feathers and blood. Brook pulled out my phone. This was just like my wedding dress.“I’m calling the Alpha,” she said.“No, wait. Let’s look outside.” Before we jump to conclusions I want to make sure the animal isn’t outside the kitchen window.“But Summer!”I rushed out of the kitchen door before Brook could protest. I carefully scanned the area.There wasn’t even a hint of an animal out here.“Magic,” my wolf said.“This has to be some strong black magic. What is this?”“A sign of trouble and I don’t need to tell you who it is.”I caught a foreign scent in the

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
Tasting Summer Chapter 101
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
Tasting Summer Chapter 98
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
