All Chapters of Tasting Summer: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

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 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’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 POV“Kate, how could you?”“I’m sorry Summer, I really am but I have an obligation to Ellen to tell her about the Alpha.”“What? But Ezra asked you not to tell anyone now the whole Pack’s in a frenzy.”“They’re just happy.”“You violated our privacy and destroyed my trust in you.”“Summer, you can hardly keep a baby a secret for long.”“That doesn’t mean you had a right to tell Ellen.” This was pointless I wasn’t getting through to her.“I’m not going to have my doctor report back to Ellen every time I go on.”“What do you mean?”“We’re looking for another doctor.”“I’m the Pack doctor and the most qualified doctor in werewolf anatomy!”“I’ll find someone else, goodbye Kate.” I hung up.We’ve received all sorts of packages and so many people showed up to give their congratulations. There were so many the guards had to send them away. It was like a mad house here. I wasn’t prepared for this type of reception. I felt safer in my room. The council was supposed to make a formal vis

Summer POV“Are you okay?” Estelle asked.“No, I’m not.”“Where’s the car?” Vik barked.“Gone,” Brook groaned, clutching her head.We got our asses kicked by an older woman. I shifted and noticed my pants were damp. Don’t tell me I peed myself. Gardenia wasn’t that scary!I looked down and saw the stain on my dark blue jeans.“Oh-oh no,” I gasped.“What’s wrong Summer?” Estelle asked.She followed my gaze. Everything happened so fast. Voices overlapped and my vision blurred. I couldn’t make sense of what they said but I knew what my body said. It was time to shut down.***“You can go now,” a masculine voice said.“Yes, Alpha,” a woman responded.I felt a presence to my right. My body was stiff and my mouth was dry. How did I get home? I opened my eyes but they stung with the dim lamp lights.“Hey, you’re awake.” As the noise in my head died down I recognised my mate’s voice.“Don’t sit up, Summer,” he said, gently, pushing me down.“Why not?” my attempts to sit up only got me a cry f
