Tasting Summer
“You.” I snapped my head up. A naked man marched into the kitchen. Heat rushed to my face. The man draped in tattoos and bronze skin glared at me. “What are you doing here?” I squeaked. “I should be the one asking you that.” He closed the gap between us, and his body slammed against mine, pinning me against the door. His hand wrapped around my neck. I dug my nails into his flesh but he didn’t flinch. “You’re with the Red Claw pack aren’t you?” He sneered and tightened his hold. “Screw…you,” I rasped. “Ezra,” Dad barked. “What?” “Put her down. She’s my daughter.” His hold loosened and I dropped to the floor. I held my neck and glared at him. “You have an eighteen-year-old daughter?” Alpha Ezra asked. Dad shrugged, “Twenty, but yes.” Summer is on the run from her former Alpha, and seeks refuge with her estranged Father. She hides a secret that could get her killed so the one person she must stay away from is the one she's drawn to the most. Alpha Ezra is sort of her Dad's best friend and logically off-limits but soon the lines between them blur and before they know it the desire is too hot to put out. Summer's past catches up with her and the only option is to cheat fate or repeat history. Ezra and Summer must work together or risk being ripped apart.

Chapter: Chapter 105EpilogueEzra 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

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

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

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

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 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.

He shouldn’t want her.

What was I thinking, letting her battle Faye on her own?Xavier could have easily gone back and slaughtered my mate.I ran into Azeal, brushing dirt off his shoulders.“Dude!”He paused and glared at me. “You!

She had my daughter in her clutches.“He sounds pretty good to me.” My eyes darted to the crying baby in her arms and then to the petrified omega sitting, gripping the wooden chair for dear life. It was hard to keep myself at bay when my daughter was crying.The crying had to be getting to Faye too, but her breathing was even, and her eyes were alert. It couldn’t last forever.Neither could I stand here and toy with her forever.“This is between you and me.

We didn’t need another altercation with humans after what happened the last time. In order to remain on the low, we had to hold over eighty per cent of the wolves we had behind.Azeal was with us like he’d always been. Nash came to back up his Alpha.
