Ember I'm feeling pretty great and nervous. It was my first day of work in the kitchens of Moonlight, and I am determined to learn as much as I can. I went from being a leader, to having to learn again, but I am determined to rise up in the ranks to become top chef. I do plan on looking into a school here in Miami so that I can finish my degree. Leaving the culinary school in Tallahassee was hard, but it was to keep myself safe here. I put on my outfit that I received from Jax. We were going to be riding together to go to work today. He said it was so we wouldn't have to burn the same gas to go the same distance. I was pretty happy with this arrangement. My outfit was all white short sleeve chef coat and white pants to match. Red buttons ran down the chef's coat. I had my hair in a back ponytail with a hair net over it. It was a requirement for those with long hair to keep it pulled back with a hair net to keep it in place. I looked perfect. Jax's outfit was a black button-down coll
EmberI stood silent. I wasn't even sure where to begin. I had no idea how they had even found out. I told no one my true identity and I was sure that no one had any documents on me here, other than what I gave." Well", Seth said to me, annoyance on his face was evident. I walked past him and sat down. I was already thinking in my head what to say. I couldn't tell them the truth. There was no way I wanted them involved in my issues. I would rather be fired on the spot." What do you want me to say? I lied on my resume? Yes. I did. I have a complicated history that is no one's business but my own, but apparently , it seems to be out in the open now", I told Seth before looking at Carter. He didn't look upset. More concern. He wanted to know me, but I couldn't allow it." So your real name is indeed Ember Maze?" Seth asked , leaning against the wall with his arms crossed. I shouldn't be surprised they would dig me up after finding out I lied, but just how much did they know?" Yes. It
Ember Carson told Jax he would take me home and we sped off on his Lambo. " Where are we going?", I asked him. "My home.", he said. I raised an eyebrow. "Why are we going there?", I asked him. "Ryder is dangerous, and in order for you to understand just how dangerous, you need to understand just how dangerous he is.", he said before staying silent. I looked out the window, running over things in my head within the last few months. Was there more to the monster that is Ryder? My mind was putting together the most ridiculous theory, but I chose to ignore it. It was not possible. We arrived at his home, and I was freaking stunned. It was a huge mansion surrounded by a beautiful forest that seemed thick, or at least that was the impression I had as we drove on the path through the forest. There were houses along the path. It seemed to stretch very far. Carter was looking at my reaction and was smiling. " Do you like our home?' he asked, still driving. The people walking the path nodd
Ember There it was. The question I had been asking myself ever since I saw them shift. I had to ask them though. I needed to make sure I was sane or just losing my fucking mind. " Werewolves. Alpha's to be exact, " he said. I read about werewolves and shit in fantasy novels, but seeing some shit like this in real life. There was not even a word for it. I looked out the window next to me. " This is your packhouse?", I asked him. He nodded. " Originally, this packhouse belonged to Seth's family. The lightwood. Seth and my pack family line merged after our most recent war with our rival pack. Both Seth and I come from powerful alpha lines. Pure blood alpha lines, but we are different than other wolves. "How so?", I asked. " We were born on the blue moon. The supermoon eclipse," he said. I nodded. I knew what the blue moon was. " Wolves born on the blue moon are born with abilities, such as immunity to silver, extra strength, and extra speed, extra stamina. We even have an immunit
Ember " Mates or not, I have already made a vow to keep you safe. Nothing or no one will harm you", he promised. His promise made me feel a lot better. I had more questions, but I covered my mouth as a yawn came from me. I looked at the time. It was approaching midnight. " I have more questions", I told him. "I know, but you need sleep first. I will answer your questions tomorrow. Come", he said, holding out his hand. I took it and followed him out of the mansion, back into his lambo. We drove off and I laid back, watching the streets fly past in a blur. I hadn't even realized I had fallen asleep, but when I woke up, I was in bed, with the cover being pulled over me. " Don't go", I said, sleepily. Carter looked at me, wondering if he should stay or not. "Please", I begged. Tonight was a lot to process, and I'm sure I would in my own time, but right now, all I wanted was to fall asleep with Carter next to me. My mate, as he called it. He took off his jacket and climbed into bed wi
Ember I went to work and looked around. It looked the same as it did yesterday. Everyone was getting ready for the day to start. All these people were werewolves. It amazed me just how.... normal, it still all felt. I went into the kitchen and saw Ivy. I watched as her eyes fell behind me and turned to see Jax talking with one of the waitresses. I came to the conclusion before that they were mates, but now I'm certain. It's funny, because neither of them seems to acknowledge it. I suppose that is my job. I still was not sure of all this Luna business. Mother of the pack, and such. A pack of over five hundred wolves. I am still just a human. How the hell am I supposed to handle a pack of over five hundred wolves? Actually, it wasn't handling the wolves that I was most afraid of. It was protecting them. How could I protect them? I had no powers, though Jax hinted I could. I really was just a human. No wonder Seth hated me already. A human Luna. Should be blasphemous. I blocked Jax from
Ember Seth just stood there and pulled the knife out as if I didn't just freaking stab him. My gun was still pointed at him. This was creepy as fuck. " What the fuck, Seth?" I said, keeping my gun up. Was he going to kill me?"Nice throw", he said. Before I could blink, he had already snatched the gun out of my hand and tossed it on the bed before picking me up and holding me against the wall. It was an intimate position, and I was breathless as I stared into his eyes. He took a sniff in the air before growling lowly, putting his head against my neck. I knew I would be freaking out, but the sparks from his nose to my neck threatened a moan to come out. I was still. Unmoving. I wanted this moment to last forever. Reality set in and I pushed him away from me. "Why are you here Seth?", I asked him. I looked at the door, which was opened a little. How the hell did he even get in?"Carter has a key to your apartment. I came to talk", he replied. Laying on the bed. I grabbed a med kit fr
Ember I woke up with Seth gone. I figured he wouldn't have stayed. I had hoped I had gotten through to him though. I realized through my speech last night, I wanted him. I wanted them both, wolves and all. I knew they would keep me protected. With time, I could get Seth to open up to me. I could see the breakthrough in his eyes yesterday. I had finally pierced his thick wall just by being honest. I looked at my phone and saw a text from Carter. Be dressed by 12pm. Seth and I are taking you out. Bring your bathing suit.. A date with them both? Well, this was bound to be interesting. I didn't have a bathing suit and planned to go to Walmart to pick one up. I washed up and got dressed. It was ten am. I drove to Walmart, using GPS. I still was not as familiar with the area since I stayed inside most of the time. While shopping, I felt like there were eyes on me. I looked around, but didn't see anyone. Feeling nervous, I picked the swimwear I was looking at and started driving. A black
