There were so many people, and werewolves.

Emma stared across the crowded floor of the diner.

Emma sighed. She wiped her brow with the back of her hand. The kitchen's main freezer was out of almost everything. So up she went and down she went. Up and down. Up and down. For every single ingredient.

This was not what she'd anticipated when she agreed to help her mom. Honestly she thought she would spend most of the time eating.

She had not even had time to eat.

Thankfully, Tammy and Rakesh were helping. That made things bearable. It also made it painfully obvious that her mother badly needed to hire a permanent staff member.

“I think this place needs some music,” Tammy offered cheerfully, leaning on the counter.

Emma nodded. “Yeah, I’ve been thinking the same. But we don’t have a speaker.”

“I have one at home! It’s this janky old Bluetooth thing, but it still works. I can bring it tomorrow.

Emma laughed. “Tammy, you’re an angel.”

Tammy curtsied theatrically. “I know. I know.”

“EMMA!” he

    Emma wiped her forehead with the back of her hand across her temple.Setting up a restaurant, she had learned, was not just hard work. It was bloody hard, messy, draining, backbreaking, and did she mention messy?This was the sixteenth time she’d walked from the food truck to the restaurant, each trip a mini marathon with trays, boxes, or kitchen utensils poking out of her arms. At least the restaurant was conveniently located five houses down from theirs.Emma paused at the entrance of the newly leased restaurant. She squinted at the place. Her mom’s dream had finally taken a physical form. She wondered when exactly her mother had started entertaining the wild notion of diving into entrepreneurship.Maybe she had looked at Daniel and Emma eating and thought: Hell yeah, I could get paid for this.Inside, Daniel was grumbling. He'd been in a mood for twenty straight minutes, complaining about everything from the smell of the cleaning supplies to the music playing faintly from Emma’s ph

    Emma made a new friend at school the next day.His name was Charles, just Charles. No surname or middle name.He was cute. Like, annoyingly cute with platinum blonde hair and the softest, most disarming blue eyes she’d ever seen on a person. Eyes that made you want to spill your deepest secrets and then bake cookies with him.They had French class together, which was ironic because Charles’ French was well….absolute rubbish.“Je suis une pomme de terre,” he had said confidently in class, and Emma had nearly dislocated her ribs trying to hold in laughter.“I am a potato,” she had whispered to him after class, her smirk barely restrained.He grinned. “Ah, but I am a very charming potato.”They clicked. Instantly. Like magnets. Or like bread and butter. Or like trouble and Emma.Oh, and he was a werewolf too. Of course he was.Funny how she hadn’t made a single human friend since moving here. Not one. Which reminded her,Vanessa.Her phone buzzed in her pocket.Vanessa was her closest fr

    Sarah had a way of appearing like an unexpected guest. She practically launched herself at Noah after class, her entire body pressing into his. Her chest was the first thing that made contact, intentionally. She leaned in, her lips already parted in a suggestive smile.“What’s up, babe?” she purred.Before Noah could so much as blink, her tongue was in his mouth.For a second, he froze, trying to determine what was happening. Was this not assault? Could someone be arrested for shoving a tongue down his throat?He jerked back, his head bumping into his locker. "What the hell?" he muttered under his breath.Sarah clung to him, her grip tight. He tried to peel her off without making a scene. Unfortunately, subtlety didn’t work with Sarah. The more he tried to shake her off, the more she clung to him.He shoved her away gently but firmly.Her mouth parted again, about to unleash what he suspected would be a speech dripping in drama and delusion, but he cut her off.“Don’t do that again, S

    The scent of whiskey hit Noah's nose before he even saw his father. He stood in the kitchen, his broad shoulders silhouetted against the morning light spilling through the windows. A week's worth of gray-streaked stubble covered his jaw, and the dark circles under his eyes spoke of sleepless nights spent patrolling the northern borders. The kitchen itself smelled of coffee and the faint metallic tang of blood, probably from the raw steak his father had eaten for breakfast, the plate still sitting in the sink with pink juices pooling at the bottom."Noah." His father's voice was as tough as a whiskey glass. "You could have invited her to have some tea."Noah's bare feet stuck to the honey-colored hardwood as he shifted uncomfortably. Of course his father knew. The man could smell a lie before it left your lips. Besides, the entire pack house reeked of Sarah's cheap vanilla perfume. The grandfather clock in the hallway ticked loudly, each second dotting his embarrassment."She's not lik

    Daniel, her brother and her mum were at the kitchen table when she arrived back. The oak surface was cluttered with steaming dishes, brown chicken wings that glistened under the light, piled high next to a mountain of spaghetti with rich spices. The peppered steak, still sizzling faintly, sat beside a bowl of roasted vegetables that nobody except her mom would touch. Daniel, her little brother, as usual was shoving handfuls of chicken wings into his mouth like a starved beast. Her mom had this tradition every time they moved. Emma and her brother had nicknamed it the ‘apology feasts’. It was a buffet of guilt. One Emma always enjoyed. The scent of garlic and curry clung to the air, thick enough to taste. It didn’t erase the sting of uprooting their lives again but Emma wasn’t about to turn down her mother’s signature crispy chicken wings or peppered steak. She slid into her chair, the legs scraping against the well-worn tiles. "So how was school?" Her mom’s voice was light, but ba
