Four – Rough Time
Ember
The three hour drive in the car, she spent reading through the package that had been on the back seat of the car with her name on. It had the school rules, expectations and her classes all included. She was expected to wear a uniform and she would also get extra credits for handing work in early.
When the car finally came to a stop in front of what appeared to be a large apartment building on campus, she glanced at the name of the apartment building and realized this would be her home while she was here.
Taking out the key from the welcoming package, the driver quietly assisted her with carrying all her belongings up to the third floor. And once she unlocked the door, he abandoned his load just inside the door and disappeared without a word.
Ember stared at the place around her. It was set up almost like a small studio apartment. She had a small kitchenette with a fridge and a small countertop stove and oven and a

Alpha AnsonHe had spent the better part of his three week trip following up on leads for the murder of Ember’s father. That was not to say that he did not do business for the pack as well. But the case had gone cold and dead in the eyes of the authorities and he was not about to let Tyler’s death go unpunished.Whoever had killed him had stolen childhood memories from Ember and a lifetime of happiness and experiences. Tyler deserved justice and Ember deserved answers. He was exhausted, but he had found a few more leads to work with.From what he could find, it seemed that his death was either a struggle for power within the Hunters, or it was because Tyler had protected his baby girl. From the pictures of the crime scene, he was leaning towards a combination of them both. There would be no point in killing Tyler for the title if his heiress was alive and could easily take over leading the hunters.But what
Claims to Ember Six – Out of the Frying Pan
EmberAfter a week with everyone giving her a wide berth since she sprayed Paisley with the silver solution, she was all but ignored. No one wanted to anger her enough to get sprayed as well. In fact, nothing came of the matter, since Paisley had no foot to stand on.She could walk through the corridors and hear the gossip from the other wolves. Something about the Bane Pack members coming back from their latest suspension. From what she understood, they would regularly be suspended for one thing or the other. She hoped she wouldn’t draw their attention as well; the last thing she wanted was to get into another altercation.She had started bringing her laptop to school now that it would be safe, so she could type notes in class and even used it during her lunch period. She had had some of the wolves hesitantly approaching her for the typed notes from a class they missed or didn’t do well in and she made a tiny inco
Claims to Ember Seven - Care
BernadetteShe was angry…no, she wasn’t angry, she was enraged.That bastard had actually taken her Luna title, exiled her from the pack and divorced her in one go. Then he had the audacity to tell her that he had promised her father that he would care for her and he would keep his word.She was sitting in his supposed care, after tiring herself out from screaming her anger to the world. His care was a sensible car, a stupidly small and sensibly furnished two bedroom apartment filled with groceries in a secure building and one suitcase with her clothes and shoes.What was she supposed to do with that?She didn’t even know how to cook! He had told her that her salary as a Luna had been untouched because she had been spending the pack’s money, so he would not give her a monthly allowance as well. He said something about smart investments would give her a tidy sum to live off. Yes, the apartment a

Ashton BaneHe was annoyed with how things had worked out. He had been sure that they had had enough evidence to get that teacher blacklisted with the information they had gleaned from the she-wolves male gym teacher the previous semester. They wanted him out of the school, but his father insisted that they needed as much as they could if they wanted to completely blacklist and prosecute him. If they did it right, he could be put to death for his crimes.Their pack had a bad reputation, but no one knew that they had been contracted by the werewolf king to work as an undercover agency to protect the werewolf realm as a whole. They were widely known as a dangerous and delinquent pack for the simple reason that the king hid their true purpose for a reason.The king had created their connection after his little sister had disappeared from the kingdom without a trace. She was still missing and no one could find any information on what ha
Claims to Ember Nine - Disturbing
EmberShe felt nervous and unsettled working on this with them hanging around her place like they were. She was not used to anyone being in her personal space while she was working; she’d always sort of been left to her own devices, until Alpha Anson had finished his work and could spend time with her and Calum.She felt crowded with them there. It also felt like someone was playing high tension music in the background while the third guy was scratching around in her kitchen. She had a particular order her things had to be in before she could focus on what she was doing and he was just scratching around like he was the lord of chaos!She now knew the guy that had threatened her was Ash, but she still didn’t know the other two. She made a point of leaving her camera and sound recording while they were there, but she’d help them find out if the teacher was involved in a kidnapping ring. She was just going to cover he
Claims to Ember Ten – A Mess
Alpha AnsonThe more he went through the Luna’s files the angrier he got. Bernadette had tried to bleed the pack dry, no wonder she had never used her Luna salary. She’d cut the budget for household, kitchen and the gardens. Then he found out that she had used thirty percent of that money to pay the salary of the omega she had doing her work for her. The rest, it seemed, was spent on spa days, shopping, day trips and generally living the high life.He was livid, realizing what he had put his pack through by keeping her there for the sake of some stability. He had corrected the budget cuts, so the broken items could be replaced. It was then that he realized that Ember’s tinkering had kept things running smoothly.If he hadn’t stripped her title the moment he realized what Bernadette had done, her underhanded dealings would have come out eventually, but probably much later and with so much more damage to
Claims to Ember Eleven - Burrito
EmberShe woke on her bed with her alarm, but she didn’t remember going to bed. In fact she remembered leaning her forehead on her folded arms while she waited for the last of the code to run through Mr. Waylon’s entire system.It took her longer than usual to shut off her alarm, since she had been wrapped up in her bedding like a burrito. She had to roll a few times to unwrap herself and ended on the floor with a thud and a groan.Clearly she had not put herself to bed; someone had managed to put her in bed without her waking. Managing to scramble to her knees, she turned off her alarm, noticing that they had even plugged her phone in to charge.Shaking her head to herself, she rushed to her computer, almost tripping over her bedding and checked on the status. Ember grinned when she saw that it had run through successfully and she now would know everything he did on his computer.She closed the windows she had l

They’d received a lead that she had been signed into this school when the previous Luna had banished her from the pack.As a new father, he could only imagine how worried his alpha was over this young woman and had volunteered for this, even if she wasn’t his real daughter, he had raised her from 5 years old. Personally, he had no problem with her, she was a sweet kid, if somewhat reserved.He didn’t understand what the other members of the pack had against an innocent child, and recently it came out that the innocent child had been keeping up the tools for the kitchen and the garden since the ex-Luna had been stealing from the pack. Now everyone who had backed the ex-Luna had egg on their faces.Paul had made sure to be dressed elegantly in a suit for his visit to the academy. It wa
