Ember Carter texted me he was outside. I nearly tripped down the steps trying to get down so fast. Why was my heart beating so fast? Why was I so nervous? I sported a casual v-cut blue t-shirt that clung to my body but in a modest way. The shirt matched the blue in my eyes exactly, so I knew it was flattering. I let my hair hang around my shoulders, tucking one side behind my ear. My white pants complimented the outfit along with my blue and white sandals with the gems. Thankfully, I had my feet done, painted my usual white color. I sprayed a bit of sex on the beach perfume on me. Just a touch. I didn't care to be bathed in perfume. That was unflattering. I didn't put it on for him. I just enjoyed the sweet smell of it myself. Carter was waiting by his car and my eyes sure displayed surprise as I walked towards him. Then again, why would I be shocked? He was one of the two most important bachelors in Miami. His car was a black Lamborghini. He smiled his award-winning smile as I appr
Ember" I have no clue what you mean, sir. She seemed to have an attitude though", I told Carter, but he could see through me easily. My body had seemed to have betrayed me. " There you go with that sir again", he said to me with a brow raised. I looked at him and smiled. I was not sure where the word was even coming from. " Does it bother you? You are my boss after all. Wouldn't I have to call you sir?", I asked, trying to play it off. " Only at work. Out of work, you can just call me Carter. I like how it sounds out of your mouth, anyway. " He said, and I blushed, looking down. " Everyone else just calls you Mr. Moonstone or boss, yet you allow me to call you Carter", I asked him. It was more of a question, but it came out as a statement. He didn't respond to it and changed the topic. " So, what made you decide to move to Miami?", he asked me. Before I could respond, our wine was being brought to us by a different waitress named Pearl. I was confused. " Where is Emma?', I aske
Seth" Who the fuck sent you to spy on my pack? Was it Ryder? ", I demanded to know from the wolf tied to the chair. I tied his hand with silver chains. Being a blue moon alpha had its advantages, with one of them being immune to silver. I had him chained in our pack dungeon, where Carter and I kept the degenerate wolves. I landed a punch to his filthy face. This was always my favorite part. Getting the details, I needed with a bit of persuasion. I had no compassion for those enemies who chose to work for that monster, and I made sure they knew it. " Like I'd ever tell you anything", the wolf spat back. "You think that monster of an Alpha is going to care about you if I send you back to him with your legs missing? How much use will you be to him then?", I said behind him. I was wrapping my fists in silver chains. Our cells were created in pure silver with wooden floors, so none of the prisoners could link their alphas or even their mates. It may seem cruel, but I value this pack's s
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
