2024-10-29 19:42:56He told the truth. Someone was pulling out of the parking lot with his car waving. Looking at the time on her dash it was almost 4:30 in the morning. Ember didn’t think he would have someone picking up his car that quick. She was ready to lose her mind.
“No, I don’t. Look, I’m trying to be nice. I was bringing you to your car. I have plans and need to be on the road.” She answered him while trying not to grit her teeth.
“When I looked at you my wolf knew you were my mate. It may be hard to understand, but you have to have something pretty special about you for you to be able to pair with a werewolf. Not to mention an Alpha. That’s why I’m curious about what you are.”
He was speaking to her in such an intense way. It was hard not to fall into his voice. “That and I’d like to know the person who I hope that I can convince to spend their life with me.”
Finally tearing her gaz

Ember had to laugh at the look on his face. Angry, confused, and adorable as he waited for her answer. Wait, did she just think adorable? She couldn’t help to be confused at her internal dialog. Accepting that she must be really tired.“That big box in the back that you lifted like it was nothing. It’s my bed. I built it.” Ember said with a laugh and a look of pride in herself. She can provide for herself and keep others safe too. Those doctors were wrong. Wrong in so many ways, but they were definitely wrong about her. Shaking her head and pushing those thoughts away. It was never a good thing to think about that place or the people in it.Keegan noticed Ember’s fluctuating emotions across her face. Her prideful laughter was the most erotic thing he had ever heard. He had felt each note running along his spine. But, just as quickly her gaze seemed to turn inwards and her smile went away. As much as he wanted to keep that smile o

After leaving Ember to get comfortable in her room and assuring her multiple times that the locks worked on all the doors.Keegan made his way to his bed. Contemplating how long he might have to wait before his mate would share his room. Forgoing the search for sleep pants, he opted for nothing. Removing everything out of his pockets to place in the bowl on his dresser. He grabbed his phone and laid down on his bed. Grimacing at the time, he sent out a text to Roderick and let him know that he would be at the house, but to still consider him on vacation until he cleared some things with Ember. To not let anyone bother the room next to his. Settling that first thing, he hit the call button for the next item on his agenda. Something that excited him almost as much as he dreaded it.“I’ve been waiting all night to hear from you and as soon as I closed my eyes you called. Of course. Poor Chris had to tell me all about how you ditched his party

The muffled screams wake Keegan. Instantly awake he rushes to the door leading to Ember’s room. Finding it locked Keegan pulls harshly and the door frame breaks. Falling to pieces. Not caring about the mess Keegan rushes into the bedroom. He could feel the urging of his wolf to protect his mate. Trying to locate where the screaming was coming from. They were already quieting though. His eyes landed on the box that had been moved to the furthest corner of the room. Ember’s cat was sitting on top, tail up, and arching her back hissing in Keegan’s direction. Realizing how feral he must look with his wolf so close to the surface and his sudden entrance had the cat in protection mode. The screams had stopped. Slowing his breathing he lowered to a knee and spoke as softly as his wolf would allow with his hand out.“Don’t worry little one. I’m not going to hurt your momma. She scared me.”The li

Placing her head in her hands, Ember wondered why she was doing this? Keegan had a strange pull on her, especially when he looked at her with those dark, intense eyes. Was she really his mate or was the loneliness of her life finally getting to her? “Melody, what do I do?” The little cat rubs her head beneath Ember’s chin in comfort before settling in her lap. “I guess I’ve got nothing to lose by telling him.” Looking into the slanted eyes of her best friend. “Except you, but I’ll burn it all to the ground before losing you too. I promise.” “I promise too, Ember. I won’t let anything happen to you or her.” Keegan’s voice had Ember lifting her head to find him standing in the doorway. Freshly dressed in a pair of dark slacks and a light blue dress shirt. The top couple of buttons were not closed and he was still barefooted, but he just radiated confidence as he looked at her.

Her taste was exquisite. Ember was melting into him. Keegan was struggling to find control. Her scent was addicting. Comforting him and exciting him all at once. Reminding him of the smell of a burning fire on a cold winter night with hot chocolate and peppermint. Keegan could feel the beat of her heart matching his. “Meerrroww!” Suddenly, a squirming ball of black fur pushed its way out of the middle of them. Announcing her frustration at being squished. Melody flicked her tail as she jumped off the bed. Breaking apart and breathing heavily, Ember stared into Keegan’s eyes. Thankful to see that they were sharing the same struggle. Keegan touched his forehead to hers and pressed a kiss on the tip of her nose. Ember looked so confused. “I’ll help you. We’ll solve this together. You don’t have to run. Promise me that you won’t run. Even though there’s nothing wolves love more than a game of chase, I

Sitting at the small table in Keegan’s kitchen nook. Half-listening to the brother and sister’s chatter about the budgets and stocking needed for one of the bars they own. An older lady, named Ilene, had sat plates of delicious smelling bacon, eggs, and toast in front of everyone when they had first sat down, but after devouring it all, Ember was trying to decide what her next move would be. Strange as it was, she didn’t feel like leaving Keegan behind. Besides those strange electric tingles, she gets every time they touch, it was the intense look in Keegan’s eyes when he said he would help. Ember had never had anyone help her with anything. It was always just her. Alone. From her earliest memories, Ember had been placed in that little room by herself. No one to help her dress, eat or brush her teeth. They gave her instructions that she had to follow. Punishments if she didn’t. Ember had heard screams from other patients but was never allowed to see them. The only information she re

Keegan tried to stop Terry, but realizing it was useless, he chose to just brace Ember and her chair. He should have realized his tender-hearted sister was going to turn into a bawling mess. Hell, he even had trouble listening to Ember talk about her past. At least he was able to focus on his anger at her situation instead of bawling like his sister. Poor Ember looked like a deer caught in headlights. Luckily, instead of igniting Terry into flames, she looked like she was, very awkwardly, patting her back. Then, before he knew it, Terry stood up and began pacing the kitchen. Ranting about the atrocities of some people. Her face was red with tears and anger, proclaiming that they’d have to go through her to ever see Ember again. Keegan couldn’t contain it when the laughter bubbled up out of him. “Keegan! How dare you laugh at a time like this! I’ll show them not to mess with this she-wolf’s sister-in-law!” Terry’s words were becoming rough and sounding mo

Seeing his sister’s submission, Keegan tried to calm himself. This was something that should have been brought to his attention though. Even if it was a rumor, it would need to be investigated. Terry knew that they couldn’t take any risks when it came to pack safety.“What did you hear?” Keegan said through clenched teeth.“I’m sorry, Keegan, I really didn’t t

Knowing that the house from her dreams was real troubled Ember. Everything always burned in her dream, so if it was real, how could it be still standing? Maybe it’s a different house that just sounded the same? Lots of houses in the South have honeysuckle vines. The internal dialog was going nowhere. The grip returned to her hand. That’s right, Ember thought, someone else was with her. She had agreed to accept help. It was strange, listening to others discuss something that had plagued her for as long as she could remember. Realizing she had spent almost a whole day with the man next to her was also strange. She should feel weird, but having him there felt right. Like, she was moving towards something, instead of just running away. Finding out that Robert wasn’t a regular human was surprising, but Ember was used to rolling with the punches. Maybe she just needed to realiz

“I’m sure y’all have heard the stories about Aphrodite, the goddess of love, and her son Cupid. They could spread love, but, also, lust or obsession.” Robert leaned his elbows on the bar and rubbed his forehead. “The lust and obsession part became a problem because of Aphrodite’s jealousy, spite fullness, whatever you want to call it,” Rolling his eyes skyward and waving a hand, he continued, “and her son’s willingness to please his mother. It created a problem with the other Gods. Then all hell broke loose when Hera found out Zeus was letting them off the hook because Cupid was using lust on humans Zeus found attractive a few times. I mean the stupidity of some people.”

Keegan enjoyed showing Ember around the community after convincing her that Melody would be fine staying behind in her room. Ember seemed to enjoy seeing the training grounds. Keegan knew he shouldn’t have felt jealous, because of the bond, but her not being a wolf left him a little concerned. That was until he learned her fascination was due to her love of dancing. She was impressed with how in sync everyone moved with each other. Several of the men and women training came over to meet the future Luna before Keegan dismissed them with the promise to return at a different time. Seeing the hopeful look on his mate's face, he asked her if she would like to train with him the next morning. They were now sitting in one of the back booths at his restaurant, enjoying a quick appetizer, while waiting for Terry. Ember jumped at the idea.
