All Chapters of Their Human Mate : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Carter It was funny, how, at one moment of my life, the only thing that ever really crossed my mind were thoughts of Moonlight and our pack. Now she did. She invaded every dream. Every thought. Just fucking everything. I had to see her. When she left, I forced my wolf to stand down. My primal part wanted to claim her on the spot, and I couldn't let that happen. I had already chosen her to add to our ranks for the chef we were looking for. Our beta, Jax, was tasked with keeping an eye on her, so we arranged for him to move next to her that same day and befriend her. As much as I hated another man being beside my mate, I knew Jax. We grew up together and the trust I had in him was undeniable, so I knew he would protect her at every corner. He smirked when I passed him in the hall after she closed the door in my face. I couldn't even deny her accusations. Except about sleeping with me just to get the job. While it's true I wanted every inch of her, it was not because of the job. Now, th

Ember I woke up the next morning with my dream from the previous night weighing heavily. Seth being here felt so real. It was almost like I could smell his essence. Almost as if there were a honey smell. I realized yesterday that Carter also had a citrus smell. Two of my favorite scents in the world. I had gotten washed up and dressed for the day. It was a beautiful Sunday morning. I checked my cell and saw an email from Moonlight. I scanned over the email and was super happy about what I had read. " Fuck..Yes!", I cheered. I got the job. I was most afraid that they would reject my application due to Seth's hatred of me and my rejection of Carter yesterday. So why would they approve it? I wondered to myself. No worries. I got the job. That was all that mattered. The pay was very decent, starting off at twenty-five an hour. The higher I rose in the company, the more the wages increased. I still had my green dot account and routing number, so I filled in that information. I wanted to

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

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

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
