Written in 2nd P.O.V
You walk into the Sweet House of Coffee, a luxury coffee shop you've worked at for over a year. You honestly loved your job because of the simple fact that you love to bake and you do most of the baking in the shop because you're so good at it. Some of your recipes are even incorporated in the shop. Such as your beignets, filled pastries, cannolis so on and so forth. The delectable smell of Godiva coffee and muffins instantly put a smile on your face walking through the double door entrance to the shop. You say hello to Khori , your best friend/manager of the shop, as she ground up some coffee beans placing them in a container labeled "Ready to use."
"Good morning", you chirped with a huge smile plastered on your face.
"Good morning", she replied back chuckling, "why you so graceful this morning?", she questioned taking the roasted cinnamon apple muffins out the oven.
"You know October is my favorite month of the year, I'm soooo ready for the Halloween party this year, I think this year I'm going to be a slutty cat" you said mimicking your fingers as claws making the "meow" sound, licking the top of your hand as a cat would do.
Every year Khori had a huge party at her grandparents lake house. Because they passed it on to her over 6 years ago, she could do practically whatever she want with the house. It was in her name and everything. But this wasn't just an ordinary lake house. It was more like a lake mansion. The craftsmanship was absolutely stunning. It was three stories tall with 5 rooms, 5 bathrooms, a humongous kitchen and dining room. The living room had a 80 inch flat screen tv against the wall with a hot tub in the middle of the room surrounded by tan colored sofas. It was also plenty of her family photos on the walls across the house. But the backyard is where the fun is at. She has a big ass pool, with a bar next to it filled with any liquor you can think off. Plenty of lounge chairs surrounding the pool with floaties and noodles in this pink crate by the outside storage room. There was even a bathroom in the storage room so you don't have to go inside to use the restroom.
"You're always a slut for Halloween, why not be something scary for a change." She interjected giving you a creepy smile.
"Like what, a tampon filled with blood. That's pretty scary." You joked looking at the lopsided muffins.
" I could even be this sorry ass excuse you call a muffin." You smiles picking up the heavily dented dessert, immediately dropping it remembering she did just take it out the oven. You felt the heat instantly burn your fingertips, pain rushing through the nerves of your index finger and thumb.
"That's exactly what your ass gets, not everyone is gifted with baking like you." She grinned.
"You stick to making coffee and smoothies, and I'll do the baking." You laughing taking a bite out of the muffin.
"It's not bad tho, just need a little more cinnamon and sugar." You said finishing the muffin.
"That's coming out your check." Khori jokes walking towards the back to the storage room.
You honestly didn't know why you were in such a good mood. You just had this feeling inside that something remarkable was gonna happen. You didn't know if it was today or tomorrow or year from now. You just had some good energy flowing through your veins. People always referred to you as an optimistic anyways.
Ken walked into the shop fixing his red crew neck labeled " SWEET HOUSE" in big navy blue letters and a animated cottage house directly underneath it. You've always had the biggest crush on him, his long golden ombré dreadlocks, smooth brown skin. He had a tattoo of a broken heart on his side burn, flowing next to his nicely trimmed beard. He had big plush lips, beautiful teeth and a dimple on the left side of his face. You didn't want him to know about your little crush because you was afraid it would ruin the friendship since you guys had been knowing each since middle school.
" Morning Keki." He flashed a bright smile.
"Good morning." You chimed looking at the clock trying not to blush.
"We open in exactly 2 hours , time to start baking." You cheesed walking into the kitchen, hearing his chuckle behind you.
Since it was October and very close to Halloween , you decided to do a Fall/Halloween type of theme.
From pumpkin shaped cookies with homemade buttercream frosting with orange and green sugar crystals, and pumpkin spice cake pops portrayed as bats and daddy long leg spiders, to miniature pumpkin and sweet potatoes served with homemade whip cream.
You also remade the muffins that Khori failed so hard to achieve. Looking at the cinnamon sugar crust on the muffins, steam just rolling off the top of them. You smiled to yourself feeling accomplished.
"That's what you call a muffin." You smiled to yourself looking at the clock.
10 am.
"Open for business."

It was a pretty busy day. You guys sold outta everything as usual. All that was left to serve was coffee, cappuccino, smoothies, basically all types of drinks.
You was wiping tables, your face showed disgust as you pick up a napkin not knowing the substance on it.
" Is it that hard to clean up after yourself? I mean do these customers have no home training." You mumbled to yourself.
It was almost 10 minutes to close when you heard the door open, the doorbell chiming in the process.
"We only have drinks left so you if want coffee or a smoothie you're in for a treat." You said finishing the last table turning around to see who walked in.
You automatically felt this strong ass pull towards the customer.
He had short brown hair with deep chocolate skin. He had a tribal tattoo going across his shoulder to his back. You didn't understand what the symbols meant but you loved the concept of it.
He was wearing a black crew neck that showed just the right amount of neck and collarbone giving you a sneak peek of his muscles perfectly through his shirt, with loose grey sweatpants hanging just below his waist giving a view of a deep v-line cut with his black Polo boxers on. This man was absolutely stunning.
You found yourself self just staring at him as he stared at you. It was only you and Khori in the store. Ken had to leave early to deal with some problems at home while Khori was in the office counting the money.
"Wha-what can I get y-you." You slightly stuttered feeling out of it because of this random stranger.
"MINE!", He growled causing you take a step back and he step forward.

Werewolf"You're not my Alpha. I don't have to listen to you." He grabbed me closely, looking deep into my chocolate eyes, grazing my cheek softly. I banged his chest, trying desperately to loosen his grip from around my waist. "I am your Alpha and your mate...
