Burning Desire

Chapter 2

Cara

“Child, hurry up with those biscuits!” Mauve, the head cook said to Cara.

“Sorry, you taught me that I can’t overwork the dough or the biscuits will be tough.” I explained to Mauve.

“Child, going slow isn’t overworking the dough, it just going slow. You want to mix the dough until just comes together. Mixing any longer you have overworked that dough.” Mauve signed as she explained this to me.

“I’m sorry for being slow with the biscuits, Ms Mauve, I just wanted them be good.” I said.

“Baby girl, you are a wonderful baker, trust me if I didn’t think you have good biscuits, I would never let you make them. Now hurry up and get that batch to the oven. Alpha will be down for breakfast soon and he doesn’t like to be kept waiting.” Mauve stated.

As the biscuits baked, Mauve, me, and the rest the kitchen omegas started plating all the breakfast dishes for the buffet.

“Ok everyone, let’s start putting these on the buffet and I am going down to the pantry to do inventory for market.” Mauve told the omegas.

Everyone grabbed a plate and took out to the buffet. I grabbed the plate of scrambled eggs and just as she was walking through the door to the dining hall, Vivian came running back into the kitchen.

“Crash”

Scrambled eggs we’re everywhere.

“Oh my god! We are dead! We are so dead!” Vivian started panicking.

“Calm down, ok we can fix this. How many eggs do we have?” I asked Jenna, another omega helping in the kitchen.

“About 25, not enough for scrambled eggs for the pack.” Jenna said.

“We are so dead!” Vivian mumbled.

“Calm down, we are not dead. Get me cheese, onions, peppers, just get me everything out the fridge.” I ordered.

I grabbed a huge mixing bowl and started breaking the eggs into it. Added a little cream, spices, chopped onions, peppers, garlic, cheese, and tomatoes to the egg mixture. Then quickly started frying up this egg mixture.

“What is that?” Vivian asked as she watched as I cook.

“We don’t have enough eggs, but we can stretch the eggs by adding more stuff to them. So if anyone asks just tell them it gourmet scrambled eggs.” I explained.

By the time the eggs were cooked it looked like was enough for the pack. I just prayed they tasted good as she took the plate of the gourmet scrambled eggs out to the buffet.

Soon the dining hall was busy and everyone looked like they were enjoying the breakfast. Mauve came back up to the kitchen and Jenna told her about the egg mishap.

“So I have to add more eggs to the shopping list I assume.” Mauve questioned.

Vivian, Jenna, and I nodded our heads. “So has anyone said anything about these gourmet s rambled eggs yet?” Mauve questioned.

The door opened and one the warriors appeared before them.

“Ms Mauve, Alpha is asking for you.” He exclaimed.

“Oh no it the eggs, I knew it!” Vivian said.

“Relax, it time for the grocery order, he may have a special request.” Mauve said as she walked out the door.

Mauve walked over the table bowed to the Alpha and Luna.

“Alpha, you wished to see me?” She asked.

“Yes Mauve, the Luna and myself wanted to give you my compliments on this egg dish. These are the best eggs we had.” He said to Mauve.

“Yes, I love that you added vegetables to scrambled eggs, then added the cheese. They are like an omelette but scrambled, I loved them. Luna said smiling.

“Thank you Alpha and Luna, but I can not take this compliments, one of my omegas actually made the dish.” She told them.

“Well, it seems we have future chef in the kitchen omegas, well send them my thanks.” He told her.

“I will, thank you.” Mauve bowed her head and turned and left to go back to the kitchen.

“You can relax girls, Cara, the Alpha and Luna loved your eggs.” She told the girls.

“Do they know I made them?” Cara asked Mauve.

“No child they do not know was you, I just said it was an omega. Trust me I know better then go tell them that was you.” Mauve patted Cara on the head, then said, “ok, finish cleaning up, you three have school.”

We finished up cleaning and quickly went off to school. Mauve shook her head at the sight of them leaving. Jenna and Vivian were assigned the kitchen duty for 2 month as part of a punishment. Only Cara was permanent help.

Mauve knew if Luna knew it was really Cara who made the eggs, there would be drama. Luna was strange when came to Cara. It could be perfect and if the Luna knew Cara was one did it, she make a weird remark indicating wasn’t up to standards. It was almost like Luna was jealous of Cara for some weird reason.

Jace

After I got back from training, I took a shower and got dressed before I headed down to breakfast. I looked over at my dirty clothes and saw my game shirt was still there, not cleaned.

I groaned, I needed that today for the game. When I get to school, I just get that omega servant girl to wash and clean it.

I get down to the dining area and help myself to a large helping of bacon, which is my favorite and see we have a new egg dish, I try it. It just eggs I figure.

I get to the table where my mother and father are and can hear my mom going in about these eggs.

“Oh, Mauve really has outdone herself. These eggs are divine!” My mom says.

“It’s just eggs mom, what makes so divine?” I ask her.

“Jace, honey, just try them you will see what I am talking about.” She says.

So I took a bite, she is right these are good. I nod my head in approval as I took another bite.

“See! I told you! Whatever got into Mauve with these eggs, I hope it continues!” My mom says.

My best friend and future Beta Bryan comes and sits next to me and says

“You ready for the game today?” He asks me.

“Which game is today?” My das asks me.

“Soccer, we going into playoffs.” I tell him.

“That’s great, make sure you bring a championship to your school, don’t let them down.” He says to me.

I know my dad. What he is really saying is don’t let him down, I have to win.
