Kenzie's POVThe week flew by fast and it's already Saturday. My nervous are everywhere and I don't know why.I fix the pesky string of hair that just won't cooperate. "Damnit!" I shout and stomp my foot. First I burn my shirt, then I stub my pinky toe and now the fucking hair won't go were I want it to. "Are you okay?" The very familiar voice asks and I breath in his intoxicating scent. I instantly relax and turn around with around to look at my handsome mate. "Hi. Yeah. I'm fine." I tell him and he smiles. He walks further into the room and hands me a single pink rose. A blush rises on my cheeks as I take the rose from him. We--I have been making progress this week. I've gotten comfortable with holding hands at school and kissing in my room--not that we kissed alot this week, only twice. I'm still learning though and he understands. "I got it from my mom's garden. She threw a shoe at me." He says and I laugh. "Already risking your life for me." I state and he nods. "Are you re
Aiden's POVI lay awake, watching Mackenzie as she sleeps. From what I have been told, your mate will be snuggled up to you when you wake up but no, Mackenzie has other plans.Her head is near the edge of the bed and her one leg is bent up. I laugh as she lets out a loud snore. I can't believe I actually got that on camera.Her eyes open and she looks at, holding my phone. "Good morning baby." I say softly and as if it just registered in her mind, she lunges at me for my phone. I end the video and lock my phone. "Aiden! Delete it, please." She whines and I shake my head. "Nope." She pouts and tears up a bit causing me to drop my hand. "Mackenzie, it's just a video." I say pulling her towards me by her hand. She starts sobbing and I sit there, confused as hell. "I look ugly." She sobs and I pull her away from my chest. "No you don't. You always look beautiful. Please don't cry baby." I tell her truthfully. "You're just lying to me." She says and sobs even harder. She gets up and
Kenzie's POV*1 week later.*Alex gave birth and she didn't tell me. I have to hear from Aiden that they apparently didn't want to disrupt our time. What even is that?!I missed my potential future bestfriend's birthday. Aiden missed the birth of his baby sister and I feel like crap about it. School just let out and I'm walking to the Alpha's house to meet the little bug. Her name is Nova and from the pictures Aiden showed me, she is just precious.Last week was...eventful. I know exactly what I did and how I acted. It's embarrassing yet reassuring to know that he won't run away even in my semi-horrible moments.I come to the door of the beautiful home and knock. Alex opens up shortly after with a guilty look on her face. "Kenzie, honey. How are you." She says sheepishly and I cross my arms. "I want to see my baby. I'm mad at you." I tell her and she sighs moving aside to let me in. I follow her up the stairs and into a baby pink room with a black crib and a huge teddy bear in the
Kenzie's POV"Your dealer?" He asks slowly. I look down, nodding slowly."You do drugs?" He asks but I don't hear any judgment in his tone. I nod, refusing to look at him. "Mackenzie... I- why?" He asks softly. His fingers go underneath my chin and he lifts my face a little. I look at him as tears spring to my eyes."It keeps the nightmares away." I say softly and he sighs, pulling me into his chest. I refuse to let myself cry but it doesn't work as tears run down my cheeks. "I'm sorry." He whispers into my hair. "I stopped smoking after we went swimming. It was hurting Aria." I tell him in a small voice. "It's okay, baby. Have you had any nightmares since then?" He asks and I nod. "In the week." I say. "After you left." I add softly and he hugs me tighter. My hands grip the back of his shirt like my life depends on it."Goddess, Mackenzie. Why didn't you tell me?" He asks and I look up at him. "I didn't want to annoy you with it." I tell him and he sighs.His thumb gently wipes
Aiden's POVI'm walking to class when I see Mackenzie running towards me. She stops just as she's about to collide with me. "Hey, what's going on?" I asks and just smiles."I need to show you something." She beams and I smiles raising. She grabs my hand and pulls me down the hallway. We enter the science lab and we go to the back of the room. She stops in front of a row of flower pots with colourful flowers sticking out from them. "This is nice." I tell her still not knowing what's going on."Look." She says pointing to a pot with her name on it. There is a little green stem that's growing. Her pot is the only one that doesn't have flowers. I frown and look at her. "No. It's nothing to be sad about. Mr. Mikkel told us to make our own compost to see if we can actually grow something from it. I failed many times but this formula actually worked and now my flower is growing!" She says happily and I smile at her. She is glowing and I can't help but to pick her up and spin her around.
Aiden's POV *2 IN A ROW SON!*We walk into the house and the first thing that hits me is the smell of my favourite dish ever. Chicken Alfredo. "Mom, I love you!" I yell as Mackenzie laughs next to me. I hurry into the kitchen and see my mom dancing in front of the stove. "I love you too." She says as she switches of the burners. She puts everything into serving bowls before placing it on the table. I serve myself some before Mackenzie does the same. "This is heaven." I groan and Mackenzie blushes. I wink at her and she looks away. She's been quieter after what happened in the kitchen earlier and I know she's thinking about it. Hell, I've been thinking about it too, how warm she felt."Aiden." Mom calls and I look at her. "You're drooling." She says and my hand goes to my mouth. It's dry and I give her a deadpan look while they both laugh. The twins sit down and eat lunch with us. We finish and Mackenzie helps move clean in while I watch her butt move with every step. She turns a
Kenzie's POVIt's been four weeks since we got the talk from Alpha and Luna, three since Aiden moved into the pack house, two since Aiden and I argued over some petty bullshit. It's also been two weeks since I've seen Aiden.Yes, he went AWOL and hasn't been answering my calls or messages. I have been worrying but I know he's safe because Alex told me that him and Alpha Mason left to attend the Alphas' conference.It's an event whereby Alpha's gather to speak about alliances and merging. I know for a fact that we are not merging with anybody. With Alpha Mason being king and Aiden being next in line, they had to attend. He didn't tell me anything because he left really early. "And he's pissed at you." Aria speaks, being petty over the fact that I was kinda the reason we argued.I don't know why the hell he isn't replying to me but I fucking miss my mate. "Mackenzie!" I hear my name being called. My head snaps to the voice only to see Harold, seething with anger. "What?" I ask and h
Kenzie's POVWe walk into the pack house and I go up the stairs while Aiden walks into the kitchen. I don't want to talk about anything right now but it has to be done. I walk into my room and take a quick shower. I comb through my tangled wet hair and walk out after blow drying it. Aiden is sitting on my bed with his arms resting on his thighs. I walk over to sit next to him. "I'm sorry about what I said before you left. It was selfish of me to say that after we had the whole conversation." I tell him. We had a petty fight and I told him that I didn't want a mate in the first place. It wasn't a lie but I have a change of heart now."You were mad and I was mad. It's okay, babe. I'm sorry for ignoring you the whole time." He says grabbing my hand and kissing it. I smile at him before pecking his lips. "What happened today?" He asks and I play with my fingers. "First promise me that you won't do anything irrational." I say and he nods. "Say it, Aiden." I tell him and he rolls hi
