Aiden's POVIt's Monday morning and I'm getting ready to head to school. Mackenzie hasn't spoken to me since our fight on Saturday. She's been avoiding me at all costs. No replies when I text, no picking up when I call, walking away when I approach her.I've been missing my mate so much that I couldn't sleep at all. I deserve it though. I should have told her what Jasmine has been doing. I should have stopped it before it even started. Now I'm left with getting my mate to forgive me, telling Jasmine off and beating the shit out of Trevor. I have been keeping my anger under wraps, not wanting to scare Kenzie but I can't just let him get away with putting his hands on my mate. His future Luna. He's supposed to be my friend and he's supposed to keep her safe when I'm not around yet he's the one inflicting the pain. I know that I've promised Mackenzie that I wouldn't do anything but this needs to be handled. What kind of man am I if I don't protect my woman. He isn't supposed to be pu
Kenzie's POVI sit up in my room, not knowing what the fuck to do now. All my friends--Aiden, have school and I'm all alone. I've already cleaned my room and finished any assignments that I had. I also had alot of time to think about everything that has been going on. Jasmine, the little bitch. She pretended to be my friend only to disrespect me in the end. Trevor fucking put his hands on me. Fucking asshole. My mate is fucking sexy and I can't do anything about it. He just does things to me without doing anything at all. I want to be with him but I'm scared. It's all new to the both of us. Maybe that's why Jasmine felt like she could pull shit like that. My inexperience gave her the opportunity that she needed to pursue Aiden. Maybe Aiden liked the pictures she sent. "No he didn't. Don't think like that." Aria scolds but I can't help it. Jasmine is beautiful, has a nice body and has the confidence that I lack. "The sexual kind." Aria says and I nod. "Why don't we learn?" She
Kenzie's POV"Go, Ben! Run!" I shout as I watch the boys run, trying to be the first to cross the finish line.Today is the twins' athletics day and they are doing great so far. Ben is running 800 metres but the little brat next to him is leading by a fucking inch. "Ben! I'll buy you a freaking boat. Run faster!" I scream and I hear Aiden chuckle next to me. "Calm down, babe." He says wrapping his arms around my waist and kissing my head. "No. I have been training them for this. He isn't even that slow. The kid beat me six times in a row for goddess sakes!" I tell him watching as they walk back having already finished the race. "It's second place, baby. He still did great." He says and I sigh. "Yeah you're right. He's not getting a boat though." I tell him walking out if his arms and towards Ben. "You did great, dude. I'm proud." I say, still a little mad that he let the other kid win."I can see the vein wanting to pop in your neck, Kenz. Go off." He says unbothered. "You let h
Kenzie's POVI walk through the doors of the school only to have everybody look at me. I raise my brows and they look away."What's with them?" Aria asks and I shrug. I walk down the hall, making my way to my locker. What stands before me is not my locker but an ugly piece of crap covered in green paint and pieces if trash. The word 'trashy' is written in red paint with gum all around it. "What the fuck." Aria states, her anger peaking. A growl escapes me and I turn around. I grab a small kid walking past and shove him into a locker next to mine. "Who the fuck did this?" Aria asks as I give her some control. "Jasmine Callan." Is all he says before I shove him away. I turn back to my paint covered locker before smiling. I open the locker and thank the goddess that my things weren't touch by the green goup.I shove my bag into the locker before shutting it and walking to my first class."We just got off of suspension, Kenzie." Aria says and I keep smiling. "Nothing is going to hap
Kenzie's POVWe're on our way back to school and I can't stop smiling. The numb ache between my legs and the shaking in them remind of what we did only a few minutes ago. I can tell that Aiden is thinking about it aswell 'cause he has a smile playing on his lips. I look at his hand on my thigh and blush. "We're here and we're late." He says but neither of us are in a rush. We take our time getting out of the car and walking into the school. We walk into the History class together only to have everybody staring at us in the doorway. I blush and hide behind him and he clears his throat. Only now do I realise that our hair is a bit messy and his shirt is a little wrinkled. "You're late." Mr. Simon says awkwardly. I try not to laugh as the kids begin whistling and hollering at us. "I apologize, Mr. Simon. It won't happen again." Aiden says and I see the old guy nod. We make our way to our seats and I try to fix my hair as much as I can. "Stop, you look perfect." He tells me and I mo
Kenzie's POVWe pull up infront of Alpha and Luna's house. "Mom and dad are going out on a trip to California to have the boys see what the place is actually like so we have the house to ourselves for the whole week." Aiden tells me and I nod."But I don't have any clothes here." I say as if we couldn't just make the five minute walk to the pack house. "You can wear mine for now and we can get yours a little later. It looks like it's going to rain so you don't have to dress up right now." He says with a sly grin. "You only want to see me in your hoodie with no pants on." I tell him as we walk into the house. "Yes, ma'am. I do." He says and I shake my head smiling."I'm starving so let's get some food first." He says and I walk to the kitchen. I grab some macaroni and put it in a pot for boiling. I work on my special sticky cheese sauce while it boils. I strain the mac once it's soft enough before adding it to the sauce. I get some butter before adding that aswell with some cheddar
Kenzie's POVI walk into the house to find all the lights off besides the kitchens lights. My brows furrow as I hear the faint sound of the t.v. I walk into the lounge, dropping my bag next to the couch. I try to be quiet incase Aiden is sleeping but what I see is not Aiden sleeping. I see Aiden being a cheating little prick."What are you doing?" I ask and he looks up from his spot on the carpet. "Oh. Just chilling." He says looking unbothered. "In your underwear?" I ask trying to keep my eyes off of his sexy, tattooed body. "Yeah. You don't mind do you?" He says with a smirk playing on his lips. My eyes turn to slit as I stare at him. "No, I don't mind. Why would I mind?" I ask and he chuckles."'Cause you put this 'no touching' rule down and you know, you can't keep your hands off of me." He cockily says and I roll my eyes. "Okay, bro. Whatever floats your boat." I say and he smirks. An idea comes to mind and my lips stretch into a smirk. "I'm gonna go take a shower. You could
Kenzie's POV"Where the fuck have you been!?" I back up, shocked by his tone and language."Calm down, Aiden. What is going on?" I ask confused at his sudden outburst. "Don't tell me to fucking calm down. You left without telling me." He rages and I gap at him."So I should run everything I do by you now? I think the fuck not." I say before turning to Derek. "I'll text you later, okay." I tell him and he looks at a still fuming Aiden. "You gonna be okay? I can wait until he calms down. Or you can come to the pack house with me." He says and I smile shaking my head. "I'm gonna be fine, D. He's not going to do anything. I'll text you as soon as anything happens." I tell him and he sighs. "I'll see you tomorrow." He says hesitantly. I nod and he drives off.I wait until his car is out of sight before turning to Aiden. "Get inside the fucking house, Mackenzie." He says and I can hear Zeus wanting to come out. Not wanting to anger him any further, I walk into the house and up to his r
*7 years later.*Kenzie's POVAiden pulls my chair out next to his at the head of the table. I sit down and thank him. He takes his seat and instantly grabs my hand. I smile at him and lightly squeeze. "Wanna watch a movie after dinner?" He asks and I nod. "Yeah. I have to help your mom with something first though." I tell him and he furrows his brows. "And what's that?" He asks and I raise a brow with a small smirk. "Nosey much." He raises his hands in surrender and I laugh. "You look beautiful." He compliments me and a blush rises on my cheeks. Years later and he still gives me butterflies. "Thank you, baby. You look so handsome." I say and he has a proud smile on his face. "Thank you, my love." "Can you guys stop flirting so we can eat. We're freaking starving." Dree says as she rubs her pregnant belly. 6 months pregnant and ready to pop, that's what she is. "The food isn't even at the table yet, Dree." I say and she pouts. "Here, have some cheese." Aiden quickly offers as he
Kenzie's POV(Three weeks later)It is the day of the fight and for some odd reason I am very calm.I have spent these three weeks getting used to the fact that I would not need to take care of Aiden anymore whilst training for the fight. The stress and annoyance of not having his attention has been taking the focus away from everything else.He has been very distant, constantly hiding away in the library with his nose in a book which is weird but expected since he literally just came out of a coma. I have a feeling that he wants to do things that he would not have done before and I totally get it. ...but I need attention. And this behaviour could also be because of what happened last week..."Hey." I hear from behind me and turn around. "You're back." I say and he walks further into the room. "What are you up to?" He asks sitting down next to me. "I'm getting the last of the pack work done. I can't seem to find the medical records of one pack member and it's stressing me out." I t
Aiden's POVI wake up in a dark room with my sleeping mate cuddled up to me. My heart rate spikes at the sight of her and a beeping noise draws my attention to the side. I look at the heart rate monitor that is hooked up and I furrow my brows. There is a needle from an IV in my arm. What the hell is going on?I slowly pull the needle out and remove the peg from my finger. My body screams in pain with every move I make and I lowly groan. Kenzie sturrs next to me and I stay still not wanting her to wake up. She turns over and grabs her pillow like she alway does. A soft chuckle escapes me as I move the hair behind her ear. After watching her for a couple more minutes, I slowly get off the bed and stand up with much difficulty. My body aches from head to toe but I ignore it and grab her phone to look at the time. 05:39 am.I set it back down and walk to the bathroom. Turning the light on, I look at myself to see something I didn't expect. A thin, pale face, dark circles under my ey
Kenzie's POVI take the towel out of the cool water and wring it out before pressing it against Aiden's burning body.It has been four days since we got him back and he has yet to wake up. The doctor said that he has silver poisoning and that the wolfsbane was slowly shutting down his body. His organs might start shutting down if he doesn't start showing signs of recovery. The poison is slowly killing him. If we had waited 30 minutes or more to get him to the doctor, he would've died. That thought alone makes me sick to my stomach. I have tried to shake it off but it bothers me. It had been so easy for that Hellhound to find us, who says other threats are not lurking. Well of course they are but how did they know where to find us. I've started becoming so paranoid that I wouldn't let anybody but Aiden's parents and our friends come near him. Even then, I'm still second guessing their intentions. It doesn't matter what relationship thwy have with him, everybody puts me on edge when
Aiden's POVI don't know how long I've been here but I know that it has been days. They have given me food twice which is hardly enough for me to keep my strength up but they know that. They are being supposedly smart about this and I have to give it to them. All I'm waiting for is the moment one of them slips up. I've tried finding a way out but the most room is lined with silver and wolfsbane which makes it impossible to hear or touch anything near the door or windows. Zeus is weak from the silver and lack of food but he still responds now and then. The door opens loudly but I don't look up as the repulsive smell hits my nostrils. "Wake up, dick brain." Beji's annoying voice rings in my ear and I growl at him. "You'd be wise to have a little more respect then that, mutt, for you'd be sorry when I get my hands on you." I say looking up slowly just in time to see the fear in his eyes before he tries to cover it."You're not getting out alive so you can only dream of killing me."
Kenzie's POV"What are you doing dumbass. You have to catch it not run from it." Aiden yells from across the soccer field. "Well forgive me for wanting to keep my head on my shoulders. You kick like a freaking...like a freaking... I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT!" I yell in frustration and he starts laughing. "Stop it." I whine with a pout on my lips. I cross my arms over my chest and he stops laughing. "Aww baby, come on now. You're going to learn... eventually. I'm just trying to prepare you for what's to come when you have to play an actual game. I kick harder to give you an advantage." He explains and I look up at him with an annoyed look. "I don't even like soccer. Or any sport for that matter." I say and he chuckles. "Then let's find something you do like." He says and I look up at him with a smile causing him to roll his eyes. "Sleeping is not a sport, Kenzie." He says and I huff."Come on. Let's go cool off in the lake." He suggests with a mischievous look and I giggle. Jumping int
Kenzie's POVI wake up to people talking around me and a numbing pain all over my body. A whimper leaves me due to the the pain I feel when I try to move my legs. "Hey, hey. You have to be still, honey. Relax." I hear a voice familiar to Alex's speak. I feel her rubbing my hair but I can't actually see her. Blurry figures is all I can see. "Aiden?" I call softly and my heart starts racing once I feel a dull ache in my chest. "Aiden!?" I yell out to him but nobody answers. "Where is Aiden!? Where is my mate!?" I scream as I blindly look around the room. Not being able to see anything only adds on to the frustration and anger. Ignoring the pain I lift my heavy arms and legs only to be held down. "Let go of me! I want Aiden!" I keep yelling."Doctor, can we give her something to calm her down." I hear somebody ask with urgency in their voice. I soon feel a sharp sting in my arm and a loud howl leaves me. "FUCKING LET GO!" I yell in pure rage and pain as the ache in my chest grows.
Kenzie's POV"Stop." I say giggling as he keeps on kissing up my neck. We just got out the shower and Aiden is in a great mood. He suggested that we watch a movie but he is distracting me more then we're actually focused on the T.V."No." He whines into my neck as he throws his leg over me, clinging onto me like a koala bear. "My little baby." I say kissing his forehead and I can feel him smile against my skin. "We should do something fun today." I suggest and he lifts his head from my neck. "Like what?" He asks and I shrug."We could go for a run and swim in the stream behind the house." He says and I squeal. "Oh my gosh yes! I have been dying to get into some water other then the shower." I say and he chuckles. "You are so random." He says before getting up and pulling me with him. We walk into the closet and he pulls our bags out. I get out my royal blue bikini that I didn't know that I packed and he put on some blue and yellow swim trunks."How does this look?" I ask him and he
Kenzie's POVWe are on our way to Alpha and Luna's cabin and the tension in the car is overwhelming. The party ended at eleven o'clock and now we are on our way to our 'alpha and luna honeymoon'. Luna suggested that we go last minute and I thinking that she caught onto the bad vibes between Aiden and I. We have not spoken since we left and I really don't care anymore. If he wants to act like a child and pout or sulk the whole time then fine. I'm not going to force communication with a grown ass man. He pulls into the drive way and shuts the car off before getting out. Slamming the door shut he goes to the back and gets the bags out. I get out and go towards the back as he walks to the front door with only one bag in his hand. That little prick."We don't need your fucking help anyway, asshole!" Aria rages and I can tell that she's really affected by Aiden and Zeus shutting us out. "Relax, Ari. He just as a bruise ego." I tell her and she huffs. I get my bags out and shut the trunk
