Kenzie's POVI wake up to the sound of somebody bumping into something. "Shit." The curse under their breath and I relax only to tense up again when all the thoughts of yesterday rush back. I sit up and look at Aiden standing there with his, picking up whatever fell. "What are you doing in here?" I ask, my voice sharp and strong. "You're up." He says sounding surprised. I turn the lamp on and his eyes immediately flick over to Derek's sleeping figure. "What is he doing in your bed?" He immediately asks and I raise my brow. "Sleeping. What are you doing in my room?" I ask softly and he narrows his eyes. "I don't like the fact that there is another male in your bed, Mackenzie. Bestfriend or not" He says sternly and the sick side of me wants to bow my head and apologize. "I don't think you are in any position to be talking about anything like this." I say tiredly and he huffs. I get up and walk out of the room and down to the kitchen. "Can I just explain what happened?" He says
Aiden's POV"How did it go? Did she throw shit at you? Did she bite you?" Jeremy asks excitedly. I scrunch my face up and he smirks. "She bit you, didn't she." He says and I chuckle shaking my head. "You are one weird guy. No she didn't bite me and no she didn't throw things at me. We spoke. We're working things out." I tell him and he nods. "I see. I still think Kenzie should whoop your dumb ass. Why would you even kiss another girl man." He says looking at his phone. I sigh and put my book down. "It seemed like the right yet wrong thing to do at the time. I was trying to get her off our backs." I say and he gives me a deadpan look. "Bro. Whenever a girl who is not your mate tries to make a move on you, you tell your mate. Let her deal with it. You should discuss things like that." He says and I nod. "Given their history and the crap Jasmine has pulled before, Kenzie most certainly would've beat the crap out of her. This is strike two and I have to do everything I can to preven
Aiden's POVI'm pulling my shoes on when my phone starts ringing. "Hello." "What's taking you so long? You know how Eva gets about time management." I hear Derek speak and a chuckle leaves me. "I'll be right down. Two minutes." I say and he hangs up. I run through my hair with my fingers after spraying some cologne on. My phone, car keys and wallet are in my pocket hand as I walk out of my room, closing my door. When I reach outside, they are all standing by their cars and I smirk as I see Kenzie behind everybody. "Maybe you shouldn't have been playing with her like that, crapface. You might have blown our chance." Zeus says and I roll my eyes. "You know she liked it." "Okay so everybody's here. Let's get going." Dree says and everybody nods. "Mackenzie, you can ride with me." I say just as everybody goes to their cars. "It's fi--" She goes to say but Derek cuts her off. "Yeah, Kenz. You should ride with him. You wouldn't want to be caught in a conversation about Dree and Je
Kenzie's POVI pull the oversized hoodie over my head before hopping onto my bed and getting under the covers. I can't do anything because I don't have a phone anymore and I don't feel like watching movies. Me crying was not because my phone was probably ruined or anything but because he was not him. He acted like a psychopath and it honestly scared me.Aiden has gone too far tonight and I won't stand that crap. I just want us to get to where we were already but his actions and mine set us back a dozen steps. I get the paperwork that Alpha gave me out and I start doing that. My mind goes into the work, forgetting about everything else for a while. Just as I'm about to finish, there is a knock on my door. "Come in." I say distracted as I try to fill in the last of the information needed. "Hey." The deep voice says and my head shoots up. His beautiful face makes me feel lighter yet so heavy. "Hey." I say softly before moving the work to the side table. "It's three in the morning. W
Kenzie's POVI zip up my bag before plopping down on my bed. "We need to get showered. I want to be with our mate." Aria says excitedly and I roll my eyes before pulling myself up.I hop into the shower and scrub my body quickly. My shower is rushed due to Aria putting thoughts into my head. Me not finishing this morning adds on to the frustration. I blow dry my hair as I hum a random tune before getting lotioned up and dressed. Once I'm ready, I grab my bags and walk out of my room. "Finally." I hear Jeremy say. "What? I didn't even take that long." I say and he scoffs. "Yeah. That's why you're the last one down." He says and I smile sheepishly. "Now let's go. We have a long drive ahead of us." Aiden says and we all walk out the door. He grabs my bags just as I was about to and winks at me. "Whose car is this?" Eva asks as she looks at the SUV in the driveway. "This is my dad's car. We are going to be using it for the week since it's bigger then any of our cars." Derek says and w
Kenzie's POV"Kenz...Kenzie. Kenzie wake up." I hear someone call as my body is being shaken. "Whaaaaattt??" I whine snuggling deeper into the warmth. "I have to go pee so if you would kindly stop humping my leg." Aiden's voice speaks and I huff before moving away. "Hey get up, we're not gonna be stopping again once we get on the road." He says and I open one eye. My hand goes up to rub it and I stretch. "What time is it?" I ask as I follow him out of the car. "Past six. You slept for a long time." He says chuckling and I smile. "That was some good sleep." I say as we go around the side of the gas station building to the toilets. We pay the lady sitting there before going into our designated bathrooms. I find Adrienne and Eva looking half dead in there before giggling. "I wanna sleep." Adrienne whines and I pull her into my chest. "Soon, dear child, soon." I mock and she grunts. I finish my business before washing my hands and leaving with the girls. We walk into the gas station
Kenzie's POVI pack away the last of the food and hop onto the counter next to Dree. "So what's happening now?" Derek asks and Jeremy smiles. "We drink vodka!" He says in a Russian accent.Aiden walks out of the room at that moment and scrunches his face up. "Your accent is horrible." He says, knocking Jeremy upside the head. Jeremy rolls his eyes and childishly sticks his tongue out at Aiden. He grabs a water and leans against the counter next to me, his arm touching my thigh causing sparks to run up and down my leg. I look at Eva who's wiggling her eyebrows at me. "I have to take a shower first. Also, we're making sure you get drunk tonight." Dree says next to me and I roll my eyes before hopping off the counter. "I'm gonna go take a shower aswell and no, I don't do alcohol." I say before walking into the bedroom. I pull my bag to the bed. I get some comfortable underwear and pyjamas out. Laying them on the bed, I walk into the bathroom and strip out of my clothes. I play some
Aiden's POVI lay on the bed, propped up on my forearms, staring at the door. The door Kenzie just left through after doing the most painful thing she could have done. Give me blue balls."What the fuck just happened?" Zeus asks and I fall flat on the bed. "I don't know." I whisper to myself. I get up and grab my shirt from the floor before shrugging it on. I open the door and walk out as I zip up my jeans. I fasten the belt just as I enter the living room. Looking up, I find Derek and Dree's eyes on me. They both smirk before looking at each other and laughing. "Didn't last long?" Dree asks and I roll my eyes with a smirk. "Foods' almost done." Eva yells from the kitchen and I take a seat next to Derek. "Where Kenzie?" I ask and he shrugs. "I think she went out back with Jer." I nod and open our mind link. "Where are you?" I ask but Aria responds. "We want to go on a run. Join us?" She asks and I cut the connection before getting up. "I'm gonna go for a run." I tell Derek and
*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
