Alaina's Destiny Book 2

Chapter 7

Ashton

  I am so happy that Alaina is ok, she's been happy and healthy and full of energy since she woke up from that little coma and I couldn't be happier. She has been the reason for my happiness, and I can tell you that I truly love her. Five months of getting to know her better and protecting her, it feels like she's fully mine, but she isn't yet. I plan to make her my wife but I'm not sure how I'm going to ask her just yet.

But I know one thing, I'm hungry so maybe I should go to breakfast and see if Alaina is up yet. As I walk into the dining hall, I see Kenzie with her back facing me while she looks out the window. Perfect I can scare her, which is very easy to do, I creep up behind her slowly, making sure I don't make a sound, I get close enough to her and I make a low growl. It makes her jump and I chuckle.

"Why do you do that Ash."

"Because it's funny to watch you squeal and jump, why were you at the window anyway?"

"I was watching Alaina, she's in the garden and looks really happy."

I try so hard not to smile but it's hard not too when I love her so much, I had the garden filled with her favorite flowers so she would be at home.

"Well, I'm glad she does, I want her to feel at home here and I would love it if you could help her feel welcome."

"Of course I can't worry about that brother."

For some reason I don't believe my sister about making Alaina feel welcome, but I better let that slide. I look over at the food but for some reason I'm just not hungry.

"Cook made a great breakfast this morning if you're hungry Ash."

"Thank you but I'm not very hungry, I'm really worried about Alaina and trying to keep her and you safe."

I tend to go overboard about keeping everyone safe and Kenzie knows that but with everything going on with Alaina's dad I really don't want to take chances.

"Yes, I am aware of that, but try not to keep her in a prison."

I should be offended but for some reason I'm not, nothing is phasing me right now and honestly, I think it's because of Alaina, she makes me a better person and I have learned to control my temper.

"You better watch it, or I'll be making sure you don't have any fun today."

She better know that I'm playing because I am and I would never hurt her or cause harm to her, she's my sister and I love her with all my whole heart.

"But surely you won't take the fun away from your favorite girl."

Well, she used to be my favorite girl, Alaina has taken over that spot, but I won't let her know that just yet. She can keep thinking about who she is for the rest of her life. I will always be here for my sister in every shape and way.

"Well maybe I will and maybe I won't, and just to be clear little sister I'm starting to have a new favorite girl."

Wow my comebacks seem to be getting a lot better and that is very surprising, I wonder if that is because of Alaina and how she brings the best out of me.

"Fine I see how it is, well you better go see her then. She's sunbathing."

I smile and stand up and hug my sister before I turn around and head out to the garden, before I do I take off my shirt and coat so I can get some sun. I walk up to Alaina and start to smile as I see how beautiful she looks with the sun hitting her in just the right way, I keep walking and hit a tree branch that gets caught on my pant leg, I try to break free but it causes me trip over it and I start to yelp as I catch myself from hitting the ground.
