Kenzie ~Book one in the North Pack series~

~Chapter six~

I spent the rest of my first day in my new home getting tweezed, waxed, buffed and polished. I felt like a new car getting ready for the showroom floor. When she was finally done embarrassing me and causing me unnecessary pain she turned me around to face the full length mirror. I stood there in shock, this couldn't possibly be me. My hair was shiny and perfect, my face looked like a dolls with the makeup on it. I ran my hands down the half sweater she had put me in, looking at my pale smooth belly. Tight jeans hugging my hips and bottom just perfect. "Wow..."

"Yeah its you. looking like an actual person." She mumbled clicking away on that thing again. "What is that...?" I asked quietly turning looking back at her. She just looked at me confused holding it up. "My cell phone?" Rolling her eyes going into a full explanation, sounding totally annoyed the whole time. Boy was this going to be a fun time at this place.

Sitting in my room alone, watching rain starting to patter against the glass. I don't know how I thought this was going to be easy. Sharing a house with my soon to be wife and my lover of the past ten years. Looking back hearing knocking on my door as it opens before I can answer, knowing only one person would come in without a response. "Hey beautiful.."holding my hand out as Star walks in quietly, closing the door behind her softly. "Dinner is almost ready.. I made your favorite." She smiled taking my hand giggling as I pulled her down onto my lap, letting her straddle my thighs, her hands resting on bare shoulders. "I know I could smell my mothers goulash from up here." Smiling leaning my head back looking up at her, sighing closing my eyes as she rested her forehead against mine gently, rubbing her delicate little nose against mine. "I know it cheers you up when your down so I thought it might help with all this now..." She whispered brushing her lips against mine, her wicked little tongue flicking out against my lips to request entrance. Smirking kissing her hard, letting her have her way as usual. Her tongue slipping easily into my mouth, rubbing against my own. Pulling back slowly smiling kissing her soft, wet lips again. "We should head down... then maybe we can have some dessert up here after." I told her, running the back of my rough hand down her soft, tan cheek as she nodded leaning into it. "Come. Lets go take a look at all the hard work you did on this girl." Smacking her ass firmly as she climbs off me, getting up after her sighing following her out.

I walked into my large dining room where my family was sitting waiting for me, stopping as everyone stood up, all except our newest member. Star stomped over to her, yanking her up by one arm roughly, turning her around to face me. "This is your Alpha, girl. When he comes into a room you should show respect to him and at least have the decency to stand. He will not always expect you to, but at dinner with our family you will. You're not Lupa yet and you need to learn your place." Her voice commanding a surprising amount of authority. I looked this girl up and down once more, seeing the work Star put into her, giving a slight nod as I took my seat at the head of the table. I watched this shy little creature lower her head and just look at her plate. "Kenzie." I said her name quietly, watching her head lift quickly and look at me at the mention of her name. "You look nice." Clearing my throat not sure what to even say to her after our less then ideal meeting. "Th.. thank you.." her voice squeaking out timidly, watching her almost jump out of her skin as Star set a plate in front of her. Smiling watching her serve the pack before taking her own seat. "Everyone join hands." Trying not to laugh watching Kenzie drop her forkful before taking a bite and reach for the hand next to her, seeing her hesitation as she laid her small hand in mine. Closing my large fingers around her pale, delicate ones. "Dear Goddess, we thank you for another day on this earth, as a family, as a pack. Thank you for the food in our bellies and the flourishing of our growing pack. Blessed be." Looking at Kenzie before letting her hand go. "Everyone dig in."

I couldn't ignore the look of unpleasantness on this girls face anymore, dinner was supposed to be pleasant and relaxing. As she poked at another piece of sauce covered pasta I set my fork down, lacing my fingers together watching her. "There something wrong with the food Kenzie? You certainly don't seem to be enjoying it like the rest of us." She looked up quickly as I addressed her. "It.. I just don't like it..." She paused after her statement, looking around as everyone froze to stare at her. "You don't like it then don't eat it. I'm sure my mother would be pleased to know her future daughter in law detests her recipe." Picking my fork back up taking another bite. "You can excuse yourself if your done, you know where your room is." Not looking at her as she got up and scurried from the room like a little mouse. Dropping my fork again sighing rubbing my face.
