My Female Alpha

Chapter 13- Good Things

(Quinton's POV)

As I drove Kenzie home, I felt 100 times better now that Kenzie knew. I had realized that I had complete faith in the Moon Goddess and I really felt like she had given me my perfect match. I had never been on the Thunder Run property and was surprised by how big it was. 

As we drove up, Kenzie pointed out different things she had planned to do or things in the works and I listened intently,  thinking about all the things that I was learning about my little mate. 

She had put in wind turbines and solar panels on all rooftops and the entire place was running on reusable energy. They also were supplying energy for the town, which I didn't know about but was an awesome way to make money. 

I liked that her choices reflected a mixture of both good business decisions and a reflection of our values. 

 As werewolves, our relationship with nature was strong and I could sense her passion in helping to do her part in preserving the environment. I felt like if she accepted us being mates, she would help improve my pack too. 

I drove past the pack houses to the impressive large estate on the property. It was beautiful and absolutely humongous, "Who else lives with you?" I asked looking up in awe. When she replied with a "just me" and a smile, I was both surprised and sad for her. I couldn't help but feel like my mate must be incredibly lonely. 

I was so lucky that I had my family around all the time and although sometimes... most times,  they drove me crazy, I was never alone. I don't know what I would do without them. I knew from spending this small amount of time with her that she would fit right in with us and I hoped that it would ease some of the loneliness that I'm sure she had to feel. 

I could sense the eyes on us and because I knew we were being watched I was cautious in our interaction as we said goodbye. 

I wanted to respect that she obviously wasn't ready to tell her pack that we were mates, so I stroked her hand but didn't reach out for a kiss or go let her out of the car. "It's killing me to not show you and everyone else how I feel but I know you're not ready yet. But, you better get out now quick before I lose my inner battle." 

She laughed and hopped out of the jeep, she looked back and said softly, “thank you for a wonderful day Quinton.” Then she gave me one last wave and took off running into her house. 

As I drove out I stopped and stared at where the Thunder Run land met my own and started thinking that maybe us being mates didn't have to be that difficult at all, we were already allies. Would it be so far fetched for us to be something more?

Why did it have to be a problem? What if it actually was for the better of both packs? I drove home with my mind spinning. My head full of questions but feeling lighter and happier than I had in a long time. 

I had a feeling it was all good things coming our way. 

(Izzy's POV)

I was sitting in Kenzie's office when she came in and I raised my eyebrows at her and said, "where exactly have you been young lady?" She blushed and so I decided to push a little more, cause what are friends for? Obviously Ty had already filled me in on who she was with and the fact that she had been missing since Quinton had approached her at lunch. 

She continued to say nothing but her blush was deepening, so I pushed some more,” I noticed that Ty came back all on his own". 

Kenzie rolled her eyes at my nosiness and swore, then she spit out everything all at once, "I was out with Quinton, he took me out for the afternoon and we're mates and it's amazing but I have no idea what that means and..." 

I raised my hands up to stop her bullet like delivery. I don’t know what I was expecting but it wasn’t this. I could tell how flustered she was and that she needed to slow down. Plus I didn't know if I could take in any more information. 

She stood there looking at me quietly and was obviously nervous for my reaction and I felt kind of bad for pressing her. Truthfully I didn't have any answers, but I also didn't see a reason to rain down on her moment right now.

Instead I asked, "Are you happy?" Her smile lit up the room and she whispered. "So happy". Her eyes looked so concerned, it was like she was scared it was about to be ripped away from her and my heart broke a little at all the loss she had endured. 

I didn't have the heart to say anything negative, so I walked over to give her a hug and said, "we'll figure it out, don't stress!” Then hoping a change of subject would help I said, “now, let me show you the changes that took place today to the schedule we made last night."
