_Aaron's POV_ My beloved mate had proposed that I prepare dinner for both of us and I could not refuse because it was an opportunity for me to show her that I was committed to making things right between us. However, there was one tiny problem—I was absolutely terrible at cooking. My attempts at culinary feats usually ended in smoke, inedible concoctions, and a fair amount of chaos in the kitchen. But I was determined not to let that deter me. I had made a promise to prove my intentions were pure, and I wasn't about to back down. With a touch of determination, I set out to create a plan. I decided to take a step back from my usual Alpha responsibilities for the evening and focus solely on preparing a meal that would hopefully impress Pandora. I knew that actions spoke louder than words
