=============================
Kenzie's P.O.V.
"Thanks Pat" I said as Patrick stood up from under my sink "This kitchen was way out of shape and I'm not really handy with stuff like this"
"Yeah" Patrick chuckled, nodding to the cabinet I tried to fix before he came to my rescue "I've noticed"
I laughed, rolling my eyes "Yeah yeah" I turned and walked into the living room "This place is finally done. I just need to add a few things to make it more, homely and comfortable." I turned back to Patrick with a grin "And I don't need to use your kitchen anymore"
"I'm beginning to regret fixing the kitchen for you" he frowned "I haven't had a good meal like the ones you've been making for me in a while"
"Don't worry Pat" I said "We'll have dinner at my place or yours. You really think I'm gonna let you live off the junk food you've been eating?"
"And that's why we're friends Kenz" Patrick said with a wink and I looked at him with mock outrage
"And I thought it was for my great sense of humor and model looks" I said and he chuckled. I heard the phone ring and went to answer it as soon as I picked up the phone sobs greeted me
"He cheated on me" The familiar voice of my sister came from the other end "Eric cheated on me"
"WHAT?!" I screamed in shock. "How did you know?"
"I was at the mall to get something nice for our date" She sobbed "And I saw him eating some slut's face off with his hand under her shirt in the back of the store"
I was speechless or a moment. My sister was gorgeous and I doubted there was any girl in our town more beautiful than her. How could he cheat on her
"Calm down Grace" I said shaking my head angrily at Patrick who mouthed 'what's wrong' "Did you confront him?"
"Yes" She cried harder "He got so mad. He accused me of following him, of spying on him. But I swear I wasn't Kenzie, I wasn't."
"I believe you honey I know" I said, my heart breaking for my innocent little sister "He's a jerk and he doesn't deserve you okay? He said that to make ?you ?feel guilty"
"Dad said it's normal" Grace continued to sob "He said every guy gets scared when he's in his first serious relationship and they all make mistakes"
"Dad's been cheating our whole lives" I said through clenched teeth "Don't believe him Gracie."
"B-but Kenzie I love him" She started crying "I don't want us to split up"
"I know honey I know" I said "But you're still young believe me you'll find someone better okay?"
"I-I got to go" She said "Mom just got back and wants to talk to me"
"Look Grace you'll find someone better okay?" I said desperately, scared of what my mom was going to tell her.
"Yeah sure" Grace said and then hung up. I sighed and sat on the chair, put my elbows on the table and my head in my hands.
"You alright?" Pat's voice disrupted my thought, I had forgotten he was there.
"Yeah i'm just worried about her" I said "She's too influenced by my parents' opinions"
"it's her life Kenz" Patrick said "You can't keep trying to solve everyone's problems, you've got your own"
"I don't try to-" I started to say but shut up from the look he gave me "Whatever"
"How about I relieve you of some stress eh?" He winked at me and I laughed
"Patrick you know me too well"
Chase's P.O.V.
I stood behind her door, my hands clenched as I used my hearing to hear what's going on inside.
"Harder Patrick" I heard Kenzie moan "More to the left, yes that's it" I felt my eyes darken as I tried to control my wolf. The sounds made it clear what she was doing with that guy and it raged us both to no ends.
"God Patrick you're amazing" he said again and that was the final straw. I busted the door open ready to kick the guy's ass but was surprised when I saw two clothed bodies. Kenzie was sitting on a chair with a guy behind her, his hands on her shoulders. I guess my assumptions weren't so accurate.
"Chase?" Kenzie asked looking confused "Why are you here? I don't have to go to work for at least three hours"
"I know" I said still glaring at the guy's hands on her shoulder "Just thought I'd stop by" Kenzie noticed my glare at the guy
"Oh Patrick this is Chase Morgan, he lives at the house I work in. Chase this is Patrick my best friend" she said and I nodded at him while he looked at me suspiciously, neither one of us making a move. "Okay" Kenzie added awkwardly "What did you want Chase?"
I snapped my gaze from Patrick to Kenzie and my expression immediately softened, she looked tired. "I thought we'd go to lunch we have a lot of" I glanced at Patrick for a second "Things to talk about"
Kenzie stiffened "No we don't" she said "I'm sorry Chase I'm already having lunch with patrick so..."
"Oh he can join us" Patrick said, his eyes never leaving me "I'd love to know who you're working for Kenz and you know you always cook more so I can have a midnight snack" I glared at the guy, he obviously had something planned and I wasn't about to cower in front of him.
"I-I'm sure Chase can't he..."
"No actually that sounds like a good idea" I said "I'd love to join you" I looked at Kenzie with a soft smile "If you don't mind of course"
Kenzie looked hesitant but smiled "Okay" she said "Come on let's head to Patrick's apartment"
"why patrick's apartment?" I asked trying to keep the annoyance out of my voice but i was sure Patrick noticed since he smirked
"We've been eating there for a few days, Kenzie's kitchen wasn't in the best shape" he winked at Kenzie "Just fixed it up for her"
"Right" Kenzie said looking uncomfortable "He fixed up my place for me" she smiled gratefully at Patrick and I couldn't help the jealousy rising within me.
We went to his apartment and Kenzie immediately started cooking. The way she moved so comfortably in the kitchen made her look like she belonged there and I couldn't help but smile.
I knew she felt me watching her. Her stance was stiff and her movements were calculated
"So Chase" Patrick said "How old are you?"
"Eighteen" I said "Just graduated a few months ago, same as Kenzie over there" just as her name came out of my lips I heard her hiss a breath vegetables
"Damn it" She said putting the knife she was using to chop the vegetables and put her finger under the sink water. I was beside her in a second.
"You okay?" I said grabbing her hand gently, I looked at the finger that had a small cut on the side and gently brought it to my lips ignoring the sweet taste of her blood, the same blood that I would taste once I mark her. The image brought my wolf howling but I reigned him in.
Suddenly Kenzie snatched her finger away "I'm fine" she said in a hoarse voice. I saw her eyes and the desire she tried to hide "I'll be right back" she rushed to another room
"What's going on between you two?" Patrick's voice came from behind me and I turned to him "I'm sure you aren't together so what's the deal"
"No we're not together" I said looking at the towards the door Kenzie had closed behind her "Not yet" the words came out without conscious or thought but I knew they were true, I wasn't going to let her get away from me again
"Better give up now pal" Patrick said and I could hear a protective edge in his voice "Kenzie is off limits"
"Why?" I asked, trying to sound casual "Is she...involved with someone?" the thought of it sent me and my wolf crazy but I kept my face neutral.
"You might as well go jump off the roof of that huge mansion you live in Morgan if you think I'm gonna tell you that. That girl's private life is her own and I'd be no friend of hers if I acted otherwise"
"Then tell me why she left home" I said knowing she wouldn't leave home, wouldn't leave her baby brother.
Patrick's eyes narrowed "How did you know that?"
"I know a lot more about Kenzie than you think. So tell me why'd she leave Gabriel? She wouldn't think about leaving her little brother unless it was something big"
Patrick's face hardened "Do your own spying Morgan"
"Maybe I already have"
"Then you didn't find what you wanted. If you had you wouldn't be wearing this dark scowl" His lips tugged into a smirk as though he was amused by the idea
"You seem to know her well" I said trying to hide the jealousy in my tone but failing.
Patrick grinned "well enough, and the thought of that is eating you up isn't it?"
"Why should it?" I asked again trying to sound nonchalant.
Ptatrick seemed to study my face "I don't know. But I do know this. First Kenzie starts getting back from the job at the place you live in looking dazed and shocked and the air positively crackles when you two are in the same room and then she cuts her finger while cutting the vegetables, something she's never done in all th years I've known her, she's pretty handy with that knife and never makes a mistake. So you tell me why."
"Who the hell appointed you as her guard dog?" I asked showing anger, I could feel my eyes darkening.
"I did, six years ago. Kenzie has a way of making people feel protective of her. She's not as tough as she seems."
"Care to elaborate"
"Not a chance in hell, in fact-" he stopped talking when Kenzie walked in the room
"how about we just order something to eat tonight okay?" she said and I wanted to walk over to her and hold her but I knew she'd just push me away. Patrick and I nodded and Kenzie picked up the phone and dialed a number to order. I needed to know more about her, why she came here. Why she left Gabriel and what made her not trust anyone. I needed to find out.
