-------

The next morning I'm woken up from my deep slumber when I feel something wet hit my face.

What is hell? Is that slobber?

I swear if Mason slobbered on me in his sleep I'm going to kill him.

"Sissy, you and Mason need to get up and get dressed!" I hear Jamie yell.

I open my eyes and look over at Mason who is wide awake with a grin on his face. Then I look up at Jamie who is laughing his head off while jumping up and down on the bed with a cup of water in his hands.

No. He. Didn't.

"Jamie!!" I scream and he immediately stops jumping. His eyes light up with mischief before he jumps off the bed and runs out of the room as fast as he can.

"Ughhhh!" I groan in annoyance.

"It's okay kitten. It's just water." Mason says while trying to control his laughter.

"Shut up!" I say and punch his arm before getting up to take a shower.

"That actually kind of hurt baby. I'm proud. My girl's gotta nice punch." Mason praises.

"Yeah I do, so don't piss me off and force me to use it." I say and he laughs.

"Where are the towels?" I ask Mason when I can't locate any in the adjoining bathroom. He gets up from his comfortable position in bed and walks towards me only in his black boxers from last night.

Oh come on! Who has that nice of a body? Honestly it's not fair. It's not fair to me to have to look at and be tempted by and it's not fair to other guys.

Although, I really don't mind looking at and being tempted by his perfect body.

"Can't help but stare, can you babe?" He says proudly with that smug grin.

"I wasn't staring, I was...um I was...", I trail off.

"It's okay. I'm just as much yours as you are mine. Stare all you want." He smirks.

Can't I just smack that damn smirk off his handsome face already?

"Where are the towels?" I ask again.

"In the bottom cabinet. I already sent someone to buy you and Jamie new clothes and stuff so you'll have all you need here."

"Okay. Thanks bab-." I cut myself off from finishing that sentence and run into the bathroom.

I strip my clothes off and take a ten minute shower. I use the strawberry shampoo and conditioner that has been set out for me and rinse off.

It's only when I get out of the shower that I realize I don't have any clothes with me.

"Mason can you bring me those clothes you were talking about please!" I yell into the bedroom while hiding behind the bathroom door.

"Yes I can." He responds and opens the door less then a minute later with a bunch of clothes.

"You know I only need one outfit right?" I ask with a giggle.

"Yeah I know but I'm not sure what you wanted to wear today so I'm giving you options." He says thoughtfully.

"Oh okay. Thanks." I smile and he leaves the bathroom.

I end up picking out a nice green tank top with a brown sweater, skinny jeans, and I plan on wearing my boots. It's a nice yet causal outfit. Not too much and not too little. After all, I am probably meeting his mom today.

I have meet his family before, but this is the first time I will be meeting them as Mason's mate and I'm internally freaking out.

I step out of the bathroom and walk to grab my shoes when I feel arms wraps around my waist.

"Mason stop. I have to get my shoes on and finish getting ready. Let go." I whine.

"And?" He says into my neck.

"We have to meet your mom soon right?" I feel him nod from behind me. "Okay then let go."

"Fine." He pouts like a child but kisses my temple.

"Okay I think I'm ready." I say after putting on my shoes. I look around the room and finally take in its elegance.

The big bed in the room has a dark yet alluring comforter that felt like a cloud last night. The room has a walk in closet obviously for two people and its own sitting area with a nice big fire place.

It has two huge windows that overlook the woods outside and its own bathroom that I was just in.

"You good?" Mason asks which breaks me from my trance. I turn around and my mouth almost falls open at what I see.

Mason is wearing a tight black v-neck with dark blue jeans that hang off his hips is the most delicious way.

What am I saying?

Get it together Paisley.

"Oh yeah I'm fine." I answer his previous question.

He smiles before taking my hand in his and leading me out of the room.

We go down the stairs hand in hand and straight into the dining room.

"Paisley honey! I haven't seen you in forever." A woman shrieks and pulls me into a tight hug.

"Okay Mom. Don't break my mate." Mason says somewhat sarcastically before pulling me back to him.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I just haven't seen you since you were ten years old running around the playground with Mas." She says with tears in her eyes.

"Please don't cry." I say and hug her again.

"And now you're my little boy's mate! Who would have thought?" She laughs.

Yep. This is definitely Linda Riddle. She was always laughing or crying; very emotional but I wouldn't have her any other way.

"Lets get you some food. You must be starving after the day you had yesterday." Linda says thoughtfully.

And she's right. I was way too busy yesterday to even think about food and now I'm paying the price for it.

I just nod and smile while Mason takes my hand and leads me to the table.

He sits down to my left while Jamie appears and sits down to my right.

"Sorry about the water Sissy." He says with a sheepish smile.

I can't stay mad at him for long. He's too damn cute.

"It's okay Bubba. All is forgiven." I kiss his cheek and he giggles.

"Here ya go. Eat all you can." Linda brings out plates full of bacon, toast, sausage, eggs, liver mush, and grits.

I fill my plate just like everyone else and dig in.

"Wow Luna Linda! This is amazing!" I compliment and she smiles.

"Thank you sweetie but you will not call my Luna Linda. Call me Linda or Mom. You are family now." She says and smiles.

"Thanks...Linda?" It comes out more of a question than a statement.

Instead of answering, she just smiles and nods.

"Okay get on in there and sit down and eat Elle." A masculine yet playful voice carries throughout the dining room.

"Okay Uncle Kaiden." A sweet little voice replies.

"Epppp!!! Mason is that her? Your mate?" The little girl shrieks when she sees me causing Alpha Kaiden, Mason's dad, to look up and smile.

"Yeah Elle, this is Paisley. My mate." He answers with a content smile on his face.

"Yayyy!!!" She yells before running towards me and jumping in my lap. "Where have you been? Mason has been waiting on you for like a year missy!" She says sassily and I can't help but laugh at her cuteness.

"Oh. Has he now?" I look at Mason with a smirk and he playfully rolls his eyes.

"That's enough Elle. Quit embarrassing your cousin in front of his mate." Alpha Kaiden says but we can all tell he is trying to hold back his laughter.

"Hahaha Dad. Very funny. Now come here Elle!" Mason says and chases the little girl around the room.

"Stop it!!! Paisley control Mason please." She yells while laughing and running away.

Mason is so good with kids and it's nice to watch him play with them. In all honesty, it makes me wonder how he will play with our own children.

"Paisley dear, I haven't seen you in a while." Alpha Kaiden says and I get up to hug him. "It's so good to see you."

"It's good to see you to Alpha Kaiden." I say and he pulls me back by the shoulders to look at him.

"Oh you're too kind but no. There will be none of that. You will call me Kaiden. Like I'm sure my wife already said, you're family now."

"Okay. Thank you." I smile and sit back down beside Jamie.

"Hi! I'm Elle. What's your name?" The little girl asks Jamie.

We all turn our heads to watch them interact with each other.

"Jamie." He says while blushing. Aw! Jamie has a crush.

"Okay Jamie. How old are you?" She asks with a grin.

"I'm four. What about you?" He asks.

"I'm four too. Here come sit with me at the little kid table!" She says and drags Jamie away before he can protest.

The adults all laugh and Mason makes his way back over to me.

Once he sits down I realize something.

"Mason your cousins all live in North Carolina and are boys. Who is that little girl?" I ask.

"About two years ago there was a rogue attack on a pack close to us. We went to search for survivors and found Elle. We took her in and are currently raising her." He informs me.

"Oh. That poor baby girl." I know exactly how she feels.

My mom was attacked and killed by rouges a little while after Jamie was born.

"Yeah but she seems to be really happy here." He assures me and I smile.

"Okay, well I'm gonna take Paisley on a tour of the rest of the house." Mason stands up and takes my hand.

"It was nice catching up with y'all and I guess I'll see you later?"

"Of coarse you will sweetheart. We have some things to discuss." Linda says and hugs me.

"Okay let's go." Mason says and basically drags me out of the room and into the hall.
