The Stoic Owen
Kenny's Pov
Standing next to Owen after I just saw him completely naked was, well... umm... Very uncomfortable and warm if you know what I mean... A few nights ago I had the strangest dream...
The dream
I was sitting by the lake at night watching the moons reflection on the water. Everything seemed so tranquil and soothing, like there was no worries in the world. When a sudden light eluminated from the lake and became so bright I had to close my eyes for a minute. When I opened them again a beautiful woman stood in front of me, she was literally standing on the water and I had to blink a couple of times to make sure I was seeing right. She smiled at me softly and walked over to me now standing right in front of me. "My child, you seem really troubled" she whispered to me. Frowning I looked at her with confusion and awe. "Who are you?" I asked her trying not to freak out. She chuckled and sat down next to me taking my hand in hers, a warmth went thru me at her touch. "I am the moon goddess my child, and I know what is troubling you" she smiled at me. "Your afraid to let your mates get close to you, afraid to get hurt again" she squeezed my hand making me look at her with sadness on my face. "Yes I am, they already hurt me once" I replied. "They won't my child and they will prove it to you if you give them a chance" she sighed. "But there are so many of them, how will this work, won't they get jealous of each other?" I asked timidly. She chuckled again shaking her head. " No my sweet child they won't get jealous and it will work out in the end you will see, Kenny this is your destiny and you along with your mates will become legends in our world, don't keep them at arm's length any longer"
Her last words still ecoed around my head when I turned towards Owen finding his eyes already watching me. I cleared my throat "I will give this a try, you all gave me the space I needed to work thru my issues and for that I am great full" I spoke in a soft whisper. The ever stoic man next to let his guard down and the happiness I saw on his face made me realize I made the right decision. "Ca..an I please hug you" he asked stuttering a little. I almost laughed when I saw how nervous he was but I held it in. Nodding my head yes, I felt his strong arms go around me and cradled me against his strong chest making me hear his strong heart beat.
"There is only one condition I have for you Owen" I said with a small smile on my face. I could hear his heart skip a beat at me saying his name. "What is that Ms McKenzie?" he asked sounding almost scared. Standing on my tiptoes I whispered in his ear quietly " You need to stop being so formal with me and your brothers Owen if we are going to be a family, you need to act like it". He shivered with my breath caressing his ear and I was almost certain he groaned. I took a step back and smiled at him before walking back thru the forest to my cabin. Leaving Owen standing there with shock on his face, the stoic impretion gone......
