2.

I walk out of the kitchen and out the front door with a smiling Aiden close

on my heels.

Aiden and I moved out of our parent's house when we both turned seventeen, and our own little house was finished being built.

Aiden and I have always had the dream of living together till we find our mates, so our parents decided to make it happen.

The only way Aiden and I could move out was if our house was close enough to their house that a human could walk there in under three minutes.

Wanting freedom, my brother and I quickly agreed. It is nice being so close to our family when we need them, but it is also a curse because they think they can waltz in whenever they want.

Seriously, you don't know how many times I'll wake up from a nap and hear my entire family in our living room.

The concept of space is something they can't seem to grasp. Don't get me wrong, I love them to death, but there are times when I need space.

Especially when it's a lunar eclipse. For some reason that is beyond my knowledge, Kayla becomes super hard to control.

No matter what I do she always forces a shift which sucks because unlike everyone else, I can't go on a pack run.

Instead, I have to be locked up in chains to keep from hurting anyone or run off and get lost somewhere.

Rouges would also be a problem because Kayla doesn't always pay the best attention, so we could easily be snuck up on if we weren't careful.

"Hello, my wonderful family!"

"Aiden! Aiden! Did you bring Heave with you? Did you? Well?!"

"How could she resist coming to see you Maddison? Besides, when I told her Mom was making waffles, she practically ran out the door!"

"Haha you two. It's not my fault Mom makes perfect waffles! Where is everyone else, Maddy?"

" McKenzie is in her room finishing a drawing she made, Anthony is helping Dad finish the whipped cream, Mom is also in the kitchen making waffles, and I'm here!"

"You sure know a lot for an eight-year-old Maddy. You're one of the smartest people I know! Maybe you should be Queen instead of me!"

"No way! I'm a princess. You will be Queen!"

"Okay you two enough royalty talk, it's waffle time!" As soon as the word waffle left Aiden's lips, McKenzie comes flying down the stairs and straight into the kitchen, not even acknowledging our presence.

The rest of us follow, hot on her heals, ready to devour the huge stack of fluffy deliciousness.

"There you guys are! We were starting to think Aiden forgot to tell you we were having breakfast as a family! How are my two babies?"

"We're great Mom!"

"And Starving!" With that being said, we all dive into our plates shoveling food down our throats, barely breathing in between bites.

When everyone is full, we all stay and sit, catching up and telling jokes.

How I wish things could always been this great and simple.

Me too girl. Me too.
