Roman's POV

"Oh my god!"

I hear Ken shout as he comes in the bathroom. I shakily look at the door and he says bad words as he comes to me. I want to tell him not to come near me because I am naked but I can't talk. He won't even hear me if I dare to talk right now. He wraps me in a towel and carries me out of the bathroom. He puts me on the bed and starts drying my body.

I'm still shaking and shivering, feeling colder. He dresses me in his T-shirt and lies me on the bed. Suddenly, I feel myself being covered by lots of blankets with just my head peeking out. I look at my mate and feel bad for making him worry.

My mate paces while waiting and almost half an hour passes by and I’m still shaking and shivering. Ken notices this as well and he starts removing his clothes. I close my eyes not wanting to see my mate getting naked.

"Ke-ken," I start saying but he shushes me.

I stay quiet as the blanket on me as well as the T-shirt is removed. I feel Ken lying down on the right side of the bed. He pulls me in his arms and brings the blanket over us. My back press against his bare chest and our legs twine against each other. His warmth starts spreading through me and I sigh and push myself into him forgetting the fact that we were both naked.

I can't believe all this happened today and it's not yet mid-day.

I woke up today with a smile remembering about yesterday’s event. I was happy I was 17 which mean we were down to just a year before me and Ken mate. I got up and that's when I saw that I wasn't in my room. I looked around and saw my mate almost falling off the bed. I giggled getting off the bed and pushed my mate on the bed to prevent him from falling. He groaned but lucky for me he didn't wake up.

I walked around the room and opened the closet. I got out Ken's shirt and put it on. There was no need for anything else since the shirt was long enough to cover any nakedness. I knew I was in Ken's room by the scent of his everywhere plus the clothes in the closet.

It was time to explore my surrounding.

I left my sleeping mate's room and walked down the corridor. I found stairs and looked around if there was an elevator nearby. When I couldn't find it, I braced myself readying to take the stairs down. I progressed slowly with one step at a time until I reached the bottom. I giggled to myself feeling proud of the accomplished stair challenge.

I explored around aimlessly until I found the kitchen. There was no one here to my luck and I thought of what to do.

(Flashback)

"Why cook early?" I asked Mama C as I found him in the kitchen. That day we weren't going to school and there was no need for early breakfast. I was up early because of a bad dream.

"Good morning to you too baby Roma. I'm preparing breakfast for Dray." He said and I looked at him curiously. Why was he preparing Papa’s breakfast so early, unless maybe he was going away for business?

"Stop thinking so much about it. I want to surprise him with breakfast in bed because he did a good job yesterday." Mama C said as he arranged what he cooked on a tray.

"What good job?" I asked again.

"Let's just say it was a good job that wore me out until I passed out. It needs a lot of energy and stamina to wear me out so I'm grateful and have prepared this for him." He smiled at me with a wink.

I smiled at the memory and an idea got to me. I had to show how grateful I was for yesterday by preparing breakfast and serve it in bed for him. I knew how to prepare many foods and I chose biscuits as the best for Ken. I went around the kitchen and looked for ingredients. I scanned the kitchen for things I needed and I smiled as I saw the cupboards were named indicating things inside them.

While I was getting flour, the bag fell and poured on me. I didn't mind it as I went on with my baking. I successfully baked with a few burns here and there but it would heal in time. They smelled nice and I got a tray where I put them on with apple juice.

I made it pass the stairs with a bit crawling when I had to. I placed the tray down and opened the door to Ken's room. I smiled when I saw him still sleeping. I carried the tray inside and got on the bed. I started musing on what could be a good way of waking him up.

"Ken!" I shouted while shaking him. I wasn't being rude by pushing him off the bed or something. He stirred and opened his eyes. He looked at me for a bit and I could see the confusion in his eyes.

"Morning, my Ken."

"Wha-what happened to you?" He asked and I frowned, nothing happened to me. I brushed it off and brought the tray closer to him.

"Me baked breakfast." I smiled and took a biscuit to his open mouth. He slapped my hand away from him as he got up. Startled, I looked at him then the denied biscuit in my hand.

"You no like bisc?" I asked and he shook his head. Then why did he refuse eating it?

"I like biscuits." He said and took it from me, eating it. I smiled and moved to take another one when he stopped me.

"You are covered in flour and things I'm not sure of. How about you take a bath first then we will have breakfast together." He suggested and I nodded.

"Bath alone?" I asked and he told me I had to do it alone.

I wanted to argue since Mama C said I shouldn't take a bath alone but I shrugged and entered the bathroom. I couldn't ask him to join me because Mama C said I should not be naked in front of Ken until I turn 18. So I was now a big boy who bathed alone.

It began well as I located all the needed stuffs for bathing. However, while I soaped my body, I accidentally touched my eye with a soapy hand. I hissed at the sting in my eye and closed them shut. I blindly searched for a switch to open the water and when I did, I turned it on. I gasped as cold water fell on me.

I quickly rinsed off the soap in my hair and the sting in my eye. I opened my eyes and tried to turn the water off but I couldn't. After a few more tries I managed closing it but I was shivering with goose bumps spread across my skin. And that was when my hero came and saved me.

I lie in his warm arms and slowly I begin getting warm and warmer until I fall asleep.

***

I wake up in bed alone, dressed in boxers and my T-shirt. I yawn and get off the bed. I find the tray nowhere in sight and I conclude that Ken must have had his breakfast then took it to the kitchen. I leave his room to search for him in the kitchen. I stop by the doorway since unlike earlier, there are now people running up and down in the kitchen as they cooked. I stand on my tip toes as I try to look past them while looking for my mate.

"What are you doing here?" I jump in fright and a scream escapes me. I turn around and see Ken's friend standing in the kitchen doorway. When I look back in the kitchen, the people in there are all looking my way and I start fidgeting.

"I look for my Ken." I say to Ron and he starts laughing making me frown. Did I say something funny?

"You are looking for Alpha Kenneth in a kitchen?" He asks and continues laughing.

"Why not?"

"That is because he doesn't come in here. He's a king and the kitchen is where you don't look for him." He says with a smile. "Let's go, I will take you to him."

I follow Dean and he escorts me to Ken's office. He knocks on the door and gesture me inside. I find Ken on the phone and take a sit on a chair opposite him with a large desk between us.

"Yes, thank you. I will update you in a few days unless something comes up before then...yes...bye." He puts his phone on the desk and smile at me and I return the action.

"Who's that?" I ask.

"That was a friend of mine, Zach. He's a human though." He replies and I nod. My Ken has a human friend like Brother Charles. I don't have one and I don't want one because humans are weird creatures.

"Where you mother and daddy, I greet them not?" I ask when I see a picture of him and what I'm sure are his parents in the office. I haven't met his parents since he only came alone to see me when I lived at CJ's.

"You will meet my mother tomorrow because he's not home now. But you can meet my father today," he stands up and I do so smiling, as I think he's taking me to meet his father. "After we have lunch, you missed breakfast." I whine at that and he laughs picking me up in his arms. I circle my arms around his neck as he walks us to the dining room.

He pulls a chair for me and deposits me on it. He sits next to me as lunch starts being served by the people around us. I fidget at having the strangers with us and Ken notices. He dismisses them when they finish and we start eating our food. Once we are done, he carries me again out of the room as the people come back to clear the table.

This time he walks a long distance to away from the house. I ask him about different things that I see on our way and he explains it to me. I watch as children play and I wish I was there with them but I erase that wish. I am going to see my mate's father and that mean a lot than playing. A house comes in view and we slowly approach it. A man standing beside the door bows and opens it for us. Ken walks in and a maid escorts us to a room then leaves right after opening the door and close it behind us.

Ken puts me down and I look at the bed where a man is. My mate helps to sit him up and I take a good look at him. He looks just like Ken but a bit older. He smiles at me and stretch his hand for me to shake. I move forward and give him a hand shake. The moment our hands come in contact, I wince at the pain. Ken's father is in pain and I can feel it as my own upon our hands contact. He releases my hand and I sigh silently in relief.

"I have heard a lot from Kenneth about you. I'm sorry I wasn't there to welcome you this morning." He says in a small voice that I barely hear.

"It's okay." I say with a smile and turn toward the TV in the room. It has some boring show on it and I am sure Ken's father doesn't like it. I look for a remote and change the channel. I find one of my favorite cartoons and stop there.

"This good." I say with a nod and Ken chuckles as his father smile at me. I guess they all love it. I sit on the bed beside his father and I tell him all I know about myself. He listens to me talk and he comments now and then.

We spend the day in his room and even have dinner there. I bid him goodbye when it's time for us to go back to the house. I get in the car which Dean brought for us and Ken drives us home. He holds my hand as we go up the stairs to our room.

Ken disappears in the bathroom and I change into my pajamas then lay in bed. He joins me and hugs me to him as we both go to sleep. I sigh happily as I thought of how heavenly my first day here was. Though the day started off in a disaster, I still had the best first day with my Ken.
