Elizabeth did not want to be at Alex's pack any longer than necessary. Getting Jared to wrap up the business inside the pack, they headed for her father's pack.
"Well, I can not shift now," Elizabeth said to Jared. "It is not safe for the pups."
"Yeah, I had not thought of that," Jared said scratching his head.
Elizabeth put up the divider. Jared grinned at her. "Don't even get any more thoughts." She said laughing. Grabbing some clothes from her bag, She began to change.
"What are you doing?"
"Putting on a bra and panties for starters."
He raised an eyebrow at her. "And if I don't want you to?"
Laughing, "This dress is filthy and you know it. I am putting on Jeans and a shirt."
He pretends to be heartbroken. She leans over and kisses him once she is dressed. "I love you."
"You are forgiven." He teases.
"Jared, I am not looking forward to being back there. It holds all those memories."
"I know," he says pulling her closer, hugging her. His chin rests on top of her head as he holds her close, her face buried into his chest. "I will be beside you the entire time. We will leave right after."
"Ok," she says nodding her head.
Soon the driver announces they are almost there. Elizabeth attempts to prepare herself for what is about to happen.
Once they arrive, Jared quickly exits his side and runs to Elizabeth's side to open the door for her. He takes her hand and helps her out. The pack is already gathered. Immediately her friends rush to hug her.
"Elizabeth, Thank God you are alright." she is quickly swallowed into a hug by Tim. Her guards surround them ready to rip him apart. Hearing them growl, Elizabeth laughed and put her hand into the air.
"He means no harm, back off." She tells the guards who quickly step back.
Laughing nervously he backs off a little. "I did something wrong didn't I?"
"Yeah, you touched my mate," Jared said stepping to him threateningly.
"Mate?" Tim said coughing.
"He is my mate now," Elizabeth said grinning at Tim "And he is teasing you." She said grinning at Tim. "I have missed you."
Tina quickly approaches her and hugs her. "I have missed you so much, please stay."
"I will be back more often, not sure how long I can stay today though. Still hard."
"Right, I am sorry. I wasn't thinking."
"You are welcome anytime at the main house."
Many people are watching them. John's voice is heard through the crowd. "No one needs an introduction, your rightful Alpha has claimed her pack. Please welcome Alpha Elizabeth and her mate Alpha Jared." He announces.
"I appreciate you all taking time out of your day. I found out just a short time ago that I am pregnant so I will not be shifting. While at the Alpha conference, I experienced my first shift. I have discovered that I have fulfilled a prophecy. My wolf is Goddess, as in the First Moon Goddess, I have her wolf."
"The descendant of the first wolf, the royal heir." An older man whispers, The pack elders immediately get on their Knees as the rest of the pack followed suit.
"John will remain in his Beta title, he will answer to Jared." he looked at Elizabeth in shock. "I appreciate you all being here for my arrival, we are having a large pack gathering, you are all welcome. I encourage you to come as we are having all our packs, the six I have obtained and the two Jared has. Meaning the two largest in the US plus additionals. The chance of meeting your mate, extremely high." she said smiling. Many in the pack howled in delight. "You are all dismissed, I look forward to seeing you all."
Jared and Elizabeth both turned to enter the pack-house, headed for her office. John followed.
"Elizabeth are you sure?" John asked hesitantly.
"Sure about what?"
"You are leaving me as Beta?"
"Step out of line once and I will kill you myself," Elizabeth answered.
He nodded in understanding.
"I don't trust you after what you did to me. You will answer to Jared, he is your contact person."
"Understood, Alpha," he said bowing.
After reviewing the Pack business, Elizabeth looked at Jared.
"Come on," he said taking her hand. He walked with her to her floor and into her room. "Anything you want to take with us?" He asked.
She looked around for a few minutes. Picking up a picture of her parents with her and clutching it to her chest. Then she walked over to her jewelry box, picking it up. "For now, just these." Nodding her took the box and put it under his arm. Taking her hand they walked out. "My father made me that box," she said
"He did?"
"Yeah, my last birthday before he was killed."
"It really is beautiful work."
"Yeah. Jared?"
"Yes, Elizabeth?"
"Feed Me."
Laughing, "Ok"
Getting inside the car he told the driver where to take them.
"You brought me here before the winter formal," she said as they pulled up.
"You remember?" he said grinning.
"Yeah, it was the first time you kissed me," she said thinking back.
"On the forehead, I was afraid your father would kill me," he said laughing.
"Yes, you were. And Yes, he would have," she said laughing. "I miss him so much."
Entering, the staff began running around. "Alpha, we did not know you were coming." The owner looked panicked "I will get a table ready right away."
"Please, nothing special is needed, we are just having lunch."
"Of course." He said bowing, "Right this way. Anything you want is on the house."
"No, we will pay like everyone else." She told him "I appreciate your kind gesture. I am pregnant, please inform the chef and tell him whatever he recommends for a nursing mother."
"Of course Alpha, congratulations."
Looking at Jared, "I will take whatever the chef recommends."
"Right away."
A meal is quickly delivered by the owner, a huge smile on his face. "Please enjoy"
"Thank you so much," Elizabeth says moaning at the first bite. "This is wonderful." The owner grins ear to ear and leaves the table.
"This is amazing," Jared says in agreement.
The more Elizabeth eats the more she moans in delight.
"You are giving me a complex," Jared whispers. She looks at him confused. "I don't even make you moan that much." She full-on laughed.
"Pervert."
"Your Pervert." He said grinning ear to ear.
"That you are," she said the smile still on her face. "Mine and no one else's."
"I know you are newly pregnant, but I can't wait." He says grinning. "We can start looking at names."
"Yes, we can."
Soon dessert is also delivered to the table. Looking at the owner confused,
"Chef said, no pregnant woman can leave without dessert. It is a travesty or something."
Elizabeth laughed. "That it is. Please thank him for me."
"Absolutely"
A few minutes later, Jacob was standing in the doorway of the kitchen. Seeing him, Elizabeth got out of her chair and ran to the door hugging him.
"I missed you so much." He whispered into her hair.
"I missed you more. I did not know what happened to you."
"I was gone for school, I heard what happened and you were gone. I stayed here hoping you would return."
Jared walked up behind Elizabeth, once she finally let Jacob go, he hugged him as well. "Jacob I missed you, man."
"Wait a minute, pregnant, you are pregnant and you two are together. You two are mates?" Jacob said surprised.
"We are now." Elizabeth smiled. "We have married a few days ago."
"Didn't waste any time huh?" He said smiling at Jared. "Way to go."
"How about you?" she asked.
"Still looking, he is out there somewhere."
"You will find him, I am sure of it. We are having a get together to help people find mates. Maybe he will be there."
"I hope so. Wouldn't miss it. Thank you for doing that. Sometimes we all need help finding each other."
