Restoring The Blue Eyed Wolf.

Chapter 81.

Bète Rick's POV.

My mate joined me late last night after she had gone to check on John. She told me everything they talked about and that she ended up tucking him into bed. I couldn't help but to smile at that.

She always knew just what to do to get John tired if he ever had trouble sleeping. She sat on the edge of the bed and looked troubled though.

" I don't know what we can do to help him Rick. He's suffering and keeping it to himself. " she said.

" The best we can do right now is offer help. It's up to him to take it. " I said.

She looked at me and I can see the unshed  tears building in her eyes. " He's my boy though. " she said quietly. Her voice breaking with emotion.

I sat up and pulled her into my arms. " I know honey. It's going to be hard for a while, but we won't let him sink too far into the depths of whatever he is dealing with. We will always be there to pull him back up. Everything will turn out ok in the end. I promise. " I said as I cradled her in my arms.

" You can't promise that. " she said softly.

" No, I can't. I can sure as heck try though. " I said.

She let out a small laugh. " Our kids are so strong but are going through some of the hardest trials. Harder than we ever had to face. " said Natalie.

" True. Amber's going to be just fine though. She's got Connor and practically an entire army on her side that care so much about her. John will be fine too. He just needs our full support. " I said.

" What if I stayed here for a few weeks until he gets better?" She asked.

I smiled. She always wants to be where her kids are. " I'd miss you, but I'd fully understand your reasonings. I would fully support your decision if you decide to stay for a while. " I said.

She smiled gratefully and with that I laid us both back onto the pillows and covered us up. I made sure she was fully asleep before I did anything else or fell asleep myself.

The next morning I woke to an empty bed. I got up and got dressed before finding her and John in the kitchen. He looked well rested but still a bit out of it.

He looked happy though and was talking up a storm with his mother. I walked in and joined them in their conversation. By lunch time I went to go find Alpha Grace and give her a plate of food for lunch. It was leftovers from the night before.

I knocked on her office door. " Come in. " she called.

I opened the door and smiled. " Hope I'm not interrupting anything too important, but I brought you some lunch. " I said.

She smiled. " Thank you. I was beginning to wonder what I would do for lunch. " She said grabbing the plate from me and setting it in front of her. She then started to eat.

I took a seat in one of the chairs in front of her desk and saw what she was working on. " Oh cool, you're coming up with a new training program for your guards. " I said.

She nodded. " The one we're using now is the same one we've had since I first started this pack. It's time we change it. John's been helping me with it for a while now. Any suggestions?" She asks.

I grinned. " Alpha George and I used to come up with the training programs together.  He was always softer on the men, not wanting to push them too hard and I could see his point. As for me, I like to test them real hard, at least at first to see who actually has to want to do their job and who would be better suited for a different position. " I said.

" John and I are like that as well. Only it's the opposite for us. " she said.

" John's always had a big heart for others. " I said.

" I've noticed that and to back up his suggestions he has come up with other training scenarios to test the guards with to see who would be a better strategist or who would be the quickest thinker in battle. He came up with these four suggestions right here. " she said sliding over four notes to me.

I took them and read over them. " He wants to do realistic battle strategies with the men instead of just training them and seeing their performances. Clever. " I said.

" That's what I thought. I was just going to measure their performances with a points system but I'm beginning to like John's ideas more and more. " she said.

" Combine the two. Keep it on a points system and do these ideas as well. You never know, you may have some really good people who want to protect you and this pack with all they have. " I said.

" They only need to be given that one shot. " she finished. I nodded.

She took the notes back when I handed them to her and slide over everything they've been working on so far. I spent a few minutes reading over everything and studying what they've done.

That's when I realize it. These are some of the plans John and I had been creating on our downtime. It wasn't anything we were going to actually use. It was just some brain teasers we could come up with just to train our brains more. I guess John really liked some of the ideas we came up with.

" These are some ideas that John and I came up with long ago when I was just beginning to teach him how to be Bète. " I said.

Her eyes widen and she smiles. " Really?"

I let out a small laugh. " Yeah, I never thought he liked the ideas that much but hey, I'm alright with it. " I said.

She gives a small laugh. " That's awesome. You guys really came up with some good stuff. " she said.

" Thanks. " we talked until she was done eating and then I took her plate and left her to her work.

Only she stopped me at the door. " Would you mind telling John to come see me. I have something I want to talk to him about. " said Alpha Grace.

I nod at her. " Sure thing. " I turn and walk back to the kitchen to follow the request asked of me.
