      Elizabeth stared ahead at the sausage she was currently making. She decided to start breakfast before her mother-in-law had any chance to. Cooking had this odd way of soothing her nerves so, she was quite the cook and baker. "Smells good." Lucas murmured, sleep still clinging to his voice as his arms wrapped around her waist. "Thank you." She replied, starting the second omelette. "You feel any better?" He asked, concern written all over him. She smiled meekly and nodded. "Yeah. As much as I can be, I guess." Elizabeth sprinkled a few spinach leaves into the cooking omelette and a few pinches of some seasonings. "We will never leave you," Lucas assured softly, turning her around to gaze into her eyes. Elizabeth stammered slightly, tears brimming in her eyes. "I promise you." His hands cupped her cheeks and he brought her into a passionate, reassuring kiss. "Okay." She whispered, resting her forehead on his. Lucas smiled and placed a hand on her stomach. "Another thing I can promise is that when you go into heat, one of us will always be close by." Elizabeth blushed and turned around to move the omelette to a plate.

      "What brought that up?" Lucas grinned a big toothy grin. "I can smell your heat." Elizabeth's whole body turned beet red at the thought. If Lucas could sense it, the whole pack could. "Oh god.." Lucas laughed and kissed her neck lightly. "Don't worry about the others, yeah?" Elizabeth sighed softly. "I'll try.." pounding of feet was heard as Victor grumbled down the stairs. "Damn food woke me up from a good dream." He pouted and Elizabeth giggled. "I guess you just won't eat then." Victor snarled and pulled her to his body. "It's okay. I'll just eat you." he purred. "Pervert." She teased, finishing the last few sausages. "Listen," she began as she set the table and placed plates down. "I know my heat is approaching," she poured the men orange juice and they grinned like children. "But, I have no idea how I'll act. My mom told me some females get vicious, others get incredibly docile."

       She poured herself coffee. "And I need to know if you two can handle it." The brothers stared at each other and then smirked. "We can handle anything you throw at us, mate." Victor purred before beginning to stuff his face. Elizabeth smiled lovingly at them. Her eyes drifted to her belly. She was eager to have their pups, to watch as her stomach grows with each month that passes. Her heart flutters with joy at the thought. "No others males in the house during, right..?" She asked suddenly. Lucas shook his head. "I don't trust unmated males to be around you when you are in heat. They might get ballsy." Both men growled. She giggled and sat beside both men. "We have some pack business to attend to later," Victor began. Lucas picked up where he left off. "We have arrangements with some of the local humans regarding our land and we have to settle some issues." Elizabeth nodded. "They help us with the hunter problem best they can. Plus, our payment to them is due next week." Elizabeth frowned.

      "Arrangements with humans?" Lucas nods. "Yes, the chief at the police station knows about us. He ensures his patrols stay away from our land save for when it comes to illegal hunting. Of course, some one that deals with this property and its security." Elizabeth nodded and took a bite of her omelette. "That is very smart, including some humans in our affairs." She murmured and glanced up, seeing her mates gazing at her. "What? Do I have food on my face?" She used the back of her hand to wipe her mouth. "No, we just love looking at you." Victor murmured, his voice low and thick with something she could not place. Elizabeth blushed yet again, looking down at her lap. She was used to compliments but hearing it from her mates made her feel like a small child getting told their drawings were absolutely amazing. She smiled and pursed her lip in thought. "I was actually wondering if I could head into town later and explore." she murmured softly. The men glanced at each other, their brows furrowed together. "Hey!" she smacked them behind the head gently. "Don't talk like that! I want to hear what you think." they glanced at her sheepishly before Victor spoke up. "I don't see a problem but may I ask why?" Elizabeth smiled and looked between them. "I don't want to be stuffed inside or stuffed in a confined area. You two refuse to allow me to run by myself and I want to get to see the town where those humans live." Lucas sighed and nodded. "Alright," he paused. "But, I want you to take someone with you." Elizabeth did a mixture of a growl and a groan, much like a child.

           "Lucas, I'm a grown adult, I can fend for myself." his brows furrowed and his eyes narrowed. "I said I want someone to go with you, Elizabeth and that is final." his voice was low and authoritative. She almost cowered and submitted. Almost. She snarled and stood up, slamming her hands on the table.  "No, damn it! You cannot command me like that, Lucas. I am your equal, not your fucking inferior! I do not need a fucking babysitter nor do I need protection, I am a wolf and I am an Alpha female!" her eyes were pitch black and her nostrils flared in anger. She was not one to take commands from an equal! Silence rang in the air save for Elizabeth's heavy breathing and the sound of her now elongated nails scratching at the table. Victor and Lucas stared wide-eyed at their mate, in complete and utter shock. "Very well." Lucas stated simply, once he recovered. Elizabeth stood straight and 'hmphed' before grabbing the dishes and began working on the large pile she made. She could feel their eyes on her and she smirked to herself. She normally wouldn't lash out like that but since her hormones were out of whack, she had more confidence and she absolutely loved it! Once she finished her dishes and cleaned up the kitchen, she scampered up the staircase. To finally be allowed into town was the most exciting thing she experienced as of late! She was quick to dress into a flowy summer and she scampered down stairs. "I really do-" Victor smack Lucas in the chest with a growl. "You look beautiful." Victor murmured and pulled Elizabeth into a hug.

              She smiled and kissed him. "I promise I will keep in contact, okay?" Victor nodded and kissed her cheek lightly. He released, lingering his hands on her hips a moment longer before dropping them by his sides. "Hey," Lucas grumbled and pulled her to his body, wrapping his arms around her body and burying his nose into her hair. "I'm sorry." He whispered and inhaled softly. Elizabeth smiled and kissed his chest. "I shouldn't be talking to you that way." Elizabeth looked up at Lucas smiled lovingly. "It's okay." She paused a moment and grinned. "Just remember who is boss, yeah?" She pecked his cheek, grabbed the keys and walked out of the house. She loved her men dearly, honestly. No matter what they did, she would always love them. She jumped into the car and sunk in the driver seat with glee. She was extremely excited, extremely shaky too. Once she drove off, she opened the windows and began to blast the radio, laughing. She loved feeling the wind in her hair and the freedom she got from driving by her self. But, the further she got from the pack, she could feel anxiety settle in. She was far, thankfully not too far but still. It hadn't been that long and yet, she was already attached to the feeling she got with being there. She hated that the feeling was so strong, ruing the moment for her but, it was something she'd have to deal with for being alone. 

              She pulled up to the mall, thanks to the GPS, and gleefully walked inside. There were surprisingly a lot of people there. Maybe the town was bigger than she originally thought...  As she walked, multiple scents invaded her nose and she shivered in delight. Different fabrics, food, everything! She thought a moment and walked around, mouth half open, and eyes scanning the store names. A few even said hiring so maybe, she could earn a little money for herself. She stopped and grinned widely once she saw the Victoria's Secret store. She definitely had to go in there for her men. Maybe they'd like her getting something.... "Hi, is there anything I can help you with today?" Elizabeth looked ahead and saw a blonde girl, a few years younger than her maybe, standing there with a large grin. "Um, yeah." Elizabeth looked around. " I just got ma-" She paused and smiled. "I just got married a few days ago and I want to surprise my husband." The girl smiled brightly and lead her back. 

            "Well, congratulations on your marriage!" Elizabeth thanked her looked around. "What exactly are you going for?" She asked. "Seductive or Sexy?" Elizabeth thought a moment. "Seductive. I think I like the aspect of that." The girl smiled and went to a rack, pulling out a few of the lingerie. "So?" Eizabeth fell in love with both. One was a black form-fitting mini night dress with a low cut and the other was white lace and hid all the good bits. "Both." She stated suddenly. The girl laughed and nodded. "Alright. Do you want to try them on?" Elizabeth nodded fervently. Elizabeth scrambled to the dressing room, excited. She felt like a child did when they woke up christmas morning. She couldn't wait to show her men tonight.
