Chapter 35

Confidence & Control

Lizzie POV

The next few days I am mute; I don't want to speak to anyone or air my worries and concerns..

I'm trying to gather my thoughts and deal with them myself without any interruptions.

Dean and Holden are off at work so I'm alone with my sons.

I'm at peace so I can talk to them and feel calm and relaxed.

I'm currently laying on the floor on my belly, trying to encourage Deacon to roll over.

Declan can already roll and is finally gaining the strength to sit up for short periods of time.

"Come on sweetie.. You can do it.." I encourage softly as I dangle my house keys to the right of him as he lays on his back.

With a cute look of determination, Deacon scrunches up his fists stubbornly and forces himself to roll onto his side and then over onto his back and snatches the keys from me.

"Well done you beautiful clever boy!" I praise, clapping my hands.

Deacon grins his toothless grin at me as he takes in my excitement, and rattles the keys around in the air.

My two clever boys.

I love them both unconditionally.

I'm stood in the kitchen making dinner for my mates with the boys in their high chairs munching on apple sticks; beef and ale pie with mash and veg, and a home made onion gravy.

Being wolves, Dean and Holden have big appetites and need real meals, so I always ensure I make proper home cooked meals unless I'm ill.

"I'm home!" Holden calls cheerily as he enters the house.

'Kitchen,' I mindlink.

I don't want to disturb the boys, and I haven't actually been verbal with anyone recently, I only mindlink to stop them worrying.

I feel Holden's arms snake around my waist as he hugs me from behind, "did you have a good day baby?"

I turn in his arms after turning the stove off, and decide to talk.. He deserves to know what's happened today.

"Deacon rolled today." I tell him with a bright smile.

The look on Holden's face is priceless; he beams like the world is complete!

"Really?" He exclaims.

I nod, "yup. Sat there with him for hours trying to encourage him. As soon as I used my keys as bait, he did it. Shiny things always attract that boy!"

Holden grins and kisses my cheek before rushing to his son, hoisting him out of the high chair and kissing him repeatedly, making him giggle.

I love how much Dean and Holden love their sons.

It brightens up my day when I see them showing their boys such love and affection.

"Later, when the boys are in bed, can we talk?" I ask, finally resolving to sort this drama out.

"Of course baby. You and I, or Dean as well?" He replies, looking my way as he holds his son.

"I think all of us, as it's going to affect us all." I explain.

Holden nods, "sure. We will talk later."

Good, time to take control.

I've been through too much to back down now.

I am a strong capable women; a rightful Luna of two packs and I want to take them both on.

It's my right.

~*~

"..up above the stars so high,

Like a diamond in the sky.

Twinkle twinkle little star,

How I wonder what you are." I sing softly to my boys who are laying in their cots drifting off to sleep.

I turn off the lamp and close the door.

Night night boys!

I guess it's time to do it.

I head downstairs; Dean is in the kitchen, doing some paperwork, and Holden is in the sitting room, cleaning up the boys toys.

'Office you two please.' I mind link to them both.

I hear footsteps and I sit down in Holden's big leather chair behind the desk, gathering and readying myself for the discussion.

Both Dean and Holden enter and take seats on the sofa opposite from me.

"You wanted to discuss something.." Holden urges me.

I nod, and take a deep breath, "right. I want to take control of the situation we have found ourselves placed in. I want to eradicate the risks that may come.. Our sons are at risk the longer I hesitate; and I can't have that."

"What situation are we referring to?" Dean asks.

"The Alpha, the Starshine pack. My rightful status." I reply.

Dean nods, "what's your plan?"

I think about it for a second, "I think we should take charge and reclaim the pack.

I'm a little unsure of how.. That's where you two come in. I've never been in charge of anything.

I don't know what or how to take over but I know if we want to eliminate the risk to the boys, we have to do this."

Holden speaks now, "right, I can sort out some men and with you, we can go over and claim the pack.

It may cause a fight.. The strongest will win but as I am already a rightful Alpha, I don't think we should have a problem there.

I also think we should train you up with fighting skills in case the Alpha wants to fight you for the status.

I'm not sure if it will come to that but we have to be prepared."

Thank god I have Holden.

"I think that's a good idea Lizzie," Dean agrees, "we need to prepare for all eventualities."

"Ok. Lets get this started ASAP." I agree to the proposed plans.

~*~

Laying in bed that night, I feel more positive and ready to get on with everything heading my way.

Then an idea hits me, "how about we use Fiona?" I ask.

Dean and Holden look up from their paperwork; the usual set up of us three in bed with my mates working on some business crap, "how do you mean?" Dean asks.

"Like.. Release her, and send her back, saying she killed me so then the Alpha thinks the threat has been removed. Then we have the upper hand. Tell Fiona what to say, and get her to release information to us as she hears it. As our inside spy." I explain.

Holden looks at me in shock, "that is a fantastic idea!" He exclaims, " we will have the upper hand then. He won't know what's hit them!"

I grin, "is that a yes then?"

Both Dean and Holden nod enthusiastically.

Great!

Time to put the plans in motion
