76. Female Planning

Lilith

Noel had come and talked to yesterday and I was happy he was back to his old self. I felt bad it ended with Juliet seeing as I knew he was lonely, but I told him it would be okay. Everything seemed to be falling into place. I had a meeting with every female in the pack today and I was excited about my plan to have a festival. I had been trying to find a way to do something for the pack and get us all having a great time.

I knew the BBQ had been a hit and I felt this was the next step up. Eric and Noel had left early this morning, telling me they were going to visit their father. I had never met him, but I wondered if they were going to try and convince him to come back here. I would like to meet him. Roxie told me a bit about him, seeing as I never really got much information from Eric on the subject of him.

I looked in the mirror. I smiled at myself. It was going to be a great day. I had already run and finished two hours of school which was nothing and I knew I would be done with it all soon. I was considering college more now. I didn’t really think I would use a degree, but I liked learning. If I did decide to do it, then I would do it online. I still needed to think on it before I came to a decision One thing, I knew for sure was I had no plans to go off, have some big-time care and leave this pack.

I was loving my life, which was something I never really expected for myself. Kali, I knew would always be a challenge, but she seemed to mellow being in a pack and being let out twice a day, not to mention our little heists regularly. I wondered how the other Draco wolves managed their wolf side. I knew Eric told me they were mostly insane and demented, but with how I took care of my wolf we would work together to come to some kind of compromise. I believed they just gave into their wolfs most dark desires and it was a downward spiral from there. I was kind of concerned about locating my father.

Eric would not tell me what he knew of him, neither would anyone else. I was not deluded enough to think he was a good man. He had raped Missy and thus my birth. But I still wanted to know him, or at the very least meet him, but the desire was fading with every day. I knew when Eric finally found him, I would go meet him, but it wasn’t as urgent as it had been growing up. It was strange just being here and having some kind of family.

Helping others get stronger and now organizing something made me happy. I never saw myself like this. I figured I would graduate, go meet my father, then maybe go to a local community college while still working for Rob. I planned to get my own place and live on my own. I never even thought I would want my own family. I never wanted to bring a child into poverty. I didn’t know it was like my whole pathetic life I had planned was no longer even in my peripheral vision. I felt good here and I was content.

Eric had started to give me some time everyday where it was the two of us. We would allow our wolves to fight with one another and see if Kali could get to Axel’s level. I also would fight with Eric when he was in human form, though that always seemed to turn into late morning sex. God, he was beautiful naked. I felt goosebumps cover my arm thinking about how my tongue had run down his abs last night.

“Focus” I told myself I was meet the females from the pack. I took a breath looking at my reflection again before putting on some boots. It was overcast out and I didn’t know if it would be rain. We had snow a few days ago but it was light, we were more likely to get rain than anything. I grabbed a coat and was on my way. Roxie caught up to me, we both smiled. It was so trippy. I felt like I was living in some kind of fantasy land were everything was so easy and carefree.

I knew that was not the case, but being out of the city and not surrounded by people who didn’t get me did wonders. I wondered what it would have been like to grow up in this kind of environment. I know doubt had made it better, people were starting to look less Amish. "So, any ideas for this thing you want to put together?” Roxie asked and I nodded. “Oh, come on you got to give me something other than a nod.” She said and I laughed. “How is Marcus?” I asked and she flushed. “I left him in bed, he was happy he didn’t have to go to morning run this morning. He sleeps in so dam late; he is a sloth I swear.” I laughed. Roxie looked around nervously.

“What is it Roxie” She stopped walking and so did I. She leaned in and whispered, “I missed my period.” I raised my eyebrows. “You think you are pregnant.” She shrugged but her smile was huge. Roxie was older than me and so was Marcus. “So, this is good news, right?” I asked just to be sure, and she nodded frantically keeping a smile on her face. “Well then, I hope so. Maybe after this we can get a test?” She jumped up saying yes. I was not surprised that this happened. I was sure Percy and Tate’s mates would be knocked soon if they weren’t already.

I knew female shifters didn’t wait to have babies once they mated. It was the way it was. I had been the exception to that. Roxie and I kept walking we were meeting everyone where I conducted the training. A lot of people where already there but I knew there would be more coming. I had made sure it was every female, that included the young ones who had yet to get their wolf. It was a group project just for us females. Everyone had finally arrived. I was glad I told everyone to bring camping chairs or even quilts to sit on. I didn’t want them all to be standing especially the little ones. I wanted to sit as well and had brought a quilt. I mind linked all the women. “Okay we are going to form a massive circle.” I told them and we all moved and took places, and Roxie was sitting next to me.

I hoped the rain would hold off since some of us were sitting on the ground, no one wanted to sit in mud. “Okay so let’s get started. I want to do a Halloween party/ fall festival thing. It would not just be our pack but others as well. I wanted all of your help.” One little girl stood up. She was cute as she said, “Luna do you want our help to?” I smiled at her. “Yes, if you are a female no matter the age, I would love your help.” She smiled and gave her mom a thumbs up. So, dam cute. Maybe I did want one of those. “I wanted to get you all together so we can get ideas together and maybe make sure those, who can, have some kind of job. I think we as women should do something together.”

Roxie nudged me offering me a smile. “So now I want to open the space for your thoughts on what we could do.” The same little girl as before shouted. “Bouncy house!” Some of the other girls started cheering for that. “Okay noted we need a bouncy house, probably a few.” Some of the little girls screamed in excitement. A bunch of people started to say something at the same time. This was not going to work. “Okay we will all go around in the circle and give thoughts, then after I can call on people to say stuff.”

After several hours things seemed to be finalized. We would find a huge venue outside of the pack lands, that way we could enjoy a lot of the stuff humans could. Everyone had a job to do, and I loved it. I was just getting up when the boisterous blond head little girl ran up to me. “I don’t think I know your name?” She smiled. “Lilly” she said with a smile that showed all her teeth. “Luna, I want to kick ass like you.” I laughed and so did Roxie her mom caught up to her daughter and had heard her apparently because she looked at me and said “Sorry” I shook my head. “Nah it is fine.”

Liliy then said, “Can you teach me?” She asked and I squatted down, so I was at her level. “I will when you are older, when you get your wolf, I will teach her to be the baddest bitch out there.” She smiled huge and wrapped her little arms around me. Her mother gave me a look like I shouldn’t have said that, but I shrugged and tossed her a smile. I was always going to have a potty mouth, and everyone knew it. Roxie and I walked off laughing about the whole thing. “So, any ideas where to host this thing?” I asked her. That was the first order of business. I couldn’t do anything nor could anyone else until we nailed down a location. “I don’t have any ideas; we both should look at places tonight online. We probably can’t go see all of them tomorrow. Seeing as some may be closed.” I laughed.

“What is funny?” She asked. “You. If I want to look at a place, I will look at it.” She then responded with “Luna, the places may be closed you can’t force them to open.” I smiled. “Roxie, you know I am sure, with being mated to Marcus, I am one hell of a criminal. I can go wherever I want whenever I want.” She looked at me like I was nuts. Then it occurred to me. “So, Marcus didn’t tell you about my past?” She shook her head and said “He just said you were at the gym together, I mean I knew the man who ran it was a monster, the information I got on him was evidence on that, as well as Marcus telling me about him. But he never told me about your past.”

I smiled I was glad Marcus had not given away that information, but unlike with Juliet I felt like sharing it all with someone other than Eric and Noel. It would be nice, I knew Marcus, Tate, and Percy knew some of the stuff but that was because we came from the same. But Roxie I wanted to tell her. “Come on let's grab some food, I will fill you in.” She tiled her head. I hoped I wouldn't’ freak her out, but I knew this was what I should do. It was different than with Juliet. I was not struggling now. I had nothing to be ashamed of and I knew that it would not be charity or anything like that with her.
