"Also, I would like to say. You are the best friends a girl could ever ask for. I'll make sure every child hears of the battles that you two go into. Or at least the ones I make up in my head." She laughed, trying to keep everyone happy as they work. Her self still sitting in the chair, watching her friends move about the kitchen.<br/><br/>Ashley thought Elise and Elizabeth both made wonderful leaders, each had skills that let them lead and keep those under them in line. They also knew when to be harsh and when to be soft, yet family and children to them were alien. Which was understandable. Elizabeth was forced to either sacrifice one for the many or the many for one. In the end she did what was best for her pack and not her family and son. Though it was also clear that Micky held no ill toward his mother for this, he understands that all those in the pack were under her care, not just him. But she did wonder what the woman would have looked like if her mate never died and if she gave up the role as alpha to him..<br/><br/>Then there was Elise, had her heart broken and ripped into pieces at a young age, and has never recovered from such a blow. Which again was understand able to the woman, who had seen many of such things happen before. But she always thought that Elise might have been happier if she tried to have moved on and found someone new. Then again, her first true love was a keeper. Probably would have made rather powerful children as well. Much like her niece, Ashley knew that Elise will need help, she would have needed it even if Amber wasn't the new dark one with a werewolf who has fallen for her. The thought made her giggle softly, werewolves usually fell for their own kind. But this time around, Micky fell for one of the most powerful beings around.<br/><br/>"Hey girls I just thought of something, you two might get a much closer bond then you ever thought was possible!" The dragon laughed softly. "You two might come family."
