Or maybe she could become a liaison between the goblins and the wolves. Lily would be leaving for her wedding soon, and there would be lots of preparations to be had both before and after the ceremony. A union between the wolves and the goblins was unheard of, almost unthinkable to the pack at large.
Many had resisted it at first, but Ryel had been able to calm the pack and ensure that all of their concerns had been considered and taken care of, or that there were plans to address them. In truth, no one really knew what life would look like once the alliance was settled.
Would goblins be able to come and go from town? Would wolves be able to visit the goblins' tree settlement? Would they trade openly?
Beth's head whirled with a thousand questions, and she had to calm them all, knowing that they came from a place of unnecessary worry. No matter what happened, her family would be safe, and that was what mattered most.
They finished their picnic and cleaned up. Ken kissed the top of Beth's head. "I'll take the little one out. We'll have a good time, don't worry."
"You two need more time together, so I'm glad she's taking an interest," Beth said as she took the picnic basket. "I'll go home and see what I can prepare before we continue the construction on the new place tomorrow."
"Sounds good."
Ken kissed her again, this time hard on the mouth, leaving Beth breathless before he swooped away.
In the background, Joanna cried out. "Gross! How many times do I need to tell you to stop kissing when I'm around?"
"You'll get used to it, kid," Ken said as they disappeared into the trees. "Now let's find a good place to shift."
Beth smiled to herself as she carried on the trail back in the direction they'd come from. She didn't think she could be more happy even if she tried.

Hot breath tickled Beth's neck, stirring her from sleep. Breath turned to lips sucking the sensitive flesh above her shoulder, and she moaned, curling into the warm body slipping into bed beside her.
"Mmm, you two were out late," Beth mumbled in her sleep. "Did you have a good time?"
"Jo is a natural hunter. She'll do good with the other wolves."
"I'm glad. Now I expect a feast on the dinner table every night."
Ken chuckled, his tongue swirling down the curve of her shoulder. "Is that right? What do I get in return for all that hard work?"
He pushed his firm body against hers, his muscular arms encasing her. She'd felt that his cock was already hard when he came into bed with her, and she'd hoped he would wake her up like this, hot and ready to go. She pressed her ass outward to rub into his hard length.
"Mmm, I can think of a few things. A happy mate ..."
She kept rubbing until a low groan escaped Ken's mouth and brushed her shoulder. Then she sat up and flipped over so that Ken was laying flat on his back, and she was looming over him. His bright green eyes were already hooded with desire, and she could see that he was ready for whatever she wanted to do to him.
"A blowjob, maybe." She smirked when his eyes flashed with want. "Oh, you like that last idea, do you?"
He nodded.
Beth slowly slithered down Ken's body so that her forearms were at his thighs, at his cock was just below her chin, her eyes not leaving his the whole time. Then she took his girth in her hand, and even as gently as she did, a ripple of pleasure coursed through Ken's whole body.
She nibbled on her lip while she stroked him, palming his precum as it dribbled from the tip and down his velvety length. His hips rocked into her fist, pushing when she pulled, groaning each time.
"God, Beth. You're going to make me come."
"Hm, I wonder ..." she mused, her eyes twinkling. "Should I stop?"
He shook his head frantically. "No! Please don't stop."
She chuckled and pressed a soft kiss to the tip of his cock before taking him into her mouth. Ken gasped and grabbed fistfuls of sheets as she took him in as deep as she could, her throat opening up to take him in. She added suction with each stroke, her hand coming up to rub his balls as she went.
The taste of metal and salt filled her mouth, and she moaned around him as he pulsed against her tongue. He was getting close, she could feel it, so she took him out of her mouth and replaced her hand with her lips, sucking hard as she stroked the length of him. Ken's breathing hitched, but then Beth drew away with a devilish smirk.
"Not so fast, handsome. I need some of that too."
