Lucas's POV-

After what happened yesterday, I felt absolutely terrible. Announcing Max to the pack only distracted me for a little bit. Although I cherished that moment with my heart, those memories came crashing back to me soon afterwards. I had pushed him too far, and I scared him, making him think I was going to mate with him before he was ready. I felt beyond guilty. My wolf whined quite a lot for getting carried away. As me and Max snuggled in bed that night, it was all I could think about. But today is a new day, and I was going make it up to him at the party. I did declare my love for him yesterday, and I intended to keep the promises I sworn to him. It was around 9 am now, I wonder how preparations for the party were coming along.

"Hey Sam, how are preparations doing?" I asked through the mind link.

"The stage is being set up now, the lights are all hung up, the main kitchen is working on the food, and the music is almost set up", he answered.

"Good", I said. "I'll bring Max out around 7. Make sure everything is ready by then."

"Of course, Your Majesty!" Sam joked. Before I could fire back, he had already closed the link. I'll get him back some other time, and it may or may not involve a water balloon. But right now, I needed to get Max up, that way I could keep him distracted until the party.

"Max, baby, it's time to get up", I whispered, gently shaking him awake. He slowly opened his eyes, then snapped them back shut.

"NNNOOO!" he whined, but in a cute way. He buried his face back under the covers. I chuckled at his actions. This called for desperate measures. I carefully lifted the blanket off his face and began littering kisses all over his face. Max started to giggle hysterically, squirming around under the comforter.

"Alright, alright, alright!" Max squealed, realizing that he was so match for my death-by-kisses. "I'm up!" I hummed with content, and gave him a cheeky grin. He rolled his eyes, but I didn't miss the amusement in them.

"Now tell me why you woke me up so early!" Max demanded. I chuckled.

"It's only 9:15", I said, checking my phone. Max groaned dramatically.

"TOOO EARLY!" he complained. I laughed at his words, but I have a trick up my sleeve.

"I guess you don't want pancakes and bacon for breakfast", I said in fake disappointment. He shot up, and immediately ran towards the kitchen on our floor. I laughed and followed him.

"Come on Lucas!" he exclaimed, jumping around the kitchen. "You take too long!" I laughed at his cuteness and grabbed the ingredients. I got the bacon, blueberries, milk, and eggs from the fridge and set them on the island. I also got the pancake mix and a couple of frying pans. I unwrapped the bacon and tossed it into a pan and turned the stove on. While the bacon cooked, I whipped up the pancake batter and started cooking the pancakes. The feeling of being watched crept up my back, so I glanced back to see Max sitting at the island, watching me.

"What are you looking at?" I joked.

"My sexy werewolf making breakfast with no shirt", he answered, dreamily. My cheeks went pink and I went back to cooking. He giggled at my reaction, which made me grin. I love his laughter. Once the food was done, I split it up between two plates, and sat one in front of Max. I sat next to him and dug in, after putting a good helping of syrup on my pancakes.

"So what are we doing besides the party tonight?" Max asked, after we finished.

"Well I wanted to surprise you with the decorations, so I was thinking to just be lazy for today", I said.

"Movies and cuddles?" Max suggested, but almost begged. I grinned widely.

"You get to pick the movie!" I replied. He instantly was at the couch in a puff of white smoke.

"Just leave the dishes Lucas!" he said excitedly. "I've got it!" He raised his hand and our empty plates and glasses rose above the counter and gently floated to the sink. I snickered and went over to the couch, and pulled Max close to me, spooning him. He turned on the TV and went to Netflix. After a few minutes of looking, we came across Twilight.

"Can we watch Twilight Lucas?" Max begged. "Please?"

"Why not?" I replied. He clicked play, and thus began our Twilight marathon.

AN: Twilight used to be on Netflix for a short time, but they took it off of there! This was written before Netflix took Twilight off!!

Time Skip: 6:30 pm-

We were in the middle of watching Breaking Dawn Pt. 1, and I will say, the Twilight Saga is a pretty damn good series, Bella Swan being my favorite character. Max was still snuggled into me, and my left arm was draped over his torso, and I held his hand. I softly inhaled his sweet scent of cinnamon and sugar cookies, and let out a sigh of contentment. Simple things like watching a movie while cuddling with Max are events I wouldn't trade for the world.

I looked at my phone to see that it was 6:32!

"Shit!" I said. "Max, we have to get ready! We have less than a half hour!" He laughed.

"Don't worry Lucas", he said, standing up. "I can get us ready in less than a minute with magic." I let out a breath of relief.

"Do your thing then", I answered. He waved his hand and a stand-up mirror materialized out of thin air.

"Hold still", Max said, waving his hand again, causing white smoke to engulf me. Doing as he said, I didn't move a muscle. After a few seconds, the smoke cleared, and I looked into the mirror. Replacing my outfit of only sweatpants, I was now wearing black dress pants with a cyan button up long-sleeved shirt. My midnight black hair had that messy, but good-looking messy style to it.

"Max you did ama-", I was cut off when I caught sight of Max. He was now wearing black dress pants, but with a salmon pink button up long-sleeved shirt. I felt my jaw drop as we gazed at each other, both of us not knowing what to say. After a moment, I broke the silence.

"You look stunning", I complemented him, my voice quiet. Max's cheeks went slightly pink.

"You look gorgeous", he answered shyly. I felt my own cheeks go bright pink, and I had to clear my throat and take a deep breath to make sure I didn't get too flustered. I took another breath and held out my hand for Max to take.

"Ready?" I asked. He too took a deep breath and took my hand.

"As ready as I'll ever be", Max said. I nodded in response and led him through the pack house and to the back door.

Max's POV-

Once we got to the back door, Lucas covered my eyes with his hands. His excuse was "I want you to see everything up close." He opened the door and guided me outside. After a minute or so of walking, Lucas uncovered my eyes. What I saw afterwards blew my mind.

We stood in the middle of a crowd of pack members, with super tall wooden posts forming a rectangle around us. Golden fairy lights were strung on the posts, giving some light but the almost full moon was our main source of light. There was a large table to the right full of different kinds of food, and a stage with a small but empty DJ booth right next to it. The only thing the booth held was a player that streamed music that connected to wireless speakers that were dotted all over the small area.

"Lucas I love this", I said, my nerves from earlier long forgotten. "It's wonderful!"

"I'm glad you love it", he replied, planting a kiss on my cheek.

Lucas's POV-

I'm happy that Max loved how the party was set up. The pack clearly worked hard on this. I led Max to the stage and grabbed a microphone. The pack's attention shifted to us when they noticed us on the stage.

"Hello everybody, I just wanted to thank everyone who came to this gathering in honor of my mate, your second Alpha", I said. "I also wanted to thank those who had set this whole thing up. You did an amazing job! Now enough of my boring ass talking, let the party continue!"

Max and I went in different directions after that, as everybody wanted to to speak with either me or him, but mostly him. After a while, I noticed him at the empty DJ booth, most likely finding a song. After a minute, he seemed to have found the right one, as music began to to once again blast through the speakers. He was on the stage in a puff of white smoke, microphone in hand. I listened closer to the music, recognizing the song immediately, but not quite expecting it to be this song in particular. However, I was excited to see what he was up to. A few seconds later, Max opened his mouth, and began to sing-

"You're the Light,
You're the Night
You're the color of my blood
You're the cure,
You're the pain
You're the only thing I wanna touch
Never knew that it could mean so much, so much

You're the fear,
I don't care
'Cause I've never been so high
Follow me through the dark
Let me take you past our satellites
You can see the world you brought to life, to life

So love me like you do,

Fading in,
Fading out
On the edge of paradise
Every inch,
Of your skin
Is a Holy Grail I've got to find
Only you can set my heart on fire, on fire

Yeah, I'll let you set the pace
'Cause I'm not thinking straight

Love me like you do,
La-La-Love me like you do
Love me like you do,
La-La-Love me like you do
Touch me like you do,
Ta-Ta-Touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?

Love me like you do,
La-La-Love me like you do
Love me like you do,
La-La-Love me like you do
Touch me like you do,

I'll let you set the pace
'Cause I'm not thinking straight
My head's spinning around,
I can't see clear no more
What are you waiting for?

Love me like you do,
La-La-Love me like you do
Love me like you do,
La-La-Love me like you do
Touch me like you do,
Ta-Ta-Touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?

Love me like you do,
La-La-Love me like you do
Love me like you do,
La-La-Love me like you do
Touch me like you do,
Ta-Ta-Touch me like you do

What are you waiting for?"

"This song was dedicated to you Lucas", Max said, once the music at the end had finished. The entire pack applauded and cheered for him, but I was by far the loudest. I now knew the reason why he sang this song, and it brought tears of happiness to my eyes; it was his official declaration of love to me! And damn, he could sing! His voice was fucking incredible!

I ran onto the stage and trapped him in my arms, to which he happily returned the gesture.

"That was the most beautiful thing I've ever watched and heard", I whispered in his ear.

"It was for you", Max responded humbly, and shyly.

"And I loved every single bit of it", I said. "Thank you so much Max. I love you." He was about to answer me, but I had already leaned down and pressed my lips to his, and we shared a passionate and loved filled kiss.

To be continued...

AN: So what did you think of Max singing to Lucas? Was the song choice good for a love declaration or should I put something other than Love Me Like You Do? Anyways I'm rambling, and I need to go to bed.
