Elijah's POV:

Around lunch time we finally get up and go back to our parent's house. I would never be able to call this my home again after spending a wonderful night with my beautiful mate at our new home.

Walking in there is no way to hide our activities from last night from anyone. Everyone seems genuinely happy for us, even Caleb, I can see it in his eyes, even if he tries to give me the tough dad look.

Belle and Elliot just smells our new combined scent, giving us a look I don't even know how to describe, before minding their own business. I think they might be going through a phase.

"We wanted you to wait until after graduating high school before getting fully mated, but we expected it to happen a long time ago, so I guess we have to be happy with what we got" Caleb tells us digging into the food in front of him.

"I would be lying if I said I didn't expect it, that is why I started planning your Alpha and Luna ceremony." My dad says like it's nothing.

I look at my little angel in my arms gulping down the nothingness or nerves in my throat. "The Alpha and Luna ceremony usually counts as a wedding as well" I say looking at the parentals.

They just look at me like I said the most obvious thing in the world, nodding their heads.

"Yep next month." My dad says continuing eating. How can they be so.. so.. unbothered about this. It's not like we're talking about taking over a pack and getting married *note the sarcasm*.

"Aw son, we knew this was coming since you were six, stop looking at us like that, and acting like it is new news to you. We will still be helping out with the pack and the business until you graduate college and is ready to take over. But an Alpha pair gets introduced to the pack after they are fully mated, you knew this."

Lana looks up at me searching for something in my eyes after my dad's words. All I can do is give her a reassuring nod. I always knew I would marry her, I just always thought it will happen after I properly proposed. Now it is happening in a month.

Time jump!
A month later.

Living the last month with my beautiful mate has been amazing. She is so indecisive when it comes to the damn puppy I promised her, so we still haven't gotten one. Deep down I'm glad we haven't, but I'm not telling her that, she is searching everywhere for 'the perfect puppy'. 'Cute and fluffy' she said. I thought all puppies are cute and fluffy to girls, like all babies are adorable to girls.

She has been acting a bit strange the past week, but I think it is just because she is stressed about today's ceremony.

I'm standing on a small stage in front of our whole pack, our whole family. Even our grandparents came for the celebration.

Nervous. Stressed. A bit terrified. Those are all the emotions running through my body. I don't even know if it's my feelings or my little angel's. I don't  know why I feel them, deep down I'm all giddy and excited, but I can let those emotions out before I don't have my beautiful mate standing next to me.

Than I see her. It knocks the wind right out my lungs. My wolf is howling in my head in joy. I am the luckiest man on earth. She is the love of my life, she is all mine.

The dress fits like a glove. I can see the worry and excitement in her eyes. Caleb is leading her to the small stage. Taking her hand in mine I link her arm in mine holding her close to me listening to my dad start the ceremony.

Okay maybe I'm not listening to my dad, because I don't know how long I've been staring at my gorgeous mate when she squeezes my arm to bring me back to reality.

My dad gives my a knowing look before continuing or maybe repeating what he said.

"Elijah repeat after me. I Elijah Grey Stevens, take you, Alana Hale to be my Luna and wife. To protect and cherish. Through good times and bad times. Through sickness and health, for as long as we both shall live."

I repeat my fathers words and mouth 'I love you' to her. Then it's her turn to repeat everything my father says, to which I loose all my concentration again. How can someone be that beautiful?

When she is done it is time for the exchange of wedding rings. Not all wolves do this part since we already marked each other, but I want everyone to know she belongs to me, werewolf and human. After she slides my black wedding band on my finger I surprise her by pulling a different ring out of my pocket to replace her promise ring.

I really hope it fits. It used to be my grandmother's ring and there wasn't any time for me to resize it.

When I slide the ring on her finger a big gasp left het mouth as tears pool in her eyes. That has been happening a lot lately too.

After the rings, they brought an ancient knive and bowl, we each made a small cut on our hands, after I gave my angel a reassuring nod that it won't hurt too bad.

With that our blood bond with our pack formed. I could practically feel the bond between myself and my pack grow stronger. And I could feel the power that comes with the Alpha title, now that it is mine.

With all of the official ceremony business behind our backs, I pulled my angel closer, crashing my lips onto hers. I could hear clapping from the crowd but I couldn't cut the kiss short. She is like a drug, juice is nothing compared to the taste of her lips, I'm addicted.

When we pulled away to get some air, tears were streaming down her face. She mumbled something under her breath that I couldn't quite hear.

"What's that Baby, I can't hear you" I said gently wiping her tears away. It was probably just something like 'I love you', but I can never hear her say that enough so I want her to repeat it.

She looks me in the eye and whispers "I'm pregnant"

And that is how I fainted. In my first ten minutes of being an Alpha. In front of my whole pack. Just great!
