My Alpha

Chapter Five

The past few days have been pretty low-key, Liam introduced me to more people in his pack, well my soon to be pack. Henry, Liam's dad talked to us and said he wants to hold the new Alpha and Luna ceremony soon, meaning in the near future, Liam and I will be the leaders of the Grey Stone pack. The thought is crazy, I never would have guessed in a million years that I would be a Luna. I mean, Liam could be an Omega and I wouldn't care, he is my mate.

So Liam's mom, Scarlet, and I have been planning the ceremony while Liam and Henry do alpha things.

"I was thinking white roses," Scarlet says as we walk through the flower shop.

I nod, "Yeah, white roses are pretty. Is white the only color we want? I think having it white and maybe a white and light grey color scheme?" I know it's not a wedding, but it's tradition for the new Luna to wear a white dress that has been passed down for centuries. Scarlet told me next week we will get it fitted.

"Oh, light grey would be nice, that way it doesn't pop, but it adds a little something. Good idea Esme," she says signing her name on the order of flowers.

Scarlet drives us back to the pack house, neither one of us talking, just listening to  music. Scarlet is such a great women, she would do anything for her family, at any risk.

"So when do you and Liam plan on mating?" Scarlet asks out of the blue.

My stomach drops and my face flushes red.

"Uh," I stutter.

Scarlet chuckles, "Oh Esme, it's nothing to be embarrassed of. Every set of mates goes through it."

I know that, trust me I do, but it feels weird to discuss my sex life with my boyfriend's mom. Hmm, boyfriend, I like the ring it has.

"Liam and I, we haven't really talked about it. All we have decide is to wait till the right moment," I say looking out the window.

"Well don't wait to long," she says turning the volume on the radio up.

It's not that I don't want to mate with Liam, I'm just nervous. I know Liam is the one I want to give my innocence to, but mating is a big deal.

"Hi baby," Liam says closing his bedroom door and walks over to the bed where I was laying, watching Tv.

"Hi," I grin and turn to face him when he crawls onto the bed next to me.

Liam gives me a kiss, "How was your day?"

I shift so I can lay in his arms, "It was good. Your mom and I got the flowers for the ceremony and then we, talked. How was your day?" I change the subject from my talk with his mom, or at least I try.

"Dad and I just did paper work and set up some meetings with other packs. What did you and my mom talk about?" he plays with my hair.

"Uh, just some stuff," I say extremely awkwardly.

Liam chuckles, "Can I take a guess?"

 I turn to face him giving him a suspicious look, "Sure?"

"She asked when we are going to mate, didn't she?" he says chuckling.

I instant blush, "Yeah, how did you know?"

Liam laughs more, "She asks me all the time."

I giggle, well that has to be more awkward for him then it is for me.

"Don't worry," he says rubbing my arm, "We will when the time is right."

I know Liam can tell I'm nervous, I can relax knowing he isn't going to pressure me.
