The Alpha

Christmas Eve
Alec and Ben have been getting closer the more they spend time together. Ben is now more comfortable when Alec hugs him or compliments him. He even got comfortable with the other wolves calling him Luna like it's a nickname. The guards that Alec sent to Ben's Uncle's house have been spying on them and reporting back to Alec. The reason being is that Ben was against Alec's original order of killing them. So he had to have spies on them to make sure that Ben wouldn't be in any danger.

For now, Alec and Ben were cuddled up on the couch watching Christmas movies with some of the other pack members watching with them. Snacks covered the coffee table and everyone had a hot drink. Whether it be apple cider, coffee, hot chocolate, and cappuccinos. Ben was cuddled up to Alec with Alec's arm around him. His bear Franklin was under one arm, while in his hands held a mug of hot chocolate. Alec held a cup of coffee in his free hand watching the movies smiling. He loved his mate so much, he was so happy being him. But he couldn't help but feel nervous on the inside. The next morning he was planning on asking Ben to become his mate and propose to him.

Everyone knew about it except for Ben of course. As well as the kids didn't know because they were known to tell a secret right away. Alec looked down at Ben and found him asleep. He smiled setting his mug down on the side table before he gently takes Ben's cup out of his hands. Setting it down next to him and picks up Ben. Taking him upstairs to bed, laying him down, and tucking him in. Alec smiles and closed the door quietly before making his way to the stairs. He then feels a little tug on his shirt, so he looks over and finds Rebecca. Alec growls and rolls his eyes "What the hell do you want now?" He asks as he looks down at the blonde omega. "Oh come on baby I just need some fun tonight. You haven't had any fun in weeks either with that human around". She says pressing their bodies together. "That's because I'm waiting for him to be fine with it, he isn't like you who just says yes every time". Alec tells her as his jaw clenched. "But Dan must be so lonely and wants to be so active right? He's being strained so much, just let me help, I mean a human can't compare to a real omega." Rebecca says quietly caressing his chest and shoulders. "Look Rebecca I have my mate now the past is the past I can't do this anymore with you, I'm trying to be gentle with you, but if I have to tell you one last fucking time that I don't want to have sex with you then your out of the house and out of the pack. That would be under my command as Alpha". Rebecca huffs and growls "who knows you more than me he's been here for what 4-5 weeks at most. He doesn't know you like I know you. We've been together since we were 14 now you're throwing me away for someone who could die from Alice jumping on him." "Hey don't you dare bring your wolf into this. Yes, I admit we did have something for a while but when I found my mate that was broken immediately, I didn't care about what we had any more. So just leave me and Ben alone end of discussion." He says trying to stay quiet since they were near the bedroom but was definitely almost yelling.

Christmas Day
Ben was woken up by Lucy, Chris, and Will (the three kids from Ch.4) jumping up onto the bed saying loudly that it's Christmas. Alec comes in putting on a shirt since he left to go take a shower. "Alright, kiddos I think Luna got the memo." He says picking up Lucy and Will putting them on the floor. "Now go to your rooms I know your parents are still setting up all the presents now get going". He says pushing them slightly as the three-run out down the hall. Ben watched tiredly but he was up. Alec goes over to him and caresses his cheek, then ruffling his hair. "Merry Christmas my sweet Luna," He says sweetly as he smiles down at him. Ben smiled and places his hand on top of Alec's that was still placed on his head. "Merry Christmas Alec, Thank you for getting the kids off me". He says chuckling tiredly. "No problem, now go take a shower while you still can 32 pack members and 5 open bathrooms they get occupied quickly." Ben rolls his eyes "you say that almost every morning I get it, it's like a frat house". He says getting up slowly rubbing his eyes. "Well, it's a good motivator to get in early. I'll bring you clean clothes and towels while your showering okay". Alec says pecking his forehead. "Okay, Thank you, Alec, don't try to peak into the shower like last time though," He says seriously as he points his finger at him. Ben got up as he does so and Alec chuckles. "Fine I won't look this time, I'll cover my eyes from your hidden beauties". "Oh yeah your a real romantic aren't ya," Ben says sarcastically as he walks out the room. He goes to the bathroom and puts the occupied sign on the door. Going inside closing the door and undresses. Ben goes into the shower and starts washing himself. He then hears the door open and closes assuming it was Alec. "Hey, Alec what time do we-AH!" He says looking over and seeing Rebecca, then trying cover himself up. "What are you doing in here?!" He asked very confused and embarrassed by the situation. "The sign was on the door and everything". "I know and you don't have to cover yourself I know what the Male anatomy looks like. But anyway I wanted to tell you something this is the only time your Alone without Alec." Ben looks at her confused still covering up. "What is it?" "Alec is planning on proposing to you and asking you to be his mate today". She says quietly. "What? Like he's really going to propose? For real?" He asked as he furrows his eyebrows together. "Yes really I wanted to let you know beforehand because everyone knows how anxious you are about those sorts of things, I wanted to let you know beforehand so you didn't get so anxious while answering". She says to him as Ben takes it in. "Are you 100% sure that he'll be proposing today". He asks wanting to be sure it was really real. Rebecca nods "positive but I have to go now bye," she says before going out quietly. Ben pulls the shower curtains closed again and starts thinking wondering why he would propose so suddenly.

He just standing in the shower lost in thought. But got snapped out of it when the door opened again. "Sorry, the kids came back wanting to know if they could go down yet." Alec's voice floods through the room. "Oh- Uh that's okay, uh when do we go down to open presents?" Ben asks now washing his hair. "At 10:00 which is in 20 mins from now, you have plenty of time to ready Luna," he says to him actually looking away from the shower like he said he would. "Oh okay thank you for getting the towels and clothes for me". "No problem, I'll be waiting in the bedroom". "Okay" Ben replies simply and continues washing himself, as Alec leaves the bathroom. He sighs about what he was going to do or how could he respond to the proposal. Ben hasn't had time to actually think about everything he was to busy being lovey-dovey to his WereWolf 'boyfriend'. 'I mean he never really said if we were boyfriends were just mates? But again we haven't known each other for long if he was human we would wait on it until someone proposes. But here everything goes fast because you are connected as a mate.' He thinks to himself, with that he sighs and gets out of the shower to get ready.
