Alpha Alexa
Chapter 89

Colter's

POV

It's been a month since we settled on our plans to take over the council. I worked with Michael and Melissa and we came up with a presentation to give. We were currently having the original history books put into digital copies so we could present it to everyone that showed up. After some research, it was easier than we thought. It was just a matter of Alpha's pledging their loyalty to us over the council and once we had more people than them, Alexa's family would rule again.

What Alexa didn't know was that the ball was actually going to be her Luna ceremony and if I had a say in it our wedding. I was planning on asking her tonight. She was finally feeling better after having Callen. She was a crying mess right before she had him and for a while after. Grey and I really didn't know what to do but we just tried to be there for her. She hasn't cried in two weeks now, it's been amazing. Not going to lie, it was so unlike her I didn't know what to do. I talked with Liam and Mac and they both said their mates weren't like that, but I guess everyone is different.

I had Sloan and Aubree helping me today. They had Alexa at a spa and they had strict instructions that they couldn't bring her home until six pm. They were supposed to take her shopping after the spa for a new dress. She is smart, so I am sure that she will figure out what is going on but still, I am going to try. I was currently placing rose petals on the bed in our room. I still had to go to town and get the flowers I had ordered for her and also pick up her ring. I also needed to set up our small dining area for tonight. I was trying to make the room romantic. I wanted to fill both with candles and more flowers.

"Mac, want to go to town with me, I have to pick everything up for tonight," I mind-linked him.

"Ya, man. I just got done with my training class. Let me grab a quick shower." He linked back.

I got Callen ready to go. He was with me today. Michael and Melissa are taking him for the entire night. This was the first time we would spend more than an hour or two away from him. I am not sure how we will handle that. We didn't like to be away from him. I got him changed and gave him a bottle and made sure that I had enough diapers and wipes in his bag and headed downstairs to wait for Mac.

It didn't take Mac long to get down here to head out. He had Kaden with him.

"I thought we could make it a boy's day," He said grinning at me.

"Did you ever think this is how our life would turn out? Were both toting our boys around. They are close in age like we were growing up," I told him laughing. It was strange to see both of us like this.

"Dude, are you going sensitive on me?"

"No just remembering back to everything we have been through together and knowing that our sons will be able to be there for each other."

"Being a parent has made you soft," he said laughing at me. We got to the SUV and loaded the babies into their car seats.

I drove to town. It wasn't a far drive but had to be careful to not run into the girls. We stopped at the jewelry store first. We got the boys out and went in. I had given the jeweler my mom's ring and wanted the diamond taken out and placed in a new setting. I wanted the diamond on the top and the band to be covered in three different blue stones all the way around the band. The three different blues represented each of her and her wolf's eyes.

"Hello Alpha. I have your ring all done and ready for you. Let me just go get it out of the back," said Mrs. Becker. She was an older wolf who ran this shop when her mother passed away and then her mother. It had been in their family for years.

She came back out and handed me a small box. Mac came over to see what I was getting. I hadn't really told anyone yet. I opened the box and the ring took my breath away. It was exactly the way I wanted it and it was more beautiful than I could have imagined. "Holy shit dude, are you finally going to put a ring on it?" He asked laughing.

"Yes, tonight that's what this whole trip into town is about and the girls taking her away for the day."

"Why didn't you say something, I could have helped you plan."

"It was something I wanted to do all on my own. What do you think of the ring?" I asked him as I turned around and showed him.

"That is beautiful. She will love it."

"I hope so. I am really nervous to ask her."

"Why she just had your son a month ago, do you think she is going to tell you no?"

"Ya kind of."

"That girl loves you. Trust me she is perfect for you and you for her. She won't say no."

His words oddly made me feel better. Grey was also helping. He was so excited about tonight. He has been bugging me to do this well since I found her but so much had happened that it never felt right until now.

"OK, I need to go to the flower shop and then I need to replace a store with candles," I told him putting the ring back in the box and in my pocket. I paid for it and we left.

"What is your plan for tonight?" He asked me.

"Well I have the kitchen doing up her favorite dinner and we will have it in our room. I plan to fill it with flowers and candles and I also did up our bedroom to take the celebration in there."

"Sounds nice," he said.

We spent the next few hours getting everything in town and headed back to the pack house. We dropped the boys off with Michael and Melissa for a few minutes while we brought everything up. After getting everything brought into my room, we went back to get the boys from Michael and Melissa but both had a baby on them and they were sound asleep.

"You leave the boys with us. They are sound asleep and you don't need to wake them," Melissa said smiling.

"Thanks, guys. I will come back later for them."

They just waved at us to get out. We headed back to my room and started setting up everything. I filled the room with flowers and candles and had a single red rose on the table and also candles.

"Ok, I think we are done," I said and looked at Mac.

"Looks great to me, she is going to love this."

"Come on let's get our boys. I only have two hours until she gets here and I need to shower."

We walked down to Michael and Melissa's room and knocked on the door and when Michael yelled come in we opened the door and walked in to replace them laying on the floor playing with the babies.

"We're having a good time here with the babies. Why don't you two spend the night with your mates. Both of you." Melissa said smiling at Kaden.

"That's very kind of you but you don't have to keep Kaden," Mac said sounding unsure of himself.

"Nonsense. We were never able to have kids so this here is my grandson and this one here is my adoptive grandson and you know what we are missing our adoptive granddaughter, but I don't know if we can handle all three of them overnight. We will take her another night," Melissa said smiling.

We both said thank you and ran out the door before they could change their minds.

"I think I love those two," Mac said laughing.

"Me too."

"Now I have to go and get ready because I am going to take my mate out tonight." He said wiggling his eyebrows at me.

We parted ways and I went and got in the shower and got ready for her to arrive. It didn't seem like it took long to get ready and before I knew it I got a link from Sloane letting me know they were headed down the driveway. I ran down the stairs to greet her at the door. I saw the car pull up and that's when I got nervous. I watched her step out of the car and holy shit she looked amazing. If we made it to dinner it would be a miracle.

I opened the door and took the longest strides I could to get to her. I had to touch her. She looked like a sex goddess. Her hair had grown out some and she had it curled in soft curls. She had on some makeup not that she needed it. But the dress and heels are what put me over the edge. It was red with a plunging neckline and was tight. I could see every curve of her body. I finally made it to her and pulled her into me and bent my neck so that I could inhale her scent. It has always done something to me. It was my favorite.

"Princess, you look absolutely gorgeous. I can't wait to peel this dress off you tonight," I whispered into her ear and started to pepper her neck with kisses.

"You think this dress looks good, you should see what I have on underneath," she whispered back.

I just groaned out because I don't know if I will be able to keep my hands off her. She looked so damn sexy in this dress.

"Come on, I want to show you something," I told her grabbing her hand.

I took her up to our room and stopped at our door.

"Colt, where is our son?" She asked me when we stopped.

"He is spending some time with his grandparents," I told her as I opened the door.

She let out a little gasp as she took in the room. It was lightly lit with candles everywhere and where there weren't candles there were flowers. Red roses and white daisies.

"The room looks absolutely beautiful, but what is this about?" She asked looking confused.

I took her hand and took her to the table and when we got there I couldn't take it anymore. I needed my lips to hers. I gently placed my lips to hers and swiped my tongue over her lips and she quickly opened up. We stood there for a few minutes just emersed in our kiss. She tasted so sweet. Like strawberries and cream. I brought my hand around behind her head and deepened the kiss. She finally pulled away and was breathing heavily. Her arousal was filling the room. I started to kiss down her neck and found her mark and sucked on it and her arousal got even stronger.

"Colt I need you right now," she moaned out in a breathy tone. I had her right where I wanted her. It was now or never.

I reached into my pants pocket and pulled out my box and dropped to my knee. I grabbed her hand and looked up to see tears brimming in her blue eyes.

"Alexa, I have loved you since before we even met. We have been through so much and have come out loving each other more every time. I want to spend this lifetime showing you every day just how much I love you and our beautiful son. Will you do me the honor of being not only my Luna but wife? Will you marry me, Alexa?"

I got the words out but they were shaky and I was nervous. My palms were sweating and my heart was beating so hard it felt like a jackhammer in my chest.

"Colter I love you so much but I'm not a Luna."

Was she turning me down? I can't handle her rejection. I can't believe that after everything we've been through and she would reject me. "Colt, look at me please."
