"What do you guys think of going to honeymoon, huh?" Blake nudges his best friend who just rolls his eyes at his alpha.

The friends were seated near the food court of the big reception place. A huge venue was booked for people to enjoy the night of the couple's wedding.

Lavish decorations were made with everything shimmering and very close to Ezra's taste. The bar was opened at the right corner of the hall, while the left had food. Easton was making sure whether everything was perfect at his brother's post-wedding dinner or not. While Blake sipped juice with Ezra at the snacks section.

"You see this" Ezra points at his small belly and shakes his head. "There is a "no-sex" rule for more half a month, do you think my precious husband will fuck me?" he sassed.

The young alpha was a lot hornier than he ever was, which definitely showed his frustration. Though the couple went on and on for any chance he had, these days keeping Ezra in his sanity was hard. Not to miss, the one-month "no-sex" rule did not help much rather worsen their plans.

"Damn! Must be hard. Easton and I can barely not do it" Blake said with very much pride.

"Must be nice..." Ezra was now not even near to the one he was when he first met Blake. Their dynamics have changed big-time which was always because of Duncan's influence on the young alpha. Now all Blake and Ezra do is complain about their mates whenever they meet. From how much of an asshole is Easton to how stupid is Duncan. From the oldest alpha who wouldn't let Blake sleep properly to how Duncan is so careful with all his actions, he drew few limits for the couple's sexual activities and they were staying there.

"What you guys talking about?" Duncan pokes his head in, his hands going to his husband's waist with a toast in his hands.

"Like how you are going to sleep on the floor today" Frustrated Ezra glares at the beta who just took an unintentional jab. Ezra takes the drink from his mate's hand and puts it away.

Blake bursts into laughter but covers it up with a cough. He now knew why Easton loved teasing Duncan. The lost boy puppy look on the beta's face was just.... wow.

"You aren't drinking!" the young alpha says strictly, glaring at the poor beta.

"Of course, I am not!" he eyes the drink which was intended to go down his throat but now set on the counter, all alone. "I-I brought it for Blake!" he points at their alpha.

"Me?" the alpha raises his brow. "No way! I am not drunk, Easton will lock me up in the house if I get drunk. Nope"

Though the younger alpha made up a drinking plan with his mate way before the drama began. He did not get the right time to get it done.

Soon after the fight, Samael was admitted to the hospital. Blake was broken from within, and then Ezra's pregnancy brought chaos.

However, Blake thanked the Goddess when the young warlock opened his eyes after a whole month. He covered quick enough and then insisted on going to the "Supernatural" academy in Latin America.

Though the younger alpha was skeptical about the wish, he agreed to ut because Brianna was there to take care of their younger brother. Also, because Samael had yet a lot to learn.

"One glass will not harm you, Blake" Ezra pushed the alpha.

"No way! I am not going anywhere to that glass"

"Oh come on! I thought you were braver than this" Duncan teased. "The taste is not even bitter," Ezra turns back to eye his mate. "-the p-people around the counter were talking about it" he covers it up.

The matter of his pride was brought now. Of course, he was brave and a glass of some silly drinks mixed will not prove him wrong.

"One glass it is..." he says as he jugs down the glass.

"Ohhh" Duncan cheers up.

"This.... actually tastes good," Blake says with a smile. The taste was funny but not bitter, it had a hint of sour, and it kind of burned when passed through the channel of his throat.

But, he liked it.

"See, told ya" he shrugs, calling the server again. The beta places the glass of the new drink in front of the alpha and urges him to have a sip again.

"One was enough. No more"

"As if one more will anything, have it!" Ezra pushes.

The newly wedded couple have heard Blake's drinking habits from the older alpha and also it was the talk of Wolf high after every other party. So wanting a show for themselves was not wrong.

Was it?

-----------------------

"And then we go ZOOP!!!" Blake made the weird voice again as he tried flying the dark sky, but over his mate's shoulders. The couple was just a few more minutes away from their place but the way the younger alpha kept dancing over Easton's shoulders was only making it hard for the older one to walk fast.

"Stay still, Blake!" the older one told in a firm voice. The voice kind of startled the younger one, pulling him back from the trance.

"Shut up, Easton!!" he fought in defense with the only words that existed in his dictionary. He hit his mate on the head gaining an "ow" from him.

The older alpha just sighed and continued the walk. "Easton! Stop the car!!!" Blake kept hitting the older one on the shoulder as he spotted the place he want to get down at.

"Stop what now?"

"Oh-hahahah" he laughed realizing that there was no car, or actually Easton was the car. "Let me down hic-"

"No" the older alpha knew the moment he lets his mate down, he would run away into the woods and he had to go search him up again which sounded like a lot of work.

"Easton, please" Blake whispered in his mate's ear and gave it a kiss. The soft words and hot breath gave the older alpha shivers or were it the chilly weather.

"No running?"

"No running"

"Promise?"

"Yesh!"

Drunk Blake was indeed obedient.

Or so he thought.

The younger alpha runs like Usain Bolt the moment he was let down on his feet. He sprints, a bit wobbly but reaches where he wanted to.

Standing in front of that big lake, that was shimmering under the bright stars, with small and pretty ripples forming here and there due to the leaves that fell as the smooth wind flew.

Easton found his heart beating out very loud as he spotted his mate looking stunning as he gazed at the water with the prettiest smile in the entire world. His little long curls played with the breeze, as he tried to keep them in place. He turns to the older alpha and gestures him to come his way, just like a year old with the brightest eyes.

There, one more instance where Easton fell in love with his alpha all over again.

The man who came to him with a stained shirt, disheveled hair, and stupid appearance made his heart run miles per second now. This was that man who could cry over lost chocolate and also make you cry harder for more when needed.

He was everything Easton needed. Metal to his rock, strawberries to his pancakes, light to his darkness, a beam of a smile to his scowl, the kind to his cruelty.

Just everything.

"Easton! Fast" the younger alpha calls again. The older one smiles as he sprints to the other, just to be engulfed in a hug. "Remember... when we were on a run and how I threw you in the lake," Blake says making the alpha chuckle.

"How could I not? I had to walk home with all wet clothes" Easton complains.

"Yeah, which is also why everyone kept staring at you" he tightens the hug with a whiny voice.

"Someone seems jealous" Easton plants a kiss on the top of his mate's head.

"I am!" the younger alpha says with a cute little pout, looking up at his mate. Easton laughs a bit kissing those pouty lips.

"But I am all yours," he says moving the hair out of the way, so he could look into his mate's pretty eyes. And smile proudly.

"I know that... still" Blake snuggles his mate's chest.

"Oh, Goddess" Easton sighs, but with a smile, and picks up his mate again, by his thighs. He walks to the nearest tree and sits down with his mate in the lap.

"You know Blake?"

"What?" the younger alpha questions with his face still buried in the chest of his man.

"I used to sleep like 2-3 hours a day for the past eight years. Every time I closed my eyes screams of agony would fill my vision" he says.

"People with so many questions would run after me while trembled alone in the big bed, in that big room. But, the day when you walked in for the first time in our room and..." he strokes his mate's hair very gently. The pause in the older alpha's voice makes the younger one look up.

"And?"

"And... everything just changed. A whole 180" he chuckles. "The first night, the night of your birthday, that was the first time in all those eight years where I slept peacefully without any nightmares"

Blake smiles feeling butterflies in his stomach and hugs his other half again.

"But then again... I lost my entire mind when you went missing. All my nightmares became worse with just a thought of l-losing you" Blake squeezes the front of his mate's shirt.

This was something he was also scared of. Not seeing Easton again would be the death wish to me.

"And then I decided that I will go against anyone and anything in this entire just to keep you with me" Blake nods in his chest, which was very heavy with emotion.

"Might you note, Blake? Kids or not, you forever will be my number one. Even if our family grows you will be my first. Always" he kisses the alpha on the top of his head. Blake's hands tremble as he sniffles, his throat all clogged with the overwhelming emotions.

He withdraws from the hug and looks at his mate's blurry eyes. "I know you felt a lot of things at the wedding today," the older alpha says holding his mate's face in between his big hands.

He was very much aware that his mate's heart was so not in place. He loved Ezra like his own brother but today when Ezra walked down the aisle with a small one in his womb, a small burn occurred in Blake's heart which Easton was aware of.

"B-but what if I can never-" he stutters.

"Doesn't matter, baby. Then I will" he assures. "If even that doesn't work then we can always adopt. What's more wonderful than giving someone their forever home?" Easton says it with a very charming smile.

Blake nods his head in approval.

"Oh and..." the older alpha slips his down into his pocket and grabs something. "I thought I would give you this with all arrangements in place and all "Easton perfect" style but now seems the best," he says.

"W-what?" the younger alpha wipes the tears and sniffles. His nose was red because of all the crying and was also a bit runny.

Easton took a deep breath and grabbed his mate's hand in his.

"Blake Jensen...." the younger alpha eyes his mate and then his hand. "I know...." he takes a deep breath again.

This was very nerve-wracking.

"I know we are already mates and this is forever but, I- Will-"

"See this-, we- I do know this- I-"

"Will you marry me, Easton Ace Knight?" Blake pops the question leaving the older, who was always hesitant to bring out these things, surprised. He was so firm with his words with a lot of passion in his eyes.

He just completed the question the older one has been fumbling on for the past one minute with a very visible ring in his hand. He knew Easton was never good with words when it came to something very romantic and the younger alpha had had very little patience.

"You complete me," Easton says kissing the alpha hard on the lips. "Of course, I will any day, anytime. Now!"

Blake laughs posing his hand asking for the ring. Easton puts on the ring and kisses his mate again.

"I love you, Blake"

"I love you, Easton"
