How Do You Want It to Go?

It had been almost 3 months when they had started their training in the Nine-Tailed Pack. Marie's pregnancy is already halfway and some says that she would pop anytime soon since it is a werewolf pregnancy while the other says it is 9 months. Her bump is as big as a 6 month pregnant but only the one closest to her know that she is carrying two babies.

Liza and Mike had already marked each other after the second full moon of their stay in the pack. Everyone is amaze on how they are able to control their animalistic instinct during Liza's heat. Everyone is looking forward for the mating but Liza refuses as she wants it to do after wedding and Mike respects her decision and agreed with it whole heartedly.

"Why is everybody so busy these days? They even called off the morning trainings," Liza asks Marie and Samantha enjoying the sun in the garden while having their morning snack at one of the coffee tables at the garden patio.

"Maybe because your parents will be back?" Sam answered.

"I doubt that. Our learning sessions with the Alpha had been extended and sometimes there were Elders that take part of it."

"Not sometimes, Marie. Always. It started a month ago."

"Oh! Haven't notice."

"Let's go to the mall. I need to buy something and you need a change of scenery." Sam said diverting their attention. Mike had mind linked her to take the girls somewhere far from the pack house.

"I don't want to go. I am too tired..."

"Seriously, Marie. Look at you. Always sitting or sleeping. You are not lifting a finger to do anything and always asking Chris to this or that."

Sam's eyes widened hearing Liza's banter and she tried to intervene before an argument broke out. She mind-link the mates of the two girls to help her and now they are rushing in the garden for her aide.

"Are you implying that I am fat?"

"I did not say you are fat. What I am trying to say is you need to move your muscles. Did you hear me mentioning that you-mmm-mmmm." Liza argued. Mike covered her mouth before she is able to finish her sentence.

"Liza, I know you are in PMS. Please don't argue with a pregnant woman. You know they have mood swings," Mike said trying to reason to Liza. They went to their room so Liza could change her clothes.

"You should go with them, Marie. Buy something you want. You could take the car and card," Chris offered as he comfort Marie but instead he received a slap.

"What do you think of me? Penniless! How do you think I could drive after you make me pregnant. I can't event fit in the driver's seat and you want me to drive. I told you that we will mate only not make me pregnant." Marie is getting moody the more she speaks.

"I didn't think you are penniless. I thought you are saving for the baby that's why you don't spend much for your self. You could take one of the guards to drive for you. Besides, we would be at ease if there is at least two bodyguards with you when you go out. Both of you are not yet familiar here."

"Fine!" After Marie had agreed, they went to their room so she could change. They would meet Sam at the garage after an hour.

'You're mates are crazy bitches,' Sam mind-link Mike and Chris.

'Yeah! But Liza is crazier. What if she is already pregnant? She could be worst than Marie,'

'Stop spouting nonsense. If they know what you are talking about them behind their backs, we are all dead meat.'

'Hahaha. You are just afraid of Liza.'

'Says the one who is afraid of Marie.'

'That's why I don't look forward to meet my mate whoever he or she is...'

After getting ready, the trio went to the mall with three body guards taking one car and one pick up. The trio is in the car with the Seb. and the pick up is used by the 2 other body guards, Alec and Adam. They insisted of bringing extra car cause they might buy more than what they actually need.

Mike and Chris finalize the details of the surprise engagement party. Everyone in the pack were pledge to keep the party secret considering the security threat. Some think it is a welcoming party as the arrival of the relative of the future Alpha and Luna, and some thought it is about surprise baby shower and gender reveal party.

Alpha Max had changed the patrols team and routine twice a week since the planning had started but in different intervals of days. He made sure that there would be no patterns in the change of shifts or no members would be on the same team in the 3 consecutive rotations of shifts and time of patrols.

The Council intervene in the management of the pack hospital they change almost all of the schedules and teams. They fear that there could be a spy. Even the schedule for trainings and schools are change. Everyone had been complaining when they learned why they understand and the members become cautious.

"Mom had called they are already at the airport, they would be in an hour. The girls should arrive after 6 pm," Mike informed Chris and his grandfather. They were discussing on how they will bring their mates in the location of the party without them being suspicious. "Aunt Amy brought few witches like around 20. Do you think we have enough rooms to accommodate them?"

"Yes, we have enough space here. I'll have someone arranged the rooms," Alpha Max answered.

"Marie would kill me. She hates walking or standing for too long cause of her feet."

"Don't worry about her. Liza said that they will watch a movie then eat."

"Hmm. Right."

"Alpha, it is final that you and Zach will accompany them until they reach the training grounds. Then we make sure that everything is set up before they arrive and we are in the position. Their parents were to greet them and be with them until the time we show and propose."

"How about their dresses?"

"Samantha will manage. She will give them a make-over."

"Alpha, the plan is in motion. The girls are heading to the mall. I asked Seb to join them aside from Amy's warriors," Zach informed them after receiving a call from Sebastian.

Meanwhile at the mall, the trio went to watch movies and had their lunch with their escorts. Samantha insist that they get a makeover since their parents will be coming to their pack.

"It is the fourth shop we entered and none of us had able to buy even a pair of heels," Liza complains. "I think I have a lot of dresses in my closet."

"You are not leaving this mall without buying a dress and heels pair with your makeover," Samantha said.

"What do you think of this blue-haltered dress. It is flowy and reached right above my knee." Marie had already tried the dress before asking the girls of their opinion. "It is so comfy."

"Wow! It's perfect. Match it with this." Liza handed a light blue one and half inch heel closed toe sandals to Marie to try.

After trying the sandals, both are impressed in Marie's attire as it accentuated her body making her bump bigger.

"I'll pay it while you look for your dress." Marie paid her dress and instructed Alec to carry her bags to the pick up as they might need to check other shops.

"I like this dress. What do you think?" Liza showed a red-haltered dress with deep neckline and heel long dress with a slit on the right side reaching her mid leg.

"Try it on. I try to check what heels you could wear." Samantha find a pair of red four-inch open toed stilettoes and ask for Liza's to the sales lady.

"Wow! You found it. Your curves are truly emphasize." Marie is impressed and she give a glittery red pouch that she saw in the counter. "Now for the missing piece, I think Sam had found your sandals."

Try these if size 8 fits you." The saleslady assisted Liza with Sam's instruction in trying her heels. after putting it on she made a catwalk to rock her clothes.

"You rock it girl!"

Liza changed her clothes and pay the ourpit.

"Grrrr--grrr"

"Sorry the kids are hungry but we still need to look for your dress, Sam."

"Don't worry about me. After Liz had paid her dress, we will have our snacks. You go to the salon while I look for my dress." Samantha suggested.

"Yeah, and they could bring the bags to the car since Marie might want to buy more baby's supplies. I think she was not able to check those things yet." Liza mocks Marie with her compulsion on buying things.

"Mock all you want. Let's see when you have your baby."

Alec had returned from the parking and Adam and Seb left so they could put the bags to the pick-up. They left the dress and heels to Alec that the girls would be needing in the makeover.

"Guys, head to the Food Park by the Palace. Anything you want?" Liza ask.

"Pizza with Coke and Adam will go with fries and Coke." Seb said.

Alec and the girls went to the food park and ordered their snacks. They ordered three boxes of party size pizza, 2 large fries and Sodas for the guy while milkshake for Liza and Samantha. Marie just have water since she is watching her sugar intake as she feared that too much sugar and caffeine could have an effect on her babies.

"You sure we could finish this all? Hawaiian Overload, Chicken Texas barbeque and Angus Special with overflowing toppings?" Liza asked.

"Yes, werewolf remember. We eat a lot but we don't get fat."

"The fries is with overloaded bacon and cheese toppings. Is this heaven?" Marie asked.

"Ok! The guys are here. Let's dig in."

They starting having their snack and the guys are thankful that aside from having their snack, They are able to rest heir feet from walking. They could only complain to their hearts since they are their pack leaders.

"You still need to go to salon while I look for my dress. It is already 4:30 and we need to go back by 6 I guess. Alec you go with me. Adam and Seb will be going with you girls."

With Sam's instruction, they headed to the salon while Sam and Alec went to find her dress after finishing their snacks.

"Alpha Max would kill us if they learned that we left them."

"I am making a call. Quiet." Liza called Mike to update them about their whereabouts.

"Hello!"

"Mike! They are at the salon together with Adam and Seb. How's the set up?"

"Almost done. Mom and Dad is already here. Aunt will be here by 7 pm the earliest."

"Got it. Will keep you posted." Sam ended the call. "Let's get moving before the girls suspect."

They entered another boutique to look for her dress. She found a skin tight knee length off-shoulder silver dress and she paired it with silver-grey T-strap 4 inch heels. After paying they head to the salon and have her makeover.

Almost 7 when they had finished the make over and changed their clothes. Seb drive the car and they headed to the training grounds to drop the girls. They reached the grounds around 9:00 pm.

Alec and Adam went to the pack house to bring the bags and changed their clothes. They waited for Seb and they headed to the training ground to witness the proposal.

"Alpha, Zach, why do we need to be here? Shouldn't we be at the pack house?" Liza asked. Samanthe escaped them and went to the grounds to meet Mike and Chris.

"The pack house won't be able to accommodate everyone for this party."

"Mom, Dad!" Marie gave her parents a hug.

"Hi Auntie Louise, Uncle Simon!" Liza hugged Marie's parents and welcomed them for coming to the pack then she notice her mom in her father's embrace crying. "Mom, why are you crying?"

"Nothing, baby girl. You're a grown up lady now but you will always be my baby."

"Honey, stop being emotional. You make her worry," Samuel cajoles Amelia.

Marie and Liza, together with their parents and Alpha Max and Head Warrior Zach, they went to the training ground entrance. Mike and Chris welcomed them and hugged their mates. The elders left them and they joined the party. Everyone had their fills then the teenagers started to dance at the cleared path as the music changes from rock to pop to R&B.

"Guys, let's dance!" Liza insist them to dance together with the pack members. Mike and chris shared a knowing look and they mind link the DJ to play the song Photograph by Ed Sheeran after the next two songs.

When everyone heard the music Photograph, the teenagers started to leave the clearing to give way for Mike and Chris together with their mates. When the song reached the part of Bridge in the song "Wait for me to come home", they were dancing alone. Everyone is anticipating Mike and Chris' moves.

Once the song finished, the DJ lowered the volume of the song and Mike kneeled in one knee and proposed to Liza.

"Since we were kids, you are already the troublesome one but you are able to wiggle your way out. You are a strong willed woman and know how to handle the situation with one look. You are able to control my every fiber with your words and manipulate my soul with your actions. Like how we drink water and breathe air to live, being with you is like another life to my well being." Mike gets the red velvet box and slowly open to show the simple diamond ring. "Somehow, someday, I look forward to wake up and sleep in your embrace, seeing you smile every morning, hugging you every moment I have and kissing you endless. I want to grow old someday with you by my side with our kids but in order for me to do that, will you marry me?"

Surprised can't express Liza's emotion. She is speechless as she thought that this would be a welcome party for her parents and her clan. She started crying when Mike pulled the box to show the ring. She can't even express herself as the ring is the same as she depicts to be her engagement ring. a simple gold and silver mix with one small diamond that symbolizes sometime in life, there is a point that a certain someone would change our life to forever.

Liza just showed her left hand to Mike and was not yet answering Mike's question. She is still crying but in her mind she is shouting YES to him. Mike is guessing her answer and he is not sure if he should put the ring in her index finger.

"Yes!" Liza shouted. Mike widened his eyes and was not able to react after hearing the anticipated words. He, then, slipped the ring to her finger and gave her a peck and hugged her. Though Mike new the answer but anticipating and hearing it still made him nervous of the what ifs he is thinking negatively.

While Mike is proposing, Marie is watching them, Chris hold her hand and tries to get her attention. Once she is in all her ears, he hold both of her hands and proposed to her.

"From the day I meet you at the Economy class, I know you are the one. When we get paired to one of our projects, you don't know how much excitement I had being paired with your crush and I learned that day that you are my mate the moment I touched your hand. You're voice is an enchanting music to my ears, your smile is a bewitching gesture that I want to see every moment that I could have." Chris kneeled, let go her hands and pulled out his red velvet box from his pocket and opened to show the beautiful diamond ring. "I want to stay by your side until eternity. I want to experience the joy and sadness of life with you. I want to be with you with every failure I encounter and and every victory I achieve. Will you be my forever ally in sickness and in health, in sadness and joyous moments, and every failure and victory of the trials of life?

Marie is shocked and her tears are non-stop. She replies everything from the moment Chris started his speech and looked around her with everyone's eyes on her expecting for something. Even Liza and Mike are in each others embrace giving encouragement to her. It took her a while before the last sentence registered in her mind that Chris had said something that requires an answer.

"Yes!" She shouted and pulled him up without waiting before the ring is put in her finger and she kiss him shamelessly in front of everyone. Chris was caught off-guard and tried to maintain his balance to avoid falling to the ground with Marie. In one quick move, he closed and grip the box so the ring would not fall while kissing and hugging Marie.

Never in the girls dream that their engagement would happen the way they dreamt of it. They are sure that no one knows this aside from Samantha whom they told their dreamt engagement party exactly 3 months ago. It was then that occurred to them that the changes in their schedule started to change so as the treatment and the way the pack act toward them.

The first to congratulate the guys were their parents and they wished the best for the girls followed by the Elders of the Council, then the one closed to them and lastly the others member who wished to mingle with them.

The witches are lucky to finish the warding off of the pack right before the proposal. They did not expect that the party would be this grand as they were informed that it is a simple get together party.

The party is now its full swing, They started to dance and drink specially the teenagers. The parents and the old ones

prefer to chat with their friends and eat. When the unmated once noticed that the witches joined them, they tried to have a sniff if one of them is their mate. Some able to find their mate like Samantha who is mated to a witch or as he preferred to be called as wizard named Liam Verrill.
