He chuckled, and pulled her close, kissing her lightly.
He smiled at her, holding her as close as possible.
He smiled again, closing his eyes.
He nuzzled her neck slightly, a small smile on his face.
He held still, breathing softly.
He let out a soft sigh. "Come on. Announcement about me taking over as Alpha will happen first, then the announcement that you're my mate." he told her, taking her hand and leading her towards the front.
He sighed. "You have to be." he replied gently. "I promise it'll be fine."
He went up and joined his father.
"As you Know Emerson One day will take my place as alpha and that's today" he said Lilli and the pack clapped.
Emerson gave a small, polite smile. "Yes sir." He replied, tipping his head from side to side for a second.
"Is there anything you'd like to say son" he asked.
"Ah, just that I have found my mate and we would like to make it official. If that's alright." Emerson replied.
"Alright. Lilli, would you please come up here?" He asked, extending a hand to Lilli.
Emerson kissed her cheek. "Now, everyone. I know most of you know her, but Lilli is my mate. She has chosen to accept me as such. Which means she is as much your Alpha as I am, so listen to her, and respect her. If you do not, you will have my fangs to answer to."
