Four years later, graduation came for the pack. After years of homework, parties, vacationing together, part-time jobs, heats, ruts, finals, projects, papers, and the cost of everything in between, it was time to begin their career. Oddly enough, they all had one goal and that was to make furniture that aided large packs like themselves. So everyone who wasn't in design school switched their major. It was fun having the pack in the same major. One of the pack members were always in the same class, and for the most part, the professors and students treated them like they were already a pack and mated, so there was never any trouble. Now they were all getting ready for their graduation ceremony. All their Pack Families had come to see them graduate. The apartment next door had two of their pack families in it. Nicolas's and Sergio's family had the smallest members in their family. The rest of the Pack Families had 10-20 members in them, so they stayed at the hotel.
"Nicolas! I put your suit out on your bed. Please don't wrinkle it, and don't put on your jacket until we get to school." Hope called out with Sergio's and Josh's suits in hand, laying them out for the Alphas to dress after they showered. Janet had ironed all of their clothes, Katie was putting make-up on all the Omegas and Hope's face. Victoria was her present victim.
"Don't put a lot on, Katie, we are just graduating, not going to a club." Victoria complained as Hope heard as she passed by the Pack room.
"Hope, did the black thin socks come in that I order?" Josh asked, poking his head out his room as she walked down the hall.
"Yes baby, I put them in the top drawler where your other dress socks are." she says as she enters his room. He smelled so good it made her mouth water. After living with each other for four years, they each could pick up the slightest change in any of their scents. He growled at the faint scent of arousal, and grabbed her waist.
"Baby, we can't. We have to get ready... God you smell so good." Hope said, trying to get out of his hold. Josh leans down and connects their lips. Hope almost drops all the clean, fresh iron suits, as she leans into his lips.
"I want you so badly too, baby, but we are going to have to wait until after the ceremony, OK?" the Alpha said, kissing and sucking at her jawline. Hope lets out a moan. Great! Now she was fully aroused. Ugh! The Beta thinks if she can break his hold, drop the suits off and run to her room quickly with one of her toys, she will be clean and ready by the time its time to leave.
" OK," she shakes her head and kisses his lips. Hope gives him his suit and makes her way to Sergio's room. Lucky he wasn't in there or the quickly would had been his fingers and then he would been aroused which meant she would return the favor and both would need a shower and Katie would had to redo her make-up all over. This way was best for everyone.
Hope gets to her room and locks the door. Then she turns on her music. They all knew Hope liked to listen to music when she was getting ready, so they knew they wouldn't ask her for anything or come in. Also, this would help with any noises she may make. The Beta makes her way to the bed and reaches under it. It had been a long time since she had used her toys. In fact, she began to wonder if they even worked anymore, since it had been so long. She found the one she wanted, which was a pink bullet attached to a string. The Beta grabbed her wipes, lube and got into bed. Hope lubbed up the bullet and pushed it into her entrance. It wasn't a big stretch just enough to get a small moan out of her. Then she turned it on and let it do the work. The Beta then begins to rub her c**t in order for her to c*m faster. Within a few minutes she was coming, trying to keep her moans silent. She laid there for a few minutes trying to catch her breath. Hope then got up and cleaned herself up and dressed quickly so she could be the first one in the living room. When she opened her door, Nicolas was standing there.
"Having fun without us I smell." With a grin on his face.
"Sorry Alpha, Josh smelled so good it aroused my Beta." Hope said, blushing.
"I don't mind you having fun, just spray your room real quick. I don't want any of our Pack Families to smell how good you smell." He said as he kissed her forehead. Hope grabbed the spray and used it in her room and in the hall since the smell had escaped a little. Hope felt bad for forgetting. She knew how much the Alpha didn't like anyone to smell them when they were the sweetest. Nicolas would say it's none of their business how good his pack smells when they were aroused. The Alpha would growl every time it happened, causing the whole pack to have to sleep in the pack room, to reassure him that he was the only Alpha they wanted to please. Taking care of her scent, she made her way to the living room. Everyone was ready with their caps and gowns in hand.
" OK, let's go and get this over with." Janet said. It wasn't that she wasn't excited about having graduation, she was just on the tired side from hosting all the families. Hope made a mental note to ask Josh if Janet could join them tonight. Hope wanted to take care of the Omega and show her how much she appreciated her.
They get in their two SUV's that Katie's and Hope's family had brought for them a few years back. Both families wanted to do something for the pack, since Alpha's family was helping pay for the apartment, it was the very least they could do. All of them had scholarships, so none of them had to pay for college. Janet's and Victoria's family paid for their car insurance. Which made their lives simple. Although the scholarships didn't pay for everything and there were the everyday bills, like water, food, electricity and play money. Which is why they all had part-time jobs and contributed equally. This was what Hope had wanted all her life and she couldn't believe she was living the dream. She was more than excited that they were going to set the date for their pack ceremony soon. As she got in the car, all she could think about was what kind of wedding dress she would wear.
"We are here." Nicolas said "After all the pictures, we have reservations at Ruffles for everyone. Make sure your pack knows where the place is," Nicolas said. Getting out of the car, you would think the whole school was waiting for them, seeing all their pack families. The parents started taking pictures and crying. The members were trying to calm them down and that it was just apart of growing up. With hugs, pinched cheeks, kisses, and pats on the back, the pack finally made their way to the place where everyone was to meet for graduation. They all lined up, since they haven't had a Pack Ceremony, yet their last names are still the same as their Pack Family.
The graduation ceremony went well. Nobody showed out and the speeches were pleasant. After everyone walked across the stage and turned their tassels, Hope let out a breath. " It's finally over!" Even though she did well in school in general, it was always background nose to her. Taking care of and being apart of a pack was always her dream. Maybe it was just the Beta in her, but there wasn't a better dream than the one she was having now. When school was over she could really focus and be there for each and everyone of her Pack members.
"If you would, please raise your glasses," Nicolas head Pack Alpha said. After what seemed like a year of taking pictures with each family and herding everyone to the restaurant, they were finally seated and about to eat. "Before we eat I just want to say, I am extremely proud not only of Nicolas but of this pack. I am sure we all feel the same way, so let's toast this Pack. I know soon we will have a date for the ceremony as well and I want to toast to the new future Smiths. May your home always be filled with happiness as it is now and may your new chapter in your lives lead you down a successful road. To the Smiths", The Alpha said, and everyone agreed and clinked their glasses and toasted them. Then the restaurant filled with sounds of chatter and silverware scratching their plates. Hope was watching everyone smiling and laughing.
"What's the matter baby?" Nicolas, who was sitting beside her said, because he noticed she wasn't eating.
"Oh nothing, Alpha, its just..." Hope paused and smiled up at him.
"What? Its just what?" Nicolas put his arm around her.
"I'm so happy. I don't want this day or this feeling to ever go away.", Hope quietly, with tears in her eyes. Nicolas laughed and kissed her forehead.
"I am so happy, your happy baby, and I hope I can always show you the happiness you are feeling right now. Although you know what would make your Alpha even happier?" He said, rubbing her shoulders.
"What?" The Beta asked.
"If you ate, don't think I didn't notice you making sure everyone else got food today but yourself. That's why I sat beside you to ensure you ate." Nicolas said with a sparkle in his brown eyes. Hope smiled and nodded, then picked up a fork full of food and put it in her mouth. "Good girl," The Alpha whispered in her ear, causing her scent to spike a little, which caused the Alpha to growl a little. Hope slapped his shoulders.
"Your fault!" she said. They both laugh and begin to eat again. The night went on with a breeze. Besides, everyone was already trying to make ceremony plans before the date was set. In all, it was a good night. When the last tail light went out for everyone to go back to their hotel or apartment, Sergio said.
"We have got to set a date. My mom drove me CRAZY tonight." They all chimed in on their share of how each Pack Family had talked about the plans tonight without knowing the date.
"How about June 12th?" Josh said, looking at his phone.
"That's really soon and how will we get everything done in time?" Katie said.
"Katie, we literally just left the wedding planners with all their plans, I think its safe to say we could pull it off by then." Sergio laughed.
"Josh is right, I don't want to wait any longer, making us a pack and our family will do most of the work and we just have to pick an outfit and show up." Nicolas said. Victoria started hugging Hope.
"Well, I guess June 12th it is." Victoria stated. Hope smiled
"Let's text everyone the date tonight and turn off our phones. Then we should all put a do not disturb sign on our door and pile in the pack room. There are a few members I need to take care of tonight anyway," Hope said with a grin.
"DEAL!!" The other six said in unison. For years after that night, none of them would ever live it down, with their Pack Family on how they dropped a bomb like they did and then ignored all the calls and texts until the next day.
