A dawn breaks on a new day, and the eyes of the pack open as each awake one by one. Although the children have grown, they still stick close to home and join pack activities Yoongi organized, then later passed it down to his sons, then later their sons.

A dawn breaks on a new day, waking every Alpha, Beta, and Omega as they either go to work, get the pups ready for school, or go about their business. Every few years, a blood moon wakes the path and they gather to celebrate. It's a rare time for all of the pack members to gather and for all to watch as the moon turns from a soft, pale yellow to a blood red moon. And once it is completely full, the Head Alpha will lead the series of howls from the pack as they celebrate the blood moon.

Tonight, was the special blood moon celebration.

The Head Alpha, who is Min Yoongi's great-great grandson, Min Youngjae's grandson, takes in a deep breath as he watches his reflection. He stares at himself for a while, the scar on his right eye from a rogue made him blind and he couldn't help but grin a little as he studies it. It's funny how one claw can completely rip your eye and make you blind. It all happened so fast.

A knock was heard on the door and he turns to see his brother, Wooyoung, Omega ranked, "Are you ready? The sun is setting."

"Almost," he replies, his voice deep as he grabs his shirt and puts it on quickly. Normally during this they wouldn't dress since the pack would go run as a pack right after howling at the moon, but here recently new pups arrived and the Omegas are unable to phase while holding their pups. The head alpha's child being one of the new recently born pups.

Wooyoung hums, stepping in and fixing his hair, pulling the ends at the back and making a face, "Are you ever going to cut this thing? I'm surprised you still have it and Seonghwa hasn't made you cut it."

The Head Alpha laughs, "He's tried, don't worry. But I think Mina has taken his interest instead of my mullet."

Wooyoung rolls his eyes, "Of course his three week old daughter is going to take his interest than your mullet, i find interest in babies more than your mullet. How in the hell are we brothers."

"Well you see-"

"Nope, I don't want to hear it," Wooyoung pinched his mouth closed, he was quite sassy for an Omega, "I need to go, Mingi is wondering where I'm at."

"So protective, it's surprising that he's not related to great-great uncle Shownu. Yet again, San is the same way. How in the hell do you manage two alphas as your mates?"

"I made sure to steer clear from the family tree," Wooyoung winks, "We don't want a bunch of inbred wolves running around."

He turns to leave, once more leaving the Head Alpha alone before the door creaks open and his beautiful mate steps in. His blonde hair brushed up and out of his face as he shuts the door, the baby girl in his arms asleep and sucking her pacifier as he walks closer to the Alpha. His natural blue eyes were wide until he was close to his mate.

The Alpha smiles, wrapping his arms around his mate's waist and brings his family closer. His mate smiles, allowing the Alpha to connect their foreheads as they press closely against one another. The Alpha hums deeply, kissing his mate, "Are you feeling well enough to go to this? It's only been three weeks-"

"I'm fine," Seonghwa, the Luna and Omega says softly, "I just can't lift anything more than her, and I may be a bit sore, but I'll just head back inside the house if I'm hurting."

"If you're hurting we will all go back, as a pack. I'm sure the other Omegas that had pups won't stay long either."

"Hongjoong, you're the Alpha, you need to stay and to lead the pack to the party. I'll be fine, I can take myself home if I need to-"

"No, when one of us goes, we all go. The Luna doesn't feel well, so the other Omegas that have had pups won't feel well either. We probably shouldn't have even planned a party-"

"Oh please," Seonghwa rolls his eyes, "Let the teens and children attend to it. The younger wolves should attend. No need to stop the party for one person."

Hongjoong sighs, kissing Seonghwa once more before leaning down and kissing Mina's tiny plump lips when he removes her pacifier, "You're right. But please tell me when you're ready to go and I'll take you home so you won't walk alone."

Seonghwa nods, smiling a little as he sees the slightly darker woods outside the window, "We must go, the blood moon will happen soon."

Hongjoong nods and leads his family to the door of the pack house that still stands to this day. He leads them outside, seeing and hearing other wolves around them as they all walk to the meeting grounds. The moon was was already turning red, slowly but surely it was filling up with a red glow instead of the pale yellow.

Every one charters and laughs as they wait for the blood moon to finish taking the place of the moon. The Omegas that recently had pups received more attention, including the Luna's princess he held closely in his arms.

While everyone got comfortable for the beginning of the celebration, Hongjoong watched the moon fill slowly... slowly... until...

He walks away from the pack, immediately conversations die down to silence as they watch their head Alpha watch the moon fill the last little inches. The pale light that consumes earth is now consumed with red, and Hongjoong doesn't hesitate to initiate the celebration. He lifts his head to the sky, tilting his chin back as far as it goes as his eyes close. From the pit of his stomach, and to the bottom of his heart, he releases one lone howl.

After his howl dies down, one by one each pack member joins as he continues to howl at the moon. Everyone soon joins, little children giggle and howl cutely just like their parents. Hongjoong stops, the pack one by one stops as well and waits for his words of wisdom. He is quiet, waiting until it's completely silence before turning to face his pack tilting his head up, "We are all one. We're not individuals and we do not separate. We are a pack, meaning we are one with one another."

Seonghwa nods at his mate, slowly sinking into the crowd to head back to the pack house and Hongjoong turns his attention to him before looking back at his pack, "My great-great grandfather, Min Yoongi, started this tradition for our pack during the blood moons. To keep the tradition alive in his honor, there's a small party ready to begin at the waterfall. Everyone, go have fun."

The pack, youngsters and elders, cheer before phasing and racing towards the  waterfall. Seonghwa giggles, watching his mate leave the spotlight and come closer to him and their daughter. Hongjoong kisses Seonghwa, looking down at their baby girl as she wiggles in her mother's arms, her tiny lips pucker as she whines.

Seonghwa smiles, "Baby's hungry, gotta head back," he leans in and kisses Hongjoong again before smirking, "Alpha."

Hongjoong hums, wrapping his arm around his mate tighter and leads them to their pack house. Together as one, as long as an Alpha has his Omega, he can conquer anything.
