"S-San. I'm San."

Jongho, still stunned by the alpha's beauty, shakes his head and falls out of his trance, looking away with a slight color to his cheeks. He's an alpha, stupid. You shouldn't think he's pretty.

"Jongho." He turns his head back once he hears San whine and hold his side, so he gently helps the other sit up against the wall of the cave, and once he's settled, Jongho sits back and studies him more.

Now that he's shifted, Jongho can see just how bad the bullet wound is. Even though Jongho did what he could to cover the injury, San's already bleeding through the bandages, they'll probably have to be changed soon.

But besides that, the other wolf is beautiful. Jongho can't stop himself from thinking about it. His hair is almost white, and Jongho swears he can see stars in San's eyes as he looks him up and down. He's extremely lean, just like his wolf, and Jongho had to force himself to look away.

"Thank you for helping me..I was surprised when I came too and I smelled an alpha." San gives the younger a smile, and Jongho feels his heart skip a beat for the second time that day.

"It's nothing, I heard your howl and I couldn't just ignore it. Damn hunters.." Jongho growls under his breathe at the thought of humans hunting his race for their coats, and Jongho guesses that San's unique fur pattern had something to do with him being shot.

"We have to stick together, right? You're rank isn't important to me as long as we get along." San gives Jongho a grin, and Jongho internally coos at his prominent dimples.

"I wasn't being carful, I let my guard down too easy. I probably could have sensed him if I was paying attention for once. But thank you, for saving my life." San goes to chuckle, but doubles over and holds his side as he wheezes in pain." "Fucking silver bullet.."

Jongho moves foreword to help the alpha lay back down, and his breathe hitches in his throat when he accidentally grazes the scent gland on San's wrist. Soon, his head is swimming in the smokey smell of San, and he has to force himself to move his hand away.

..Why do I like his scent?

Jongho quickly goes back to laying the alpha down, and once he seems settled on his back, Jongho stands and walks towards the entrance of the cave.

"I'll go hunt for us. You can stay with me until you've healed enough to go back on your own." And with that he shifts, and runs into the wilderness, his mind locked into the alpha and clouding every other thought that enters his head.

•••

Slowly, San gets his strength back and soon he's walking around the small cave on his own, trying to occupy himself while Jongho is out running errands.

Over the few days that they've been together, San has learned a lot about the younger alpha. They get along well, despite the obessive tension of two dominant alphas sharing a space. But despite that, San enjoys his company.

But he's decided he's gotten enough of his strength back to help the younger alpha hunt for dinner. So with a slight whine and some extra effort, he shifts and sighs in relief as he feels his wolf glow in happiness of being able to shift. Jongho left about an hour ago to retrieve their dinner, so San sniffs the ground and finds the others nutmeg scent easily.

Jongho doesn't even know that San can shift back yet, so it'll be a pleasant surprise when he helps him take down some prey.

He trots in the woods for a while, following the alphas strong scent as he picks up on a herd of deer.

Soon, he sees Jongho crouching in a clutter of trees, his brown coat easily letting him blend in. San stays as close to the ground as he can, as to not alert the deer or Jongho.

San watches Jongho's eyes for a while, and he internally grins as he sees the others ears suddenly perk up. He probably smells his scent.

He nods, and somehow even without a pack link, San can sense that Jongho knows what he's asking him to do. Jongho raises his paw to step on a branch. The herd of deer turn to Jongho's hiding place, and that gives San enough time to spring forward and pursue a large buck. He manages to latch onto the back leg, causing the deer to panic and fall on its side.

Out of the corner of his eye, San can see Jongho grip onto the neck, trying to avoid the large and sharp antlers. Once the buck stops jerking and quirking in his grasp, both alphas back away to study their kill.

San starts to jump and yelp happily, Trotting in circles around Jongho.

The younger wolf playfully tackles him to the ground, and soon their wrestling and tumbling on the ground like pups. Normally, any alpha would hate the contact of alpha being this close and okaying with them like this. But San doesn't care, he forces his wolf to enjoy the contact.

Without even realizing it, both of the alphas shift, but they continue to roll around and laugh in triumph of their successful hunt. San feels like a child again.

Suddenly, Jongho has pinned San to the ground, with his knee between the others leg and dangerously close to his manhood.

Yet San doesn't push him off.

Instead, He raises a hand to rub on the hairs on the back of the alphas neck. He blushes when Jongho leans down to rub his nose against his scent gland, and San still doesn't push him away.

He enjoys it.

Soon, they're scenting each other with passion, and once Jongho pulls back and sees a certain look in San's eyes, he acts on it.

By pressing their lips together.

San's breathe gets trapped in his throat as his eyes go wide at the sudden show of affection, but he quickly shuts them and kisses the alpha back with earnest.

Their hands start to roam each other's bodies, and San lets out a gentle groan as Jongho moves his kisses to San's neck.

San groans once more, and starts to nibble on the alphas ear as he lets his hands explore the younger's body.

He's kissing an alpha, and he's enjoying it. He isn't pushing the younger wolf off him, he wants him to touch him more.

But even so, Jongho pulls back, and San whines at the lost contact. Jongho pants and sits up, pulling San with him, so their sitting with their foreheads connected.

"Am I crazy..? Or did I just like kissing you?" San blinks at his question, but he still smiles and leans further into his touch.

"No, because I liked it too."

Jongho is frozen for a moment, simply staring into San's eyes, but he suddenly laughs, and San joins in.

Soon, the older alpha sighs and links their hands together. "You know, my wolf hated that. But I didn't."

San raises a hand to cup the alphas cheek, and looks him straight in his chocolate eyes and smiles. "Mine too, but we can work around that..right? I really like you, and I don't mind staying with you. Its insane, I should be tearing you apart for doing things like that, But I'm not."

Jongho beams a smile back at San, and leans into his neck to inhale more of that smokey scent he's so fond of. Jongho, and San as well, both know they could never join a normal pack now. This is forbidden almost everywhere, and they could be sentenced to death. Yet both of them are too deeply smitten with each other to even process that this is 'wrong' in some people's eyes.

Once they decide to pull away from each other, they shift back, and San immediately goes to rub against Jongho. But he backs away when he hears the younger growl. San tilts his head in confusion, his ears pulled back in rejection. San can sense Jongho trying to calm his wolf, and soon, he's rubbing against San, having gained control back.

Both of them have lost track of time, and once they see that the sun will be setting soon, they start to drag the deer, the real reason of their adventure, back to the cave they've taken shelter in.

Suddenly, Jongho drops the kill, and lifts his head up to smell the air. He's hit with sour strawberries, a distressed omega scent, and something else he can't pick up, but he smells the unmistakable smell of heat.

He looks over at San, and he can tell that the other alpha can smell it too, and with a nod from Jongho, they follow the scents, the deer long forgotten as they go to investigate the distressed signals.
