No matter how many different ways Seonghwa tried to phrase it, he just couldn't get over the growing pit in his stomach whenever he thought about what was going to happen later that night.

The pack was making it even harder with how excited they were too.

All except for him and San, the two wolves actually involved.

And it wasn't like his problem was with San. A few months ago? Sure. He would have despised any idea of being with San, but the alpha had grown on him during their time together.

No, the problem was his wolf.

After spending months and months training it to be ok with being with another omega, he was afraid of losing all the progress he'd made in one night by allowing himself to be with an alpha.

San was nervous too. He had become timid, almost, and stayed by Jongho's side to give him plenty of attention.

It was almost comical, the way he felt like he needed to make all this up to Jongho, whereas Wooyoung was practically shoving Seonghwa out the door. He was so excited for them to both raise a pup together and he would gush about it for hours at night.

For an omega, raising a pup was something that consumed their instincts and Wooyoung's was a little stronger than most. Although Seonghwa believed that was because they had gone for such a long time believing that neither of them would end up having pups.

Now they both could, and for that Seonghwa was grateful, even if he wasn't thrilled with how it was going to happen.

When it came time to finally part for the evening, he approached Wooyoung from behind and wrapped his arms around his mate so they could both rub his stomach. "It's not too late to change our minds."

"Yes it is, don't be such a sourpuss." Wooyoung shook his head before leaning back to rest it on Seonghwa's shoulder. "It's going to be fine. Maybe a little... awkward." He giggled and patted Seonghwa's hands.

"No shit..." The older omega grumbled. A chill ran down his spine when San stepped out of the house with Jongho. He turned to give his mate a parting kiss, then stepped down the front porch.

"God it feels like you guys are going off to war! Lighten up!" Wooyoung said, laughing joyfully afterward. "It's not that bit of a deal! And neither Jongho or I are going to be upset out it so just go do what nature intended for us to do all along."

Jongho pressed his lips together so hard that the skin around them turned white as he tried to contain his own laughter. "You guys will be fine, and I'll take good care of Wooyoung while you're gone." He said, giving Seonghwa a respectful nod.

After letting out a long sigh, Seonghwa surrendered and pressed a long kiss to the side of Wooyoung's head. He received a cheeky smile from his, unfortunately, adorable mate that he chose to ignore and followed San down the path that led to the den at the edge of the territory.

It was already set up with blankets, furs, coolers of food and drink, and supplies to make fires. After spending several hours talking about it, the entire pack had thought it be best that they plan on being there for a couple of days. They had no idea what to expect and that made tensions high when they reached the den.

"So, how do you want to do this?" San asked hesitantly.

Seonghwa felt himself blushing. He rubbed his neck and looked anywhere but at San. "Um, m-maybe boundaries?" The strain in his voice was obvious.

"Sure." San replied, but then neither spoke.

"For fuck's sake." Seonghwa suddenly growled. He was tired of them dancing around each other and wanted to get this over with. So he stormed forward while yanking his shirt over his head. "Strip."

The alpha's eyes widened and then flashed in response as his lip curled in a snarl. "How da-"

"I said strip!" Seonghwa's entire body was trembling as he tried to fight the natural instinct of his wolf. It was easier than he had expected but when San's eyes turned a deep shade of amber when his wolf came forward, part of Seonghwa did want to lay down and give in.

And it was easy to see that San wanted to lose control, but somehow he managed to turn himself around so that his back was to Seonghwa while yanking his shirt over his head. "Look, Seonghwa, I know this hard for both of us, but I-"

The omega interrupted him by grabbing his shoulder and forcing him down to the ground. Seonghwa was rough when helping San continue to undress, and a low growl kept coming from the back of his throat.

He just needed to tell himself that this was fo a pup. This was to make the entire family happy.

And it wasn't like San was unattractive.

If fact, Seonghwa found his lingering on the very prominent abs that San was sporting, as well as the naturally thin waist he had. He would by lying if it didn't make his stomach twist a little and he could feel his natural slick start to dribble down his thighs.

He shook his head and ignored the smirk coming from the alpha and tried to decide how he wanted to handle this next.

San took his hesitation as a chance to try and take control. He propped himself up on one elbow and lifted a leg up to loop around Seonghwa's waist, then he used his strength to flip them over so he was on top.

Seonghwa immediately snapped at him and forced them to role over once more. "No!" He snapped, feeling his dominant side starting to take over.

"Be a good omega." San, no, San's wolf snapped. His eyes flashed amber again, although there was a little more red this time, and he tried to take over once more.

"Be a good alpha." Seonghwa mocked. He twisted around quickly to sit on San's stomach facing away from his head. Then he grabbed San's length and started to stroke it.

He couldn't bring himself to look at the alpha, but San seemed to get the hint and brought a hand up to start tracing his entrance.

The faster they could get this over with, the better.

Seonghwa bit his lip when San started to slip in one finger. It felt so unnatural, but so good at the same time. But he still found himself trying to pull away.

San growled at him and used his other hand to squeeze his waist. "Stay put."

"Don't tell me what to do." Seonghwa pinched San's thigh with his nails and smirked when the alpha yelped. He wasn't going to give up control that easily.

Even though he could feel his wolf begging him to. It wanted a pup so much that it was begging Seonghwa to submit.

San continued to gently work his finger in at out. Each move was calculated and thoughtful. "Such a pretty ome-"

"Shut up!" Seonghwa now slapped San's thigh. He didn't want to hear any alpha babble or anything like that. He was already having a hard time with his internal struggle.

This ended up being a reoccurring thing for them. San would try to take control and be the alpha, while Seonghwa would do everything he could to not surrender his control.

He also urged San to work on stretching him out faster, which when it still wasn't fast enough, Seonghwa reached behind himself and let three of his fingers dip inside his leaking entrance. He let out a long whimper and fell forward.

San managed to catch him before he face-planted, but that put them in a position where Seonghwa was on his hands and knees and San was kneeling behind him.

A low rumble came from San and he yanked on Seonghwa's hips, pulling himself back to start grinding his length against the omega, using his slick as a lube to prepare his length.

Seonghwa lost himself in a lustful haze for a moment, especially when his hand drifted up to start stroking himself.

But it was exactly that action that reminded his body that what San was doing wasn't something he was used to.

The rage that took over nearly caused Seonghwa to shift as he used one of his legs to shove San to the ground again.

They grappled for control again and Seonghwa was starting to accept that they were evenly matched now that they were breaking the standard rules of their rank.

In one final fit of dominance, however, Seonghwa managed to pin San against the furs once more, but this time it was with his hands behind his back. "Keep them there, Alpha, or so help me I will-"

Seonghwa, no. Wooyoung's voiced filled his head and Seonghwa immediately flinched. Of course their mates would stay in tune with what was going on.

San closed his eyes and turned his head to the side. Jongho must have been speaking to him too because he stopped fighting for control.

The omega huffed and turned so that he was facing away from San again. "Are you ready?" He asked, trying to keep his voice calm and thoughtful.

"Yes, I'm ready." San answered. "I'm sorry, I didn't think it would be this hard."

Seonghwa looked over his shoulder once more and offered San an apologetic look. "I'm sorry too. I... I don't mean to lose control."

He watched as the alpha gave him an amused smile. "It's ok, I think I understand with Wooyoung as your mate."

Hey, that's not true!

It kind of is, Woo. Jongho joined in and then a twinge of pain shot through their connection, indicating Wooyoung had most likely smacked the back of his head.

San and Seonghwa shared a brief laugh before the omega took it upon himself to start stroking San's length. "Ready?" He asked one more time. When he got a nod, Seonghwa lifted himself up and slowly lowered himself down, letting San fill him bit by bit.

It was... Invasive but gave Seonghwa a delirious high as well. He could feel his would burning with a hidden passion at finally being connected with an alpha. There were some instincts that couldn't be overlooked, and Seonghwa knew this was one only because it would lead to a pup.

When San was fully within him, Seonghwa let out a groan and leaned forward to brace himself on San's knees, which the alpha had bent to give him something to grab on to.

"So tight..." San whimpered. He rotated his hips a little and Seonghwa let out a warning growl.

But he couldn't really argue. It took him several minutes before he felt comfortable with lifting himself up again. The feeling of San moving within him, scraping against his walls, and rubbing against his prostate, it was all so wonderful. He finally understood why Wooyoung would always be so overwhelmed but sated when they were done.

The urge to feel more of that pleasure started to overtake him and Seonghwa used his legs to raise and lower himself repeatedly.

Both he and San started panting and whimpering, and when Seonghwa's legs started to tire, he elected to rotate his hips either back and forth or in circles.

"Fu-! Oh, a-ah!" San cried out and bucked his hips out fo reflex.

Seonghwa would have gotten upset with him again, if it wasn't for the fact that he saw stars in his eyes at the sudden jab to his prostate and he lost his balance. "A-Alpha..."

The plea was not missed by either of them.

San immediately pulled his hands from behind his back and helped Seonghwa onto his hands and knees before thrusting into him again.

The rapid pace he kept had both of them in a state where they were unable to speak.

When San's knot started to form, Seonghwa started stroking himself too, wanting to feel that high but also needing that familiarity of something encasing his own length.

As it burst, and he felt San's seed start to fill him, Seonghwa came as well, groaning and falling forward so that his chest was pressed against the furs below him.

Both alpha and omega stayed like that for a long time. They each needed to get through their high, but also come to terms with everything they had just done.

Seonghwa was surprised when he didn't feel wrong about it. Granted, Wooyoung entering his mind through their personal link and telling him that he was proud of him and that everything would be ok helped, but on top of that, Seonghwa was... happy.

His wolf was thrilled at the prospect of a pup, and he was feeling good about it too. San was a good alpha. And that was confirmed when he picked up a towel and started to clean the sweat from Seonghwa's back, sides, arms and legs while giving him time to process.

"Are you ok?" The alpha asked when their time in the same position grew even longer.

"Yes. Are you?" Seonghwa turned to look at him over his shoulder and noticed there were tears in the corner of San's eyes.

"Y-Yes." San sniffed and whipped his nose with the towel. "I feel..."

"Complete?" Seonghwa asked.

San nodded. "Yes, and no. I don't really know how to explain it."

The omega chuckled. "I know exactly how you feel. I'm sorry again, for getting angry."

"Don't worry about it. At least we know what to do next time." San laughed and helped Seonghwa move so they could both lay down together.

Next time... Seonghwa didn't dread it as much as he thought he would. They had agreed to have San knot him three times before they went back home.

It was mostly too give them a chance to make sure this was going to work, while partially being because Seonghwa didn't want to go through having to leave the house every so often to do this.

The changing of their eyes had brought up another question for their pack. If their rank was shifting a little, would that mean other things would change too? It had been a topic of conversation for several days while planning. What if this didn't work?

Seonghwa didn't think that would be the case since, besides the color of their eyes, their bodies weren't physically changing. And that was proven tonight by his slick and San's knot. ,

Only time would tell, of course, but that's why they decided to try a few knots just to be sure.

And if he didn't get pregnant, then he would be happy to just help raise Wooyoung's pups.

As they settled down to sleep, he could feel San shifting a little behind him and moving his arms a lot. A smile tugged at the corner of his lips before he said, "It's ok San."

The alpha sucked in a breath, then wrapped both arms around Seonghwa to pull him into a warm embrace.

If it wasn't for the knot keeping them together, the position would feel entirely platonic between them. San liked have something to hold on to while he slept, which Jongho provided happily. It was the least Seonghwa could do for the now softly snoring alpha behind him.

I love you, Hwa. Wooyoung's sweet voice said.

Seonghwa felt his wolf preen at the words and he hummed. I love you too, but I hope you're ready to have your ass handed to you once that baby is here. I missed feeling you around me. He could feel Wooyoung's blush through their link and he knew his mate was probably hiding behind his hands right now.

I want that too. His mate said in a tiny voice. Maybe even before the baby.

Seonghwa chuckled. We'll see.
