Jongho led his betas and Wooyoung out of the town quickly to avoid the alpha from waking up.

This must have been a common thing because no one tried to stop them or made any sign of being upset about the fight.

Either that, or they just didn't care.

Wooyoung kept glancing over his shoulder as the left the town and he was really skittish.

The sound of a branch snapping caused him to jump and stumble to the side.

What had the poor boy been through?

San watched him closely, and when tears started to come to his eyes, the beta wrapped an arm around his waist and helped guide him forward.

He shot Jongho a concerned look, but the alpha didn't know what he was supposed to do.

"It's ok." San whispered, rubbing his nose on the side of Wooyoung's head. "You don't need to be afraid."

The omega sniffed and nodded.

"Do you feel up to shifting so we can put some distance between us and this place?" Jongho asked, tilting his head to the side and putting on what he hoped was a friendly but concerned smile.

Wooyoung glanced at him with his big, round eyes and the alpha felt his stomach flip. His wolf churned within him and he fought to keep it under control.

His damn wolf is exactly what got him in this situation in the first place...

Slowly, the omega nodded and looked nervously at the three of them before stepping behind a group of bushes.

The other three took this opportunity to strip and shift as well.

A few seconds later, Wooyoung emerged sporting a beautiful chocolate and black flecked coat.

Jongho was happy to see he still had his golden brown eyes too.

San pranced over to him and rubbed up against his side. Wooyoung seemed hesitant at the contact, but he didn't shy away from it either, making San even happier. A large smile crossed his face as his tail wagged back and forth.

Then he ran over to Yunho and tackled the taller wolf to the ground.

Jongho rolled his eyes and walked over to the omega.

Wooyoung's ears went back and he bowed his head a little, but Jongho immediately slipped his head underneath to lift it back up. He huffed and licked the omega's muzzle once before turning to yap at the other two.

All three of them picked up their packs, Jongho carrying two so that Wooyoung didn't have to, and they fell into an easy lope as they worked their way through the trees again.

They spent the next few days roaming the wilderness again. Wooyoung gradually became more comfortable being around them and even started to play with San and Yunho when they would take a break from walking.

The first time Jongho considered claiming him and bringing him into the pack was when he saw the omega chase a school of fish up a shallow river.

The joy he saw on Wooyoung's face when he tried to catch one on his own, and actually succeeded, made Jongho pause and forget everything he had been thinking about previously.

It was hard to communicate with no pack link, but they managed.

After being together for a couple of weeks, Jongho was keeping watch in his wolf form, but his eyes kept getting drawn to where Wooyoung was cuddled into San's side. The nights were getting colder so they were all in wolf form right now.

Just talk to him about it already. Yunho said as he walked over to sit next to his alpha.

About what? Jongho looked away from the sleeping couple quickly and started scanning the trees again.

Yunho huffed and started rubbing against Jongho's neck, bringing forth a purr from deep in the alpha's chest. You forget how well I know you sometimes. I see how you look at him. Yunho added, a hint of jealousy in his tone as he broke contact. Just pose the question and see if he wants to stay. I know San doesn't have a problem with it. And... And I guess I don't really either.

Jongho felt his chest tighten at the longing look Yunho gave him before going to stretch out next to the fire.

He's right. I don't have a problem with it. San said, and Jongho could instantly tell it was a personal link.

The alpha turned to look at him and chuckled when he saw San watching him with one eye. Wooyoung let out a long sigh as he rotated and shoved his nose under San's neck.

San closed his eye slowly. I think he is happy. All he wants is an alpha who actually cares for him. All three of us will protect him too. Just think about it, but I don't see anything bad coming from him joining our pack. San paused and his ears went back slightly. Until it comes time for you to pick a Luna. If you pick one... But I want you to know that, no matter what your decision is, you will still always be my alpha.

Jongho's heart hurt at the words. Now he knew why his father did the mating ceremonies... So that way the alpha wouldn't do what he had done. He knew that if he chose a Luna... he would hurt the other two regardless of what they said.

At that moment, Jongho decided that picking a Luna was something he never wanted to do.

The next day, Jongho's mind was flooded with thoughts of claiming Wooyoung. He wasn't really even paying attention to where he was going until he noticed an alpha's scent getting closer.

He froze and growled, feeling his hackles rising in response.

A large, red alpha walked out of the trees and took in his pack. He shifted and slipped on a pair of shorts before crossing his arms. "Get off my territory."

Jongho shifted as well and glared at the other alpha. "We are just passing through. We mean you no harm."

The man ground his teeth together and started studying the others. Both betas stood tall, but Jongho could sense Wooyoung cowering behind him.

"What's he doing with you?" The alpha asked, and Jongho immediately knew he was referring to Wooyoung. "I smell another alpha on him. You're not one who steals omegas, are you?" His eyes turned red and he uncrossed his arms.

"No, he left an abusive alpha and decided to come with us for a bit." Jongho felt his wolf bristling. He knew he could easily make this alpha submit with his head alpha blood, but he was trying so hard not to.

The alpha snarled but took a step back. "Get out of my territory. NOW."

Jongho shifted and the four of them bolted.

Once they exited, Jongho led them up the side of a mountain, wanting to put as much distance between them as possible.

They came across a small den and Yunho immediately started working on building a fire. Wooyoung and San stood off to the side, the younger had his face buried in San's neck and was trembling.

Jongho walked over to them and placed a hand on Wooyoung's shoulder. His would was pleased when the omega leaned into his touch. "Are you ok?" He asked softly.

San's forehead creased as he rubbed the back of Wooyoung's head.

"I'm only going to cause you problems." Wooyoung said, his voice low. "I should leave... Everyone is going to see that I don't belong to you."

Jongho tensed, not liking the sound of Wooyoung leaving. "Is that what you want?"

The omega turned to look at him, then shook his head. "N-No... I don't want to. I feel safe with everyone. I like being here." The unasked question swam in his eyes as he turned more. San kept a hand on his waist for a second, then walked over to Yunho.

"Come on, let's go find something to eat." San said quietly.

Yunho stood and looked at Jongho and Wooyoung, but quickly looked away, trying to hide the small amount of dislike there.

Jongho sighed. He knew Yunho would learn to be ok with it like he had learned to be ok with San.

None of them had done anything since their last time together so there was definitely some pent up tension.

The two betas left the cave and Wooyoung wrapped his arms around Jongho. "Please can I join you? You've already been so much better than my last alpha. I promise I'll do whatever you ask me to and, and, and I'll give you pups one day, and, an-"

Jongho cut him off by placing a hand over his mouth and chuckling a little. "I've been wanting you to join us for a long time. I just didn't want to push. There's... There's a lot about me that you don't know yet. I'm really not the best alpha." His voice got softer and he looked off to the side.

"San and Yunho don't seem to think that."

"Yeah, well, you don't know what I've done to them. I don't want to hurt you... And we make a very... Unconventional pack." Jongho pursed his lips and felt a blush creep onto his cheeks. Why did he feel so weird talking about this? It wasn't abnormal for alpha's to claim more than one wolf. Although he didn't know if they all slept together...

Stupid sex-crazed wolf...

Wooyoung placed a hand on cheek to regain his attention. "I kind of already guessed that. And while it will take some getting used to, I... I could be ok with it."

Jongho's wolf surged forward at his words and forced Wooyoung up against the wall. He claimed the omega's whimpering mouth instantly and gripped his waist, forcing their hips together.

The older wrapped his arms around Jongho's neck, returning the sudden neediness. His wolf wanted Jongho too.

"You want to be my omega? That would make Alpha very happy." Jongho growled as he started nipping down Wooyoung's neck. He hissed at the mark and avoided it for now. "Soon you will bear MY mark, not that filthy bastard's. You're MY omega now."

"Yes. Mark me. I want to be yours. Mark me, use me, please Alpha." Wooyoung panted as he too tried to kiss every inch of Jongho's face and neck.

Then the omega's teeth grazed over the soft spot on Jongho's neck and he froze as his wolf sprang forward even more. Fire then ice ran through his veins. His wolf wanted to be marked.

Jongho pushed that feeling away and started to strip Wooyoung. They both tugged and pulled, wanting to feel each other even more.

He spun the older around so he was facing the cave wall and started kissing down his spine.

The area started to smell of roasted marshmallows as their scents intermingled in the air.

"So eager for Alpha." Jongho chuckled as he ran a finger over the inside of Wooyoung's thighs.

The omega whimpered and leaned into the he wall, sticking his ass out a little more. It made Jongho groan at the sight and he brought a hand down to slap one of his cheeks. Wooyoung rolled his bottom lip in his teeth as he moaned.

Jongho's need was growing the more his wolf took over. He could tell this was going to be a fast one as he crouched down and forced Wooyoung's legs further apart so he had better access to his entrance. He used his thumbs to spread the omega's cheeks and ran his tongue back and forth.

Wooyoung tasted just like his scent and it was amazing.

The alpha continued to lap at and tease the omega, to the point where Wooyoung's legs started to shake as he tried to keep himself standing up.

Jongho felt his wolf still begging for a mark, but he ignored it and gathered up Wooyoung's slick onto his fingers and started pumping his own length. He also reached around and wrapped his large hand around Wooyoung's, earning a whine and a few thrusts from the omega.

"Please, Alpha. I need you! I need Alpha's knot!"

The younger hesitated just for a second at his words, but then remembered that they had all been taking medication for a few weeks now.

With that peace of mind floating around in his head, Jongho growled and started to press himself to the omega, unable to wait any longer.

Wooyoung whimpered and wiggled his hips, looking at Jongho over his shoulder with bright golden eyes that glowed with lust.

He found the omega simply stunning and almost lost his train of thought while starting at Wooyoung, but another whine snapped him out of it and he worked himself inside.

They took it as slow as their wolves would allow. Wooyoung was generating so much slick that Jongho was able to slip in easily, but he still didn't rush it so the omega could get used to the stretch.

Wooyoung didn't seem to mind because he kept rotating his hips to get Jongho to keep going.

When he alpha bottomed out, he growled as he sat there, savoring the tightness around him.

His eyes fell to the faded bruises still marking Wooyoung's skin and felt his anger rise at the old alpha. If he ever saw him again, Jongho would snap his neck for tarnishing such a beautiful omega's skin.

"A-Alpha, please!" Wooyoung whined, capturing his attention again.

Jongho rubbed his back while pulling out, then gripped his hips as he started to thrust back in.

The pace picked up quickly and forced Wooyoung to lay his forearms flat against the wall to support himself as the alpha slammed into him at an even faster rate.

Wooyoung felt so amazing. Jongho loved the way his back curved as they both stood there. He could feel Wooyoung forcing his hips back to try and take in Jongho even deeper.

The thought suddenly came into Jongho's head that he couldn't wait for the other two to join them at some point too.

But that could wait.

After a few more thrusts, Jongho felt his knot starting to form, so he forced Wooyoung forward so his back was straight but he could still use the wall for support and continued to thrust up into him. He also reached around and started stroking Wooyoung's length in time with his thrusts.

The omega whimpered several times and let his head fall back. It sounded like he was still begging for a knot, but his words were so slurred it was hard to make out.

Jongho grazed his teeth along the older's sweat covered neck and bit down as soon as his knot burst, filling the omega to the brim.

Wooyoung cried out as he was brought to his own climax. He shook in Jongho's arms as the alpha rubbed his stomach gently and licked the mark to seal it.

As the pack link washed over them, they both sighed. Wooyoung turned his head and nudged
Jongho's head up so they could share a few more kisses as they settled in to wait for his knot to go down.

Jongho smiled as Wooyoung nestled back into him and his chest started to vibrate a little. He knew right there that he would do anything to protect the omega, just like the rest of his pack. They were all so precious to him. And they were something he never knew he needed.
