Gulping, Sean took a shaky breath before asking Mark cautiously. "Mark...? Are you feeling... alright?" Straightening up from digging out one spot for a tent, Mark huffed out as he rubbed his brow. "Ya. Why do you ask?" Sean opened his mouth to answer but just shrugged as his eyes wondered over him. His new clothes fit rather nicely. Specifically, his blue jeans. However, even his dark leather jacket with a black fleece interior was striking on him. Everything about him just affirmed to him that he was an Alpha. His manner of speaking, standing, and moving. The wolf stirred within him, causing him to let out a soft whine as he noticed his change in size and power. Mark perked his head up with wide eyes after hearing his whine, but he said nothing and didn't move. He just stared at him. Moving very slowly, Sean got to his feet and circled around the fire. His eyes never leaving Mark's. Sean couldn't think rationally. He could just feel the strong emotion rushing through him.

It was a powerful emotion shrouded in a mix of playfulness and deep affection. Had Mark triggered another heat? Sean wasn't sure. He'd never heard of a heat like this. This felt like his wolf was trying to draw Mark to him. Stopping on the other side of the fire, Sean spread his legs and turned his head just enough to bare his throat but not enough to lose sight of him. Mark's eyes flashed from brown to a bright wolfish yellow that reflected in the light. Mark turned to face him better, his voice deep when he asked him a bit guarded now. "Sean...? What are you doing?" Unable to answer, Sean just reached up to unzip his jacket. Letting the shoulders of his jacket fall off his shoulders. Mark walked up to the fire, staring across the flames at him, when he uttered out under his breath. "Sean... You don't know what you're doing..." Smirking to himself, he let his jacket fall to his elbows, when he corrected in a teasing voice. "I don't know what caused it. Or what this this feeling is... but I assure you, Mark. I KNOW what I'm doing."

Shaking his head, Mark growled out. "Stop." Tilting his head back to keep baring his throat, Sean playfully shot back. "You don't want me. Then ignore me. Aren't you stronger than your desire?" Mark took a step around the fire, and Sean innocently moved around the fire too to keep the fire between them. Mark growled softly to himself, before stating gruffly. "You want me to chase you. As an Alpha... I'd be a fool to ignore your blatant offer." Flicking his tongue over his lips, Sean chuckled out giddily. "Because it's your job to keep the pack strong. Produce strong pups to help protect the pack... to succor your bloodline." Mark let out a deep growl that only made Sean smile. His growls were not angry. They were practically an Alpha's whine at being thwarted. Mark moved around the fire again and Sean calmly moved with him. The wolf in him loving the attention. When Mark stopped, he did. Flashing him a sly grin as he told him playfully. "If you don't want me. Stop trying to pursue me. Use your Alpha voice. Command me to stop."

Standing perfectly still, Mark retorted darkly. "I can't... Get a grip before another Alpha smells you." Sean glanced down at his spread legs. Where his slick had dampened the interior of his thighs and was still slowly leaking down his legs as the fabric became soaked. Meeting his eyes, Sean bashfully told him. "I can't control that. I've had you once... I want you again. It's natural for an Omega like me to want a strong wolf like you. It's on YOU to decide if I'm worthy." Shaking his head, Mark growled out as he stared him down. "You're NOT mine." Snorting with disappointment, Sean shrugged and told him rather bitterly. "Fine. Then you stay here. And I'll see if the next wolf finds me worthy." Turning on his heels, he flipped his jacket up over his shoulders again and stared to walk farther into the woods. He hadn't been joking. The wolf in his was not willing to wait. Not tonight. He wanted to find his mate. He barely got a few yards out, when Mark ran past him. His feet and hand sliding over the snow as he slid into his path with a deep possessive snarl.

Staying in a low crouch, Mark's eyes flared to yellow wolf eyes as he snapped out. "Don't you dare! You're not going anywhere! It's too dangerous for you!" Smirking, Sean stuffed his hands in his pockets, he shrugged out. "Worst they can do is fuck me and knock me up. But... that's what I am. A walking meal for Alphas like you that can't control your lust. I just have to accept that if I want to find my mate." Stepping to the side, Sean started to walk past him, until Mark suddenly rose to his feet and extended out his arm to halt him. Without looking at him, Mark told him firmly. "Sean, this is not the place to find one. You belong with the pack. You should choose from THEM. Not whomever you find here. These Alphas are wild. They could hurt you from lack of exposure to Omegas." Taking a sudden step closer to Mark's side, Mark let out the cutest puppy yelp of surprise. Followed quickly by a deep dark snarl that Sean could sense had no threat behind it.

Grinning, Sean whispered very close to Mark's ear as he tried to lean away from him. "Name three Alphas you think will make great mates for me... and I'll go to bed... thinking about them to satisfy this need I have." Mark's jaw locked tight, and he avoided looking at him. Glancing up at the clear starry sky and the brightest full moon that he'd ever seen, Sean whispered to him casually. "It's a beautiful night. Now it makes sense... Loup-Garou love mating under full bright moons." Lowering his eyes to look at the sparkling snow beneath the moonlight, Sean heard Mark tell him reluctantly. "It's why I bought the... The bottle of pills. I could sense it was coming... but I didn't know what it would do to you." Lazily looking to him, Sean stated rationally. "It's similar to a heat... but... more relaxing. Or so I was told. Mother says it's the perfect night for honeymoons. More of a chance for... making a litter of pups. I can see why... I feel needy but so... calm. I'm energized but strangely just want to... run naked through the woods. Until... someone catches me."

Mark whined and Sean grinned brighter. Sliding his hands over his chest, he told him coolly. "Finish making the tent. I'll... stay by the fire." Turning to walk back, Sean let his jacket slide off his torso. Carrying it to set it on his seat by the fire. Stretching by the warm fire, Sean hummed to himself as Mark struggled to stay focused on his work. Turning away from him, Sean closed his eyes and began to strip himself down. Standing naked by the fire, Sean inhaled deeply. He was seconds from howling up at the moon, when Mark's hand covered his mouth. Firmly pulling him back against his warm body, Mark spoke into his ear in a deep voice. "Don't... You'll let them know where you are." Sean glanced over his shoulder, watching Mark strip himself down. Mark seemed reluctant at first but once stripped. He pressed up against his back and began kissing his shoulders. Sean gasped as Mark's warm hands explored his chilled sensitive skin. Holding onto his hips firmly to grind his growing hard on against his bare ass.

As Mark let out deep moans over his neck and shoulder, Sean leaned back into him encouragingly. He barely felt the cold because of the bonfire and the strange warmth that ran through his veins. Mark's hands stroked down from his hips to the front of his thighs. Grasping his thighs, Mark pulled his legs apart slowly, his warm breath puffing over his neck rhythmically. Biting his lip, he let Mark position himself to enter him, easing down to lean against a fallen log. Mark followed him down, his teeth grazing over his shoulder possessively as he pushed himself into him. Sean shuddered with a sharp moan, feeling Mark fill him with glorious ease. He was so wet that even as he entered so smoothly, Mark whimpered out his pleasure. Gripping his hips, Mark began to thrust into him with powerful growls that sent goosebumps down Sean's arms. His first time had been nice, but this was so much better. Licking his ear, Mark whined into it a bit desperately. "This means nothing... I just... I wanted to have sex with you again."

Rolling his eyes, Sean smirked. He really didn't care at the moment. He wanted to have sex again and want it to be Mark. The wolf in him had wanted it to be Mark. As Mark's knot swelled, Sean spread his legs wider and lifted his hips higher. Allowing Mark just the right angle to unload his sperm directly into his womb. Mark seemed to understand what he was doing as quivering whines left him mere seconds before he shoved himself deep. His thighs shaking against Sean's as he came in surging shots. Practically feeling Mark's warm load pooling in his womb, Sean let out soft whines. Panting heavily over his back, Mark kissed a trail up his spine and said nervously. "Sean... I can't keep doing this... The risk is too great." Pushing his hips back on Mark to keep him as deep as possible, Sean answered over his shoulder confidently. "Relax. I'll take the pills. In the morning and start on the heat suppressants."

Resting his forehead on his shoulder, Mark grumbled aloud. "Sean, those pills are not a guarantee against Alphas. And... I'm not sure the heat suppressants will matter anymore..." Raising an eyebrow, Sean blurted out over his shoulder. "What do you mean they won't matter? It will stop tempting you, like you want." Sighing heavily, Mark admitted awkwardly. "It's not your heat that I was attracted to. I just had to see you strip and my... I recalled before. How it felt... and... I wanted that feeling again. To feel you beneath me." Blushing, Sean admitted to him. "I'm the same. I don't think I could be with a Beta now if I tried. I... I love your knot. How it forces you to stay close to me. It just feels... amazing." Licking his ear, Mark whispered in a sudden cool Alpha voice. "I don't wanna hear you speak of another Alpha mating with you again. You keep this between us. You stay... mine. And I'll protect you."

Swallowing, Sean's fingernails dug into the log. The wolf in him was thrilled and shuddered into submission with obedience. However, the rational part of his brain whispered out uneasily. "Are you asking me to be your... side piece?" Mark's breath warmed his skin when he whispered over his back. "I... Before I mounted you, I thought about... If Cecilla can't have pups or... she doesn't want to mate with me than... you could be... You could do it legally by pack law. You sensed I couldn't smell... maybe you know that she can't... you know." Sean fell silent. It hurt that Mark had brought this up. It had only happened twice in pack history. Forcing the pack leader to choose another partner to 'preserve his bloodline' since the Luna was unable. Yet, it always came with animosity to the pack. No one wanted to admit the Luna's couldn't breed. They always blamed the side piece for 'WANTING' sex more than the Luna. To stay relevant to the leader.

Lowering his eyes to the ground, Sean's heart sank a bit. There was no way that Cecilla was unable to have pups. Mark's father would have had her tested before proposing the betrothal. The wolf in him didn't care if Mark wanted to fuck him all the way back home, but the human side of him... did. If it didn't mean anything but gratification... could he even enjoy it?  To Be Continued...
