With four alphas crammed into the house, Mingi found himself spending a lot of time outside. The testosterone was pushing him over the edge and he didn't need to snap in front of everyone. He was already having a hard time coping with the fact that everyone, except for San, had lost their families because of his old pack... The guilt was starting to eat at him.

He sighed and bumped his fist against the tree he was leaning on several times. The problem was Seonghwa. He didn't know how to tell the omega, and if felt like he was just starting to come out of his shell...

"Mingi?"

He smelled vanilla and turned to face Hongjoong. The alpha looked worried. "What's up?"

"Well one, you need to try and calm down. I can smell your anxiety a mile away."

"You're one to talk." Mingi scoffed, crossing his arms.

Hongjoong let out a nervous laugh. "Touché." He hesitated, then looked up at Mingi. "So what do you think we should do?"

"I don't know. They seem nice enough, but if they have Hunters and alphas after them do we really want to put ourselves in danger?"

"No. I don't. We've all been through enough. But... Then again so have they. And Yeosang seems rather taken with them too." Hongjoong sighed. Mingi felt a slight ache in the heart, wishing he had the kind of connection the other alpha did with his mate. "He's used to having a large pack and all this company has lifted his spirits. I don't know if I can take that away from him."

"Well, as I said before, it's your house. Some ground rules might have to be set though. Jongho is pretty dominant."

Hongjoong hummed. "I think I remember seeing him on the battle field. I remember the wolf coat. He did a lot of damage to..." He hesitated and glanced up at Mingi.

"You don't have to dodge around it. I just need to figure out how to tell the others..." Mingi groaned. "Just when I started to feel like I was making headway with Seonghwa."

"Take it slow, and make sure he feels how sorry you are." Hongjoong patted his shoulder.

Then they both turned, their nostrils flaring.

"Shit." Hongjoong said as lavender washed over both of them.

Jongho knew instantly and hurried to the room he was sharing with his mates. Yunho was already there, dabbing a wet wash cloth to Wooyoung's head.

"What do you need?" He asked, feeling his heart start to race.

"For you to stay calm." Yunho didn't look at him, instead focusing on the omega curled up in the corner. "And to talk to Hongjoong. We aren't all one pack, but I don't know how things will go with Hongjoong and Mingi here. Chan used to take him away before his heat hit so his wolf didn't feel the need to be with other alphas in the pack."

The beta sounded worried.

Jongho nodded and hurried out of the room. San, stay away for now. Wooyoung's heat started. Things might get a little intense. He sent to the alpha who was out on patrol.

Are you sure?

No... But let's start with that and I'll call you if I need you, ok? He sighed as he felt San's acceptance through the bond.

Then he found the other pack gathered in the kitchen.

Yeosang came over to him immediately. "What can we do?"

"I-I don't know. I've never..." He bit his lip and turned to Seonghwa.

The taller held up his hands. "I don't know how much help I'll be. Since my pack was family I've been on suppressants for years now..." He cringed at the thought and shrank back.

"Well he's definitely going to need you, Jongho." Yeosang said. "San is gone, so I don't know if he will be needed or not. Only time will tell with that one. But Hongjoong and Mingi should leave in case Wooyoung's wolf latches on to the fact that they are alphas. I don't know how that will work but I'd rather be safe than sorry. I'll stay if you want my help though."

Jongho looked to Hongjoong for permission, and the alpha nodded once before kissing his mate's forehead and going to the opposite end of the house with Mingi to pack some bags.

"Should I stay too?" Seonghwa asked Yeosang.

The beta chewed his bottom lip. "No. No you can go with Mingi if you'd like. I don't want to overwhelm Wooyoung."

Seonghwa nodded and followed the alphas down the hall.

"What should I do?" Jongho said, rubbing his hands together. He had no idea how to handle an omega in heat. He had never been around one. They had always been taken some place private to be with their mates, or an alpha they were close with, to help them through it. Plus he was always scouting the territory so he was hardly ever home.

Yeosang stepped forward and placed his hands on Jongho's shoulders. "You need to take a deep breath first. If you panic, it can cause problems for Wooyoung and he may reject your knot. That will cause many health problems for him."

Jongho nodded quickly and Yeosang just smiled at him. "Now. I know you've been with him already. This isn't going to be like that time. It's going to be all wolf. You need to be gentle with him and listen to anything he tells you to do. He's not going to fully be the Wooyoung you know. Ok?"

He didn't like the sound of that at all, but he nodded.

"Jongho. Breath." Yeosang said, squeezing his shoulder.

Jongho closed his eyes and took several deep breaths.

"Good. Now I'm going to go help Yunho. I'll call for you when we are ready."

Again the alpha just nodded and watched as Yeosang jogged down the hall. Then he turned when he heard the rest of the other pack coming toward him.

"Have Yeosang call for us if you need us." Hongjoong said.

"I-I will."

The three of them left without another word.

Yeosang closed the door behind him and placed a hand on Yunho's shoulder. "How is he?"

"Close." Yunho's face was set in concentration as he dabbed the omega's sweating forehead.

"Yunho..." Wooyoung whimpered, clutching his sides.

"I know, Youngie. I know. Just hand in there a little longer." Yunho kissed the omega's forehead. Then he turned to the other beta. "This one is going to be bad. I've been crunching the dates. I think with everything that has happened he has either skipped a cycle or this one is just incredibly late. He last one must have been right before the fight."

Yeosang could feel the blood draining from his face. If he really skipped a cycle, then they were in for a long few days. "How close is he? Jongho is waiting in the other room."

As if to answer the question, Wooyoung fell onto his side, groaning.

"He's close. Come on, let's get him on the bed."

The two betas worked to undress the omega and lift him onto the bed. He was so hot to the touch that Yeosang had to readjusting his grip.

Then the omega opened his eyes. They were bright gold.

He's ready. Yunho sent to Jongho.

The opened a minute later and Jongho slowly stepped inside.

"Alpha." Wooyoung said, instantly looking in his direction.

"Approach slowly." Yunho said.

"Do you want me to stay?" Yeosang asked quietly, taking a few steps back.

Both Jongho and Yunho nodded at the same time as Wooyoung started breathing heavily. He reached out for Jongho.

The alpha swallowed.

"It's ok. Strip down, then let him smell you." Yunho moved to the side to stand with Yeosang.

Yeosang could see that Yunho was worried, his concern for the omega was obvious. He still couldn't believe that they were both mated to the alpha, it made their relationship that much more intriguing. Especially as he watched Jongho struggling to keep his wolf under control as he approached his omega. There was such a kind and worried expression on his face as he watched Wooyoung unravel.

"Please. I need my alpha." Wooyoung whined.

"Alpha is here. Alpha will take care of you." Jongho answered, crawling onto the bed and creeping forward.

"Good Jongho, let him make the first move." Yunho whispered. His voice was strained. Yeosang reached over and took his hand.

Jongho paused and Wooyoung rolled over and inhaled deeply before trying to push himself off the bed. But his body wasn't fully in his control, so he collapsed into the sheets. Jongho was immediately there, pulling him up into his arms and nuzzling the mating mark.

"You're going to need to prep him well. It hit so suddenly we didn't have time." Yunho added, watching them closely.

The alpha nodded and slid his hand down Wooyoung's back, gathering up his sweat to work as a lube as he pushed one finger into Wooyoung. He whimpered in response and dug nails into Jongho's back.

Soon he added a second and Wooyoung's head fell back.

On the third he was arching his back and crying out.

The fourth tears were sliding down his face and he was begging for Jongho's knot.

It had been a long time since Yeosang had witnessed a heat. He had forgotten just how hard it could be on the omega physically.

Jongho carefully moved behind Wooyoung, keeping his hands on him the entire time, and slowly pushed the omega down so he was on his hands and knees. He inserted his fingers one more time and slowly moved them in and out while twisting them back and forth.

"Please... Knot... I need... Knot!" Wooyoung cried out, fisting the sheets and pushing his hips back to meet Jongho's fingers.

"It's coming baby." Jongho lined himself up with the omega's entrance and slowly pushed himself in.

Wooyoung arched his back again and let out a very wolf like groan as Jongho started to thrust into him. The alpha gripped his hips tight to hold him in place.

"Faster!"

Jongho obeyed instantly and growled as he pumped his hips faster. He leaned forward and grabbed Wooyoung's hair, pulling his head back. "How does that feel baby?"

Wooyoung's answer was his high pitched cry as he came all over the bed sheets.

"More Alpha. More!"

Yunho shifted next to Yeosang and bit his lip. Yeosang didn't like this either.

Jongho growled and picked up the pace, slamming their hips together even harder. They both moaned as the pleasure started to build, and Jongho only slowed once his knot started to build.

When it burst, Jongho's head fell back and Wooyoung sprayed the sheets for a second time.

After panting for a moment, Jongho grabbed Wooyoung and slowly adjusted them so they could lay down and he ran his hands all over the omega's body while kissing his mark. "I've got you, Woo. I've got you. I'm right here." He whispered as the omega sobbed.

The two beta's stayed where they were, still holding hands, while Jongho comforted his omega.

Thirty minutes later, he was able to pull out slowly and he rolled Wooyoung over to give him gentle kisses. All over his face.

Wooyoung whimpered and pressed his nose against the mark he left on Jongho.

But then he pushed him away, letting out another painful cry. "Alpha!"

Jongho stumbled back off the bed, a look of terror on his face. "What's going on?" He looked to the betas.

"I was afraid of this." Yunho said quietly.

Yeosang bit his lip and stepped away from the pack, knowing where this was going.

"What? Afraid of what?" Jongho said, his eyes flickering red as he fought his wolf.

"We need San."
