"So what happens now?" Yunho asked Jongho as they sat on the back deck. The alpha was still having a hard time controlling his emotions so he had excused himself from the house and Yunho had dutifully followed him.

He reached over to grab his mates hand to try and calm him down.

"I don't know." Jongho growled. "I don't even know what I'm thinking right now." He groaned and pinched the bridge of his nose. "My head hurts."

Yunho moved to kneel in front of him and kissed his hands. "I know it's hard."

"All of my instincts are telling me to go and rip his throat out for touching Wooyoung. But I also know that I can't because he is part of our pack now. This is all so new to me. I don't know how to handle it." Jongho's hands started shaking and Yunho squeezed them.

"You're doing fine so far. It's in an alpha's nature to be jealous and possessive. Wooyoung makes it easier to bring those out, trust me, I know. Chan used not let me see him around heat time. Plus... It's obvious that San is drawn to him too. I know he won't hurt him."

Jongho growled but then sighed. "I know that too. I didn't mean for us to mate. I didn't know that was even a thing."

"I didn't either, but Wooyoung followed his instincts and it worked. That's part of who we are. We need to trust our inner wolf. What is yours telling you now?"

Jongho smiled at him and then closed his eyes. Yunho felt his wolf stirring as he watched his alpha concentrate.

"To trust San." He answered after a few minutes.

Yunho brought his hands to his lips and kissed them. "I trust him too. He has helped us so much over the past few days. So go easy on him." He chuckled as Jongho pouted a little.

Then he stretched out and kissed him. He had been dying to do that for hours now. Jongho instantly pulled him up so that he could straddle him and slipped his hands under his shirt.

"He seems to be handling things well." Yeosang said, walking away from the window.

"Yeah, I'm surprised. I don't think I could handle anyone else being with you." Hongjoong pulled him into a hug and nuzzled his mark. "Although they are a very strange pack, that's for sure."

Yeosang chuckled and kissed Hongjoong's forehead before pulling away and rummaging in the fridge. The alpha let out a little whine but stayed put. "Yes, but I don't' see anything wrong with that. It seems like they all had a hard past, sometimes that makes bonds stronger."

"True. But still." Hongjoong hugged his beta from behind. "I don't want to share you with anyone, so I'm glad we don't have to deal with that."

"You're such a baby." Yeosang rolled his eyes and put up with his clingy alpha as he tried to prepare for something to eat.

Seonghwa huffed as he waited for Mingi to get out of the shower. He wanted to talk to him in private about his attitude, but he was taking forever to come out of the bathroom.

He tapped his foot when he heard the water stop, but ten minutes passed and the alpha still didn't come out.

So Seonghwa marched over to the door and pounded on it. "Mingi, get out here now, I need to talk to you!"

He was answered with silence. So he pounded on the door again and didn't stop until it was yanked open and he was standing face to face with a red eyed Mingi. "WHAT?"

Seonghwa crossed his arms and glared at him. "Were you purposely ignoring me?"

Mingi moved to close the door again.

"Excuse me?! I am trying to talk to you! How dare you close the door on me!" Seonghwa pushed it open and shoved Mingi back so he bumped into the seat. "What the hell is wrong with you? You're moody and quiet and it's pissing me off!"

The alpha just looked down at the floor, but he was visibly shaking as he tried to control his anger.

"You know what? Fuck you!" Seonghwa pushed him again and turned to leave.

"What did you just say to me?" Mingi growled.

The omega stopped, shivered, and then turned around. "You heard me. Fuck. You. The only good thing to come out of being forced to be with you is meeting Hongjoong and Yeosang!"

Mingi growled again and advanced forward.

Seonghwa reacted quickly and slapped him. "No! You don't get to do that! I thought you were starting to change, I was starting to like you!" Tears came to his eyes as he watched the alpha hold his cheek. "Why are you doing this?" He yelled.

"Because of what I did! Because I don't know how to tell you what I did!"

Seonghwa took a step back and covered his mouth. Mingi turned away from him again and took several deep breaths.

"I was part of the alpha pack. That's where I came from. Hongjoong figured it out right away because of my scent, so I'm sure Yeosang knows. I just didn't know how to tell you, especially when we found out about your family. And now we've got another hot headed alpha in the house, an omega that just went through heat, and I am losing my mind because for whatever reason I just HAD to have you and now I can't even fucking take care of you." Mingi fisted his hair and pulled at it in frustration. "I can't do it... I don't know what to do."

Biting his lip, Seonghwa wanted to take a step forward. He was shocked that Mingi was from the alpha pack, but deep down he had suspected that that was a possibility. He come off a so dominant and controlling.

But now that he thought about it, he hadn't forced him in a while and he had given up to Hongjoong easily. So there was obviously some regret.

He sighed as he watched Mingi struggle. Then he stepped forward, drawn by the fact that he had been claimed by the alpha.

"You got me here. That's enough for now." Seonghwa quietly said, placing hand on Mingi's back. "I'm sorry I snapped. I guess, if I'm being honest." He sighed again. "I can't believe I'm saying this... But I've... Missed you."

Mingi looked up at him in shock.

"I know I'm a little hot-headed sometimes. But being with you... Hasn't been entirely awful." Seonghwa pursed his lips and looked away.

"I'm sorry I've been such a terrible alpha to you. I promise I will try to do better." Mingi stepped forward and cupped his chin. "Please give me another chance?"

As Seonghwa looked at him, he felt his wolf stirring, urging him to close the distance. Usually he ignored his wolf.

This time he didn't.

He leaned forward and kissed the alpha, keeping it slow and cautious, but it still felt amazing.

"Thank you." Mingi whispered into his hair as he pulled Seonghwa into a hug,

Wooyoung let out a soft moan as he felt himself starting to wake up. But he didn't want to. He felt so warm and secure and... in pain.

His wolf was bursting with happiness though. He tried to remember everything that happened, but his mind was a blur from when he first felt the fever hit.

Sighing he tried to sit up, but something tightened around him and pinned him in place. Then rosemary washed over him. His wolf purred and he felt a small smile creep across his face.

Then he tried to sit up again and this time he was able to pull away. His heart pounded as he turned to see San rubbing the sleep from his eyes.

"S-San?" He tried to scoot away and then he doubled over as his lower back screamed in pain.

The alpha scrambled to his side and wrapped his arms around him. "Not too fast. You've been through a lot."

"Wh-What happened? Did w-we?"

San bit his lip and looked away as if he was ashamed, giving Wooyoung his answer. He rubbed his head. Jongho was going to hate him... But, he was in heat, so he couldn't be too mad, right?

As if sensing his worry, the door opened and both Yunho and Jongho were there pulling him into a hug. He cried out as he felt his back twinge again.

"Are you ok?" Yunho asked, cupping his face.

"Yes, I'm ok." Wooyoung said before his eyes drifted over to Jongho, terrified of what he must think right now.

The alpha just smiled at him and pulled him into a tight hug, nuzzling his mark. "I didn't hurt you, did I?" He asked softly.

"I honestly don't remember." Wooyoung said, letting out a small laugh. Then his eyes found San where he sat on the edge of the bed, not looking at any of them.

The other two followed his gaze and he heard Jongho sigh. "Thank you, San."

The blonde looked up in surprise, tears forming at the corner of his eyes.

"I... I don't know how this will work." Jongho pursed his lips as he continued. "But, I'm willing to see what happens. I mean, we are a pack now, and obviously three of us are ok with... Well..."

San lifted his hand to his mouth to stifle a sob, but Yunho just laughed at him and pulled him into their little circle.

"But if you do anything, and I mean anything, to hurt Wooyoung, you'll be dealing with both of us." The beta said, rubbing his knuckles against San's head.

The alpha made little sounds and attacked Yunho. Soon the two of them were wrestling on the bed.

Wooyoung glanced at Jongho one more time. "Don't ask me why. I feel like we make a very unconventional family." He laughed and rubbed the back of his head. "But it's obvious he cares for you and I don't want to push him away." Jongho reached up and cupped his chin. "Only do what you're comfortable with, though."

The omega bit his lip, not knowing what he wanted. But he did know that he was happy he found a family that accepted him and wanted him.

So he smiled and tackled San, acting as if he was rescuing Yunho from his attacks.

It was the strangest thing. His wolf was happy with Jongho and that's why he had returned the mark to try and mate with him. But now he was wondering if maybe he had been two hasty as his wolf stirred even more while he and San were touching.

Touching...

He shivered as memories of his time in heat started to come back to him and he glanced at the other alpha. A small smile tugged at both their lips before Yunho was back, now grabbing Wooyoung around the waist and pulling him away to run down the hall and outside while San gave chase.
