The house was restless that night after hearing Siyeon's story. Everyone had broken off into the heir respective couples once they made sure shew as comfortable on the couch. Avayla even put her foot down and made sure she slept with her mate.

Wooyoung especially feeling it as he stared up at the ceiling, begging himself to fall asleep.

It was hard, though... even all these years later, he still felt a connection to the wolf who had given her life for him. He wished he knew more about her.

"Baby, go to sleep." San mumbled from where his nose was pressed against the omega's shoulder. "That way I can sleep."

"Sorry, Sannie." Wooyoung forced his eyes closed and wiggled in place to try and settle in. he also tried to picture himself drifting off to sleep, but if anything, that just made it worse.

San sighed and moved himself so that he was laying halfway on top of Wooyoung and sleepily rubbed his nose against Wooyoung's mark.

The action was instantly soothing. Wooyoung couldn't help but smile and his chest rumbled with a content hum. He could feel the calming energy his alpha was giving off.

It was sweet and Wooyoung appreciated it.

But it just wasn't working.

He was too restless.

San groaned and lifted his head. "Youngie."

"I'm sorry." The omega whined and slapped his hands to his face. "I just can't stop thinking about Lizbeth." He said, voice now muffled by his hands.

"I know. But you need to sleep."

"I'm trying."

"Not hard enough." San sighed and shook his head. "Nothing is going to be solved tonight. Just relax." Then the tip of his tongue flicked over Wooyoung's mating mark.

An instant jolt of pleasure shot through the omega's body and he bit his lip to hold back any noise.

"Do you need Alpha's help?"

Wooyoung had to work extra hard to keep his wolf at bay, but the teasing nature in him helped push it aside. "Really? You were dead asleep five minutes ago and now you want to have sex?"

"I wasn't asleep. Your emotions were too loud." San smirked before placing several open mouth kisses along Wooyoung neck. With each one came a couple swipes of his tongue as well.

The omega moaned at the sensation, turning his head to the side out of instinct. "S-Sannie... I don't think... this is... the best idea..." He started panting when San grabbed his side and squeezed.

"Why not?" His alpha said with a slight growl.

"Because... J-Joongie is still upset with Mingi and Hwa..."

San lifted his head up again and licked his already saliva coated lips. "Then lets make sure he doesn't find out. If he doesn't know about it then I don't see why it would be an issue."

Wooyoung's mouth opened and he blinked a couple of times. He shivered under his alpha's intense gaze.

There was no way he could do this. What was San thinking?

He was about to protest again, but all thoughts of that were gone as soon as San palmed his length through his shorts.

The omega's hips jerked up in response and he started to cry out, but San was quick to swallow it with a ferocious kiss.

Their tongues twisted together, hungry to taste as much of the other as they could.

San smirked into the kiss, his thrill at winning the first challenge oozed off him. It make Wooyoung bristle at how smug his alpha could be.

So he turned his head to the side and pressed his lips together to end it. He also closed his eyes, completely shutting down in an act of defiance. He knew it was a loosing battle, but he still wanted to try.

"What's this?" San growled, rubbing his nose along his omega's neck. "Do you think you can defy Alpha?"

Wooyoung kept his eyes and mouth shut, although his breathing was getting faster with anticipation. He could feel his body trembling too, which he knew would be a dead giveaway.

But then San surprised him by getting off the bed. He padded around the room for a couple of minutes and returned to the bed right as Wooyoung opened his mouth to ask him what he was doing.

His question was answered when a piece of cloth was shoved between his lips as San straddled his waist.

The omega's eyes flew open and he whimpered into the gag, which was already growing damp where his tongue was brushing against the fabric.

"You brought this on yourself." San gently caressed his omega's cheek with his knuckles. "If you don't want to talk to me, then you lost the right to talk at all."

Wooyoung moaned and rotated his hips, grinding them against San's ass and shivering at the delightful friction rubbing across his length.

They had done something like this before, but it had been a long time.

When they had first been intimate again after Wooyoung had been taken by San's brothers, he had had a few panic attacks during San's needier times when he became more dominant. To try and counteract that, they started slowly experimenting with blindfolds, gags, and even ropes to help him work through the trauma he had experienced.

It took some time, but it had eventually worked. Now all Wooyoung felt was the buzz of excitement as San also lifted a bandana up to cover his eyes.

Within seconds the younger was jostled around as his clothes were ripped from his body, his alpha throwing him around like a rag doll, only to be pinned to the bed once more.

He was having a hard time keeping track of where San was or what he was going to do next. With his senses inhibited, each new kiss or nip against his skin was like fire or ice.

Then he realized that the gag was probably a blessing because he couldn't control the endless whimpers excepting from his body.

Especially when San started take his omega's length into his mouth. They both hummed at the contact and Wooyoung found himself trying to thrust up into his mate's mouth, which of coarse was denied when San placed a hand on both hips to forced them against the bed.

Wooyoung could barely keep up when San started bobbing his head even faster. He was relentless, his mouth a tool to draw an orgasm from Wooyoung's body. Each suck, lap, and moan all intent on bringing the omega to his peak.

And his body loved it.

The omega could feel the slick pouring from his entrance, adding to his wolf's urge to beg for its alpha.

He started to whimper into his gag. It was the only way he could think of to get his point across.

But all it did was cause San to moan around his length, sending a new wave of pleasure through him. It only took a few more seconds before he was releasing his seed deep into his alpha's throat.

At the same time, San inserted two fingers into his entrance, prolonging his orgasm and stretching him open at the same time.

It was so overwhelming. The tears that started to form in Wooyoung's eyes soaked into the blindfold instantly. He shook his head back and forth in an attempt to get San to stop.

His alpha didn't. But that was because he could feel that Wooyoung didn't really want him to.

San kept sucking on his length until he was hard again, leaving it with a loud pop before flipping Wooyoung onto his stomach and spreading his cheeks apart.

Even though he was ready for it, Wooyoung still wasn't prepared for the sudden shock of San's warm, wet tongue lapping at his entrance.

The omega into his gag and rocked his hips back into his alpha's tongue. He shivered at the growls he received in response.

It was almost strange how quiet they were being. If it weren't for the gag, Wooyoung knew he'd be much louder, but San usually enjoyed talking down to him.

Now, all he felt was each wave of emotion that rushed from his alpha. It almost made it even more intimate with their bod.

Especially when San entered him in one smooth motion, caging Wooyoung against the bed with his body so that he could start making short, quick thrusts with his hips.

San didn't go in all the way with each one like he normally did. This eliminated the slapping sound that would resonate within the room each time his hips slammed against Wooyoung's ass. It also prevented the headboard from knocking against the wall.

But there was no way to stop the obscene squelching sounds coming from how much slick Wooyoung had generated.

Both of their pleasure continued to build with each thrust. When San's knot started to catch on Wooyoung's rim, the omega cried out and fisted the sheets on either side of his head.

In a matter of minutes, San was locked inside him, still rotating his hips in slow circles while nuzzling and kissing Wooyoung's mark to add to the glorious high he was feeling right now.

As much as he hated to admit it, Wooyoung could already feel sleep starting to take over his weary body. San always knew just what he needed.

"How are you feeling my love?" San whispered against the nape of Wooyoung's neck. His slender fingers worked on untying the blindfold and pulled the soaked gag from Wooyoung's mouth.

"Mmmmmseepy..." Wooyoung mumbled into his pillow.

San chuckled and gently rubbed his sides. "Go to sleep, Baby. I love you."

Wooyoung was out before he could even think about responding.

The following morning, he woke up to he gentle kiss on the cheek. "I'm going out with Jongho to do a perimeter run. I'll be back in a bit."

"Be careful." Wooyoung said through a yawn. He heard his alpha chuckle before leaving the room, then stretched his arms over his head to stretch his body out.

He gave himself a few minutes to wake up before venturing out into the living room, where his eyes immediately found Siyeon still sleeping on the couch.

The pitter-patter of tiny feet drew his attention right before Chan ran to his side and hugged his waist. His son was getting so big. Chan's head came up to his chest now. "Mama! Can we go see Lizzie and Lori today?" He asked, looking up at Wooyoung with eyes that matched his own.

"I'm not sure. Let me see what the plan is, alright?" Wooyoung gently stroked the boys head before the two of them made their way to the kitchen.

Seonghwa and Yeosang were already there preparing breakfast. The beta turned to greet Wooyoung with a smile. "Hey."

"What can I do to help?" Wooyoung asked.

"Nothing right now. Joong is setting up a plan to help Siyeon get back home." Yeosang's voice was tense, mirroring the entire packs feelings.

They would all feel a little better once they helped the alpha get back home.

"Any word from Lizbeth or Lorelai?" Wooyoung looked at the backyard and scrunched his nose at all the snow still out there.

"No, but I heard Chan ask about them too. I don't see why you guys can't go over there once San gets back. The path there is almost complete." Yeosang glanced at where Seonghwa was staring out the kitchen window. "Mingi has been working hard on it."

Sadness filled the younger omega at the sight of his friend. He walked to Seonghwa and forced his way under the older's arm. "Do you want to go with us, Hwa?" He asked, rubbing his body back and forth.

His mission succeeded and Seonghwa smiled. "Yeah. That would be nice."

"Perfect. I-"

"Did you say Lizbeth?" Siyeon said from behind them.

Everyone turned to look at the blonde alpha, who looked incredibly confused, and tensed slightly. Chan was quick to hurry to his mother's side, watching the alpha closely.

"Yes." Wooyoung said softly. "My daughter. I named her after the Lizbeth you knew."

"You said that you knew her. Were you close?"

"In a way. We really only knew her for a couple of days, but she knew we could help free this area from a threat. And she and I shared a common illness, so we had an instant connection."

Siyeon's eyes grew wide and she shook her head. "But... You said you have kids." Her eyes flicked down to Chan.

"Yes. I found the cure she had been searching for. Me and my mate." Wooyoung watched her carefully, but he let his guard lower when he saw the genuine pain in the alpha's eyes.

"Wh-What happened to h-her?"

"She gave her life for me... to protect me." The omega looked down and closed his eyes when Siyeon sucked in a breath.

"Tell me. I want to know." She said, her voice barely above a whisper. "Please."
