After Oliver and Barry slept together the wolf pack bust their short-lived bliss and they don't just have a lecture for Oliver planned. They also come bearing really bad news regarding Laurel and Iris.

Oliver's POV

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" I asked since Thea, John, Rene, Roy and Dinah just rushed into my bedroom. I was too pissed too be embarrassed about the fact that my friends and my sister would invade our privacy like that. Thankfully we weren't totally naked, but I could sense that Barry felt embarrassed so I pulled the covers up higher to shield us both.
"Sorry, Ollie. We had too. You've given us no choice." My sister snarled before she turned away from the door. "And please put some more clothes on and meet us downstairs." she added outside the room before she and the rest of the pack headed back downstairs again.
"I'm so sorry about that." I said to Barry when the pack had left the room. A voice in my head tried to say it's not Barry I should apologize too. I'm married, what the hell am I doing? But I was too affected by Barry's blood and poison to think straight. I got out of bed and grabbed my pants and started to get dressed.
  "Was it still worth it?" The vampire asked teasingly while he rolled out of bed too, still wearing my light blue shirt from before, and pulled his pants on too. "Or was this just a stupid mistake on an epic scale?" he added while I turned towards him to see him wearing a big smirk on his face as I walked around to his side of my bed with a smile spreading over my face as well.
  "Yeah, it probably was a stupid mistake, but it was definitely the best mistake I made in my entire life." I said before I claimed his lips in a quick but eager kiss. He was still smiling through our kiss which made me smile too and it caused our mouths to part. But then I cupped his face in my hands again when he leaned into another short and sweet kiss and how could I deny him anything? After the whole blood-sharing thing it felt as if I was bonded to him for life.
Once we've gathered our senses our mouths parted again and I threw on a t-shirt from a drawer and picked up my jacket from the floor before I grabbed his cold hand and headed out of my room and joined the angry pack of wolves downstairs. We got some angry glares when we entered the living-room and they noticed us holding hands, but I couldn't care less. Despite the buzz-kill I was still too affected by the beautiful vampire to care.
"We're not just here to lecture you about your responsibilities as an alpha, a prince, a husband and a father..." Dinah started which caused me to sigh deeply because I already knew all that. That I had let everyone in my life down, but this attraction to Barry was undeniable and it could not just be about the poison.
  But my sister almost cut Dinah off. "Ollie... something terrible has happened." she said and that's when I noticed tears welling up in her eyes. And I could tell something was terribly wrong. She didn't cry because I had been cheating on my wife. It was definitely something else. I could tell when Roy wrapped an arm around my sister's shoulders.
  "While you were busy screwing that..." he said with a nod in Barry's direction. "... your wife went missing." He finished the sentence my sister couldn't form into words and the room went completely silent. I dropped Barry's cold hand in an instant and took a few steps towards my pack.
  "What are you talking about?" I asked with fear and worry bubbling up inside of me. Laurel couldn't be missing. I would've sensed her being in danger.
"Yeah, you would've sensed it if you hadn't been high on vampire venom!" Rene pointed out which meant that he was definitely reading my thoughts. And I couldn't even look at Barry, the woman he loved was missing too and I felt so extremely guilty. Since I basically talked him into it. Both the incredible sex and the whole blood sharing thing. It's all my fault.
"Yeah it is all your fault. And that's just gross." Dinah said with a bitter taste to her words while she threw a look in poor Barry's direction. I exhaled deeply.
  "Stop reading my thoughts! Just explain what the hell happened? Where is my wife?" I asked with a furious voice filled with worry.
  Another worried voice cut through the silence. "And Iris?" Barry asked and I quickly glanced at him again, but he didn't even look at me. He probably felt just as guilty and ashamed over the hook-up.
"We got a phone call from Laurel's mother who said that they never arrived in Central. So we searched for them and found the car empty on the outskirts of Central City." John explained and I pulled a hand across my face and noticed that I was shaking and I didn't know how to form words.
  "What about Joe?" The vampire asked quietly and he finally managed to look at me and we exchanged a worried look.
  "He's fine, I drove him back when the Queen told me too and he got witness protection while he's staying with his lawyer friend." John explained to Barry who sighed in relief and pulled a hand through his very messy dark bed hair.
  "But I need to find Iris." He said with a panicked look on his pale face as he took a few steps towards the door, but John stepped in front of him to stop him.
"I think you've done enough for tonight. You need to head to Queen Kate, the vampire bat's, territory in Gotham. Although we heard that vampire Queen Kara Zorel and her husband Mon-El from our neighboring kingdom Night City would be there too since all the royals are quite intrigued to meet you." John clarified and the other wolves also moved to block the door to prevent the vampire from leaving the room.
  Barry sighed deeply and I noticed the rage increasing in him. "The woman I love is missing! Because I left her to protect her. I need to find her." He nearly shouted and I slowly approached him to place a hand on the smell of his back to calm him down.
  "And we will find them, Barry." I swore when he slowly turned towards me with a sad look in his red eyes. I held his magnetic gaze for a few seconds until the pack cleared their throats.
"Are you sure you want to find them?" Rene asked with a frown between his dark eyebrows and I gave him a dirty glare. "I'm just saying... if something happened to your wife you could just carry on with this bloodsucker." His words caused something to snap inside of me and I used my alpha voice to challenge the pack into obedience.
  "I am your alpha and ruler. Do not forget who has the power over you." I growled with my claws and teeth growing out and they all lowered their heads to show that they understood. "Good. Now let's go find my wife!" I added before we all left the mansion.
