Twenty minutes later, Hobi pulled up to their location, and they climbed into his car. They might have been a tad bit drunk and giggly. "Did you guys really drink with no protection around?"

"We haven't seen any other wolves in years, Hobi," Tae whined.

Vegas has no other packs besides theirs, but that doesn't mean wolves don't come there to visit. They are just tourists, so they tend to stay where the tourists are. They are usually okay if their pack stays away from the strip. But it still worries them; it's their job to protect their Omegas. 

"I know that, but we still worry about you guys. And now there are three of you to protect, and two are unmarked. If you guys want to go out, call one of us to be there with you, please, for me?"

Kris started to tear up. She'd only been here a few days, and everyone had fully accepted her into this pack. Maybe she should stay. She'd get to be closer to her sister, and that would be nice, and Jin seems like he'd be a great mate. "Are you okay, Kris?"

She turned to head to look at Tae; his eyes were full of worry. "I'm fine; I've never had this before—a pack, people that care. The closest I ever came was that year I lived with Mandy and her Dad. But even they were removed from other wolves mostly."

He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her against his chest. "Well, you are stuck with us. Even if you weren't Jin's mate, we wouldn't want to let you go."

"Thank you," she mumbled against his chest as she sniffled.

"We're home drunkies," Hobi sang. When they left the car, he walked over to Kris, "I didn't tell Jin that I was picking you up. I didn't want him to freak out and go all Alpha." Hobi chuckled, "I'm having a hard enough time getting him to work nowadays. He's too fixated on you."

Kris blushed, "it's that bad?"

Hobi snorted, "All day, all I hear is. Do you think Kris would like this? Or did you see her at breakfast? She was so cute. I want her to wear my clothes all the time so other people know she's taken. Do you think I can sneak my hoodie on her every day?" Hobi squeezed her shoulder before he wrapped his arm around her, "He's ridiculous, and it's adorable. He's smitten with you."

Her nose scrunched up, "did you just say smitten? What is this the 1950s?"

"Well, I didn't want to say he was in love with you and freak you out, so smitten it is."

"Oh," she whispered with her eyes wide in shock. This is twice now that someone has said that Jin loves her.

Hobi booped her nose, "Yeah, oh. Now go work on your nest."

"How did you know?"

He pointed to the bag she held, "I'm married to Kat; I know nest material when I see it. I bought her a heated blanket the other day, and let's say she was pleased about it." He winked at her and walked off before she realized what he was talking about.

"Gross Hobi!" She yelled at him as she ran to catch up with him.

When she walked into the house after the Beta, the Omegas had already busted out the alcohol.  "Come on, Hobi, be our bartender!"

"I am most certainly not going to be your bartender you lush, your Alpha will kill me and what would Kat say if I got your ass drunk?"

Jimin started to pout, which caused Tae to pout as well, and then, because Hobi had the worst luck ever, Kris jumped in. Now, he had three Omegas who were blackmailing him. He heard a snicker from his left and saw Mandy and Kat there. Mandy had some shopping bags in her hand, and Kat grinned from ear to ear. "Mandy, go put your shit up, and let's get lit."

"Kat, look what I got you!" Kat looked at the wobbly Omega and walked over to her. Kris reached into her shopping bag on the floor and waved an adorable plushie in the air. "I got this for your nest. Isn't it the cutest? Well, not as cute as mine." Then she pulled out a stuffed alpaca.

"No, mine are the cutest," Tae yelled as he pulled out his two plushies. 

That caused Jimin to get all huffy, "Clearly, mine are the cutest, look."

Mandy walked in on the three Omegas. Having a mine is better than yours war, and the two Betas looked like they were two seconds from freaking out. "Babies, all of yours are adorable. Go put them in your nests, and Hobi and I will start the party."

The nest lovers took off with their new goodies, and Mandy and Hobi pulled out the snacks and mixers. They had everything out by the time the four came back. Kat sat down on the barstool and leaned her arms onto the countertop before clapping her hands. "Hobi's the bartender tonight."

Hobi rolled his eyes and started mixing their drink requests and pouring them shots. By the time everyone rolled in an hour later, those five were pretty toasted, and Hobi was mildly freaking out. 

Kris smelled her Alpha, the scent of maraschino cherries and almonds. She turned her head to see Jin standing there. "Alpha," she cried before she launched herself into his arms. Jin's eyes went wide as she wrapped herself around him and shoved her face right into his neck.

"Hey baby, are you having fun?" She nodded her head against his neck. He could feel her breath breezing over his scent gland, and it made goosebumps rise all over his body. "What all did you do today besides rope Hobi into getting you drunk?"

Kris pulled back and grinned a bit before she hiccuped, "We went shopping." Her eyes got big, and she squeezed Jin's shoulders. "Do you want to see what I bought for my nest?"

Jin smiled his million-dollar smile, "Of course, I do, baby. Nothing would make your Alpha happier than seeing your nest."
