Max had explained everything to the pack, aside from the details of course, so they all understood why he did what he did.
He didn't tell them about his kiss with Daniel, but that was no one's business but theirs.
He knew he was getting suspicious looks though. Lando had waggled his eyebrows at him a couple of times too when he caught Max and Daniel being particularly close.
It hadn't stayed with that one kiss. But they didn't have that many yet either.
Max wasn't ready for anything serious. Especially not after what happened in the Verstappen pack, but, being with Daniel always felt comfortable. Comfortable enough for hugs and kisses, but, not in front of the pack. Not yet.
Daniel was extremely understanding. Max sometimes thought the Alpha was just too good for him, but Daniel never wanted to hear that.
In other good news, Carlos had messaged Lando and told him he was coming over. With a surprise.
Now, telling Lando that he had a surprise was probably a mistake on Carlos' part, because now he kept on sending him the question of what the surprise was.
Carlos ignored those messages, which of course pissed Lando off a little, but he could never stay mad for long.
Especially not when he was on his way over. With a surprise.
Meanwhile Lewis and Nico had been growing closer and closer too. Lewis was getting more and more cuddly and more often than not, the both of them fell asleep on the couch in the living room.
Valtteri had been watching them with a watchful eye. Always protective over Lewis.
But he had to admit, Nico's arrival - and stay - had been good for Lewis. It had made the beta come out of his shell way more than he used to.
But of course..... Sometimes good things come to an end.
Way too soon.
Charles woke up one morning, not feeling himself.
He was just extra clingy, whining when Pierre wanted to get out of bed.
Pierre, knowing Charles as well as he knew himself, immediately knew what this meant.
"Mon petit Charlot," he murmured soothingly as he stroked his fingers through Charles' hair. "I think you're in pre-heat."
"Non," Charles whined, his face pressed into Pierre's chest. "I don't want to go into heat."
Pierre sighed and stared up at the ceiling. It wasn't like he was fond of Charles' heats, because he knew he would never completely satisfy him because he didn't have the alpha knot. He didn't have a knot at all.
"Pierrot..." Charles whimpered, feeling not only his own, but also Pierre's distress now. "I'm only yours."
Pierre smiled sadly, "I know. Come on, calamar. Let's take a shower and go downstairs, okay?"
Charles nodded into Pierre's chest, then let himself be half carried into the bathroom.
They took each other's boxers off and got into the shower.
When they got downstairs and into the dining room where the rest of the pack was having breakfast, Pierre was reminded of how much harder Charles' heat period would be to endure this time.
Not only were there the pack Alphas, now there were Daniel and Nico too. Even Carlos might make it there in time for Charles' heat.
Kimi and Valtteri's eyes were onto the pair as soon as they came through the door. They could already tell what time it was.
