Yoongi woke up when it was still dark in the cave. The sun was displaying its first rays of light outside, illuminating the mist reigning over the woods and the tip of the mountains. Even if the hot season was approaching, the nights were chilly and the early mornings just as cold. He had Jimin sticking to his side with his mouth slightly open, letting hot regular breath hit his chest. One leg was over his hip and an arm was around his neck. The alpha struggled to remove all of Jimin's limbs from him without waking him up, but he managed his way out of the omega's grasp eventually.

He sat on the edge of his bed and threw a look around making sure all his mates were sound asleep. Hoseok had joined Jin late last night. From the muffled noises he heard, they wouldn't be rising for breakfast this morning. Taehyung was all over Namjoon, just like Jimin was with him. Only the beta had a strong hold on the alpha's arm, choking it for dear life. He noticed the missing pair, his newest addition, and his warrior. With hopeful thoughts for the both of them, he decided he would check on them before breakfast. He addressed Jimin first because he wanted to avoid waking two of his mates unnecessarily but the omega had other plans.

"You don't want to make breakfast?" Yoongi inquired when he was met with a stubborn omega.

"Noo, I want to sleep." Jimin whined, eyes closed and turning to the other side of the bed.

"Alright baby, you don't have to be a brat about it."

The alpha sighed and looked at Jin. Their best cook, but he refused to tire the beta for this simple task. He approached the wolves that presented a menace in the kitchen. Yoongi was about to wake Taehyung, the least dangerous one of them. Until he figured he might as well just make breakfast and take it to the wild wolves later, they would probably be sleeping anyway.

The smell of eggs and deer meat woke the whole pack eventually. Even a groggy Jin joined the table while he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes. Yoongi beckoned him to sit on his lap and scented him for a few minutes before feeding him some pears. Finally, the head alpha padded Jin's thigh, inviting him to get up and announced his departure to the woods. He grabbed the bowl he had prepared and started his journey to the camp. When he arrived, he was met with the beautiful sight of a sleeping Amala, curled up in a quilt and Jungkook behind her hugging her for warmth. He could only see her hair sticking out of the blanket. Even though she was facing him, her whole body was covered and he suddenly felt bad he didn't think of the cold she would have to endure in the woods.

"Breakfast is here, come on both of you, it's time to wake up." Yoongi barked at them while putting the food next to them.

Jungkook growled and snapped his eyes open, an annoyed expression on his face. Amala grumbled under the thick fur and stayed still, not moving an inch. Jungkook infiltrated an arm under the warm blanket and ran his hand up and down her naked waist. He loved the deep curve she had when she was lying sideways. On the other hand, Amala wasn't one to enjoy this small gesture of affection, solely because of his ice-cold hands. She whined and tried to get away from him, but he pulled her over closer to his chest and kissed the top of her head multiple times. Yoongi had just re-ignited the fire and he put the food on it to heat.

"Alpha, I really can't move, I'm sore all over." Amala complained when Yoongi joined the youngest alpha in puckering her out of the blanket.

She left the made-up bed after a lot of coaxing and tickling and was fed and massaged by both alphas. She appreciated the attention that she received every time she was taken by one of them and profited from it whenever she could get it. Afterward, each one of them went to their chores to get the day going. while she rested in her nest with Jimin knitting a sweater and Jin mixing up some solutions to keep her company.

A few days passed with the same routine. Amala was still sore to the point everyone doubted she was faking everything and Hoseok joked he was offended he didn't have such an impact on her. But she was simply not in the mood for activities. She went to the nursery every morning and stayed for a couple of hours before returning. Jimin and Jin covered for the fact that she was returning alone despite being scolded by Jungkook for that same reason. On the fifth day, Taehyung was feeling feverish, so he returned from his duties earlier, just about half an hour before she returned.
