I Can Love You Like That | Stray Kids

Chapter 29

Once Beta Thom made it to the Blue Glacier pack, he was greeted by the pack members with smiles on their faces, waving as he walked by. His mate was waiting on the front steps of their house when he arrived.

Unlike Red Moon, Blue Glacier is a bit more updated as far as the way they live. Even though there is electricity at both packs, Red Moon didn't utilize it much as they intended to keep their members hidden from the outside world for fear of them leaving the pack. That meant no phones, television shows and movies were limited to what Dorian had deemed fit, which included music, and they still had to do laundry by hand, hanging up their clothes via clothesline. Blue Glacier didn't do any of that. Alpha Hintal wanted his pack members to be able to have free will to do what they wanted. If a member wanted to move to the city, Hintal would let them, even encouraging them to explore life outside of the pack, and he always welcomed his members with open arms if they decided to move back.

Thom walked up the steps to the house when Hintal held out his hand. The beta glanced at the gesture and placed his hand onto the alpha's. They smiled at each other and walked inside.

"I'm so glad you're home, baby." Hintal closed the door and hugged his mate after he turned around.

"Me too." Thom replied while hugging back. He broke the hug to lean in and kiss his mate, having missed him even though it's only been a couple of weeks since they last saw each other.

They broke the kiss, and Hintal breathed out, "I missed you so much." Caressing Thom's soft cheek. He sighed, not wanting to rush anything, but he needed to get the ball rolling so that they could finally take down Dorian. "Now, while you were on your way here, I took the liberty of calling the other packs."

Thom's eyes widened. "Are we starting now? What about the treaty?" He didn't want Dorian mad at him. Goddess only knows what he'd do to the beta.

"I never intended to sign that treaty, baby. I needed you back home so we can talk to the other alpha's about what to do next. They are in my office as we speak." Hintal said. "I'm not sending you back to that damn pack. No one deserves to live there."

Thom smiled at hearing his alpha's words. He leaned in to kiss his mate again, smiling when he broke the short, sweet kiss. "Lead the way, then, big boy." He wrapped his hand around Hintal's arm, and the alpha led them to his office.

Dorian was excited at hearing that the scouters found Jisung. It just sucked that Thom had to go see Alpha Hintal at a time like this. He should be here so I can leave to go get the dumb omega, he thought, rolling his eyes.

On his search for Beta Rex, he ran into Joyho, who seemed to be walking aimlessly, like he didn't have any idea of where he wanted to go. "Hey, they found Jisung. Do you want to go with me to find Rex? We're going to work on a plan to get him and Felix back."

Joyho looked at him, astonished. Did he really just ask that? Dameon hasn't been gone long, and I really need a distraction, but this isn't it, he thought.

When he took too long to answer, Dorian rolled his eyes and grabbed Joyho's arm. "Let's go." He huffed. "Dameon's death has changed you, Joyho."

Are you fucking shitting me right now? His mind was going into overdrive. He stopped in his tracks, giving Dorian a death glare. "Of course his death has changed me. I am grieving, Dorian. Do you understand that?" He scoffed when the pack alpha just looked at him displeased, "Of course you don't. You're too far up Jisung's omega ass to smcare about anyone else. You're set on taking someone away from their soulmate, for goddess sake! What the fuck is wrong with you?!" He yelled, gaining attention of the people around them as they had made it outside and not far from Dorian's house.
