The next morning, the kids gathered for breakfast, but one person was missing.
Bora : "Jeonghan, Joshua, where's Seungcheol?"
Joshua : "Mom, Alpha said he'll join us later."
Jeonghan just nodded.
Meanwhile, in the palace garden, Seungcheol sat under a tree, mind-linking with his wolf, Coups.
Seungcheol : "I hope there won't be any danger for our mates."
Coups : "Hey, Cheol, don't worry. We'll protect our mates at any cost."
Just then, Minjun, Seungcheol's father, appeared and touched his shoulder. Seungcheol looked up and asked, "Dad, what are you doing here? You didn't eat breakfast."
Minjun : "I was going to eat, but I noticed you weren't there, so I came to see you. What's going on in your mind? Maybe I can help."
Coups shared Seungcheol's concerns about Jeonghan and Joshua's safety.
Minjun : "Cheol, I'm sorry to say, but my heart tells me there might be something waiting for you all."
Seungcheol : "Then why did you give us permission to go?"
Minjun : "First, I couldn't resist my pups, and second, I want my pups to be strong like me. Life as a head alpha is challenging, and I had to overcome many struggles to protect my omega my pups and our pack ."
Seungcheol understood, "You want us to face problems."
Minjun : "Yes, Cheol. I want you to be stronger than me."
Seungcheol: "Okay, Dad, I'll be stronger like you."
Minjun: "More than me."
Coups: "Yes... And someone is whining because you're not there, Dad."
Seungcheol: "He'll be whining even more when he gets his own omega."
Minjun: "He's still a baby, Cheol."
Coups: "Yes, I love my brother so much!"
Seungcheol: "Don't baby him."
Minjun and Coups: "You shut up, Cheol!"
Seungcheol: "Okay, okay. Now let's go eat breakfast."
Seungcheol, Minjun, and Coups headed to the dining hall, where the rest of the group was waiting.
Hansol, still pouting, looked up and saw his dad and brother arrived.
Hansol : "Finally, you both are here! I was starving!"
Minjun chuckled and ruffled Hansol's hair. "Sorry, bear. We were just having a chat."
Bora smiled, happy to see her family together. "Now that we're all here, let's eat and get ready for trip to Granny's house!"
The group dug into their breakfast, excited for their adventure.
As they finished up, Minjun reminded them, "Remember, stay together, and don't go anywhere alone. And don't forget the pack wolves will be with you for protection."
Seungcheol nodded, taking responsibility. "Got it, Dad. We'll be careful."
With their bags packed and spirits high, the kids set off towards Granny's house, ready for a fun-filled holiday.
After five hours of traveling, the group finally arrived at their destination. Minjun had already informed his mother that the kids were coming, so Granny had everything ready for them.
As they approached the house, Seungcheol exclaimed, "Everything looks different!"
Mingyu : "But Granny's house still looks the same."
Seokmin : "After what happened last time, I didn't think we'd be back here again."
Wonwoo : "What happened here? What incident?"
Jihoon : "It's a long story. We'll tell you when night falls."
Soonyoung : "Hansol, you've been here before. Why don't you share the story with us?"
Jun : "Soonie, Hansol since he returned to the palace many things happend. He probably forgot to tell us."
Hansol nodded in agreement. "Yes, hyungs."
Jeonghan : "You're making us more curious! Tell us now!"
Soonyoung : "We'll tell you everything later hyung. I'm hungry now.
Jihoon : "Where's Granny?"
Hansol : "Maybe she's in the pack den."
Seungcheol : "I'll try to mind-link Granny. Coups, can you reach her?"
Coups : "I've got it, Granny. We've arrived."
Seungcheol : "Granny's on her way."
A minute later, Granny arrived at the pack house. The kids bowed to her, and she returned the gesture.
Granny greeted them warmly. "Hello, kids!"
Seungcheol and Hansol hugged their granny tightly.
Seungcheol : "How are you, Granny?
Joshua admired the surroundings. "It's beautiful here, and the nature is stunning!"
Granny warned them, "Beautiful but dangerous.
Kids : "Huh!".
Granny : Don't worry, I just wanted to scare you all."
Hansol's stomach growled. "Okay, what's for lunch? I'm hungry."
Granny smiled. "First, take a bath, and then we'll have lunch. I've arranged rooms for you all. Mated wolves will share rooms with their mates, unmated wolves will share with the alphas in one room, and omegas in another room, all on the first floor. The rest of you can choose your rooms on the second floor. Now, dismiss!"
