Healing Strays

Chapter 4

Nari grumbles to herself. today had not been the greatest. Waking up had been a bit embarrassing, and she'd had to calm Jisung down when he'd worried about her dropping so quickly the night before. She hadn't meant to, but having another omega take charge had just been so liberating. The weights that had held her down since coming back to Korea finally removing themselves from her neck. The safety was just so all-encompassing that she'd fallen right into her omega head space. When they'd left for practice and Jisung had heavily scented her, she almost dropped again. So content to just feel looked after. He'd fussed again, but she'd assured him she'd be fine.

That was before her information had been leaked and she'd started receiving nonstop calls. The knocks are her door had also been ridiculous. The building security had had to call in extra help with how overwhelmed they'd gotten. She just knew she was going to be getting a politely worded letter suggesting she move elsewhere shortly. Another set of knocks comes from the door and she starts growling, hands reaching up to grab her hair. It was all jsut getting to be a bit too much.

Unlike before, the knocking doesn't go away and a doorbell starts to echo with it. Growling deeper she stalks to the front door. Her instincts making her forget to check the peep hole before yanking it open.

The growl dies in her throat as she comes face to face with one of the alphas from last night. Minho raises a single brow at her before moving into the room, two other younger men following behind him nervously. Her brain goes a bit fuzzy and there's a sigh next to her before arms wrap around her, "Come here, whiney omega. You look all out of sorts."

She's lifted up, head moving to someone's shoulder and she can feel herself deflate, letting the emotions wash over her. A whine falls from her lips again, her nose shifting to press against his scent gland and she finds herself mouthing at the exposed collarbone. She can feel them sit down, the arms starting to move up and down her back as the person above her starts to try to shush her whines. She releases his skin with a pop, curling her head under his chin as she starts to sob, the emotions form today just getting to be too much.

There're whines on both sides of her and the room starts to fill with calming scents as more hands start to rub up and down her back. A wrist is pressed under her nose, and she wraps her arms around it, yanking until a body falls into her and she's gripping onto them, gulping down the pheromones flowing off their skin. There're some squeaks at her actions, and then some loud purrs as the person starts to rub his scent all over her.

It takes a bit, but Nari is able to calm down as the scents help her omega settle. Her head lists sideways, resting against Minho's chest and she blinks her eyes open slowly. The man sitting in front of her gives her a fox-like grin as he continues to rub his scent up and down her sides. "You back with us?" he whispers softly.

She nods. "Good." Minho says above her, "I didn't want to have to tell Jisung that his omega was upset after meeting two other members of our pack."

"No no no..." Nari starts, scrambling over herself to assure them that it had nothing to do with them.

"Hyung is kidding." The other man behind her says, his hand resting on her lower back, "He's trying to crack jokes, so no one realizes how scared he was."

Minho growls at the man, "Watch it Seungmin."

Seungmin shrugs, lifting his nose in the air, "I'm not wrong."

"He's not." The other man whispers, pulling Nari's attention back to the other side, "I'm Jeongin, by the way."

Minho sighs, "Yes yes.. Nari meet our youngest betas. Seungmin is a menace, Jeongin is a bit better."
