SHELTER (YoonSeok)

5

The three young Alphas had yet to come back. At the moment, the Pack Alpha and Pack Omega were relaxing near the fire pit.

"I don't know if we're ready for more.", Jin said, leaning his head on Namjoon's shoulder while the pups ran around them, chasing each other.

"I think we'll be just fine. You know I've always wanted a big family."

"We have a big family. We have Sehun, Baekhyun, Jimin, Taehyung, and Jungkook."

Namjoon sighed. "Jin, we don't have children who are actually related to us. I'm tired of waiting. How long do we have left, you know?"

Jin slapped the Alpha's chest. "I'm not that old!"

Nothing more was said about the topic. Namjoon knew full well that Jin wanted to have pups of their own just as much as he did but of course he didn't push it. Namjoon's rut was coming soon anyway. Jin won't be able to resist him then.

Namjoon and Jin looked over to see Yoongi and the Omega from last night.

"Nice of you to join us, Yoongi.", Jin said shortly, not paying attention to Hoseok.

Hoseok hesitantly sat down in front of the Pack Alpha and Pack Omega. Yoongi plopped down casually next to him.

"His name is Hoseok. He's my mate now."

Namjoon beamed. "Congratulations, Yoongi! It's nice to meet you, Hoseok. I'm Namjoon, Pack Alpha. This is my mate, Jin."

Hoseok smiled back at him. "It's nice to meet you too." He looked over at the Omega who hadn't uttered a word to him. "Hello. You are very pretty."

Jin looked up at that. "Thank you." That was all he said before looking towards the pups to check on them.

"Do you accept him into the pack, Namjoon?"

"Oh yeah, of course I do. Welcome to the BTS Pack, Hoseok."

Hoseok couldn't be happier. He had never felt so loved and accepted and he hadn't even been in the pack for more than a day. Now, his goal was to get Jin to like him.

Yoongi and Namjoon were out hunting for some lunch. The other three Alphas were able to come back with a couple squirrels, but with a new member of the pack, they needed more food. They had only managed to catch a few more squirrels but it was enough for the rest of the day. The two friends were about to head back when a strange, somewhat revolting, smell hit his nose.

"What the hell? Namjoon, when is your next rut?", Yoongi asked.

Namjoon laughed. "Probably sometime within the next few days. Why?"

"I can smell you and it's not pleasant. I don't understand how Omegas like that."

"It's not my fault." Namjoon playfully swatted his paw on Yoongi's ear.

Yoongi ignored it and kept walking until they came to the small mound of dirt. They had buried their prey so they wouldn't have to carry it around the rest of the time while they were hunting.

The two Alphas shifted back to their human forms so they could pick up their prey easily then started heading back to camp.

"Do you think Jin is going to want to give you pups this time?", the older asked.

"I think he'll agree once he's affected by my pheromones."

"Wow.", Yoongi said flatly.

"What? He wants pups anyway."

Yoongi rolled his eyes and the two continued on in silence.

Once they entered the camp, they could here Jungkook and Jimin yelling at each other, which was odd because they didn't normally fight.

"We're both wrong!"

"What are you saying? I'm not wrong."

"Whatever, Jungkook. Taehyung wouldn't want either of us anyway. He's an Alpha. Like us. So we shouldn't want him either."

There was silence as the two arguing Alpha's noticed Namjoon and Yoongi had come back and dropped their fresh kill beside the others.

"What were you guys arguing about?", Namjoon asked, curious.

"Nothing. We're fine.", Jimin hastily said.

"Okay, good. Where are Jin and Hoseok?", Namjoon asked.

"Jin went to the river to bathe Sehun and Baekhyun. Hoseok went with him to help.", Jungkook said.

Namjoon nodded. "Alright. It's good to see they are finally getting along. Right Yoongi?"

Yoongi just nodded, not sure if Namjoon was correct.
