The truth cannot be hidden for long so after that dinner Hoseok revealed how he knew the bloody Leader. Namjoon was standing behind him hands on his shoulders providing him with some comfort as the other members –minus Jimin- gasped and rubbed their foreheads at the news

"Well... this makes it messy..." Seunghwan sighed as he pressed his forehead on his hands

"I'm sorry..." Hoseok said and bowed his head "I really didn't know who he was until today. I hadn't seen him before so I thought he was some Alpha from another city. We had never seen his face before so I didn't know"

"It's alright Hoseok." Seunghwan said and patted the boy's knee "You were in need and you didn't know. Thank God you didn't let him mate you, these guys treat Omegas awful. I pity them..." he said

"They are stuck in the old ways" Yoongi spoke "Of course they'll treat them bad... I know they let them work outside the house but they are obliged to stay in the pack house."

"Poor Omegas..." Jimin sighed and cuddled further into his mates "I'm lucky we guys aren't like them" he said and nuzzled his nose onto Jungkook's sleeve

"We have brains... we'll never treat anyone like they treat their Omegas. We never have and we never will" Jhogwhan said and placed his hand on his mates shoulder

"How come they have so many members now?" Namjoon asked as Hoseok intertwined their fingers "I thought they'd be few like us"

"They were..." Jin said and as he bit his lip "But they have an open policy to turning humans into werewolves. Those three were the previous Leader's right hand men, they are the ones who do all the 'recruiting'" Taehyung was holding his hand tightly trying to channel some comfort "One of them bit me and then left me for dead. They find pleasure in playing with their 'recruits'. Thank God they thought I'd be weak and left me for dead or else I'd be a part of that horrid pack by now"

"We don't turn people like this." Seunghwan said raising his head "Being a werewolf is not an easy job. Being a werewolf in a pack with a vendetta is even worse. You can't take a person with a normal life and give them this. Especially if they don't want it" he said and leaned back on the chair

"This is a touchy subject" Jhogwhan said "We have discussed it many times with the previous Leader. The moral line between who you can turn and who not blurry. The bite has proven to heal most diseases. Your mother" he said and looked at Taehyung "
had cancer when the Leader bit her. She was healed by it and joined the pack, mated your dad and then... it happened"

Namjoon made a mental note to ask Hoseok what that it was when they'd get to bed. He guessed it was something not that pretty and for the first time he noticed that the only "elders" were his parents. It didn't take long to understand some sort of massacre had happened but he still wanted the details and he knew Hoseok would tell him, if not Jin would.

"So if someone with that background asks you for the bite then... sure." Jhogwhan continued "Their life is already shitty. But what if that one person is not suitable for your pack? What if they are toxic? Can't you heal them and let them go rogue? You can if you want to but that's not right. You have let an inexperienced wolf on the loose and have declined your responsibility as a pack figure."
