"So what happens now?" Yunho asked Jongho as they sat on the back deck. The alpha was still having a hard time controlling his emotions so he had excused himself from the house and Yunho had dutifully followed him.

He reached over to grab his mates hand to try and calm him down.

"I don't know." Jongho growled. "I don't even know what I'm thinking right now." He groaned and pinched the bridge of his nose. "My head hurts."

Yunho moved to kneel in front of him and kissed his hands. "I know it's hard."

"All of my instincts are telling me to go and rip his throat out for touching Wooyoung. But I also know that I can't because he is part of our pack now. This is all so new to me. I don't know how to handle it." Jongho's hands started shaking and Yunho squeezed them.

"You're doing fine so far. It's in an alpha's nature to be jealous and possessive. Wooyoung makes it easier to bring those out, trust me, I know. Chan used not let me see him around heat time. Plus... It's obvious that San is drawn to him too. I know he won't hurt him."

Jongho growled but then sighed. "I know that too. I didn't mean for us to mate. I didn't know that was even a thing."

"I didn't either, but Wooyoung followed his instincts and it worked. That's part of who we are. We need to trust our inner wolf. What is yours telling you now?"

Jongho smiled at him and then closed his eyes. Yunho felt his wolf stirring as he watched his alpha concentrate.

"To trust San." He answered after a few minutes.

Yunho brought his hands to his lips and kissed them. "I trust him too. He has helped us so much over the past few days. So go easy on him." He chuckled as Jongho pouted a little.

Then he stretched out and kissed him. He had been dying to do that for hours now. Jongho instantly pulled him up so that he could straddle him and slipped his hands under his shirt.

"He seems to be handling things well." Yeosang said, walking away from the window.

"Yeah, I'm surprised. I don't think I could handle anyone else being with you." Hongjoong pulled him into a hug and nuzzled his mark. "Although they are a very strange pack, that's for sure."

Yeosang chuckled and kissed Hongjoong's forehead before pulling away and rummaging in the fridge. The alpha let out a little whine but stayed put. "Yes, but I don't' see anything wrong with that. It seems like they all had a hard past, sometimes that makes bonds stronger."

"True. But still." Hongjoong hugged his beta from behind. "I don't want to share you with anyone, so I'm glad we don't have to deal with that."

"You're such a baby." Yeosang rolled his eyes and put up with his clingy alpha as he tried to prepare for something to eat.

Seonghwa huffed as he waited for Mingi to get out of the shower. He wanted to talk to him in private about his attitude, but he was taking forever to come out of the bathroom.

He tapped his foot when he heard the water stop, but ten minutes passed and the alpha still didn't come out.

So Seonghwa marched over to the door and pounded on it. "Mingi, get out here now, I need to talk to you!"
