Colby stretched as he walked down the hallway toward the kitchen, suddenly feeling himself growing hungry. As he turned the corner, he paused in his tracks. His sapphire eyes landed on two figures standing on the deck outside. Leaning back into the hallway, Colby peeked around the corner, watching and listening intently with his in human ability.

"I can't do this anymore, Elton," Corey sounded like he was crying and Colby had never heard him cry before, but it sure sounded like it, "After finding out about Colby practically being able to control us with his Alpha super powers and then being a lowlife Omega? And all the shit with being the monsters that we are? I'm tired of feeling this inability to control myself constantly! I'm always on edge! If I was still dating Devyn, God! I don't want to think about what I could do to her if I did lose control! I fucking can't do this!" Corey was in hysterics with his voice getting more higher pitched as he spoke, "I can't do this!"

Colby watched as Elton's figure came into frame through the small view that the sliding glass doors gave Colby. Elton walked up closely to Corey, placing a hand on the other males shoulder in a very intimate gesture, "You got this, Corey. We all do. Everything will be okay as long as we are together."

"You don't understand, Elton," Corey cried, raising his arms and wrapping them around Elton tightly, burrowing his nose into the side of Elton's neck.

Colby could feel all the pain and sorrow coming from the pair, as his Alpha sensitivity to the pack picked up on it. It saddened the wolf inside of Colby as he thought about how every single pack member was dealing with pain and depression in some way. They were all confused and they didn't know how to handle this new change and it was driving them into madness.

"I do," Elton purred into Corey's ear, tightly holding onto him, "I do, Corey. Because I feel it to. Everyday and night I feel that pain. I feel out of control constantly, even when the full moon is not near."

"How do you always seem in control then?" Corey asked softly.

"Because I remember that I have Colby and Sam and Aaron and Jake with me going through the same exact thing I am. I remember you, most of all. You're one of the closest people I have, Corey," there was pause in Elton's words before he spoke again, speaking so quietly that Colby could barely hear him, "If you go anywhere, I don't know what I'd do."

Without warning, Corey surged forward and connected his lips with Elton's. His hand fell through the other man's dark locks of hair, pulling Elton's head closer to his, as a slight gasp escaped from one of their lips. Colby's eyes widened in shock at the two and he was just about to turn back towards his and Sam's room when Corey pulled away from Elton. There was a soft smile on Corey's face and the first one that Colby had seen from Corey since before their attack.

"I'm not going anywhere, Elton," Corey whispered, leaning his forehead against Elton's own, "Not without you."

Elton smiled softly too and shut his eye, nuzzling into the places the two were touching. Colby slowly began to back away, wanting to give the two some privacy. He tiptoed down the hallway and entered his and Sam's room, shutting the door quietly.

Sam looked up from his research on his computer and gave a puzzled look, "I thought you were going to get food?"

"I couldn't," Colby replied, coming over to sit in his spot by his laptop next to Sam, "Corey and Elton were out on the deck, Sam," he told the blonde, "Talking softly to each other and all."

"So?" Sam replied still giving a confused expression.

"They were really intimate, dude," Colby told, "Like, they... kissed... intimate."

"Seriously?" Sam asked slightly surprised.

Colby nodded, "I don't understand it. They never seem interested in each other, outside of the small gay jokes they made on TFIL."

Sam thought for a moment, "Well, since werewolf eyes are determined by what our prime personality traits are, then maybe the genes heighten the attraction we feel towards someone?" Sam paused before looking into Colby's eyes, "Even if we aren't aware of it."

Colby nodded again, "It's quite possible that is a similar effect. But, what do we do, Sam?"

Sam shrugged, "Let them be I guess. I know that if we were human and normal, we all would treat them like we would treat any other couple, but as werewolves we have to consider the pack's dynamics. I don't know how our wolves are gonna take it."

Colby sighed, "So much is going on, Sam. I don't know what to do about it all."

"Well, you better figure it out, dude," Sam replied, "You're the Alpha and whatever you say or do, we follow no matter what."

The brunette only groaned in response.
