"Do you think they are going to be ok?" Yunho asked from where he was sitting on the bed.

Jongho sighed and shook his head. "Aren't they always? But I can't believe Wooyoung messed up like this..."

Yunho just chuckled before grabbed Jongho's hand and pulling him into the bed. "Are you really that surprised? Honestly, I'm surprised he didn't mess up sooner."

Jongho hummed and wrapped his arms around his mate, hugging him from behind. "I know."

"Jongho, I can hear you pouting, what's wrong." Yunho asked trying to twist to see his alpha. He had a theory as to why Jongho was being so odd, but he still wanted to hear it for himself.

"Nothing, I'm just being silly and protective." Jongho sighed and buried his face in between Yunho's shoulders. "I just get worried when things like this get brought up. If we hadn't caught on..."

Yunho felt his heart breaking a little at the pain in Jongho's voice. His theory had been right. Jongho's wolf had locked into the fact that if they hadn't caught on that Wooyoung was in pre-heat, and his heat actually hit him, then he would have to be knotted by all four alphas. And none of them knew if Avayla's wolf would latch onto that either since it had never been by an omega in heat before.

No one wanted Wooyoung to have to go through something like that again.

The beta turned to face his alpha and kissed his nose. "You're not silly, love. You're just worried about someone you love, it's ok."

Jongho looked up at him with big, round eyes and nodded. "I'm sorry, I don't mean to be this way."

"When have I ever been upset about you loving Youngie?" Yunho asked, extending his neck to kiss the mark he left on Jongho's shoulder.

He smiled when he felt the deep rumble come from Jongho's chest. "I don't deserve you, and I never will." Jongho hummed, hugging Yunho tighter.

"No, probably not, but you're still stuck with me." The beta said, kissing the mark again. "He's going to be fine. You know San will take care of him."

"Yeah, I know."

Yunho chuckled again as the concern started to fade away from his alpha.

They had other things they needed to think about anyway.

The next day, he, Jongho, and Hongjoong all got into a car to take the deer pelts and meat into down. They stopped by Kenneth's shop to sell to him first and stayed to chat with Maria for a little bit. She promised she would be by in the next couple of days to check up on Yeosang.

After that, they ran to the small general store. It didn't have a large variety, but it usually had what they needed.

Yunho scanned over the list Seonghwa had given him and picked a few items off the shelves. A lot of non-perishable items filled the cart. They liked to stock up just in case.

When he got to the medicine, he turned to Jongho. "What did Antoine want?"

"I think he just wanted some basic cold medicine. I know we won't get much more than that here. It'll be a start for them at least."

The beta nodded as he picked up something labeled that it was for cold and flu. The fact that this store even carried human medication was great because it saved them a long drive to the nearest city.

Hopefully it was what Laura needed to get better.

"Jongho, do you want to go with me to visit the Grey's again?" Hongjoong asked as they unloaded the groceries.
