Once Wooyoung was healed enough that he could walk again, they started getting ready to leave. He was still incredibly sore and couldn't stay standing for long... but he was ready to leave this place and get home to his baby girl, so he insisted on leaving.

Seonghwa was unable to deny him, especially once Wooyoung wore him down with constant nagging.

They were given a wagon to transport him in, which Jongho and Seonghwa said they didn't mind pulling.

He was still to weak to access a shift... His wolf cowered away from it every time he tried... So the journey home was going to be a long one, but they would make it work.

Mingi and Hongjoong acted as guards, keeping an eye on their surroundings as they traveled.

After Rex's death, the bears were run out of the territory and ordered to never come back. Additional security had been set up at the pack city just in case.

It also came out that Rex was part bear, and that's why he was so strong and was able to control them... Which all made perfect sense in Wooyoung's mind.

At least it was over now.

The wagon was layered with blankets and pillows, and both Yeosang and San snuggled up next to him.

Wooyoung was so happy to be reunited with them again. Yeosang had suddenly become very protective of him, and he knew it was the omega instincts and the older's wolf reacting to what had happened.

San was just as protective as ever and only left his side to be with Jongho for a little bit.

They both proudly showed off their mating marks and everyone was thrilled to see that San had dropped his walls and finally let the young alpha in.

It had lightened the mood for everyone, and brought a lot of joy to the pack.

As they got closer to home, Mingi especially started to get more and more anxious. It had to be so hard for him to be the only one with out his mate there, even though Wooyoung and Seonghwa weren't technically mated anymore.

The trip seemed to take forever, but finally the alpha howled and ran forward, leaving the others behind.

Wooyoung's heart started to race as he thought about seeing his baby again. He couldn't wait to hold her.

Jongho pulled the wagon off to he side and Yeosang helped Wooyoung sit up while they waited for Seonghwa to shift and come get him.

Whimpering could be heart behind them, as well as Zayden shouting for his dad.

That was joined by Asher and Irys, which caused Yeosang to hurry out of the wagon, tears already in his eyes. "Oh my babies! Mama's home." Yeosang said through his sobs.

Wooyoung started trying to move himself forward, but he whimpered in pain and fell back into where San was trying to support him.

"I know you're excited, but you need to take it slow." San said, trying to lift Wooyoung off the wagon.

Seonghwa stepped in front of them, having not bothered to take the time to put a shirt on, and scooped Wooyoung up in his arms.

The omega sighed as he nuzzled into his alpha's warm chest for a second, then he turned at the sound he had been dying to hear.

"Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma!!" Wynter's high voice called out to him. "Ma ma ma ma ma!" It started to waver and he could tell she was about to cry.

Wooyoung looked around and saw a strange omega holding the squirming girl in his arms. She screeched and reached for him, wiggling so much that the omega hurried onto the grass and set her down before she fell out of his arms.
