The four of them were given one room to stay in, and oddly enough it was probably set up in the best way possible. It was modest in size, but it had a queen size bed.

Mingi had offered to set up the couch for one of the couples to stay on, but both Seonghwa and San had refused right away.

Seonghwa hated that they had to keep up this disguise, but he knew it was for their own good. Sure, Mingi and Yeosang were wanted by their pack, but if anyone discovered their secret then they would be wanted by every single pack out there. He would never put Wooyoung in that kind of danger.

Once they were all in the room, the alpha's waited patiently for Wooyoung and Seonghwa to get settled in the middle of the bed.

Seonghwa pulled his mate close to him and worked to cover up Jongho's scent with his own. He knew the alpha would have to scent him again in the morning, but he refused to smell it right now.

His wolf was slowly starting to cooperate. The fact that it was feeling territorial right now was a good sign. Although that immediately went away the second San slipped into bed behind him. It urged him to turn around to give the alpha some attention. So Seonghwa scolded it and started placing gentle kisses on Wooyoung's mark.

That seemed to appease his wolf for now.

The younger hummed and nuzzled the mark he left on Seonghwa's neck.

Once the alpha's were settled, they reached across both omega's to hold hands so they could have that one piece of contact.

Seonghwa tilted his head to look at their hands. They were definitely getting the short end of the stick right now...

Hwa? Wooyoung's sweet voice entered his head.

Yes, baby?

You have a concerned look on your face.

The older smiled at him and closed his eyes. This is just a hard situation. I don't trust the others.

I know. But they've taken us in, so we should give them a chance. Wooyoung said, his voice sleepy even in their link.

Seonghwa knew his mate was right, so he dropped it for now as they settled in to sleep.

None of them could shift while the slept, but they all felt surprisingly well rested when they woke up.

San slipped off the bed and hurried to the other side to embrace Jongho, letting out a few whimpers as they ran their hands over each other.

Wooyoung crawled over to sit in Seonghwa's lap while the older sat against the headboard.

They wait patiently for the alphas to finish, which caused them to avoid eye contact for a few minutes.

"I feel like we need to come up with a story. On how we met and everything."

Jongho sighed and the four of them turned so they could all face each other. "I agree. What would you like it to be?"

Seonghwa sucked on his bottom lip as he thought. "Maybe... San and I..."

"An arranged mating?" San asked. "No offense but you don't hide your dislike for me very well, so that would make sense."

The omega flinched at his words, knowing they were right. "Sorry, I'll try to work on that." He muttered.

Wooyoung leaned into his chest and rubbed his nose back and forth.

"It's ok. You're pretty hard-headed for an omega." San gave him a crooked smile.
