Orange blossom permeated the air, wafting off the man intruding on the newly mated couple. Sweet orange, zesting through the delicate floral; A soft scent with a hint of zing, befitting the spunky golden-eyed Omega that stood there.

NJ clutched at JK, staring incredulously at the new Omega. "Mated?"

Nodding, the new Omega smiles softly and carefully steps forward. NJ's warning growl raised his hackles a bit, and he instinctively craned his head, exposing his throat.

"I only want to come closer Alpha, I don't... You smell better to me than he does... Fuck you both smell so good though..."

Blinking rapidly, NJ finally pieced together that this bandmate was also presenting. And his eyes were gold, like JK's.

"You said... Omega? Is that... you?"

"What? Why would that be me?"

"Your eyes... they're the same as Kook's..."

Rushing to the attached bathroom, the Omega's squeak could be heard clearly.

"WHAT THE- fuck.... fuck is that why you two smell so gooood?"

NJ chuckled, jostling JK. Carefully laying him to the side, and pulling his softened cock from him, he stood and carefully tip-toed to the bathroom to get a rag and talk to the Omega there.

"How do you feel? JK said he felt... really horny... you know right before..."

The Omega glanced at NJ's naked form in the mirror and laughed, eyes crinkling into little moons in mirth, plush lips stretching wide into a grin.

"Please. I said you smelled BETTER than JK, I didn't say I wanted to jump your bones okay? You smell good but... Not horny good. Besides..."

NJ quirked an eyebrow. "Besides?"

Blushing, the Omega turned his head.

"Besides! You... You smell... this is gonna sound weird but you smell owned. Like, I have absolutely no urge to touch you right now without... without permission..."

Frowning slightly, it clicked quickly. "Mated. I see. Maybe it's these bites? Felt a lot like I was staking ownership when I did it to JK so..."

"Mmm. Could be. Should we go ask our resident wolf expert?"

"Sure but uh... Could you maybe help me first? Wanna get Kook cleaned up and moving. He's hungry, and he's currently almost awake."

"Almost awake? How the hell do you know that?"

NJ rubbed a hand through his hair, and shrugged. "It's... a thing. I can't really explain right now."

"Fair enough." The Omega sighs, "This whole thing is so weird, right? Three of us now... Two of us are the same eyes, what does this mean? Why us? Why now? Is it permanent??"

They stood in silence for a moment, neither really able to come up with an answer. So, they worked together to gently rub JK down with clean, warm cloths, and pulled him into clean sweatpants and a t-shirt.

When NJ tried to stand, JK hooked his limbs around NJ and whined.

"Hyuuuuung don't go"

"Baby you're coming with me. We're going to get some food in you"

"I want something else in me" JK smirked, nosing into NJ's neck and purring.

NJ flushed, glanced awkwardly to the other Omega, and coughed.

"Baby haven't you noticed? Do you smell anything different?"

JK frowned, reluctant to pull his nose out of NJ's neck. But when he did, his eyes snapped open and his hands gripped NJ's neck tightly.

Whipping his head around, he looked at the other Omega in the room, dropping his legs carefully to the ground to step closer.

"You... are like me?" His eyes burned golden in curiosity.

Golden eyes burned back, and JK excitedly leapt towards the other Omega, dancing around him.

"You are! You're like me! There's two, we're two!!"

They hugged, purring and nosing each other to take in their scents. JK pushed the Omega's nose to his throat and coo'd at him.

"Here, smell here what do I smell like?"

The Omega inhaled, tentatively, eyes widening as JK's scent registered.

"Oh! Oh wow... You're... Kind of musky, but sweet? Reminds me of cookies kind of? Fresh, warm cookiesssss oh my god Kook that is so cool!"

JK nodded excitedly, pulling the Omega to NJ.

"Now my Hyung. You can smell him this time, but he's mine okay?" JK's brows furrowed in seriousness. His inner wolf was split between being possessive, and wanting to share this new thing with another Omega.

He was proud of his Alpha, even if he didn't really understand what it meant yet.

Again, the Omega inhaled with his nose near the neck of their Hyung.

"Mmm Christmas tree? Minty Christmas tree! Oh haha you two go together so well, it feels like Winter is here already!"

JK and NJ both squared their shoulders a little proudly, smiling as they felt the pride and contentment rising in each other through their mating bond.

NJ's face shifted serious quickly, however, as he felt JK's hunger through that same bond.

"Food, Baby. You need food."

JK pouted, crossing his arms. "Can't I smell him first? It's no fair if he got to smell us..."

NJ sighs, smiling softly at the two Omegas in front of him.

"OK but make it quick."

JK launched himself to the Omega, diving his nose into his neck. Zesty Orange rind pierced through, a little acidic, at first. As the Omega calmed down, it mellowed back to a sweet Orange Blossom.

"Orange blossom? Oh my god that's your favourite! Oh it's so perfect for you Hyung!"

The Omega smiled gently, soft lips curling upwards. "Thanks Koo... Can I ask something?"

JK nodded eagerly.

"Why do I want to rub myself on you?"

NJ spoke, gently, "Ah, yeah. Right. We had a similar urge to uh... share our scents? Does that sound right? Like putting a little of your scent on us, and vice versa?"

Nodding rapidly, the Omega's eyes darted to NJ's neck, and then to JK's.

"Yes! Yes exactly... Can I? Would that... be okay even though you two are... you know, mated?"

NJ wanted to say yes, please do, I want all of your scents on me, and I want to mark each of you so no one else can touch you. You're mine, you're my-

"Pack... Oh my god you're my pack that's what that is"

"Makes sense, in a wolf way? If we smell like each other, others will know who we are, and that we're together. Like a family." the Omega replied.

JK pulled the two men to his own body, nuzzling against his Alpha's cheek first.

"I'll do this. Don't... Don't want you to touch... yet..." He flushed, his brow still furrowed as he pouted. NJ smiled at him, thoroughly endeared at how possessive his little wolf was.

When he turned to rub cheeks with the other Omega, his inner wolf purred louder than ever, and JK was flooded with emotions that were not his own.

Pride. Leadership. Contentment. Pure happiness and warmth. Home. Family. PACK.

He smiled as their scents mingled on the new Omega, who for his part was glassy-eyed and dazed. NJ recognized it as the same look JK had when they were first sharing scents.

'He must feel the same dopey high' he thought.

Once JK pulled away, all three men smiled as their inner wolves felt settled. Guiding them to the door with a hand gently at their waists, NJ whispered to the new Omega.

"Welcome to the pack, JM-ah"

☽༓☾

🦝 A/N: Ta-da! *jazz hands*

The mysterious wolf that presented at the end of 'Awakening' was none other than JM!

Now who could the Alpha and Beta be? 🤔

☽༓☾

The second the trio stepped into the kitchen, chaos erupted.

What had been a calm room... SJ plating the last of the food, HS supplying chopsticks to the plates on the table, YG and TH getting juice and coffee ready for everyone... Very quickly escalated.

The Omegas stepped in first, their eyes glowing as they purred, hand in hand. NJ still had a hand on their waists, escorting them into the room with a warm smile on his face, eyes red as his inner wolf proudly escorted his pack members.

"Look who finally decided to join us! Good thing we sent Minie after you uh?" SJ teased them with a bright voice, drawing everyone's attention to their side of the kitchen.

The second one pair of eyes looked up, taking in the red-eyed Alpha with his hands all over not just JK, but JM as well, a sharp burning cedar scent exploded into the air. NJ's eyes darted up immediately to the culprit, hackles raising.

He didn't realize it until the Omegas leapt behind him in fear, but NJ's wolf growled at the threatening scent's owner.

SJ leapt away from the two men in fear, putting the kitchen table between him and them, along with the member closest to him, wrapping each other in a hug. This whole thing was so new, so startling, their fight or flight responses were all showing.

The third non-wolf member calmly approached the kitchen, hands raised carefully. Before he could step around the cedar-scented man, he was shoved backwards roughly, sliding backwards and hitting a leg of the kitchen table, jerking the whole thing back with a screech.

The cedar-scent rolled out in waves, reaching the Alpha and Omegas still standing on the threshold of the room, choking them in its smoky scent. It was burning cedar, a log left aflame too long, acrid and dense.

NJ's wolf wasn't happy. Especially not when he looked up at the man, and red eyes looked back.

He was seeing red. Literally, and figuratively. Every cell in his body tensed, and he flexed his neck instinctively, pushing his own scent forcefully across the room. This was /his/ pack. /His/ Omegas.

His pine was thick, suffocating, burning with anger and possessiveness. It smelled of pine tar, sticky and hot, and the Omegas clung to each other with wide eyes, afraid and on edge.

Their pack Alpha, the only Alpha they knew, was telling them through posture and scent that they were in danger. Their wolves could only reply in kind, lowering their scents subconsciously, muting the sweetness, shrinking to the ground.

'Small' JM thought, eyes glued to the two Alphas. 'I need to be small'

JK couldn't feel much from his bond with NJ, it was dulled. Still there, but like a whisper of emotions, like NJ had pushed it back the same as he'd pushed himself in front of the Omegas.

But he could feel enough to know NJ wouldn't hurt them. They were safe with him. He would protect them from the threat, whatever it was.

So he moved him and JM further back, slowly, keeping small movements. They stayed behind NJ's legs like a shield, and scooted out of sight of the room, but close enough to smell NJ. For him to smell them, to know they were okay. Safe.

"Safe" JK whispered to JM, who only nodded. His wolf was still new, confused, and despite their ages looked to JK as the authority. JK was Alpha's mate, JK knew. He wouldn't say they were safe if they weren't.

The Alpha should have known not to challenge NJ. They had already discussed that they knew he was an Alpha. They already saw he was protective, /possessive/, of his Omega, JK. And somewhere in his mind, the Alpha knew that and knew that was fine.

It was all fine.

Until NJ walked in, and JK wasn't the only pair of golden eyes.

Until NJ walked in, hands on the waists of someone that smelled so goddamn good, the Alpha's mouth watered immediately. His teeth ached immediately to taste the sweetness of that scent.

It was at that point any logic that should've run thru his head... flew out of it like a dog with an open door.

Now all he could think was 'Mine'. This Omega... he needed him. He needed his sweet orange scent. He needed to taste it, the sugary sweetness, that was /his/ to taste.

And this Alpha with his hand all over him, like he owned him... Was in the way.

He had to prove to His Omega he was worthy. Better for him than NJ. He could do that. He could show him. He'd make His Omega proud, and then... Then what? He wasn't sure.

It was then that NJ's scent hit the Alpha, and his red eyes throbbed, neck tensing, pushing his own scent back harder.

If scents could be seen, the kitchen would be filled to the ceiling with a black fog fog, swirling around two sets of ruby eyes locked on each other. Their growling was low, and getting louder. SJ could feel the rumbles against the wood table, and he let out a soft gasp.

His bandmate tensed, pulling the third member closer to them as well, behind the table for safety. Once they were together, he stealthily put a finger to his lips and gestured for them to quietly follow him to the living room, behind the sofa.

He had rationalized that even behind the table, they wouldn't be safe. He wasn't sure how he knew, but his instincts told him two Alphas fighting would not end well for anyone near them. He worried about the other two, but could only hope they were safe on the other side.

SJ's arms wrapped protectively around the other two, Hyung instincts wanting to protect his babies. Even if he was way out of his element right now.

The Alpha's growling grated on NJ's ears. Burned his skin, made his mouth and hands itch. He needed to bite, needed to rip him apart. His wolf was angry, seething at the challenge in this Alpha's eyes.

He snapped his teeth and jerked his head forward, snarling as he did so. His canine teeth had elongated, and no longer itched. The relief was short lived, however.

The other Alpha suddenly lunged.

NJ's eyes widened with adrenaline, leg kicked back behind himself to brace, arms spreading to make sure this Alpha wouldn't get by him.

He couldn't get by. His pack was behind him. It was his job to keep them safe. They would only be safe if this Alpha didn't get to them.

'Stop him. Stop the Alpha. Stop him' His wolf's thought process was simple, but loud. NJ's brain kicked into overdrive, working with his instincts and he counter-launched just before the Alpha's body hit his, throwing his attack off balance.

He shoved with his whole body, slamming the Alpha against the kitchen island, still-steaming pans be damned, and spread his lips into a wicked grin, snarling and showing every tooth he had.

The Alpha's hands came up to his chest, aiming for his throat, small claws sprouting.

🚨 cw// blood, violence 🚨

NJ snapped and bit one of them, hard, before they could touch his neck. Inside his head, his wolf was screaming 'THREAT', and he shook his head roughly, lips warm as the motion tore the flesh of the Alpha's hand.

The Alpha yelped, knee'd NJ instinctively and spun around onto the island's countertop, hand yanking out of NJ's mouth. Blood dripped down his fingers, unnoticed, as he recalculated his attack.

Sliding a knee back, he braced a foot on the sink to lunge again. This time, he anticipated NJ might leap forward again, so he pushed off as hard as his legs could.

NJ did not jump, instead only caught the Alpha and spun him to the ground with a loud thump. A barstool was unfortunately in the way, and shattered to pieces like it had been made of toothpicks.

The Alphas didn't notice, or care. They rolled on the splintered wood, snapping jaws at each other trying to land a bite as their claws gripped each other's flesh roughly.

NJ had the advantage of weight, and he knew it. So he focused on pinning the other Alpha down, making him unable to reach him with his teeth with a longer arm span.

Frustrated, the other Alpha's wolf was getting desperate.

'No... he can't have him... HE CAN'T HAVE HIM. MINE. MY OMEGA'

With a surge of fierce protectiveness, the Alpha thrashed and ripped his claws through NJ's arm, splattering blood on the both of them, and loosening the grip of that arm enough that the Alpha could roll away and stand up.

Distracted briefly, NJ's eyes flickered in pain. Still crouched, he noticed the other Alpha's eyes flitting to the hallway. He sniffed, worried when he couldn't smell the Omegas.

'No... NO' his wolf screamed when the anxious Alpha saw his chance and leapt forward into the hallway, sliding into view of the Omegas hunkering against the floor.

"Mine" he growled, eyes red and fierce.

The cowering Omegas flinched, and then screamed when NJ's hulking figure slammed the Alpha against the wall, easily caving in the surface. They scooted back until they felt the furthest wall behind them, limbs tangled in fear.

Blood dripped off of both Alphas, and the sound of their growls had started to show the pain they both were feeling.

NJ tentatively reached for his bond with JK, questioning if they had been hurt.

"N-no Alpha" JK replied audibly. NJ grunted in return, eyes trained firmly on the Alpha, his uninjured arm pressing him against the wall by his throat, pressing... pressing...

The Alpha's lips were turning colour, oxygen being cut off slowly as NJ's arm pinned him higher.

If he'd been focused on the things around him, he'd have noticed two things.

One, that as the Alpha suffocated, one of his Omegas was whining in distress.

And Two, that somewhere behind him, an earthy tone was beckoning to him, willing him to calm down.

As that scent neared him, his wolf finally waned slightly, sniffing the air to identify it.

It was clean, warm, like warm matcha tea and honey. It called to him, soothed him. Felt like someone was petting the back of his head and whispering sweet things to talk him down.

Eyes focusing, he finally took in the scene around him, and dropped his arm immediately.

"Fuck... fuck what?"

He looked at the Alpha, partly concerned, and a little bit guilty, as he gasped for air, hands at his throat. The wet coughing as the Alpha rasped out "I'm... sorry..."

The source of the warm, comforting scent, rounded the corner.

The source of the warm, comforting scent, rounded the corner.

A gentle hand reaches out to the Alphas, gently pressing to their cheeks. Their scents turn slightly, lifting. NJ's mint peeks through, and the Alpha's vanilla undertone is finally there for the first time.

The hand's owner smiles softly, and speaks first to NJ out of respect.

"Alpha, you go stand with your mate, yes?"

NJ nodded and carefully walked backwards to the Omegas, not quite willing to show his back to the other Alpha, and hummed when he felt JK's hands wrap carefully around him. Amber and Vanilla surrounded him like a warm blanket.

"And you... Why did you do that?"

The other Alpha's voice rasped softly, struggling to voice his needs.

"My... Omega... Need to... claim"

NJ cursed, and looked sideways at JM for the first time.

JM, whose eyes hadn't left the Alpha's. JM, who whimpered on his hands and knees, aching to inch forward to the other two men. JM who was too afraid of NJ to do so.

"JM-ah, look at me"

With a whine, he did so, lip quivering.

"Do you want to go to him? Do you... Feel like you need to?"

JM nodded, replying simply "I need them... Please Alpha"

NJ's eyebrows went up in surprise. "Them?"

It was then he realized the other man's eyes were also glowing now. Green. Vivid green, like the sunlight through a rainforest canopy.

"Go, go to them. It's okay"

JM bolted, crawling as fast as he could to the hallway's junction, legs too weak to push himself up. He settled for rubbing his face against the legs of the Alpha first, before pulling the other wolf's hand to his other cheek. His Alpha. His Beta.

Honey, Vanilla, and sweet sugary Orange blended deliciously in that moment.

NJ stood, with effort, and looked at the Alpha.

"I'm sorry, Hyung. I thought... I thought... Fuck I'm so sorry" He gently reached for the Alpha, who gently pressed it against his own neck and tensed, releasing his cedar and vanilla ever so slightly.

"It's okay NJ-ah. I wasn't thinking either. I don't know what came over me, I just... I saw you with Minie and... suddenly all I could think about was getting to him."

NJ nods. "I understand, I... I should have understood. Even when we were alone, I had the same reaction with JK..." He runs his injured arm's hand through his hair, wincing when he feels the warmth on his scalp.

The Beta speaks, gently, hands cradling JM's head to his thigh.

"This is all very new, for all of us. We'll figure it out. First, we should get you two to the first aid okay? Then... I think we should all sit down and talk because... Clearly whatever this is, is not isolated. We should move forward assuming it'll happen to us all. Prepare."

When the Alphas nodded, and JK had joined the group, arms around NJ, he continued.

"Let's go talk to our wolf expert, yeah? Come here, my sweet Alpha. Let JM and I help you"

The group carefully stepped over the splintered stool, the Alphas flinching in guilt, as the Beta led them to the living room where the final two members waited.

"They're all okay."

YG, their wolf expert, scoffed. "I think that's up for debate. Did you lose your goddamn MIND HS?"

"Come on, you know better than we do that he probably wasn't in his right mind" the Beta reasoned.

"Yeah, well, you didn't lose YOUR mind did you?" The other bandmate questioned.

The Beta shook his head, smiling softly. "No, but I also think I'm not like them. Am I, Hyung?" he turned to NJ, eyes still green.

NJ smiled back, a fond little warmth in his heart.

"No, you're definitely different. We need to talk about how you were able to calm us down, too."

YG moved to look at the Beta's face and gasped. "Beta! Oh my god you're a Beta"

He scrambled for paper and started jotting down notes as the other members watched.

"Right. Sit, Hyung" JK pushed NJ down to the couch firmly, surprising the Alpha with the display of force.

Pointing to JM, he gestured to the kitchen, "Go get the first aid kit. Ah, and maybe the sewing kit too..." He trailed off, flinching at the gashes on NJ's arm and HS's hand.

"They don't look... bad... but just in case. We obviously can't take these kinds of injuries into the hospital, until we figure this shit out..."

JM nodded and darted off to fetch the first aid.

Turning to the Beta, JK sent him off with another quick command, to get towels and clean clothes. The still-human bandmates kept their distance, both in awe of what was happening, and one scribbling furiously as things happened.

"I can't believe this is real" YG whispered, pencil scratching in his notebook.

"You and me both... Youuuu and meeeee both..."

☽༓☾

🦝 A/N: Our 2nd Alpha is revealed! None other than sweet ol' HS!

Seems something... or someONE triggered his presentation? 👀

And our Beta's come forward just in time to calm the two Alphas of the pack? OOOOh who do we think he is? :D

☽༓☾

"Okay... Can I ask you guys some questions?" YG asked, once they were all sitting semi-comfortably in the living room, Alphas wrapped and bandaged.

JK and NJ both nodded in sync, NJ speaking for the both of them. "We're fine with that"

"That! Okay let's start there. You two can... hear each other's thoughts?"

They looked at each other, a silent conversation of sorts, before JK spoke.

"Well, it's not so much what he's thinking, as what he's /feeling/. Like, right now I can tell the meds haven't kicked in yet, he's thirs- Here Hyung" JK hands over a bottle of water "thirsty, I was gonna say. And he feels... I'm not sure how to explain the feeling. Bad? Sad?"

NJ sighs, setting the water down.

"Ah, it's... Guilt I think." He looks up apologetically at HS, who is cradling his hand to his body softly. "Yeah... guilt...."

HS smiles at him, and gestures at his own injury. "NJ-ah, we both fucked up it's okay."

"And as I said before" the Beta reminds them "This is new to all of us. You fucked up. We're all gonna fuck this up. But we're all gonna fuck it up /together/. Because that's what we do. We're bulletproof, remember?"

YG snorts, muttering jokingly, "Sure, but nobody said anything about fang-proof"

The other human member laughs at his joke behind a hand, failing entirely to hide his snickers.

"And you two" YG points to JM and HS "You two feel connected like them, right? Can you feel each other's... emotions?"

JM, curled up against HS's side, shakes his head. "N-no, I don't think so? How would I know?" He looks at JK as he asks the question.

Smiling at him, JK says sweetly, "It's okay JM-ie you would know, trust me. You don't have to question it. But, I don't think... I don't think it worked like that for us until we bit each other?"

"Oh? Is that so?" YG jotted that down and leaned forward, eager to hear more.

NJ nodded. "When I bit him, I could feel his emotions. When he bit me back, it was like time stopped, and the connection was stronger."

"Mm okay... And you didn't /just/ bite right? It's more like what we'd call 'marking' each other during mating, hmm? Okay" he nodded, writing again when they agreed with him.

"So, JK, when these two meatheads were fighting, what was NJ feeling?"

JK fiddled with the edge of his shirt, nervous as he recalled those moments.

"Ah, well... He kind of pushed me away. It was still there, but muted. Like he didn't /want/ me to feel what he was feeling."

NJ's eyes widened.

"I... did I? I didn't do it on purpose... Is that why you hid your scent?"

JK and JM both shook their heads in tandem, JM speaking first. "Ah, we kind of just did that. I don't think there was a real reason, just... felt right. Like we had to be smaller, stay hidden. There was a voice chanting 'Don't be seen, don't be smelled, don't be heard'"

JK nodded in agreement.

"Yes exactly. We stayed behind Hyung-ah, NJ Hyung-because he felt safe. We knew he was going to protect us."

YG pauses, "Wait you felt like you needed protecting... from HS?"

JK shook his head, "We didn't really notice it was him. Alpha's scent said 'danger', and his body said he would keep us safe. We trusted that, trusted him to take care of whatever the danger was."

"Interesting... And, looking at HS, would you trust him to do the same?"

JK's lips tensed into a thin line, considering.

He shook his head. "No, not the same way. Sorry Hyung..."

YG turned to JM. "And you? He's probably your mate, do you feel like JK does about NJ? Or would you turn to HS to protect you?"

JM leaned back, looking between the two Alphas carefully.

Then he looked at JK, whose doe eyes looked back with warmth and care.

"I would trust HS to protect me, yes. But-" he swallowed, fingers gripping HS's arm "But I would trust NJ to protect us all. I would turn to him first if an unknown danger suddenly came up again..."

NJ looked up, eyes welling slightly. "Even after...?"

JM nodded. "Especially after this. You fought so hard to protect us, that you were willing to..." He looks at HS, his own eyes watering at the prospect of losing him when he felt like he just found him. "You were willing to do anything. I can't explain how that felt, even then."

An arm wraps around JM, comforting him, curling him closer. He leans into HS's embrace and lets his tears fall as he's warmed from the outside.

Turning to the Beta, YG chewed on his pen in thought. "And you? You're neither Alpha nor Omega, tell us how you felt as you uh... Presented? That's what fiction calls it, I dunno if we're-"

The Beta cut him off with a raised hand, rich baritone voice interrupting his rambling.

"You're the most knowledgeable about whatever this is. Just use terms you know, and if something doesn't feel right we can correct it then? 'Presenting' is a good word, I think."

TH inhaled.

🦝 A/N: OHP! Who had TH-Beta on their Bingo cards?!

If you read 'Awakening' Part 1, there were clues even then as to TH's nature! He's been calm, quiet, and as logical as possible the whole time. :3

"I pulled YG-Hyung behind the table with SJ-Hyung and myself... And around then NJ-Hyung took off down the hallway. I felt... Jerked. Like I felt like my chest was punched, and all the air left me"

He shivered as he recalled, and JM made a noise. His voice softly replied, "Me too. I felt that way too"

YG's pencil scribbled as TH continued.

"As soon as that happened, I felt a warmth in my chest that radiated outwards. Like putting on a shirt fresh from the dryer, but it started inside, worked its way out. And then I had this urge to follow NJ. To go to the Alphas."

"So I did. My neck felt a bit itchy, and I tensed it a bit, which made it feel better. I could smell the Alphas, and they smelled so bad, but when I tensed my neck, their scents got better. So I did it again, and again."

YG interrupted, humming thoughtfully. "Okay, and as you approached them, how did you feel? Scared? Worried? Disgusted?"

TH shook his head.

"None of those. I felt... calm. I felt like I /needed/ to be calm. Like I needed to make them feel as calm as I did."

"I'm so fucking grateful you did that, TH" NJ replied, eyes darting to HS again anxiously. "I don't know if I would have stopped... If I could have stopped..."

HS nodded, "Same. Especially when I could finally see JM-ie again? I was ready to die trying to get to him..."

"Holy shit okay" YG scribbled that in a bubble near HS's name and gestured to TH. "Go on, what happened then?"

TH folded his hands, a foot tucked underneath him as he continued again.

"Not much really. The Alphas calmed down, their scents got better-"

"You said that a minute ago too, what does 'better' mean? What do you all smell like?"

TH looked at NJ and JK, waiting for permission.

They were looking at him as expectantly as the others, so he prompted them. "Alpha? Is it... okay to tell him that?"

Blinking rapidly, NJ looked at JK for confirmation. Through their connection, JK could sense he was worried about how he'd feel, since he'd expressed care about sharing scents with the Pack members. And the humans weren't technically 'Pack'.

JK smiled and nodded both at NJ and at TH. "It's okay"

TH nodded back and immediately continued. "Well, the Alphas smell like wood. NJ-Hyung smells like pine mostly, and HS-Hyung smells mostly like cedar. There are undertones too but those are their main scents."

"And then there's the Omegas. They're sweet, edible. JK-ie is a musky vanilla. Like a spiced cookie. JM-ie is like orange blossom. Mostly orange though."

YG nodded, "Go on. What are these undertones? Are they the same for everyone?"

TH shook his head, saying "No, not really. JM is mostly orange, but his orange blossom comes out underneath. And JK also has a floral undertone, like roses. HS's got a vanilla undertone that mutes his cedar some, and NJ has mint under his. He smells like Christmas"

The group chuckles at this, and SJ quips "Well I have to say I'm surprised. I thought you two would smell different."

"Different how?" HS asks.

"Different like... Hobi-ah I thought you'd smell like something bright... lemony you know? Something like summer. And NJ I figured would smell like nature."

Pretending to be offended, NJ laughed. "Pine is nature!"

"Yahhh you know what I mean! Like, I dunno, tea or something"

"No that's TH-ie Hyung" JK replied smoothly.

They all turned to TH, who shrugged. "I suppose. I don't smell myself that strongly, but I would call it tea I guess."

JK leaned forward, nose to the air, and hummed. "Mm. Matcha tea. With a little bit of honey underneath. Makes me feel cozy."

The Alphas replied with grunts of affirmation. Cozy is definitely how they felt when TH's scent hit them.

"So, let me get this organized. Alphas so far smell like wood... Omegas smell sweet and edible... And our only Beta so far smells like... Tea?"

YG glanced between the wolves, who all nodded.

"Okay. And we have two mate pairs right? NJ and JK, and HS and JM?"

"No"

The group turned to JM, YG questioning him, "What do you mean no? I thought-"

JM shook his head, "No. Not pair. It's not just HS I feel drawn to..."

4 pairs of eyebrows shot to the ceiling as the room held its breath.

This time, it was SJ that spoke up, asking the question on everyone's mind. "What do you mean it's not /just/ HS you are drawn to?"

"I mean... Yes I feel drawn to HS, and I want to... I have urges there. But it doesn't feel complete if I leave out TH-ie." He hid himself against HS's chest, aching to hold TH closer but worried that his platonic soulmate didn't feel the same draw.

JK's nose twitched, and he jumped forward to hold JM's hand in his. "No baby it's okay shhhh." He flexed his neck and crawled next to JM to rub their cheeks together. "I've got you JM-ie"

YG blinked. "Uh, what just happened why did you-"

"JM's scent changed. He smelled distressed. I think JK is scenting him to calm him down" NJ replied, eyes full of pride.

"Has he done this before? How did the scent smell /distressed/?"

"Yes, he scented JM and I after JM presented in the bedroom. He didn't want JM to scent me directly bc I'm his mate, but he wanted him to smell like us. Like... like a pack."

"And the distress?"

"Uh, a bit... dead. Like his blossoms had wilted?"

TH moved over to the couch JM, HS, and JK were on and kneeled in front of them. Slowly, he reached a hand to them both and grasped them firmly.

"Baby I feel the same, please don't think otherwise. All I want to do right now is hold you both. I promise you I feel it too okay?"

JM nodded, lip still quivering, as he turned to look up at HS through his lashes. "You too?"

Their Alpha only hummed, and rubbed TH's hand with his thumb, arm squeezing JM tighter.

YG clicked his tongue, causing the group to turn back to him. TH sat himself down between JM and HS's legs, hands still clasped tightly together.

"In fiction, usually if there are soulmates, it's one on one. Like how would the mating bite work with three? You each bite one person? You bite both people? If someone had, say, 4 mates, how many bites can you fit?"

Laughing, TH prodded a foot at YG. "Well, if you all leave maybe we'll find out?"

HS and JM's hands squeezed at the same time, the Alpha leaning forward to whisper in TH's ear.

TH flushed bright pink and nodded, turning to whisper back.

Clearing his throat, HS stood and pulled TH and JM with him. "So, about that actually, I think we will go talk this thing out between us... Alone..."

HS took a step forward, and stopped, eyes flicking up to NJ quickly.

His pine scent spiked, reminding HS he was there, and his inner wolf froze. NJ's eyes had turned red, wolf instinctively anxious about the Alpha leaving with two of /his/ pack members.

"I-if it's okay, that is...?"

The Alphas stared at each other a moment, NJ's pine pushing out and smothering HS's cedar. With a gulp, HS tilted his head, showing his scent gland without pushing his own scent, and waited.

"Mmm... Can you all... scent with JK-ie first? Uh... please?"

He didn't have to elaborate, they understood his meaning. He wanted them to smell like /pack/. Wanted to make sure he wasn't losing his pack members.

It was an unusual insecurity, but each wolf instinctively knew it. His mate, still near the trio, immediately reached for them to rub their cheeks and necks together, a pleased rumble tumbling out of his throat as he did so.

JM began to purr in kind, and TH's eyes went glassy as he was scented for the first time, bombarded with the mingling scents of all the members. Together, their scents painted such a picture.

Like he was in a forest... Tall, strong cedar and pine trees flanking him... Orange blossoms drifting through the air... rich amber spice and roses nestling around him... And his own honey, sweet on the tongue... It was a comforting place, a little haven just for them.

TH's purr joined the Omegas', and as JK scented HS his deep Alpha rumble vibrated against his back, where he'd curled his body.

The humans watched in awe. YG's lips pinched only slightly as a pang of jealousy hit him, that he quickly tried to shove away. They weren't /his/. Why should he feel jealous?

☽༓☾

The trio left the room, and HS led them to his bedroom. He clicked the door shut, leaving it unlocked in case NJ needed them for something, while the other two drifted towards his bed.

His rich green comforter reminded TH of their pack scent, and he hummed, sitting down and spreading his fingers on it.

Hesitant, eyes flicking between the other two, JM stood in the middle of the room, unsure where to go. He wanted to sit with TH, but HS was his Alpha... He felt like he should lead, right?

HS stepped across the room and wrapped his arms around JM, nose at his neck. His Omega smelled distressed, and he didn't like that. As soon as his arms embraced him, his scent sweetened.

"C'mere boys" TH whispered, voice low and husky.

HS looked up, eyes flashing red as soon as he did, matching TH's green. He pushed himself and JM towards the bed, caging the Omega between TH's spread legs.

"Lay back TH. Let Minie sit on you"

TH crawled backwards on the bed to make room, and reached his hands for JM's, hauling him forward to rest on his hips.

Their Alpha groaned at the sight, electricity flooding his body as His Omega perched on top of their Beta. Seeing JM's ass nearly presented, HS wanted so badly to dive his mouth forward and rip those godforsaken jeans off with his teeth.

He's startled when JM's face turns back to look at him, cheeks flushed, with a pout on his beautiful lips. They're glistening as he licks them.

"Alpha?"

"Fuck... yes?" he curses at the name, doesn't even question why it affects him so much.

"Can I... Can I kiss TH-ie please?"

Two groans echo into the room, just as two sets of eyes now look at HS expectantly. His face softens, pupils dilating.

"Please do, for the love of god yes"

JM turned back to TH and licked his lips. The Beta's eyes darted down to the motion, wetting his own in anticipation. Bed dipping beside them, HS knelt carefully to watch without disturbing them.

A soft kiss, bare pressing of lips, smacked in the quiet room. TH groaned, hands sliding up JM's thighs to grasp at his hips tightly. Pressing up, he slid their lips together again, tugging gently.

JM leaned away slightly and one of TH's hands flew up to his neck immediately, pulling him back down with force. Their Omega gasped, and HS rumbled, bring a hand to stroke JM's hair away from his face.

"You two stay there. Let Alpha get you ready, yeah?"

TH's green eyes darted to him as his tongue snaked out to flick against the soft fullness of JM's bottom lip, acknowledging he heard him. He pulled JM closer, both hands on his neck, grasping at his hair.

HS moved behind the Omega, straddling TH's lower legs as he did so. Leaning forward, his arms wrapped around JM to press his shirt up and off of him. Sliding his hands down he brought his fingers to toy with the waist of his jeans, palming at JM's arousal.

"Mmm our baby is excited hmm? Does TH-ie taste good baby?"

JM whined, hips rotating slightly. He gasped into TH's mouth when he felt his jeans loosen, then slip down his thighs.

"TH, hold his hips. I'm gonna lift."

TH grunted, moving his hands to do just that, elbows resting on the bed. He felt JM's weight on his arms briefly as their Alpha lifted his legs and slid his jeans and underwear off in one motion.

TH instinctively brought his hands around to grasp his ass, softly squeezing the ample flesh before he felt HS's hands squeeze on top of his own. Their hands moved together, HS bringing TH's finger to trace the wet rim, causing JM to shiver as more slick slid out.

"F-fuck...

HS's mouth drooled as the scent of JM's slick hit him. Orange syrup, vanilla, thick and sticky, flooded his senses. Looking at TH he whispered, "You smell it, right?"

Nodding, TH turned with blown pupils. "Mm. I do... I wanna taste him so bad Hyung..."

"Me too baby" Hs replies, dipping his own fingertip into JM's rim, moaning as it clenches around him. Sliding his finger to TH's lips, he watches their Beta wrap his mouth around his finger, eyes fluttering softly in pleasure.

"How's he taste?"

"Mmmso good Alpha... your turn... Taste our baby, wanna watch you"

HS leans down and drags his tongue in a long stripe, sweet orange slick coating his tongue as he swallows, licking again. He laps at the fluttering hole while TH eagerly strips his shirt off and slides next to him to remove the Alpha's shirt as well.

Replacing his tongue with a finger, HS gently fucks into JM while turning to kiss TH, his other hand sliding around his waist and pulling him closer. TH moans at their chests pressing together, and swirls his tongue with the Alpha's to taste JM on him.

JM whimpers in front of them, hearing their kissing and feeling left out. "Please... Wanna watch you guys too..."

They giggle, and HS stands from the bed, pulling TH with him.

"Flip over then Minie. Watch us"

JM complies immediately, legs spreading wide so they can still watch the slick as it leaks onto the bed beneath him. His mouth pops open as he watches HS strip them both of their pants, hands sliding over TH's tanned legs.

His legs spread wider and he snakes a hand down to touch himself, his cock leaking against his stomach. TH is turned, back pressed to HS's front, presented forwards to JM, as HS's hands tease his nipples. TH's cock jerks and he groans, head leaning back.

"Fuck... Hyung... /Alpha/ please" HS scratches from his hips up his belly, skin welting slightly. JM mirrors the action on himself, back arching in pleasure. HS curses and laps his tongue at TH's neck, buzzing when the taste of sweet green tea floods his mouth.

He slides a hand down to grip the base of TH's cock, squeezing firmly. TH whines and tries to buck his hips forward, stopped by a firm grip on his abdomen.

"Aht aht not by yourself. Get over there with our Omega. Look how patiently he's waiting for us... Wanna watch you taste"

TH falls forward, pushed slightly by HS, and clambers to straddle JM. He aches to rut against him, their stiff members hot against each other. HS crowds behind him, sliding his own between TH's thighs to mingle with theirs, and they collectively moan.

The scent of JM's slick is thick in the air, and HS feels his Alpha crawling inside himself. His teeth are itching again in his gums, he wants to make these boys his. Needs it.

"Minie can I..."

"Yes! Yes please Alpha please..." JM writhes beneath them, desperately seeking his Alpha's touch. "Please Alpha it hurts... Everything burns"

"I know baby. Hold on..." He ruts against the two boys, lubing their cocks with JM's slick, and pressing the tip against JM's rim gently. "This okay?" he asks, pressing the tip in slowly.

JM's moan is long and low, head thrown back to expose his neck. TH lurches forward to taste it, laving his tongue side to side and moaning. His head floats a little on the sweet vanilla blossom, tongue numbed to the thick orange scent.

As HS slides carefully into the wet heat of JM's ass, his hands find TH's hips and pull him backwards to rock together. As the Alpha's cock strokes JM on the inside, TH's strokes him on the outside, even as TH's tongue dances in his mouth.

The pleasure surrounding JM sinks him like an anchor in a turbulent ocean. He feels simultaneously grounded on the earth, and like he's floating in the waters, gasping for air. His lungs struggle to function as HS picks up the pace, jarring his mates against him, hard.

He can't help the staccato'd whimpers that escape him, hands grasping desperately at TH's back, tiny claws leaving marks behind. TH moans and pulls his arms down to pin beside his head.

"Naughty baby" he whispers, nosing against JM's neck again to inhale.

HS gasps, gripping TH's thighs again, hard. "Fuck babies... I'm close... TH can you.. ung... TH want you to bite Minie when I bite you okay? C-can you do that for me?"

TH keens low in his vocal range and pushes back against HS. "Yes Alpha..."

"Close baby okay I'm almost.... Hnng...Fuck Minie you feel so good"

JM whines and clenches around his Alpha, flexing his hips upwards against TH. "Mm Alpha please... please... TH-ie I need you too... Your baby needs you both..."

They moan in tandem and buck against JM roughly, both nearing their climax.

HS leans forward, pushing TH closer to JM's neck, and his own mouth to TH's shoulder. TH gets the hint and opens his mouth, gums burning in anticipation. JM's thrashing releases his orange scent even more, and drool glistens on TH's lips, sliding onto JM's neck.

"Fuck... you both smell so sweet... so good for your Alpha..." his boys moan for him, his body sweating profusely as he gets closer, closer to the edge. He feels it building, pooling low in his stomach even as his thighs ache.

He breathes hot against TH, pulling his hips flush against him with an arm around his waist and the other landing on the bed to sandwich the three of them together. The pressure is too much for JM, who cums hard with a full body spasm, head kicked back, throat exposed.

TH feels HS clench and gapes his mouth on JM's throat, waiting for the cue. It comes a second later, HS's claws digging into the soft flesh of his belly just as his teeth sink into his shoulder.

The room explodes for them. TH feels JM's overwhelmed emotions as his teeth sink in, like clamping onto a live wire. He feels smothered with love, suffocating in pleasure, and so so warm. Feels nearly complete.

HS feels these and more as JM's feelings trickle through his connection to TH. Then he feels TH's contentment, and building pleasure as he is nearly to his own climax. HS's teeth clamp harder and that does it, sending TH whirling off the edge into the abyss of his orgasm.

JM clenching around his cock, both of their overwhelming emotions flooding him, he feels like he's spinning and he cums inside his Omega with a hard thrust, hips twitching against TH.

Letting go of JM's neck, TH leans an arm back and cradles HS's head, pushing his scent out as much as he can.

"That's it Alpha... Fill our baby... Claim our Omega he's ours isn't he?"

HS grunts and rests his head against TH, grateful for the support as his knot swells inside JM.

"So good babies... Thank you... Alpha loves you so much"

In tandem, the boys return a soft "We love you Alpha".

While they wanted for HS's knot to come down, TH cleaned them all up with warm rags, and cozied them up under a spare comforter. He laid behind JM, arms embracing him and peppering him with kisses while he marked their Alpha.

They agreed to wait for trying to mark the others, since this circle of bites was so overwhelming. They could residually feel each other through the chain, though, and that was enough for now. They felt connected to each other.

JM nearly orgasmed on HS's knot as he was flooded with their emotions, causing HS to get harder again. The Omega whined, and TH giggled at him.

"Silly boy, of course Hyung is gonna get hard again, you're squeezing so much"

Pouting, JM retorted, "Not my fault you both feel so much right now."

"Sorry babies" HS replied, kissing each of them in turn. "I just love you both so much what can I say?"

After dozing for a couple of hours, they woke for round two. This time TH wanted to bottom for their Alpha, blushing vividly as he requested it. HS's smile beamed across his lips and he launched forward to nip at TH's jaw and pin him to the bed.

They used JM's slick to ease the glide, and completed the mating with marking the others this time, and by the time they were ready to venture out into the house it was the next day and they were littered with bruises.

TH's low-slung shirt fell off his shoulder, proudly displaying his two bitemarks; One consuming most of the space, and a smaller one beside it, cute in comparison. Sitting on the couch, JM absentmindedly licked at the bites, sending shivers through TH's body.

YG watched, unnoticed, from the kitchen, taking mental notes. He jumped slightly when he felt an arm around his shoulder. Pressing a finger to his lips, he jerked his head at SJ to show the trio curled up together. Their purring could be heard across the room.

SJ smiled, eyes glancing down to YG's face as he watched him watching the trio. He saw every movement, every glance.

Especially the one that lit a fire in his gut.

The one that tickled somewhere in his chest.

The one that clawed at him, causing him to grip YG tightly and press his face to his neck and ear. "YG-ah... are you jealous?" he whispered softly, barely audible.

YG's eyes flew open, head turning sharply to SJ. He gasped once as he looked into SJ's gleaming eyes, again when his nostrils flared and a scent permeated the air around them, and once more when he crashed their lips together, hard.

The trio remained forgotten in the living room as two more wolves clambered at each other's clothes in the kitchen.
