Rain & Ryeowook - PLOT B

@Kim Ryeowook Jiyong had recognized what was happening to his brother in-law almost immediately upon seeing him. He had seen it before, but he wasn't sure how it was possible with Jihoon. Jihoon was a pure wolf as far as he knew, so it didn't make sense. When he saw Seunghyun, he ran to him and hugged him, inspecting him for any possible wounds. Then he waited for the warriors to leave before looking at his best friend. "He's okay. He's not dead Wooki. His body is healing itself. I have no idea how it's possible, but there is magic emitting from him. It's put him in a coma until he heals, but I've seen this once before and I promise you Ryeowook, he'll be okay."

Jihoon couldn't feel anything. His whole body felt numb. His mind was blank until he opened his eyes and was blinded by a blue light. He walked closer to the thing that was emitting it and gasped. It was his mother and a woman he didn't recognize. "My son. We don't have much time, but you will be okay. I am so proud of you for doing what your father should've and I am sorry that your mate was harmed and I knew nothing about it." She cupped his cheek and leaned into her hand. He missed his mother more than he'd ever be able to express.

"Thank you mom. Where are we? Am I dead? And who is she?" He pointed to the woman with his mother who was standing to the side, giving them space.

His mother smiled. "This is an old friend of mine. Her name is Winifred and she is a witch. When you were just a pup, I asked her to cast a protectiong spell on you as she had your brother. The only things that would be able to kill you was a stab thru the heart, ingesting copious amounts of wolfs bain or the death of your mate. I am very happy to say it worked. So to answer your question, no my dear boy, you are not dying. I simply needed to warn you and this was the only way to do so, plus it gives your body a chance to heal. Jihoon, you need to stay close to your mate. He may only be half wolf, but he has powers in him that even he doesn't know about, nor does his mother and father. He's going to need you and you him. I want you to promise me you will protect him, but not suffocate him."

Jihoon nodded. "Of course I will mom, but what powers? How will I know how to help him?"

She chuckled. "That, I can't answer, but you will know. The moon goddess put you two together because you are both what the other needed. Now, your family needs you Jihoon. I love you my sweet boy, but it's time to wake up."

With those words, his mom disappeared and Jihoon heard voices around him. He slowly blinked his eyes open and looked around him. The people he loved. As he tried to sit up, he winced and a sharp breath. "W-wookie?" His voice was raspy and his body sore from losing blood and being ripped open, but he wanted his mate.

@Rain The howel that Rywowook released when Jihoon was brought into the den bloodied and bearly breathing was going to cause the world to ears to bleed. Wookie had been holding his own in the inside, he and others were busy keeping the flow of food, supplies, and wounded healed and back out front to help in quick sussession. When his Aloha had been brought before him though, Ryeowook thought he would fall flat out. 'NO!' He'd dropped, fitting dead away.

Kangin paced, looking down at Jihoon and Ryeowook, the Alpha and his Omega sons, both now his sons's weren't they? Uncontious, comatose it seemed, the war bloody and vicious and in the end won, Seungyun as the Chio beta sat unsteady and uneasy at the head of the table while they awaited his brother;s return tot he land of the livinging. "It will happen soon, Ryeowook is with him and the Goddess, and they will return him to us, the fight it wom, Hyung0-ssi. Trust your QAlpha and his Omega." Even as he said it, and linked his hand tightly in Leeteukie's he worried for his Wookie, their beautiful strong halfbreed omega son, was the catalyst for this entire thing and if his strength wasn't enough to entice his Alpha mate back, all would be lost.

"Jihoonie?" Ryeowook, felt the white tips of his russet red ears twitch as he cooed tingy wolf mund melding off to his mates. They were in the spirit rehlm, not often did they're wolves come here, did the body of the human and spirit have to come separately to this place to have a conference. Why were the four of them having to come here? Was something wrong? Alpha? Hoonie?" Ryewook the human boy walked over as well to stand next to the pretty red wolf. "Where is he do we think?" They asked of themselves, this was getting complicated. Ryeowook the wolf and boy regarded oneanother before turning to appraised the bed that held their mate. "He's being stuborn?"

@Kim Ryeowook Jihoon was in trouble. He knew it. Ryeowook was going to kill him if he didn't die fighting. It was well past 11pm and he was still fighting, but this was day 3. He had to end this. He was just so thankful that Ji was with his mate and they were both safe. He saw his brother's wolf fighting two different alphas and a third trying to sneak up from behind. Ripping out the neck of the wolf he was fighting, he charged at the other wolf and sent him flying into a tree. When he heard the sound of bones breaking and the silence from his heart beat ceasing, he sighed in relief. It was short lived as he felt a sharp pain in his right side. Turning, he saw a wolf that was in his human form. Without caring about his own pain, he saw his friends had taken out most of the alphas. He had had Ji hide the omegas in an unknown bunker he'd built under the human city. No one knew about it but Ji and Hyun. He was thankful to the moon goddess for the foresight to build it all those years ago.

Still in his wolf form, he lunged at the 'human' and used his claws to rip his heart out. By now, all of the old alphas were dead or dying thanks to wolfsbane preventing them from healing. It was funny though. Everything around him began to go quiet and he didn't even realize he had shifted back to his human form until he saw his brother shift and run towards him. After that, all he saw was darkness. His last thought was that he'd failed his mate and broken his promise.

@Kim Ryeowook @Kim Ryeowook Right now Jihoon was not in the right state of mind to play nice. He wanted to rip someone's throat out and his vision was going red the more he thought about it. Thankfully his brother came in and just having him there helped. Ji was another story. As he ran to get soap and water and a brush to scrub it off with, he heard Seunghyun's question. "Ji don't get so worked up. Wookie is safe and I'm going to make sure you, he and all the other omegas stay that way. I promise I won't let anything happen to him." He had no way of contacting his mate, but he figured Ji might. "Do you have his phone number Ji? I need to let his parents know to be extra careful."
He then began scrubbing the walls. "Hyun, we need to do this now. I won't sleep until it's done." He knew his brother would know exactly what he was talking about. Many of their father's men hated that Jihoon was leading the pack now and even more they hated that he choose his half-brother to be his right hand. What did they expect? Blood was still thicker than water. "Ji, how would you feel about staying with Wookie for a few days? He misses you and wants to help with the baby." He quickly held up his hands. "I didn't realize he didn't know. I'm sorry if it was supposed to be a secret."
Jiyong growled at being told to calm down, but knowing what his mate and brother-in-law were about to go through, he agreed with Rain. Being with Wook would be a good idea. "I'll go stay with him under one condition. I want a full report at the end of each day and this is not a request. Jihoon you may be the pack leader, but I still care about you and I'm fairly sure Wookie does by now too." Rain nodded at his request and then took the number Ji gave him and punched it into his phone. After sending Hyun to help Ji pack, he sat on his bed heavily and hit the call button, then waited for Ryeowook to answer.

@Rain Seunghyun saw the blood words and gasped, "Oh ! Don't let Ji see thi..." He groaned when his mate entered seeing the words on the wall. He could tell the other was livid. "Babe, calm down. Your little Wookie, doesn't have to know and Hyung will make sure he's safe!" Top promised, looking to his brother for reassurance. "Right, Hyung. Your mate will always be safe in our pack."

@Kim Ryeowook Rain was still on cloud nine from having spent the entire evening with his mate and his mate's family, as well as the wolves from the other packs. His only regret was not getting to play with the puppy, but he knew the child needed his rest. As he opened his front door, he had an odd feeling. He knew he had locked it when he left, but then sometimes his brother would use his door. He didn't mind of course, but it wasn't like Seunghyun to forget to lock it behind him. That reminded him of his earlier fear that something was wrong with Jiyong.
As he walked into the house and locked the door behind him, he climbed the stairs to his bedroom and was assaulted with the smell of fresh blood. It didn't take long to figure out why when he entered his room. There, on the walls were the words half-breed and death. He didn't have to wonder what it meant, but he was furious. It was so much so that he howled without meaning too. He was sure that some of the humans heard him, but he didn't care. He'd find who'd done this and make them pay. Right now though he needed to check on Ji and Hyun and then scrub the blood from his walls.

@Kim Ryeowook Hearing his son, Leeteuk sigh. Was he really expected to just let his son go with the son of the man who threatened to kill him when he was only days old? How could anyone not expect him to object, but he knew it wouldn't do any good if this was what his eldest truly wanted. First though, he'd make sure it was what his child wanted and then he'd have a talk with Jihoon and his own mate. Watching the two together though, he could see a change in the alpha, almost as though he was content. As long as he'd known about Jihoon, the boy had seemed restless and indecisive as though he wasn't sure what to do with his own pack. Now he seemed to be sure of exactly what he wanted to do. That was good at least. Going back to his food, the omega secretly grinned at his son. Seeing his mate add more food to his still half full plate, Rain looked at him. "Wookie, are you trying to make me fat? I don't eat that much. And you know if Ji and Hyun find out about the food you and your eomma made, they are going to be jealous. Especially Ji. He loves mac and cheese although he's been craving rabbit and cherries." He shook his head and laughed. "Okay. Then I'll have the chocolate cake." He had to admit even though he didn't eat sweets, it sounded delicious.

[Who's going to play the puppy?]

@Rain "See, then it's all settled. Hoonie, Seunghyun-ssi, and Appa will overthrow the pack while Umma and I plan Ji's puppy shower and help him with his omega revolution from behind the scenes." Ryeowook states matter of factly, before serving up a bit more to Jihoon's plate. "As for dessert you should stick to the chocolate, it's dark so it's more bitter and the raspberries give it a tang that also cuts through the sugar." He promises once again turning his attention to his mate. The rest of the table almost unphased with how the tiny omega had simply decided how the family would be proceeding from here on out. It was as if Ryeowook really had been made to be the mate of a Pack Alpha, just waiting to be found.

@Kim Ryeowook Jihoon just chuckled and shook his head at the two siblings. "But you could really hurt them at times." Not realizing his comment was a big deal to his mate, the alpha smile thinking about what his voice would sound like. Although he was shocked at having his hand grabbed, he didn't show it. At the question Ryeowook raised, the younger alpha looked to his future father in-law and he hoped beyond hope that the man would agree. "Wookie, there's no if about it. I'm going to clean house. My dad's people are trying to control others and even trying to control me, Hyun and Ji. I don't want them anywhere near my family. That includes you if we mate. And you know I don't want them around my nephew when he's born." He looked at his mate with a look of admiration and love that he didn't even realize he was capable of.

@Rain Winking Wookie leaned over, "If I don't no one will, and they need hurting sometimes." He teases before coughing a little behind his napkin hearing Jihoon's response about his voice. Nodding Ryeowook took Jihoon's hand, "Of course not. I'm not just going to abandon my family. They're still my pack, our pack... I mean, we'd join packs. Wouldn't we Appa? If he cleaned house as you put it, what would be keeping us apart?" The young omega blinked cocking his head. "Hu, I guess... well, Wookie, that's a damned good question." The thing keeping them apart was the treatment of Ryeowook and with Wookie as their lead omega, well that would change everything.

@Kim Ryeowook Rain looked at Kyungsoo and was about to object when his mate smacked his brother. Leaning into his mate's ear, he said softly, "Baby, don't hurt your brother." He squeezed the boy's hand. "I know you do and I can't wait to hear it." He smiled at his mate trying to calm him down. The the alpha gave Jackson said no one was sharing his mate, but then he laughed at the way Kyuhyun shoved the bread in the boy's mouth. He quickly cut it off when Kangin spoke up. Leeteuk made a face and was about to open his mouth when his mate squeezed his knee. He didn't like this. He wouldn't see his son or have the boy's help. "No. They're just afraid for their brother and they don't want to lose him." Rain could see Leeteuk was in agreement with them. "Okay, look. Even if Wookie and I mate, family is important to me. I'm not trying to take him away from his family, just maybe add to it." He smiled at his mate, remembering how much he wanted a pup and squeezed his hand again. "I just want him to be happy. You will all still see him." In fact, if he had his way, they'd all live close to one another. Chuckling softly, he shook his head. "You're not. They all just love you dearly and don't want to lose you. I wish I had people that cared that much. Other than mom, hyung and Hyun, I've never had anyone who cared." Again it reminded him of his father's words. "Oh. I was hoping to play with him." He actually looked sad, but there would be other times, hopefully. "Since you made them, I will try both, but I'm not a huge fan of sweets. And that's what I did last night. After listening to the alphas complain all day, I had a dinner for them all. It was why I had to run last night. They drive me crazy. If not for Hyun and Ji, I think I really would be crazy by now." He hoped once he got rid of the alphas that were his father's men, he would enjoy it more. He also hoped his mate would be by his side as he'd said he wanted to be.

@Rain "You say that now, wait until he won't shut up." Mutter Kyungsoo, only to get his hand smacked by Ryeowook. "if you want any of the cake I made you stop scaring my mate." He growled sounding almost dangerous before huffing. "And I have a lovely voice. I've spent years perfecting it." He sniffed delicately before returning to his dinner. "If we're sharing custody of Ryeowookie, we want in on the dea--" Jackson was muffled as Kyuhyun shoved an entire roll into the other alpha's mouth. "Shut up. You're not even family. You can't claim Wookie!" He rolled his eyes. "NO ONE is time sharing your brother. For Goddess sake. Should he choose to mate Jihoon, once the Alpha has cleaned house, then he will do as is proper and live in his own den. Enough of this nonsense." Kangin finally growled with a shake of his head. "Forgive them, they're... stupid." He finally laughed squeezing his mate's knee knowing Leeteuk wasn't likely to like his previous words, but at least he'd made the cleaning house qualifier and made it clear mating was Ryeowook's choice in their eyes. Fr his part Wookie rolled his eyes and turned to his mate. "Like I'm a condo on the lake, suddenly? Sehunnie was getting fussy so I put him down for a nap. He has at least another half hour before he'll be ready to wake and eat. I made a raspberry chocolate cake, I hope you like it. If not I also made up some vanilla bean cupcakes. As for pack meals, they're important for building trust and respect. You should be hosting them, even if you only do it during pack meetings." Wookie advised seriously.

@Kim Ryeowook Rain shook his head. "I don't think I will. I happen to work best with music on, so live music would be even better." He was sure he'd enjoy it, besides he could always hide in his office if he needed quiet. Chuckling at his mate as the boy began to eat, he thought he was the most adorable thing ever. As he continued eating, he realized that if he started eating Wookie's cooking, he'd have to workout even harder to stay in shape. It was so good that he knew he wouldn't be able to just eat enough to not be hungry. At the mention of the puppy, the alpha remembered how cute he was. "Where is he?" He looked at his mate. He'd just assumed they all ate together. With a glint of laughter in his eyes, the alpha turned to face his mate. "Mr. Alpha? Since when am I Mr. Alpha? Wookie, you've chewed me out more than once now and told me in no uncertain terms how you feel. I think it's safe to say we're on a first name basis." He chuckled and then shook his head. "But to answer your question, no. Not if I can help it anyway. I don't particularly enjoy eating with people who remind me of my father." He looked down at his plate, remembering the last thing his father had ever said to him. "And it will, once I get rid of certain people. For now, I prefer to eat with my brother and Ji or alone." Peeking at his mate he grinned. "Or you know, you and your family." Jihoon couldn't resist laughing at the brothers. "Don't worry. Henry. You won't lose your brother. In fact, I don't even have permission to mate with him, so you can relax. I'm not taking him anywhere." He knew they loved their brother even if they gave him a hard time.

@Rain "You say that now, but you'll be begging me to shut up. I sing when I cook when I clean when I'm bored." Wookie grins, filling the plate as requested, maybe a little fuller than expected, before making his own and sitting. He realized everyone was silent and staring at him before he looked at his parents in confusion only to see his Appa nod to his plate. "Oh, that's just weird." He whispered, taking a quick bite of greens. Instantly everyone else dug in, praise and indecent sounds filling the air. "Hrmm, save some of the mac & cheese for the puppy. Sehunnie will want some." Ryeowook quickly leans over a brightly colored child's plastic bowl coming out of nowhere and getting filled with the pasta then set on a high board behind him. "You don't eat many families or pack meals do you, Mr. Alpha?" Ryeowook is now looking his mate over with a wary eye. "Well, that needs to change fast." He wrinkles his nose. Kyuhyun snorts and shakes his head, while Henry looks over at the lead alpha, "Are you like, really really sure you want to KEEP him, maybe we figure out a joint custody thing." The young beta shoveled a spoonful of food into his mouth.

@Kim Ryeowook "Believe me, Hyun won't let him stress and I think allowing him to start an omega revolt will keep him from stressing. Apparently he's been wanting to do it, but Seungie has begged him not to. I think it's a good idea now that I know what's going on." Hearing his mate, he chuckled and nodded. It told him that his idea and what he wanted to show his mate was a good idea. "Singing around the den...that would be nice. Haven't had much since mom died. Ji does every now and then, but it's not the same." He wanted to hear his mate sing, but it made Rain sad to think the only time his mate would really be that happy was when he was pupped. He'd have to do his best to make sure he was happy all the time. Good grief! Rain hadn't seen so much food in at least the last 15 years. Cooking for himself, he only ate enough to not be hungry. This was a banquet to him. As he stood there, he looked from Leeteuk to Wookie with eyes full of admiration and wonder. Jihoon smelled it too, but chuckled at Jackson. Leeteuk looked at him. "If you like it that much have Wookie make you one. Tonight was supposed to be for him and Jihoon to get to know each other a little better." As he said it, he frowned though, still not liking the idea. When Wookie directed him to sit, he felt awkward as though the boy's mom should occupy the seat opposite her mate, but he wouldn't argue. Sighing, the alpha looked at his omega. "You know you don't have to do that, but I don't want to offend you again, so..." he looked at all the food again, "Beef, greens, carrots, and mac and cheese please." He didn't normally eat potatoes and corn made him feel sick. The custom in a situation like this was the same for him, but he only observed it when he met his brother in-law. Otherwise, he didn't care normally. Then again, it was typically just him eating and that usually took place in his office. After everyone had their food, he took a bite of the beef and grinned. "This is delicious." Then he squeezed his mate's hand. "You're good for me, you know that?"

@Rain "I hope it's ok, he shouldn't be stressed out during his being pupped." Ryeowook pouted a little and sighed shaking his head at the idea that people were purposely upsetting his friend. "Oh, what?" Giggling Wookie shook his head. "Not if I'm like my Umma, he was basically glowed and hummed and sang the entire time he was pupped. Being pregnant was always when he's happiest." When they came into the dining room he smiled, he hadn't been kidding about how much they'd made. There were a ham and beef roast for meat. Greens, roasted potatoes, glazed carrots, and corn. "Oh! That's my oven timer, one moment." Ryeowook disappeared into the kitchen humming contentedly. "Oh... oh Goddess, seriously he made mac and cheese? I hate you guys for not inviting us from the start!" Jackson whined, sniffing the air and drooling a little. When Wook-ah returned he had a huge pan of homemade divine smelling and looking golden perfection that was set in the center of the table with two serving spoons on either end of it. Grinning he nodded to the end of the table opposite his Appa for his own Alpha, then sat to his mate's right, just as his Umma was seated to her mate's right. "What would you like, Jihoonie?" The other omega were already making plates for their alphas and themselves, but per custom, no one would eat until the lead alpha did, followed by his mate... tonight that was Jihoon and by default would be Ryeowook.

@Kim Ryeowook Jihoon couldn't stop the goofy grin that appeared on his visage as omega linked their fingers. It made him very happy. Oh he hadn't known that. Of course he knew his brother had been busy, but he figured it was his own business and hadn't asked. "That is probably what he and Hyun are doing. I'm going to go check on him when I leave. I have a feeling something is going on outside of his pregnancy." Hopefully he was wrong, but he was almost positive he wasn't. "Does that mean when you're pupped, you're going to be even more bossy and cranky?" He grinned so his mate would know he was only teasing, but he wondered if what he'd said would come true. "I don't know. I'm pretty sure Hyun is keeping him plenty occupied and satisfied." Since they still lived in the same den, it was hard not to hear certain things or smell them, but the house was big enough for them both to raise huge families. Again, his hypersensitive hearing was a problem. Looking at the table, he gasped. It was beautiful.

@Rain "Yes, we should." Wookie nodded stepping away once more with a sigh, but linking fingers with his alpha instead. "I saw Jiyongie a week ago. He's been out of school all this past week. One of the teacher's mentioned that his alpha called him in sick. We assumed it was his heat." Wookie shrugged, "If you're hiding the pregnancy then, it makes sense to keep his time on schedule." He adds nodding, sure that was the reason. "And if that's the case then he's probably bored and cranky from being locked up without the uh, distraction that one would normally have." He shakes his head moving into the dining room and sighing as he see's the lovely table his Umma had set. He and Leeteuk loved cooking and usually made too much, thank Goddess since they had four extra wolven mouths to feed, now.

@Kim Ryeowook The warmth from his mate's body calmed his pulse although he was sure the other could feel how fast his heart was beating. "Even so, I don't want him to feel bullied or anything like that. I want him to understand that I only want to love you." Was that what he was feeling? Love? He had no way of knowing without asking his brother, which he would when he got home. Speaking of home. "When was the last time you talked to Ji? When I called, he seemed upset and Hyun sounded agitated. I'm worried about what is going on." He knew his brother could handle it and that he was entitled to have fun, but at the same time, the idiots they dealt with could be volatile and that was never safe. "Wookie, Jihoon, dinner's ready." It was Leeteuk calling them just as he'd promised. Not wanting to let go of his mate, the alpha sigh. "We should go eat."

@Rain Ryeowook buried into the warm hold, this time cuddling into it, not pulling away. He sighed nodding and grinned at the mention of his Umma. "Don't worry, you have me and Appa on your side. He's much more manageable with Appa on your side. At least, usually... unless he does something horrible like make Appa sleep in his office. Then all bets are off." He warns instantly because the twice something got bad enough for his Umma to kick their appa out of bed, Kangin folded like a deck of cards. Leeteuk wasn't one to argue or fight usually so when he did, it was important to him and Kangin would finally stop, listen and realize how stupidly wrong he was.

@Kim Ryeowook [Haha I don't even remember, but next time I listen I'll tell you.]


Rain understood his line of thinking, because he'd honestly thought he'd never mate. In fact, he'd already told Seunghyun one of his pups would have to take over when the elder alpha got too old. "I thought I'd grow old alone and without any kids, because I hadn't found you and I felt empty to be honest. That's also why no one was ever enough for me." He'd been waiting for Ryeowook even when he didn't know what or who he was waiting for. Shaking his head, Jihoon wrapped the boy in his arms again and smiled. "And what do you think about your mate now?" Oh boy. Kyuhyun hadn't lied. The alpha actually had to look away for a moment, but when he heard the request, he couldn't resist looking at his mate. "No. It's not selfish at all, but I'm not going anywhere baby. You're stuck with me. Now I just have to convince your mom that I wouldn't dream of hurting you." This time, before he let go, he pecked the boy's lips quickly.

@Rain ((LOL Which part?))

Cocking his head to the side, Ryeowook put one delicate slim finger to his lip. "I guess, well... I guess I never considered that I'd even have an offer of help through it. I just assumed I'd have my family, my music, and then I have my friends. That, that was all I'd get." He blinked looking up a little baffled suddenly. "I always assumed my mate would be like everyone else and not want me because I wasn't good enough." The pout reformed on his face, bringing with it those sad eyes only this time, as Kyuhyun had warned, they were far more deadly because they were unintentional. "I thought this was the best I'd get. I'm... is it selfish I want to mate my next heat partially to be sure you can't run or change your mind?"

@Kim Ryeowook [Omg GD's Who You was just playing in the background and for whatever reason, I thought of Wookie on part of it. Lol.]

At the look on his mate's face and the boy's surprise, he laughed. "Yes Wookie. I was nervous. I didn't know what would happen and well, after last night I thought you hated me and didn't want me. I was going to bring you a gift, but I didn't know what to get and I didn't have Ji around to ask. I do have things that terrify me and just like you, rejection is one of them. You probably think I can do whatever I want and technically I can, but my mom taught me better. She taught me to respect other and care about what they wanted too." He smiled indulgently at the boy, knowing that line of thinking made perfect sense. "Does that bother you? If it does, there are other ways to help you through it."

@Rain Looking up, Ryeowook bit his lip again, the draw to his mate was killing him so he stepped close once more. Jihoon's touch helped sooth his embarrassment and the knowledge that the other didn't find him lacking also helped. "You were nervous too?" Gasping Ryeowook looked up wide-eyed. "If you do that we would be mated, like... like... you'd be committing to... I mean, before the whole pack."

@Kim Ryeowook "Wookie, I never thought you were ignorant. You grew up in a family that believed you should be treated no differently than your siblings and I agree. I am sure your heats have been very difficult and I'm sorry about that. What your mom did is not unusual though and I'm glad you had the help." He smiled softly, but then frowned as the boy pulled away from him. Did he really hate his touch THAT much? In an attempt to not grab his mate again, he wrapped his arms around himself. "So then you understand that I don't really care about any of the people I've been with. It was all purely instinctual and basic animal needs." He sigh and looked at the boy, hoping he'd look at him in return. "Wookie, I care about you. If I didn't, I wouldn't be here and I wouldn't have made a fool of myself in front of Hyun last night. Do you have any idea how nervous I was about tonight?" Wookie could have refused him and there was nothing he could have done. At least nothing he WOULD have done except go home and his wounds. "When is your next heat? I will help you through it."

@Rain Cheeks coloring even brighter Wookie bit his lip. "I'm... Alpha! I'm a but not nieve in the ways of biology. My parents believe in empowering their pups as much as possible and knowledge is power. I'm nearly twenty winters gone now and that means I'm long into my... uh... time. Despite my undesirability, it hasn't stopped that from being an issue." He suddenly remembered what his Umma had said about how painful they were when spent alone with no help and swallowed. "Of course my Umma helped by providing, uh... instruments to ease the issue." He stepped away feeling entirely humiliated with this entire line of conversation because really he'd only talked of this with Jiyong outside of his family and even then it had left him in giggles because it was silly gossip not so serious. "As for the alpha side of things each of my brother's, two of who are alphas, are well into their teen winters now I do know, disturbingly well, what an alpha rut is and exactly how you guys handle them. Kyuhyun can go through three hired omegas." He whispered almost scandalized and shook his head patting his enflamed cheeks.
