Delta's Den

@✾ δ。Woo Jiho "No, actually. You needed me quite a few times. I stepped up to defend you those times, and even Jongdae did. It seems as if you're too focused on the one time I wasn't there." Wonho stares before just laughing. This was ing stupid, and there was no way they'd come to an agreement. Not when the beta was acting so one sided and stubborn. "You're irrational right now. I'm not dealing with this. I've got enough stress, and don't need to consider you another. I'm sorry I can't follow you every waking second and guess when you need help. I'm sorry I want you to come to me when you have a problem so I know you even want me to interfere. I'm sorry I don't want to deal with some hungry delta who wants to get a train ran on him by some ing alphas. We're done. Leave."

@✾ δ。Woo Jiho "I'm sorry I can't hound after you every second. You will not pin this on me and make it seem like I'm the bad guy." His voice was getting louder, meaning it was becoming almost impossible to keep calm. "I am the leader because I made decisions that are best for the whole. I'd honestly rather you step down from your rank until you figure out what you want. I don't know where this is coming from or why you have such an issue with Jongdae."

@✾ δ。Woo Jiho Huffing slightly, Wonho simply shook his head and took a few steps back. "You never asked me for help, Jiho. You ran to others first, and I'm not going to be the blame for that. Why don't you go join that pack. I think we'll be better off."

@✾ δ。Woo Jiho Wonho stared for a moment, almost a deadpan at the beta's words and actions. "What if I told you I wanted him as a my mate, hm? Would you still turn your nose up to someone who's so passionate to help our pack? Sejong is hidden for a good reason." He snarled, feeling his temper close to bubbling over. Such passive aggressive remarks would only cause him to lose it. "Why don't you show your belly to all the alpha's who spare you a second glance, hm? Seems like that's all you want is to be treated like toy. I won't let these pups be raised by someone so careless."

@✾ δ。Woo Jiho "I'm giving you an out, Jiho. You won't hurt my feelings, and no one will suffer. Leave, and continue on the path you're choosing for yourself." Wonho said with a sigh, not finding it in him to fight with the beta while the pups were within an earshot.

@✾ δ。Woo Jiho "I would strip you of your rant for a multitude of other things you're getting yourself into, Jiho. Don't peg me as naive." Wonho corrected the other as set the knife down, not wanting any wrong ideas to pop up. A small inhale was taken to relax his mind and ease the tension that was making his stomach rumble. It wasn't easy to push him to his point of dominance, but once there it was almost impossible to come back in a quiet manner. "I don't know. What I do know is I like having him around. He's the only one that defended Sejong when everyone else was so ready to send him away. You couldn't possibly understand how much that meant to me. A rogue, protecting a pup that I had personally been looking after these past weeks." His tone was dark, and it took everything in him not to snarl at the beta who thought so little of the omega who had helped him. One hand reached out to grab a nearby towel to wipe the blood from his chest and throat just in case a pup wandered in. The last thing they needed was one of the little ones to walk in and see two wolves arguing while one was covered in blood.

@✾ δ。Woo Jiho Trust. Such a funny word coming from the other. Biting back a harsh remark, Wonho simply turned to stare at the beta for a moment before inhaling. "Do you still want you rank? I feel like it might be too much for you. I'd rather you rest, or move on before burning yourself out." His face was full of indifference to whatever would happen.

@✾ δ。Woo Jiho Wonho glanced at the other wolf, only to chuckle softly and shake his head. "Jiho, I'd trust him with my own blood. It'd be more dangerous for me to take all of them alone. If anything, you should talk to him." He reasoned. There was no use in mentioning any more detail, and instead he focused on getting the perfect cuts of meat. Everything else would be used later, since he refused to let anything go to waste*

@✾ δ。Woo Jiho ((You're fine~ Just know you don't have to mirror my length, love.))

Once the large animal was on a hook, Wonho carefully removed all the skin to make a pelt for later. Daily hunts were pretty much required for feeding the pups. Add in the fact that he was the only alpha, and his other beta was busy watching the small ones.. it meant most of his time was spent in the forest. Which was a bonus, since he could hone his hunting skills as well as exercise. As much as lifting weights for three hours was fun, there was something way more enjoyable about taking down an animal and bringing it home for your pack. "I'd want to take a few wolves with me. I think.. Jongdae would be a good addition. He's good with kids, and hunts well. You'd have to stay and guard the rest of the litter, so maybe I'll find another person to bring along. That's a really good idea though, Jiho." He said with a small grin. Carefully he carved out the largest pieces of meat before getting the other's that were only really suitable for curing. Personally, Wonho loved elk jerky and it had been a long time since he indulged in such a treat.

@✾ δ。Woo Jiho Nodding his head slowly, Wonho realized how silly his idea was. Yet it brought something else to mind. "Okay, okay. Even then... when I get back and everything is order? I want you to get some rest while I watch out for the pups." Although his tone was soft, it was a command. With a small grin, he pulled back and ran his finger's through the smaller male's hair to get a good look at his eyes. There was something troubling him, but it wasn't his job to pry into his pack's life until it became a necessity. Instead he stood up and pulled off his shirt, folding it neatly before stepping outside. "I'll be back in an hour.. just leave my pants out here." He chuckled before finishing with the rest of his clothes to shift. Once in wolf form, he took a moment to stretch his long limbs as muscles flexed underneath his pure white coat. It took a moment, but after shaking out his fur he took off towards the forest to find the largest animal he could take down.

It took maybe thirty minutes for him to track something worth bringing home to his pack. From then on, it was only another ten until the animal was lifeless. Teeth sunk into the elk's neck as he began the long process of dragging it back to the delta den. The long distance meant most of the blood had dribbled out, making the clean up that much easier.... except for himself. When Wonho finally arrived, he placed the animal near the front before poking his head inside. His white fur was tainted red around his chin and neck, but it would only take a minute to clean up. His blue eyes scanned the room for a moment before locating his pack's delta to let out a soft chirp to get his attention. When he was back outside, the alpha shifted back to his human form and pulled on the pants near the door. His entire chest was dripping with the animal's blood, but he didn't hesitate to lift the elk in order to take him to the cleaning station.

@✾ δ。Woo Jiho Looking around the room, Wonho shrugged his shoulders. "You're doing an amazing job, Jiho. Why don't you get some rest while I hunt? When I come back, we'll clean the kill together and then clean up the den." He offered while moving to sit a little closer. Quietly he reached both arms out to pull the beta into a small embrace. It wasn't anything romantic, but it was intimate between ranks. Trust was the only thing keeping their pack together, and to build that you needed physical contact every now and again. "Take a nap.. I'll be back in like an hour." The larger male whispered before pulling back to get a good look at the delta's face.

@✾ δ。Woo Jiho Carefully sitting down, Wonho leaned back against the wall only to chuckle softly. Little guys definitely kept his hands full, and his skills sharp. "Dried meat for breakfast won't do their bodies any good. I'll go tonight and fetch something for breakfast. If I don't land anything large, I'll hunt in the morning as well." He decided. Hunting for his pack was probably the one thing that kept him so calm. If he wasn't able to release his anger in places, he'd probably be like all the rest.

@✾ δ。Woo Jiho It has been a rather trying day, and all Wonho could think about was the future of his pack. Unlike most alpha's, he took a large hunk of his time with them. It seemed like it was a common thought that omegas and betas only took care of the pups, but that was foolish. Carefully stepping inside, he greeted his delta was a small grin before walking closer. It was late, so he made sure to be as quiet as possible. "Good evening Jiho.. how are the cubs doing? Do I need to hunt for fresh meat yet, or are they still working on the last elk?"
