Getting the omegas to eat anything during their heats was Seungmin’s biggest fight. The alphas will eat them out of house and home during the peak of their ruts, but even in preheat, all the omegas want to do is play or sleep. So Seungmin being the good beta he is, puts himself in charge of making sure they eat and stay hydrated, a role he’s rarely had an issue with until now. Jeongin has always been a really good eater, especially during his ruts, so Seungmin feels a little lost when, this time around, the youngest alpha is consistently turning down food. Two days into his rut and he’s barely eaten anything Seungmin tries to feed him, it’s honestly starting to piss him off.

“Hyunjin’s going to come back down here with dinner and you better eat it you little brat.” As usual, Seungmin’s tough love is meant just as that, lovingly. He hates seeing Jeongin so down more than anything and if this is what he has to do to get him to take care of himself, or even let anyone take care of him so be it! He and Jeongin came into this pack as a pair, Seungmin taking care of the younger long before he has presented and bloomed into the young alpha he is now, so his care for him is never-ending, because that’s what you do when you love someone as much as Seungmin loves Jeongin. The alpha has remained super attentive to his pack mates just like he would any other cycle, he gives in to the omegas’ whines and whims, and he even happily bottoms for Minho, which Seungmin is happy to see, not wanting their other mates to suffer due to Jeongin’s sour mood but he could seemingly give less of a damn about his own needs and wants Other than his deeply rooted need for you of course, and that worries the beta to no end.

So when Hyunjin descends the stairs down into the den Jeongin immediately perks up, your milky scent coming off of the beta in waves.

“Y/N? You saw Y/N? Did she look okay? Did she ask about us?” The beta can’t help but cringe at the way Jeongin sits in front of him like an eager little puppy, but he loves the alpha so he’ll look past it for now.

“She’s exactly how you left her two days ago pabo! She actually made us dinner and sent me down here with some extra gifts.” The beta smirks as he waves the bag of scented clothes in Jeongin’s face. Just as the alpha goes to snatch the bag of clothes, Seungmin pulls him back by the collar of his shirt. Now that you have given Seungmin the perfect bartering tools, he’ll have to thank you once this is all over.

“Don’t even think about it. You don’t get any treats until you eat. I’m sure your omega made this food with just as much love as she scented the clothes with, so sit down and eat.”

The pack rarely refers to the omegas as anyone’s omega, at least not seriously, because they all share and love equally, the hierarchy and ownership that lots of packs have never sat right with them, but in situations like during playful moments or during ruts, especially with Jeongin’s more primal nature, hearing an omega referred to as their own is exactly what their alpha needs to relax. They all see the way Jeongin perks up at the idea of eating the food you took the time to make, it’s the most interested he’s been in food in days, of course he wants your scent but he’s not upset at the prospect of eating the food you prepared for him. Minho can’t help but snicker at how deep down the youngest alpha just wanted you to be the one to take care of him. Seungmin thinks for a moment, maybe they should have left Jeongin up there instead of Chan… No. The pack alpha is the most level-headed during his ruts, far more than Jeongin can be. You’re safest with him, no matter how much the younger one will cry about it.

“Don’t tease.” Changbin slaps Minho’s arm rougher than he meant to, but at least he’s getting his point across. Don’t mess with the baby alpha right now.

Once Jeongin finishes his food, Seungmin carefully distributes the clothes you sent down for the pack not wanting to deal with any fighting over the scented fabrics. The youngest alpha holds your hoodie up to his nose and inhales so deeply that some may be unsure if he’d breathe normally again. He takes a moment to smell every note, the sweet but tangy cherry that has made him never be able to see the fruit the same again, the warm vanilla complimenting the creamy milk brought on by your pregnant state. Goddess, he misses you both so much. He feels his nerves start to ease as your scent takes over his body, his alpha now content knowing both you and the pup are upstairs, safe and sound.

Just when everything starts to settle just in time for their next waves to start creeping up soon a loud gasp comes from Jisung as he clutches his chest. The others look confused for just a second before they soon follow suit. A stunned silence settles over the room for a moment before a growl rips from Jeongin’s chest.

“He fucking claimed her,” Jeongin’s growl is deep and heavy, almost loud enough to shake the walls of their soundproof basement. The alpha drops your hoodie from his grasp as he exits the nest ready to charge upstairs and rip his hyung’s teeth out himself for ever daring to bring them near your throat like this. Seungmin is wobbly on his feet, still in shock and reeling from the feelings of someone joining their bond, but he has to be strong. The beta grabs his younger mate with a low warning growl, gripping his jaw to make sure he’s looking at him.

“Calm down.” Jeongin goes to snap at the beta but his grip tightens, keeping his mouth shut. Seungmin uses his free hand to point towards the alpha’s chest.

“Do you feel her? I know you feel it, you know she’s fine.” Jeongin’s eyes soften as he focuses in on your branch of the bond, he feels you, you’re clearly a little frazzled but content, happy even. You wanted this, he can’t deny that. But he can’t ignore the pit of jealousy that settles in his belly.

“But- He- She can’t-“ Jeongin stutters out as Seungmin lets his fresh cotton scent wash over him. Everyone in the room is impressed at how well he pushes away the burnt scent that should mask his calming scent, they know Seungmin, they know he’s furious right now, his scent should be sour and not at all helpful to the current environment. But as he always does, Seungmin is putting his mates first, before his own emotions, before his own desire to tear into his pack alpha.

“Look at them. They need you. Be a good alpha for your pack okay? I will take care of Chan.” Seungmin’s grip on Jeongin’s jaw loosens as he turns his head, forcing him to look at the two shaking omegas in the nest, the others desperately trying to comfort them even though they also feel a million emotions over this. His eyes meet Jisung’s, the omega isn’t screaming or crying as they’d all expect from him, no he’s just staring off into space as Minho rubs soothing circles on his back trying desperately to prevent a sub drop. Felix on the other hand is almost as combative as Jeongin was a few moments ago.

“How could he do this to us? To her? He didn’t even talk to us! We’re a pack! I didn’t even know pregnant omegas could be mated! What if something goes wrong?” Felix’s voice is even deeper than it usually is, soaked with the fiery anger he feels.

“Don’t even think like that.” Changbin lets out a low growl.

“Guys! Both she and the pup are okay. Seungmin’s going to go check on her right now, right Minnie?” Hyunjin runs his slender hand through his hair in frustration, his eyes pleading with his fellow beta to help him fix this mess their hyung has caused.

Chan’s never been in the back of an ambulance.

When Minho sliced his finger and needed stitches Chan was able to drive him to the hospital himself. When Jeongin fell and dislocated his shoulder Chan popped it back into place. While of course, Chan cries every time his mates get hurt. Still, the difference between all their bruises and sniffles and his first ambulance ride today is that he got to listen to his packmates groan about how much he’s smothering them, softly verbalize about how they are okay and he doesn’t need to worry. You’re silent. Even your scent has softened; he knows it’s a protective instinct, thanks to your omega, but god, does he hate it. Everything is too quiet.

It’s a stark contrast to the hospital. It’s all so loud. Too many questions for Chan’s liking.

“You’re her mate?” Is it not obvious? He’s inseparable from you, he’s bawling his eyes out, would a stranger act like this?

“Yes. Pack alpha. We have a pack bond, seven other mates.” He needs to call them.

“How far along is she?”

“Shouldn’t that be in her virtual chart?” Of course, he’s feeling agitated, but they just want to help. He knows he has to keep it together, these nurses are betas and omegas, they probably experience so many agitated alphas who scream and abuse them when they’re just trying to do their job, and he’s not like that. A deep sigh leaves his lips. “I’m sorry, she’s twenty-eight weeks.” The nurse nods respectfully, she understands, or at least Chan hopes she does.

“Don’t worry, we have her chart and we have someone in contact with Dr. Kim as well. Your omega is in good hands Mr. Bahng. Now, was it an omega or an alpha that attacked her?” The question causes the alpha to tense up, because he actually doesn’t know for sure. He has no idea who this person was who attacked you or why they did it.

“They smelled vaguely of omega, lavender scent but powerful. I’m sorry a lot of it’s blurry.” He frowns wishing once again he could be of more help.

“It’s okay, just want to make sure we have that information so we know what we can give her and how to proceed.” The nurse smiles softly before joining the other nurses working on your case at the moment sharing the details she now knows with them. Of course, as soon as Chan reaches for his phone a police officer enters your hospital room. Chan isn’t sure he’s ever stood up so fast in his life, words spilling out of his mouth faster than he can even think.

“Look, sir, I had no choice but to tackle that woman. She was going to kill my omega, I had to stop her! Please don’t take me away from her and my pup!” Fresh tears are streaming down his face and his hands begin to shake. He hadn’t even thought about the consequences but now he’s looking them right in the eye. The pack isn’t even here. He hasn’t called them. If they take him away, you’d have no one. He can’t leave you alone, you hate being alone. The officer reaches out to hold Chan’s shoulder but in his panicked state, the alpha assumes he’s about to be arrested so he flinches.

“Relax Mr. Bahng. Nobody is taking you away from anyone, I was going to ask if you wanted to talk in a private room but I assume you’d feel more comfortable here, yes?” Chan’s eyes widen as he nods vigorously.

“Alright, well we spoke with the staff and reviewed the security footage. Mrs. Park has been put under arrest following her discharge from the hospital. You’re not in any trouble, but we’d like you to give a statement.”

“Mrs. Park? Is that the woman who attacked Y/N? Who is that? Why would she hurt her?” A million thoughts run through his head.

“Sir, Mrs. Park is Y/N’s biological mother.” Suddenly, the hospital room feels so small, suffocated by the now-saltier ocean scent, like a beach on its stormiest day.

“I need to call my pack.” He blurts out, he can’t think right now, only pack.

“Alright, we can pick this up after you’ve settled.” The officer nods briefly before exiting the room. Chan knows his pack, they are understanding, they are kinder to him than he’ll ever think he deserves, but they love you. How could he as pack alpha tell his pack that you got hurt on his watch?

Just as Chan assumes, the pack is in shambles.

Hyunjin wasn’t even home when he felt a bone-shattering pain spread through his chest.

He’s at the dance studio helping Minho clean up after a class when his knees suddenly feel like jello. It takes him a moment to focus on the bond, his breath caught in his throat. The second he realizes it’s you his head spins as his knees give up on him. He falls to the floor with a groan of Minho’s name. The alpha comes running from the front office of the dance studio immediately pulling the beta into his arms.

“I know, I know. Come on get up, we gotta get back to the house!” If Hyunjin wasn’t so panicked he’d notice the tears welling up in the alpha’s eyes.

Minho is the king of safety in the pack, he mother hens like no other, so he hopes Hyunjin doesn’t remember how fast he’s driving today. Minho speeds down the streets towards their home as Hyunjin fumbles with his phone in the passenger seat.

“Neither of them is picking up! What happened? They went to the fucking mall what could have happened?”

“Jinnie please. Please just breathe.” The alpha pleads, seeing his mate so upset is only making it harder to focus.

“How can I breathe? What if Y/N-“ Minho cuts him off refusing to allow that thought to finish.

“Don’t. Don’t you dare say that. We can still feel both of them

in the bond, I’m sure all three of them are okay. Chan wouldn’t let anything happen to them.” Hyunjin slumps back into the passenger seat returning his attention to your contact in his phone.

The scene at the house is even more devastating. Hyunjin jumps out of the car as soon as Minho parks, rushing inside only to find both omegas sitting on the kitchen floor inconsolable no matter how hard Changbin had been trying. Hyunjin and Minho join them all on the floor, all of them now trying to get in contact with their mates.

Their heads snap towards the door in unison, the whole house suddenly smelling of mud fresh after a massive rainstorm. The way Jeongin slams the door behind him and Seungmin causes everyone to flinch, but he’s too lost in his emotions to notice. Without a word, the alpha reaches the pack in the kitchen scooping Felix up into his arms. Nobody protests, knowing this is the best reaction the youngest alpha could have right now, he’s self-soothing, using the omega’s pheromones as a sedative to take even a fraction of the edge off. The kitchen is a mix of sour scents and worried tapping on cellphones, but nobody says a word until Changbin finally peeks up from his phone.

“Their locations updated! But, they’re at the hospital?” The alpha’s words are phrased more like a question. A deep sense of dread covers the pack like a blanket. A million questions running through their heads. Yet none of them misses the way Jeongin’s eyes darken.

“Hospital? Let’s go then! What are we waiting for?” The younger alpha barks, as if it’s an order. But it’s not an order his pack is all that willing to follow at the moment. They need to keep a level head, they can’t just rush into a hospital with no information and cause a scene, they’d all get kicked out and then they’d really have to wait to see their mates. Trusting Chan has never failed them, so they are willing to wait.

“I think it’s best we wait for one of them to contact us first.” Seungmin always had to be the voice of reason, even in times like this. Jeongin looks around at his mates, his eyes begging and pleading for one of them to disagree, someone to be ready to run with him to that hospital and make sure their mates are okay but they all just look at him with this solemn look, which makes Jeongin sick. The alpha places Felix back in his original spot with Jisung before getting up to meet them all at eye level.

“Wait? You want to fucking wait around while our Pack Alpha and our Luna are clearly suffering? What kind of mate are you?” A loud growl rips from Jeongin’s chest as he gets closer to the beta now, his anger focusing itself on him for even suggesting such an idea. Two things are true, Seungmin has thick skin and he loves his mates more than anything on this planet. So for now he’ll ignore the fresh tears that run down his flushed cheeks, instead, he tries his best to push out his calming beta pheromones, desperate to calm the alpha. It always worked, even long before Jeongin had presented as an alpha. Seungmin's scent always soothed him. So why wasn’t it working now? The beta remembers him and Jeongin joining this pack, a stubborn beta and his unpresented pup. What happened to his pup?

“Yang Jeongin, you don’t speak to our mates like that!” Minho scowls. It’s always been an understanding that if for any reason Chan isn’t around Minho is in charge. Jeongin barely flinches at the older alpha’s words but flinches none the less, he’s yelling at his Minnie hyung, he’s scaring his pack. But this pain is unbearable, he can’t stand doing nothing about it. The younger alpha tries to find his voice but the sound of a phone ringing rattles in his brain.

“It’s Chan,” Jisung says, looking down at his cellphone as if it were a bomb. The bomb isn’t the phone though, the bomb manifests in the form of a twenty-five-year-old alpha still dealing with the inner turmoil of his late presentation.

“Jisung what are you doing answer the fucking phone!” Jeongin growls before he's swiftly pushed to the ground by the back of his neck by Minho. He loves Jeongin just as much as he loves all his mates, but he doesn’t care who you are, if you disrespect his omegas he’ll tear you apart with his own teeth. Luckily for Jeongin Minho does love him, so a rough scruffing will suffice.

“Don’t you dare speak to our omega like that,” Minho growls louder than the younger alpha making sure he and his wolf get the point before he lays Jeongin’s now more relaxed form onto the ground.

With that settled Jisung picks up the phone.

“Chan, please tell me you have answers.” Jisung’s voice trembles through the phone and Chan thinks he might just die right there.

“I’m so sorry I kept you all waiting and worried. Am I on speaker baby?” It’s a stupid question, of course, he is. His pack wouldn't be able to wait any longer even if just long enough for Jisung to retain and relay the information. They’ve waited long enough.

“Of course! What happened? Are they okay?” Chan takes a deep breath before he has to drop the ball on his pack.

“Y/N… she was attacked at the antique shop.” The alpha can hear a chorus of gasps over the phone, he wants nothing more than to be there to comfort his mates.

“What do you mean? By who? Is she okay?” He can feel the panic rising from Jisung’s side of the bond, it only makes him feel sicker.

“Breathe baby. Both Y/N and the pup are okay. Y/N hasn’t woken up yet but the doctors are still looking her over. As of right now they don’t think anything major was damaged and she’ll just need stitches.”

The sound of seven lungs deflating fills the room. The burden sitting over them was heavy but knowing you’re alive and possibly on the road to recovery, now it resembles more of a boulder than the entire earth’s weight.

“You said she hasn’t woken up, do they know when she will? Should we head over there?” It’s phrased as a question but it’s more of a warning, telling Chan they will come see their omega, they just need to know how soon.

“They won’t be able to say for sure without getting all the test results back but they think her body might just be in shock, she’ll wake up, she’s strong. If you guys are going to come, could you pack a bag for her? A change of clothes, some toiletries, a comfort item, nothing crazy. Just want to make sure she’s got everything for when she’s ready to go home or in the worst-case scenario she has to stay a bit after waking up.” Jisung can hear the solemn smile that rests on his pack alpha’s lips

“Yeah, of course! We’ll tell you when we’re on our way, just call if you need anything okay? I love you Channie Hyung.” Chan can feel the tears rising once again, but he pushes them

down. He has to be strong for his pack.

“I love you too Hannie.”

A deep silence falls over the kitchen only broken by the sound of the youngest alpha getting up, still a little groggy on his feet from the scruffing. He doesn’t say a word, simply makes his way upstairs. Minho opens his mouth to scold him, to tell him they aren’t done here but a tender hand rests on his chest stopping the words from spilling.

“Let him be for now. I’ll talk to him.” Hyunjin's voice is smooth, calming, everything a beta needs to be in a time like this. Nobody objects to the beta’s course of action, allowing him to follow their youngest alpha upstairs.

Your room usually smells so heavily, like a sweet cherry milk Hyunjin could drink forever. Right now your smell still lingers of course but the scent of a nasty rainstorm fills the space, it’s so strong that Hyunjin flinches once it hits his nose.

“Not now Hyung, I’ll apologize to Jisung and Seungmin later. I need to get a bag ready for Y/N, I just can’t find that shirt she likes.” Jeongin doesn’t look at Hyunjin when he talks, his words feel distant, cold, not his Jeongin.

“Innie, relax for a second.” The beta tries to break through to him but the alpha is far more focused on digging through the drawers of your dresser, determined to find that t-shirt you told him you love so much.

“I gotta find this shirt, she’ll want to be comfy when she’s able to go home. It’s her favorite shirt hyung, I got it for her! She told me the seams don’t irritate the skin on her stomach like other shirts do. I can’t find this shirt, I can’t fucking do anything can I? I couldn’t even keep her safe!”

Jeongin is kind. Jeongin is protective. Jeongin is the pack’s baby. Sometimes it feels like Jeongin has more love than he could ever fit in his body, he’s the perfect alpha made of smiles, muscles, and love. The entire pack has seen Jeongin cry over everything from spilling soju all over Chan’s favorite jacket to the night he broke down after you showed up. Hyunjin had seen him cry countless times, he’s a sensitive soul as much as he tries to hide behind his alpha. The way he crumbles in front of Hyunjin right now is different. It’s pitiful. It makes Hyunjin feel sick. The beta takes careful steps towards his younger mate who’s now almost hunched over on himself in agony, a devastating mess of tears and loud heavy sobs.

“Yeni… It’s okay. There’s nothing you could have done.”

“I should have been there! I could have stopped the attack! I could have saved her!” Jeongin’s voice shatters with every word, his full body trembles wrack his body. Hyunjin’s strides are careful before he pulls the broken alpha into his arms.

“Shhh, it’s okay. I’ve got you.” The beta coos as he brings the two of them down to sit on the floor. He sways back and forth with the alpha in his arms, his precious baby.

“Hyung, I’m a horrible alpha, I hurt Seungmin and Jisung, I couldn’t save Y/N! What can I do?” Hyunjin’s eyes widened at his younger mate’s words.

“That’s not true Innie and you know it. Everyone adores you, yes you do need to apologize to everyone downstairs but they’re still our understanding mates, they know how strong your instincts are, they will forgive you”

“I didn’t want to yell at them, I just feel so much pain and anger and nothing is within my control! I feel like I’m going feral. I lost even more control and yelled at my mates, I made Seungmin cry, he probably hates me now. It’s not fair, Hyung. They didn’t deserve that, fuck she doesn’t deserve this! We promised her safety and we failed her!” The youngest alpha sobs and whimpers in Hyunjin’s arms. The older wolf isn’t sure what to say, and at this point, he isn’t sure if anything he could say would even help.

The two sit together on your bedroom floor for a while, the only sound moving through the tension-filled air is the sound of Jeongin’s whimpers and sniffles. Call him a hypocrite but Hyunjin wishes he could just fix everything. He hates seeing his mates like this. If anyone has failed the pack he’s sure it’s him.

“Is she gonna be okay?” Jeongin’s whimpers can barely be heard through the muffle of Hyunjin’s chest but he hears him loud and clear. He wishes he had the answer, the kind of optimism that glues everything back together again, but Hyunjin has never been one to lie to his mates especially not when it comes to serious situations like this.

“Our omega is a fighter. I can only hope she’d fight just as hard to stay with us.”
