Chapter Text

As soon as they crossed the last territorial border into their own, Donghyuck was lowered to the ground and Yukhei sent ahead to run at his full potential to inform head Alpha that they were close.

The Alpha nodded at Mark and Renjun, slid Donghyuck a last glance and then changed into his wolf and ran off. The second Donghyuck needed to blink was enough for the young wolf to completely disappear from sight and earshot.

Donghyuck was too out of it to wonder about the unusual speed and strength, happy to close his eyes for the few minutes Mark stood still and listened into the forests. It was late into the afternoon, evening really, and Donghyuck was tired, sweaty and short of breath, the heat in his veins back to torment him, his ass wet from his own slick again.

On their way through the different territories he'd had only enough of a mind left to not rut against Mark while the man had been running, but as soon as he was lowered to the ground he whimpered and reached out for the Beta, unable to help himself as he rutted pathetically against the man's flexed thigh.

Mark sighed and quickly gathered him back into his arms as he snapped at Renjun that they'd run to the next riverbank to bathe in the hopes of cooling Donghyuck down.

Renjun scoffed, but didn't say a word, just turned angry eyes on Donghyuck who was too out of it to flinch back. Dazed and aroused, Donghyuck stared at the seething Alpha without a thought of fear in his head, all his senses consumed by lust and the need to mate.

He shuddered in Mark's arms, more slick dribbling out of his ass and sliding down the curve of it. Mark's hand accidentally touched it before the thick liquid had his fingers sliding in between his ass cheeks, getting drenched in slick.

The Beta grimaced, but grabbed around the Omega's knees without wiping his hand, carrying him sideway in his arms again at a loss of a better way to handle Donghyuck's leaking ass.

Donghyuck groaned, because this position made it impossible to rut, though that didn't keep him from trying. He was almost crying in frustration when they reached the small river and Mark lowered him into the cold water.

Donghyuck cried out in surprise, but the unexpected bath was not unpleasant. It cooled down the heat surging through his body instantly and washed away the dried and itching slick as well as the new stains on his skin. It also cleaned him from the layers of sweat and dust and dirt that had gathered on his skin. Not even once in his life had Donghyuck felt as dirty– not even a week ago when he had been taken to that forest clearing to be fucked and bathed in his birth pack mates' cum.

He hastily took off his ruined tunic and scrubbed clumsily at his skin, his hand pressing firmly between his ass cheeks and rubbing the flat of his palm against his cock, trying his best to ignore the jolts of pleasure shooting through his body at his own touch. He was completely bare in front of his new packmates for the first time, but Donghyuck was too out of it to feel anything but relief at the way the cool water soothed the itch and burn on his skin.

He allowed Mark to lower him deeper after he had cleaned his lower body, sighing as the cool water reached up to his chin. He took it upon himself to dunk his head under, gasping and spluttering when he surfaced, now slightly cold and thankful when the Beta pulled him out of the water again.

It was only then that he realized that he had nothing to dry himself with, his tunic uselessly wet and discarded on the ground, but neither Mark nor Renjun seemed to care and Donghyuck understood with a start that both wolves were used to running around naked, most probably bathing and drying off like this too.

For Donghyuck it was the strangest sensation to be naked in nature– his skin felt vulnerable and sensitive, prickling as the wind caressed it and formed goosebumps under the thin layer of water still running down his body. He took a last glance at his discarded tunic and slippers on the ground and felt a sudden and heavy sense of sadness weighting his chest. They were the last remains of his old life, a piece of home and the way he was brought up. Donghyuck felt like he was leaving behind his old self, peeling off a layer of modesty to walk like his new pack did, clad in nothing but his own skin.

He shivered, his eyes looking up at Mark helplessly and the Beta immediately realized what was wrong when he took in Donghyuck's miserable expression.

"Cold?" He asked, though, leaving the sadness in the Omega's eyes uncommented. He smiled when Donghyuck nodded and pressed against him like a little child. "It's not far anymore, they're awaiting us and there are warm furs in Alpha's home."

That sobered Donghyuck up immediately, sadness, cold and freezing skin forgotten at the terrifying prospect of having to face the Alpha soon.

Mark noticed his sudden distress, but kept quiet. Instead of saying anything he hoisted Donghyuck up again, letting the Omega cling to his warm body as he walked fast to where Renjun was keeping watch, waiting impatiently.

The Alpha didn't comment on the fact that Donghyuck, who was supposed to run by himself, was still carried by the Beta, though he shot Mark a long and meaningful glance before he turned away and lead the way.

The Beta kept silent after that, arms wrapped tightly around Donghyuck's naked body, squeezing occasionally, but whenever Donghyuck looked up to meet Mark's eyes the man was lost in thoughts, his eyes looking ahead but also strangely far away.

Donghyuck kept quiet as well after that, head bedded on the Beta's shoulder as the steady motion and Mark's body heat lulled him into sleepiness. The Heat tormenting Donghyuck didn't rise for the next couple of hours, but the cold never quite left his bones either.

-

As promised, the new pack expected them.

Eleven pairs of eyes were directed at them, dark with hunger and quiet judgement. Donghyuck felt his hackles rising at the tension in the air, only recognizing Yukhei in a sea of more and more dismissive looking strangers.

The pack was smaller than Donghyuck had expected, but surprisingly clean. Unlike Mark who was carrying him and Renjun who slowly made his way to another Alpha who looked impossibly tall and had arms that looked like they could snap Donghyuck in half, the whole pack was washed and tidy. The were mostly naked, but their skin free of dirt, their hair combed and trimmed. Donghyuck realized that a lot of the untamed wildness had been to intimidate his birth pack and felt his head spinning at that blunt deception.

He was slightly dizzy from his heat again, the lack of food and proper rest making him feel lightheaded and weak. When Mark carefully lowered him in the middle of what seemed to be the pack's gathering area, Donghyuck's legs gave way and he fell on the hard ground.

Unsurprisingly, his open display of weakness did nothing but turn the many dominants' eyes darker with lust. With his head still spinning, Donghyuck quickly realized that he was the only Omega in a pack of Alphas and Betas.

Mark picked him up, carefully steadying him as his knees buckled again, but Donghyuck was helpless, clinging frantically onto the Beta and wishing for nothing else but to hide against his chest which was comforting and familiar at least.

From everywhere raw scents of dominants were invading his senses and Donghyuck froze up in dread at the distinct anger and loathing in the air.

Hidden behind layers of lust and want there was resentment and revulsion, a lethal threat directed at no one else but him. Donghyuck whimpered as he flinched back against Mark as if slapped, fear tightening his throat to the point of suffocating.

This pack...hated him.

But they also lusted for him, the fact only seeming to make them hate him even more. Donghyuck wanted to break down under the intense glares right then and there, but Mark kept him upright and wordlessly pushed him through the crowd of packmates to the low raise of a natural stone plateau. It was the center of the gathering area and on it sat a man who couldn't be anyone else but the pack Alpha– but that couldn't be!

Donghyuck's stomach almost lurched up his throat when he first noticed the man sitting on top of the plateau dangling his legs over the edge. But when Mark led him closer until he stood right in front of him, Donghyuck released the air he had held in his lungs without even noticing in one big exhale of relief. There was nothing threatening nor intimidating about the man in front of whom Mark had lowered Donghyuck.

Donghyuck realized with lifting spirit that the man he had mistaken for the pack Alpha was little more than a boy. He was obviously older than Donghyuck, but that was to be expected as even Yukhei had seen more seasons pass than him. But he looked just as young as Donghyuck, dangling his legs and all– and dainty too, clad in a black pelt which did little to hide his narrow hips and shoulders. He had dark hair and skin paler than Donghyuck's, but that, too, didn't come as a surprise. What was a surprise, though, were the boy's large round eyes and his lovely pair of droopy puppy lips. They twisted into a smile when Donghyuck was close enough to see, but it wasn't directed at him.

"You brought him I see, and in one piece, too. Yukhei told me you went off to devour him."

The boy chuckled darkly and gracefully jumped down from the plateau to stand in front of them. Donghyuck shuddered at the surprisingly deep voice, but it were the boy's dark eyes that locked with his for a small moment which had his heart beating faster in his chest.

They only rested on Donghyuck's face for a small moment before they raked over his naked body, pausing at his abdomen for the short moment it took the boy's lips to stretch into a wider smile. Donghyuck shifted under the weight of the boy's eyes, suddenly back to being self aware and shy in his nakedness, thighs squeezing together and hands clinging a bit tighter onto Mark.

"Nice hips," The boy remarked casually, his lips twisting wickedly as he glanced up at Donghyuck's insecure eyes and then to Mark's expressionless ones. "He's gonna swell up nicely with child."

Donghyuck blushed and something akin to dread trickled cold and uncomfortable down his insides at the boy's words. Even though this was his purpose, something he wanted even, the words were like acid or a particularly cold slap of reality to him. The way his wish for children of his own was put into something crude and impersonal like this felt almost like an invasion of his privacy– the little bit of dignity that Omegas were allowed to have for themselves.

Donghyuck felt objectified, the small dreams he was hoping for taken from him and put on display in the cold light of dispassion and he recoiled from it, turning further into the Beta's arms as if to hide from the boy's heartless words. Upset and close to tears he didn't understand why someone who must have been a fellow Omega was doing this to him.

Both Mark and the boy mistook his motion as seeking out for warmth and Donghyuck felt the pressure of tears building when he realized with resignation that they would never understand nor care how their words and action hurt his pride and heart.

Dominants would always treat Omegas like objects without realizing how much it damaged and hurt them– simply because they didn't even think that Omegas were capable of seeing themselves as anything but Alpha or Beta property. They weren't seen as individuals with opinions and feelings that reached outside of their Omega bubble.

It made Donghyuck more conscious of the Beta as he pressed against him, upset yet thankful to be in this man's arms. Mark asking for his consent back in the forests flashed through his mind and almost comforted him. It had been the first time in his life that a dominant hadn't handled him as he pleased with Donghyuck helplessly trying to bear with whatever he was subjected to go through.

It wasn't that he had been hurt much after he had started emitting his Omega scent, but he shivered at the thought of what he could have been through if his birth pack hadn't made sure that he grew up expecting to be taken and mounted at any given time by the dominants of his pack. Sex was nice and welcome to Donghyuck because of that. He had been raised to open up to his packmates and to not mind it much, but he knew that it was conditioning and not out of his honest free will and wish. It made Mark asking for what he wanted that much more worth.

He shivered again, a small sob escaping his mouth as he tried to press his face somewhere under the Beta's arms, preferably against his armpit again where the warm and damp darkness and comforting Beta scent pushed every other ugly thought besides his arousal out of his hurting brain.

Mark shushed him, hands sliding up and down his cold body in concern, but Donghyuck didn't see him lifting worried eyes from his curled up form to the quietly watching boy in front of them.

The boy scoffed, but carefully slipped out of his thick pelt and handed it over to the Beta, who quickly wrapped it around Donghyuck's trembling body. Donghyuck turned reluctantly and only after good minutes of gentle coaxing from Mark in the Beta's arms, unwilling to face the boy and the harsh reality he reminded him of.

Right next to them, though, and now naked as all the others, the boy looked just as harmless as Donghyuck. The Omega relaxed when the boy kept quiet, no more upsetting words spilling from his still smiling lips.

Donghyuck breathed out a small prayer of relief, but flinched back in shock which surged hot and cold through his body when the boy suddenly reached out for him and grabbed his chin to make him look him in the eyes. They were pitch black, glinting with an intense fire that had Donghyuck's stomach dropping in a sickening way. The smile the boy directed at him was almost feral, the hand on Donghyuck's chin tightening to a point of discomfort until he cried out in pain and shuddered in distressed.

This was not a fellow Omega. This was–––

Donghyuck cried out in terror and curled away and against Mark's body as soon as the boy let go of him, sobs of fear wracking his body as he cried in distress– but not even the Beta's comforting arms could protect him from the sudden threat and pull in the air. Cold dominance washed over Donghyuck's entire being and suddenly it was hard to breathe as something that couldn't be anything else but the pack's head Alpha's presence choked and forced him down to submit.

Donghyuck cried out in fear, but before he could stumble out of the Beta's arms to fling himself onto the ground in front of the Alpha's feet to bare his throat, Mark grabbed him and pressed him back against his chest. The tall Beta turned a little, shielding him from the Alpha in front of them.

"Jaemin," Mark's voice was leveled yet cold with disdain and Donghyuck shivered and tried to hold back tears as he pressed as close as possible to the Beta, trying to hide away. "You're scaring him."

The pack Alpha burst out laughing at that, his head falling back and his mouth opening up wide as loud howls of amusement cut through the sudden silence of the evening.

"You care for him!" The Alpha spit out as soon as he was able to, small chuckles still leaving his trembling lips and his eyes shining with mirth when Mark's face closed off and his eyes hardened.

"Don't you dare give me that face, Mark Lee. It makes sense now! Yukhei was right– you like this little bitch."

Donghyuck flinched, but the Beta combed soothing fingers through his hair and slid the flat of his palm down his spine.

"That's your Omega you're treating like shit," Mark frowned as he said this, but his hands tightened on Donghyuck's body as if unwilling to hand him over.

Jaemin noticed this with a scoff and he was genuinely amused when he shook his head. "Oh no, I think not. I have no intentions of taking him, never had. You knew this."

Donghyuck looked up at the Beta at that, eyes round in confusion, but he was still too intimidated, terrified to speak up and only watched the Beta grit his teeth as he stared down at the Alpha.

"He's your responsibility. You're breeding Alpha– it's your fucking duty to knot him!"

Donghyuck trembled at the Beta's outburst, but the words cut like knives though his soul and left him crippled in pain rather than fear. He was a responsibility of a scary as fuck Alpha that apparently didn't want him, in a pack that hated him. And the Beta he so pathetically clung to wanted him to be exactly that. This was worse than being objectified and subjected to cruelty. This was starving him off and denying him everything he wished for. This was him being left alone to curl up and die, unwanted and uncared for, useless. Without a dominant to take care of him, Donghyuck's days were numbered, his Omega biology making sure of that.

The Alpha sighed at Mark's words and took a step back to lean against the plateau in feigned fatigue.

"Maybe I wasn't meant to be breeding Alpha then. Maybe you chose wrong when that little bitch's pack killed Minah and Jaehyung. But I see the way you look at him. You want him for yourself, don't you."

It wasn't a question and Mark didn't answer, but his hands let go of Donghyuck before he gently pushed the Omega towards the Alpha, eyes turning distant and cold when Donghyuck gasped out his name helplessly.

"You can't even deny it," The Alpha laughed as he steadied Donghyuck roughly and watched Mark's eye's lighting up in agitation. "Look at your eyes! Amber, fucking amber, Mark Lee.”

There was a small moment of silence, but before Mark could open his mouth to snap back, Donghyuck's soft and stunned voice broke through the tense quiet.

"Y– You're Alpha," he wheezed, his legs trembling and threatening to give way again as all the times he had dismissed the play of color in the Beta's eyes as a trick of his tired mind flashed through his spinning head. He didn't dare think about what else amber eyes meant.

Mark frowned at him unhappily, but didn't deny, though his eyes hardened when he slid them back at Jaemin.

"You're Alpha's– breeding Alpha's Omega," He gritted out, avoiding Donghyuck's saddening eyes even when he talked to him.

Jaemin snorted and pushed Donghyuck back towards Mark who caught the Omega instinctively. Almost instantly, Donghyuck pressed as close to him as possible unable to help himself and content to feel Mark's arms closing around him as they kept him in place.

"I'm not gonna breed him. He is nothing but a tribute of war and you know this," The pack Alpha spat, voice cold and hostile.

To Donghyuck, Renjun's resentment towards him and the way Yukhei and the others had looked at him with such lack of affection suddenly made much more sense, even though Donghyuck still didn't understand.

"Do your fucking job, Nana!"

The Alpha laughed at that, his dark eyes glowing in an utterly unholy way.

"That's rich coming from you, Beta," He snarled. "It's been twenty fucking years, you need to stop blaming yourself and do your job!"

The hands on Donghyuck's body tightened to the point of discomfort, but by now Donghyuck was so confused and also dazed by his rising heat that he didn't react to it. Instead he let himself fall against Mark, leaving it to him to keep him upright, though the man just pulled him up into his arms to carry him as always after Donghyuck closed his eyes in exhaustion.

"Take him," Mark suddenly pleaded, but Jaemin shook his head and folded his arms in front of his chest.

"I'm not gonna breed him. I'm not even gonna make him part of this pack. We agreed ages ago that we'd take him– demand him as a tribute for those his pack took from us, but he will never be one of us unless you make him."

Donghyuck tiredly blinked his eyes open at that, only to see Mark shaking his head. It tightened the knot of sadness and hurt in the Omega's chest, but he kept silent, willing the tears away as he turned in Mark's arms and helplessly hugged himself closer to him.

He really was unwanted and unloved, and in front of his closed eyes Donghyuck saw all his dreams and hoped bursting with cruel finality as his future slipped through his shaking fingers.

"Perhaps I should give him to Yukhei then? He seems interested– He was almost angry when he told me that you touched the Omega." Jaemin voice was deliberately bored now and Mark hated himself for still not being able to help himself but take the bait.

"Yukhei's gonna devour him in one go," He spat, hoping that the added scoff at the end would mask the faint traces of worry and possessiveness.

"Yeah, he's gonna wolf him down," Jaemin snickered and didn't mind it when Mark slid him a disgusted look. "But that's not going to happen, is it," the Alpha pointed his chin toward Donghyuck who lay faint and delirious with heat in Mark's arms. "I see the way you hold him as if he's made of glass. Your eyes are amber, Mark! That's why you care for him! When Yukhei told me I didn't understand why, but it makes sense now– Your soul is telling you mate– isn't it?"

"My soul's telling me jack shit," Mark muttered, voice unimpressed, but Jaemin laughed it off before he turned to leave.

"If you want to be stubborn about this, suit yourself. But you're leaving your little sweetheart with little options to survive. Like this I'm the only one who can make him pack, but I won't." Jaemin paused to turn back at Mark, his eyes cold as he added: "There won't be anyone attending to his needs. He's in heat and our pack will rip him in two, if there isn't someone protecting him from them."

Mark swallowed, his eyes flashing amber again when he looked down at Donghyuck who was looking up at him with tears in his eyes, small hands clutching desperately at his skin. Mark sighed, but his voice was soft, pleading as he quietly called out: "Jaemin, please."

The pack Alpha groaned, annoyed, but turned back to Mark to look at him in disdain. "I'll let him sleep over for one night. This is to give you time to clear your head and to get it through your thick skull that those bastards would have killed Jaehyung and Minah no matter what– it wasn't your fault."

Jaemin waited for Mark to walk up to him before he closed his arms around Donghyuck's body to pull him out of the Beta's embrace. Jaemin's arms were strong and carried the Omega's weight as if it was nothing.

Donghyuck mechanically closed his arms around the Alpha and squeezed his eyes shut, the hurt of being abandoned by someone he thought that cared for him crushing his heart painfully enough to make him suffocate on it. He pressed his face against the column of the Alpha's neck, wishing the world away and for someone to take him back home.

"For god's sake," The Alpha's voice cut through his desperation. "Your Omega is losing it! Go away and realize everything already, and then come back and claim your mate. We're breaking apart, we need you. It's time this pack gets back its leading Alpha. Obviously I can't be both, but maybe you can." Jaemin jolted Donghyuck in his arms until the Omega whimpered in protest.

"Don't you dare come back like this, Beta. When I said that he's gonna swell up nicely with kids I meant yours, but I'll give him to Yukhei if you return unchanged!"

-

The tent the Alpha carried Donghyuck in was surprisingly homely, civilized even and warm.

Dark furs covered the ground of it, soft and thick, and there was something that resembled a bed at the opposite end from the opening of the tent. Jaemin lowered the dazed Omega on it, nostrils flaring when the small space of his home filled up with Donghyuck's sweet scent.

The short way from the gathering era to Jaemin's home had been enough to have the Omega's heat gear up to its peak, the small thing's body sensing on an instinctive level that it was against a potent Alpha's one. Jaemin wasn't chosen as breeding Alpha for his sweet looks after all.

Donghyuck's eyes fluttered and with a moan he turned on the bed, the rising heat within his body making him writher in the fur that was wrapped around him. He weakly reached for it to tug it off, but his hands were sluggish and slow, and Jaemin leaned down with a sigh to help him when Donghyuck started whimpering in distress.

Warm and raw Omega scent hit Jaemin's nose as soon as the pelt slid off Donghyuck's skin and the Alpha swallowed thickly before taking back a step and breathing out through his mouth.

"Mark you better hurry," He muttered to himself as he looked down his own naked body and stared at his hardened cock, his mouth grimacing as he wrapped his hand around it. Before he could start jerking off, though, the small Omega moaned and Jaemin turned on reflex to check on him.

Their eyes met, Donghyuck's incoherent and dark with want as they flickered down to stare at the Alpha's cock, and Jaemin's guarded, the hand on his cock gripping tighter as he saw the Omega's mouth dropping open obscenely.

"Alpha–" The Omega moaned, legs parting suggestively as Jaemin's nostrils flared.

The Omega was spread out on his bed, soft body writhing deliciously and his sweet scent pulsed in Jaemin's head. The Alpha swallowed and allowed himself to turn fully towards the boy before he leaned forward in interest, cock pulsing precome as the Omega moaned at him.

As Jaemin stepped nearer, Donghyuck's eyes rolled backwards at the sudden scent of Alpha arousal in the air. He arched up, hips thrusting before he fell helplessly back against the bed, whining and reaching with heavy arms for the Alpha watching him.

He was ashamed– somewhere in his frantic and lust filled hazy mind he knew that the Alpha didn't want him, but the fire in his veins was intense and screaming in demand and Donghyuck was helpless as he succumbed to his feral instincts. His body wanted to mate and screamed for knot, and this Alpha smelled so good, so strong, so potent and perfect.

He moaned again, this one blending into a small sob as he reached for the Alpha again and finally Jaemin squatted down between his spread legs and leaned forward with interest. The Omega's small cock was hard and resting on his soft stomach, leaking cum and intensifying the thick and sickly sweet scent in the air. Jaemin had half a mind to wrap his hands and lips around the pink organ, but forced himself to settle comfortably between the Omega's thighs instead.

His eyes were dark but glimmering when he finally reached out to close his hands around the insides of the Omega's knees. He pushed the boy's legs up to his heaving chest, until bony knees rested on Donghyuck's rosy nipples and the curve of the Omega's ass was slightly hoisted in the air.

Jaemin groaned as he pulled the boy's thick thighs apart, the Omega's wet cleft and twitching asshole free for him to devour with his eyes. He leaned forward, unable to help himself as his composure crumpled between the desperately writhing Omega's legs. He pulled the boy's feet up to rest on his shoulders as he bent forward and without a warning licked a fat stripe up the Omega's glistening cleft.

Donghyuck jerked and cried out, thrusting his ass back for more, but Jaemin was quick to grip his hips and keep him still, tongue never stopping its firm pressure against the Omega's twitching rim. He pressed the tip inside, smiling wolfishly at the easy way it slid inside the loosened hole and then closed his full lips around the frantically blossoming rim to suck harshly, pulling slick out of the Omega's ass and screams from his throat.

When he let go of the boy's skin the Omega's rim was swollen thick and pink, gaping open and twitching weakly. Jaemin gave it a last fond link, before he slipped two fingers inside the boy and hooked them up. Almost instantly Donghyuck gurgled weakly in his throat, his hips twitching and jerking as lightening bolts of pleasure shot through his hypersensitive body.

"Alpha–" He choked out, his face flushed pink and wet with tears and his hands reached out to grab around Jaemin's wrists weakly. His hips jerked helplessly to thrust and rut his small cock against nothing and his rim clenched spasmodically around the Alpha's digits, trying to suck them in deeper.

"Alpha, please–"

Jaemin smiled at the desperate cries and cooed at the Omega, loving the complete lack of coherency on the boy's sweet face. He pulled his fingers out, watching with interest as thick webs of slick spread between his digits as he stretched them apart.

The Omega's suffocatingly sweet scent hit him again and he twisted his tongue inside his mouth, tasting the last bits of the boy's slick on it as lust coiled hot and demanding in his abdomen. Jaemin's cock swelled and twitched in need and the Alpha complied and wiped his fingers on his length, coating it with the Omega's slick secrete.

When he knocked Donghyuck's legs apart the Omega sobbed out, trembling limbs closing around the Alpha's neck and hips, but Jaemin growled low in his throat and forced the boy flat against the bed. He grabbed one of the boy's legs around the inside of his knee and pushed it up impatiently, his other hand gripping his swollen cock as he guided it to the Omega's weeping hole.

When the blunt tip of his cock nudged against the Omega's wet hole, Jaemin groaned, his slit pulsing a dollop of precome right into the blossoming O, the wetness of the Omega's slick making his cockhead slip and smear his cum up and down the boy's cleft.

His eyes suddenly flashed amber at that, his wolf loving the way he marked the Omega like this, but that was also the exact reason he suddenly snapped back to his senses and realized what he was about to do.

He jerked back from the Omega as if burned, eyes widening and mouth dropping open in surprise when he realized that he had been about to mount the boy, to knot and breed him, to fill him up with cum and have him swell up with his litter– to mate him.

Jaemin blanched and stumbled back, ignoring the desperate cries of the Omega and the way he started crying in earnest when the Alpha distanced himself from him. The small thing tried to get up, but his arms were too weak to support his weight and he fell back on the bed with a cry, body squirming onto its side to direct huge and wet eyes pleadingly at Jaemin.

"Alpha– Alpha, please," He sobbed, tears and snot running down his red face and he looked so desperate and horrified at the prospect of Jaemin not coming back to touch him that Jaemin actually felt a sense of worry and responsibility calling to his guilty conscious. He had no time to wonder about that unusual feeling as the silent pull between him and the Omega begged him closer.

He swallowed down a thick lump and turned his head to take a deep breath before he cautiously walked back to the Omega. Jaemin, who knew all to well that this little boy was nothing but a tribute for those that had been killed in pack wars many years ago couldn't help but reach out to soothe the Omega. All his Alpha instincts were begging him to help the Omega that was so obviously in pain and need for him, but images of his brother Jaehyung and Mark's sister Minah lying in their own blood with their unborn litter ripped out of Minah's womb kept playing in his mind.

Donghyuck couldn't have been born back then if this was his first heat, he was innocent and probably left clueless about the violent history between their packs. But when Jaemin sat down next to him and allowed the sobbing Omega to grab his hand to clutch it to his heaving chest, he couldn't help the shivers of revulsion. He stared at the boy's wet and pleading face, but all he could see was a child of those who had killed his brother and Mark's sister. Donghyuck was a descendant of wolves who had killed innocent lives, who had orphaned their youngest, Chenle and Jisung, and who ripped out the heart and soul of this pack.

Donghyuck whimpered and Jaemin realized that he had wrapped his hand around the Omega's slender neck without realizing it. His eyes widened and he hastily pulled it back, disbelieving that he had been about to lose himself to his hate.

This little Omega was innocent– there never had been plans to kill him, not even right after when they had won the war. Bathed in the blood of the many that had been slain that day, Mark had demanded for the beaten pack's youngest Omega to be handed over as a war tribute in exchange for the pack's spared existence, but it never had been to kill the innocent kid that grew up belonging to them.

Feeling guilty and bad, Jaemin apologized wordlessly by grabbing the boy's small leaking cock, instantly making the Omega jolt in surprise.

The boy's legs spread apart as he started thrusting up into Jaemin's hand and the Alpha watched him with dark eyes as Donghyuck lost himself to the touch and feel of the dominant's hand on his cock.

It only took a few rough jerks of Jaemin's hand to have the boy spilling into his palms and Jaemin stopped breathing through his nose for a second when the sweet scent in the stuffy air of his home intensified. He couldn't help lapping up the cum from his hands, though, not when he didn't even realize that he was devouring it until his palm was clean again.

Donghyuck watched him with quiet eyes, his chest still heaving heavily, but the madness was gone for now and he looked almost calm and sedated. Jaemin bend down to lick up the cum sticking to the Omega's cock, easily sucking the small organ down his throat and swallowing around it until the Omega whined and buckled in his hold from overstimulation.

Jaemin let the boy's soft cock fall from his lips and it slapped against the Omega's stomach with a wet sound. He stared down at the boy's naked body as he wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, but Donghyuck spread his legs again, beckoning him wordlessly to settle in between.

Jaemin complied, his hands running up and down the Omega's soft curves as he lay down half on top and half beside the boy. He hooked his hands under the Omega's armpits and pulled him up and sideways on top of him until Donghyuck was bedded pleasantly on his chest, their legs tangled.

Jaemin saw his brother's smiling face flashing in front of his eyes when he combed lazy fingers through the soft hair at the Omega's nape. Minah's happy eyes turning into crescents were next and he almost heard her voice as she called out for him, gentle and loving like the mother they all had lost too early when they all had been kids.

He sighed, his unoccupied hand reaching out to stroke the flat of his palm along the Omega's curves again, enjoying the up and down and the silky soft of skin as the boy cuddled closer and dozed sleepily on his chest.

Jaemin knew that the Omega's heat was only temporarily broken and that he'd be wet and desperate as soon as his small body was able to find the strength to push him over the edge of sanity again. He needed to be knotted. As long as his insides weren't filled to the brim with Alpha cum, until his little stomach swelled from it and he choked it up his throat the Omega would keep heating up again and again as if ovulating nonstop. It was nature's cruel way of ensuring that Omegas were taken quickly by dominants until they swelled with child and Jaemin felt the urge to give in, but leaned back instead.

His eyes softened when he looked down at the dozing Omega who looked devastatingly young and heartbreakingly exhausted. The Alpha felt unnecessarily cruel when he leaned back again and resumed his soft touches on the boy's body.

"I'm sorry," He apologized after a while and felt the Omega's long lashes brushing over his skin when the boy blinked his eyes open. He felt questioning eyes directed at himself and sighed, carefully turning his body to get more comfortable with the Omega tugged snugly to his side.

"I'm not trying to be cruel to you," He elaborated, voice low and he combed soothing fingers through the locks at the Omega's nape again to show him just how sorry he was.

"You need an Alpha to break your heat, but there is no place for you as my mate, there never was."

Donghyuck's breath hitched and Jaemin felt the Omega curling up into himself as if physically hurt. It made him reach out for the boy again, gently pulling him up straight as he turned them until he was on top of the small thing and caged him in with his arms on either side of the Omega's head. The boy was crying and Jaemin wasn't surprised, but it still made him feel guilty, especially when he saw the heartbreak in those huge eyes.

"We're different, you see?" He quietly said after a while, thumbs brushing away tears that slid down the Omega's swollen cheeks. "We have no Alpha who's the one, but a breeding Alpha couple which is the center of our pack's life. They are our parents– almost everyone is related by blood, our pack is family."

He paused before he added in a quieter tone: "We don't fight our family for the Alpha title, we protect it. Leading Alpha protects it."

Jaemin leaned in then and mouthed along the Omega's jaw, unable to help himself with the boy so vulnerable and pliant underneath him. Donghyuck tilted his head back for the Alpha, willingly baring his throat even though Jaemin's words cut like knives through his heart.

If there really was no place for him as Alpha's mate, not even when his scent was most alluring and sweet, he was useless and there would be no one claiming his neck, even bared like this. Jaemin's lips that mouthed along the column of his throat were a testament to that as his teeth nipped along his mouth's way down to Donghyuck's collarbones, but never actually broke skin.

There would be no love and no one taking care of him, no little pups for him to call his own and to look after like he did for his brother's mate. There would be no mate for him. Alpha didn't want him and the only other one that cared at least a little bit for him had run from him, abandoning him in the Alpha's reluctant arms. All he could hope for now were the other dominants of the pack caring enough for him to give him food, warmth and sanity maybe in exchange for his useless body.

Donghyuck felt desperation and sadness tightening his chest until he felt like suffocating on it, but the sobs were stuck in his throat and the tears pressed hot behind his eyeballs. He didn't want to break down in tears again, not when there was still wetness trailing down his cheeks for the Alpha to wipe away.

"We're all brothers, you see? Born together and growing up together. The strongest is given the duty to protect the pack as it's head, and the one who's most capable to breed makes sure the pack is cared for and nurtured as he ties with a mate and ensures the continued existence of the pack as its heart."

Jaemin breathed against Donghyuck's bruising neck as he detached his mouth from where he had sucked on a patch of it. Donghyuck suppressed a whimper when his skin started pulsing with heat and squeezed his eyes shut, but that only spilled the tears he desperately wanted to hold back.

Jaemin nosed at his bobbing adam's apple before he leaned up on his elbows and licked Donghyuck's tears away.

"Don't cry, Omega. I'm about to tell you a nice tale," He crooned, his arms spreading and his elbows digging into the soft fur as he stretched his hands to cup the crying boy's face in his palms.

"It's a good story, with a sad pack of wolves losing their King and Queen in a war, but winning the hand of a– ...a sweet maiden as war booty." Jaemin smiled down at Donghyuck, but it was a crooked one and Donghyuck felt sadness that wasn't his own clutching at his heart.

It was his empathy as an Omega that made him sense the Alpha's grief and he helplessly stretched out trembling arms to wrap them around the Alpha's neck to pull him close, surprising Jaemin who allowed the Omega to cradle him and to press him on top of himself.

Bedded like this in the cage of the Omega's small body, Jaemin pulled his arms close to himself as he wrapped them around Donghyuck's quivering torso.

"After the war was won, there were a lot of orphaned little Princes, but one had to be the new King and so the leading Alpha of that time decided that one of his brothers was to be crowned the new King, before he demoted himself to Beta in his guilt and self-loathing of having been unable to protect the old King and Queen."

Jaemin paused for a moment to look up from where he bedded his head on top of the Omega's collarbones to smile, but the boy was too upset and caught up in the Alpha's pain to react. It made Jaemin reach out for one of the Omega's pink nipples to flick it, making the boy gasp and jolt before turning compassionate eyes on Jaemin.

"And so this pack of brave warriors and little Princes was with a newly crowned King, but without a Queen. There was no leading Alpha to guide the way and the pack was slowly breaking apart, until they realized that they had to work as family to ensure the survival of their youngest brothers who had been ripped from their mother's womb too early."

"Your brothers..." Donghyuck mumbled and he felt Jaemin tensing for a split second before the Alpha nodded with a sigh.

"It worked, because without a Queen the new King devoted himself to bringing up his two youngest brothers until twenty years passed and it was time to collect the sweet maiden, the supposed to be new Queen–" Jaemin laughed, but it was humorless and Donghyuck kept very still as he barely dared to breathe.

"But here's the thing: the pack of Princes and warriors who went through unimaginable hardships, fought too many battles to survive and who grew into an impossibly strong bond of brothers and later into an unbreakable pack, had no need for this murderous pack's little maiden."

Donghyuck flinched at the words, but Jaemin was quick to soothe him, his thumbs running lazy circles over the Omega's pink nipples. He stifled a laugh when he slightly pinched one of the perky nubs and ended up squeezing out a milky opaque fluid.

"Oh man, it's high time for your fucking Prince to get his ass down here and knot you," He muttered, but leaned down eagerly to lap up the small rivulets running down the Omega's smooth chest.

Donghyuck shivered and moaned when the Alpha's hot mouth closed around his nipple to suck, but thankfully no more liquid squirted out to encourage Jaemin further. The Alpha let go of Donghyuck's nipple with an almost disappointed click of his tongue, before he groaned and rutted his hardened cock urgently against the inside of Donghyuck's soft thighs.

The Omega startled in surprise, wet eyes widening and cheeks flushing pink when the Alpha's broad cockhead smeared precum all over his hot skin. He had forgotten that the Alpha had never found his release and felt almost guilty for it, but when he tried to reach for the man's cock, Jaemin was quick to pin his arms away by his wrists.

Without missing a beat of his thrusting hips, Jaemin groaned softly and then forcefully stilled himself, his breathing turning into harsh pants as he tried to control himself. The Omega kept still and pliant in his hold and Jaemin rewarded him with a small smile before he let go of Donghyuck's wrists and lied back on top of the boy's chest.

"Now the sweet maiden," Jaemin continued, his voice slightly stained, but with a teasing smile pulling at his lips, "Was useless for the pack. No one wanted to breed this child of murderers, but there was a miracle happening on the way from the maiden's bad bad birth pack to the new pack of shining knights and brave Princes."

Jaemin slid a hand down the Omega's stomach and in between the boy's legs, easily slipping fingers inside the Omega's loosened hole. He twisted them around as if lost in thoughts, listening only with half a mind to the gasps falling from the boy's lips.

"The stupid, but handsome Beta Prince who had no confidence in himself since forever and who was a useless fuck overall, suddenly showed interest in something besides playing with his own dick– he felt something besides regret and anguish- and out of nowhere cared for the sweet tribute maiden. It was unusual enough that his pack of brothers wondered if this was the miracle they've all been waiting for twenty years–" Jaemin looked up at the Omega expectantly, but Donghyuck's eyes were nothing but confused as they stared back at him blankly.

Jaemin bit back a sharp comment and reminded himself that the kid was young and scared, upset and in heat. Instead of scoffing he collected his thoughts for the grand finale, hoping that by the time he finished his pathetic tale Mark would come to fetch his little sweetheart, before Jaemin would lose it and devour the small Omega from head to toe. The thought had his swollen and aching cock twitching in interest and his fingers twisted more urgently inside the softly moaning Omega's body, before he calmed down.

"In this family of shining knights and princes, rank had a lot to do with dominance. The stupid Beta Prince was leading Alpha once, before he demoted himself, but that didn't mean that his dominance decreased. It was his lack of confidence in himself that kept him chained to the past and had him unable to overcome his grief. But now the sweet maiden was in danger of getting devoured by wolves who hadn't touched an Omega's body since forever, and the idiot Beta needed to turn back into an Alpha to keep the maiden safe, because the small thing would need him to survive and because the idiot Prince's eyes flashed amber whenever he looked at the maiden." Jaemin's voice was getting louder by irritation, but he felt as if he could feel Mark approaching, his presence familiar and unfamiliar at the same time, making him snap to sudden attention. "He wanted to knot the Omega and fill him with his seed until they both screamed 'mate' and knew no more, but as always he was too stupid to admit this to himself–"

This time the Omega's face was a stunned mask of surprise and fragility, eyes slowly filling with tears again as the boy choked on a sob. He tried to muffle it, but couldn't, because more and more sounds pulled free from his clogged up throat, making him hiccup and then cry openly.

Jaemin slipped his fingers out of him and raised his torso to wrap his arms around the Omega. He turned them around quickly and switch their positions to have the small boy laying on top of him. It made comforting him easier as he was free to comb his wet fingers through the Omega's thick locks again while his other hand stroked up and down his soft curves. Mark's presence was definitely there now, a bold and wild sense of power drawing nearer and nearer. Jaemin hid a smile against the top of the Omega's head.

The Omega only stopped crying when the entrance curtains to Jaemin's tent were roughly pulled aside and a tall figure stepped inside the stuffy and sickeningly sweet smelling space of the room.

"Here comes the Prince," Jaemin muttered, but his heart was beating loud and hopefully in his chest as he slowly sat up and stared at Mark.

Visually, nothing much had changed. Mark was still the unwashed, dirty, wild and too tall idiot brother that had pushed the Omega into his arms and had run away. But there was a change to him that run deeper; a change of something that surrounded him like a cloud of emitted strength, dominance, which made him look taller, broader and stronger, standing straighter than ever.

Jaemin wordlessly detached himself from the small Omega that stared wide eyed and intimidated at Mark, his sweet scent already intensifying at the close proximity to mate.

Jaemin rolled his eyes, but couldn't fight the broad smile spreading on his lips when Mark bent down to grab the small Omega and hoist him up in his arms.

"Alpha Mark," He greeted with an approving nod and his words had the Omega in Mark's arms whimpering softly while a small and genuinely thankful smile spread on the Mark's, leading Alpha's lips.

"I expect pups by the end of summer, just so you know!" He called after them when Mark walked out without another word.

The last Jaemin saw of them were the tips of the Omega's ears turning bright red while Mark's low voice gave a soft laugh.

-

"I'm gonna give you all the love and all the pups you want," Mark crooned at the small Omega that lay under him on his bed and looked up in his eyes with awe and wonder. "I just need you to love me back– fall in love with me, Donghyuck?"

Donghyuck shuddered, his heart and soul opening up wide to embrace the Alpha on top of him, yearning to let him in to devour him and make him a part of himself. His heat was rejoicing, singing in his blood as it rushed fast and jubilantly through his veins. He was completely overwhelmed. But the Alpha on top of him knew exactly what to say and how to touch him.

Donghyuck closed his eyes, his whole body turning warm and pliant, submissive for the one he wanted on every level of his being. His body had decided on Mark way before he had know that his mate was Alpha and in Donghyuck's soul every emotion hidden in every little touch and kiss and word was reverberating beautifully.

This was what he wanted, what he dreamed of. Someone to love him and to give him all he wished. Donghyuck felt his cheeks flushing at his own thoughts, oddly embarrassed as he admitted to himself that he was stereotypically Omega, eager for his dominant mate and everything he could give him. But Donghyuck felt like he couldn't clutch his dreams and hopes tight enough in his hands for they had seemed so out of reach for him for the longest time.

There was nothing wrong with what he wanted for his life and he knew this, but there was a part of him that felt defiant and unwilling to give in to even the things he secretly wanted most, without at least a little spark of truculence.

He squirmed under the Alpha, cheeks still bright pink as he gently pushed the man back and sat up to draw his knees to his chest, twisting his lips into a grimace at Mark's confused eyes.

"You're want me to love you before you're willing to give it yourself? Such an Alpha," He pushed, voice a bit nervous but he watched with satisfaction how Mark closed his eyes as if pained, something Donghyuck recognized as a standard reaction to his words whenever they talked. It didn't help him calm his nerves the slightest, stomach tightening in something akin to fearful anticipation as he watched Mark rubbing the flat of his palm against the bridge of his nose.

He'd sigh, Donghyuck suddenly knew, sigh and then push him off the bed, leaving him in punishment for being such a snotty loudmouth, a disobedient little shit of an Omega. Donghyuck felt almost sick when the Alpha moved, his heart beating loudly in his chest as he felt consternation clutching his chest in a tight grip. He expected to be snapped at, perhaps even hit for being so insolent, but the Alpha simply let his hand fall from his own face and leaned back a little.

Instead of a sigh, Mark blinked open mirthful eyes and his lips widened into a wide grin as he reached out for Donghyuck and roughly pulled the startled boy against his chest to rub his chin over the top of the Omega's head.

Relief flooded hot and cold through Donghyuck's veins as he listened to the Alpha laugh and his small hands came up to grab around the arms holding him still as he tried to wiggle out of the tight embrace. The only thing that happened was that Mark's chin dug softly into the soft nest of hair on top of his head, before large hands tickled him under his armpits.

Donghyuck screamed in mock indignation and started squirming in earnest in the Alpha's hold, but Mark didn't let go of him, instead pulled him even closer. Donghyuck's back was flush to his chest before he stopped moving his hands and bent down to press his face against the column of the Omega's pale neck.

"Let me claim you," The Alpha muttered and Donghyuck felt his abdomen clenching painfully, before heat flushed all over his body as he realized that the Alpha was hard and leaking for him under his loincloth.

"You have to earn it," He gasped out bravely, his breathing already ragged when he pressed back his ass to feel more of the Alpha's hardened cock.

But he meant his words even though lust and need was already starting to make him delirious again. He wanted to trust Mark, he wanted to give him his all. But he was afraid, too, to be taken and abused, to be reduced to nothing but a thing to fill with cum and punish with beatings for every little word and action of disobedience.

His stomach flipped in nervous anticipation as the Alpha kept silent, but heavy arousal weighted down his limbs and made him pliant in Mark's arms. He wanted to cry out in bliss when the Alpha wrapped his large hands around his wrists and thighs to move and spread him in a way that allowed the taller to settle comfortably on top and between his body.

"Let me claim you," Mark repeated and his eyes flashed amber, an intense and loving glow in the falling night as Donghyuck felt himself getting lost in the Alpha's gaze. There was no guarantee, no one hundred percent ensurance of safety, but there was a promise of something more and deep in Mark's eyes. There was a promise and a future in the way they flashed amber.

"Mate–" Donghyuck stammered out, dazed and a bit breathless, but the smile Mark flashed at him was enough to have his heart beating twice as fast in his chest. It pumped his blood two times faster up his cheeks to tint them pink, too, and Donghyuck felt lightheaded and faint as he squirmed and tried to hide his tingling cheeks.

"I knew you were mate the first time I smelled you on that clearing," Mark murmured as he leaned down to kiss and mouth up and down along Donghyuck's neck, his lips brushing over the few bruises Jaemin left there before adding his own.

"Ah– Your eyes– They were Ah– amber!" Donghyuck cried out as he arched up in Mark's hold, his mouth dropping open in a silent moan when the Alpha sucked hard on a patch of his neck while his broad thumbs rubbed slowly over the Omega's sensitive nipples.

More of that milky, opaque fluid trickled out of Donghyuck and the Alpha let go of Donghyuck's skin with a throaty groan that shoot right through the Omega and made him ache between his legs.

He followed the Alpha's gaze down to his nipples, blushing again when he saw the hunger in Mark's eyes. He threw back his head and clasped a quick hand over his mouth when the Alpha slid down and closed his warm mouth around one of his nipples.

When he arched up at a particularly hard suck his cock pressed deliciously against the Alpha's toned chest and Donghyuck muffled a scream behind his hands as he saw white flashing in front of his eyes.

Mark groaned around Donghyuck's skin and released the sore nub after a last playful nip, his thumb resuming its circular motions around it as he latched onto the other to lick up the sweet fluids it spilled. Donghyuck felt heat coiling low in his abdomen, Mark's lips and teeth and the soft suction on his sensitive nipples making him almost come undone without being touched.

The Alpha stayed down there when he was done feasting and looked up at Donghyuck through strands of disheveled hair. Donghyuck's heart jumped up into his clogged throat and he almost choked, his thoughts disbelieving and a bit annoyed that someone this wild and untamed could look so devilishly handsome.

All thoughts flew out his mind, though, the moment Mark wrapped his warm and large hands around his cock. Donghyuck gurgled in his throat, eyes rolling back a little, because he was oversensitive from heat and because Mark's hands were so perfect and rough. Now that his body instinctively knew that there was mate to take care of him it seemed as if it did its best to wreck Donghyuck with the agonizing need to get knotted.

He sobbed out in surprise when Mark's mouth closed around the tip of his cock, slowly sucking in more as the man groaned around the small organ. It leaked precome in steady pulses and Mark felt drunk on his Omega's sweet essence. His wide mouth had almost too much space for Donghyuck's twitching cock and he eagerly sucked on it as he rolled it around on his tongue, enjoying the way it coated his muscle in more cum.

It only took three upstrokes of that sinful tongue and mouth for Donghyuck to burst with a cry, shuddering and sobbing in pleasure as the Alpha greedily sucked him dry.

There was no time to recover from his orgasm, though, as a sudden flood of slick dripped out of his ass and made him whine in distress. Mark quickly wrapped his hands around his soft thighs, lifting them up and to Donghyuck's chest to stare down at the Omega's perfect ass, the curve of it already wet with slick and caked with dried and fresh secrete.

Another low groan from the Alpha had Donghyuck's cock twitching back to live in interest and he sobbed out both in desperation and exhaustion only to scream when Mark's mouth closed around a patch of sensitive skin right next to his swollen rim.

It twitched pitifully as the Alpha sucked and Mark almost grinned around his mouthful of flesh as he let go of one of Donghyuck's quivering thighs to dip the tip of a finger inside the Omega's begging channel. The calloused flat of his free thumb circled the sensitive rim, his rough skin scratching it slightly and catching every now and then, the touch reducing Donghyuck into a sobbing mess as he curled his toes uselessly in the air and tried to lift his hips from where they were pressed against the Alpha's bed.

"Mark–" He begged, tears in his eyes and desperation in his voice, but the Alpha leaned back and licked up his wet cleft, lapping up the warm slick that rested there before his tongue pressed inside Donghyuck's body next to the finger still curling inside of him.

Donghyuck sobbed weakly and reached out with his hands to touch his Alpha, but his arms were too short and Mark's body too far out of reach for him. He shuddered and blinked tears down his cheeks, but before he could sob out his frustration, fingers curled around his and intertwined with them, a thumb stroking his fine line of tense knuckles as if to tell him to calm down and relax and to trust Mark and let himself fall.

From somewhere between his legs, Mark's mouth closed around his rim in an obscene and short open mouthed kiss before his lips wandered up and pecked small kisses up the Omega's small cock. He kissed and mouthed his way up like that, his closed eyes never fluttering open, enjoying this just as much as Donghyuck did, his lips never losing their smile and his hand never letting go of Donghyuck's. He pecked Donghyuck's lips when he was back leaning over him, his broad form completely covering the Omega's as he balanced himself with arms on either side of Donghyuck's head.

Mark's eyes were amber when they looked down at Donghyuck as he settled between the Omega's parted thighs. The Alpha's free hand was stroking Donghyuck's cheek before cupping it and leaning down to kiss the Omega's droopy lips. Donghyuck closed his eyes and parted his lips with a moan, his heart fluttering as Mark's tongue caressed his own and then run the flat tip over his gums.

"Let me claim you," The Alpha said for the third time when he finally pulled back, honest affection in his eyes and a loving smile on his lips.

Donghyuck felt his heart seizing in his chest and tears welling up in his eyes and he quickly closed his eyes to will them back, small sniffles escaping him as he hiccuped and pressed his pulsing lips back against the Alpha's.

"Claim me," He breathed out between kisses and Mark cupped his cheeks again as he deepened the kiss and swallowed his Omega's cry as he slid his cock inside Donghyuck's willing body.

They both moaned, their damp breaths mixing in their mouths. As they kissed, Mark's hands grabbed a little harder around Donghyuck's body when the Omega instinctively sucked in his stomach and tightened his ass around the Alpha's thick cock.

Mark shuddered on top of him, eyes squeezed shut as his face contorted in bliss. When he opened his eyes they were wet and golden, staring down at Donghyuck in something akin to disbelieve.

"You're perfect–" He choked out, kissing Donghyuck's throbbing mouth again before he groaned and moved his hips, the shallow thrust jolting them both and making them moan.

Donghyuck was delirious, the low burn in his ass making him reach out with his hands, grabbing around handfuls of hard skin and disheveled hair for balance as he panted and cried out in pleasure. His eyes rolled back and his mouth dropped wide open as he trembled in the Alpha's strong hold and tried to arch up.

The way Mark's thick cock was scraping his insides was so good, so good, so good, making him sob in pleasure as he tightened his ass and pushed his hips to meet the Alpha's rough thrusts.

His asshole was wet and sloppy around Mark's brutal girth, making loud and obscene noises, but Donghyuck was too far gone to notice and to feel embarrassed about it. He clenched his ass cheeks, trying to grip the Alpha's thick length tighter as he sucked his stomach in to the point of feeling his muscles cramp.

Above him, Mark groaned, his voice thick and throaty as he leaned in to rest his forehead on Donghyuck's, his eyes tightly squeezed shut as he fucked harder and faster into the Omega's pliant body. Donghyuck sobbed at every press of Mark's cockhead's bulbous tip against his insides, loving the way it teared him up and forced him to open up wider with every slam against his quivering walls.

He could feel it, how Mark's foreskin rubbed raw against his desperately clenching walls and how his slick eased the slide of flesh against flesh. He moaned, lost in the feel of the Alpha's cock swelling inside of him and slid his hands down from where they clenched around Mark's biceps to cup his own chest. He slid his hands up and down his wet chest, moaning when Mark's eyes flashed at that sight and fueled his hips to slap even harder against Donghyuck's bruising ass cheeks.

Donghyuck kneaded his chest, loving how Mark's eyes followed his every move and noticed with some surprise that his pecs were slightly more swollen than before his heat started. It weren't muscles but fat, swelling his flat chest to small pseudo tits that stored milk for Alphas to lure in and to making everyone, even himself, realize that he was so ready to nurture children. Donghyuck panted as he pressed the flat of his palms against his pointy nipples. Liquid squirted out, making the Alpha on top of him groan and the cock plunging deep inside of him twitch and pulse precome into his clenching walls. It triggered Donghyuck's birthing channel to open up wide, waiting to close around the Alpha's cockhead to secure his cum in Donghyuck's womb.

Mark groaned at the additional suction on his sensitive cockhead, but this time didn't keep still and forced his cock out again only to trust back in, again and again, his mouth falling open in pleasure while he listened to Donghyuck's soft cries and shouts whenever his cockhead ripped out of the tight ring that was the entrance to his womb.

He turned Donghyuck around on his stomach when he felt his knot starting to swell and the small Omega let him, submissive and pliant for him to do with as he pleased. Mark felt a sudden and immensely pleasing sense of power singing in his veins, Donghyuck's submission and trust to be dominated by him appeasing his inner beast until he was close to growling out his satisfaction.

He reached down to grab around Donghyuck's torso instead, wrapping his arms around the heaving chest, kneading the slight swell and pulling him up against himself until the Omega's back was flush against his chest and Donghyuck almost seated in his lap.

Like this, thrusting into Donghyuck was difficult, but Mark needed to kiss and stroke and touch for a last time before he would lose himself to the beast that clawed at its cage in his soul to be let out. His palms squeezed around Donghyuck's swollen chest, pink nipples perking up under the pressure of his fingers as he rutted inside the Omega's ass and puled thick precome inside his body. The soft flesh between his fingers was turning him crazy and Mark kneaded it long and hard until Donghyuck cried out and tried to squirm away, his little nipples cherry red in Mark's tight grip.

His eyes flashed amber when he looked down at the beautiful and wrecked Omega in his arms, and he leaned down to press his face against Donghyuck's neck, breathing in his scent and licking off sweat as his cock pulsed and jerked inside the boy.

"Mate," He mouthed against Donghyuck's frantically pulsing jugular, before he closed his lips around it to suck a little, careful not to hurt, just enough to leave another mark. His mouth let go of Donghyuck's skin the moment one of his large hands let go of one tit to wrap around the Omega's cock, making the boy cry out and shoot into the Alpha's palm, voice hoarse from screaming and crying.

At the sudden intensified Omega scent in the air Mark had only enough sense left to gently lower Donghyuck against the bed, before he quickly licked the cum off of his palm and gripped around the Omega's hips to lift his ass up in the air.

Donghyuck was flat on the bed on the verge of passing out, his small body twitching and jolting at every thrust, nerve ends on the edge and prickling hypersensitive as they shot lighting impulses of pleasure to his brain. Donghyuck shuddered, small sobs leaving his slack lips as he drooled onto Mark's furs. His fingers were weakly clutching at them, toes curling into the soft material, but he was limp in the Alpha's hands which held up his ass and fucked harder and faster into him.

The pace turned brutal and Donghyuck cried out, the haze in his head clearing when through the heavy pleasure stabs of pain jolted through his body. The swell of Mark's cock grew bigger and Donghyuck suddenly realized that it was the Alpha's knot stretching him out already, the sudden realization leaving him wide awake and clear minded, because this was what Donghyuck had yearned for since his heat had started.

Above him, Mark's eyes gleamed a permanent gold now, the Alpha wolf inside of him taking over as he claimed his Omega. Donghyuck screamed when the pace picked up again, the swell of the knot now almost unbearable against his insides– and it still grew, impossibly but constantly.

Donghyuck choked on his own saliva, his eyes rolling backwards, but the sharp pain had him anchored to the here and now, unable to slip into unconsciousness.

He sobbed out, his rim burning around the fat swell stretching it open with every thrust. The knot had swollen so much that it had to be forced in and out of him by now, the internal suction on Mark's cock having the outer parts of Donghyuck's inner walls dragging out as well as they clung frantically onto the Alpha's cock. The Knot pushed his pink glistening internal flesh right back inside his abused body, but the feeling was so strange that Donghyuck felt faint and stretched a trembling arm behind himself to touch.

He pressed fingertips against the soft and impossibly swollen rim of his asshole, eyes widening at the way his flesh was raw rubbed and stretched to the extreme around the Alpha's swollen cock. Donghyuck felt his stomach turning when he realized how close to his limit his asshole was, how little more it took to tear him apart.

His trembling hand closed around the Alpha's cock base in dread, fingers touching the small part of Mark that wasn't inside of his body. When he slid his hand up along the length to his tense rim he felt the knot hanging half out of his ass and half pressing in. Blood and cum and slick wetted his fingers and his hand, and he quickly pulled it back to his chest which constricting in fear at the sight.

He had half a mind to struggle free, the pain and horror of the ongoing knotting becoming too much for him, but as if sensing his distress, Mark wrapped arms around him again, warm and comforting– but keeping him in place, too, as he forced his knot deeper inside of Donghyuck.

Donghyuck cried out weakly, his fingers clutching at Mark's arms around his body, but there was an urge within him to lay down and keep still now, a silent voice telling him to open up and to take the knot despite his pain, just to please his Alpha, who grabbed handfuls of his stomach now as if to remind him why he had to endure, why this pain was worth it.

The knot was deep inside of him now, pressing horribly against his walls and splitting him open. Every little movement hurt and Donghyuck sobbed quietly into the furs, weakly shuddering as Mark moved his hips to grind while groaning low in his throat.

Donghyuck felt his insides pulsing, clenching spasmodically around the Alpha's large cock, but the knot was still expanding despite the external pressure and Donghyuck felt as if he was seconds away from emptying his stomach's contents on Mark's bed.

"It hurts– it hurts!" He finally cried out, sobs shaking his whole body as he convulsed in pain. His voice snapped Mark out of his rut, worried eyes taking in his Omega's broken state. He quickly slid his hands up and down Donghyuck's quivering body, his own fingers trembling when he closed them around Donghyuck's chin to turn the Omega's head around.

"I know, shhhh baby, I know–" He murmured, his lips kissing away tears as he pressed his hips firmly against Donghyuck's bruised ass to grind. "Let me in, let me fill you up–"

Donghyuck sobbed, his fingers clutching Mark's arms as he squeezed his eyes and took a deep breath, forcing his cramping stomach to relax its tightened muscles until he sagged in Mark's arms.

The pain flared as the Alpha pushed his hips upwards for a last time, Donghyuck's birth channel closing around him and securing his cockhead in the Omega's womb just when the knot swelled into an excruciating size of pain and then finally burst.

Warmth flooded Donghyuck's insides and from behind and above him he heard Mark half groan and half sob. The Alpha's hips were moving again, driving his hard cock inside of Donghyuck's abused ass, but failing as both his own knot and Donghyuck's body locked him in place and only allowed him to grind.

He groaned, his hips jerking as his cock spurted pulse after pulse of cum inside Donghyuck's body, the sustained release feeling like a drawn out orgasm that left him weak and mouthing senselessly along his Omega's neck.

It took only a few minutes for Mark's cock to shrink enough in size to thrust again and the Alpha immediately did, his mind completely lost in pleasure as he forced his cock deeper inside Donghyuck's birthing channel while filling it up with more cum.

Donghyuck moaned as he felt his insides being squished by Mark's thick cock, but appreciated the recede of pain as the knot shrank with every burst of cum into his body. He felt sleepy despite Mark's insistent thrusts and felt himself slipping into a gentle haze. It took the hard edges of reality away and softened everything into a pleasant daze of subdued sound and colors.

Mark's thrusts were slowing down now, his hips rolling with more defined grace as he rode out his ongoing orgasm. Donghyuck felt his stomach swelling up from the amount of semen flooding it, but it felt good now. His Alpha's thrust felt like waves crashing against the shore and Donghyuck felt like drowning, his lungs suffocating and screaming for air, but when he gasped and breathed it in, it was to whispers of love and promises of a future together being kissed into his mouth and breathed down his lungs.

A hand wrapped around his neglected cock and Donghyuck moaned, arms and legs and heart and soul wrapping around his Alpha as he was turned around and held close and kissed senseless. Blinding white engulfed him, but amber eyes guided him through the brightness, keeping him anchored in their gentle wake as they both became one.

Mark's mouth slipped from his swollen lips to the column of his neck and Donghyuck took in a last shuddering breath before his Alpha bit down and claimed him.

Hands guided Donghyuck through the pain, until the initial discomfort subdued to a silent pulse calling for him through his conscious and leading him to where he was connected to Mark.

When he came to, only seconds had passed, but he was curled up and safe on top of his Alpha, their bodies still connected as Mark was grinding his hips inside of Donghyuck. Little bolts of pain shoot up Donghyuck's spine, but instead of crying out he relaxed, concentrating on the way warmth kept spurting inside of him. It put his mind oddly at ease as he was filled up and it felt so pleasant that he slowly dozed off again.

Donghyuck was fast asleep when Mark pulled out of him many minutes later, carefully turning his small mate around until Donghyuck sighed in his sleep and rested more comfortably on top of him.

As Mark pressed a kiss on top of his Omega's head he felt their bond pulsing strong and alive between them, connecting them and easing them to breathe and live in sync as their affection reverberated between them.

It was a small glow, Mark noticed with slipping vigilance, barely enough to see and feel, but it guided his consciousness towards his dreaming mate on top of him, where it shined beautifully and grew in jubilant intensity as Mark understood with a start.

A wide and blissful smile spread on the Alpha's lips as he tightened his arms around his mate, amber eyes swimming with tears as he pressed another kiss on top of Donghyuck's head and the flat palms of his hands delicately against the Omega's stomach.

There was already life growing inside of Donghyuck, small seeds of light glowing between them and flickered in delight. Mark chuckled as he closed his drooping eyelids to slip to where Donghyuck was already waiting for him.

In their dream, the soft light between them illuminated the night and shined beautifully in Mark's eyes, making Donghyuck blush whenever he looked up at his Alpha and saw him staring back at him with love in his eyes. When they woke up hours later, entwined and happy, they kept gazing at each other in quiet wonder.

Near dawn, Donghyuck leaned up to press a kiss against the bend of Mark's neck, his eyes shimmering with mirth and something else, something more, when the Alpha picked him up under his arms and gently pulled him on top his chest.

Donghyuck laughed, looking at Mark with his eyes shining beautifully for him before he bedded his head on his favorite spot on Mark's shoulder and watched the rising sun.

He missed the look of astonishment passing Mark's eyes, missed the way the Alpha's mouth dropped open before it widened into a smile. Donghyuck faced the morning sky, smiling slightly to himself as he watched the play of gold and blue above them, never turning his eyes away.

They were amber.

Lee Donghyuck at that river scene: "I'm washing me and my clothes"

*also in all honesty, by the laws of nature Donghyuck should have dropped dead from dehydration at
least three times before Mark even put his dick in him
