Prologue

Minho's POV 

20 Years Ago

The sun rose with clouds tinted blue, orange, red, and purple as I rolled over in search of my mate. Missing his warmth I whined and climbed out of bed, walking over to the balcony of our Australian beach house while softly caressing my swollen belly. "Hush, my Little Prince," I whispered to myself while looking out to sea as my son became restless within me. I purred to soothe my boy as I called out to his father, "Yunnie?" in a whisper.

.........................................................................

After I showered and dressed I went searching for my love and the father of my child. As I stumbled into the kitchen I spotted my brother-in-law sipping on a glass of blood orange juice at the table. "Morning Rhino." He whispered as he continued to sip his juice. "Good Morning Joongie." I replied, "Have you seen my husband?" He looked up at me, "Not since this morning." He said. "I think he and Channie went for a swim they should be back by now, so I would check the beach." "Thanks." I stood on the beach watching the waves as the cool water of the Pacific lapped at my feet. After a few minutes, I felt strong arms wrap around my waist rubbing my stomach as the tantalizing scent of Amber and Sea Cucumber filled my nose. Yunho. "Good Morning, My Love" he whispered in my ear making me shiver. "We missed you this morning." I whispered back, "Your son has been restless without you."

"He'll have to continue to be."

"Yunnie?" He didn't answer, "Yunho."

Silence.

I turned in his arms to find him staring at the ocean, "Yunho!" He looked at me and stepped back. I whined missing his warmth, again, looking in his eyes I figured out all I needed to know, "You're leaving."

It wasn't a question.

"Yes."

"You can't," I said.

"You can't leave me!" I screamed. "Leave us!" His eyes flickered, shifting from violet to red - his alpha, my alpha- he stared at me and I whimpered. "DO NOT. Raise. your voice at me, Minho." He growled, and I felt my eyes turn amber at his dominance. "I am your alpha, do you understand me?" My eyes never left my bump as I rubbed it softly. I felt Yunho's fingers grasp my chin in a firm grip as he raised my eyes to his, "Do. You. Understand?" I whimpered again softly my amber eyes fixed on his red ones, "Answer me!" He demanded. "Yes, Alpha," I replied.

"I'm leaving and I don't know when I'll return." He said stepping away from me his eyes shifting back to their gorgeous natural violet, "Hala Hala's in an uproar and I don't know why, but they need their king and I wish I could take you with me but the Wolfgang needs you, both of you." Tears prickled in my eyes as I looked to Yunho my mate, my love, my husband, and my alpha, "You're leaving me," I sniffed, "I'm pregnant with your child, I don't know what to do now." "What do I do?" Yunho pulled a box from his pocket and placed it in my hands. "Take this." I opened it as Yunnie took the box from me and placed the ring on my right ring finger opposite my wedding ring, "Yunnie?" I asked. "It's yours," He said, "Take it as a reminder of my love for you and our son, I'll be back as soon as I can, I promise." Yunho backed toward the ocean pulling me with him as tears streamed down my face.

"Oh Baby, don't cry." He whispered while wiping my tears from my blue eyes, "Take care of our son." "I love you. Always and Forever?" "Always and Forever." Then he pulled me into a deep kiss before he knelt to kiss my baby bump, "I love you, Little Prince." He kissed me one last time. And with that kiss, he slipped beneath the waves taking my heart with him, at that moment I swore I would never show my heart to anyone again other than my brother, his family, and my little prince.

-One month later-

As I sat with my little prince wrapped tightly in my arms some one knocked on the door. "Come in." I said firmly. I looked up as the door opened and my breath hitched, "Yunnie?" I gasped, "You're back?!" I whisper-yelled so as not to wake our son.

"What's his name?" Yunnie asked in a whisper. "Lee Felix Yongbok," I stated as quietly as possible. "I wish I was back for good my love, but alas I only came to see him before I returned to Hala Hala." He whispered. "Oh." I said staring into the stars that dotted our son's cheeks, "What do I tell him when he asks for you?" I asked. "You tell him I was lost at sea," Yunho looked at me with tears in his eyes.

"Tell our son I am gone." He kissed Felix's forehead then my lips. Before he walked back out the door he said one more thing,

"Tell our son that his father is dead."

Chapter 1

Felix's POV

Twenty Years Later
.
.
.
.

I never learned how to swim. My mother never let me. In the twenty years I've been alive I have asked my mother a total of 10 times and his answer has always been a resounding no. "Have you asked him yet?" asked Jisung, my cousin and my birthday twin,  Jisung being only a day older than me. "Not yet Ji." I replied. "How's your dad JiJi?" Jisung turned to me his blue eyes glossed over with his naturally blue hair dyed with blonde highlights swaying in the breeze, "He's gone." He sighed, "Probably on another bender or getting high somewhere, you know how he is ever since mom died."

"You mean was murdered." I whispered, "Yeah." He sighed a tear sliding down his face. "I should go ask him now." I got up and squeezed Ji's shoulder before walking back up the beach to the house.

"Ma?" I called out as I closed the front door of our beach house, "Mama?!" I yelled.

"In the kitchen, Baby!" He yelled back. I trudged slowly to the kitchen to avoid the inevitable, as I turned the corner I saw him my mother, Lee Minho, Boss and Eomma of the Wolfgang Mafia.

"Hi, Mommy." I said as I squeezed him tightly, "Hey Baby, Happy Birthday." He whispered in my ear as he squeezed back. "Since it's my birthday?" I started as I pulled away from him looking into his eyes our blonde and purple hair framing our faces, "I was wondering if maybe this year might be the year, I finally... learn... how to... swim?" I looked down at my seashell necklace while twisting my shell bracelet around my wrist.

"No." He said without hesitation, "But—"
He cut me off, "The answer is no, Felix." "Why not?" I persisted. "It's too dangerous, and I said no Lee Felix." "Do not ask  again." I fought harder, "Jisung gets to, why can't I?!" I screeched. "You're not Jisung." He said sharply, "Just because dad died at sea doesn't mean I–" I growled as he cut me off again, "Don't talk about your father with that kind of attitude." He growled back, "Do you understand me?"

His nostrils flared as his eyes shifted amber and my Alpha bristled within me while my eyes shifted to a bright red as a deep growl left my lips. "I am your mother Lee Felix Yongbok,  You do. Not. growl at me." He bolstered, "You go up to your room, now." "Yes ma'am." I replied as my red eyes faded back to violet, "I'll come get you for dinner soon."

"Yes, Mother."

Chapter 2

Jisung's POV

"Daddy?!" I screamed as I walked through the house my father shared with his brother and his son. As I passed through the living room Uncle Min sat up from the couch to scold me, "No screaming Ji, please?", "I've got a migraine." He whispered. "Sorry." I whispered back, "Have you seen my dad?" I asked gently placing a kiss on the omega's forehead. "Bedroom I think, love." He answered before laying back on the couch. "Thanks, Auntie Lina." "You're welcome, baby." "Do you mind checking on your twin when you've finished?" He asked. "Sure thing, I love you." I replied as he smiled at me. I took the stairs two at a time as I searched the next level of our beach house for my father.

"Daddy?" I asked opening his bedroom door only to find him passed out drunk and strung out on the floor of his bedroom, "Damn it." I mumbled as I pulled him into his bed after cleaning him up. "Ugh, Daddy, I can't keep doing this." I said after tucking him in and placing a kiss on his cheek, "It's been ten years since Mama died get yourself together, please?" I asked my head dropping to rest on the bed as I fell to my knees, "Daddy, I need you, I can't do this on my own." I sighed as tears slid down my cheeks, my blue and blonde resting around my eyes and framing my face. I sighed again as I shut his bedroom door to check on Lix.

-Time Skip-

"I don't get it Ji," Felix sighed from where he was laying on my chest, his blonde hair in a messy bun, as he toyed with his seashell necklace which was, supposedly, a gift from his father, "I'm twenty years old and I still don't know how to swim." "Did you ask him?" I asked my blue eyes curious. Lix looked up as he sat up next to me his famous, trademark side-eye displayed on his beautiful face dotted with constellation after constellation of freckles.

"Okay Okay, I'm sorry I asked, don't attack me." I chuckled putting my hands up in mock surrender, "What did he say exactly?" I asked catching my breath. Lixie Pixie sighed again "The same thing he said every other time I asked 'It's too dangerous.'" He mocked. "I don't know what you want me to say Pixie." I said. "Say you'll teach me." He replied a smirk on his lips, "And incur your mother's wrath?!" "I don't think so Cuz, are you trying to get me killed?!"

"Damn Ji, it was just a suggestion, damn it." He retorted. "I love you too Twinnie." I smirked before kissing his freckled cheek. "Get out." He laughed throwing a pillow at me that I dodged effortlessly. "Happy Birthday, Little Prince." With that, I shut his door and walked to my bedroom to sleep.

Chapter 3

Changbin's POV

I woke to screaming again and a knock on my door, "Binnie?" "Yeah?" I answered. "Can I come in?" Jin asked through the door. "You don't have to ask, Jinnie." I welcomed my cousin into my arms as soon as he walked through the door. I sighed "Let me guess, your dad and my mom are fighting again?" I asked. He only responded "yep" in a whisper as he snuggled up to me. I sighed again before I purred softly, in an attempt, to soothe Hyunjin, only receiving a soft purr in return. "Oh my God!" I heard from the kitchen, "Will you shut up about him?!" "This isn't about him, Min!" My uncle yelled back at my mother. "Let it go Jeongin!" My mother screamed, "It's been 20 years He's moved on, why can't you?!" Mama then stomped up the stairs. "I told you Seungmin, it's not about him!"

"Bin? Baby?" Mama opened my bedroom door, "Morning, Mama." I yawned as I looked up at my mother. "Hi, Baby." He said wrapping his arms around me, "I'm sorry Baby, did we wake you?" I nodded as I snuggled up to him relishing in his warmth as he scented me.

Hyunjin's POV

I walked out of Bin's room after unwrapping myself from him as soon as his mother opened the door, walking downstairs as quietly as possible. Slipping into the kitchen I pulled a banana milk from the fridge before gliding over to the kitchen table tangling myself around my father as he sat at the table scenting him in the process. "Jinnie." He pulled me into his lap, I buried my face in his neck breathing in the soothing scent of musk and Spanish moss.

"I was thinking of visiting Mama today. I was wondering if you'd want to come with me?" I asked my cousin as we sat up on the roof. Binnie sat up before responding, "Sure I haven't summoned Papa in a while."

We snuck off the roof holding hands. Changbin teleported us to our family mausoleum built by our great-great-grandparents shortly after they took over this territory. It was nestled deep in the woods surrounded by willows and wildflowers. I sat before the huge willow tree in the middle where we scattered my mother's ashes closing my eyes. Binnie was lighting candles somewhere in the distance preparing to summon his father's ghost. Uncle Mingi's been dead for about twelve or so years now, my mother had slit his own throat two years prior. I don't know how Aunt Minnie survived all these years raising Bin on his own. Regardless, he was my role model.

I took a deep breath, eyes closed as I reached out taking in the nature around me, letting it flow through my body as I called out to my mother.

"Jinnie."

I turned to the sound of my mother's voice as his spirit emerged from behind a tree. "Mama." I purred. I clung to him like a tree as he purred back softly. "Yeji didn't join you?" He asked leaning back to look me in the face. "We didn't really tell anyone we were leaving."

"We?"

"Changbin and I."

Changbin's POV

"Changbin?"

My father's ghost stood before me his red hair glowing in the light of the sun.

"Hi, Papa." I stepped closer as my father scooped me into his arms. "I've missed you." We sat down on the grass, with me sitting between his legs. I leaned against his chest, his scent of cinnamon and turmeric a comfort I haven't felt in years. "How's everyone else doing?" He asked smiling down at me over my shoulder. "Good. Jinnie's here with me."

"How is your mother?"

"Mama's fine, as fine as he can be, he misses you. Cries himself to sleep when he thinks I'm not listening."

"Oh."

"He still manages to sass and fight with Uncle Innie, so do with that what you will."

"Good good." He sighed, "So, Hyunnie's here?"

"Yeah," I said. "We snuck out together."

"You snuck out. Without telling anyone?" Papa growled. "Without telling your mother?"

"He wanted to see his mother. I wasn't just gonna let him go alone."

Howls sounded in the distance. Seems our parents figured out we left.

"You must leave, my son, but before you go, there's something I must tell you." My father whispered in my ear, "You mustn't tell anyone, not your mother, not Jinnie, and especially not your Uncle Jeongin, it'll be our little secret."

"What is it?"

He remained silent.

"Papa? You're scaring me."

"I did a favor, twenty years ago, for a friend. I placed a charm, an enchantment, on a necklace. To hide his son from danger, if-if you ever see him tell Minho I'm sorry, sorry I couldn't help him further."

"What about his son?" I asked, curious.

"If you ever get the chance to meet Yongbok, protect him, protect him with your life, he's innocent and doesn't deserve the life he's been forced to live.

Chapter Text

Seonghwa's POV

"Father?" I asked swimming into the Halateez Observatory where my King and Lord Father hovered over his scrying bowl crown in hand, "You sent for me?" "Yes my son, I need you to do something for me." He answered with a sigh. "Anything, My King," I replied with the slightest bow.

"I need you to find your brother," "What?... I don't... I think tha–" He cut me off, "SEONGHWA!... I'm not asking." "Find him, protect him, take your brothers with you." He said. "You protect him— them— with your life." "Do you understand?" "Yes, Father." I replied softly, "I understand."

"Go."

~~~~~~~~

Felix's POV

I slid downstairs using the railing while wrestling my natural blonde hair into a messy bun. Stepping in the kitchen I kissed Mother on the cheek. "Morning  Mama," I said pulling the milk from the fridge. "Good Morning, My Little Prince." He responded with a wide smile. I sat next to Ji at the island pouring my milk into a glass. "So Eomma, what's on the agenda today?" Asked a voice that was so familiar yet so unfamiliar at the same time.

"I don't know?... Are you going out drinking and getting high or are you ever gonna follow through on an assignment I give you?" Mama sassed through gritted teeth, his head tilted to the side with brows raised. "Whatever." Uncle Channie sassed back rolling his eyes as he turned and stalked out of the kitchen. "Daddy!" Jisung scrambled up from his chair. "I'll talk to him."

~~~~~~~~~

Yeonjun's POV

"Seonghwa where are we going?" I asked while brushing out my long silver hair before putting it in a half pony as I watched my big brother pack his essentials angrily. "Our King has tasked us with finding and protecting our brother and his "wife".  

"Hwa enough." Mark our eldest brother said. "But–" Hwa started. Mark cut him off, "Seonghwa I said enough!"

"Our Stepmother is innocent and does not. deserve. your disrespect." Mark huffed. "Junnie get packed."

"As you wish dear brother," I answered without hesitation. The sixteen of us swam to the surface some eight hours later. Seongwha was still pouting when we left. As we pulled up on the beach behind an outcropping of rocks we shifted into our human forms some of us still getting used to legs and all. Mark and his mate Youngjae corralled us all to get dressed then they dragged Seongwha from behind the rocks.

...............................

After we emerged from behind the rocks, we stalked our way through the city as we made our way through the shadows. Our invisibility a gift given to us by the sea itself. I was excited, this mission we were given was the most willing I had ever been. My dreams were consumed by several men, four in particular. I wanted to meet them, to hold them, embrace them, kiss them, and love them as they should be loved.

Those men being our beautiful maknae, Felix, his blonde hair and freckles shone as stars while his eyes sparkled like sunlight reflecting off the surface of the ocean. His smile often brightening my day. I called him Sunshine shortly after his birth along with his birthday and soul twin, Jisung, the second man who frequented my dreams, our Sunshine Twins. The third man was my darling Stepmother, Lee Minho, though he did prefer his English name of Rhino. We collectively decided (voted) to call Mother.

The fourth being the most important my alpha, Choi Soobin, the most beautiful man I had ever seen in my life. He had frequented my dreams the most since my powers manifested when I was ten as all merchildren's did.

Despair flooded through me as my sunshine brother popped into my head, he was going to have a hard time, and soon.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Minho's POV

I was wiping down in Felix's room after breakfast, and when that was done it was time to move on to the laundry. As I was folding and putting away my baby's clothes, I gently and lightly scented his shirts, something Felix had loved and begged for me to do since he was a pup, he never grew out of it though I never minded.

My pup was my pride and joy, my little alpha was my favorite gift, my most prized possession, and my greatest achievement. The last and only piece of his father I had left despite both of the rings on my fingers that I cherished. I love him with everything I have and everything that I am and all I can do is lie.

I hate lying to him. I wish I could tell him his father was alive and well. I wish he could finally learn to swim as it was his father's favorite pastime. I wish I could finally say yes and not have to watch my son's heart break on his face every time he asked and my answer was no, but Jackson.

Jackson, his father's ex, decided to start a war two decades ago. All because he couldn't get what he wanted. And what he wanted was my alpha. I growled softly at my thoughts. Because of Jackson, I lost twenty years with the love of my life and the father of my child.

Jackson's selfishness and unwillingness to move on and let go has forced me to lie to the one person I promised never to lie to. The moment I found out I was pregnant with my little prince I made a promise, a promise never to lie to him under any circumstances, a promise I have broken his entire life. It broke my heart to break that promise, but I am his mother, and I would do anything to keep him safe.

It's too dangerous.

Chapter 5

Minho's POV

I was suddenly pulled from my thoughts by a barrage of scents. Halfway down the spiral staircase was when I felt strong arms wrap around my waist and pull me back as the scent of Whiskey and Rye overwhelmed me, "Stay here."

"Channie–" I started before he cut me off, "Min. I said stay. Here." "Please?" I sighed as I stared at my twin, the fear in his red eyes squeezed at my heart. "Fine." I said softly, "Go."

After about fifteen or so minutes my brother made his way back up the stairs to me, "Min, there're some people here to meet you."

~~~~~~~~~~

Jake's POV

I sat on the couch as instructed while waiting for my Stepuncle to return with my Stepmother. I had Sunghoon, my sweet omega, on my chest with  Heesueng, my alpha mate, between my legs, as my brothers and their mates, except Yeonjun and Sunoo who had yet to find theirs, sat next to me on the couch, behind me, or on the floor.

"Seriously Jake?" Seongwha whispered from next to me, "What?" I asked turning to the left slightly to face him, taking into consideration where my mates were positioned. Hwa narrowed his eyes at me until a voice spoke from the doorway, "Boys." Uncle Chan walked into the room with my Stepmother behind him. I nudged Heesueng with my knee as I pulled Sunghoon up with me from the couch. Mark stood and bowed before our Stepmother as a "My Queen." fell from his lips. "My Queen." We echoed bowing deeply. "Sit. Please." He said pointing to where we were seated before. He sighed as he sat across the living room from us, "Explain." He said sternly eyes narrowed slightly.

Yeonjunnie decided to take the responsibility and spoke up first, "Our King and Father sends his regards... Mother, our mission here is to watch over and protect his beloved and heir." Mother's eyes widened as Jun finished, he turned to Uncle Chan before looking at all of us tears shining in his bright blue eyes. "You're welcome to stay," His voice trembling slightly, "I'll show you to your rooms so you can freshen up, then we can talk more my darlings." He said as he stood up from the couch.

----------

I laid my head on Heesueng's chest trailing my fingers across it while he ran his fingers through my silver hair. Sunghoon was in the shower. Heesueng pulled me up from his chest as he kissed my lips, his fingers trailed and teased at his mark on my neck. I moaned softly as I felt his wet tongue lap at it. While his hands slid down my body, one hand on my hip the other grasped my ass and squeezed drawing a louder moan from my lips.

A knock sounded as I groaned getting up from the bed. I opened the door to see Yeonjun in the hall, "Sorry, am I interrupting something?" He smirked. I rolled my eyes at him, "You're a menace, big brother." I said closing the door behind us. "Did you need something brother dearest?" He looked at me and the playfulness vanished from his eyes, "It's going to get bad... soon."

"Jackson is getting bolder in his attacks, we're not prepared and I'm worried." I wrapped him up in my arms as he teared up whispering reassurances in his ear. "Our brother must be protected at all costs, even if that means our lives." He told me before closing the door behind him.

----------

~~~~~~~~~~

Felix's POV

Jisung, Soobin, and I were walking up to the house laughing and pushing each other when we all stopped in our tracks. "Someone's here," Jisung whispered as we snuck through the garage. I hurried down the hall toward the living room following my mother's scent of Jasmine and Cherry Blossoms. "Mama?" I asked as I turned the corner into the living room. I stopped dead in my tracks, Ji and Soo's footsteps faltered behind me. Sitting across from my mother and uncle in the living room were several, strange, men. My eyes shifted to red as my shock wore off. I blinked and before I knew it I was crouched in front of my mother as a growl ripped through me.

One of the men in front of me moved from the couch. "Junnie." Another man spoke up, "Yeonjun!" Yeonjun ignored him and continued toward me. I watched his eyes turn amber. Yeonjun didn't falter as my growl deepened and grew louder. When he reached me, he placed his hands on my biceps and pulled me up until I was standing up straight.

He started to hum softly as he moved his hands to cup my cheeks, "Breathe, Sunshine." He whispered, "Breathe. Can you do that for me?" I felt my breath and heartbeat slow, my eyes returning to a deep blue. A sudden growl tore through the room. Yeonjun released my face from his hands and turned toward the door with a gasp, next thing I knew Soobin was in front of me pulling Yeonjun into his arms.

"Mine." He growled eyes red. Yeonjun leaned back into Soobin grabbing his hand, intertwining their fingers, "Simmer down, my love." He whispered. "Pixie." Mama grabbed my hand, "Meet our new guard." The look on his face screamed at me to apologize. "Sorry," I said as the atmosphere in the room shifted.

Chapter 6

Jungwon's POV

"How about you boys head upstairs and introduce yourselves." Mother suggested, "Yes, Mama." Felix answered. "Follow me." I reached over and grabbed Jay's hand as we followed Felix upstairs.

We sat on the floor of the game room in an awkward silence. Yeonjun sat next to Felix in our circle his mate behind him, a boy with blue hair and blonde highlights on his other side. I sat in Jay's lap with Jake to our left between Heesueng's legs and Sunghoon in his lap, Seonghwa was on the right in Yugyeom's lap. Sunoo was between Seonghwa and Beomgyu who had his mates tucked safely under his arm, Jinyoung and Youngjae rounded out our circle with Youngjae to Kai's right and Jinyoung to his.

"So who wants to start?" The blue-haired boy asked apprehensively. "Why don't you go first my love." Junnie told his mate leaning back against him. "Since you asked so nicely my darling." He placed a kiss to Junnie's cheek before he spoke again, "Hi, I'm Soobin 20 years old, a sniper and guard." Soobin nuzzled into Jun. "I'm Yeonjun, a new guard."

"Sunghoon,"

"Sunoo,"

"Yugyeom,"

"Jinyoung,"

"HueningKai, but you can call me Kai,"

"Beomgyu,"

"Taehyun,"

"Jaeyun, I prefer Jake by the way,"

"Heesueng,"

"Jay's the name,"

"Nice to meet you, I'm Jungwon," I whispered shyly. Yugyeom pinched Hwa's hip, "Introduce yourself." He hissed. "Hi, my name is Seonghwa."

"Your turn." Jun nudged Felix with his elbow. "Felix." He looked to the blue and blonde-haired boy, "Twinnie?"

"The name's Jisung, I go by Ji." The silence returned albeit slightly less awkward. "So what do we do now?"

----------

~~~~~~~~~~~

Jisung's POV

It's been two and a half weeks since we met Junnie and his brothers. Soo and Jun have grown closer as well, Soobin's mark resting comfortably on his chosen mate's neck. Jun bonded easily with Felix and me after finding out his birthday was a day before mine. Slowly the three of us became known as the Triplets. "Ji." A voice pulled me from my reverie, "What'd you say?" I asked as Pixie side-eyed me. "I asked what you wanted from SKZ Del Luna if you wanted that." He answered sharply.  "Oh, SKZ Del Luna's good."

"Cool, you want your usual?" Lixie asked as he threw his arms around mine and Junnie's shoulders. "Yeah."

~~~~~~~~~~

Changbin's POV

SKZ Del Luna was one of the best coffee shops and bakeries around, at least in my opinion it was. As I was walking up to the counter to pick up my order I stopped dead in my tracks as my eyes fixated on the prettiest set of royal blue eyes I have ever seen. And they were attached to the face of the hottest alpha in existence, that had my inner omega wolf, Lewis, panting like a bitch in heat. His puffed cheeks and kissable lips had me salivating, wondering just how soft they would be.

The alpha's strong but pleasant scent of brandy and cedar was intoxicating. A lilting and musical voice cut through my stupor, "You gonna tell me your name, Baby Girl?" He whispered in my ear, "Or are you gonna continue to stare, hmm?" I shivered as his lips brushed the shell of my ear, gazing into his now golden eyes.

"You first, Alpha." I sassed my eyes a blazing amber. The next thing I know the alpha pulled me flush against his chest, his hands resting gently on my hips squeezing lightly, "Name's Han Baby Girl, what's yours?"

"Changbin."

Chapter 7

Beomgyu's POV

We had all taken to calling our baby brother Felix, Sunshine. I guess Junnie rubbed off on us after all. Not that it took much, Felix and his sunshine twin Jisung were as bright and bubbly as the name suggested. Loud growls echoed throughout the house. I raced up the spiral staircase the scent of sour jasmine and amber thick in the air almost to the point of suffocating. Opening Felix's door, I rushed to my brother's side. I watched Felix toss and turn for a few seconds before my older brother instincts kicked in and I started to shake him. "Lixie Pixie?" I asked shaking him harder, "Wake up." His eyes opened a blazing crimson as he growled at me. "Hey." I said sternly, "Bubby, I need you to wake up Sunshine." His growls decreased in volume. "It's just a dream Bub, wake up for me." I went to grab his hands when his growls got louder and deeper.

Ok, time for Plan B, Mother.

Standing up from the floor, I rushed through the house attempting to locate my Stepmother, "Gyu?" Tae asked forehead creasing.

"Not now my love." I kissed his cheek, "Have you seen Mother?"

"No, not since breakfast." I kissed him again, this time on the lips, before running off again.

"Mother!" I shouted desperation evident in my voice, "Mother!" Tears streamed down my face as the weight of my desperation and failure overwhelmed me. "Gyu?"

"I- I fa‐." I stuttered as my Stepmother's eyes came into view, his hands resting on my face. "He won't‐ I tried."

"Beomgyu." He whispered, wiping the tears from my cheeks, "Baby I need you to calm down for me, ok, breathe baby breathe." I attempted to slow my breathing so I could speak, "Now, tell me baby, what's wrong sweetheart?"

"It's Felix."

"He was- I tried Mother." I managed to say through my tears, "He won't wake up."

Jisung's POV

My thoughts have been occupied by a certain omega as of late. For the past month and a half Changbin was all I could think of. He consumed my thoughts, my darling omega, my future bride. Utter perfection, everything about him. His hair, his eyes, his cute little button nose. His perfect little body was everything I desired in an omega. His utterly kissable lips, muscular arms, and sinful little hips that fit in my hands like puzzle pieces.
He had thick muscular thighs that I wanted to squeeze forever. Ugh, to be suffocated between his thighs. Fuck! How I wished, wanted, no need him to sit on my face. And his ass, his round, fat, juicy ass.

God, what I would do to take a bite out of that ass.

----------

Changbin's POV

The past month and a half has been a whirlwind, meeting my mate, and dealing with Mama and Uncle Jeongin's constant arguments over someone named "Rhino". Though, Jisung was all I could truly concentrate on despite all the drama around me. Not that I'm complaining the alpha was sexy as fuck. I've dreamed of mating with him damn near every night for the past month and a half.

I wanted him to manhandle me, toss me around, dominate me. Fuck me into submission. And his abs, God those abs. Mmm... I want to lick his abs til my tongue falls off.

"Damn, you're one horny bitch." Lewis scoffed in my head.

"Speak for your damn self."

----------

After quite the dramatic dinner, complete with my cousins' dramatic retelling of their day. My mother and uncle were arguing again, like give it a rest for fuck's sake. I swear me and Auntie Yuta are the only sane ones.

It took me twenty minutes to decide whether I wanted to contact Jisung or not. Coming to the conclusion that I was slightly horny just thinking about him—

"Slightly?"

"Shut up Lewis." I scolded.

Continuing with my plan, I closed my eyes trying to sense my mate, finally tracking him down in his room.

I teleported to his bedroom.

There he was with his back to me, a pair of sweatpants riding low on his hips. While he pulled clothes from his dresser, I wrapped my arms around his slim waist, my hands resting on his hard abs, and kissed his back.

"Hi, Papi," I whispered against his bare back. Jisung tensed before he turned to me, "Damn it, you scared the shit out of me, Baby Girl." He spoke caressing my cheek lightly.
"Sorry, Papi," I responded while scenting him softly. "It's fine." He reassured.

We lay cuddled together in his bed for about fifteen minutes before I leaned over and boldly pressed my lips to his.

For about two seconds before I found myself on my back as Jisung hovered over me, his eyes blackened with lust.

"Seems to me you forgot who I was, Baby Girl." He whispered before he began to kiss my neck, from my ear to my shoulder. I shivered at the slight growl in his voice. I began to whimper softly in pleasure as he started to brush his fangs on my neck biting gently.
"Ji–" I started softly as he continued his ministrations, "That's not my name, Baby Girl." He growled in my ear. "Papi" I moaned as he left hickeys all over my upper body.

After a few minutes of practically worshipping my thighs, Jisung flipped me harshly onto my stomach, leaving my pussy throbbing. Before I knew it the short baby blue tennis skirt I was wearing was thrown across the room leaving me in just my baby pink crop top and the royal blue laced thong I put on this morning.

Jisung growled as he began kneading my ass while kissing down my back.

"Damn, Baby Girl that ass is so fat, I just– mmmph, I just wanna take a bite of it." He growled in my ear leaning over me, his bare chest pressed against my back.

"Then do it, Alpha."

----------

~~~~~~~~~~

Seonghwa's POV

"Seonghwa!" My Stepmother's voice called out to me as I stared out the window of his home office. "What?!" I bristled, it's not that I don't like my Stepmother I do. I love him, in fact, I was just being a brat, so I could do my job properly without distractions. So I tried to keep my distance from that side of the family, especially Felix. He's our –my– little brother, our Father's heir. "Seonghwa." Mother once again plucked me from my thoughts, "I need you to hang out with Felix today." "Mother—" I started nerves settling into my bones, he grabbed my hands as he crouched in front of me. "Look at me baby, please?" My eyes met his. "I trust you, in fact, you're one of the only people, the first person I trust other than your father and myself, with my Baby's life." He continued, "Mark may be your father's firstborn and Pixie is the firstborn of my body, but you are the firstborn of my heart."
"But, Yeonjun—" He cut me off, "Junnie may be one-third of the triplets, but he is still young, it must be you, teach him everything, everything I cannot, that your father couldn't."

"It's long overdue but it must be done."

----------

"So, what do you know about merfolk?" I asked as Felix and I walked the beach. "Nothing, except they're a monarchy." He answered with a shrug. "Is there a reason that you're so fond of the beach?"

"I don't know," He started, "I never thought of one." I stopped to sit on a sand dune. "Can you think of one now?" I asked the sunshine who sat next to me. "I've always felt drawn to the ocean for as long as I can remember." Felix whispered as he rested his chin on his knees, "But, I've never been further than up to my ankles." I watched the light in my little brother's eyes die. "I never learned how to swim, and I don't know why but it hurts."

He may not, but I do.

It's a complicated situation, we've watched over them for two decades of war forcing our sweet Sunshine to suffer in pain. His Mer side was neglected, and underdeveloped, but it was going to mature, fast, and soon. I know how much it hurt him but it was a necessary evil.

Our Father's former betrothed didn't take too kindly to his rejection or subsequent finding of his destined mate. Despite the fact that Father never loved him, he persisted in wanting and planning his revenge. Waiting for his chance to destroy everything Father held dear.

Jackson was obsessed.

----------

~~~~~~~~~~

Felix's POV

Seonghwa was quiet for a while before he spoke, "Why?"

"What?" I turned to face him.

"You said you never learned how to swim, why is that?" He asked as he turned to look at me. "Mama never let me, said it was too dangerous," I answered his question while fiddling with my fingers as my necklace dangled before me. "He's right it is, in the ocean, but pools exist and I could teach you." My eyes widened, "You'd do that for me, really?"

"Of course, I think Jun wouldn't mind helping out either."

----------

~~~~~~~~~~~

Hyunjin's POV

I woke up in an unfamiliar room painted blue with cartoon waves painting the walls. I blinked to find myself in front of a bathroom mirror. Arms snaked around my waist, warm lips trailing open-mouthed kisses down my neck. I looked down as I felt hands rubbing against my stomach. "Thank you, Princess." A deep voice whispered in my ear. My head snapped up to the mirror again as I shivered. Staring into my reflection, I tried to catch a glimpse of the figure's face, but everything was a blur. The only features visible were a smattering of freckles and gorgeous cobalt-blue eyes. The figure continued to kiss and suck on my neck as his blue eyes bore into my green ones through the mirror. "I love you, Jiniret." At once the scenery faded.

I opened my eyes again, only to realize I was back in my bedroom. The green walls were comforting, covered in nature I had painted myself.

Chapter 8

Minho's POV

"He's getting stronger." I sat tensed in my office chair, Mark and Jaebum seated across the desk from me. "Mother I believe it's time to tell him the truth, Felix, his Mer side is —" I cut him off, "Absolutely not, it's too dangerous." Mark shared a glance with JB. "We can't keep him in the dark forever, whatever magic you used to hide him is wearing off." JB spoke just above a whisper, I sighed as Mark chimed in, "I know you're scared Mother, but Seonghwa and Yeonjun say he will mature, soon. With his wolf side and his abilities being suppressed for so long, he's going to become more aggressive, the dreams have already started, and his affinity is beginning to manifest." JB took over for Mark, "And it started the day we arrived."

"How long has he been having these dreams?" I inquired of my eldest two stepchildren. "We don't know exactly, we've asked but Lix and Jisung have been tight-lipped about it." I sighed, my little alpha was hiding something from me, not that I had room to talk. I was hiding enough from him for him to hate me. My lies were hurting him, I know, but I made a promise to his king and father to take care of our son, our heir. No matter what it takes I will keep my promise to my husband and Alpha. "Have you talked to your father?" The boys looked up at me brows raised in confusion, "What?"

"I asked if you've talked to your father?"

----------

I stood on the beach, the water lapping at my feet as I watched the sunset like I've done for the past twenty years, reminiscing on when life was simple and missing my husband. Twenty-two years ago was simple, pleasant, easy. I had my family, my brother, his wife, our parents. I was happy for the first eight months of my pregnancy, enjoying over two years of married life impatiently awaiting the arrival of our son. Only to have it all ripped from me. I hated this, all of it, lying to my son, hiding, forcing him to deny a part of himself. I was separated from the love of my life and we were forced to lie to our own son. Leaving him to believe that his father was dead, as he was forced to fight a war, all because of a man who was too childish and prideful to let go of something and someone that wasn't his.

I was scared of Felix's awakening. He was going to reach his Mer puberty long after he should have. I was trying to protect him in every way I knew how which included enlisting my ex-lover's brother-in-law to enchant the necklace Yunho had gifted our son shortly after he was born. 

"You're brooding, Brother." Chan stared out to sea, "That's my job."

"I'm not brooding, Christopher." I protested. "I'm remembering. Remembering when everything was perfect before it all went to shit."

~~~~~~~~~~

Sunoo's POV

I sat up in my bed, wanting my other half, my alpha, Niki. He was young it's true, but even then I knew it didn't matter. In our world, this universe, it wasn't like most universes. The age of majority was much younger. Because of our supernatural status and the nature of our relationships with the wolves, some shifter species, and other weres. Them being the only species with chosen mates. At age sixteen our minority was at an end, for most species. We merfolk on the other hand, for us, our minority is ended when we reach puberty at fifteen and our abilities manifest.

I've waited almost a century for him and I can't wait anymore. I needed to find him, soon, as my heat was coming up.

I need my Alpha.

~~~~~~~~~~

Yeosang's POV

"Yunnie." I swam into the throne room of Halateez Palace, my mates not far behind. My brother sat on his throne, his crown on his head, his face held the same gloomy expression that it has for the past twenty years since he was forced to leave behind his wife and unborn son on the surface. "Brother." He sighed.

It broke my heart to watch him suffer, all because of Jackson. That petty, selfish bitch stole my brother's happiness, robbed him of the chance to know his son. To watch him grow, see him take his first steps, his first shift, hear his first words. To teach him our history, to help as his powers manifested. He robbed him of the chance to prepare him to take the throne. "Baby, tell him," San whispered in my ear softly. "Brother, there is something you must know." I told him, "It's urgent."

He kept his head to the floor. "I have more important matters to attend to... Jackson—" I cut him off, my blood boiling, "It's Felix brother, you remember, your son." I hissed through my fangs as I glared at my big brother.

Yunho tensed, eyes widening, before he swam to me hands on my shoulders, fear evident in his eyes. "Tell me." He demanded as he backed away.

"We can't hide our existence away from him any longer," I informed him, "His dreams have started, Mingi's magic is wearing off, and he will mature soon, find his mate." I swallowed. "It will be aggressive and painful." I finished as my brother remained lost in thought.

"What do we do?"

~~~~~~~~~~

Felix's POV

"Sam!" My head ached as I sat up in my bed, eyes wide, as I breathed heavily. I turned to my alarm checking the time. 6:00 a.m, well fuck. I slipped down the stairs, traipsing into the kitchen, heating up some water for tea. I sipped my tea ten minutes later when Jisung walked in laying his head on my shoulder. "Morning Ji, what's got you up this early in the morning?" I asked taking another sip. "Nothing, what about you Little Prince?" A sigh left my lips as I chose to continue drinking my tea, ignoring my cousin. "Dreams again?" He asked sitting up. "Yeah, though I have no idea who the other person is, all I know is that they're male," I said getting up. Placing my mug in the sink, I turned to lean on the counter facing him.

~~~~~~~~~~

Jisung's POV

"Other than that, he's a pretty little babe with green eyes." My head shot up when he finished. Hyunjin? Why would my baby cousin be dreaming about my mate's? "What's his name?" I asked nonchalantly, attempting to be inconspicuous. "Sam." He shrugged, "Why?"

"No reason, just curious." Right then Auntie Lina and Yeonjun stepped into the kitchen, Jun sat next to me while Auntie Minho went straight to his pup and scented him, before reaching for the coffee pot. The rest of the brothers trickled in slowly and sat at the table for breakfast. Our usual morning routine.

I walked upstairs to my father's room after plating the tray and balancing it, soft grunts could be heard from the other side as I knocked. Opening the door, I walked in, quietly setting the tray on his bedside table, turning to the bed I shook my dad awake. Ugh, another fucking bender. It's the first time he's been home in three weeks.

"Daddy?" I hovered over him, shaking him again. "Ji." He hummed turning over.

"Yeah." I whispered, "I brought breakfast."

He groaned lowly as he sat up, back against the headboard. I handed him the tray. "I got you some Aleve, for when you're finished," I told him as he took the last bite of his pancakes. "Thanks, Quokka." He whispered, in English his Australian accent thick, while he brushed my cheek with his fingers.

"You're welcome, Daddy," I replied in English. I know it's weird, to most people, for a grown man to call his father daddy, but honestly I just never grew out of it.

~~~~~~~~~~

Han's POV

"Hi, Mama." I sobbed in front of my mother's grave as I played with his wedding ring on my necklace. "I've missed you." It's been a decade since we lost my mother and Daddy has never been the same. He was murdered in front of me when I was ten. Daddy's blamed himself for the last ten years because he wasn't there. After finishing up a mission for my late grandfather, he came home to find me on the living room floor covered in his blood, my mother's body lying cold on the kitchen floor. Someone murdered my mother and when I find out who, may God bless their souls because I was going to rip them to shreds. After I rip their hearts out of course. Just like they did my mother.

"I wish you were here," My sobs continued as I tried my hardest to speak,  "It's not the same without you, I'm all alone now, Daddy's spiraling, and I don't know what to do anymore. I can't do this on my own!" I was so caught up in my own grief, I didn't notice my father behind me.

"Han?"

~~~~~~~~~~

Seungmin's POV

"Morning." My brother and his new wife sauntered into the kitchen. "Morning, Yuta." I replied with a smile, "Brother."

"Seriously, Min, it's too early in the morning for your attitude." Jeongin scoffed.

I don't know why he's so surprised, we used to be a unit back in high school, along with his former lover. We were known as Savageracha.

"Did you forget, baby brother, that I was the leader of Savageracha?" I shrugged with a smirk. "I hate you." He pouted, resembling a baby fox.

"Whatever, Baby Bread." With that, I exited the kitchen.

I went to wake up my son, knocking on his door. "Changbin?" He didn't answer, I opened the door, "Bin?" I stepped in further, panic settling in. "Changbinnie?" Where are you?

"He's not here." I turned at the sound of my nephew's voice. "Hasn't been since we went to bed last night." Niki continued. "Do you know where he went?"

"Nope." He answered. 

"Thank you, Baby."

I headed down the stairs.

~~~~~~~~~~

Changbin's POV

It was around 10 am when I got home. After spending the night and the entire next day with Jisung. I hid his scent on me as I tried to sneak past the kitchen. "Morning Binnie boy." Shit. I turned and faced my mother, staring blankly, before his voice snapped me out of my trance, "Good Morning, Mama, would be nice." He sassed.

"G-Good Morning, Mama." I stuttered.

"And where have you been?"

"I went for a run."

~~~~~~~~~~

Hyunjin's POV

I was dreaming again.

This time I was sitting on a couch my hands on my swollen belly. Wait, swollen belly? Looking down I found I was indeed pregnant. "Hmm, look at you," there's that deep voice again, "Swollen with my pups again, Princess."

Again?

At that moment I felt two tiny bodies wrap their arms around me. I groaned at the added weight, as the deep voice spoke once more, "Jihoon, Wooyoung. Be careful."

I saw two baby faces look up at me with the most captivating heterochromatic eyes and a smattering of the most beautiful freckles I have ever seen.

The boys had one blue eye, the other green.

Chapter 9

Yeonjun's POV

"I've figured out something," I told my brothers, minus Felix of course, as we went for a swim our tails shimmering beneath the surface. Soobin sat waving under the umbrella. I blew a kiss his way winking at my mate. "And what would that be, Brother?" I looked at Sunoo. "Your mate's brother." Sunoo just looked confused. "What?"

"Your mate's older brother is the only thing that can calm Felix and carry him through his transition. Other than Father of course." I continued before swimming back to shore. Walking up to Soo I grabbed his hand and pulled him to me towards the sea.

"Swim with me, Alpha."

~~~~~~~~~~

Yeji's POV

"Mommy, Papa." I greeted my father and stepmother. "Niki." I flicked his forehead, "Yeji!" He screeched rubbing the sore spot, glaring at me. I ignored him to kiss my twin on the cheek, "Morning, Jin." He smiled before he continued to eat his breakfast.

----------

"Have you been having any weird dreams lately?"

"Are you okay, Jinnie, what's going on?" I looked at my big brother, concern and surprise etched on my face. "I thought I was the only one."

"I have, too." We turned to see Niki leaning against the doorframe.

"You shut the door, you spill." I pointed to both of my brothers in turn. Let's get this gossip train on the tracks. "Well, what do you want to know?" He asked. "Everything!" Niki and I exclaimed in unison. "I don't know his name, but he has the deepest voice I've ever heard in my life,—"

~~~~~~~~~~

Hyunjin's POV

"His eyes were as blue as the darkest parts of the ocean, with stars on his cheeks and nose." I continued as my twin and little brother sat at attention, their green and brown eyes afire with interest. "What else?" Yeji squealed, barely containing her excitement. I thought back to the dream I had a month ago.

Those adorable little boys with the most gorgeous pairs of heterochromatic eyes. How one of them they definitely got from me. And their blue eye, that beautiful blue eye, just had to have come from the handsome blue-eyed stranger in my dreams.

If only I knew his name.

It wasn't until Niki nudged me with a look on his face that said 'continue' that I realized that I had spaced out for a good five minutes. "Oh, sorry, I was thinking." I apologized. "About what?"

"My latest dream." I pouted brow raised, "There were these two little boys with the cutest little stars spread across their cheeks. They have heterochromia, one blue and one green eye." I  felt two pairs of arms wrap me in a cocoon of warmth and fingers brush my cheeks. "No tears, big brother," Niki said.

"O-one of-of th-them was n-name- named Woo-Wooyoung." My sobs continued as Yeji gasped and squeezed tighter.

Felix's POV

It feels weird.

I haven't had a dream about Sam in a month. I had gotten used to seeing his pretty green eyes every night. Then again that's all I know about him, I've never been able to see his face clearly.

He was my Princess though, and it showed especially after my last dream.

I figured he was my mate, but that didn't make sense. I was a werewolf our mates are chosen not destined. Unless he wasn't a werewolf, maybe he was a hybrid, like Jisung. I wish I could ask him these things. Meet him. Touch him. Kiss his full pouty lips and stare into his green eyes for the rest of my life.

I wanted to know him. Biblically.

I could picture it, clear as day, Sam round and swollen with my pups, being pampered like the Spoiled Princess he is.

----------

The brothers, Sung, Soo, and I stood around Mama's office as he sat quietly at his desk, hands folded over some notes there. "Jisung." He spoke, his voice firm and authoritative, despite the fact that he was an omega. Not that many people were happy with that. Many in the Wolfgang thought that Uncle Channie should have kept his position as the head of the Wolfgang.

Grandpa Soonyoung decided to give the position to my mother after Auntie Joong was murdered and Uncle Chan spun down into his grief spiral. Mama didn't let it stop him though, he just ignored the whispers.

He led the Wolfgang with his head held high and an iron fist.

"I have a task for you and Yongbok, I need you two to check the borders," I wasn't the biggest fan of my Korean name and preferred Felix, but since I started preparing to take over the Wolfgang, I decided to use it for business and business only. Then again I only heard it when I was skating on thin ice anyway.

"There has been a strange scent popping up these past few months. And I want you to find out who it is, take Star and Jun with you." He continued. Jisung went pale a whispered 'Baby Girl' falling from his lips before he addressed Eomma, "Do you want me to go as Han or J.One?"

"Han." Eomma answered, "Go now, it'll take you a while to get to the border."

"Oh. And stay away from the Clés, whatever you do."

"Is that understood?"

"Yes, Eomma." We spoke in unison like the dutiful soldiers we are.

----------

It was pouring, rain soaking me to the bone, as we ran. Yeonjun and Seonghwa were behind us conversing quietly, Han was murmuring under his breath beside me. I couldn't get it out of my head, so I decided to ask him about it.

"Is there something you wish to tell me, dear Cousin?" I asked a smirk on my lips. Han stared at me unamused.

"Nothing." His golden eyes narrowed.

"Are you sure?"

We walked for a few more minutes before I bugged him some more. "So... Who's Baby Girl?"

Han slowed, "Let it go, Cousin."

"I'm just curious."

I continued. "I seriously don't get it, I tell you everything I know, about Sam, but when I ask the same your lips are sealed." We stopped walking as the brothers walked ahead, never straying too far. "Oh please, just give it a rest, Felix."

The alpha in me raged at the challenge as my red eyes matched his.

"What happened these past few months? We used to tell each other everything, all our lives. I've always considered you my brother." I growled out as my frustration grew, "What happened to us being twins Han? Huh?"

Hannie's stare hardened further as he stalked closer to me. I felt his hand wrap around my throat, red eyes ablaze with fury.

"I said let it go, Yongbok."

He hissed before turning around to catch up with Star and Jun.

Chapter 10

Changbin's POV

I didn't want to be here.

I wanted to be cuddled up with my alpha not babysitting my baby cousin on a mission that may very well lead to my mate's capture, but I had no choice.

Uncle Jeongin was the boss, the Appa, what he says goes.
Hyunjin walked a little ahead of me in the parking lot of the strip mall that separated the Clé Mafia's territory from that of the Wolfgang.

I felt his dominating aura before I saw him. The scent of brandy and cedar tangled with an unfamiliar scent I had never smelled before, jasmine and amber. I settled into my mate's embrace, turning to bury my head in his chest.

"Hi, Baby."

~~~~~~~~~~

Hyunjin's POV

I tugged down my skirt over the fishnets that stuck to my thighs in the rain. My long black hair was tied up in a perfect bun. Several strands clung to where they framed my face.

One moment I was walking in an empty lot minding my own business when I brushed against someone's shoulder hard enough for us to turn and face each other. Next thing I know I'm staring into the deep blue eyes of the man of my dreams. The blue-eyed stranger's stare sent shivers down my spine.

"Destined," Rose whispered as Jinger growled in my head.

We had already discussed potential mates when I presented at sixteen. He trusted Rose and Sam implicitly, he would choose our destined mate regardless of whether we barely knew each other or not. He trusted Sam and Rose, as much as I did, to protect us.

A low, deep growl lured me back to the present when I felt the alpha draw me into him. He nosed my neck as I drowned in the bawdy scent of jasmine and amber.

"Sam." He whispered, his tongue darting out to lick my scent gland, lightly. I don't know how he knew my name, but I didn't particularly care. He was my alpha and that's all that mattered. Heat pooled in my stomach as sweat slowly started to build on my body, causing my alpha to growl into my neck, grinding on me.

I was cold, the arms around my waist had disappeared. My alpha was gone.

Loud growls were heard over my whimpers and whines, my alpha struggling against the three bodies that dragged him away from me.

Bin gripped my arm, pulling me away from the growling alphas. "Jun, run! Call your mate, and tell him we need assistance. And get Yugyeom while you're at it, we need all the help we can get." The blue-haired alpha demanded as he grappled to keep his hold on my alpha.

"Alpha." I whimpered as Changbin held me back while I struggled against him. My alpha's growls grew louder for every step that put distance between us. "I'm sorry," Changbin whispered in my ear.

"Brother enough."

"Don't just stand there yelling at him, Seonghwa. Help me." The blue-haired man scolded the silver-haired man. "I can't, Cousin. You know that!" Seonghwa yelled back as two more alphas ran up to my mate as he continued to growl at them.

"Han!"

"I can't hold him." Han screeched.

"Calm down."

"Yongbok! Yongbok, we need to go." Han dragged him back into their territory.

Changbin threw me over his shoulder as he carried me back over the border into Clé territory. I whimpered as the pain and heat ripped through me. "I know, Jinnie, I know. It hurts I know and I'm sorry, but you're gonna have to go through this one alone." Binnie soothed his voice soft, barely above a whisper.

I was in heat with no alpha.

Yongbok.

At least I knew his name now.

My blue-eyed stranger.

~~~~~~~~~~

Jisung's POV

It's been about three weeks since the assignment.

Felix has been even more aggressive since his rut was triggered ahead of schedule. The brothers decided to finally spill the secrets of their relationship to our family. It felt nice to have more family around, despite the fact we were in the middle of an unprovoked war. I was sworn to secrecy about everything, including the fact that Felix's father was indeed very much alive, for Felix's safety and his mother's.

I haven't seen my mate in almost a month. My Alpha needed his Omega.

----------

I gripped Changbin's chin softly, staring into his dark amber eyes. Drool pooled at his lips, slowly raining down his chin like honey, causing my pants to tighten.

"Tell me what you want, slut." I said, my voice feigning softness for him. When he didn't respond, my fingers tightened around his hips, nails digging into his supple skin. My voice hardened as well as my cock. "I said," I started my hands moving to his hair. "Speak."

"Please Papi —" He trailed off, his body trembling like a scared puppy. The sight turned me on more than words can say and all I could do was rip off the tight lavender crop top he wore. His slight abs and tight muscles had me groaning under my breath. "Be a good little whore for me. Hmm?" I whispered in his ear as I kneaded his soft, juicy ass. "You'll let me use your body won't you, Baby Girl?" All he could do was nod which was enough for me.

"Good girl, baby." I spanked him, hard, reveling in the sound of his sharp gasps.  I repeated the action. Cupping my hand, bringing it down hard on him. His gasps and moans were delicious, music to my ears, but they weren't enough. "Such a good little slut." I moaned. "You hear that? This is what you do to me, Baby Girl."

I ripped his pants down, his thong bunching around his knees. I didn't hesitate to spank him even harder. The slight jiggle of his ass made my cock leak and strain against my jeans. "You look so pretty right now, baby," I said as I nibbled on his ear, biting down hard, causing soft moans and whimpers to fall from his lips. "You can take it."

"You will take me."

"Yes"

"Papi please." He begged softly, fingers gripping the sheets in anticipation. He was a writhing, squirming mess for me, just for me. Only for me.

My Omega.

I reached over and grabbed the lube from the bedside table, squeezing some onto my fingers. The cool substance coated my digits as I rubbed them against my mate's tight puckered hole. I pushed one finger inside of him, feeling Changbin's breath stutter. He whimpered softly when I pushed in further pumping one finger in and out then two then three. He was finally stretched out around my fingers as I fingered his pretty pink hole. I spanked him again with my free hand, curling my fingers until I felt a soft gummy bulge inside of him. He moaned loudly, his pussy twitching and leaking onto the sheets.

Found it.

~~~~~~~~~~

Changbin's POV

I was so tired of waiting my thighs trembling. "Papi please." Soft whines left me as my alpha sped up his fingers, "Please, put your cock inside me, Papi. Please." I begged him, my body shaking. Jisung smirked down at me smugly. He spanked me again, making me moan. "Since you begged so sweet for me." He said, tugging his jeans down.  His hard cock sprung free his wet, pink tip dripping for me. He pulled his fingers out of my hole pressing them to my lips. "Suck." He ordered. I opened my mouth to let him in tasting myself. "Look at you so wet for me." I trembled as he finally replaced his fingers with his tip. He pushed in slowly my breath stifling. "Please —" I started as he pushed in fully. He didn't give me time to catch my breath before he began fucking me hard and rough, his hands gripping my muscles.

"Fuck, you're so pretty. My baby." He moaned in my ear while pounding into me, his hips snapping against mine. I could feel his tip slamming against my prostate, making my body tingle. My hole tightened around his throbbing cock inside of me.

I was so close.

He pulled out of me slowly, his tip soaked. "Nuh-uh." He rasped in my ear, groping my ass. "You don't get to cum yet."

"I need you to be a good girl for me."

I whined softly, looking back at him. "I'm a good girl." My slick dripped down my thighs, coating the bed. My stomach filled with butterflies as I rode the waves of my abandoned orgasm. "I can take it... please." I begged, reaching a shaky hand back to slowly stroke his cock. He looked down at me with lidded, hungry eyes like he'd been holding himself back for a while. The sticky sounds of my slick coating on his shaft turned me on even more. My hand moved pumping his hard cock, from base to tip. I knew I was doing a good job judging by the soft groans he released. Suddenly, he turned me around and yanked my hair pulling my face down to his erect member.

Without hesitation, he shoved his cock in my mouth, all the way til the tip of my nose hit the base of his v-line, filling my throat with him. He pounded into my throat, ignoring the sounds of me gagging and whining around him like a bitch in heat.

"Is it too much? Huh?" He teased, looking down at me with narrowed eyes. Sweat glistened on his pale skin, highlighting every perfection in his face. "You can take more."

"This is where my cock belongs. Deep inside your throat." He said, thrusting into my throat again. "Your pussy." He emphasized yanking my hair. "And your ass." After a few moments, I pulled off of him drooling, a string of saliva connecting me to him.

It was all too much, too fast.

The sweet vanilla taste of my slick on my tongue, my throat sore, vision blurred. I coughed violently, borderline choking from the sheer force of his hips.

I looked up through teary eyes, silently begging. "Please, Papi," I rasped through my sore throat. "Take me."

"Fuck my pussy, Alpha."

He smirked at me again, his face flushed red. "You can do better than that, Omega slut."

"Fucking beg for me."

"Beg for your alpha's cock." I began rubbing my face against his cock, whining and squirming. My entire body was set ablaze by his harsh words and demeaning gaze.

"I said beg, bitch." He slapped my face causing it to sting.

"I need it."

"Please, I'm so wet for you... my pussy feels so empty without your cock." Something in his eyes flashed before he suddenly pulled my hair again.

He pushed me onto my back, gently pulling me on my side. In an instant my thighs were folded to my chest as he slipped behind me, perfectly slotting his body against mine. "Good girl," he whispered before biting my neck. "I'll give you exactly what you need." He teased my clit with the head of his cock, sliding it through my soaked pussy. "Don't tease," I begged, tears sliding down my cheeks. "Aww... pretty baby." He pushed his head through my tight ring of resistance forcing a strained moan from my lips. It was only the head but even then it was far too big.

"Ho-hold on... give me a minute."

But he didn't give me a minute, or even a second. His hips snapped against mine as he buried his cock deep inside of me, making my walls a home for his dick.

I let out a silent scream mouth wide, no sound escaping me. He pulled out slowly, teasingly making shallow thrusts, before burying himself inside again. I could feel each deep thrust churning my pussy, smooth like butter, and it was almost too much to take. But I needed to make my mate, my alpha, proud. I pushed my ass out as his arm wrapped around my waist, fingers teasing my nipples while he fucked me deep from the side. The tip of his cock smashed against my cervix so much I feared he was trying to burst into my womb. "Too... too much!" Jisung kissed my neck before biting down and sucking aggressively, short grunts and growls following his actions as he marked my skin in red bruises. My back arched into him my hips jerking as I pathetically attempted to fuck him back.

"Pretty baby, taking his alpha's cock so fucking well." He rambled, his thrusts growing sloppier and less coordinated. "Take my fucking load, you whore. Do it for me."

"You gonna let me pump you full of my pups huh? Gonna let me breed you?"

"Breed you til you're round and swollen with my pups?"

"Make me proud, Baby Girl."

These words were enough to fill my belly full of heat as I felt my oncoming orgasm completely overtake my body. "So close, I'm gonna... unh." I moaned softly as my pussy tightened on his cock trapping him inside of my wet, tight, heat. Tears streamed down my face as his hand slid downwards, finger twisting and twirling my clit.

My pussy spasmed on him, milking him dry as my slick gushed out, coating him. It was so amazing, all I could do was grip the sheets as sweat streamed from my forehead. I yearned for more. He fucked into me even more, his large hands gripping whatever he could.

Suddenly his hips lost their rhythm and after a moment he stilled, filling my tired walls up. He fucked into me slowly.

"Good girl." He moaned softly.

The sound of his rough, raspy voice growing soft made my heart throb and pound against my chest. I could feel the tip of his cock pulse inside of me as his cum shot inside, breeding me, filling me full of his seed. It stung slightly, but the pain was perfect just knowing he was nestled deep inside of me. He squeezed my stomach, rubbing little circles on my sweaty skin as he let his cock stay completely buried within me. Like we were one and could never separate again, even if we wanted to. "Feels so good," I whispered, my eyes feeling droopy as my spent pussy clenched him, not allowing his cock to slip out for a second.

"I know... I know." He rasped, kissing and sucking on the side of my neck until dark red and purple bruises bloomed in their wake. Each pump of cum that splashed against my walls made my body continue to vibrate. I hummed softly my entire body floating on cloud nine. Our sticky, sweaty bodies were flush against one another, but the heat was far from overbearing. Jisung chuckled from behind me as he tightened his hands on my waist, slowly trying to pull out. I whined and tightened my pussy around his shaft, forcing a groan from his lips. "What do you think you're doing?" He strained, cock throbbing again as it stayed hard inside of me.

"Don't pull out."

I wasn't asking. I needed him to stay. I pushed my ass against him again, forcing him back inside of me, snug against my cervix.

We were quiet again. The room filled only with the sounds of our gentle but heavy breathing, and my soft purring.

"I love you," I whispered, clutching onto his hands, locking them onto my waist as if he was about to float away from me into the darkness. I prayed he wouldn't try to pull out again.

"I love you too, Baby Girl," Jisung said, his voice carrying a warmth I hadn't heard in some time.

Chapter Text

Chapter 11

Hyunjin's POV

I  hated it.

I hated this—the pain, the restlessness, the heartache, the loneliness. Jinger was restless, and Sam and Rose were tense. My room was completely covered in vines and grasses. Some of the vines were thickly wrapped around the handle of the locked door, fortifying it.

I have declined to permit anyone entry since the conclusion of my heat three weeks ago, including my twin, my younger brother, my aunt, my stepmother, and my father.

And especially not my cousin.

Binnie betrayed me. Stole me from my mate, my alpha.

I'll never forgive him. Never forgive him for forcing me to suffer my heat alone, without my alpha. Never forgive him for taking me away. Taking me away from Yongbok, my alpha, my mate.

My Yongbokkie.

I wanted to see him, talk to him, and touch him. I wanted to feel his warmth; it was so cold without him, I was so cold, without him. I wanted to smell his heavy, heady scent of jasmine and amber. I wanted to feel his strong arms wrap around my waist. Though I only felt them around me for a few minutes at most, I still remember how they felt in my dreams.

Speaking of dreams I remembered the ones I had before I met my darling mate gave hints to the future. I had seen glimpses of our sons Jihoon and Wooyoung, our future pups a perfect mix of me and my alpha, my future husband, the love of my life, and the father of my future children.

I had dreamed of the pups again recently, this time the boys and their sisters were all grown up, I was pregnant again my belly swollen with pups for my alpha, two more pups curled into my side, and one in my arms. All of them had their father's scattered freckles.

Other faces filled the house some familiar others not so much. My father and stepmother were there, Aunt Minnie, Yeji and Riki were there too. I was met with some of the faces I recognized from our botched mission four weeks ago.

Jun, Seonghwa, and Han were the only ones whose names I knew other than Yugyeom. Not that I knew which alpha that showed up he was or the name of the other just that one of them was Jun's mate. Of course, my traitorous cousin was there too, cuddled up to eight pups of varying ages. The youngest of them being at least four or five years old.

~~~~~~~~~~

Mingi's POV

I wish I wasn't dead, I missed my family. My only son, my wife. My wife, Seungmin, was the love of my life. We were high school sweethearts, and I loved everything about him, his sass, his beauty. The double lip piercing. Minnie was a menace along with that brother of his. Savageracha was a sight to behold and quite the trio.

Our group consisted of me, Seungmin, Innie, Rhino, J-Hope, Rhino's brother Chan, and Chan's boyfriend Hongjoong. Our friend group was close, that is until the whole Jeongin/Minho split. Wooyoung didn't come into the picture until about a year after their breakup. By that point, the brothers and Hongjoong had left the group. A few of us stayed in touch with them, not that Seungmin and Jeongin were particularly happy about it, in fact, we argued about it for years. That was when we met Yunho, Rhino's mate, and the reason he and Jeongin split.

Here I was now sitting with the ghosts of my friend and my brother-in-law as I watched my only son sulk in a booth with a milkshake and a stranger. "Well, they've grown haven't they?" I looked up, "That they have." Hongjoong said with a soft smile on his face. "Have you talked to your son since the last time you saw him, Youngie?" I asked Wooyoung as we sat back in the booth."Yeah, I talked to him yesterday. He and Binnie aren't on speaking terms, apparently. I have news." He answered. "Why?"

"If you would let me finish maybe I would tell you."

"Sorry." I apologized.

"Now, I know you're wondering what news I have and it looks like we're gonna be one big happy family, that is if we can get those two stubborn and hot-headed leaders of the two biggest rival mafias to cooperate." Wooyoung grinned at us while we stared confused, "Whatever do you mean, Wooyoung?" Joong asked. "I mean I learned from my sweet baby boy that he met an alpha, his destined in fact. Said his name was Yongbok also that Binnie was there and certain others. The name that stood out the most to me other than his mate was Han. They were on a mission, now what that mission entailed I have no clue, all I know is that it went sideways. It triggered Jinnie's heat ahead of schedule."

Well, isn't it funny how things come together? Who would have thought Rhino and Innie's breakup would end up bringing us all back together in the end? One big happy family. "One big happy family huh? I have a feeling there's more." I said looking at my brother-in-law. "Look at your son. What do you see?" I looked over at Changbin and the stranger's table, since when did Bin have a tattoo? He didn't, I watched as the blue-haired boy grabbed Binnie's hand intertwining their fingers. I looked deeper beyond the tattoo glamour and I noticed it indeed wasn't a tattoo instead it was a mate mark.

He was mated.

"Binnie has a mate now." Hongjoong's eyes shot to the other table. "Looks like we're going to be sharing a grandchild at some point in the future." He said. "What?" I looked Joongie in the eye. "It seems your son is mated to my son."

~~~~~~~~~~

Felix's POV

I was trudging my feet along the line of neutral territory where I met my pretty Omega. The past month has been pretty downright torturous. My rut had started though I had already been through one two weeks before our botched mission.

An hour of pacing later I caught a whiff of a familiar scent. The scent of strawberry wine and honey assaulted my senses as my mate launched himself into my arms. I tightened my arms around his slutty little waist as I buried my nose in his scent gland. "Hey Pretty Baby, I got your message."

Chapter Text

Chapter 12

Hyunjin's POV

"Hey Pretty Baby, I got your message," Yongbok whispered in my neck as he scented me, preening softly. It felt amazing to be back in my alpha's arms as he chased away the chill that had settled into my bones since he last held me. I had sent him a message through our mate link. I had hoped it would work since we didn't have the chance to fully develop it before we were dragged away from each other a month ago. I relaxed in his presence as I disentangled myself from him. I looked up only to find Yongbok was already staring at me his blue eyes alight with lust and something else I couldn't decipher. "Yongbok?" I purred drawing his attention back to reality. "Felix, my name is Felix." He answered.

"What?" I asked confused, "Yongbok is my Korean name, but I prefer Felix. I don't use it often, only for missions or business relations." Oh, that makes a hell of a lot more sense.

I felt his chest rumble as a low growl tore from his throat pulling me closer to his chest. Two familiar scents spilled into the metaphorical bubble we were in. The smell of vanilla and rosemary being the most recognizable, my growls joined that of my mate. "Now is that any way to greet your cousin, Little Prince?" Felix's growls subsided as he turned my back to his chest his arm tight around my waist, "Hi, Jisungie."

"Changbin," I growled.

~~~~~~~~~~

Changbin's POV

I sighed as I stepped out from behind Jisung gripping his arm for dear life. Hyunjin's glare burned holes through me if looks could kill I'd be ten feet under, and my alpha would have lost a mate. "Hyunjin, I'm sorry I didn't mean to–" Hyunjin's glare burned hotter and brighter his eyes amber as he tightened his hand on the arm around his waist. "Save it. Traitor. I will never forgive you. Ever." He gritted. I let out a distressed whine as Lewis whimpered in my head.

Jisung growled louder than I'd ever heard him. I grabbed Sungie's wrist as he pressed his chest against my back.
"Breathe my love, I'm fine," I begged through our mate link. His arms were like steel as they circled my waist. "Fine, I'll let it go, but if I feel for one second that you're not safe here I won't hesitate." He responded kissing his mark, lightly.

"Alpha." I hissed aloud softly, so only he could hear.

"Now," Jisung started while resting his chin on my shoulder, "Shall we introduce ourselves?"

~~~~~~~~~~

----------

Jisung's POV

It was later that night that I snuck him into my room as I made sure his scent was hidden, so as not to leave behind any traces of his presence. Binnie was wearing a very short red tennis skirt with a tight black crop top that had 'Baby Girl' written on the front in red cursive letters. I had bought the ensemble shortly after I marked him, officially making him my Baby Girl.

"Our Baby Girl."

"Oh, shut up Han, stop being dramatic," Peter spoke up, his words dripping with sass. "How about you both shut up?" I scolded, leaning with my back against the door while I continued to stare at my omega's fat ass. At that moment, Changbin decided to bend over showing off the last part of the ensemble a nice black laced thong, my favorite part of the entire ensemble other than the bright red choker that sat snug around his neck, that read 'Jisung's Girl'. I had gotten it custom-made a couple years ago for my mate whomever they might be.

I walked up behind my baby grabbing his hips as I pressed myself into his juicy ass. He stood up leaning back into my chest. "You look ravishing, baby." Binnie turned around in my arms snaking his around my neck. I bent down to capture his plump lips in a heated kiss. "Jump, Baby Girl," I ordered pulling away as his legs wrapped around my waist.

~~~~~~~~~~

----------

Felix's POV

Two weeks later, and Jisung and I were sneaking out the back door of our house around midnight. I found it hilarious that our mates were cousins, when we confided in Junnie about this he had said that maybe it was destiny. I would have laughed at him if it wasn't for the fact that Quokka was a hybrid. Auntie Joong had been a vampire, though Ji had very limited knowledge of vampirism. Jisung had inherited his blue hair and squirrel-like features from his mother, and his ability to change his hair color when his vampire Han was present, the only indicator of that being his bright gold eyes. He had decided when we were about fourteen to start regularly getting blonde highlights. We both had inherited our family's naturally blue eyes, though ours were darker than theirs. His were a dark royal blue while mine were cobalt.

I never knew my father, he had died before I was born. I don't know what species he was I always assumed he was a wolf, Mother never told me otherwise and Uncle Channie was either too high or too drunk, sometimes both, to ever confirm my suspicions anyway, as a matter of fact, he was on another bender and had disappeared. All I know about him was that he was dead and I had inherited his sweet and bubbly personality because let's face it I definitely didn't get it from my mother, he was more of an aggressive grumpy cat, but he had the biggest soft spot for me and Jisung. I must've inherited my deep voice from my father's side of the family because no one on my mother's side had voices as deep as mine. I've never met anyone in my family on my dad's side either, guess they all died at sea too.

Though they were cousins, Hyunjin and Changbin couldn't be more different. Where Changbin was short and buff Hyunjin was tall and lean, slightly taller than me in fact, just the way I like it. Changbin was pretty, but not as pretty as my Princess, with black hair and green highlights. His eyes were a deep purple almost eggplant. Hyunjin on the other hand, was the prettiest person on the planet I had ever seen, and I've seen my family, he had dark green eyes that reminded me of the forests that surrounded the edges of our territory away from the beach. He and his cousin were both hybrids, Changbin was half witch whereas Jiniret was half fae, no wonder his beauty was so otherworldly. Hyunjin and Changbin apparently haven't been on speaking terms since we met two months ago.

I climbed up the trellis knocking on my mate's window after parting ways with Jisung. The window opened shortly after as my sweet omega leaned on the windowsill, his pretty green eyes glowing in the light of the moon. "Are you going to let me up Jiniret, or are you gonna let me fall?" His eyes widened as he leaned back away from the window.

~~~~~~~~~~

Chan's POV

I woke up face down on the floor of an unfamiliar room. Funnily enough, I felt nothing, no pain, no dizziness, no nausea, no symptoms of a hangover, whatsoever. Nothing.

"Get up."

"Get up."

"Get up!"

I felt weightless as arms settled around me pulling me to my feet before pushing me onto the couch I hadn't even noticed was in the room. A shadow hovered over me. My breath caught in my throat as I looked up staring straight into the golden eyes that I'd been missing the past decade. "Joongie?" Tears stung my eyes.

I lifted a hand to his cheek, warmth spreading through my fingers as I reached out for our link, only to feel empty. He was gone, and he always will be. Hongjoong leaned into my touch. I didn't understand how he was here or where we were, but I wasted no time bringing my omega to straddle my lap as I devoured his lips that still tasted of rose hips and raspberries. Feeling a sharp pain in my lip, I pulled back to look my love in the eyes. I growled in warning when Joong removed himself from my lap a sharp glare in his eyes as he hissed at me. My eyes shifted to red at the disrespect from my omega.

I stalked to my mate until I was close grabbing him up to whisper in his ear. "Behave," I rasped through a growl sliding my hands to grip his ass, "Daddy's Girl." His eyes were amber as he pushed away from me harshly. I growled again.

"Are you not ashamed of yourself?" He hissed. I looked him in the eye, "For what?"

Hongjoong scoffed as his amber eyes darkened, "For what? For what?!" He sped toward me, pinning me to the wall. "Are you seriously gonna ask me that?" He stepped back before landing a harsh slap to my cheek. "Have you no shame. Do you not get it?!" Joongie screeched. "For ten years, I have watched you spiral. I have listened to Jisung's cries for help, cause you were too busy killing yourself, out drinking and getting high every night while our son cried himself to sleep calling out for his mother despite knowing I would never be able to hold him ever again. Then when he was old enough, making sure he wouldn't lose your sorry ass too."

"Hongjoo–" I started nerves on end. He cut me off, "Shut up, you don't get to speak. You don't get to feel guilty. Did you forget, our son, our baby had to watch me die? Watch as those Mer bastards ripped my heart out. In front of my ten-year-old?" He screamed, continuing to shove me against the wall. "Sweet–" Hongjoong placed his hand on my chest, "Don't Sweet Baby me."

"Jisung's found his destined, as a matter of fact, so has Felix. They don't know the amount of danger they're in. Felix knows nothing of his heritage, and Jisungie has limited knowledge of his own abilities. So get your shit together, protect our child, his twin, and their mates. Beg your twin for forgiveness, and be the father and alpha you're meant to be, that you've always been."

"I miss you, Sweet Baby."

Hongjoong straddled me again, resting his forehead against mine. "I know Honey, but I'll be here. Promise. I must leave now. Wake up, it's time for you to go home, and get started. Move on." I cupped his face in my hands, pulling him into one last kiss.

"I love you, Daddy."

Chapter 13

Chan's POV

I stared at my reflection in the bathroom mirror, a towel wrapped around my waist, fiddling with the earring in my ear. Hongjoong's earring. My love, my Sweet Baby. My eyes watered as I remembered my dream. I could touch him, hold him, kiss him. Now all I could feel was the cold emptiness left by his passing. We were supposed to grow old together raising our son maybe give him a brother or sister, or two. We were supposed to celebrate our son finding his Destined and having children of his own. Together. But all that was ripped from me, from us.

The only people I knew who could understand remotely how I felt were my twin brother and his husband. My brother's husband may have been alive while my wife was dead, but we were all robbed of something, years spent with our lovers and our children. Leaving us to fumble in the world. Now I had to do right by my boy, by Jisung.

I had neglected my son, my son, for ten years.

God, I'm a fucking idiot, Joong was right I should be ashamed of myself. I looked up at my reflection again, taking in the dark circles and my paler-than-usual face. I growled as I raised a fist to my bathroom mirror, shattering it.

----------

I knocked gently on the door of my twin's office. It used to be mine back when I used to lead the Wolfgang before I went off the deep end. Not that I cared to have it back, Minho was doing a great job leading, despite the rumors and whispers about how as an omega my brother wasn't meant to rule, though our father chose him over any other alpha to take my place. "Come in!" He yelled. I opened the door quietly as I slipped inside taking a seat in front of him in the chair across from the desk.

"Channie?"

I opened my arms for my little brother. "How?...Why?...When did you get back? You had me worried sick, bastard." He scolded, punching me repeatedly, in the shoulder. "Ow, Rhino stop." I grabbed his wrists to keep him from punching me, "Could you stop attacking me, jeez, I'll tell you, my God."

I explained my dream to Lee Know leaving out certain details, of course,
an hour and a half later the door opened. "Mother. Uncle." Seonghwa greeted as he entered with Jisung, and his mate, Yugyeom. I avoided my son's eyes as I felt his eyes on my back. "Father," Jisung growled low in his throat, his voice almost as deep as Felix's. "Jisung! Enough."

Jisung's POV

We sat down together at an empty booth in the back corner of SKZ Del Luna. I rested a hand on Changbin's thigh, who was to my left. Felix and Hyunjin were cuddled up together on my right side, they slid apart as soon as my father returned with our food. Daddy sat an Iced Americano and a slice of cheesecake, my usual, before me as he sat across the booth from us. This is the first time in ten years I've seen my father completely sober when he wasn't about to go on another bender.

"Daddy,–" My father raised a hand to stop me. "Before you say anything, son, let me just say this. I'm so so sorry. I neglected you for so long, and I'm sorry to you, to Felix. Both of you needed a father in your life, you needed me, I abandoned you both, and for that I'm sorry. I let my feelings, my guilt, get in the way of my duties as a man, as an alpha, a leader, and especially as a father. I hope eventually you can forgive me." He finished with a sigh, his trained on the table between us. This has to be a joke, a cruel cruel joke. I must be dreaming. "Bab– Jisung." Bin nudged me squeezing my hand to snap me out of my thoughts. My eyes widened as his words registered. "There's no need to hide from me, I already know."

"How?" Felix spoke up this time.

Daddy looked up, his blue eyes twinkling with unshed tears, "Let's just say I had a very unexpected wake-up call, a couple weeks ago." I know I should be angry at my father, but I wanted to forgive him, I was going to. 

All I had ever wanted was to have my father back and present in my life, not drunk and strung out every night. "From who?" I asked my father.

His lips stretched into a sad smile before his tears fell.

"Your mother."

I swallowed, attempting to remove the lump in my throat. "What did he say?" I asked hesitantly. "He told me to protect you, all of you. I don't know what's coming all I know is that whatever it is it's going to be bad." Daddy winked at me. It was a signal. We were gonna finish this conversation later, in detail.

The longer we kept him oblivious, the safer he will be.

Changbin's POV

Jisung and I were sitting in the basement studio in his house. I picked up a picture of my alpha, a wide smile on his face, Ji looked about three years old. He sat on the lap of a blue-haired man as his father stood behind them, eyes bright with a smile. Papa Chan's hair was blonde in the picture instead of blue. "Who–" Jisung cut me off, arms tight around my waist, resting his chin on my shoulder, "My mother." No wonder he was so pretty.

I placed the picture back where I found it after Papa Chan entered the room and sat across from us. "So, you're Mingi's kid?" I sucked in a breath.

"You knew my dad?" I asked shocked and slightly confused. Jisung gripped me tight as I shifted on his lap. "Stop moving, Baby Girl." He hissed in my ear. I stilled in my seat before, thankfully, Papa Chan decided to speak again.

"We went to high school together."

----------

Twenty minutes later I found myself bent over the arm of the couch moaning, loudly, with my alpha tongue deep in my pussy as I sat on his face suffocating him between my thighs. "Papi! Alpha, please. Please, please I can't– I can't take anymore. Please." I moaned, practically screaming at this point. Thank God the studio was completely soundproof, especially for us considering I tend to get loud. Then again, I've always been a loud and vocal person even outside of the bedroom.

Jisung dug his nails into my thigh deep enough to draw blood, before biting into my left one, feeding in the process. I moaned again from the pain, this time from his fangs, blood dripping down my thigh. "God. You taste so good, Baby." He said as he released me, licking my blood from his lips. "I need more." He continued to chew at my thighs, "Be a good girl and let Papi finish his meal." Jisung slid his tongue between my legs again, leaving wet kisses there. "Moan for me, Baby Girl." I could feel his lips against my pussy as he spoke.

"I want to hear you scream."

Felix's POV

Spending time with the brothers started a little rocky. But there was something there, a connection that I couldn't explain. Despite my apprehension, they never felt like strangers, not really, though I knew that they were. Yeonjun was the first to approach me after our first meeting. About a month after we met he changed, and he started calling me Sunshine more often. I don't know when I started to treat the brothers as, or even consider them, my own. Maybe after Seonghwa offered up swimming lessons,  maybe before. My lessons were going well, as soon as my body hit the water everything fell into place, everything felt right. I never understood why I felt so drawn to the ocean, or water and swimming in general.

I was sitting on the beach watching as my self-proclaimed brothers swam to their hearts' content as their colorful tails splashed chaotically. I wish I could join them but Seonghwa said it was dangerous to swim in the ocean, for me anyway.

"Hey, Sunshine. Why so glum, chum?" Mark asked as he plopped down next to me where I sat on a beach towel. He wrapped an arm around my shoulders as I tucked myself into his side resting my head in the crook of his neck.

It felt safe there, natural like it should have always been this way. I began to scent him as I cuddled closer to his soothing scent of sea salt. "I wish I could join you guys." Mark tightened his arm around my shoulders, "Soon baby brother, soon." I looked up at the closest I had to a brother. Other than Jisung, of course. "How soon is soon?" He sighed before pulling me into his side further, "Soon enough."

----------

My thighs burned as I danced my heart out in Mama's studio, which was right above Ji's. A knock at the door broke my concentration, "It's open." I yelled. The door opened seconds later. "I figured we'd find you here." Jisung chuckled. I watched him enter with his father, his mate, Bin, Seonghwa, Yugyeom, and Yeonjun through one of the mirrors that made up the back wall of the dance studio.

Uncle Channie tossed me my water bottle covered in a myriad of sea creatures from crabs to starfish, "Catch." I caught it with my left hand, lifting it to my lips. I turned to continue practicing when I felt a sharp pain in my stomach. Heat and pain coursed through my body as my legs gave out and I collapsed. "Pixie?" I tried to stand but collapsed again right into my cousin and uncle's arms.

"Felix!"

"Bin, come here, stay with him." Jisung looked at me the fear in his eyes palpable. "I'll be back soon, I'm gonna go get your mother, ok?" I nodded. "What do we do now?" Binnie asked.

"Water."

"He needs water and he needs it now," Seonghwa ordered.

Breathe, Darling. 

Who are you? I asked.

We're family, Dearest. 

Family?

I'm your Uncle San, Uncle Yeosang is here too, he's your father's brother. I wish your father was here for this, but alas we must handle your transition ourselves. Yeosang will guide your mother as I guide you. We have to do this quickly for your safety. Salt is Life. The ocean is our Mother. We must get you to the sea as soon as possible. 

But it's too dangerous. I protested.

I know, Sweet Nephew, but it is a must. Your transition to adulthood has been put off for far too long, and we need all the magic and help from Mother Ocean we can get.

"Felix? Baby, open your eyes, Sweetheart."

"Mama?" I hissed through my teeth. "I'm here, my boy, Mama's here."

"It hurts, Mama," I whined.

"I know, Baby."

Felix.

Uncle San?

I'm here, Darling. This is gonna hurt worse than it should only because you were suppressing your abilities five years longer than you were supposed to.

How old was I supposed to be? I asked, curiously.

Fifteen. Your abilities would have started manifesting at the age of ten and then fully transitioned at fifteen. As a hybrid, this would have been much harder then as it is now.

Why?

You would have had to go through two extremely painful transitions at once. Thankfully it's only one. Your gifts should have begun to manifest already as soon as you're fully transitioned into adulthood the manifestation shall be complete.

What's your gift?

Telepathy, Sweet Nephew. Your Uncle Yeosang has the ability to see and feel when others are ready to transition, no matter whether they are transitioning to adulthood, parenthood, or even the afterlife. Your father had the gift of sight, may he rest peacefully in the arms of our Ocean Mother.

Now, Darling, your mother is going to take your necklace off and you're going to submerge yourself beneath the waves. Mother Ocean will guide you from there. Until we meet again my Darling. Merry meet, merry part, and merry meet again. Remember, I love you.

The necklace.

Of course, it all makes sense now, why I always felt at ease on the beach, why I was always drawn to the ocean, all of it. I was always told it was a gift from my father, I had just assumed it was a random shell he found on the beach, not that he had passed it down to me as an heirloom. I was half merman, and Mama never told me. 

Why didn't he tell me?

As I submerged beneath the waves, I felt stronger than I've ever been, and tingles all over my body as my legs fused together.

Don't panic, Sweet Child, embrace me.

I took a deep breath, water flowing through me, looking down I found in place of my legs a gorgeous blue tail that matched my cobalt blue eyes with silver accents. My blonde hair had also turned silver.

Bless you, Sweet Child. Welcome to the world, Lee Felix Yongbok. Raise your head, and join your family, Sweet Prince.

I broke the surface, soon after. Everyone stood on the beach. Mama gasped covering his face with his hands, tears in his eyes.

"Mama?"

"You look just like him."

"Who, Mama?" I asked.

"Your father."
