Chapter 15

A Gisaeng's Heart

A/N: So I start college again next week and had to buy my books for classes today...I hate that nursing books are so expensive. :( There are 4 more chapters left in this story, so I think I'll do a last week of summer vacation bonus for you readers and will update one chapter each day. With that, enjoy and let me know what you think!

 

Most of the shifters left the house as soon as Donghae was enclosed in the room with Kyuhyun since most of them were unmated, and the overpowering scents that the two shifters were producing making some nauseous. No one knew exactly how a bonding scent of two shifters could make some nauseous while others were affected in other ways.

Hyukjae and Leeteuk were already in the throes of their own lust, having snuck out of the main room to another side room. Hyukjae would later remember that no one had been surprised when Leeteuk had practically attached himself to the alpha, a tender spot on his neck as the younger male lifted the older one easily and stumbled off into a different part of the house, both affected by the other male’s scents.

The feline shifters weren’t lucky either. Ji Yong and Yujin had practically stared at each other until Yujin surprised him by jumping in his lap and tracing light fingers around the outline of his mouth. They stayed that way, both more in control of their animal sides than Hyukjae and Leeteuk had been.

Zhou Mi had suddenly been overwhelmed with nausea, causing Daesung to rush him out of the house to avoid the scents. Daesung had never seen the older shifter become sick in the short time he’d been a guest there, and the sudden nausea had him worried.

“You’re ok.” Daesung crooned to Zhou Mi, rubbing his back as the other male dry heaved, having thrown up most of what he’d eaten already that day.

Zhou Mi shook his head, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. No matter who it was or how many times Zhou Mi was exposed to the scent of two mates bonding, he would get sick. He wondered if he would be like this with his own bonding with his mate, wherever that person was.

With the sudden change in plans, Kangin decided to send one of his runners off to the gisaeng house to assess any changes in their situation. Krystal had sent word the day after Donghae’s wedding that a new girl had arrived from the coast, claiming that House Master Howie had bought her through an independent contractor.

Howie, known for keeping his records neat and clean, had a transaction for which he was fuzzy on how it had come about. It was for a hefty sum too, which further confused the man, which didn’t settle well with Kangin.

Add the whole mess of the sudden mating that Kyuhyun and Donghae were, presumably, in the middle of, and Kangin would have sworn that there was a magical force playing a hand in the events that were keeping him on his toes.

Once Hyukjae and Leeteuk were done satisfying their own lust, Kangin smiled, amused as Hyukjae realized that the fact he and Leeteuk were mates was not lost on the other alpha. He pulled Hyukjae aside, ignoring the embarrassment the younger alpha was radiating. “So, it’s obvious that Kyuhyun was not informed of everything that comes with being an alpha.” Kangin hated this, hated the part that made him a Pack alpha.

Hyukjae nodded, his mind clear from the lust and ual frustrations of other shifters. “I agree.” He said, frowning. “I think Kyuhyun was going to say something to us before Donghae walked in and chaos erupted.” He said. “Do you think he realizes he’s not ready for being an alpha of a pack?”

Kangin nodded, eyes thoughtful as he pursed his lips. “I don’t like how events keep happening like this.” He said. “I don’t like having to be the bad alpha and demand Kyuhyun give up his pack to us, but from the lack of training and finding his mate, I hope Kyuhyun will be smart enough to let go.”

Hyukjae knew what Kangin was talking about. Having to play the bad guy in his own pack far more often than he wanted, Hyukjae didn’t envy the older alpha as Kangin would probably be the one to have to talk Kyuhyun into giving up his alpha status.

Several hours later, Kyuhyun emerged from the room, straightening his hanbok as much as he could considering it had lay in a heap in the room and was made of a soft material that wrinkled easily. Donghae emerged after the alpha, his own hanbok wrinkled from the time on the floor.

Donghae would have a lot to learn about his new mate, not including the fact that he had a lot of pack codes to memorize as well. The scents in the house had died down considerably, making it more comfortable for the other shifters to start gathering again to resume their meeting.

The first thing on Kyuhyun’s mind, Donghae nestled firmly next to him after everyone had returned, was that he was going to announce his intention to dissolve his Pack back to the other two. “Before we start, I want to…I want to apologize.” Kyuhyun said, eyes downcast in front of the other leaders. “I was not trained voluntarily by Kibum to be a Pack leader, and with the unexpected finding of my mate, I,” Kyuhyun cleared his throat, knowing some of his Pack would not be happy with his decision. “I wish to dissolve my pack.”

Kangin grunted, surprised. Hyukjae had been right after all. He was glad he wouldn’t have to play the bad guy here. Kangin looked at Hyukjae and nodded in agreement with the other alpha. They both stood, moving to stand in front of Kyuhyun as the other male fell to his knees. It was only right he showed submission to the other two Pack leaders. “We accept your decision, Cho Kyuhyun.” Kangin said, his wolf’s presence was heard in his voice.

Hyukjae took a breath. “We formally dissolve Pack Cho.” He said, hating how formal the whole ritual was. “Once this meeting is over, you will inform all of your pack mates to meet us at the conclave house to determine who goes into Pack Lee and Pack Kim.”

Kyuhyun nodded. “I accept your dominance over me and my pack mates.”

Kangin nodded in acceptance. Kyuhyun lay down on the floor, his act of submission bringing tears to Leeteuk’s eyes. The second had never imagined that Kyuhyun would do such an act, but he was grateful it had been done. Hyukjae accepted the former alpha’s submission to him, trailing a finger down his throat before Kangin did the same.

Donghae watched with wide eyes, seeing a new side to the shifters. He really had a lot to learn about how the Packs operated as he watched Kangin and Hyukjae both helping Kyuhyun up from his submissive position, both murmuring what a good wolf the younger man was before tucking him back into his spot next to Donghae, smiling as Kyuhyun snuggled into the warm comfort of his mate.
