PG-13 Drabble?

    "Head Alpha, we have news." The brunet blurted out, hands fumblings with the blood tainted on the ends of his top. His feet were glued to the ground, head tilted down as the head alpha flexed his muscles upon getting out of bed. The alpha was a very handsome man, blessed with the gift of sculptured features and a body that many of the omegas, betas and even alphas lusted for. The leader ruffled his naturally blond hair with a growl, clearly unhappy with the sudden disturbance. 

    He led both of them out to the river where everyone remained quiet and had worked without saying a word to each other. They had found a few wolves unconscious and stuck between the rocks through the river. There were two of them and both had shifted back to their human forms. The sun was barely up but they could see how pretty both wolves were. One had brown hair, with scratches latched on his tan back whilst the other was pale and had hurt his right leg. The strangers were brought in for treatment, courtesy of the pack's doctor, Kyungsoo. Yixing helped to nurse them until their wounds were wrapped up neatly. The lost ones were put in an empty hut they built in case of emergencies to rest while Chanyeol stood on guard outside. 

---

     The head alpha kept himself busy worrying over the pack's safety and how to survive winter- things head alphas usually do. Everyone carried on with their work and hadn't bothered with the injured. No one was going to feed or protect them if they stopped working. Just before noon, two alphas and a beta went out to hunt for supplies with hopes that they'd get a feast today as well. The day went by quite quickly for many in the pack, including the leader who had locked himself inside his personal shed throughout brunch. 

    A knock was heard and the lad flinched in surprise, grunting as he strolled to unlock the door. The beta bowed in respect and let himself in, carrying some herbs and a cup of warm water for the alpha. They sat on a mat Baekhyun made after exploring Egypt a few years ago. The head alpha laid flat, eyes closed and hands folded on his chest. Minutes continued to pass with silence and soon the sound of the head alpha's heavy breathing filled the small space. Kyungsoo began his routine, starting from his head all the way down to his feet. As he reached the alpha's toes, he sighed in relief and a small moan fled through the latter's lips in satisfaction. The leader thanked his precious beta and smiled as he gave the boy a comforting pat on his shoulder. 

    The beta whimpered in response and lowered his head as a warm pink spread on his cheeks. It had always felt nice to get the alpha's attention, even if he was simply being thanked for his regular services. He continued by giving his daily report and left right after, leaving the alpha alone once again in his private place. The man fell ill a few weeks ago and was still recovering, very fast due to Kyungsoo's herbs. The beta was definitely talented and he could feel his body regaining his health. His alpha pheromones were also getting stronger. 

    Then sun had already buried itself when the one of the strangers were awoken by the smell of raw meat burning under the fire in the middle of the camp. The pale one woke up first and his nose was filled with the scent of food while his stomach roared in hunger. He noticed the change of interior however, realising that he was no longer around his pack-, well ex-pack. The lad shifted his legs, wincing as his wounds bled through the well wrapped leg. He cocked his head to his side and saw his friend sleeping and snoring through the cold. A pair of legs made themselves known through the bottom part of the entrance of the hut and the boy had no idea if they were foes or enemies. He decided to relax his muscles before limping to the door and hissing every once in a while. The guard, he assumed noticed his grunts entered seconds later, to find one of the wolves crouched on the cold ground, whimpering in pain. 

    , was what Chanyeol had thought as he saw the blood on the bed. He carried the boy swiftly, ignoring the hisses and scratches the latter had given him on their way to Yixing's hut. The head alpha just so happened to be outside to oversee today's kill. His brows twitched as the scent of foreign blood riled in his nose. He followed the drops of red trailing to Yixing's hut after checking on the other pack members.

    Yixing cursed under his breath when the stranger's blood fell through the used to be white rolls, reeking his recently cleaned up space. The Chinese lad grabbed his kit, unwilling to waste any time in case the head alpha decided to drop by and possibly nag him for forgetting to check on their wounds. The pale boy was forced to shove a pill down his throat. He hadn't known what it was but amidst his blurry vision and heavy breaths he'd heard pain, relief, eat. Yixing put the boy to sleep and focused on the wound while sweat began to form on his forehead as Chanyeol stood at his side, clearly panicking although he stood still as a statue, thankfully for the nurse. 

    The head alpha waited outside the hut for a good 10 minutes before walking into the scene. Yixing was almost done by then and only had to bandage the wound again for more pressure. Chanyeol stuttered his goodbye upon the alpha's entry and shuffled outside to continue guarding the other boy. Yixing greeted the head alpha and offered him a seat while the boy rested beside them. They went over the details and the man lifted the boy out of the nurse's hut once they were done. He brought the boy back to the hut and reminded Chanyeol to get some food and switch shifts with Zitao once they finished dinner. 

   The night flew by very quickly and the pack members were soon tucked in by their loved ones. The members assigned on guard for the night had been Zitao, Zen and Donghyun. The head alpha of course took one last time to inspect around the area before retreating back to his bed. 

    The rain drizzled through the night, making the alpha sad he hadn't found his mate yet. There were many to choose from but he decided to wait because maybe, just maybe, he'd imprint on someone. The head alpha had to breed of course, so he's got dear Kyungsoo in case the one does not come but honestly, he loved the boy too much as a brother to see him in a romantic way. Plus, the boy had a small liking towards Chanyeol and his idiocy. They haven't bonded but the alpha was sure it would happen once Kyungsoo reached his maturity. 

    The crickets rung through the cold breeze. The temperature had gone a little lower than usual that night and so the alpha was stirred awake by a collection of whimpers. Although it was faint, the head alpha worked on his ears. He could hear calls of help coming from the other side. The male slid his shirt on, carefully slipping out of his hut to find the source of the sound. He spotted Donghyun and Zen getting some water from the river and nodded at their greeting. 

    Meanwhile, Zitao took his time at the shed, trying to look for an extra blanket for the wounded. The night really was cold and the rain and wind hadn't been much help either. The tall man wondered where they'd came from since they weren't used to such weather. Everyone in the pack had already gotten immune to the temperature of the night. He'd left his stance after hearing the shivers from inside the hut and prayed they hadn't run away while he was gone. 

    The head alpha lurked around for a while to see if there were any suspicious movements then proceeded to locate the source of his wake up call. The lanky man's steps brought him inside the emergency hut, to find the pale stranger shivering next to his friend. He braced himself and stepped further in, glancing to see if his friend had been awake or not. Once he was a step away from the latter, he knelt down and touched the boy's bandaged wound. Oddly, the stranger hadn't noticed his presence yet, his mind was entirely focused on how cold the bloody weather was. The leader inched closer to the male and laid himself right next to the shivering boy. He sniffed the latter's neck; it was sweet and refreshing for the alpha then straddled the boy against his chest. 

     The lost wolf blinked himself awake upon the warm embrace and contemplated on screaming for help. He chose not to once the other's grip had relaxed and his hand had held the side of his face then went down to his shoulder, as if cooing him to sleep. The boy submitted to the alpha in return, he hadn't known who the man was but his pheromones certainly made him wonder if the lad was looking for a partner. 

    A small grin was clad on Zitao's face as he discovered the newest member in the hut. The pair were cuddled together lovingly while the other boy remained in his slumber. He put the extra blanket on them and carried on with his duties. 

---

      A few gasps filled the air as they realised the tan boy had won against sleep. It was rather early when he did and the first thing he'd done was thank Zitao for the extra blanket. They chatted like friends and Zitao rather liked this boy named Jongin. He was very informative and was deemed not an enemy by the Chinese male. Nevertheless, the pack had rules to follow and he stayed with Jongin outside the hut whilst the head alpha caught on with some sleep. 

     Jongin was surprised to see his friend wrapped around another's arms, especially ones he didn't recognise but thought perhaps something had happened while he was out. He snuck out quietly and had kicked Zitao's foot by accident. The lad was slumped on the floor, getting some rest now that the pack member's had started their day. He closed his eyes for a few minutes before getting kicked by a certain stranger. 

    Zitao hadn't held the boy down or threaten him, instead he patted the space next to him and encouraged the latter he was pretty harmless (in spite of the heavy eyes and knife stuck on him). The boy told him where they were from and convinced him they were merely passing by. He also asked about the male hogging his friend inside, making sure to be quiet enough so no one else could hear. The guard chuckled and said, "that's our head alpha" without much delay. Jongin choked once upon hearing his reply and nodded.

---

    The alpha let his vision reopen and grunted as the body beside him snuggled further to his chest. His brain needed a little while to process the fact that he'd gone into the traveler's hut during the night. He wondered if Zitao had seen him as well. The boy reeked of pheromones he hadn't smelled before, perhaps because he wasn't well acquainted with the latter when they found him. He sniffed the boy again. Sweet. The alpha released his hold and pushed himself away from the koala-like boy. He'd heard Zitao's voice talking to the other wounded lad he assumed from the empty space where his body used to reside. The man went out after tracing down the omega's features. A soft smile crept on his lips as he took in the pleasure of the boy's cheek. 

     The pale omega began to curl his fingers, his lips curved into a small smile as he tugged on the blanket. It felt warm and nice and he'd long forgottten about his hunger from before. 

---

     Weeks began to pass and the newest members of the pack had gained almost everyone's love. One of them, especially from the head alpha. Both Sehun and Jongin were quite the charmer and helped around with tasks according to their ranks. Jongin was a beta and often went along with the hunters when he was not on guard duty. Sehun on the other hand, helped the other omegas with work like planting crops and cooking. By the second month, the two strangers had officially become family.

    The head alpha hadn't bothered much with the newbies since it was his right hand alpha's job and was away due to meetings with the elders or other pack leaders. Sehun barely saw his figure or smelled his scent. At some point, he began moping over the man's disappearance. The pack was very kind to them and they'd made wonderful friends such as Chanyeol, Zitao and Baekhyun. Life went on as it was and the head alpha had been gone for almost a month yet no one questioned his whereabouts. The pretty omega looked forward for some good news every morning but every time the moon came up, he knew he was once again disappointed. Zitao pitied the boy, Jongin had him while Sehun had, no one. Of course he had the pack, but the faint memory of Zitao's mateless nights reminded him how lonely he'd felt before he found his partner. 

    There was a big chance that Sehun would have bonded with the head alpha if the latter hadn't tried so hard to avoid him. The head alpha knew the male was to be his and although he never told anyone, everyone could see from the way he'd growl whenever the betas or stare when the boy simply sat on the log in front of the fire, waiting for his share to be cooked. Everyone except for the alpha and omega themselves. Yixing had coughed the topic mates up before the alpha left and assured the man he'd take care of the omegas, actually, he said pack but he stressed on the omegas, or omega along the way. The alpha quirked a brow in return and told him alright. 

    Head alphas usually gathered once or twice every two months to three months to exchange information. The trip to their meeting spot itself would take roughly around two to three days. If they decide to rummage some areas, they'd be back by two weeks or so. They couldn't be gone for long; their packs still needed a leader. Sehun especially. The male didn't know why he was yearning to see the alpha. The mere thought of him makes the lad's heart swell with warmth. He'd missed the head alpha terribly. Other omegas had asked him if he had someone in mind for his mate, he shook his head no although he knew there was one man he couldn't get off his mind. 

    It took exactly 43 days for the head alpha's return. The omega wanted to leap into his arms once he recognised the leader's smell from a mile away. He wanted to be babied and cooed to sleep by the alpha, like the first night they met between the loving embrace in the hut. Jongin ran to his side with a smirk plastered on his face and rested a hand on Sehun's back. The boy smiled and retreated back to blend with the forming crowd behind them. As needy as he was, he understood his place and thought his feelings were probably one sided.

   The head alpha arrived with a howl, greeting his fellow friends who howled back in happiness. Everyone swarmed the lad, bombarding him with questions and hugs. Sehun slipped back into his hut, holding back his tears until he'd shut the door and made sure no one was nearby. The omega was so happy to see the alpha again. His knees trembled and his heartbeat sped up in a matter of seconds as he remembered the way their eyes had met before the latter drowned in the crowd. He let a few drops of tears trinkle down his cheeks and bit his lip to avoid crying out loud. His fingers rubbed together with anxiety as he released his emotions. 

    As soon as everyone had rejoiced in their alpha's return, they went on with their tasks, grateful that the cold did not catch him. The crowd dispersed and the man under the spotlight whisked himself inside his hut to check on his things. He decided to freshen up at the river after seeing a number of leaves and dirt stuck to his body. The omegas and betas whispered to each other as they watched the head alpha untangle himself on the rocks. The head alpha's body was more toned and the beautiful curve on his hips basically had everyone staring and drooling as well. Yixing laughed at the scene and shooed them away. The male called out to the alpha and mentioned how oblivious he could be sometimes. The blonde continued to clean himself as he spoke to the nurse. 

     "You should go see him you know, he's been waiting." 

    If it was someone else, the alpha would've snarled at him for the command but it was Yixing and the guy was his best friend so he opted not to say anything snarky in return. He shrugged and retorted he'd see him during the rounds later on. The alpha heard the other sigh in disappointment and chose to change the topic. 

    Dinner was a feast for everyone and a big celebration for the head alpha's return. They'd gotten two kills and wanted the pack to enjoy themselves with some extra alcohol. Normally, the pack's rules stated that alcohol was not to be consumed after ten and a maximum of fifteen to twenty bottles could be opened for each event. On that day however, the alpha was kind enough to pardon those rules if the pack promised to behave, and they did. The alpha was the center of attention as usual but his sight had only be focused on one person; Sehun. He sat in the middle of the group, nodding towards whatever Chanyeol was saying while preying on the omega sitting in a small group across his. The omega chuckled and blushed upon hearing the others' teasing and one particular line made the alpha smile to himself. 

     "Jongin no, I'm- I'm too shy!"

    Jongin told him to relay his greetings to the head alpha and had urged him to do it once the celebration ended. The boy ended up burying his face deep into his palms in embarassment as he stuttered his answer out. The rest in the group giggled and howled at the younger. They told him it was okay and that it was not embarassing at all. Every one of them has had a crush on the head alpha, even his best friend Yixing. Most importantly, the fact that the alpha indeed doted on the boy was already known by the whole pack. 

     Sehun lifted his head, cheeks and ears pink with heat. He stood up and excused himself to get some rest- more like bury himself in his hut until the next day rises. The head alpha continued to watch the boy's steps then released himself from Chanyeol's stories. The lanky male had given him a toothy smile as he apologised and s quickly wished him goodnight before dispersing. The head alpha went in front of the omega's hut and took in a whiff of his newest member's smell before knocking and intruding in. Sehun was curled on his bed, his thumb while he rocked himself to sleep. The head alpha felt a tug in his heart and rushed to the latter's side.

     "Jongin? I can't sleep," Sehun confessed then gasped after realising it was none other than the alpha, his favorite alpha who was kneeling beside him. The older's scent filled his nose and Sehun couldn't help but to bask in glory. He lunged forward, hands folded around the alpha back and a few whimpers escaped his lips as he buried his face into the alpha's shirt. 

    "Head alpha." 

     The male traced his fingers down to the omega's back, laying him flat on the bed as the boy sobbed into his chest. Unknowingly, he whispered soothing sounds into the latter's ears and had softly the shell of it as well. The omega shuddered in ecstasy which was music to the alpha's ears. After a while, the alpha pulled them apart to take in Sehun's beautiful face. It's been so long, his wolf growled. They reattached themselves together soon after and Sehun listened to the sound of the alpha's heartbeat whilst the other focused on the omega's breathing. 

     "I'm sorry," the alpha started, his breath quickening as Sehun's head inched closer to his neck. The latter only hummed in reply. 

     "I think we should start over Sehun."

     , why is he looking at me like that. Please don't.

     Sehun was still and frozen. His orbs latched themselves onto the alpha's and the alpha was completely entranced by his gaze. He reluctantly shifted his vision away to the moon, his current helper for the night. Taking in another deep breath, he continued,

     "Hi, my name is Luhan. I'm the head alpha and I'd like to court you."
