Hoetaek and Sungyeol were able to relax now as things seemed to finally die down. Sungjong hadn't fully converted to hunting animals yet, but he was trying and that was a bonus in Chani's book. After a few days of keeping an eye on Changgu, Moonbin and Eunwoo left, with the promise of coming for a visit again soon after giving the okay that Changgu was no longer in any danger. Jaemin took Hoetaek's job for the time being, since Hoetaek wasn't ready to return to Toronto just yet. Hoetaek, Yanan and Changgu still had to give their final verdict on Hongseok, Hyojung and Kino so they were carefully putting everything together to prepare for it.

Sungyeol and Hoetaek were currently out hunting, the latter just tagging along to spend time with Sungyeol, even if it was spent in wolf form. "You know," said Sungyeol after he got his kill and drained the deer of blood. "I'm in one of those weird moods," he said, turning to Hoetaek. "Like I want to do more than just hunt animals but," he said, shrugging before going to bury the deer. "I think it's always going to be there," he said. "The need to hunt humans anyway," he added. Hoetaek snorts.

"Yeah yeah, I know," Sungyeol said with a soft chuckle. "I'm not going to hunt humans, if I was Yuto wouldn't be alive," he said, getting up after he was done burying the deer. They both turned when Myungsoo and Chani showed up. "What's up Chani?" Asked Sungyeol. "I think Yanan and Changgu are ready," said Chani. "Yanan sent us to get you two so," he said, shrugging. "And don't worry, Sungjong went to get Yuto and Jaemin," he said. "Well," said Sungyeol as he made eye contact with Hoetaek. "Ready?" He asked. Hoetaek nodded. "Let's go then, have fun hunting," Sungyeol said to Chani and Myungsoo before running off with Hoetaek following after him.

"Those two have become quite close," said Myungsoo. "I don't even want to know how they will handle things when Hoetaek finds his mate," he said. "Well, let's just hope that Sungyeol is willing to share by that point," Chani said with a snicker, causing Myungsoo to chuckle. "Let's go hunt then," said Myungsoo before he ran off. Chani shook his head and soon followed after Myungsoo.

When they got back to the house Yanan was sitting outside with Changgu on the porch swing, with Hongseok, Kino and Hyojung leaning against the porch railing. Sungyeol walked over with Hoetaek coming over a few minutes later after changing and putting his clothes on. "We have a lot to discuss it seems," said Sungyeol as he leaned against the wall of the house. "It would seem so," agreed Yanan as he turned to Changgu who nodded. Hoetaek hummed, going to stand beside Sungyeol.

"Well, tell us everything from the point Yanan left you guys," said Hoetaek. "I wasn't even planning on leaving them," said Kino as he shrugged. "I really thought Wooseok would snap out of it but it didn't seem that way when he got his hands on that new drug," he said. "I don't even know how he got his hands on it but he used it on Changgu and then used him as a punching bag essentially," he said. "It was always when I wasn't around," said Hyojung. "Threatened to use it on us if we ever left before the confrontation with you," he said.

"What had caused him to snap?" Asked Sungyeol. "It wasn't even Hui," said Hongseok. "I think it was just his lust for power," he said. "I kept them in line, and as soon as I left he saw me as a threat," said Hoetaek as he tilted his head to the side. "Yeah," said Kino. "Somehow Shinwon and Jinho were dragged into this mess and well," he said, shrugging. "I think he threatened them," said Hyojung. "Those two weren't really the type to follow someone so willingly, especially since the next person in line as alpha would've been Jinho," he said. "Right, he was the oldest," said Hoetaek as he hummed.

"Well," said Sungyeol as he pushed away from the wall. "I know that won't be the last we'll see of them," he said. "But I think for now we'll be left alone," he said. "Maybe next time Wooseok will think a plan through this time," Hongseok said with a snicker, earning chuckles from everyone.

"Well," said Hoetaek as he glanced between himself, Sungyeol, Yanan and Changgu. "I think the final decision is this," he said. "We've done a lot of talking between the times where we see all three of you at once," he said. "It is up to you to stay or not," he said. "Granted you'll all have to share one room but," he said, shrugging.

"What came to this decision?" Asked Hongseok as he looked surprised. "This is why Wooseok would never be the right person to be an alpha," said Hoetaek. "From the times I've seen packs form and grow I've learned one thing," he said. "Everyone always has a choice to stay or leave," he said. "And Chani has left this decision completely up to us," he added. "So I'm doing what he would've done," he said.

"Vampires don't tend to form large covens," said Sungyeol. "People join and leave all the time, we're not very sociable when it comes to interacting with those of our kind," he said. "We've only stayed with Chani for so long because he has proven on more than one occasion that he has what it takes to keep us in line," he said. "While also leaving it hanging in the air that if we chose to leave he wouldn't protest," he said.

"Well," said Kino as he turned to Hongseok and Hyojung. "I think I'm staying," he said. "Same," said Hongseok. Hyojung nodded. "Yuto's going to be mad," Yanan said with a snicker. "He'll get exiled back to Sungyeol's room again," he said, causing everyone to chuckle. "I already told him that if he wanted to, to just ask Jaemin to sleep in his and Chani's room," said Sungyeol. "Well, it looks like we'll need to change up the room again," he said. "How does bunk beds sound?" He asked. "I think we could make it work," said Hoetaek as he chuckled some.

That night brought a sense of excitement from everyone, as the sleeping arrangements were made until they could make the trip to the city to get some bunk beds. Yuto had protested loudly about getting exiled out of his own room again but Jaemin just shut him up with a slap on the shoulder and dragged him into his and Chani's room. It wasn't like he had other places to sleep, Yuto was just quite comfortable in his own bed. Without having to share it with anyone.

Sungyeol was lying in his own bed with Hoetaek lying across his chest that night, the both of them on their phones browsing the internet for a bit. "You can't be comfortable whatsoever," Sungyeol said suddenly. Hoetaek snorts. "I'm fine, don't worry about that," he said. "I'm just glad we can finally relax without any problems," he said. Sungyeol hummed in response as he nodded.

"We'll go to that spot in the spring time right?" Hoetaek asked suddenly. "Definitely," said Sungyeol. "And we'll bring Changgu," he added. Hoetaek huffs out a soft laugh. "I know he'll like that place," he said. "I'm just glad he's doing better now," he said. "Yeah, me too," said Sungyeol.
