Jaemin sighed looking around the house for almost an hour to find his mate who's apparently in his cat form.

He passes by the couch in the living room and heard some rustling before a meow echoed. He finally grins.

He crouches down and sees a familiar white cat biting and playing with a ball of blue yarn under the couch as his eyes were dilated.

Jaemin clicked his tongue knowing very well calling and sweet talking his mate to come out wouldn't do much as the cat seems to have sniffed some cat nip beforehand.

He stands back up before walking to the side of the couch and lifts the object up in the air, he holds it up as he looks at the cat who froze.

"Jeno, kitten, come here," he said before the cat meowed and didn't budge until the ball of yarn had escaped his grip.

The hybrid runs after it as his toy rolled over towards the leg of the table and claws at it again in his paws as if he's going to fight it.

The alpha sighed heavily before placing the couch back on the ground and rolled his shoulders back, he approached his mate who was too busy playing.

"Jeno," he called and picked the cat up who lets out a shriek as he almost scratched the werewolf's face. "Turn back, baby," the alpha mumbled.

The cat meowed before nuzzling his head under Jaemin's chin while the latter carries him back upstairs to his room.

Once they head inside, Jeno hops off of his mate's arms and walks inside the bathroom before going back in the bedroom in his human form this time.

The hybrid looked flushed and made an excuse when Jaemin asked if he's okay, "it's just too hot," he mumbled.

The alpha furrowed his eyebrows, the air conditioner is definitely turned on and Jeno is wearing a white tank top paired with black booty shorts showing off his curves and beautiful body.

Jeno lets out a whine making Jaemin blink a few times, he then goes to his closet and grabs some pajamas to wear. "I'll be right back, darling," he said before heading to the bathroom.

A few minutes passes by and Jaemin heads back in the bedroom wearing his fresh pajamas and lays besides Jeno who was whining and waiting for him.

"You took too long!" The hybrid pouted clinging onto his side laying his head on his chest.

Jaemin hummed and wraps his arms around the blond pecking his head, "sorry, I had to do a phonecall," he murmured and caressed the boy's tail.

After a few minutes, he heard snoring and the tail went limp as it just draped over his forearm.

Jaemin pinched the bridge of his nose when Jeno, who's in cat form, jumped off of his arms and ran away back inside the house just as they stepped foot outside.

"Jeno Lee, come back here!" He yelled and chases after the white cat who screeched and runs away.

Jeno somehow found a little place where only small things could possibly get through. Jaemin having big hands and not to mention have a lot of muscles, couldn't go through.

"Darnit!" Jaemin huffed and sits on the floor watching Jeno's tail swaying gracefully on the floor. A dumb idea came up to his mind as he pursed his lips, "sorry, babe."

He said last before grabbing the cat's tail and dragging him out of his hiding spot ignoring Jeno's scream.

Jaemin wrapped his arms around the feline and hugs him tight on his chest as he lets out his pheromones, "calm down, kitten, alpha's got you."

Jeno calms down at the smell of his alpha's scent as he instead snuggles into his chest purring softly. "Finally," Jaemin said before heading back outside and gets them both in his car.

"So you're telling me, Jeno has been acting very odd lately and has been in his cat form for most of the time. Having weird mood swings and being even more clingy and whiny?" Renjun asked.

Jaemin nodded sipping his cup of tea as he listened to the fox hybrid's words and his ears out seeking for advises.

Jeno was with Haechan, playing in his and Renjun's room, surprise-surprise he's in his cat form once again.

The Chinese pursed his lips, "what else has he said? Like anything weird at all?" He asked.

Jaemin hummed and thought back to when Jeno complained it was too hot even though the air conditioner was on.

"He did say it was hot, but the ac was on and he was showing too much skin for other people. Luckily, it was me," he informed with a tone.

Renjun rolled his eyes at his werewolf friend's possessiveness towards his fellow hybrid. He clicked his tongue and places down his cup on the table.

"Jaemin, have you ever thought of breeding Jeno?" He asked out of the blue making the alpha appalled by his question.

"Of course I did, why?" Jaemin answered truthfully.

Renjun scratches his own tail and his ears were twitching at the sound of giggling from upstairs, "do you like, want to?"

Jaemin raised a brow, "well duh, we're mates after all. But what does this have to do-" he emphasized before getting interrupted.

"Jaemin," Renjun sighed and looked at him with his pupils slit making him look intimidating. "Jeno's heat is coming up," he deadpanned.

Oh of fucking course, Jaemin thought. What else could it be? Jeno had gave many signs and was really bad at hiding it, maybe he's just too oblivious.

"Jeno gets really childish and all when his heat is near, it only multiplies when he is on his heat." Renjun said.

"He has a lot of needs, his cat instincts will take over and he just needs to be manhandled properly," he continued.

Jaemin was wide eyed listening to the fox hybrid who was telling him obvious and common advises like he's the dumbest alpha he has met, or maybe he is.

"Then what exactly should I do?" The alpha mumbled, "I don't want to make it worse or ruin it. He's fragile, right? I don't want to hurt him." He said

Renjun softens just a bit as he crossed his arms and leans back, "well you guys mated, obviously. By the way, Chenle owes me five bucks for that."

Jaemin scoffed as Renjun snorted, "relax," he waved off and took his cup. "Honestly, I can't give you an advise for this one Jaem." He shrugged.

He walks to the kitchen with Jaemin following behind, "I'm not Jeno, so I don't know what he wants or what he needs. And I'm certainly not his mate. So I don't know if you should fuck the pain away or do the soft option."

He turns on the faucet as the sound of footsteps and the ankle bracelet bell jingling echoed in the house, "But my only advise for you is that, you should take care of him. You're his mate, act like one."

And Jaemin kept those words to his heart and mind before taking the running cat in his arms letting the feline purr at his touch.
