Chanyeol's POV Three Hours later
Chanyeol follows Sehun through the wrought iron gates of the place they call home but many call the golden encampment! The extreme stress and roaring fury of the last few hours is very much still simmering in his veins. His hackles raised as he spots a larger number of his trained warriors reinforcing and patrolling the encampment walls. He stands beside Sehun still in their wolf forms watching a number of their combined men helping to move in more wood to support the 20 foot high stone walls. Heat and embers fly through the air from the make shift smithies, those that can have learned to bend silver without it killing them are busy making more swords, and arrows tips.

His hackles lessen Chanyeol knows this is his father's orders Blanca and her mutts must have gotten to close to the gates. He can sense from his shared link with his pack that there is heightened tension in the air, mixed in with excitement over the wolves and cloaked new arrival received by the highest ranking wolf at the time. The tension he understands yet hates it has been some time since any type of foul play has been so close to the gates!

Chanyeol fully supports the decision to have more men on patrol and have the walls reinforced. Especially now his mate will be residing behind these very walls. He sends a mental command to the blacksmiths, they will need more silver swords and arrows. A silver arrow will slow down a wolf, a silver sword is what's needed to kill any alpha or beta! If you aim right you can behead an opponent with one strike, it's the only true way to kill a wolf who can self heal. Chanyeol knows he is stronger in his wolf form, but he is equally deadly wielding his long silver sword. A sword he vows will be thrusted through Yukio's neck one day!

He too will assist in the protection of these walls, he sends a mental command to those who are not on duty to be ready for training at first light. He also makes a mental command to increase the hunting parties for fresh meat and plant more seeds for the grain needed for bread. They have animals and food stores available but these are not infinite, and if he was trying to force out an enemy the store houses would be the first target. Something he will have to consider Yukio might try himself!

Shame and renewed fury courses through him, never in his long life has any guilty wolf he hunted evaded capture. In fact Yukio's cloying scent of death and bloody tracks just vanished into thin air the moment he and Sehun made it to the river side! The pure rage coursing through him when he realised that sly sneaky bastard must of jumped into the water! He just wanted to howl into the night, he couldn't fully describe how he felt knowing Yukio skip through his grasp. No one who tried to claim his mate should get away with their lives in his eyes. Chanyeol knew immediately where Yukio was headed, back to his own pack and encampment.

He wanted to continue in pursuit, it was Sehun that bravely stood in his path and urged him to return home. Once that red mist had cleared, he had headed Sehun's words, they both knew  they couldn't drag Yukio out of his home. For one they would of been severely outnumbered, even if Chanyeol had succumbed to his more animalistic raw need to protect his mate. To drag Yukio away as much as he deserved it would of been a challenge they would not of won in a place not their territory. Even if Yukio deserves to have his head on a platter to drag him out would not of gone down well with the elders.

Chanyeol is positive there is an elder who is either sympathetic, or is being bribed. Every sanction he has tried to impose for the good of all the clans has been denied. He was quick to remember they still have not found the spy in their mist, making them both desperate to get back to their mates, vowing to bring justice to both Yukio and whichever elder is allowing Yukio to act with out reproach.

Even now Chanyeol can feel his delicate mates pain coursing through their mate link, he so wishes he could take it away. His heart clenches for all the power he has as supreme alpha, he hates that he can not heal this truly agonising pain. His saliva can heal wounds and mend broken bones, but it can not heal this kind of pain. He may not be an omega or know much about healing and medicine but the amount of pain he can feel through their link mixed with how quickly Baekhyun's heat arrived does have him a little worried.

Inhaling deep he can smell the heady musky vanilla and cinnamon smell of Baekhyun's heat, it really does make him shudder in pleasure. Despite his desperate need to mate his beloved star, he knows from the way their link is not active that Baekhyun is in too much pain to feel his soothing presence. Chanyeol just prays to the moon gods that Jongdae and the midwife are able to help his precious star, or at least make him more comfortable. Instinctively he turns his head it's as if by magic he can sense exactly where his precious star is, but he is surprised it's not the healing house but the Romanesque style villa he shares with his father. Chanyeol hopes Baekhyun is using the area he suggested for his nest, it's near the orchard and away from the noisy courtyard. The normal busy passageway that leads to the villa is empty of any clan member, very few of the torches are lit to, not that he is surprised. His pack is well trained and currently on high alert with the recent attacks having every torch lit will distract attention. Instant relief fills him when he sees a number of familiar people standing outside the villa his father included.

Paying no head to his nakedness Chanyeol wills himself back into his human form, he knows there will be a clothes pack close by. There are several packets of clothing throughout the encampment, it's apart of being part wolf, sometimes you need to morph quickly! There is always cheap unisex clothing inconspicuously places sporadically throughout the encampment. One he will use now as he pulls out a black cotton tunic from the base of a torch! He will make sure he replenishes the clothing as he senses Sehun morph beside his too, surprised the alpha hasn't run off to engulf his own mate already. Chanyeol spots Luhan beside his father looking like the regal head consort he is.

Chanyeol knows they have finally been spotted, when Luhan and his father turn towards them, he instantly waves away any kind of formality. Especially from Luhan and his father, they do not need to bow to him. Sehun instantly making a beeline for Luhan! Not so long ago he would of felt the deep pangs of jealously, now he happily smiles at the lovers sweet reunion. Standing beside the happy couple are Yixing and his father Park Daichi!

His father is one of the oldest of all the Moon gods children at nearly 4000 years old! Yet still doesn't look a day over forty! All wolves are blessed with youthful immortality Chanyeol himself included. Many of the clans have said the only thing that sets Chanyeol and Daichi apart is his father's streak of silver amongst his hair in human form. When they are both in wolf form, you can only tell the difference by the colour of their eyes! Chanyeol's a deep onyx that belonged to his mother, his father has much lighter coloured eyes almost that of steel blue, the colour of intelligence. The proud smile his father has now settles the shame in his heart over Yukio's escape from his clutches. That smile his father wears though holds something more then just a father being proud, Chanyeol's eyes widen when he realises his father has most likely met his mate without a formal introduction!

He so wished it was not this dire situation that Baekhyun has been introduced to his father, he had fully intended to walk in the gates with his precious star tiny hand carefully encased in his. Before both of them traditionally kneeling before his father, and laying their kills at his feet the ultimate mark of respect. Desperate to not offend the man who has had to be both a leader and a father. He rushes over to the slightly taller man and bows his head low.

My son you have nothing to be ashamed for, Yukio may of escapes your clutches right now, but I have faith in your prowess and conviction! Yukio will face not only your wrath but the judgement of the elders and the rest of the clans. Right now you have something more important to concentrate on, your mate is here and safe his heritage still remains a secret for now. You have chosen well my son, you precious mate is a true gift of the moon gods his beauty outshines that of your mother's and any other I have known all my life.

Mother would of adored Baekhyun, wouldn't she I miss her.

As do I my son, Selene is always with us just look to the stars and you will feel her presence. If she were alive she would of scolded you for not formally introducing us to your mate the traditional way. This introduction could not be helped, he is safe now as is our clan all you have to do my dear boy is listen to Jongdae and the midwife.

The sudden absence of his delicate mates pain cuts through their link, as does the silence of Baekhyun's thoughts. His wolf starts to growl in to his mind that there is something dire at stake here, he instantly turns from his father and the quite lovers reunion to find Yixing is staring at the entrance to the villa. Chanyeol understands why when the midwife opens the main door. She seems instantly spots him amongst the wolves keeping a respectable distance, as she makes her away over. Centuries old tradition have him bowing in her presence, his wolf wagging his tail that one the midwife will be attending to his mate for something more then relief.

"Your mate is finally resting Supreme Alpha, it took a while but we managed to help soothe his pain with your silk bed covering."

Chanyeol tilts his head, he and his wolf are both relieved that Baekhyun is finally able to rest whilst enduring his heat they both are over the moon that it's their pheromone soaked silk Baekhyun has calmed down with. He however knows from the midwife stance that there is more going on with his precious star.

"Midwife Helen, am I right to think this heat is not normal, my mate had no pre heat signs at all!"

"Each heat is different Alpha, this will teach you for being to busy running off with your toy sword to lean about omega traits when you were younger. Yes you are correct there is some form of pre heat, I do not have the experience of blue omegas heats i can not tell you what to expect next time. The lack of warning could simply be because he has been up close and perhaps a little to personal with you! Im not aa old as you think I am either, I was young once and know the temptation of the flesh Alpha did you take advantage of your mate."

"Midwife Helen I am know for my iron clad control, I promise you i did not take advantage. He is my soulmate, I promised him my mark and we may of kissed in the forest as we declared our love for each other under a crescent moon. I would never defile him!"

"There is your answer, Baekhyun's body simply reacted to your promise. Now before you get all excited and start planning a claiming ceremony, there are some things you should know. Your mate is small even by omega standards, his womb is very tender right now he is healthy I promise and he is fertile. I could smell the cinnamon that confirms his fertility before I met him! Supreme Alpha with how delicate and petite in nature your soon to be consort is, I would not expect him to have more then one litter and it will not be large, one pup, two at most! He will need ample time to recover too I know no one has told you, but you must know blue omegas can not self heal! I must tell you too there is a chance Baekhyun could die in childbirth, in fact he could die from the simplest of poison."

Chanyeol feels his eyes widen, a vison of his precious star cradling a tiny snow white haired wolf pup flashes before his eyes. As does a scene he would hope he never encounters, a nest bathed in blood, with his lifeless mate atop it! As quick as he sees those visons a strong grip on his shoulder appears a s calms his snarling wolf ! His wolf and his heart no his whole souls and very being both ache at the very thought he could loose Baekhyun he so wished he paid more attention to his studies as pup! It all makes sense now he never truly understood why blue omegas continued to die when so many clans tried to save those  of their own pack. They were fighting a loosing battle against the most cunning of evil, Chanyeol quickly closes his eyes, before lifting his head up towards the moon, it's already at waning gibbous and so so bright! It calms him, the blue moon will be here very soon first though as he ignores the whispers of the men beside him. He has already promised to love and cherish Baekhyun there will be no other. Now under the light of the moon he makes an altogether different promise, he will bide his time, but Yukio and all those of his clan who do not follow him will be obliterated!

With his promise made, Chanyeol lowers his head to find a stoic Yixing starting at him. He must convey everything Yixing wants to know as Chanyeol watches his shoulders sag in relief. Baekhyun is so very precious and he has already fallen so deeply for the petite blue haired male and beautiful white wolf.

"I promise you Yixing, I will never let any harm come to your son. He is not just my mate, he is my Luna, he is the bright star that will own my soul. Baekhyun will continue his heritage at his rightful place by my side as supreme consort!"

The nods he receives from Yixing and Sehun and the I'm so proud of you my son is confirmation enough that he will not be facing his quest for peace alone. Yukio can wait like Sehun and his father suggested, justice will be best served when least expected! First delicious and powerful arousal flares within, at the very thought he will finally getto do more then kiss his mate. He can't wait to have his precious star under him, looking up at him like he hung the moon as he trembles under his touch. In an instant it's like ice cold water is thrown over his soul as Sehun repeats a saying he once told the much younger lust mad alpha!

"Keep those pheromones and x rated thoughts in check you will not be going near him whilst he is a delicate condition! Your mate is under my protection whilst  you brother will be sleeping in the barracks!"

Chanyeol is not sure whats louder, his whine or the laughter of the men he stands with. Each of them oblivious to the lone figure atop the encampment walls watching them with clenches fists, slanted evil yellow eyes and his scent completely masked!

Hello my Lovelies,

I have a feeling I'm not going to be very popular that Yukio is alive and spying - I do kinda need him alive for a bit more and then I promise I will obliterate him 😈

I know my stories are always detail heavy, I so honestly try to space it out and not be over the top and yes this is a Chanyeol centric update there will be a lot of Chanbeak coming up

Let me know what you think, I live for all your beautiful comments

❤️❤️❤️❤️
