Baekhyun stirs awake at the soft whimpering he can hear, not just whimpering he can feel a slight dampness to his cheeks which forces him to open his eyes. It's when he realises the whimpering he heard just now has stopped, raising his hands he realises that his cheeks aren't just damp they are sodden! The noise, and the wetness on his cheeks can only mean he was crying, but why his mind is still foggy with remnants of very little sleep. Slowly he turns to the open pillared balcony of his room, it's not yet sunrise as he can still see the stars. It's looking at the pretty twinkling stars that it all rushes back forcing a gasp out if him. Now he knows why he had tears, he vividly remembers the dream that consumed not just his consciousness and heart but his wolf as well finally noticing how the wolf within him is pinning!

Baekhyun takes a much needed deep breath to calm down as he remembers the content of his dream, it all felt so real! He was with that magnificent midnight black wolf from the meadow, he remembers it all now! The black powerful wolf playfully pinning him to the ground of the meadow, gently nipping at his neck. Then he remembers running through the forest together, both in wolf form. Lots of intimate scenes, some that included both the black wolf and his own white wolf form licking at each other's muzzles. Before finally standing on soft powdered snow, where the black wolf rested his head protectively above his own. Now he knows why his checks were so wet, in his heart he wants that dream to be real. It's everything he has ever dreamed of having, yes he is cherished and maybe babied by his parents but he wants to be cherished by someone who finds him worthy of being a mate. Getting off his bed he grabs his shift and heads to his balcony he's desperate for air, looking around all remains quiet in the inner courtyard no one has risen yet and only the night torches remain lit.

Baekhyun relishes the calmness that invades his senses when he finally stands on his balcony. Even now when he notices the moon is lower in the sky then last night, the inky blackness of night is starting to swirl into the muted reds of pre dawn. It's why he raises his head to the moon about to make a prayer to the gods to reveal just who the black wolf is, when he picks up that familiar lemon and verbena scent belonging to his father. Turning he finds his father In human form, at the doorway to his room. A gentle smile on his face, and his golden red hair shining in the torch light. Baekhyun has always loved how his father waits for his permission to enter his room! Baekhyun is lucky as the only son of the high priest he gets to have his own room. He doesn't have to share the dorm where the other unmated omegas of the temple sleep, not that there are many.

There are only severn other unmated omegas, each one has dedicated their life to the service of the moon, future priests and priestesses in training. It was his mother that suggested all the omegas share the same room, and that room be in separate protected area away from the main temple. His own room is not far from the dorm it's just three doors down and belongs to the same courtyard. All the mated pairs and his own parents have rooms on the other side of the temple grounds. Baekhyun knows it's a mainly a precaution that all the omega rooms are separated, something to do with the end of the clan wars He knows should the temple ever face anything like the clan wars, it's always unmated omegas that seem to pay the price first! Sadly the moon gods made Omegas weaker then their alpha and beta kin. His mother always says being an omega is not a weakness, just that the moon gods have ordained different paths for them. That thought Baekhyun at times wonders if there is more to the reason he has his own rooms, even when completing his share of the chores he always seems to have a lighter amount to do.

My moon child, you know I can here you thinking even in my human form, you don't have lighter chores my child we just all know you have a preference. "Father I am fully capable of preparing the kills we are gifted!" Aware his father has not yet entered, Baekhyun nods to him to allow access and waits on the bench by his bronze mirror for his father. It doesn't take long as his father soon sits beside him, nor the chance to pat his knee. "Of course you are darling, you just do not hide well how much you hate the smell of raw meat!" "Father I can't help that I prefer it cooked," "Well you will be pleased to know that all the chickens and ducks have been feathered!" "Does that mean I don't have to help in the kitchen today?" "Only because your mother wishes for you to help with the preparation of the moon festival!" "Really?" "Yes moonchild however on the one condition, you don't rush off to the meadow come sundown, last night was the third time this week alone you have stayed out beyond your curfew!"

Baekhyun winces as he remembers how late he was out at the meadow and the rogue wolf that found him. Who was the main feature that haunted his dreams. he knows had his parents arrived any earlier they could of very well witnessed how he an unmated and unchaperoned Omega almost bared his neck to a stranger! It not unheard of to be claimed like that, but even he knows there is supposed to be a mating ceremony before a claiming bite is given or so he has read. Not to mention it would greatly displease his parents to not of approved their match. It doesn't bare thinking about, because as strong as his parents are in wolf form they would be no match for an Alpha wolf who had been denied a true mate once a neck has been bared to him. Especially the strength of the wolf in meadows pheromones, they were beyond powerful.

Baekhyun knows he may not be versed in the full mating rituals, but he has read about the rare pull true mates have. It would not be well received if to admit to his father that he wanted to submit there and then and would of welcomed the claiming. Baekhyun feels a hand brush across his forehead, "come moon child we have a a busy few days ahead of us with the festival. The sun will soon be rising just like your mothers temper if you don't high foot it!" Giggling softly at the shudder his father does, no one wants to be in his mothers bad books not even his mother's loving mate. Before getting up he kisses his fathers cheek, "thank you father!" He doesn't wait to see if his father follows and starts heading to towards the main temple.

Baekhyun has barely stepped out in to the courtyard when once again the hairs on the back of his neck rise. Baekhyun stays rooted to the spot as he feels his wolf stir at the sensation, it's not just the hair on his neck that has changed! The once calm sleepy atmosphere cackles with a powerful aura, one he recognises  the wolf in the meadow had! Baekhyun is beyond confused and can feel his wolf within is restless and whining to submit to that force. Baekhyun closes his eyes, as he tries desperately to calm down both his inner wolf and his hammering heart. It all happens to fast as one minute the birds are chirping and the torches hiss and the next there is sudden silence. Opening his eyes Baekhyun doesn't suppress releasing the gasp at the sight in front of him! There at the gates is a majestic sight, two unfamiliar grey wolves standing almost protectively in front of three men. Baekhyun however can't take his eyes off the beautiful tall almost regal man standing in the middle, those stormy grey eyes that thick ebony hair that shines almost blue in the early morning light. This man screams familiarity too him, a familiarity he doesn't get to investigate as seconds later both his parents burst into the courtyard, four sandy blonde wolves at their back.

Chanyeol's POV
There standing at the entrance of the grand gleaming white marble Moon temple, stands one of the moon gods greatest creations! Chanyeol would normally snicker at what he thinks, but this young man has grown if it were possible even more beautiful. Even from where he stands he can see exceptional beauty that is this omega. He can feel the same infatuation from his wolf, who's ears perk up at the small gasp said omega releases. The vibrancy of those clear icy blue eyes, that shining halo of blue hair against the backdrop of white marble ease the previous worries of mistreatment he feared was happening. Chanyeol discreetly rakes his eyes over the omega,  he is elated to find no obvious claim mark! Chanyeol hasn't missed how the shift this rare flower wears clings to every curve. He isn't happy that the material of said shift is plain cotton, he knows that many favour that plain cotton for chores as it's versatile and so readily available should any one need to shift to their wolf. Chanyeol if he had his way this young soon to be Prince consort would be wearing gold threaded cotton. The crown this precious omega wore of white flowers yesterday, would be replicated but instead of the simple white daisies it would be the highest grade precious stones from his family's vault.

Chanyeol Alpha you were right this young man is a blue Alpha, I'm sorry I didn't believe it! This young man is a miracle sent from the gods, he needs protection at all times. Chanyeol turns slightly to Jongdae ever so slightly nodding his head, he will ensure that protection even if he has to offer his personal protection. He is aware that the territory of the winter clan is not far from this temple! A light build goes off somewhere within him, of course now it makes sense why the temple haven't sent word. The winter clan are the only clan that he knows of that would boycott the temple! They have used that knowledge to their advantage, had they sent word of a blue omega being alive well Chanyeol doesn't want to think about it.

Movement to the side of peripheral vison and the sound of hurried footsteps from the temple breaks the seconds that he and the precious image have been staring at each other. He can only watch as a familiar faces emerge from the bowels of the temple, with him are four betas in wolf form. Chanyeol watches as the blue haired omega is ever so subtly surrounded by the four blonde beta wolves. Two at the back, two at the front Chanyeol is impressed how the wolves at the front are not directly in front of their young charge. Instead of taking defensive passes they lie on the floor so as not to be obvious they are there for the precious one behind them. The two males in the matching purple temple robes are a surprise, he hasn't seen these men for over 1000 years. "Welcome Supreme alpha, we have been expecting you" Chanyeol goes to respond, yet doesn't get chance when he hears small steps forward and that precious flower exclaim "it's you, your the wolf from the meadow!"

Happy new year everybody.
