Chanyeol stands at the very edge of his balcony, his black silk robe billowing in the gentle breeze. The night still under a cover of twinkling stars and the bright blaze of the soon to setting blue moon. On the first night of a blue moon festival he would normally be still amongst the thick of celebrations leading the chorus howling at the sky above. Its a tradition of his pack to vocally give thanks to the gods for all their blessings after the first feast. The group  howl also signifies the start of packs biggest hunt of the year, it's significant as it's the hunt they use for coming of age pups to hone their skills, and allow them the only hunt for pleasure, it allows them to be at one with their wolves. The only exception to not completing a blue moon festival hunt is a the crowning of a consort. This crowning however is not just for any consort, what better way to celebrate a Blue moon then by crowning a most treasured rare blue omega, his own precious mate!

The deep darkness of the huts and only the sounds of nature filling the air, is proof enough his father has taken the reigns and explained to the pack just who their new mysterious visitor is. The excitement and joy suddenly flooding his consciousness proof enough in his finally reopened pack link, a link he carefully closed when his father alerted him that Baekhyun was awake and desperate to be reunited. He was quick to close the link with pack, his reunion with his beautiful star was always going to be a private affair. He is positive the pack will know exactly what they have been up to, Chanyeol may not be embarrassed but he is confident Baekhyun will be, should he discover everyone will know what they have been up to.

He willingly raises his head towards the moon above him basking in its blue tinted silver light, letting its calming rays soothe his soul. His life is about to change forever and in the best way possible, an excitement unlike any other fills his veins, how love and absolute need to protect fills his heart in a way he never thought was possible. He's experienced plenty of intercourse in his long 2000 years since coming of age, but nothing quite like he's just experienced. His past sexual encounters pale in comparison to what it's like to be fully mated, its indescribable really. The connection between them so blessed and magical, the link they share heightening their pleasure.

Baekhyun was so sublime in his arms last, never before has anyone responded to him like his precious moon child had! The sound of his whimpers, the feel of that delicate soft smooth skin under his fingers, the scent of his slick, the way he trembled in his arms. The feeling he felt when he discovered his own cock had created a bulge low down on that normally flat stomach, is something he can't wait to feel again, next time with his knot! His exquisite moon child was so magnificent, so strong and so brave. Chanyeol can hardly believe Baekhyun is now finally mated to him and him alone, he's dreamed of thai moment since he first laid eyes upon him. He quickly glances back, peace in his heart knowing Baekhyun is finally resting peacefully amongst the silks in what is soon to become their bed. Their intimate moments earlier drove him wild, a sudden twinge in his back has him wincing, and his wolf purring in pride.

He remembers vividly how he was perhaps a bit lust mad, and not as gentle as he should of been, instead of his planed gentle pace with Baekhyun comfortable underneath him on his back. He had Baekhyun all but bent over on his knees, placing him there like a rag doll. Lewdly lapping at his slick, without even asking his moon child if it was ok. Then kept him on his knees, as he overstimulated him both with his thrusts, and dominating presence. To lost in the moment to truly realise what he had done, he had all but mounted his unclaimed mate as his fangs pieced unprepared fragile unblemished skin. Chanyeol remebeds chanting the ancient claim rites but hadn't even given his moon child the chance to bare his neck, before he was sinking his fangs into his shoulder blade.

Had claimed his mate without any prior soothing ointment just kisses and a lick to the skin, yes licking the skin would of offered relief but not enough. He was coherent enough to hear the scream his precious child released. He's ashamed of how unhinged he became last night, his self loathing intensifies when he remembers the streaks of blood on the sheets, and on the back of his precious stars thighs. He hasn't forgotten the bruising on his precious stars shoulder either, at result of his fangs. Now they are mated his healing saliva will ease that pain, and close the two areas where his fangs pieced the skin. What he does hate is that he can do very little, save warming blankets and perhaps a tonic for the pain he knows Baekhyun will have within. He could call for the midwife, but she will have his head for being so rough, he shivers as he remembers how he used to cower  underneath her glare. Especially after explaining that Baekhyun is so much smaller then the average omega.

"Alpha!"

Chanyeol shakes away his despair at that softly whispered call of his status, taking a deep breath he expects to turn around and find his delicate mate angry with him. It would be his right to be angry, he himself is acutely aware just how much he got carried away! Instead of the tears and angry face he was expecting, he finds his delicate moon child wrapped up in the golden threaded silk coverlet from his bed. His moon child looks divine, wrapped in nothing but silk, tousled hair shining in the moonlight and his private claiming bite on show for his eyes only. Chanyeol relaxes a little when no sign of anger or tears can be seen anywhere on his beautiful face, in fact he's never looked more happy. His eyes are sparkling and his smile is soft and serene as he slowly and barefooted walks out on too the balcony.

"I could feel your distress through our link Chanyeol, i awoke when I could not feel your presence." Chanyeol is beyond surprised but so pleased when Baekhyun walks straight up to him, his tiny hand settling on his naked chest as he brushes his lips softly against his own. It's like magic how that soft brush against his lips makes him feel less heavy, and finally makes him feel like he can breathe easily again.

"Moon child, you should be resting."

"You Alpha, should not be standing out here in despair, I can feel everything your thinking!"

"I deserve it, I wasn't exactly gentle at times, tell me the truth did I hurt you!"

"I won't lie and say I'm not with out pain, my shoulder burns, and my core feels tight, but I have never felt such exquisite joy before, don't you feel it too!"

Chanyeol is in awe of this beautiful creature, what he says is true, yes he feels infinite love and feels their connection is stronger then ever. He just wishes he didn't have to inflict such pain.

A pain I will willingly accept every time alpha, yes it was not what I  expected. It was so much more, we are true mates now my love. Our love will forever be known, and our bond will only get stronger, we are one. Even the moon shines brighter under the power of our bond.

It's those words whispered into their link that has the last of the tension flowing out of him like a river. His Baekhyun is right they finally mated, I will always lay my kill at your feet my mate!

Chanyeol can't help it he finally smiles when he sees just how much Baekhyun blushes at his ancient declaration of love, there is no greater show of love then laying a kill at the feet of a wolf mate. He can't help but drink in the divine creature in front of him, blue hair gently lifting in the breeze, claim mark proudly on show. It's for the first time that Chanyeol notices how Baekhyun has his bottom lip trapped between his teeth! A look that instantly replaces that self loathing with something all the more exciting. Heat flares across his open torso right through to his core, and before he can control himself he captures those soft lips in a demanding kiss his wolf purring in carnal need.

"Alpha!"

Chanyeol tears his lips away from his mate, the second he gets a whiff of something foul in the air. A warning snarl leaving his throat as he can't place what he smells. His precious mate instantly encased in his arms, when to his pure horror he spies a group of ten men each clocked in complete black clothing descend from the both the roof of the villa and the stone balcony! Each one armed with swords, axes and gruesome clubs he doesn't have time to do much save pull his precious mate behind him, and alert the pack through their link!

Our walls are breached every able bodied wolf is to come to the villa we are under attack. My mate and Consort is in danger!

My brother, I hear your call I'm only minutes away!"

Chanyeol had expected his father to be the first to answer, not Sehun. The sudden bang of the door has him holding his breath, as sheer anger courses through his veins. He's more then relieved to see his father in wolf form tear through the double doors of his chamber, he half expected it to be more these wretched fools. He can't think straight but  can feel the adrenaline pumping when he sees A long silver sword he would recognise anywhere held tight in his father's muzzle. Seconds later his father manages to throw the sword his way with practiced eased as they have many times! He manages to catch his fathers gaze, he can see the fire in those eyes, he certain it's the same fire and rage that match his own. My son your mate he must be kept safe!

I will not leave you to face ten men, and who knows more! Father this has to be the work of the spy! They even smell like our pack! How could I of missed this, I know no one from our pack would dare do this, our family would never aid these fools.

You said it your self my son, they smell like us we need to find the weak link. If we can separate one from the mass we can offer leniency for information.

Chanyeol goes to respond but feels his heart in his throat at what he witnesses next. It's only seconds later that one assassin foolishly tries to stab his father in the back, he never gets close enough to inflict any damage. His father is a seasoned warrior and is quick to slice through the rogues skin, slice through cloth and skin as if were tissue paper! Chanyeol catches a commotion in the corner of his eyes, just as he he feels a hand hold on tight to his arm and hears a distressed whimper. That whimper enough to goad in to action and like lightning he feeds his own sword in to the shoulder of the fool who dares to approach! Pushing him back down to the ground with an injury he will slow down and be more susceptible to being the weak link they need.

He almost misses the arrogant slimy devil aiming his club for his ankle, a move that would render him lame. Both that the fool gets close enough, he may not be in wolf form but his snarl is just as ferocious in this form! Enough to startle the clearly much younger wolf. He can't ponder on who he is or the rest of the intruders, as Sehun makes quick work of the fool with his own sword. He notices four more betas of his pack descend. He notices Yixing and Luhan in the bedroom,go to your father my precious star, he will take you to your mother.

Not without you!

You must my love, I swore to keep you safe, and this will get gruesome please my love.

I really don't want to be apart, please be safe I love you!

You must my moon child, my soul, I will not have you harmed.

Baekhyun's POV
Baekhyun gently kisses the silk clad back of Alpha, he may not be able to fight and is trembling down to his core.  He will show his support by any means he can, and if this means being out of harms way, then he will do just that. He sends a wave of soothing pheromones through their link, and is flooded with nothing but love in return, even when Chanyeol takes a defensive stance, the intention of those actions very clear. He's to run back to his father, whilst his love remains to fight and protect him.

This all feels awfully familiar and makes him feel very nauseous, more so then when he felt the despair of his alpha through their link! Something he need not feel, their first intimate experience was so much more then he could ever dream of. Yes his shoulder burns, his back aches and walking is quite the challenge, he knew it would hurt. He truly couldn't wish for more, Chanyeol was so attentive and that declaration of we are one almost has him tearing up. No they can bask in their love later, now is his chance to prove he can make Chanyeol proud. First they need to over come this, it's almost like someone can't bare the thought of them being happy! It was that awful yellowed eyed wolf first, and now a mere few days later, the encampment is breached! How these foul creatures though have managed to breach stone walls, in the dead of the night is beyond him.

He can't ponder to why they are here, as he watches another intruder fall beneath Chanyeol's sword! It truly pains him to see the beautiful mosaic floor become drenched with blood! Perhaps the most concerning of all is they have no distinct smell, other then smell the saffron from their clothes. Surely these are not pack members! He can't decipher who it as, he hears a whimper from the black wolf standing beside Chanyeol. It all happens so fast, he sees the club connect with the wolfs back, momentarily forcing the wolf to his knees! Baekhyun has just enough time to see Chanyeol advance, feeling his fury through their link. His own heartbeat wills for the wolf still on the ground to get up, it's almost as if the wolf knows what he is thinking as those familiar steel blue eyes lock on to him.

Daichi in wolf form is as magnificent as Chanyeol's, they stay locked in each other's gaze for a mere moment before he is turning, capturing the man who hit him, forcing him to drop the club with how viciously Daichi shakes his kill. Grabbing the offenders arm in his muzzle Baekhyun can hardly believe what he sees, Daichi growls low in his throat before tearing the thugs arm out of its socket with his teeth. The scream that follows is unbearable, not that he can move forward to make sure Daichi is unharmed either! Baekhyun can feel his father pull the back of the coverlet wrapped round himself, forcing him away from the carnage. He has just enough time to see Chanyeol in a murderous rage behead the thug who attacked his father, before he's reluctantly pushed out of the bedroom.

It takes Baekhyun a few seconds to realise his cheeks are wet, milliseconds to realise his mate link to his alpha is once again nothing but an echo of the strength it should be. Baekhyun knows why it's happened, as long as that echo remains he knows everything will be alright! Taking a deep breath he tries to shake off his tears, something he finds easier to do when his father stands before him slipping a plain white tunic over his nakedness. Fully clothed he is finally able to acknowledge the other wolf accompanying his father, the one Chanyeol called Luhan. He can hear his wolf whining at how beautiful this omega is, but scenting the air he can also smell Sehun all over him. This is Luhan, Sehun's mate, who Baekhyun could quite believe many would have difficulty telling them apart! If it wasn't for the fact Luhan has the traditional dark hair and at least two inches taller, they could be called twins.

"It's a pleasure to finally meet you Luhan mate of Sehun!"

"As it is you Supreme Consort, we have more time to talk and get to know each other later on. First I must implore we move to safety should the fight spill out of the Supreme Alphas private rooms."

Baekhyun can only nod and begrudgingly leave his alpha to fight, approaching footsteps cut off their conversation! Baekhyun can feel his heart plummet to his feet as he feels his father stiffen, as the air around them becomes permeated with the familiar scent of his mother laced with hatred and fear. What ever is happening must be pre mediated as the hair on the back of his neck is standing to attention and his wolf is growling ! He can't help but let out a pained filled sob when Yukio steps out into the light! What truly breaks Baekhyun heart is the feral growls of his Father and Luhan when they all spot the other wolf with Yukio. It's his mother, who has a knife help up against at his neck!

"Mother"

"Baekhyun, Yixing my darling im ok!"

"Unhand him please!"

The pleading tone of his fathers voice, is like a dagger through his heart, he can feel and sense the torture of his father! It must be agony being forced to watch his mother like this! He has to close his eyes as that sinister angry voice.

"My my I am surprised your with out an alpha entourage little peach, but this works well for me. Not a step closer either priest it will take just one slip to end your husband's perfect little life!"

Hearing those word and witnessing how easy it would be for this evil man to rid him of the man who was first to claim his heart. Who held him when he was sick, dried his tears when he fell, taught him to be the omega he's proud he's become scares him more then anything else. It all makes sense the attack on the villa, it was a diversion so that his mighty alpha would be other wise engaged whilst this mutt pilfered through the villa.

"I know you share a mate link with our  esteemed supreme Alpha little peach, if I get so much of a whiff of that dog I will slit your mother's throat! That goes for alerting Sehun too Luhan! Neither of them will be here in time for what I want anyway!"

Baekhyun tries not to cower in fear at those intense almost crazy yellow eyes! He can feel how his father is itching to go to his mother, further cracking his resolve to do as he says! His own eyes widen as he hears the gasp of  Luhan, feels the shakes of his father and his own body trembling as the air is flooded with pheromones! There's no way to mistake those pheromones Yukio is aroused, and glaring at him with the most unnatural saccharine smile he's ever seen. Yukio's intent clear in the way he scans over his own form, Baekhyun doesn't miss the way Yukio runs his tongue over his teeth and lips in a lewd suggestive manner!

"Your choice is simple little peach, you come with me or your mother dies!"

Baekhyun instantly finds the eyes of his mother only to see his mother close his own as if resigned to his fate! It's an impossible choice Yukio has placed on his shoulders, if he refuses it would mean instant death of his mother! Something that would destroy his father, to know his father could be without out his mate because he refused to save him is something he can't even put in to feelings! The shame and guilt of that act would be unimaginable, he almost cries out the moment he feels the intense pain pulsing though his shoulder as he considers the only way! He can feel the echo of fury and power of his mate through their link, he lowers his head at the weight of it as he considers his decision! Either choice will end in pure unimaginable pain.

Baekhyun turns his head to see the distress written across his fathers face as he valiantly tries to remain stoic, how his hands shake despite being clenched! He couldn't bare to be the source of such exquisite pain, turning back to face his mother all he can see is that same distress! Finally he raises his eyes to Yukio, those evil yellow eyes smug and almost goading! It's the look of the man who thinks he winning and knows exactly what's going to happen next! Baekhyun will not be the reason for this mother's death!

"Will you promise me, my mother will be free of your knife!"

"Of course little peach I will not let him go as soon as you     confirm your choice!"

"Do I have your word!"

"On my honour little peach!"

It only then that Baekhyun notices the disbelief in his mother eyes, he has no doubt his mother has cottoned on to what he intends to do. His father too has wide eyes and  Luhan just looks on in disbelief, his stance too mimicking his fathers. Baekhyun knows it's because They both long for their mates to burst through the door, yet know they won't!

No Baekhyun, I can not let you do this moonchild.

I have to mother, I can't watch you die, I can't be without you I just can't!

You will be tortured or worse poisoned, your a blue omega Baekhyun you know poison will kill you! My moonchild, think of Chanyeol and his despair!

I am Mother, I can't bare the thought of leaving, of being separated. The other option will mean I loose you. I can't bare the thought of either, how will I live with my self if I don't do this. We have one advantage Yukio will not be aware that Chanyeol and I have mated, that I am already claimed!

Your right he won't, It will buy you some time but not much Baekhyun, please think this through!

We don't have time, the longer we linger the more he will push. It's time for me to be the strong one, as a mate, as consort, as a son.

You are a true Supreme Consort, moonchild your decision will be hard to endure both for you and for Chanyeol! I promise we will not let you suffer alone for long.

"Time to stop dawdling, little peach! Perhaps you need an incentive to move along!"

Baekhyun is confused by Yukio's statement for just a moment, before he can cry out  in fear everything happens so fast! He hears his mother howl out in pain as a knife is plunged into his shoulder, his father bursting  into action next! Baekhyun remains rooted to the spot as his normally docile, gentle father picks up a bench in one hand as he dives to catch his mother! The next second the bench is soaring towards Yukio, who narrowly missing it as it careens into a stone and crystal pillar! Luhan he sees from the corner of his eye trying to reach him, trying to push himself back towards Chanyeol's chambers!

Luhan to his horror never gets close enough, Baekhyun watches with tears freely flowing as Luhan is not so gently flung towards his parents. Baekhyun is positive he hears the sound of bone cracking as his father valiantly softens Luhan's fall! Baekhyun has just enough time to hear his mother scream out Chanyeol's name as he's hoisted off the floor,  he tries to fight off Yukio but is no match for his superior strength! His continued struggling for naught as Yukio simply flings him over his shoulder clamping him in place with a vice like grip! Baekhyun has just enough time to watch his mother struggle against his father before Yukio is pushing through a side door and out into the the olive vineyard, the same vineyard his nest looks out too. The pressure on his back is quickly making breathing difficult, as he gasps for air he hears a deafening roar that sound much like a wounded animal!

It's dawns in him then that all Chanyeol will know is that he willingly accepted the hand of an enemy to save a life! Completely disregarding their bond, not just that either his mother still got injured! True shame washes over him as he realises he willingly walked into a trap, effectively rendering Chanyeol efforts to keep him safe useless. It's the burn in his chest as he sees the deep void of darkness creeping into his eyes at the lack of oxygen that he truly lets his emotions take over. He has just enough time to glance up and notice how the blue moon appears to weep with him before the darkness consumes him and he hears an echo of his name on the breeze.

To be continued.....
