20. HONGJOONG'S MATE

Han's POV

Soon after I had come to the realization of not knowing how to nest, I began to overthink.

Minho pulled me to the bed with a confused look on his face.

"You're quiet.. is something on your mind ?" He sat beside me, Soonie climbing into my lap and looking up at me curiously.

"S'just... I just realized..I just realized that I..I don't know how to nest.." I mumbled, Soonie pressing his face into my cheek.

"That's okay, that's fine.. so long as your heat isn't coming up I don't think it's a problem." I nodded shakily, running my hands up and down Soonie's back.

"Let's get some rest, we can talk more about it tomorrow. I promise." I nodded again, craddling Soonie in my arms as I laid down, the cat laying down on my chest when I got comfortable.

Minho laid down beside me, pulling me into his arms, careful of Soonie's already sleeping form.

I fell asleep soon after that, the worries of nesting slipping my mind as I fell into a dreamless sleep.

The next morning though, I woke up and gave Minho a kiss on the forhead before rushing off towards Chan's room.

I knocked lightly, not knowing if they were still sleeping.

Jeongin opened the door, eyes half lidded and hair frazzled, felix hanging loosely off his shoulder in his wolf form, already awake.

"Mmhn.. you need something..?" Jeongin's voice was rough from sleep, gravely but surprisingly soft for the low morning tone.

"Yeah uh.. omega help.."

That woke him up instantly, Felix switching back and forth between wolf form and human form to respond for Jeongin.

"We'll...help!",The animated pixie like wolf responded.

Chan walked up to the door with a sleeping Hyunjin in his arms, Hyunjin's wolf form covering Chan's arms completely.

"I've gotta get back to work now, take care of these guys for me, they can be little handfuls in the morning."

He placed Hyunjin in my arms and walked away after giving each of then, including me, suprisingly, a kiss on the forhead.

I stood there stunned and wide eyed as Felix giggled.

"You're basically our pup.."

Hyunjin's rough morning voice surprised me, a small smile on his face.

I hadn't even noticed he shifted into his human form with how surprised I was.

"Oh.." Hyunjin laughed lightly, carefully getting out of my arms.

"What was that about omega help..?"

He pulled me into the room, Felix and Jeongin following closely after.

"Oh uh.. well.." I looked down, feeling too embarrassed to say it.

"S'just that, last night.. after seeing you guys cuddling with Chan hyung, I realized.. I have no idea.. how to.."

I couldn't bring myself to finish what I was saying.

"How to what..?" Hyunjin asked, pulling me into his lap as he sat on the bed.

"I uh.. dunno how to nest.."

Hyunjin's eyes widened. "Oh shoot, I'd forgotten we promised to help teach you how to nest.."

He tapped my hip and I stood up, him following, wrapping a hand around my waist.

"Let's go, come on.. Minho hyung's room, right ? He.. he used to.. spend a lot of time in there.. should be okay for a nest.. so long as you guys are okay with it ?"

He looked almost hesitant to mention how Minho hyung used to spend most of his time in his room, at that time I understood, he wasn't sure about being allowed in there.

"Let's go..find Minho.." He looked at me, confused and slightly worried.

"W-Wait, why ?" I took his hand not speaking a word, I looked over at Jeongin and Felix and they look just as confused.

Surprisingly, they followed me to the head Alpha's office silently and willingly.

I opened the door without knocking, no warning, no nothing.

Soobin and Hongjoong were in the room, Yeonjun at Soobin's side, and a man at Hongjoong's side.

He smelled different..

I stepped forward, my eyes set on him as I let Hyunjin's hand go.

I went up to the taller male, his beauty and sophistication pulling me in more.

My difference in attitude made a tense feeling full up the room.

"Who are you ?" I asked, practically up in his face as I asked, feeling a nauseating feeling overwhelming the confusion and anger welling in me.

"Han-ah, what's going on...?" Minho asked, standing up from where he sat beside Chan.

"He, he doesn't smell right.. he smells off, unfamiliar, I don't like it.. something's funny.."

I spoke, responding to his question and pulling a gasp from the male in front of me.

"Babe, he's Hongjoong's mate.. he's somewhat of a wizard.. he has visions and such.."

The man in front of me nodded, confirming what Minho said was true.

"Can I...?" I reached out a hand, the males eyes wide, he let out a gasp like breath, looking over at his mate and to the others in the room.

"W-What..?" I sighed, speaking up to quell the confusion.

"Can I touch your stomach ?" I asked, his brows furrowed, his hands moving down to cup his stomach before he let his hands drop to his side and he nodded.

"Y-Yeah, s-sure..." I let my hand rest on his stomach.. and a pain shot through my head and I fell back.

"I..y-you're.. you aren't from here.. your smell it's.. it makes me sick.."

Hongjoong growled, stepping in front of his mate.

"What ? What did you say ?" He questioned, and Minho being the good mate he is stepped up beside me, letting out a growl of his own.

"What Han means is, Seonghwa's smell is overwhelming him, his nose has only just recently adapted to inhaling different scents.. but he's right Seonghwa does smell off."

Seungmin, who was now stood in the doorway with his arms crossed interrupted, Changbin standing behind him.

"I smell.. off ?" The man I now knew as Seonghwa questioned, looking hurt and slightly confused.

"Yes.. sorry about how I worded it, but in all honesty it does make me nauseous.. it's odd.. but I feel another presence within you.. "

I walked up to Seonghwa, taking his hands in mine gently, rubbing the back of them in apology and comfort.

"What..?" His brows furrowed as he cupped his stomach again. "But I don't feel much different than usual.."

His voice wavered towards the end and I nodded.

"You've got.. a baby in your belly.. Seonghwa.." There was a round of collective gasps, Seungmin walked up to Seonghwa, fast in pace.

"..We've never..?" Seonghwa looked back at Hongjoong, clearly scared.

"That's probably why the presence feels so strange.. it might not be a baby.. but an egg of sorts..?"

I gently pressed a hand against his stomach again.

"But I'm a male, plain and simple, it can't be.." I looked over at Seungmin, feeling my throat closing up.

"This.. we need to run some tests.. um.. this is odd, since you say you guys have never done anything, and you are a male, it could be something else.."

I nodded, looking over at Hongjoong apologetically.

"My wolf and I can sense something, and it's strange, but it's warm and it's not likely something that can harm you, so don't be scared, I'm sorry.."

Seonghwa nodded, letting out a shaky breath as tears sprung to his eyes.

I pulled him into a hug, feeling awful.

"Everything's gonna be okay, my wolf can sense it.. if anything, I'll make sure that regardless of what it is, we'll find out how to help you through it."

Seonghwa nodded, pulling away from me with a wet laugh.

"Now I see what you mean Chan hyung, he really is a good pup."

I blushed looking down at the floor as everyone let out light laughs.

"I got so scared, I've never seen Han so determined to get to the point of something like that, sheesh.. kinda wish you had that spunky attitude at your old pack."

Jeongin spoke up, pulling light laughs from everyone including me.

"Well, in all honesty.. during the attack, and when I was taken and put in that stupid dungeon, I scared him shitless by kicking the pumpkin I hid in at the stupid cell bars, oh and knocked over the sad excuse of a toilet and it got all over his pants and feet.."

Everyone grew quiet at my explanation, sad smiles on their faces.

"So that's why he stunk so bad.." Minho spoke up, his chest to my back as he wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me into him.

"You still smell like the pumpkin you hid in.." He nipped at my ear, pulling a giggle from me as he kissed the top of my head.

"Alright, alright, enough of that, Seonghwa, we'll run some tests on you and then.." Seungmin cut himself off as he turned to Hyunjin, Felix and Jeongin to the side of the room.

"He can join us for nest making practice !" Felix spoke up happily, shifting into his wolf form and running up to us, only to jump at Seonghwa and straight into his arms.

"N-Nest making..?" Seonghwa questioned, looking down at Felix in his arms.

"Yeah uh.. I've uh, never made a nest before, my old pack wouldn't let me.."

The Alpha's in the room all growled in disapproval.

"So, we're gonna teach him !" Felix continued, giggle from Seonghwa's arms in his human form.

"C-Can I join..?" Yeonjun, Soobin's mate spoke up, a glimmer in his eyes that showed he was all too eager to help.

"Mhmhm, Minnie can join too !" Seungmin's head shot up in Felix direction, "M-Me.. b-but I'm a beta..?"

Felix got out of Seonghwa's arms, walking up to Seungmin and cupping his cheeks.

"Wouldn't feel right without you." He kissed Seungmin's forhead and Changbin let out a small yip of approval.

"O-Okay.. " Seungmin's hesitant response made me smile.

"Well pups, we've got to get back to our meeting, and call us when you're done with your nests." Chan spoke, pulling Hyunjin and Jeongin into a hug.

Felix ran over to them in his wolf form to bite at Chan's ankle until Chan picked him up and kissed him on the nose, making Felix sneeze.

"Ya little ankle biter.." Chan set Felix down on the floor again, before walking over to me and pulling me into a hug.

"You did good pup, m'proud of you." I hadn't noticed tears falling until Chan pulled away from the hug to wipe them away.

"Our little alien.."
