His eyes slowly fluttered open as if the lids were too lazy to open up and show the treasure they held inside. But as the fates would have it, the beautiful dark orbs appeared, taking in their surrounding with great patience.
"Hyung?"

The single word pierced itself through the alpha's fog filled brain causing a reflexive hum of acknowledgement to flow from his lips.

"It's time to get up. It's almost eight." The younger wolf spoke up softly leaning over the back of the couch the older was resting in.

As if on cue a knock was heard coming from the front door.

"Alpha, I think there's a problem." His beta said from the other side of the wooden structure.

Yoongi sighed, reluctantly dragging himself up from the comforts of his couch. It was a good thing that he and Jungkook got ready earlier.

Opening the door, the black haired male was faced with a very nervous Chanyeol. His beta was a lot of things but never nervous.

"Talk." Yoongi demanded, stepping down the front porch, listening for Jungkook to catch up after closing the door.

"I got a call from one of the members over at the pack house saying that several wolves seem to be in a predicament with some unknown visitors and I got a message from the heir of the lion pride saying that they had arrived..."

Chanyeol trailed off waiting for his alpha's wrath that never came. He was quiet, with a frown replacing his usual expressionless face and that's never good.

Both betas could sense the undertone of anger lingering under the surface with their alpha's natural scent.

Shit, that's not good.

Quickening their steps the alpha and his betas hurried towards the pack house hoping to do some kind of damage control but when they heard a mighty roar echoed throughout the pack lands, they broke into a run with a growl rumbling up Yoongi's chest.

"Someone is going to get beat!"

Bursting into the clearing in front of the pack house, the three came to a sudden hault, lost for words at what was happening right now. They were beyond shocked.

First, there were three enormous lions present. Second, one had a pack member's throat firmly secured between his jaw. And third, the most important, the most heavily scent that was wrapping itself up around them. Three different scent, mind you, along with their wolf counterpart screaming mate!

Oh shit!

Obviously their mates were among the newcomers but which was which?

"H-Honey.." The woman spoke, who Yoongi just realized was present with a male version of herself, running a hand through the thick mane of the largest lion there.

The King.

The lion huffed, shifting back into his human form in the blink of an eye, in all his naked glory. Shifter weren't modest when it came to nudity, since they have to remove their clothes in order to shift, hence the tattered pieces of fabric currently on the ground.

The other lion that took up the rear also shifted back. He was a younger version of the King.

"Mate."

The word was whispered so softly that Yoongi wasn't sure he heard it, even with his advanced shifter hearing. But he did. He looked over to Chanyeol whose face had softened, and was definitely accompanied by eyes filled with longing.

The male followed his beta's gaze to find himself staring at the lion that shifted a few seconds ago.

The King's heir.

"Father, Taehyung's going to kill the poor wolf."

Everyone snapped their heads towards the lion that still had its jaws around the wolf's neck. A few of the wolves inched forward, growling lowly even though Yoongi could smell how scared some were.

Haven't they disgraced me enough?

"Shut up all of you! Causing me to lose face wasn't enough but you want to start a war also?"

Yoongi's alpha voice boomed throughout the clearing, bringing everyone's attention to him except the lion before him. No, he was out to kill, the black haired male noticed.

Damn.

"All of you leave now! But make no mistake that you will be punished for this disgrace you've bestowed upon the pack. Get!"

They didn't have to be told twice. The wolves in either form scurried away without a second thought or protest. That only left the family of five and the four wolves, including the one trying to extract himself from the lion's mouth.

A blonde haired male with slightly pale skin quickly rushed over towards the graceful beast, kneeling down next to him with a hand buried in his mane.

"Tae, you can let go now. Mom and I are ok, you guys protected us as always. Don't embarrass dad ok?" The boy's voice was soft and soothing yet firm and confident as he talk down the other who just growled a little before letting the wolf's neck fall from his mouth.

The poor grey wolf whined, slowly moving away as far as his body would let him.

So he started it.

Yoongi shook his head in disappointment. He thought his members were better than this. Maybe he should up his discipline methods.

"Jungkook, get him to Mark so his wounds can be treated." The alpha instructed after seeing the lion's blooded mane which was obviously not his blood.

The young beta didn't move an inch, he was too busy staring at the blonde who was currently scolding the lion, if his slightly bowed furry head was anything to go by.

"Jungkook!"

"Yes! Sorry Alpha."

The younger hurried towards the downed wolf, Yoongi not missing the shocked look on the boy's face as he glanced at the blonde one last time before he gently picked up the wolf, carrying him towards the pack clinic that was a two minute walk from the pack house.

"Taehyung, shift."

The King spoke up suddenly, getting the two wolves attention once more before snapping back towards the lion that was shifting back to his human form.

Mate!

The word rang through Yoongi's head as his dark orbs were locked with light brown ones and he could see the same realization circling around in them.

"Shit." The surprisingly deep voice was such a contrast to the most beautiful face Yoongi has ever seen. It wasn't often that the male thought anything was beautiful. But his mate took the whole damn bakery.

His mate. Holy shit.

"Kim Taehyung, language!"

The blonde haired woman scolded as she handed a shirt to her mate. It was normal and best advised for shifters to always have change of clothes with them at all time because anything could happen.

"Sorry mom." The lion, Taehyung mumbled walking over to the woman to get the spare clothes she got for him and clean the bit of blood from his gorgeous tan skin.

After the lions were fully clothed, the older lion walked over to Yoongi, holding out a hand towards the man.

Without hesitation, the slightly shorter male grabbed it with his own, executing a firm handshake with the older.

"I would like to apologize for the behavior of my members. They will be punished accordingly. I cannot have them trying to hurt my mate's family after all."

Smooth...

The handshake came to an abrupt hault. The king's face was nothing but pure and utter confusion.

"Mate?"

Yoongi nodded as if it was obvious.

"Uh, Taehyung is it? Yes, he's my mate." The words fell from his mouth without hesitation, everyone's gaze were now filled with Taehyung squeezing the bridge of his nose.

"Holy--! I can't believe we found our mates at the same time! And in a wolf pack no less! What are the odds!"

Ok now all attention was on the heir this time. It was comical how the older lion's eyes got even bigger than before at the second announcement.

Woojin slowly took back his hand, walked around to the driver side of the SUV and sat in the driver seat while looking out into nothing at all.

"That went well."

"Baekhyun.." Taehyung groaned.

Shit.
