Uruha's leg was shaking as he sat quietly in the chair waiting for the Shinya to come in to see him. He was seriously anxious and part of that was coming from Ruki. His mate didn't want him out, but it wasn't like he was alone, Toshiya and a couple others had come along as his guards. The alpha was actually sitting in a chair next to the patient chair. Uruha rubbed his arm and sighed catching Toshiya's attention.
"What?" The alpha asked.
Uruha kept his eyes down. "It's just…Ruki wanted to see the first ultrasound"
"You told him right?"
"I...I didn't want to get his hopes up. I just told him that Shinya wanted to check everything out."
Just as he said that, Shinya opened the door with a smile and Byou was behind him pushing in an ultrasound machine. Uruha watched as the alpha hooked it up, but Shinya pushed him on his back and lifted up his shirt. Uruha took a deep breath hearing the machine start up. Shinya rubbed the omega's flat stomach with a smile.
Within a couple of minutes the machine was ready and Shinya squirted a clear gel on the honey blonde's stomach. He pressed the wand into the gel and spread it all over Uruha's lower abdomen. The omega took steady breathes as Shinya remained quiet, but then the beta smiled. He hit a key on the keyboard then turned the monitor around. He pointed at a small jelly bean shaped thing in picture.
"That's your baby." Shinya said and Uruha started crying with a huge smile on his face.
Uruha stared down at the photo as he walked up to the factory. He was allowed to be off in his own world since he had Shinya and two alphas guarding him, but nothing happened. There was no sign of Hiro's pack anywhere which surprised and worried Toshiya. They made it to the factory without any incident. The moment Uruha opened the door he ran in straight to his and Ruki's room.
Uruha swung the door open to find Shou changing Ruki's neck bandages, but the alpha pushed him away. Shou knew when he wasn't wanted, so he quickly left the room to give them privacy. Uruha laughed and cried at the same time as he dropped to his knees next to his mate. Ruki stared at him confused, but then Uruha handed the ultrasound photo to him.
Ruki looked at it then at Uruha. "What is this?"
Uruha laughed as he hugged Ruki tightly. "I'm still pregnant."
Ruki gasped, hugged his mate tightly tears rolling down his cheeks. "How…I thought…"
"Shinya thinks I had twins. Thinks that if that was the case then I would have lost one them anyways. Male carriers have a hard time with twins so the body purges one of them."
Ruki rubbed his forehead against Uruha's and laughed. "We're still having a child."
Uruha closed his eyes feeling his lover's happiness and relief. They carefully laid down and held each other as they cuddled. Ruki reached his hand down to gently rub his mate's stomach.
Shinya watched as Uruha walked straight to Ruki's room then headed up to his mate who was sitting quietly in his normal spot. The beta sat next to him, but laid his head on Kyo's lap. The alpha gently rubbed his head as they looked at the foyer. It was quieter since Yoshiki left that morning.
Shinya had missed their farewells since he and Kyo had a long night, but Kyo passed Yoshiki's farewells to him. Shinya will have to send an apology to the other pack for missing their goodbyes. He turned on his back and smiled up at Kyo. The alpha smiled back before leaning down to kiss Shinya on the lips. Kyo's hand rubbed Shinya's chest before moving down his pants and rubbed just inside them. Shinya laughed at the tickling feeling. He rubbed Kyo's face as he pulled away with a smile.
"Should we go to our room?"
"You read my mind." Kyo whispered.
Tsuzuku groaned as rolled in his blankets up against Ryoga. He buried his face the blonde's chest and took a deep breath. His body shivered feeling Ryoga rubbing his back and a warm sensation flowing through his body. Tsuzuku moved up to look his mate in the eye before leaning in to kiss him on the lips. Ryoga hugged him tightly as he pushed into the kiss and hummed.
Tsuzuku pulled away slowly and rubbed Ryoga's face. Ryoga slowly moved over Tsuzuku's body, laying on top of him kissing him softly. Tsuzuku let out a small giggle as Ryoga rubbed his arm.
"Ryoga…" Tsuzuku whispered. "Touch me more."
Ryoga smiled as he slid his hand slowly down Tsuzuku's stomach. He rubbed his omega's stomach before slipping his hand into Tsuzuku's pants. The blonde felt his mate shaking in under him and stopped.
"We don't have to do this." He whispered.
Tsuzuku sniffled and quickly wiped his eyes. "I'm sorry."
"No, no you don't have to be sorry. Whenever you're ready, we'll try again."
Tsuzuku nodded as he rolled over. "I uh, just want to sleep."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, let me just rest for now." Tsuzuku sighed.
Ryoga caught the hint, feeling hurt and rejected, but he moved away. He the omega on the head before leaving the room.
As Ryoga walked out he spotted Uruha running through the foyer and spotted Toshiya walking in with a glare. Ryoga, curious, decided to see what was up with the other alpha. He went up to Toshiya as he managed to stop Kyo and Shinya from going into their room.
"We need to talk." Toshiya said.
Kyo groaned. "Make it quick."
"Something isn't right. Every time we go out, we have Hiro's pack watching us, and they attacked us when we had omegas with us. Today, there was nothing, no attack, and no scouters. Something is up."
"Toshiya," Kyo sighed. "It was a good day. Scouters can't be out here every day."
"Kyo, please something is not right here. We need to see what's going on."
Kyo shook his head. "No, stay here. We're safest together in our home."
"Kyo," Ryoga spoke up earning glares from the two of them. "Listen, I have to go out and get my things from my apartment before my landlord decides to throw it out. My lease is officially up in a couple of days, besides I can't keep borrowing your clothes now can I? Why don't I do some recon while I'm out? I mean, I'm only here to help Tsuzuku, I'm not really a part of your pack, but I don't mind doing that for you."
The pack leader gave him scrutinizing stare. "Fine, but Toshiya will be joining you."
Ryoga nodded and turned away. "I'll meet you out front then. I'm going to say bye to Tsuzuku real quick."
As the blonde walked away, Kyo looked at Toshiya with a glare. "It's about time we find out some information on this wolf. If anything seems off with him, do not let him back into this factory."
"Kyo." Shinya gasped. "Tsuzuku needs him."
"Ryoga could still be a danger to my pack and I won't allow my family to get hurt again." Kyo said and walked off leaving Shinya behind.
Toshiya patted the beta's shoulder. "Don't worry he'll cool off soon."
"Be safe out there." Shinya said. "And bring Ryoga back with you."
"I will." Toshiya said. He had walked out to find Ryoga standing by the gates waiting for him. The alpha nodded before they headed out into the city towards Ryoga's apartment.
They ended up in the middle of the city at the border of the two packs where they headed up to the third floor of some apartments. Toshiya studied everything as they walked into the empty apartment with two duffel bags sitting in front of a couch. Ryoga walked to them and picked them up. He looked around the room taking a deep breath before walking out. He sat his key in the mailbox by the door then they left the complex.
Instead of heading back to the factory, they headed into Hiro's territory sneaking around the buildings. Ryoga led the way to a tall apartment complex two streets from Hiro's home. Toshiya watched as Ryoga walked up to the door and dropped his bags. The blonde opened up one of them and pulled out a card to swipe it through the door's electronic lock. The doors clicked and they quickly opened them.
Ryoga led the way up to the top floor where Ryoga walked up to another door and swiped the same keycard to get inside. They slipped into the empty condo and Toshiya watched as Ryoga walked to a nearby window with his bags where he dropped them. The blonde pulled out some binoculars from the same duffel bag and looked out the window. Ryoga put them down only to sit on the window sill then he looked back out.
Toshiya sat next to him on the sill and saw that they had a great view of Hiro's home. Ryoga reached into the same bag and pulled out a second pair of binoculars to hand them to the other alpha. Toshiya accepted them, but stared at Ryoga.
"So, military?" Toshiya asked and Ryoga froze, looking at the other alpha.
"What?"
"You were in the military right? Saying 'recon' instead of 'scouting', having an apartment lined up perfectly on the pack borders as to not catch too much attention from either side, having access to an extravagant condo. I know a lot about lock picking and breaking into places. That key you have is preprogramed, but its blank meaning it's rewritable. You have hideouts on both sides of the border don't you?"
Ryoga nodded. "Pretty observant."
Toshiya sighed. "Before I met Kyo and Kaoru, I was a professional thief. I had to be observant or I'd be caught. I was scum who didn't care about others and would intentional put others in harm's way so I could get away. I fell though. I ended up on the run from some bad people and ended up running quite literally into Kaoru. He brought me in and gave me a chance. He and Kyo were the first ones to ever see me as a person. They were my first family and I didn't want to lose them."
Ryoga scoffed as he rolled his eyes. "I'm not stupid. I know you're lying. Trying to convey a sappy story in order to connect with me somehow so that I open up to you. I heard the orders Kyo gave you."
Toshiya's eyes widen, but he smirked. "Well it was partly true. I was a professional thief, but I wouldn't allow others to get hurt for my own gain."
"Yeah I figured." Ryoga snorted, but sighed. "I have a past that isn't exactly pretty and I don't really like talking about it. I wanted to leave because I was scared. I'm scared that if I stay anywhere for too long of a time I'll be found and anyone I end up caring for will be killed. That's why I decided to leave without telling Tsuzuku, but I just couldn't do it."
"Ryoga, what are you talking about? Who's trying to kill you?" Toshiya asked.
Ryoga stared up at the sky and took a deep breath. "When I was a kid, a strong wolf pack came into my town and took every wolf under eighteen then killed the rest. We were taken to this secret location with other wolves our age from other packs and were sold to the military. Then we were experimented on. At the beginning there was a little over a hundred of us. We were genetically modified so that we could see better, hear better, scent better, react faster, and be stronger.
"I can adjust the way I smell things, focusing on one scent while blocking out others or make it to where I can't smell at all which made me an excellent tracker. Anyways, the modifications killed about half of the wolves. After all the experiments, we were trained as military fighters and it was intense. A lot of my comrades died in the process. Then after all those years we were sent out into the field on dangerous missions. By that point there was only twenty-three of us.
"I saw all of them slowly be killed on missions. The last mission I was on, it was just myself and one of my comrades. We were born from the same pack and I didn't know him at first, but we did become friends."
"Let me, guess he died on the last mission and that was the last straw for you." Toshiya said.
Ryoga shook his head. "No, the mission was a success and we both lived. Most the time when we were all captives we were always talking about leaving the place for good. Just running and never turning back. Most the time there was too many of us, but when it came down to two of us it seemed more possible.
"So we decided to take our chance and we made a run for it. We got out and we kept running. We knew they were chasing us, but for the first time ever we felt free. We made it about twenty miles before we decide to sit and rest. That was a mistake. We knew better, but we lit a fire and sat around it eating deer. We were being loud and laughing. At that moment it was perfect. I remember my friend looking and smiling at me…but then…"
Toshiya watched as Ryoga blinked away a few tears before continuing. "We were laughing and the next thing I knew I had his blood all over my face. He head had been blown off right in front of me. Something inside of me snapped and I lost it. I killed everyone who ever held us, experimented on us, and sent us out on missions. I destroyed the place I lived all my life and then I disappeared. I became a lone wolf jumping from place to place. Not belonging anywhere."
"You can belong here." Toshiya said.
"Kyo doesn't want me here, but I can't leave Tsuzuku either. I don't know what to do." Ryoga sighed looking out the window again. His face scrunched up. "The hell? Take a look at this."
Toshiya looked through his binoculars out to Hiro's place to find a large pack of wolves walking around the building. Hiro was leading them around talking with the new pack leader. The man was taller than Hiro, bigger than him too, and had brown spiked hair.
"What the hell is going on down there?" Toshiya asked.
"I know that man," Ryoga growled.
"Who is he?" Toshiya asked.
"He goes by Dogma in the underground. His real identity is unknown."
"Dogma?" Toshiya growled. "So he's the one who hurt Reita. How do you know him?"
"Who do you think did the military's dirty work?" Ryoga scoffed. "He has connections, that's why he's so strong and that's why he can get away the shit that he does. That's the wolf who killed my parents right in front of me. He's the one who took us from our homes."
"And he going to hurt all of us."
The two alphas were startled by the sudden voice and turned to see Die standing behind them. They started growling at him, but he raised his hands up showing he meant not to fight, but Toshiya prepared himself anyways.
"How the hell did you get in here?" The brunette snapped, then looked at Ryoga. "I thought you said you had some advanced shit done to you. Why didn't you know he was in here?"
"I was busy looking out a window and talking to you. I can only concentrate on so much." Ryoga snapped back.
"Hey," Die caught their attention. "If you're going to sneak into another territory you should really cover your scent up better."
"What are you doing here?" Toshiya growled. "If you think you're going to report us to your leader, you're dead wrong."
"Actually, I came here to warn you." Die said, shocking the two other alphas.
Kaoru yawned as he stretched out then looked down to find Aoi sleeping soundly next to him. They had fallen asleep in the same room last night. Kaoru petted Aoi's head before stepping outside of the room expecting to see more people, but realized Yoshiki's pack was already gone. He felt instantly guilty for not saying goodbye.
He walked out further to the foyer where small groups were made up, but he was looking for Kyo. As he moved to the leader's room, he heard some chatter coming from upstairs. He looked up to see Byou and Shou pushing a crate towards each other. Kaoru sighed deciding to see what the two were arguing about this time. As he climbed he listened to the two snapping at each other.
"Listen, it was your responsibility to make sure the mating room was stocked up." Byou growled, "So you take it in there."
"You're the alpha, you have more defense going in there." Shou snapped back at him pushing the small crate of goods back at the alpha.
"I have more dominance than you. Kai will attack me on sight. And you're right, I'm the alpha you're the omega. I'm ordering you to put the stuff in there."
"What's going on?" Kaoru sighed catching their attentions.
Byou rolled his eyes. "I'm handling it. Shou just forgot to stock up the room before Kai and Reita went in. He's going to do it now. Aren't you Shou?"
"No he's not." Kaoru said walking up to them. "Kai and Reita are in the middle of a mating ritual. Shou goes in he'll disrupt the whole thing and send Reita into a frenzy. Normally the pack leader takes this job, but Kyo has his hands full right now."
"So…" Byou hummed.
Kaoru took the crate and reached his hand out asking for the key to the room. Byou handed it over and stepped back as Kaoru unlocked the door. The alpha swung the door open quietly then slid the crate in before quickly shutting the door. The whole process caught Kai's attention, but he barely had time to growl at them before the door was shut. Kaoru locked the door then handed the key back to Byou and walked away leaving the two staring at each other.
Kaoru walked straight to the room Aoi was sleeping and closed the door behind him. He took steady breathes and rubbed his forehead as he swallowed hard.
"Damn it." He whispered. He had forgotten to hold his breath when he opened the door and even though he was only exposed to the pheromones for a second it had a great effect on him.
"Kaoru?" Aoi asked softly as he sat up.
"Hey. Lay back down."
Aoi sniffed the air and studied Kaoru's body. Something was off with him- the way he was slouching, looking away with blushing cheeks, and how he was keeping his distance. Aoi moved his eyes down further and spotted something interesting. He bit his bottom lip as sat up on his hands and knees. Kaoru glanced over when he saw movement in the corner of his eye. Aoi was crawling to him with a devious smile on his face.
"What are you doing?" He asked. Aoi smiled as moved up to the alpha and started rubbing his thighs. "Aoi?"
"Let me." He whispered. "I'd like to…help you with this."
Kaoru nodded his head.
The alpha watched as Aoi unbuckled his pants and pulled them down a little. The omega slipped his hand in to pull out the half hard erection. Kaoru threw his head back feeling Aoi stroking his member. Aoi watched as the erection slowly grew and listened to Kaoru's heavy breathing. The omega reached his tongue out to lick the red tip making the alpha gasped.
"Aoi." Kaoru looked down. "You don't have to."
"I want to." He whispered before taking the member into his mouth. Kaoru closed his eyes placing his hand on the omega's bobbing head. He let out a soft moan and Aoi smirked a little before working on his alpha again.
Aoi kept bobbing his head, shivering whenever Kaoru sent subtle pressure through his body. He felt Kaoru's gripping getting tighter in his hair and he glanced up. Kaoru's eyebrows were knit together, he was still biting his lip, and his head down, but he was looking at Aoi with lidded eyes. His breathing was shaky as Aoi slowly pulled off before going back down.
"Aoi…" He grunted. "I'm close."
Aoi began sucking harder and faster on the alpha's cock. Kaoru grunted feeling his body heating up. His cock twitched and he couldn't hold back. The omega stopped moving feeling the come shoot into his mouth. He sucked a little more before swallowing and letting the member fall out of his mouth. He watched Kaoru gasping for air as sweat rolled down his face. Aoi slowly raised up, placing kisses on Kaoru's neck before capturing his lips. Kaoru moaned into the kiss as he reached behind his mate to grip his rear.
Aoi let out a soft giggle when he felt Kaoru squeezing his cheeks. They pulled from the kiss and smiled at each other. Aoi stepped back, but held onto the alpha's hand leading him to the middle of the room where they slowly laid down. Kaoru crawled over Aoi's body, kissing his neck and sending pressure through his body. Aoi shivered feeling the alpha's warm hands exploring his body and the soft lips tickling his skin. He let out soft moan as he felt Kaoru starting to get excited again. Aoi bucked his hips against Kaoru, showing him just how much this was affecting him.
Kyo felt bad for snapping at Shinya earlier that day. They were so close to having a nice little continuation of the night before when he got pissed off. He really needed to work on his anger. Feeling a little cooled off though, he decided to head back to his mate, who was sitting in the foyer with Hiroto and Shou. They were talking about some medical supplies they needed to get by the end of the month. Kyo approached them, coughing to get their attention.
Shinya sighed as he dismissed himself and followed Kyo to their room. Shinya sat on the bed expecting to be yelled at or something, but instead Kyo sat behind him and began massaging his shoulders. The pack leader moved in to kiss Shinya's neck.
"I'm sorry for snapping at you earlier." Kyo whispered.
Shinya grabbed his mate's hand and looked back at him with a smile. "Apologize to me properly."
Kyo moved his mate to lay on his back and rubbed the blonde's sides. Shinya wrapped his arms around Kyo's neck to pull him down for a kiss. Their lips gently grazed each other when the door their room slammed open. Kyo let out a loud growl turning to who dared to disturb him. Toshiya and Ryoga were standing there gasping for air.
"Kyo." Toshiya's voice cracked a little. "We have to call a meeting. Now."
Kyo took his place as the alphas surround him and as Shinya sat next to him on the center. Kyo raised an eyebrow when he noticed Kaoru's disheveled clothes that the alpha was trying to straighten out. Ruki was sitting by him rubbing his bandaged neck with tired eyes. The omegas were peaking nearby, but were sent away by a mere glance of the pack leader. Toshiya waved for Ryoga to join them, earning a scowl from Kyo, but allowed it for now.
"Well, what is so important that you disturbed us?"
"We got some intel on Hiro's pack." Ryoga stated, but Toshiya patted his arm to stay quiet and straightened up before speaking.
"Kyo, I need you to listen to everything I have to say before you react. We have eyes and ears inside Hiro's pack. Die…has agreed to give of information in exchange for safety when this is all over."
"What?" Melody gasped. "That wolf tried to rape and kidnap Reita."
"We know, but he gave us some information as an act of good faith."
"And what is this information." Kyo asked.
"Dogma is here." The statement brought whispers around them, but Toshiya continued. "The deal that he and Hiro struck is that Dogma will help Hiro destroy our pack in exchange for Reita. Because Hiro couldn't get Reita he is giving all the information Dogma needs to get to us. Die also says that there is something up Hiro. He's already snuck his mate, Cazqui, out of the city to protect him. There's more. Hiro has given him a layout of the factory as well as our escape plans. Their main goal is to kill you, Kyo, and the alphas. Then to take Reita back along with our omegas."
"When do they plan on attacking?" Kaoru asked.
"Die said that they didn't have an exact day yet, but it'll be soon. Dogma wants to get familiar with the city, so we might have a few days to prepare. Die has agreed to meet every night to give us updates. We already have a time and place set."
"We can't trust him." Shinya said. "You can't really trust him."
"We don't. Which is why we sat up the meeting place on our turf." Toshiya said.
"I don't know if that's any better." Melody sighed.
Toshiya nodded. "Die said that Dogma is already turning Hiro's pack against him, he just doesn't know it yet."
"What numbers are we talking?" Kyo asked.
"Ryoga?" Toshiya asked.
The blonde nodded. "I can't say the approximate amount, but definitely more than twice the size of your pack. We'll be wiped out by sheer numbers alone."
The alphas started mumbling between themselves before Kyo finally stood up to bring the attention to him. "Quiet. Everyone listen up." He announced, his voice calling to the omegas as well. "This is our home, but is being threatened. This time, however, we cannot protect it. We'll start preparations immediately to leave. Our home is important, but we can make a new one. Right now our safety, our lives take precedence. For now rest, we wake at first light."
The gathering was broken up as everyone began talking amongst themselves. Shinya stood next to Kyo and rubbed his back. The pack leader was looking over at Uruha when Ruki got up to go hug him. Kyo took Shinya's hand and looked him in the eye.
"I won't let it happen again." He whispered.
Aoi hugged Kaoru tightly burying his head in the alpha's shoulder. Kaoru held him tightly as he cried.
"Don't let them take me back." He sniffled. "Please don't let them get me."
"I'll protect you with my life. You won't return to that place I swear."
Aoi sniffled. "I'm scared."
"I know." Kaoru whispered, sending soothing waves of pressure though his mate's body. "I know."
