Everyone was up and getting ready to head out to work when Shinya pulled Kyo away to their private room. Kyo sat on the couch as Shinya knelt on the floor and sat his head on his alpha's lap.

"What's wrong, Shinya?" Kyo sighed.

The golden haired man closed his eyes to hold back his tears. "Do we have to tell him now?"

"We went over this last night." Kyo groaned as he stood up. Shinya watched him take a few steps away. "Both he and Kai have the right to know. You can't hold this information from either of them."

Shinya gripped his stomach. "I know I have to tell them at some point. But can't it wait? Reita has gone through enough, hasn't he? The abuse… the cage fights…now this. How can I just tell him that his old pack leader took away his ability to have children? How do I tell him that?"

Kyo clenched his fists. "Shinya, you have no right to hide this from them. If you don't tell them, I will."

"Kyo please, he's still recovering."

"Is he the one still recovering or is it you?" Kyo shouted out at his mate. Shinya flinched as he gripped his shirt. "Shinya, you need to let that go."

"You haven't! So why should 1?" Shinya cried out. Kyo felt a pain in his chest at the memory. He watched as his mate continue to cry. A loud knock on the door startled them then Kaoru opened it and was surprised at the scene. Kyo glared at him.

Kaoru scratched the back of his head. "We're all heading out. Just thought I'd let you know. I'll tell them to leave before you."

"Don't bother." Shinya sniffled. He stood up wiping his face and stormed out of the room. Kaoru looked at his leader.

"Care to enlighten me as to why your mate is crying?"

"None of your business. Go ahead, I'll catch up." Kyo ordered.

Kaoru began to close the door but stopped midway. "Kyo, if it's the same thing as last time, then you both need to let it go. It was neither of yours' faults."

"Kaoru!" He growled.

"I know what you're going through, Kyo, remember?" Kaoru said sadly. "I know the pain you're feeling. Please, don't let it destroy what you have left. I'll wait out here for you."

Kyo watched as the alpha left him alone in the room. He rubbed his head and sat on the couch. "I can't let it go. It was all my fault."

Reita was walking out when he spotted Kai walking with Ruki and Nao close behind. Jealousy flared in his stomach. He grabbed some snow and packed it into a ball. His intended target was Nao, but he watched as Kai laughed at the omega and decided the throw the ball right at his head. Kai stopped in his tracks when his head was hit by a ball of snow. He looked back to growl at whoever did it, but found Reita laughing and all his anger vanished. Kai quickly grabbed some snow and threw it back starting an all-out snowball fight. Nao was the only one standing to the side glaring at Reita. The blonde was running as Kai chased him with a giant ball of snow. Reita tripped over and fell but rolled onto his back to find Kai dropping the snow to the side. He dropped down over Reita's body and leaned down to kiss him. Reita moaned as warmth spread throughout his body.

Shinya stepped outside to find snowballs flying every direction. He looked over to see Toshiya dumping snow down Miyavi's shirt as Melody threw some at his face. Uruha and Ruki were ganging up on Tsuzuku, but then Hiroto and Byou came up behind them with snow balls to throw at them. Shinya was laughing a little until a snowball hit him in the chest. He looked up to see Shou smirking at him as he threw another one.

Everyone was laughing as they chased each other around for a good ten minutes. Kai had rolled off Reita's body and started piling snow on him. Reita quickly jumped up to tackle him. IV and Takeru stood at each other's backs as they threw snowballs at everyone. Takeru spotted Kaoru stepping out and he smiled. He threw the ball right at the alpha, but Kaoru quickly stepped to the side only for it to hit Kyo right in the face. Everyone stopped moving and stared at him. He wiped the snow off his scowling face as he started walking forward.

"Get to work." He growled and everyone jumped to their feet to head out. Kai helped Reita up to his feet and helped wipe him off.

"Can we bathe together tonight?" Reita asked in a soft voice. His face was turning pink.

"If you're comfortable with that. Though I might react a little too strongly if I see you naked."

Reita's face turned a deep red. "I won't mind."

"Alright love birds, knock it off!" Byou shouted patting Kai's back. "Time to head out."

They walked out with their hands together as everyone started splitting up to go to work. Nao glared at the mates and let out a low growl. As they approached the café, he ran between them, breaking their hands apart, and hung onto to Kai's arm. Reita felt a sudden rage fill his body.

"Nao…" Kai said calmly. "You can't do this anymore."

"But, we're still friends right?"

"Yes. Head inside, I'll be in in a minute." Kai ordered and waited until he was inside before turning to a fuming Reita. He rubbed the blonde's arms and smiled. "I'll take care of him today, I promise. Now, tonight I'd like to get a little more intimate. Why don't we sleep in one of the private rooms upstairs?"

Reita blushed and smiled. "I'd like that."

Kai leaned down and captured the blonde's lips one more time before parting with him.

Byou kept nudging at Reita and picking at him as they made their way up to the clinic. Shinya unlocked the door to let them in and they all stepped into the break room. As they started walking out, Shinya gripped Reita's arm to stop him. They waited for the room to clear out before Shinya started talking.

"Reita, there's something I need to tell you." He said softly. "Maybe you should sit down." The blonde did as he was told and Shinya sat on the floor in front of him. Reita was becoming nervous. "It's about the ultrasound you had yesterday."

"So you did find something wrong with me." He mumbled.

"No! No not at all. There is absolutely nothing wrong, but…do you remember that scar I pointed out to you?"

"Yes." Reita started to fidget, but Shinya wrapped his hands around Reita's and gave a soft smile.

"Reita…you had a surgery done that… how should I put this? Before that surgery you were a carrier. Whoever did it took…they made it where you wouldn't be able to have children anymore."

Reita clenched his fists. "So…there is something else broken with me."

"No Reita. Listen, not many males can have children anyways. If anything, you can tell everyone you were never a carrier and it would be perfectly fine."

"But Kai…"

"Will still be you're alpha. If you two truly have a bond then this shouldn't have any effect on him. It might make him sad, but he won't suddenly hate you or anything like that."

Tears were dripping down Reita's cheeks. "Why…why did he do this me?"

"Reita…"

"Why did my master break me like this? Why?"

"You're not broken, Reita."

"I can't change into my wolf form! I can't have a child! My internal clock is jacked up!" Reita cried out. "Why did he do this to me?"

Byou, Hiroto, and Shou had been standing outside the door listening in silence. Byou clenched his fists in anger as Shou glared into the floor and Hiroto blinked his tears away. If they ever met the man who did this to their family they would kill him.

Kai smiled as his last costumer left so he could lock up. Ruki was breaking down the register as Nao and Hitsugi began cleaning up. He was worried about Reita. He felt his mate suddenly become sad shortly after they had split up. He rubbed his neck looking at Nao. Ruki cleared his throat before nodding his head toward the omegas.

"Hitsugi, go clean the kitchen. Nao, come with me." Kai ordered and walked out to the dining room with Nao close behind. They sat across from each other at a table. Nao was smiling softly at the alpha which made Kai feel slightly guilty.

"Nao, you need to listen to what I have to say. This will hurt your feelings, but you must understand. We can't be together. Reita and I have become mates now."

"But…he's an outsider!" Nao shouted earning a glare from the alpha. "He doesn't deserve you."

"Nao." Kai growled. "You have to stop. You have to get this obsession of us being together out of your head. Reita is a member of our pack now. He's our family. He's my mate and soon we'll be bonded."

"No." Nao whimpered. "You were supposed to be with me. We were supposed to be mates."

"Please Nao, stop this. I'm begging you. If you don't I won't have any choice but have Kyo deal with you." Kai sighed. "Nao, answer me, are you going to stop this?"

"We…you were supposed to be with me not him."

The brunette shook his head and closed his eyes as he stood up. He took a deep breathe before asking the question he's been wanting the answer to. "The night that Reita got hurt, were you the one who did it?"

Nao bit his lip and looked at the floor. Kai shook his head. "Don't come near me or Reita until you have it in your head that we will never be together. I'm going to ask Kyo to move you to Melody's store for a couple of weeks."

"Kai…" Nao whimpered.

"Be quiet Nao!" Kai growled. He exerted an intense pressure and glared down at the omega. "If you ever touch Reita again, I will kill you."

Nao's body shook under Kai's intensity. Something wasn't right. Kai was angry with him and it scared him. Kai wouldn't be angry if Reita wasn't around. 'This is all that outsider's fault. He took my Kai away from me.'

Ruki stepped out of the back room to find Nao shaking under Kai's stare. He walked over and gripped Kai's shoulder. The brunette turned his glare to Ruki.

"Enough, Kai."

"I won't let him hurt Reita again." He growled. He pulled from his friend's grip and walked towards the door. "Get Hitsugi, we're leaving."

"…all his fault." Nao whispered as the alphas walked away. "It's all his fault. He took my Kai away from me. He's gonna pay…I'm gonna make him pay…"

Shinya and the others entered the factory compound and headed inside where it was warm. Shinya watched as Reita walked with his head down until Uruha came up to him. He watched as they headed upstairs to talk in private. Shinya walked across the foyer to his and Kyo's private room where he found his mate speaking with Kai. He walked closer as the conversation continued.

"Kyo, I'm sorry for threatening him, but if he goes near Reita I will explode. I was so close to beating him right then and there."

"It is not your job to punish members of this pack. I will have a word with Nao after we're done here. He won't touch Reita again. I will ask Melody if she has a position for him there."

Kai nodded and noticed the third presence there. He smiled at Shinya. "Reita's home. Good I need to find out what's bothering him."

Shinya nodded. "I know what it is. I told him something. I thought it was too soon and I was right. I'm sorry I caused him to be upset and now he's just torn up inside."

"What did you tell him?" Kai growled.

Shinya sighed. "Kai, you two aren't bonded yet, so really I don't have a right to tell you. Reita will though. He told me he was going let you know tonight. It's best to hear it from him anyways."

Kai accepted the answer and looked over at Kyo who also nodded. The pack leader scratched the back of his head as he began to speak. "I got a hold of Yoshiki. He and his pack will be here tomorrow morning and will visit for the next week. Saga and Teru both agreed to help Reita while they were here. So Kai you may not get to spend a whole bunch of time with him while they're here."

"If it'll help Reita, then I'll endure it. I want him to—" Kai was suddenly cut off by a distant scream and the sound wolves howling in pain.

When they got home, Reita had grabbed Uruha's hand and lead him to the room on the fourth floor. He walked out to the balcony and leant against the ledge. The honey blonde stepped forward and they looked out at the city. It was quiet at first until Reita started to cry. His eyes were already puffy and Uruha felt his heart ache at the scene. He quickly pulled his friend into a hug and Reita told him everything. Uruha petted his friend's head.

"I know you must be in pain. But maybe it's for the best."

"The best?" Reita whimpered.

Uruha nodded. "Having kids isn't that fantastic, I mean it's wonderful but a pain at the same time. Just ask Melody and Miyavi. They have two daughters of their own."

They were so distracted the whole way up that they hadn't noticed Nao following them up to the room. The young omega was listening outside the door.

"They have kids? Where are they then?" Reita asked.

"Well, it's long a story. You remember when I told you another wolf pack lived here? On the other side of the city."

"Yes I remember."

"It has to do with them. It was about three years ago." Uruha started.

'Reita took my Kai away from me. If he wasn't here, Kai would be mine again.' A low growl left Nao's chest as he slowly stepped into the room. The two heard him and turned to look at him. Uruha stepped forward at the growling omega.

"Nao, go back downstairs. We're talking in private."

"You leave." Nao snapped. "You're in the way." His growling grew louder and his body began to change forms. Reita felt a pain in his chest and gripped his shirt. Nao's brown and white wolf form stepped forward and he growled deeper. Uruha took a step back not wanting to fight, but flinched when he heard a whimper behind him. He turned to find Reita on his knees breathing erratically. Both his hands were gripping his chest and his face was blood red. His face was glistening with sweat as he looked up at Uruha.

"I-it hurts!" He cried out.

Nao growled as he charged forward and jumped in the air to attack the blonde.

"No stop!" Uruha screamed out. Reita blinked and his eyes were suddenly yellow and black. His body jumped in the air as it changed into his snow white wolf form and he collided with Nao. They began biting and clawing at each other. Blood splattered across the floor and onto Uruha's face. The honey blonde dashed to the door and out to the hallway. He needed to the get help and fast. He made it down one flight of steps before running into Ruki who was starting to transform at the site of his mate and Toshiya was right behind him.

"Nao attacked Reita and now they're fighting. You have to stop them before they kill each other."

Ruki let out a growl as they rushed to the source of the commotion. They made it to the doorway where they found the two circling each other and growling. Their fur was standing, tails raised, and ears down. They were about to attack again.

"Reita, Nao enough!" Ruki ordered. Nao perked up at Ruki's voice, but Reita charged in ignoring it. Nao quickly fought back as the white wolf started biting him.

"Shit! Reita stop it! That's an order!" Toshiya growled but it fell on deaf ears as the two omegas rolled over each other. Kyo and Kai suddenly pushed their way in and saw the scene.

Kyo barked at them. "Enough. Stand down!"

Nao whimpered and lowered his head as he dropped his tail between his legs. Reita turned and looked at the alphas standing before him. Kai gave a small smile as he stepped forward. "Come on Reita. It's over now you can change back into your human form."

The white wolf let out a low growl as he stepped forward and let out a loud one as he lunged forward. Kai raised his hand on instinct and Reita bit down on his arm as he tackled the alpha to the floor.

"Reita stop! It's me, it's Kai!" He shouted but the white wolf only bit down harder. Kyo quickly changed into his black and brown form and tackled the white wolf off. Reita snapped at him, but Kyo bit his neck and slammed him into the wall, knocking him out.

"Reita!" Kai shouted but the wolf stayed motionless as Kyo changed back.

"Shinya, tend to Kai and get Byou to take care of Nao. Toshiya, Ruki help me get Reita downstairs. We're locking him up."

"Kyo…"Kai whimpered but was silenced by his leader's glare.

"Let's hurry before he wakes back up." Kyo said and the three of them gathered around the wolf to lift it up. "Shinya tell Byou to lock Nao up once he's finished with him. Uruha, tell me what happened."

A few hours later Kai opened up the slot to the locked door and watched as the white wolf paced around the room. He closed the slit and rubbed his bandaged arm.

"Kai?" Uruha whispered next to him. "Are you okay?"

"Why did he attack me? It was as if he didn't even know me."

"Are you going to stand here all night?" Kyo asked as he stepped up to the doorway.

"I'm just trying to figure out why he did this." Kai sighed. "Why hasn't he changed back? He needs to explain to us what happened."

"Maybe he can't change back." Uruha mumbled. "Maybe he's stuck like this."

Kai pressed his head against the door. "I can't even feel him anymore. He won't let me in."

"He closed you off?" Kyo asked in surprise and Kai nodded his head.

"It's hurts. Not being about to feel him. Not being able to know if he's okay or not. Not being able to go near him."

"We'll figure this out." Kyo said patting his back. They looked back at Reita one last time before closing the slit in the door.
