Chapter 4: Proposal

Arriving in the hallway where they were about 20 minutes ago, Kurt and Aria saw their friends talking to each other. Obviously, they took advantage of this moment to sympathize and find out if they have something in common or not. It also seems that Blaine took the lead in explaining what happened, according to him of course. He himself does not know what happened, so he simply gave explanations that may justify why Aria suddenly turned into a huge, redeyes-eyed black wolf. He didn't really give explanations for Kurt, preferring that he did.

Blaine was the first to notice they were coming back. He went directly to meet them, taking the time to introduce himself to Aria and briefly explained what he had already explained. Kurt nodded and so did Aria, understanding that these little explanations are better than none. Kurt looked in the direction of his pack, tacitly asking them to leave them alone. Blaine understood the message directly and went to direct them into a quieter corner, away from all this agitation.

Aria's friends went to her, wanting to know what happened. Aria sighed and looked around her, looking for an empty room where they could chat quietly. In doing so, she saw Ezra leaving his class. He barely has time to lock her up that he sees Aria right next to him, taking the keys from his hands and whispering that he will have explanations later. Kurt was impressed by Aria's direct side, even though he already knew it. She does not like to wait and knows how to make herself understood when it is necessary.

Kurt followed them into this class, wanting to be there to help Aria explain. Even if she's already thought about it, it's still hard for her. After all, she lied to them for ten years, hiding her true nature. It's dangerous for a werewolf. Denying your instincts for so long can trigger outbursts of insanity or uncontrollable rage. If this situation had already happened, Kurt would have been informed very quickly, especially thanks to the pheromones released by Aria and especially he would have been warned by the local police. He's the other Alpha in the pack, so it's normal for him to know about this kind of skid.

But, he was not warned of anything and Aria emits no particular pheromone. It seems she didn't deny her instincts, just keeping them under control and letting them express themselves when no one was watching her. She must, surely, also have a little ritual about her instincts or senses. Kurt doesn't have a chance to ask him yet, but it's not that important. This kind of ritual is unique to everyone and few are willing to share it.

Kurt looked at Aria giving all the necessary explanations and intervening only if necessary. All the girls in the room looked at him funny. It's normal, he's a stranger to them and with all the harassment they've been through this past year, he's potentially considered a danger. Aria was sure to tell them that this guy was arrested just half an hour ago, so this whole thing is over. Kurt is not surprised to hear them utter a huge sigh of relief. Otherwise, apart from giving some additional information, he just watched the conversation. In doing so, he listened attentively to their heart rhythms, wanting to know if they are scared or not.

Aria finished her speech almost quickly, wanting to have them back. She expected a lot of things. Incomprehension, fear, even denial. Taking on such big news is not easy. There are a lot of emotions going through their heads and they seem to have a hard time finding a word. Finally, Spencer decided to speak.

"Ok. .wow... I admit I didn't expect that. In fact, I don't think any of us expected that. But, honestly, I think I suspected a little bit. I've always been very observant by nature and I've noticed that sometimes your behavior is weird. You seemed to have a kind of grunt in you. I've heard it before, but I didn't want to say anything. And then, you've always been hyperconscious of your surroundings. You've always been strong at hiding it, but there are signs that don't deceive. For example, you would often raise your head, as if you had heard a noise. And now I realize that. You really heard a noise and made sure there was no danger. Besides, you've always been protective, especially towards us, I think. And then, the reaction you had when you first saw Ezra. You literally froze on the spot. Nobody could make you react".

At the end of Spencer's explanation, Kurt burst out laughing, but quickly recovered when he saw Aria's black look. He was busy imagining her, frozen in place and everyone around her busy trying to make her react. At this thought, Aria began to blush, feeling embarrassed for what had happened. But it was a reaction that she had no control over. She didn't know how she was going to react, no one can know. Kurt decided to give the explanation of the impregnation, for he saw that Aria seemed to have temporarily lost the ability to speak.

'This reaction is, perhaps, a bit difficult to understand. It's a phenomenon called impregnation and it affects all werewolves, regardless of their status. To put it simply, it's when we find our partner for our whole life. It's also when an Alpha finds his Beta. That's what happened to Aria. She's an Alpha and this man is her Beta. I mean, her future Beta, if he accepts the bite, otherwise we're just talking about boyfriend. Although I'm not sure if the term Beta also applies to humans who accept the relationship with the Alpha, but not the bite".

Aria had listened carefully to what Kurt had said, agreeing on all points. But, she still wanted to bring some other information, to make sure everything is clear.

"Yes, the term Beta is for a human who accepts the Alpha relationship but not the bite. In fact, they usually accept the bite. It's not a tradition or anything, but really something they want, to be fully connected to the Alpha. We werewolves have our own way of loving. In fact, it's really something very strong that nothing can break. The same is true of the bonds that bind the members of a pack. They are very strong and nothing and no one can break them."

Aria arrived at the fateful question. Taking a few seconds to think about how to ask this question, she saw Ezra enter the classroom through the back door. He was accompanied by Toby and Caleb. They were involved as well, and they seemed to be very familiar with the main details. Aria watched them sit and stared at Ezra for a few seconds. He looked away almost instantly, not appreciating too much what Aria's look meant. After all, he knows that her Alpha instincts make her dominating and possessive. And that's exactly what his look meant. She tried, unconsciously of course, to impose her domination on Ezra. Luckily, she quickly recovered and continued her rebellion.

For his part, Kurt had not lost a single crumb from this short interaction. It's pretty obvious to guess what Aria was thinking when she stared Ezra right in the eyes, letting her eyes take on their characteristic red color. Ezra didn't seem afraid of it, but it's clear he wasn't very comfortable with it. At the same time, no one is comfortable when someone starts staring it straight in the eyes and especially if that same person's eyes become red.

Kurt decided to leave the room, wanting to give Aria some space. She did not know how to ask this question and her presence is absolutely not necessary. He whispered to her that he was waiting outside and that he remained at her disposal if she ever needed him. Kurt even decided not to use his hearing to listen to their conversation. This is a private matter and it is none of his business, at least not at the moment.

Aria paced in the room, under the almost amused eyes of her friends. It was the first time they saw her so nervous and almost out of control. Luckily for them, she's perfectly in control of herself, just very nervous. She ends up taking a deep breath to relax. Then she fixed her gaze on the entire room and decided to ask the question that has been burning her lips for so many years.

"Okay...so, do you accept that I bite you? Do you accept that you become werewolves and be part of my pack? I mean, when I say my pack, it's not just my pack. It's also Kurt's pack. Anyway, I'm getting lost. You don't have to give me your answer right away. Take the time to think about it. I know this is big news and a very difficult decision to make."

While Aria was waiting for their answer, Kurt was looking around in the hallway. This school looks like all the other schools he could have crossed, except that the colors of their team is different. Kurt sighed and saw Blaine arrive. He must have wondered what he was taking so long, although he already had an idea. Kurt drew him against him and kissed him, also making him understand that everything is going well and that he should not worry.

Blaine has always been someone who worries very quickly, for whatever reason. With time and his new werewolf condition, he learned to control his anxiety and stay calm in stressful moments. But, at times like this, his anxiety always takes over and he sometimes struggles to calm down. Kurt has always been there to help him through these moments, having also taught him some breathing exercises that can be useful. Thanks to all of this, Blaine learned to be perfectly in control of himself, leaving almost no trace of his concern.

However, at that moment, Blaine could not calm down. He did it for about 20 minutes, but now he doesn't know what to do. Although he is Beta, he has almost no authority over the Omega who have been bitten by Kurt and he wonders if it will be the same with the possible new Omega that will happen. There's no guarantee they'll accept Aria biting them, but it's still a possibility.

"You mustn't worry. I don't know them, but they seem kind and attentive. Once they learn the hierarchy of a pack, everything should be fine. Moreover, an upgrade for them would not be too much either. I know you're having a hard time holding authority over them and they don't seem to care about your status as a Beta. I should settle this before I go to practice."

"You know, nothing says that they will accept being bitten. I spent 20 minutes with them, and during those 20 minutes, I had to explain to them what they had just seen. I was only detecting very little bit of fear, but it's still fear. They also seemed to have a lot of trouble believing what I was saying, but I think that now they believe it. I didn't go into details, it would have been even more difficult to understand, but maybe I could have".

Kurt shook his head at Blaine's last sentence. Going into details, after learning such big news, is not a good idea. Already that they had just discovered such a big secret about their friend, giving them too many details would have been counterproductive.

A few minutes later, Kurt saw Aria come out. She motioned for them to follow her and led them into another empty classroom. She seems to know this place like the back of her hand. Aria went to sit at a table and saw Kurt and Blaine do the same. Her gaze was rather cloudy, as if she was still analyzing what had just happened.

"Well, they told me they were going to give me their answer tomorrow. I took the time to explain everything to them, telling them to think carefully because it's a big decision to make. Whatever the answer, if it was taken on a whim, it won't count. There are a lot of factors that come into play that can lead them to refuse my question, to say no to me. That's why I said it was better that they take the time to think about it, with a clear head. That they ask all the pros and cons. That's why they told me that they were going to answer me tomorrow. And, to tell the truth, I prefer that rather than having an answer directly".

Kurt and Blaine nodded, understanding the logic behind it all. It is better to have a thoughtful response than a response taken on the spot, full of emotions and feelings that cloud their thinking. Aria took a deep breath again and stared at Blaine who lowered his eyes in respect. He's never done it with Kurt, but this is the first time he's met a foreign Alpha and feels it appropriate to show that mark of respect. Few Alphas are faithful to this rule, but the instincts of Betas sometimes cause them to do so.

Kurt noticed what was happening and saw that Aria's gaze was still a bit cloudy, although it was clearing up pretty quickly. She doesn't know Blaine and she's busy sizing him up, which is pretty normal behavior for an Alpha to see a foreign werewolf in their territory. Kurt was careful though, not wanting a fight to break out. He knows Aria, but he hasn't seen her for a long time. He doesn't know if his character has changed over time. She's always been naturally overbearing and possessive, so she may not like a werewolf she doesn't know coming into her territory.

Aria shook her head, coming out of her thoughts and realizing what she was doing. She was surprised and was consumed in a flood of apologies. Kurt went to reassure her directly, having understood that she was just lost in her thoughts and her gaze had fixed on a point without her really wanting it.

Blaine looked up, feeling embarrassed at what he had done. He didn't want to look down, but his instincts took over. He always had a deep respect for the people he meets, whatever their nature, so it seemed natural to him to do that. But, who says that's what Aria wanted? Kurt ran his hand down his back, reassuring him with the gesture. He wants him to understand that it's okay to have done that, that it's just a completely natural reaction.

"It's not your fault. It's a natural reaction you had. You're a Beta, it's normal for you to react like that when an Alpha stares at you. Whether it's me, Aria or another Alpha, your reaction would have been the same."

Blaine nodded, still slightly embarrassed about what just happened. After a few seconds, everyone heard shouting, as if people were arguing. Kurt sighed and Blaine rolled his eyes. It's obvious that they know what's going on and even that it's something quite regular. Aria stared at them with wide eyes, not understanding where the screams were coming from. However, she doesn't have time to ask any questions, because she sees two big wolves, a brown and a blond, tumbling in front of them. Their posture is in aggressiveness and a fight does not seem to take long to start.

Blaine jumped between them, almost effectively separating them and Kurt let out a loud growl of warning, stopping the argument. The wolves continued to growl at each other, but began to walk away, reverting to human form at the same time. Aria then saw that it was about two girls who didn't seem to like each other. She looked back at Kurt, wanting to know the reason for this argument and especially to know why he didn't look surprised at all.

"Don't worry, I'm used to that. They're two Omegas of the pack. The brunette's name is Rachel and the blonde's name is Quinn. They don't like each other and are always looking for an excuse to arguing and fighting. I have to separate them several times a day. They've hurt Blaine before, but it was an accident. Of course, that doesn't excuse them."

"Accident or not, it's not done. An Omega has no right to be aggressive towards a Beta and must not hurt him. I don't know if they know the hierarchy of a pack, but, knowing you, I know you taught them".

"Yeah, I taught them, but they don't care. They don't care about the respect you have to show a Beta, because they consider Blaine weak. I have to put it off level, to set things straight, but I don't know if it's going to work".

Aria sighed, understanding what Kurt had just said. There's nothing worse than Omegas who think they can do anything and hurt a Beta. Betas often play the role of mediator when it comes to settling a conflict. She understands that Kurt is desperate and that he doesn't know what to do anymore.

"I'll help you with that. We're both Alphas in this pack, so I think I can teach them the hierarchy as well. Like you said, it'll be a refresher and, if ever my friends accept the bite, it will also be a practice. In any case, I will help you, help you, with this problem. Just hearing about it, it annoys me".

Kurt laughed and hugged her. Blaine followed suit, feeling much more relaxed than before. The day was ending, so they say goodbye and everyone goes home. Finally, Kurt and Blaine return to the hotel where they are staying while Aria returns to her house. She picked up Mike at his practice, because he asked her to do this this morning and he would blame her all his life if she forgot.

The next morning, Aria woke up and saw a message from Ezra. He asked her to go to his house, not failing to send her the address so that she could come. He didn't give any further details, so Aria was a little stressed. He may very well tell her that he refuses the bite and maybe even the relationship. There is nothing worse for an Alpha than knowing that their future Beta refuses the relationship. It's a feeling worse than a broken heart, because imprinting only happens once in a werewolf's life. It would be losing his partner if he refuses.

Aria decided not to think about this possibility, because she feels that Ezra is a nice person and that he is not the type to refuse a relationship. So she jumped out of bed and hurried off to take a shower. She got dressed just as quickly and put on her foundation, not feeling ready to reveal that huge scar just yet. She logged Ezra's address into her phone and went downstairs to the kitchen. She prepared a bowl of fruit and a glass of milk, finding that to be enough for this morning. She ate quickly and headed for the hall. She put on her jacket, took her car keys and jumped into her car. She switched on the ignition, started and went directly to Ezra. She seemed to be on autopilot, letting her instincts decide for her.

Arriving at Ezra's house, Aria didn't bother to knock and wait for him to open the door. She opened the door with a loud slam that surprised Ezra. As she entered the room, Aria's eyes turned red, showing that her instincts were guiding her, although she was in complete control of them. She felt Ezra's heart beating, his heart rate quickening with every second. Ezra was lost, because he didn't expect to find her in this state. Aria went to throw herself against him, resisting the urge to bite his collarbone, because it would be biting him against his will. She took the bottom of his t-shirt and pulled it up to pull it off. In doing so, she left large claw marks that bled slowly. She didn't think about it and kissed Ezra wildly, while biting his lip. The pressure exerted is not strong enough for this bite to make him a werewolf.

Aria pushed Ezra against the table, starting to undo the button on his jeans. She hadn't stopped kissing him, preventing him from speaking. However, she still ensured his consent by stopping his caresses. She got up and saw Ezra nod very quickly, encouraging her to continue, which she did. Aria took off her bra and used it as an improvised rope to keep Ezra close to her. Now, pelvis against pelvis, their bodies were one, each taking the pleasure he wants to take and giving his partner the pleasure he wants. Several minutes later, both stood up, covered in sweat and breathless. Aria's eyes return to their green color, while Ezra picks up the objects that had fallen on the ground. They both laughed, realizing what they had just done and that it hadn't bothered them. The only people it could have bothered were the neighbours, as they were quite noisy.

While getting dressed, Aria quickly drops blood on the table and Ezra's torn t-shirt that was still on the floor. She picked it up and saw that it was also stained with blood and that she was responsible for it. She turned and saw Ezra tidying up the kitchen a bit. His body was covered with bruises and fine cuts. He had, of course, noticed it, but hadn't commented. In fact, he completely accepted that it's Aria's instincts that are responsible for it and that it's just small cuts. It's nothing serious, it will just take a few days to heal. But, for Aria, it's more serious, because she hurt the one she loves. She rushed into the bathroom, looking for a first aid kit. Once she found it, she returned to the living room and shoved Ezra into the nearest chair, starting to draw blood from his cuts.

"Hey, take it easy, calm down. Bringing you here, I kinda expected that. And, that's okay, I've had injuries worse than that. You don't need to excite like that'.

Ezra held Aria's wrists in a firm, gentle grip, wanting to stop her from what she was doing. Of course, he knows it's not advisable to do that to an Alpha, because he might take it for a gesture of dominance and therefore be pissed off. But, Aria stopped right there and looked him straight in the eyes. She finally nodded, still covering up the wounds she had made. She also went to get a new t-shirt for Ezra, as the one he wore before is no longer wearable.

"Well, let's get down to business. If I brought you here, it's because I made my decision, but I think you already suspected it a little. In fact, we discussed it at length between us and I was designated as the one who was going to bring you the message. In fact, it was easier for us, so you didn't have to go to everyone's house, because it would have taken you a lot of time. Anyway, the answer is yes. I already had some knowledge of werewolves, so I was able to contribute my expertise. I wouldn't say that's what made tip the scales, but the important thing is that the answer is yes".

Aria's eyes widened and she hugged Ezra, hugging him tighter than she could, almost choking him. She feels a sense of joy that she had never felt before. Ever since she arrived in Rosewood, she had dreamed of building her pack by biting her friends, but she never thought it would ever be possible. So hearing this news filled her with enormous joy.

Aria began to think about how she was going to bite them. Will she bring them together in one place? Or is she going to go to each one of them and bite them? In any case, she must prepare everything well, to be sure that the incubation period goes well. She pulled out her phone and told Kurt immediately. As they were talking yesterday, they exchanged phone numbers so they could keep in touch. Kurt answered him instantly, which was no wonder of him. Aria gave him a place to meet so she could talk about it. She asks Ezra if he wants to come, because, even if he is not yet a werewolf, he is already her Beta. Unsurprisingly, he accepted and went to change. It was the first time he was going to meet Kurt, so he wanted to look presentable.

Aria and Ezra find Kurt at a bar. He and Blaine didn't know the city, so it seemed only natural for Aria to give them a meeting place, as well as give them the address. It's no wonder Kurt and Blaine are there before them. They must have been up for some time already. They didn't need to really prepare themselves, except to put on a jacket to be able to face the freezing cold of the morning.

Kurt stood up to say hello and Blaine did the same. Aria sat down directly and Ezra remained standing, wondering what he should do. Aria tugged on his arm and gestured to an empty chair, prompting him to sit down next to her. He did it directly, still confused by what happened an hour earlier. Although he knows a little about werewolves, he doesn't know what it's really like to be in a pack, to become a Beta. He doesn't even know how the transformation from human to werewolf happens. All he knows is that he must have been bitten by an Alpha, but he has no further details. Ezra shook his head, snapping out of the thoughts he had been lost in, as he heard Aria speaking. She was explaining the situation to Kurt, wanting him to give her some advice.

Kurt leaned forward on the table, listening intently to Aria. It's no wonder she doesn't know how, because she never really thought about having a pack. Of course, this idea crossed her mind, but she never really decided to do it. She always thought she would live in hiding, having to go to deserted places to let her instincts express themselves without constraints. And, here she is, about to have a pack, to have to bite her friends. It is normal that she is completely lost and that she comes to seek advice from someone she knows who has already been there.

After Aria's explanation finished, Kurt took a few seconds to think. Since his friends know nothing about all this, it is better to find a moment to really explain everything to them, so that they know what they are getting into. They should be made aware of the incubation period. It's the week after the bite, where the future werewolf will be in a flu-like state, while everything develops.

"Ok, okay, I think I know how to kill two birds with one stone. It's better to get them together in one place, big enough to contain them all, and take the time to explain everything to them. I don't think that they really know what they are getting into and it would be wrong not to tell them all the pros and cons. For example, the incubation period. If we don't tell them about it, they will be surprised when they are going to be sick for the whole week following the bite. So, I advocate explanations first, then their explicit consent and, if everyone agrees, we end with the bite. Of course, I would leave the honor to you to bite them".

Aria nodded sharply, understanding Kurt's argument. She had already thought about explaining everything to them, but she didn't know when was the best time. Doing it before they get bitten is the best idea, as it will allow them to understand a lot of it. The rest of the understanding is acquired through experience.

"Yeah, you're right. It's the best thing to do. And, just to know, whether it's you or me biting them, won't that change the bond they have with us?"

"No, it won't change the bonds they will have with us. We are both the Alphas of this pack, they will be bonded to us. For example, the Omegas that I have already bitten are bonded to you, even if they don't know you. They'll be sensitive to you as Alpha, like those who join the pack today will be sensitive to me as Alpha. Our status is our status and the Omegas don't care, big part, by whom they were bitten. The only one who will have a real strong bond with you is your Beta. But you already know that".

Aria nodded again, feeling reassured. She was afraid that the future Omegas who would join the pack had no connection with Kurt. That would exclude him from that part of the pack and that's not something she wants. Now that they have found each other, they are not going to let go. Aria pulled out her phone and began to send various messages, indicating a meeting place and that Kurt would be present to give further explanations and to witness the bite, only if they agreed. All the responses she received are positive, so Aria is satisfied.

Throughout this long discussion, Blaine had been staring at Ezra and then very quickly decided to get to know him. After all, it's a future Beta, so they might spend some time together. And, there's nothing worse than getting stuck with someone you don't know. And then, despite his little stress problems generated by past problems, Blaine has always been a sociable person, loving to make new friends. It is therefore not surprising that he becomes acquainted with Ezra, asking him several questions and listening to his answers attentively. Ezra didn't seem bothered by that, because he was also getting to know someone he didn't know and discovering new people is always a pleasure for him.

Two hours later, Aria and Kurt went to a hotel room that Kurt was able to privatize for an afternoon. This discussion was surely going to be long and then, there is also time for the bite to take place. Kurt felt that Aria was getting more and more nervous, but she was focused and didn't let her nervousness show. In fact, only werewolves can perceive it, because their sense of smell is powerful enough to recognize the pheromones released by emotions and feelings. Aria has always been good at hiding her emotions if she wanted to, but only hiding them for humans. A werewolf would have quickly understood what she was hiding, but few would have said anything.

Emily was the first to arrive, accompanied by Alison, who wouldn't let go. Hanna followed, accompanied by Caleb and Spencer arrived last, accompanied by Toby. All had dressed in light clothes and with short sleeves. Surely they thought the bite is on the arm and they're right. It is often on this area that the Alphas choose to bite people, but some are, sometimes, more innovative. There have already been cases of bites on the leg, another classic but little used area. Others reported being bitten on the torso, especially on the flanks and sometimes on the shoulders. Shoulder bites are also considered classic but very often used. On the other hand, bites on the flanks are very dangerous and have often been reported in cases of attacks by wild werewolves who bite only for pleasure. It's like hunting, except they don't kill their prey. They are content to see them transform and become completely out of control because their transformation has not been accompanied and they have no one to give them advice.

Once they were all settled and listening, Aria began to give them the explanations they needed. Kurt was leaning against the wall and listening to him, keeping an eye to the side. Indeed, Rachel and Quinn are not far away and he hears them arguing. He's tasked Blaine with keeping them under surveillance and letting him know if there's any trouble. But, he also told him that he can handle arguments, if he knows they are safe. He also asked Finn to help him with any problems. Thus, he thinks he has made sure not to be disturbed, even if he knows that zero risk does not exist. There's always a small chance that their argument will get too big and he'll have to step in to limit the damage. Two werewolves fighting can cause serious damage, so he is always attentive to their argument.

It seems that Aria hears their argument and it makes her lose track of what she was saying. Kurt excused himself and walked out of the room, wanting to settle the dispute before it broke out into a fight. He returned less than two minutes later, hoping to see them calm down. When he entered, Aria had resumed her explanation, going into great detail. It is important for them to have all these details. Without them, things are going to happen to them that they wouldn't understand.

Aria arrived about the incubation period and began to search for her words. They didn't really know how to explain it, since she had never experienced it. She was born a werewolf and so was Kurt. There is no incubation period for those born werewolves. She turned her gaze to Kurt, asking him to help her. He walked into the room and spoke, knowing a little more about the subject than Aria.

"The last thing you need to know is that there is a so-called incubation period. During this period, you are going to be in a kind of flu-like state, as if you were sick, but you will not be not. In fact, once bitten, your body will begin to change directly, to adapt to your new werewolf condition. All these changes require a huge consumption of energy from your body, that's why you will be in this state. It is a moment of adaptation in which all the parts that make up the werewolf will appear. It is also in this moment that your senses will sharpen and become more powerful and more efficient. But, don't worry, it doesn't last long. This period extends over the whole week following the bite. So, from the day after your bite, so tomorrow normally, this period will begin. And, a week later, it will be over."

Aria nodded, returning her gaze to the assembly. Everyone seemed quite surprised but not scared. After all, they said yes to the bite, they must have prepared for it, both physically and mentally. None of them seemed to want to back down, so Aria was more than happy. She remembered a last piece of information to give and rushed over, for fear of forgetting it.

"One last thing. Once this incubation period is over, your senses will be much sharper than they are now. So you're probably going to be unsettled as you get used to it. At that time, you would stay calm and come see us. We'll help you adjust. We'll train you, teach you everything you need to know. So you don't have to worry about that. I know that It's going to be difficult, but you'll have to stay calm."

Everyone nodded and most rolled up what little sleeve there was on the arm. Some even take a deep breath, preparing for the pain that is inevitable. A bite is still a bite, whether it is made by a werewolf or a wild animal, whether it is made by a friend or a foe. Whatever the origin of the bite, the pain will remain, only we don't know its intensity. But, Kurt, foresighted at heart, had pulled a painkiller from his pocket. He had also prepared small bottles of water to dispense the pills. He knows it hurts, and he wants to avoid as much pain as possible. It was one of Aria's fears, that the bite would hurt them. But, Kurt was able to be comforting, telling her that he was going to prepare. And, that's what he did.

Aria took a deep breath, letting her green eyes take on their characteristic red color and bared her fangs. Everyone saw his 10cm long canines and they were surprised for a microsecond then remembered Aria's explanation of the differences between the different statuses. Alphas have the longest claws and canines. Then come the Betas and then the Omegas.

Aria took the arm of the person closest to her and bit her. She did this for everyone present, having always made sure to have their explicit consent. Once everyone was bitten, Aria and Kurt sent them home with a mission to rest. They will come by in the evening to see how they are doing and they will come back tomorrow to see if the incubation period has started.

Watching everyone leave, Aria sat down in a chair, a big smile covering her features. She's more than happy and Kurt can feel it. He too shares his joy. The pack is growing. There's nothing better for an Alpha than seeing their pack grow.

Now they will have to think about the training they will give, as well as the necessary upgrade for the Omegas bitten by Kurt. They are sorely disrespectful of others, especially the authority figures of the pack, the Betas. One thing is certain, the next few weeks promise to be filled with twists and turns.
