It would be a lie to say Seungmin wasn't absolutely terrified of the alpha that bought him.

He was scared, battered and bruised and he now had to deal with being a slave for the rest of his life.

However he couldn't help but think that maybe, just maybe he would be treated better than the ones who sold him.

The beta, for as long as he remembers, had always been an orphan and lived in a poor, rotting orphanage where they'd sleep in groups on the concrete ground, shivering and clutching onto one another for warmth and scramble for molded bread for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Until he grew too old and was kicked out into the cruel world. He lasted three days before he was forced into a cage, to be sold to rich, old, geezers.

When his cage opened, he noticed he was the only wolf left, and his collar was tugged, dragging him onto his feet followed by the words 'you have a new master to serve now,' Seungmin remained calm and collected.

There was no use in causing a scene or in trying to escape.

He had nowhere else to go.

Admittedly, he didn't expect to be sold to a wolf, let alone the Alpha of all wolves.

Were the rumours about him true then?

Was he as cruel and violent as they say he is?

What was he going to do with me?

The alpha wasn't alone- he stood with five other lycans surrounding him- his pack.

So this was how he was going to spend the rest of his already miserable life...

Surprised, would be an understatement, if someone was to describe how the beta felt when he was greeted with warm, knowing smiles, his eyes widening and shoulders tensed.

The alpha- from the stories he heard, was named Christopher, had released him of his collar that was screwed shut around his neck, and had asked him to join his pack.

"You're free to do as you wish now," Christopher spoke softly, eyes filled with a tenderness and solicitude you'd only ever find in those who have seen it all. "You're no longer a slave, nor am I your master, you can finally go back to where you came from."

"I don't have anywhere to go," Seungmin croaked out, not used to speaking after being forced to stay silent.

"Then come with us. You can join our pack aswell- only if you want to. Or you can stay with us until you can make your own way, whatever you like."

Christopher was nothing like the stories.

.............................

The walk to the pack wasn't awkward like the beta expected it to be. After all, he was a stranger.

And he couldn't help but notice how unbalanced the pack's dynamic was- four alphas, two beta, three including him and not a single omega in sight. How did this pack even function without leaping at each other's throats?

He imagined them to be rough with each other, always infuriated and on edge and claiming dominance but the more time he spent observing the way they interacted, he realised how wrong he was.

This pack trusted each other blindly.

Seungmin hoped to be apart of their trust one day.

The young beta easily found his place amongst the pack, falling into easy conversation with the oldest beta, Hyunjin who'd always help him whenever he got lost in the new territory, or pulling pranks on the alphas with Jisung and Jeongin.

It was hard for Seungmin to believe Jeongin was an alpha.

The boy was too playfull and full of life to be given such a heavy label, and it seemed he grew an attachment to the younger who vibrated with energy.

And apparently he was very obvious about it with the way everyone would tease him with nudges and smirks as he curled in on himself with a bright blush on his cheeks.

So what if he had the fattest crush on him?

It was obvious to both him and Jeongin.

Now the question was if he'd act on these feelings.

And the answer was blatantly obvious.

No.

Why?

Because it was just a crush and there's no way Jeongin would like him too.
Right?

Wrong.

What Seungmin didn't realise was how often Jeongin would stare at him in awe with his eyes shining and following his every move, or the way he'd slyly make sure the beta had more than enough to eat by sharing his portion of food or whining at Changbin to hunt a little more, just so that he could catch something to share with the beta.

So one day, when the pack were busy sunbathing in the boiling summer heat, Hyunjin had just about enough of the two tiptoeing around each other and shoved the maknae who was lazing around.

Jeongin ended up flailing around until he landed on the body next to him- Seungmin.

"Now kiss," Hyunjin spoke smugly.

The young alpha gaped up at the proud beta before turning to face Seungmin who grabbed Jeongin's bread cheeks and pressed his lips against his own in a quick, almost painful peck.

Cue intense blushing.

The wolf calls from the pack didn't help their case either.

He pulled away to look Jeongin in the eye, only to find that he was still gaping dumbly.

Rolling his eyes, he pulled the alpha back in by his nape and let their lips meet in a much more gentle kiss, lips interlocking and tongues caressing fleetingly.

Jeongin smiled against him, before he pulled Seungmin closer with his hands placed on his waist, his happiness radiating off of him in waves.

Boy was he glad Chan had bought him
