Destined

More Heartbreak...

Baekhyun was proud to enter the place he once called home, even though the circumstances weren't the happiest. His head was held high as he walked past the pack's border, a small smile on his lips as he noticed many of the familiar faces were surprised to see him back so soon. A boy Baekhyun hadn't seen in years came running towards him with a pile of flowers clutched tightly in one hand while the other held on tightly to another's hand. 

"Baekhyun!" the boy cried, halting in front of the wolf he hadn't seen in months. The boy instantly dropped the hand of the other and instantly threw himself on top of the friend he never thought he would see again. "It's been so long! How is the palace?!" 

"One thing at a time Ten" Baekhyun laughed, cuddling the boy closer into his hold. His eyes narrowed when he noticed the awkward looking giant standing behind his old best friend, a smirk naturally fell on his lips as he turned back to the flowers being squished between the two of them. "I think the first thig we need to discuss is the fact that you and Johnny developed quite the close relationship when I was away!" 

Ten's cheeks flared in a bright pink hue, his arms falling against his side as he turned his head and looked up at his mate with a small smile. "I was meaning to get a letter out to you, but after everything that happened here I couldn't find the time I'm really sorry Baekhyun-" 

"Don't apologise, I'm just glad that you're okay Ten" Baekhyun sighed pulling his friend back into his arms, drawing a deep breath as he could relax now that his entire childhood hadn't been completely destroyed. "I'm glad you're still alive. When I got the letter about the plague in the mail my mind went crazy, I thought I lost you too." 

"It's going to take more than a plague to kill me Baek" Ten attempted to joke, his laughter allowing Baekhyun to release some of his own. "how long are you staying in the village for? I bet the Princes and their friend's won't be able to part from you for too long-" 

"I cant believe I'm back here in this place!" Daehyun groaned, sniffing the air with such disgust written all over his face that Baekhyun almost considered locking him up in the town hall and  leaving him there. "I hate the stench of common places." 

"Who the hell does he think he is?" Ten hissed, pulling Baekhyun closer in order to talk without the Prince hearing their conversation. Johnny (who seemed to have recognized the boy instantly) bite his lower lip in an attempt to hold back his laughter, instead he gently wrapped his arm over Ten's waist and pulled him backwards against his chest. Baekhyun looked at them both with a smile, happy to see that they were both so comfortable with each other after what seemed like so little time. 

"That's the eldest Prince Daehyun" Baekhyun found himself explaining to his best friend whose eyebrows were furrowed in confusion. "and before you ask, no he doesn't get any better." 

"Oh Baekhyun, who do we have here?" Luhan gushed, appearing next to his friend with a broad smile in Ten and Johnny's direction. Beside him was Kyungsoo and Minseok who both looked just as interested in the couple as Daehyun was in checking the town. "How long have the both of you been together now?" 

"Four months" Johnny smiled, bowing respectfully to the other omegas who had scored big in the lottery regarding the Prince's mates. "we've been expecting Baekhyun home to tell him ourselves but you must understand we weren't prepared to see such a large party with him-" 

"Trust me, neither did I." Baekhyun laughed, gazing around at the larger crowd filling up the centre of the pack village. His eyes locked with Chanyeol who had happily began a conversation with Lily (one of the omega children in the village), her cheeks were a bright red after having grabbed the Prince's attention but the moment she realised that Baekhyun had taken his attention away she couldn't help but gush.
