Baekhyun sauntered down the sidewalk, his hips swaying gracefully as he kept his body in a noble posture. His footsteps kept in time to the sultry beat of a tune no one else could hear. His elegant movement caught the attention of everyone around him, their eyes fixated on him, like they were under some kind of spell. Baekhyun smiled to himself, extremely aware of his effect on the people surrounding him. Everywhere he went it was always the same.

There wasn't a single tomcat who hadn't fantasized about finally being the one to seduce Baekhyun. The one to finally ensnare his gaze upon themselves, those dark calculating eyes that seemed to turn anyone to stone the moment they looked upon them.

Baekhyun was untouchable, and he liked it that way. He was truly a cat in every sense of the word, the ultimate example of the behavior expected from his species. However, although most people knew him by his haughty attitude and aloof behavior, his closest friends knew him to be a warm person, just a little too proud for his own good.

Junmyeon was his best friend, and acted like an older brother to him. They were both prince cats, and worked together to take care of the kittens in their small society. Most of the kittens belonged to Minseok, but a few litters belonged to Junmyeon. He scarcely mated, a usual practice amongst cats.

Minseok was a King Cat, the leader of their society. He had a very amiable disposition, contrary to what most people thought of cats. Cats didn't necessarily have mates like wolves did, but Minseok had a very deep bond with a tomcat named Jongdae, something very rare in the cat society. He allowed Jongdae to mate with him once every few years. He never switched partners, and waited for Jongdae when he went into heat.

It was getting to that time of year, mating season. Baekhyun knew it was only a matter of days before he went into heat again. This time however, not wanting to deal with the onslaught of tomcats trying to seduce him, Baekhyun had a secret plan in store. Without telling Minseok or Junmyeon, Baekhyun had decided to go somewhere that no cat would be able to detect his scent.

Cats had lived for many generations in the territory designated to them by their ancestors. It was in a warm region to the south, with lots of sunshine. It was a large area, with plenty of room for the quantity of cat colonies that resided there. The majority of them were extremely wealthy, and didn't really need to work, thanks to their ancestors. Many cultures worshipped cats, and showered them with the wealth they still used to this day.

To the north of the cat territory was the human territory. The human territory was the only place where cats and wolves mingled together. Although the cat and wolf territories were fully functional on their own, with their own stores and other facilities, there were many unique places in the human territory that cats and wolves both liked to visit. Meaning if they wanted to go out to one of these places, they would have to tolerate each other's existence. Harming each other was strictly forbidden, a law put in place a few hundred years ago. However, the human territory was the only place where this law applied.

The wolf territory was even farther north, in the cold forests by the mountains. No cat had ever dared go there before, for obvious reasons. Wolves hated cats, and cats hated wolves. If a pack of wolves came upon a cat, there was no telling what they might do. Although hunting was considered archaic in this day and age, wolves wouldn't mind snacking upon an easy prey.

Being the mischievous and curious cat that Baekhyun was, he had always wanted to see the wolf territory. However, if he wanted to go there, he was going to need an in.

——————————

Sehun made a special trip to a well known store in the human territory. It carried a lot of unique food items that wolves and cats both drooled over. If someone had to point out where wolves and cats mingled with each other the most, it would be this store. However, some wolves avoided this store for that very reason, wishing to stay away from cats as much as possible. Sehun was sure there must have been cats that felt the same way.

It was usually easy to spot wolves and cats in the human territory, because they decided to wear surgical masks to help guard them from the smell of each other. They both hated each other's scent, it especially wasn't appreciated when they were trying to purchase food.

Sehun picked out a few of his favorite food items, things he had specifically planned on buying and visited this store often to purchase. He didn't mind mingling with the cats, although he found most of them to be rather stuck up. As long as he was shopping he could tolerate them.

He left the store and walked over to his parked car to climb inside, but stopped once his sharp ears picked up an unusual sound. There was an injured cat nearby. This was something Sehun couldn't ignore. There were plenty of other wolves in the store, he feared a much less tolerant wolf would find the cat first.

Sehun threw his bag into the car and made his way towards the sound of the crying cat. Sehun entered a small alleyway and spotted a cat curled up next to the dumpster, still crying out in pain. Sehun carefully approached the cat with his hands held out in front of himself.

"Hey, are you ok?"

The cat ignored him and continued crying. Sehun knelt down in front of the cat and stared at it with concern.

"I can take you to a hospital if you want me to."

Sehun suddenly noticed the sound was repeating, like a recording. He examined the cat closer, and realized it was a very well made stuffed toy. Sehun paused, wondering why someone would bother doing this. He got up and left, failing to notice the pair of eyes watching him from high above.

——————————

Baekhyun packed a few things into his bag that he would need while he was away. A few kittens were in the room with him, swatting at the zipper on the bag as he was busy placing things inside of it. There was a sudden knock at the door and Baekhyun quickly threw the bag under his bed.

"Come in."

Junmyeon entered the room and smiled at Baekhyun, "Hey, I have some exciting news."

Baekhyun smiled back at him and picked up one of the kittens trying to crawl under the bed to get at his bag. He sat on the bed with it and started petting it.

"What is it?"

"I think I met someone."

"Really?" Baekhyun asked as the kitten started to gnaw on his finger.

"Yeah, we've been courting for a while now, I think I'm going to mate with him this year."

Baekhyun smiled, "What's his name?"

"Jongin."

Baekhyun laughed, "Well, don't let him know what you're thinking."

"Of course I won't." Junmyeon smirked, "I'm not like Minseok."

Junmyeon sat down on the bed next to Baekhyun and reached over to pet the kitten as well, one of Minseok's children.

"So Baekhyun, have you met anyone you're willing to mate with? You'll be going into heat soon."

"No." Baekhyun answered simply.

"Are you ever going to mate?" Junmyeon laughed.

"If someone worthy comes along. They're just not up to my standards, that's all."

"Your impossible, you know that? Your good looks are just going to go to waste if you wait until you're old to finally mate."

Baekhyun smirked, "Who says I have to mate? I'll do what I want."

Junmyeon shook his head, "Really, you're impossible."

——————————

Sehun opened the door to his small home and stepped inside, exhausted after a long day at work. He rubbed his eyes and threw down his jacket on the nearby couch. Then he paused.

All it took was one quick sniff. He didn't believe what he was smelling. He took another whiff. No, there was no mistaking that smell. There was a cat in his house. A cat in heat.

Sehun's senses immediately started reacting, his skin crawled with agitation. Sehun had never smelt this particular scent before, it was even worse then the usual cat odor.

Sehun quickly ran upstairs, grabbing his door knob to violently swing it open. Laying in his bed, half naked with tons of blankets and pillows gathered around him, was a small young man. Sehun halted in surprise, even though he was a cat, Sehun couldn't deny how beautiful he was.

His eyes were half open, glancing at Sehun as he rolled his head to the side. His expression looked weak, like he was about to faint. Every feature on him was delicate and soft, combining together to make Sehun's ideal picture of a beautiful appearance. His face was flushed, embellishing his lips and cheeks with a deep shade of pink. He was positioned in a vulnerable pose, crouched over with his butt in the air. To top it all off, there was a black chocker around his neck, drawing attention to his exposed collar bone.

If he had been an omega, Sehun would have tried to court him immediately. However, he was not an omega, or a wolf at all, he was a cat. That was obvious with the potent scent of his pheromones in the air, stifling the room.

After the small man glanced at Sehun for a moment, he sat up with a cocky smirk on his face.

"Welcome home Wolfie."

Sehun quickly morphed into his wolf form and rushed over to the bed, viciously growling at the young man.

"Calm down, we both know you're not actually going to hurt me."

Sehun continued growling at him, his lips snarled up revealing his long sharp fangs. The small man laughed as he stared down at Sehun.

"I've been watching you, I know you're a softy. Just go back to your human form already so we can talk."

Sehun's fur on his back was beginning to stand on end, the nerve of this cat, commanding him what to do in his own home.

"Your name is Sehun right? I'm Byun Baekhyun, it's nice to meet you."

Sehun snapped at him, biting the air a few times as he jumped with his front paws onto the bed. Sehun knew not to get any closer, cats had an invisible barrier that was dangerous to cross. His friend Yixing made that mistake once, his nose was numb for an entire month. Besides, Sehun had no intention of harming a cat in heat.

Baekhyun merely sighed, "Come on, are you really just going to keep doing that all night long? Can we talk please?"

Sehun suddenly turned back into a human, his face still full of anger as he stared at Baekhyun, "Get out of my bed!"

Baekhyun smiled, "Hello, I'm glad you decided to act more civilized. I knew you were different than the other wolves."

"Get out!!" Sehun shouted loudly.

Baekhyun smirked as he raised his finger to his lips, "Shhh Wolfie, you haven't even let me explain yet. You see, I'm in heat right now, and I don't want to bother with tomcats chasing me around. This is the perfect place for me to hideout for a week."

"You really think I would let that happen?" Sehun tightened his fist as he spoke.

Baekhyun tilted his head and raised one of his shoulders, "I know you will. I plan on paying you handsomely for it."

Sehun paused, "Paying me?"

Baekhyun reached over to a nearby bag and pulled out an envelope. He handed the envelope over to Sehun, Sehun hesitated for a moment before grabbing it from him. He opened it up and discovered a large wad of cash, a handsome amount indeed.

"So, do we have a deal?"

Sehun continued to stare down at the money, it was extremely tempting. There were quite a few bills he needed to pay, this money would take care of it instantly, plus some.

"Of course, part of the deal being you're not allowed to let anyone know I'm here, and that you'll keep me safe in case anything happens. Which means you'll need to take copulation leave from work."

Sehun finally looked up at him, "Are you going to pay me more for your extra food?"

Baekhyun nodded, "Yes, I'll give you more money."

Sehun paused, staring back down at the money. What was the worst that could happen? Besides Baekhyun reeking up the place with his horrible smell. All he had to do was keep his friends away from his house for like a week. It was pretty easy money actually. Sehun sighed as he lowered the envelope.

"Fine, you have a deal. But you're pretty crazy, you know that? Coming into wolf territory by yourself."

Baekhyun ignored him and laid back down into the warm sheets, snuggling in them as he got comfortable.

"And you're not staying in my bed!"

"Yes I am, this place is freezing. There was hardly even any sun in here during the day, this is the warmest room in the house."

Sehun gritted his teeth as he watched the cat begin rubbing his face in the sheets, getting his smell all over them. Apparently he had been making himself comfortable in his house all day long.

"You cats just like to manipulate everyone, don't you?"

Baekhyun smirked as his one eye that wasn't buried in the sheets glanced back over at him, "And?"

Sehun took a deep breath, maybe this was a mistake. He didn't know how long he could handle this. He held the envelope tightly in his hands, crumpling it.

"All right Wolfie, can you give me some privacy? I've lasted as long as I could, it's getting awkward to keep talking to you. My body needs attention."

Sehun closed his eyes and tried to calm himself down, to think that a cat would be pleasuring himself not only in his house, but in his bed, was absolutely appalling. He would have to get all new sheets, maybe even a new mattress. But he decided to wait to discuss these expenses later.

Sehun turned around and left the room, closing the door behind him. He went downstairs and started to gather some spare sheets from his closet. It seemed like he was going to spend a week sleeping on the couch.

He placed the blankets down on the couch and arranged them how he wanted, laying the pillow down at the end. He started taking off his work clothes, undoing his tie and then unbuttoning his shirt. As he began unbuttoning his shirt, he suddenly heard the sound of Baekhyun moaning upstairs.

Sehun took a deep breath, the sound was causing his instincts to kick in. His fingers started shaking as he continued unbuttoning his shirt. Baekhyun's moaning slowly started getting louder, each cry causing Sehun's blood to get hotter.

Baekhyun's voice suddenly fell quiet, letting out a breathless sound. Sehun didn't even realize how heavily he was breathing until the room had become silent. He shook his head, trying to regain his senses.

After removing his shirt, Sehun pulled out his phone, going to his contacts to send a text message to his boss. It wasn't actually mating season yet for the wolves, it was going to seem a little strange asking for leave right now.

He asked permission, and his boss replied by saying he wasn't going to let Sehun take if off again later. Sehun sighed, it looked like he was going to miss out on mating season this year.

Not that it really mattered, Sehun hadn't found an omega he wanted to court yet anyway. They were rare, and kept safe by the members of their pack. Chanyeol, the Alpha leader of his pack, had managed to court an omega named Kyungsoo. They were always trying to help Sehun, keeping an eye out for a possible mate for him.

Sehun laid back on the couch and closed his eyes. He prayed the perfect omega wouldn't just pop up out of nowhere.

——————————

Sehun went to his room in the morning, bringing some breakfast with him. He opened the door to find Baekhyun sleeping, bundled up in blankets. Sehun found himself unconsciously holding his breath, trying to prevent himself from taking in unnecessary inhalations of Baekhyun's strong pheromones. He walked over to the bed and placed the food at Baekhyun's feet.

"Hey, wake up." Sehun spoke with an irritated tone.

Baekhyun opened his eyes and glanced over at Sehun. He smirked at him before yawning and stretching his arms, exposing his upper body from the sheets. He reached under the blankets and grabbed his underwear to slip them back on under the cover of the blankets. He was still wearing that chocker that Sehun found so enticing, and Sehun found himself staring at it again.

"What a good wolf you are! I really do envy this, your omegas getting pampered by their mate."

Sehun paused, staring at Baekhyun as he sat up and grabbed the food.

"Don't you get pampered by other cats?"

"Well, the King does, not me."

Baekhyun held his utensils delicately as he brought his food to his face and ate in a prim and proper manner.

"You're a prince? You don't act like it."

Baekhyun licked his hand and wiped his mouth, a habit cats had a hard time letting go of in their human from.

"Let me guess, you're a beta?"

"Alpha."

Baekhyun choked a laugh, "What? You're such a softy. Honestly I was expecting to lure an omega into my trap...but an Alpha?"

Sehun glared at him, "Trap?"

"Yeah, I set up that stuffed cat to find a wolf that wouldn't growl at it."

Sehun paused in disbelief, he never should have gone down that alley. Baekhyun set down his bowl and got out of the bed, for the first time Sehun realized how short he was.

"I need to pee." Baekhyun stated as he started to go towards the bathroom.

Sehun watched Baekhyun as he walked past him, his movement smooth like velvet. He had never seen someone walk like that before, so bewitching and genteel.

He looked over at the bed and spotted a few toys exposed in the blankets. Sehun let out a groan of disturbance, he was pretty sure he was mentally traumatized now.

Baekhyun came back out and paused in the doorway staring at Sehun, he was surprised he was still there. Baekhyun would never admit it to anyone, including himself, but he had noticed how handsome Sehun was. Baekhyun had a thing for tall men, not to mention his broad shoulders...and his jawline...and just his whole face in general. Baekhyun had to convince himself, he was just handsome for a wolf, that was all.

Sehun looked over at him, "Hey, I need to go out to the store to buy more food. Let me know what you want."

Baekhyun smiled and went to grab his phone, "Give me your number, I'll text you my list."

After Sehun told Baekhyun his number, Baekhyun immediately sent him a long list of things to buy, some of which wasn't even food. Sehun rolled his eyes, of course Baekhyun already had a list, typical royal cat behavior. Baekhyun came over to him and handed him some money.

"That should take care of everything, I calculated it."

——————————

Sehun got out of his car and entered the store, however, upon entering he immediately gained the attention of everyone inside. They turned to look at him with a nasty expression, he even saw a few of them turn into wolves and start growling.

Sehun tightened up, he forgot, he must have reeked of cat.

"Umm, yeah, sorry guys! I got in a fight with a cat. Where are the scent washes?"

They all stared at him for a moment, detecting his hidden wolf scent. The store clerk pointed at a certain aisle and Sehun nervously made his way over to it.

Sehun sighed staring at the items on the shelf, they were all marketed towards omegas, with effeminate packaging. There was even an omega standing next to him, stocking up on the washes before mating season came along. He stared at Sehun curiously.

Sehun blushed as he picked up a box and walked off. He took out his phone and started looking at the list Baekhyun gave him.

Sehun returned home a few hours later, it took him a while to get everything Baekhyun wanted. He went to the kitchen and started unloading the groceries. It was quiet in the house so he figured Baekhyun must have been sleeping.

"Welcome home Wolfie."

Baekhyun's voice was dripping with lust. Sehun paused and turned around to look at him standing in the doorway. Baekhyun's eyes were fixated on him, staring him down as if he were prey.

"Oh...hey. So they didn't have that kind of milk you wanted. I had to get something else."

Baekhyun didn't answer, he just continued staring at him. Sehun coughed into his fist and turned around to continue unloading the groceries. As he was putting things away in the refrigerator Baekhyun came up behind him.

Sehun backed away, trying to keep the invisible barrier of distance between them, and stumbled into the refrigerator door. He clambered around it and then shut the door nervously, continuing to back away from Baekhyun as he kept stepping closer to him.

"What's wrong Wolfie?" Baekhyun asked as he finally got close enough to Sehun to trap him against the counter, breaking the invisible barrier.

Sehun wanted to grab Baekhyun's shoulders and move him aside, and he almost went to do it, but stopped once he remembered a very basic rule. Cats never touched anyone, and they never allowed anyone to touch them, not even other cats. It took a very long time for a tomcat to court a cat and get permission to even enter their personal space.

Sehun smashed himself as much as he could against the cabinets to try and sneak around Baekhyun, but Baekhyun suddenly stepped forward and placed his hand on Sehun's chest. Sehun's entire body was sent into chills, and the hair on the back of his neck stood on end.

Baekhyun smirked as he leaned closer to him, pressing his body against him. Baekhyun's voice broke into a soft whisper on his ear, "You need a bath."

Sehun tightened up, "Yeah, well thanks to you I reek like a cat now. I had to buy-"

Sehun abruptly stopped talking as Baekhyun's tongue pressed against his neck, trailing upward to his ear. Baekhyun broke into a soft purr, it tickled Sehun's ear and caused him to shiver. Sehun was petrified, his body began throbbing with desire. He tightly shut his eyes and took a large gulp, trying to fight back his instincts. Baekhyun started stroking his tongue against Sehun's neck again, his purring increasing in volume.

Baekhyun reached for the buttons on Sehun's shirt and started undoing them, exposing Sehun's chest. He paused staring at Sehun's body once he had managed to undo every button. He smirked to himself, enjoying the sight of Sehun's well toned muscles. His tongue migrated downward to Sehun's newly uncovered skin, all the way down until he was licking Sehun's abs. Sehun's body trembled with each stroke, he watched Baekhyun closely as his pink tongue snuck out of his mouth and skimmed across his skin.

Baekhyun looked up at Sehun and smirked, noticing how aroused Sehun had become, "Show me that knot of yours, I'm so curious to see it."

Sehun's body jolted as Baekhyun's hands quickly moved to the button on Sehun's pants, unfastening it. Sehun reacted without thinking and forcefully grabbed Baekhyun's hands, earning him a malicious glare from Baekhyun as he stared up at him. Sehun slowly let go, not really sure what he should do, and Baekhyun smirked as he continued to strip Sehun.

"Hey! Hey what are you doing?!" Sehun frantically shouted as he tried to scoot away again, but Baekhyun had a tight hold on his jeans.

"I need some milk." Baekhyun smirked.

Sehun's eyes widened at Baekhyun's words. Baekhyun continued smirking at him, enjoying his reaction.

"I told you, I want to see that knot of yours. We can trade, I'll give you something a wolf has never experienced before. Something cats hardly ever even get to enjoy."

Sehun paused staring at him curiously, but before he could ask, Baekhyun quickly ripped Sehun's pants down, along with his underwear. Baekhyun smirked as he stared at him.

"So this is what it looks like, interesting."

Sehun made an audible sound of surprise as Baekhyun suddenly grabbed him, his tongue landing on his head. Sehun tightened up, trying to trap any sound of pleasure from escaping behind his clenched teeth, but he failed. Sehun moaned in a deep breath as Baekhyun continued licking his head over and over, turning his face slightly each time to change the angle he was licking at. Sehun clenched his fists tightly, his blood was boiling.

Baekhyun stopped and looked up at Sehun with a mischievous smirk, "Are you ready? You're about to get a treat."

Sehun couldn't answer him, his mind had become clouded and his instincts were slowly taking over. Baekhyun paused staring at him before he tilted his head back down. He suddenly put Sehun's entire length in his mouth and Sehun moaned loudly, his hands reached forward to hold onto Baekhyun and squeeze him tightly. Sehun could feel Baekhyun smirk before he started sucking on him a little. Then, as Baekhyun continued sucking on him, he started purring. It sent vibrations through Sehun, stimulating him even further.

Sehun grabbed onto Baekhyun's hair and shoved Baekhyun's face closer to himself, "Fuck!!"

Baekhyun purred louder and Sehun started thrusting into Baekhyun's mouth as he continued cursing loudly. Sehun's instincts had completely taken over, and the amount of pleasure he was experiencing forced him into rut.

Sehun suddenly grabbed Baekhyun and pulled him off himself. Baekhyun looked up at Sehun in surprise, curious why he would want him to stop. Sehun shoved Baekhyun onto the floor and started viciously ripping off his underwear. Baekhyun moaned at just Sehun forcefully taking off his clothes, he was going mad with lust himself and his body was deeply desiring Sehun to take him. Sehun ripped off his own shirt, finally exposing his arms. Baekhyun smiled as he stared at them, pleased to see that they were also well toned.

Sehun aggressively grabbed Baekhyun's ankles and lifted them into the air, spreading his legs apart. Baekhyun reached forward and grabbed onto Sehun's shoulders, pulling him in. Sehun thrust into him and started humping him wildly, beating Baekhyun's body against the hard floor. Baekhyun wrapped himself all around Sehun and dug his nails into his skin, screaming loudly in pleasure. He leaned his head forward and clamped his mouth down on Sehun's shoulder to sink his teeth into his skin, biting him as he continued moaning.

Sehun wasn't making any sounds, his mind was too lost and focused on thrusting himself into Baekhyun. He obsessively continued, going at an aggressive pace. Baekhyun wasn't sure how much longer he could take of getting pounded against the floor.

Baekhyun let out a long shaking moan as he finished, still getting hammered by Sehun. Then Sehun suddenly pushed himself deep inside Baekhyun, Baekhyun cried out in slight pain as his knot entered him. Baekhyun felt the knot start growing larger inside him, and Sehun released his seed inside Baekhyun. Sehun gripped onto him tightly, shaking a little from the force of his savage hold on him. He moaned deeply as he sprayed a large quantity into him.

Baekhyun threw his head back onto the floor, breathing heavily. Sehun fell on top of him, also breathing heavily. They laid for a short moment in silence before Sehun suddenly pulled out of Baekhyun and stood up.

"Oh Wolfie, you really are an alpha."

Sehun ignored him and went over to the bag of groceries still on the floor. He started grabbing items from inside the bag and quickly tossing the things that needed to be kept cold into the refrigerator. He left the rest on the floor as he went back over to Baekhyun and grabbed him, lifting him up into his arms.

Baekhyun smirked as Sehun carried him upstairs into the bedroom. He wasn't used to being treated like this at all, and he loved it. Sehun tossed Baekhyun onto the bed and crawled on top of him, staring at the choker around Baekhyun's neck.

Sehun shoved the extra blankets and toys off the bed to get them out of the way. He quickly lowered himself on top of Baekhyun and grabbed his legs to move them. Baekhyun wrapped himself around Sehun again, grabbing onto him tightly. Sehun entered Baekhyun quickly and start thrusting into him with the same aggression as before, but this time Baekhyun enjoyed the feeling of the soft mattress beneath him.

They continued all night long, both of them moaning loudly and tightly gripping on to each other. It wasn't until the early morning that they had both fallen asleep from exhaustion.

——————————

Sehun woke up and discovered Baekhyun curled up in a ball on his chest, he had turned into cat form to keep warmer. It was so much colder in the wolf territory than Baekhyun was used to. Sehun smiled and grabbed Baekhyun, awakening him from his slumber. Baekhyun glared at him as Sehun placed him on the bed next to himself.

"You're cold right? Here, you can cuddle inside my fur if you want."

Sehun transformed into a wolf and turned in a circle before laying down and curling up into a ball. Baekhyun quickly stepped over to him and sat down inside the crescent of Sehun's body. He placed his front paws on Sehun's stomach and started kneading his fur. Sehun whined a little, finding it to be uncomfortable, but Baekhyun ignored him and continued. Eventually Baekhyun stopped and rubbed his body against Sehun, trying to get into his fur as much as possible before laying down. Sehun curled up even further and wrapped his body tightly around Baekhyun. Baekhyun started purring, enjoying the warmth from Sehun's dense fur coat.

They continued this routine the entire week. After having sex all day and eating periodically, they would turn into animals and cuddle with each other at night. They hardly spoke, but learned a few facts about each other due to the text messages they both received from their friends over that period of time. They would lay and watch each other as they typed on their phone.

Sehun learned that Baekhyun lived in a small colony with only two other adults, Minseok and Junmyeon. They seemed to be very worried about him, and quizzed him with many questions to make sure he was really Baekhyun, not just someone pretending to be him using his phone. Baekhyun wouldn't tell them where he was, just that he was safe and enjoying a relaxing vacation.

Baekhyun had learned that Sehun belonged to a large pack, but was closest to Chanyeol, Chanyeol's mate Kyungsoo, and a beta wolf named Yixing. Sehun hadn't told his friends he had taken copulation leave, and turned them down many times to hang out, telling them he just wasn't feeling well.

On the last night of Baekhyun's heat, they curled up together like usual, cuddled in each other's warmth. Baekhyun purred the entire time he kneaded Sehun and then laid down facing him. He started bathing Sehun, licking a patch of his fur as he continued purring. Baekhyun bathed him for a long time, and Sehun fell asleep to the sound of Baekhyun's purring.
