Chanyeol wakes up to a slight shifting in position from Baekhyun. The smaller slowly pries Chanyeol’s arms from around his waist. Chanyeol opens his eyes and looks at Baekhyun, who smiles innocently.

“I need to pee.” Baekhyun whispers and Chanyeol lets go of him.

Baekhyun quickly rushes to the washroom and Chanyeol yawns, rolling onto his back and waiting for his mate to come back. When he hears the bathroom door open, Chanyeol looks towards it, seeing Baekhyun close it behind him gently.

The smaller male walks back to their bed and lays down again, snuggling back against Chanyeol’s chest. Chanyeol chuckles.

“I love you.” He coos to his mate who smiles back.

“I love you too. Do you think we should get out of bed?”  Baekhyun asks. Chanyeol looks at the window which seems to be brightly lit, signalling that it’s morning.

“Yeah. It seems like it’s about the morning. You haven’t eaten all day yesterday and that’s bad for you and the baby!” Chanyeol scolds and the smaller looks up at him with teary eyes.

“I-I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to. Now you probably hate me and the baby and want to leave us. I’m sorry Channie!” Baekhyun sobs, hiding his face into the baffled taller’s shirt. Chanyeol’s arms immediately wrap around Baekhyun’s slim waist, pulling him closer.

“Shh. I’m just reminding you. It’s alright. I’m sorry! I’ll never leave you and our little baby.”

Baekhyun’s sobs die down to quiet little hiccups and whimpers.

“Are you sure?”

“Of course baby. I’m your mate. I’d never lie to you. Chanyeol promises and Baekhyun looks at him.

“Then tell me what you talked to the guest about yesterday. You seemed to be gone for a long time.” Baekhyun demands, his tears all gone and a look of determination replacing it.

Chanyeol wants to laugh at his mate’s sudden and drastic mood changes, but he decided to keep it in, knowing that it would cause one of Baekhyun’s moods again.

“Kris wanted to take you back, but I denied, obviously. He said he had some new Alpha at the pack for you so I just went on and told him marked you and f****d you senseless so that you are now carrying our pups. Then he went all crazy and s**t and asked for my mating mark so I told him that vampires only give the omegas the mark and not get one and then he left furious and now I think I started a small war between us.” Chanyeol finishes.

Baekhyun looks at his mate and frowns.

“You told him we had the ‘you-know-what’?!” Baekhyun screeches. Chanyeol smiles at his mate.

“So that’s all you’re worried about? Not the fact that Kris may start a war?” Chanyeol asks, amused at his small mate who is fuming now because Chanyeol told his previous Alpha that they had s*x, or in Baekhyun’s own words, ‘you-know-what’.”

Baekhyun shakes his head and sighs, relaxing into his mate’s sturdy arms.

“Come on. Let’s go so that we can actually grab some breakfast.” Chanyeol chuckles as he helps Baekhyun sit up.

“Oh my god! Baekhyun! You’re alive!” Luhan squeals as he runs to gently yet firmly hug Baekhyun.

Chanyeol growls protectively at Luhan who just shrugs it off.

“Come on! You haven’t eaten at all yesterday so you need to be fed like a pig today!” Luhan exclaims, pulling both Chanyeol and Baekhyun to the table. Sehun, Kai and a heavily pregnant Kyungsoo sit at the table, eating.

Baekhyun sits in between Kyungsoo and Luhan, chatting happily.

The cook comes out with a tray of food in his hold. Since Kyungsoo was pregnant and unable to cook, Chanyeol had decided to hire a chef for the time being. The chef sets the food down in front of Baekhyun and steps to the side.

Chanyeol narrows his eyes. The chef was sweating. Why? As far as he knew, the breakfast was cooked this morning, not now. Chanyeol stops Baekhyun, who was just about to put a bite into his mouth. Baekhyun pouts. He was hungry.

Chanyeol motions forward the cook, who gulps.

“Is there something wrong? Why are you sweating?” Chanyeol asks the chef, who looks as he was about to pee in his pants.

“N-n-no master.”

Chanyeol frowns and forwards one of the butlers.

“Bring in one of the prisoners.” The butler nods at the command and disappears, soon appearing once again with an old prisoner who he had captured almost 15 years ago. The man laughs.

“Chanyeol! Have you finally decided to spare me?”

Chanyeol rolls his eyes and signals the butler to give him Baekhyun’s food. Baekhyun watches sadly, but with Chanyeol’s arm on his waist, he feels fine.

The prisoner eats it wildly and finishes quickly.

“So you really have decided to sp—” the prisoner’s sentence is cut off mid-way when he chokes, coughing up blood.

Baekhyun watches horrified. He begins to sob, hiding his face in Chanyeol’s chest with Luhan rubbing his back and whispering sweet words to him.

Chanyeol slowly hands Baekhyun to Luhan who nods at Chanyeol and Kai and Sehun stand beside Chanyeol.

“Who sent you to poison my mate?!” Chanyeol asks, furiously. The cook looks pale, sweat dripping down his face. He gulps.

“I-I-I don’t know w-what you’re talking about!”

Chanyeol grabs the cook’s neck, choking him slowly. The cook coughs, scratching at Chanyeol’s hands, but it did no good.

Chanyeol looks at Sehun and Kai.

“Tie him to the torture room. Use it if it’s really necessary.” Chanyeol growls and walks back towards Baekhyun without a second glance to the cook.

Chanyeol holds Baekhyun closer to him, rubbing his back and looking at Luhan who runs into the kitchen to cook Baekhyun a decent meal.

“Shh. Its ok, baby. He’s gone now. Luhan will make your food.” Chanyeol says and Baekhyun nods, gulping. He was really scared.

But he knew that as long as he had Chanyeol, everything would be fine.
