Chapter Text
The following day, the pack’s Alphas and Betas made fun of Chanyeol when he told Baekhyun to not join them for hunting. Baekhyun was embarrassed and immediately fled from them while Chanyeol groaned at the teasing. The omegas were happy to see that Baekhyun stayed and they invited him to do the omega works, like planting, taking care of the kids and cooking. He was happy to do the omega works, as it was less risky; and even if he was used to hunting, seeing a big animal always made him scared, especially after the elk incident.
The kids were the most thrilled, as they were able to play with Baekhyun. Even some of the kids that never helped out on doing chores were doing it now due to the omega being there. Kyungsoo even called him the child fairy. In the afternoon when the sun was about to set and he had just finished bathing every kid, Chanyeol approached him with a smile. Baekhyun smiled back while hugging himself as he was wet and it felt cold.
“How are you today?” Chanyeol asked and he kissed the omega’s forehead. Baekhyun pushed him slightly.
“The kids are still near.” The omega said with a flushed face.
“Why do we have to care?” Chanyeol asked lightly and he gave Baekhyun flowers that he hid behind his back all this time, and Baekhyun gasped at him.
“When I was hunting, I saw these beautiful flowers and it reminded me of you. I always wanted to give you this, but I was in denial before, so I am only giving them to you now.” The Alpha said and Baekhyun reached out to the flower.
“They’re very pretty, thank you.” The omega grinned while looking at the flowers.
“You are prettier.” The Alpha said and Baekhyun chuckled awkwardly. How could he be pretty? Ever since he was on earth, he never took care of himself. His complexion was not as flawless as it used to be and freckles were starting to show.
“I brought back a deer, your favorite.” Chanyeol scratched his nape as he felt embarrassed for spoiling Baekhyun this much, it was what he always wanted to do but it feels damn awkward. The omega timidly hugged Chanyeol.
“Thank you, Chanyeol. I feel so spoiled.” The omega chuckled. “You shouldn’t do this, I could get used to this.”
“But you deserve it. And why did you hug me? You said the kids are near.” Chanyeol said jokingly and Baekhyun pushed him away, he felt kind of annoyed that Chanyeol broke the mood. But the Alpha gripped his hand and hailed him closer again to hug him.
“Don’t be mad, I’m just joking.” He said and Baekhyun felt his heart pounding. It was as if it was a different Chanyeol. Different, but better.
Everyday, Chanyeol didn’t fail to give the omega the attention he needed, he gave him different flowers each day, sometimes he gave something like pretty clothing, and when Baekhyun told him that he and Sejeong wanted to train the two betas Ten and Taehyung as they had already reached the age to start learning to hunt, Chanyeol smiled at him proudly and asked if he wanted to teach the betas about his arrows and bows too as it was helpful at times. Baekhyun said he could consider it but the next day, Chanyeol was already handing him two smaller bows and arrows.
“It’s for Ten and Taehyung, if you really wanted to teach them about it.” He said and Baekhyun felt warmth spreading in his heart. Chanyeol were so considerate of him and he did feel loved.
Soon it had been two months since Chanyeol started to court him, but it felt like more since they were so comfortable with each other. They would spend the time after dinner bathing together in the pond, with Baekhyun scrubbing the Alpha’s back, or just strolling, or chilling in Chanyeol’s hut. But as chilling at Chanyeol’s hut was getting frequent, the sexual tension kept rising, they were two healthy werewolves after all. There was that one time they felt too heated, but Baekhyun was fast to stop them. He was not ready yet, they never made love, they only had sex twice with one or the other not really being there as it was influenced by either their heat or rut. Since then, they were avoiding meeting in a confined space, waiting for Baekhyun to be ready.
But as the days went by, the sexual tension kept increasing each day, and Baekhyun already felt so sure about Chanyeol, he felt like it was time that he told Chanyeol he wanted him too. He wanted to be mated with the Alpha.
He prayed to God wishing for a happy ending with Chanyeol. He asked him to bless him on them being mated, and pleaded on not punishing him further by taking Chanyeol from him someday.
That evening, as they were on their night stroll, Baekhyun boldly hugged Chanyeol from his back and asked him.
“Yeol, Do you really want to be with me?” The voice was small, but Chanyeol could hear what his little one was saying.
“Yes Baek, I want you.” Chanyeol said and he turned his body so he could face Baekhyun while he gripped the omega’s shoulder.
“Even if you used to not want to mate at all?”
“Baek, it was because the situation with Rose was not right, and after that I felt guilty because I have to put this pack above my own family, it made me feel that I deserve no one. But I cannot not mate you, Baek. I’ve told you. I might not be the best for you, but I will try my best for you.” the Alpha's face was concerned, he really wanted the omega to believe him, but the omega was smiling brightly at him.
“I believe in you.” He pecked Chanyeol’s cheek light and fast. “But it’s not you who doesn’t deserve me, I think it was the opposite though. I mean I am just an omega, I don’t have a pack, and I am a nuisance for this pack-“ The Alpha brought his forefinger in front of Baekhyun's lips to shut him up.
“Stop it, everyone loves you, you are not a nuisance. You are by far the most capable omega I have ever met.” He said and pecked Baekhyun’s forehead. The omega hugged him and hid his face to his chest.
“Iwamphhjogejagegwiddhu-” Baekhyun spoke, but it was muffled at Chanyeol’s shirt.
“Baek, it tickles, and I can’t hear you. Speak clearly, little one.” He said while ruffling the omega’s hair.
“I want to be mated with you..” Baekhyun said then he slowly lifted his head up to meet Chanyeol’s gaze. “If.. if you want to.” The omega finally said and Chanyeol was so thrilled, he captured Baekhyun’s lips eagerly. Baekhyun was surprised and his both hands flew to clutch at Chanyeol’s shirt on the arm and in front of his chest. When they pulled away, Chanyeol cupped the omega’s face in his big calloused hands.
“Baek, are you sure? Because I really want it and you can’t take it back later.” The Alpha said eagerly. Baekhyun nodded and Chanyeol captured his lips again. This time kissing deeper and hotter, the one that turned Baekhyun’s legs into jelly.
“Take me.. take me to your hut.” The omega said as his body felt hot and he swore that his hole had started producing slick. The Alpha smirked at him.
“How about the kids? Didn't you promise to sleep with them?”
“No.. I told them that I want to sleep by myself tonight.” The Omega felt embarrassed as Chanyeol now knew that he had planned this. The Alpha chuckled and they walked back to his hut.
That night, as they were embracing each other below the pale moonlight that slipped from Chanyeol’s curtain, they marked each other as theirs.
Months had passed by since they were mated. As Baekhyun left the omega hut, the kids got sulky as they couldn’t sleep with their favorite person anymore. The omega had asked Chanyeol if it was okay if kids slept together with them- not every day, just once in a while, but then the Alpha took his turn to be sulky. The Omega took it as a no.
He found out a lot of things about the head alpha too. Chanyeol could be very possessive. There was one time Kai was asking for his help to hunt a bird, as his pregnant mate really wanted it, and it’s hard to hunt for it unless doing it like Baekhyun, with his bows and arrows. And it seemed like his apprentice, Ten and Taehyun was not that skillful to catch a bird yet.
As he shot down the bird, Kai was so happy that he hugged Baekhyun, but Chanyeol was there and fast in his feet to topple Kai in his wolf form. Baekhyun was so startled, he quickly transformed into his white furred wolf, ripping his clothes in the process and nudged Chanyeol’s ribs with his head. He was about to continue pouncing on Kai but the omega was fast to lick his nose and nuzzle their nose together. Kai of course just fled with the bird.
As much as it was hard to believe, but the Alpha was also so giving. He often gave Baekhyun presents just like their courting period. Overall, Baekhyun felt happy and blessed, as this was the first time after so long that a person truly loved him. He was too used to unrequited love.
The time came when Kyungsoo was finally giving birth. It was the first time Baekhyun saw a wolf giving birth and it was so fascinating for him. The omega gave birth to a baby girl, they named it Yeri. The other kids seemed to be happy too as they would have a new friend. Baekhyun was so happy for Kyungsoo and Kai too, but at the same time, he felt so envious because he really wanted one, but the kid-conversation never seemed to be brought up by the either of them.
Without saying much, as if Chanyeol knows about how his omega was feeling, he held Baekhyun tight when they were cuddling that night before they slept.
“I want to have pups with you.” The Alpha whispered when he was being the big spoon, enveloping his omega with warmth. Baekhyun turned to look at Chanyeol, trying to read his face.
“I know you want it. I want it too, little one.” Chanyeol said and nuzzled their nose together and pecked his lips.
“I felt envious of Kyungsoo. I wanted a kid too.” The omega pouted. “By the way, how do you know?”
“I’m your Alpha, I know.” He smirked at his omega and Baekhyun hit his chest.
“Let’s make one on your heat. Let’s pray on the pond and maybe you could summon your friend again.” He winked at the omega and Baekhyun seemed puzzled. His friend? Which friend?
“What do you mean?” Baekhyun asked with a frown.
“When we were praying for Kyungsoo, a lot of shooting stars appeared, and I thought it was weird. It was as if you were the one who made it happen. So, I decided to observe you, and I saw your meeting, with what was that? It was shining brightly then it became human? Then you guys talked. I couldn’t really catch it but I saw him cry and you too.” He paused and looked at Baekhyun who was seemingly even more puzzled.
“Then I freaked out. I was hiding behind the bush, I was about to leave, but it seems that I made the bush rustling and I stayed there, kind of petrified. Then I saw your friends change and shine bright again, and fly with enormous wings. When you were still looking at your friend up in the sky, I turned to go away but it seems Yixing saw me. He smiled knowingly, as if he could understand I was startled, but he said nothing and left. Then your heat happened, I was so confused on how you could have your first heat at the age of twenty. It was roughly a week after your heat, I asked Yixing how it could happen and he told me about it. It doesn’t change much about my perspective of you, I was kind of skeptical because it sounds so much like a myth.. but yeah.. tell me about it.” Baekhyun smiled at him, it was not a bad thing for Chanyeol to know. After all, he wanted to be open to his mate and he wanted his Alpha to accept him for all he was, and it seems like Chanyeol could.
Baekhyun then told him his long story, his background, his fault, his punishment, the day he was banished, until he met Dahyun, dragged to the pack, how he felt about it- pretty much everything.
“So that’s why kids love you?” The Alpha asked, clearly intrigued. The omega smiled sheepishly.
“I guess so, the charm of the Deity of Marriage and Fertility didn’t fade even after my punishment.”
“If you had wings, dressed in satin, I guess your beauty would be blinding. I mean you are here, a werewolf, and not really wearing the finest stuff, and you are still beautiful.” Baekhyun said nothing and just hid at his mate’s chest. He was so embarrassed every time his mate complimented him, because he didn’t feel pretty. Since he was on earth, he felt like he was getting uglier, with the bruises, scars, freckles and everything.
“Do you regret it though? You used to be a higher being.” Chanyeol asked, seemingly concerned.
“No, because I got to meet you. And I thought I will never love anyone as much as I loved Kris. But I love you more, Yeol.” The omega said and kissed the mark that he left on the Alpha’s nape. Chanyeol shuddered at the omega’s hot tongue.
“Are you sure?” Chanyeol asked again, and Baekhyun pecked his cheek.
“I’m very sure, love.”
As they discussed that night, they prayed before the heat season. Jongdae didn’t come, but the angels came and appeared similar to a shooting star, just like how they previously appeared. After that, they did spend the heat season hoping for Baekhyun to conceive.
A week after Baekhyun's heat was over, he had a dream. But he was sure it was not really a dream because it felt so surreal. He was back on the land of up above, on the waterfall that he often frequented. He himself was scared when he recognized that he was not on earth anymore, he was scared if he had died. Chanyeol would be so devastated. When he was just about to panic, God appeared before him and he kneeled.
“Don’t worry, my child. I only wanted to talk to you.” God said and he asked Baekhyun to stand up.
“Am I dead? Why am I back here, My Lord?” He asked, clearly, he was panicking despite being told otherwise.
“No, you are not, I just want to talk to you. So tell me, Baekhyun, did you learn your lesson on earth?”
“Yes, My Lord, I have repented on my mistake. You always treated me kindly, provided the best of the best for me and I took it for granted. Too bad I only realized it after I was punished, on earth.” Baekhyun said, feeling guilty.
“I believe you did. I have observed you closely since the first day I exiled you. So, tell me, Baekhyun. Do you want to come back here, being a Deity?” The former deity immediately dropped on his knees and pleaded to God.
“My Lord, I never deserved your grace. I understand that you are about to grant me the best thing could happen for me. But My Lord, I really love my Alpha. Please, I don’t want to leave him alone.” He said as he felt desperate and his tears threatened to fall.
“Okay, I understand. I will give you another present, as I really do think you deserve one, judging on how you did on earth. Baekhyun, I now gave you a gift, that you could visit the land of up above as often as you want when you are sleeping at night. You could just pray, and you will arrive here in your deity form and go back when you are awake in the morning. Secondly, all of your kids will be demigods. They could choose to move here before they die, or just before their death.” Baekhyun gasped at God. It was crazy, how could God be that lenient to him.
“My Lord, thank you. Thank you so much for your grace upon me.” He said and cried of happiness. The next morning when he woke up, he kept wondering if it was real. But he prayed before he slept that he wanted to go to the land of up above that night. And he was really transported there. He was in his deity form and he met Jongdae. His best friend had confirmed that it was real, that he was in the land of up above and will go back when he wakes up. He was so thrilled. Then Jongdae also told him that he was one week pregnant.
Baekhyun felt as if his life was complete. He eagerly told Chanyeol all about it. His Alpha seemed to be genuinely happy about the gift from God to Baekhyun, including the fact that their kids are going to be Demigods.
“I was so lucky to have you Baekhyun. My Omega that turned out to be a Deity.” Chanyeol said to him adoringly and Baekhyun grinned at him.
“You were still the best thing that happened in my life, Yeol. Thank you for loving me back.”
“Kris was so stupid for not loving you back.” Chanyeol rolled his eyes.
“Come on, if he loved me back, we would not have happened. And I would not conceive your kids.” The omega smiled at him mischievously.
“If only you were not having our child, Baek. I would already pound on you so hard. God, you’re so good at seducing me.”
And the omega just slammed his face with the pillow in embarrassment.
