Seokjin races through the forest, snow cool on his paws as he follows the scents of his pack.

It’s something they like to do every now and then, a chase. It’s not as common anymore, something mainly of the past, but his loves always indulge their inner wolves. He’d come home after spending several days away for work, and found a note on the counter.

Come catch us, alpha.

It was signed by Yoongi, scented by all of them. He could tell they’d left the note fairly recently, timing it for when he got back home. He’d smiled, taking in their scent from the note and shedding his clothes before stepping out of their home.

He then shifted, letting out a howl to let his mates know he was coming, and set off.

His alpha rumbles in the back of his mind as he catches one of his mates’ scent. Pine and smoke lingers in the air, and Seokjin turns to follow the fragrance. The leaves rustle ahead, and he lets out a low rumble as he catches a glimpse of his beta, Namjoon, racing in front of him. Seokjin picks up the pace, getting close, but still keeping enough distance for Namjoon to enjoy the chase. Namjoon lets out a yip as they burst out from the trees into a clearing.

“Come on, alpha, or is your age getting to you?” Namjoon’s voice filters through Seokjin’s mind.

Seokjin bares his teeth, fully letting go and pouncing on Namjoon moments later, both of them falling into the snow. Namjoon rolls around under him, but Seokjin dips down and nips his neck with a low growl and his beta slumps in submission.

“Shift,” Seokjin rumbles and both he and Namjoon shift into their human forms.

Namjoon’s face is flushed, and he looks up at him with bright gray eyes, reaching a hand up to cup Seokjin’s face. “Hi, alpha,” he greets with a dimpled smile.

Immediately, Seokjin dips down to capture his lips in a hungry kiss, licking into Namjoon’s mouth while the beta moans and threads his hands in Seokjin’s hair. Smokey pine unfurls around them, Seokjin pressing Namjoon into the snow as he kisses him. Seokjin bites Namjoon’s bottom lip as they part, Namjoon letting out a low purr.

“Welcome home, alpha,” Namjoon whispers with a soft smile.

Seokjin hums, dipping down to run his nose along Namjoon’s neck, before biting down on his scent gland and refreshing the mating mark that decorates his skin. Mine.

“Mm, yours,” Namjoon breathes, hand tightening in Seokjin’s hair as the alpha licks over his mark.

Seokjin leans back when satisfied, smiling down at his beta before sliding off him and shifting. He nudges at Namjoon’s side in a silent command for the beta to shift as well, and heads back into the forest, the beta close on his heels.

The aroma of sweet plums is what Seokjin catches next, rumbling lowly in the back of his throat and picking up the pace. He smiles internally when he realizes what Hoseok had down to throw him off his path, scenting the trees thoroughly in various directions, but Seokjin knows better. He pushes forward, Namjoon purring behind him as the sweet plum scent grows stronger, until they get a brook and it disappears.

Seokjin turns, following the brook up until they get to an open space. A twig snaps, Hoseok tumbling in front of them. Seokjin surges forward, but Hoseok leaps out of his grasp. The alpha doesn’t run though, instead turning around to pounce on Seokjin, who rolls out from under him. Namjoon watches off to the side, yipping his encouragement as his alphas tussle in a play fight for dominance.
