Wolf you Up!

Glen scrutinized the face of the omega which had started to glow again when he spoke of the place where he had been locked up for several days. He deduced that it wasn't anything scary. Still, something bothered the alpha. He was staring at the blond young man who awaited his response with an enthusiasm he couldn't stem.

They had to find the Blue Moon clan in less than four days and they still had no leads to start with. What if, as Eden had already been, they got stuck there and couldn't find the witches in time? For starters, they weren't sure if they could find them. The dominant didn't want to mess things up with weird experimentations.

The alpha also wasn't willing to risk anything happening to his omega. The ten days he had spent staring at him without being able to wake him had been torture. Glen straightened up to sit on the bed and turned to Eden who made the screen disappear.

"Don't you think it's a bad idea?" He said in a hesitant voice.

"Why? I think it might be a good thing to practice before meeting the witches. After all, we don't know what to expect. "

"Precisely, we don't know what to expect. It applies to this dimension. We may get stuck inside. What would happen if we don't manage to complete this mission before the evening of the full moon? We don't know anything about this system. "

Eden was taken aback by the dominant's reaction. He didn't expect his mate to refuse straight away, but he understood his reasons very well. He sat up to correctly face his mate. He was staring at him with a worried expression.

"I know this is something unknown and I also know that after what happened to me you have every reason to be wary, but I can assure you that this system is on our side. After all, it's the one who revealed what little we know about your curse and it's also the one who gives us the clues to lift it. "

He grabbed Glen's hand and locked it between his two palms. The warmth comforted the alpha a little as he considered the younger man's words.

"If you don't want to trust him yet, trust me. I assure you we won't get stuck there. "

"How can you be so confident?"

Eden withdrew his hands, and an uneasy smile distorted his features. He scratched his cheek and his eyes avoided Glen who narrowed his eyes at his suspicious demeanor.

"To be honest… I went to the magic dimension while you were in the shower."

"Wha-"

The young man's hand fell over the long dark-haired man's mouth to stifle his cry. Glen's eyes darkened and his aura grew threatening. Eden's omega instincts told him to put himself in a position of submission, but he smelled something else in his mate's pheromones. More than the anger, he felt another emotion in his dominant and his wolf wanted to respond. The werewolf withdrew his hand from his mouth and slid it up to the cheek. He did the same with the other hand before gazing into Glen's eyes. He then brought his face closer and pressed his forehead to the alpha's and released pheromones he had never used before.

As he breathed in the pheromones that his omega had just emitted, the anguish that had gripped the dominant gradually dissipated. He grabbed the hands that were pressed against his cheeks and, with one last breath, his whole body relaxed back to its normal state. Once the omega was sure his mate was no longer going to explode in anger, he decided to explain. Eden pulled his hands away from the alpha's face and lifted his forehead off before revealing the screen again. He opened the system to a panel that wasn't there before the marking.

"Look here." He pointed at a login icon that Glen recognized, as it was the same one that was used on most sites, platforms, and game consoles. Glen raised an eyebrow at the absurdity and observed Eden as he pressed. on the button.

[Choose who will connect.

The Chosen One YES / NO

The Warrior of the Moon Goddess YES / NO]

Eden selected 'YES' for their two names and a new message appeared on the screen.

[Set a connection time]

Just below the sentence, there was a timer to set a specific time. Before Glen commented, he explained.

"Earlier, I spotted this login button and wanted to know if as I thought it was possible to go to the dimension. I chose a two-minute time and after the time was up, just as I requested, I woke up here. So, when I tell you it's safe, I'm sure. "

The alpha's expression changed again when he heard Eden's explanation.

"If you had stayed there, what would I have done? You couldn't be sure you would walk out of this strange place as you hoped. "

"Now I am…"

"That's not the point! Do you have no sense of danger? What would we have done if I ever got out of there and found you asleep not knowing when you were coming back? "

"I had left a note on the nightstand, in case something went wrong." The omega made the screen disappear.

He was handling his mate's reaction poorly and hadn't anticipated that the alpha would be hostile to the system which, from his perspective, even though it was still a mystery, was clearly on their side. He indeed had to experience a forced immersion to realize that the system was his ally. If he hadn't been locked in this dimension for several days, he could never have stood up to the alpha who tried to claim him.

Before entering the dimension, he was certainly much stronger than a normal omega and he could defend himself against many enemies, but he had never had to fight alone while protecting other people. He had always had someone to back him up. Even with his other stats and lower level, Sol Aurora outperformed him in sheer strength and it could have ended badly. Plus, he was an alpha which made the omega vulnerable if he ever wanted to subdue him with his pheromones. The system, by allowing him to grow stronger had helped him. Even if it was just to save time while we waited for Glen to arrive.

Eden lowered his head, frustrated. He heard the dominant sigh and just seconds later the bed shifted under his weight. Arms closed around the omega's body, which tensed up at the sudden embrace.

The alpha put a hand on the back of his mate's hair and tucked his head into the crook of his neck, close to the bite mark. He felt the werewolf's breath tickling him and he raised his arms to return the hug. They stayed like that for a moment and Glen broke the silence.

"I don't want anything bad to happen. It tore me apart when you were there. I thought I would never see you again and apologized for what I said and for leaving you. I couldn't do anything except wait. If you want to try something, let's do it together, but… " He slowly moved away and locked his gaze to Eden's. "Promise me you won't rush us headlong into whatever danger you cross paths with. It worries me you are so reckless. I told you I want you to fall in love with me. I need time to make it happen. "

Eden nodded, reassured and comforted by the words. A smile curved the corners of his mouth and the omega asked in a deceptively ingenuous tone.

"If you only want me to fall for you, doesn't it mean that you already like me?" Glen snorted and squeezed Eden's face between his fingers before answering.

"Don't be so cocky." Eden massaged his cheeks that ached with the teasing gesture and glared at his mate who looked at him with a grin. "Let's go. If you're sure that we'll be back before tomorrow, I'm ok to try it out. I'm also curious about what this dimension looks like. "

"Really?"

The screen had already appeared in front of them and Glen stared at the message asking them to set a connection time. He watched Eden set the timer to two hours and before the dominant could wonder if it was a good idea, he felt a force suck him in.

He blinked and when he opened his eyes, he was in a pristine white room. He spun around, disturbed by the limitless space that surrounded him and which, despite everything, made him feel locked away. The place seemed to have no walls or ceilings and if it didn't have the feel of a hard floor under his feet, Glen would have sworn there was nothing supporting him and his body was floating in an empty space. However, despite its bewildering appearance to the senses, the place was indeed subject to gravity. The sound of footsteps on the floor intrigued him and he lifted his head to watch his mate. Eden, who had arrived at the same time as him, was striding towards him. He watched him discover the dimension, with a satisfied smile.

"So, your first impressions?"

Glen whirled around again to observe the white nothingness that hurt his eyes. He didn't know if he was going to put up with that light for long. Just when he was thinking that the screen appeared.

"Before you answer, let me show you this."

He quickly navigated through the menus with ease that left Glen thoughtful. The omega had just selected a training session for them aimed at gaining strength. He had barely selected "YES" on the system question when the alpha felt again the sensation of being sucked in. Suddenly he was standing in an unknown place. From what he saw, it was in a forest.

He believed for a moment that they were back in Bloodhood's territory. However, even though he hadn't visited the place, he didn't recognize the vegetation and above all the climate wasn't the same. The hot and humid weather was nothing like what can be found on the traditional pack domain, even in the middle of summer. He turned his head just in time to see the omega's figure disappear between two trees a few feet away from him. He was about to run after him when he felt a fist dig into his stomach.

The alpha gasped and dropped to one knee. He looked up and then saw the werewolf with the dirty brown fur gazing fiercely at him, bared fangs. He then heard Eden's voice screaming from where he was fighting a werewolf.

"You have to fight them if you want to finish the simulation."

Glen parried with his forearm the new blow the werewolf was about to strike at him. He counterattacked with a backhand that hit his opponent right on the chin. The werewolf recoiled slightly from the impact and the dominant took his chance. Fists raised to mount his guard, he threw a series of punches and sent his enemy to the mat. When the enemy's body fell to the ground, the alpha spread out his fangs and claws before looking around. Three more opponents had just arrived, two in their werewolf form, and one in wolf form.

The dominant clicked his tongue and cursed underneath his breath.

"Next time, let me know before I jump into the wolf's maw." He had barely finished his silent ranting when Eden, who had just eliminated his opponent, brushed past him.

The blond man leaped to land straight on a werewolf. He dug his claws into the werewolf's chest without the slightest hesitation. Right after its claws sank deep, the body dissipated as if it were a cloud of smoke and the omega fell to the ground. Eden straightened up immediately and turned to his mate.

"Do you intend to help me or not?"

Glen smirked and shook his head amusedly, before joining him.
