Namjoon swallows. “How many of them are there?”
“Five. Three omegas and two betas.”
Namjoon nods absently, it not really registering. “Hoba? Do you… have thoughts?”
Hobi takes a moment to think. “I can’t imagine being in their position. Having absolutely nothing when their pack leader dies… I think we need to help them.”
Namjoon nods, squeezing his hand. “What if they don’t want my help? I – I killed their pack alpha.”
Hobi hums. “Joon, I don’t think I’d ever be able to live with myself if we don’t help them.”
“Are you… are you comfortable with that? Being in a new, mixed pack? Because it wouldn’t just be my pack. It would be our pack. And I know you never really… wanted a big pack.”
Hobi shrugs. “They need help. We can help them.”
Namjoon swallows, studying his mate’s face. He turns back to the judge. “Okay. Okay, I accept. What do I need to do?”
