The pack hurries to tend to them, being so so mindful of their space, and Kurt has never been more grateful of anything or anyone in their life. There are no demands for their attention, no insistence they touch or speak to anyone until they want to. No punishment.
It will still take some time. But as Kurt curls up in Corrigan's lap, feeling the warmth of the furs draped over their shoulder and the bowl in their hands, seeing the love in the gazes of every wolf around them, they get closer and closer to believing Alpha's words.
They're safe here. They will always be safe here.
"Th-Thank you," they murmur hoarsely, cradling the bowl of stew. As it becomes clear they won't face punishment from the pack, Kurt starts to feel embarrassed for having reacted so strongly. It prompts a warm curl of understanding through the pack link, Naseer gazing up at them from his seat on the floor, tending to the food. No one blames you, it says. Kurt sniffles, trying to believe it.
"Why don't you pups get ready for bed?" the Beta suggests, glancing around at the boys, all aimlessly standing around, not sure what to do. "It's been an exciting couple of days. We all need our rest."
