He recognized the keychain at once as it dangled from the lock in the front door. His mom's key ring had a very specific look. There was one with her wedding picture, one with his ultrasound picture, and two separate pieces with each of their names and birth stones. She had always had a terrible memory with dates. So, her keys had what she considered the most important events that she wanted to remember. She'd never give them up willingly and certainly wouldn't just leave them in the door. Stopping before he reached the front door, he started to back up and stated aloud in warning. "Dad? Get Mark. Quick." Backing up into the kitchen, Sean whirled around to head for the backdoor but was suddenly grabbed by large arms. One of the hands covered his mouth, while the other firmly grabbed his waist to hold him against the person's body. Sean let out a muffled scream. While the man holding him told another man that was trying to do the same to his dad. "Let's go. Grab and go." Sean's dad thrashed against the man holding him, growling loudly and causing the guy to whine out. "I'm trying...!" The man almost lost his grip on Sean's dad but adjusted to slam his dad's face onto the kitchen table. Sean let out a distressed whine, thrashing wildly to try escaping, but the man holding him was holding him too tightly to even breath properly.

Stunned, his dad fell to his knees as blood leaked from his nose and mouth. The man gripped his dad again, yanking him up as he growled out to him. "That settled you down. Get up, bitch!" The man started to force Sean back down the hallway. However, before they got out of sight, Sean saw the man try to heft his dad up, but his dad had saved his energy for it. Upon being hefted up off the ground, his dad kicked his legs out to kick the dining table out toward the window that looked to the backyard! The stuff on the table clattered to the floor as the large wooden table crashed into the windows and shattered them. The man holding Sean cursed and began to run out with Sean as he growled out. "Stupid son of a bitch!" Inside Sean heard his dad snarling and the other man starting to scream. Sean tried to grab the doorframe to slow the man down, but the man elbowed him in the hip hard enough that Sean yelped and almost passed out. Hefting him up into his arms, the man raced across the yard and into the back of a white truck with a flatbed hardcover. The men waiting in the back grabbed Sean to hold him down, asking over Sean's screams for Mark. "Where is Ben?"

Zedekiah banged his hand on the side in a rush, telling the others aggressively. "He wasn't up to the task. Useless mutt." The truck surged forward, prompting Sean to sit up and struggle to get free of the men holding his arms. From the house, Mark and his dad burst from the front door, dashing across the yard after the truck as fast as their legs could go. Mark pulled away from his dad, almost reaching the tailgate of the truck as he let out a growl louder than the engine! Tears ran down Sean's cheeks as he yelled out to him. "MARK!" Zedekiah turned to face Mark, growling as he braced to fight Mark, but as the truck gained in speed, it pulled away from Mark. Mark kept trying to make himself run faster but his stamina wasn't endless, and he could only run so fast against a truck. Reluctantly slowing down, Mark still tried to run as he yelled out in a distressed voice. "SEAN!" Zedekiah chuckled, flicking Mark off smugly. Frustrated, Sean kicked Zedekiah in the ass, nearly kicking him from the truck as he lost his balance. Zedekiah's smugness faded as he quickly gripped the truck to keep himself from falling out, then glanced back at Sean.

Sean locked eyes with Zedekiah fearlessly, sneering out sinisterly. "Mark is going to rip you apart... if I don't do it first!" Zedekiah huffed, sneering right back at him with amusement. "Better mutts than you have tried. Now shut up and stay still. Or I'll break you until you have no choice." Sean clenched his jaw, he wanted to say more but he wanted to play this smart. He needed to think of a way to tell Mark where they were taking him. Zedekiah smirked, starting to say. "Good boy. Remind me to give you a-" Zedekiah let out a sharp surprised yelp that made everyone jump as someone leap onto the tailgate of the truck. Sean's heart skipped when he saw Nathan. Nathan kicked Zedekiah in the face, then bent down to enter the truck. Grabbing Zedekiah, he tried to shove him out of the truck as he snapped out. "Surprise, old man!" Zedekiah fell across the tailgate but gripped it tightly to keep himself from falling off as the truck raced around a turn. Nathan swiftly kicked out at Zedekiah's ribs and hands to try and dislodge him. One of the men holding Sean tried to reach out to hit Nathan, but Sean kicked his leg up and pinned the man's neck to the roof of the truck with his foot.

The man screamed as Sean applied more pressure to his neck and snapped out. "LET GO OF ME!" The other man dropped over Sean, wrapping his free arm around Sean's neck to try choking him out as he yelled into his ear. "YOU LET HIM GO! NOW!" Sean twisted his arm free of the pinned man, wedging his hand under the man's elbow, he forced his grip to ease just enough that he rolled over on the other man. He didn't want to get out of his grip, he just turned to take advantage of it. Baring his teeth, he jerked toward the man's throat to bite him. The man screamed as Sean blindly sank his teeth into his flesh until he tasted blood. He wasn't playing around. He wanted them to let go and if they refused. He'd kill them! He was not going to let this opportunity pass him by. The man let him go and Sean jerked up off him to try to help Nathan. He only rolled onto his knees, when the man that he'd pinned recovered enough to tackle him to the floor. While Sean tried to squirm away, Nathan took a harsh kick to the chest that knocked him against the wall of the truck. Zedekiah quickly adjusted onto his back in the truck as Nathan tried to go for him. Resulting in Zedekiah kicking Nate in the balls, before grabbing his wrist.

Pulling a whining Nathan over his feet, Sean screamed as Zedekiah shoved Nate up against the ceiling with his strong legs, causing the truck cover to dent from the force. Nathan spewed blood as Sean heard bones break. Nathan went limp with a soft whine, allowing Zedekiah to flip him hard onto the tailgate. Grabbing his throat, Zedekiah started to strangle him as he snarled down to him. "You traitorous son of a whore! How DARE you! Where's your new friends to save you now?!" Sean wiggled a across the floor, dragging the man on top of him as he reached out to grab Zedekiah's leg and bit into it as hard as he could through his pants. Zedekiah yelped, releasing Nathan to grab Sean's neck as he snapped out. "You fucking tick!" Nathan seized the opportunity to punch Zedekiah's elbow to the arm that still held his neck, then sat upright to punch Zedekiah in the jaw. Zedekiah grunted from the blow, subconsciously releasing Nathan's neck to backhand him. Sean jerked his head up to the sound of the blow, then helplessly watched as the force of it sent Nathan off the back of the tailgate to the asphalt of the road. Nathan let out a gut wrenching yelp as he landed on the road and didn't get back up.

Sean inhaled sharply, mumbling out in distress. "Nate...? Oh, please be ok." Zedekiah spit blood into his hand, growling out bitterly. "Little bastard... He's going to be a problem." Zedekiah then turned his head slowly, locking menacing eyes on Sean when he growled out under his breath. "And as for you... I'll show you what happens to dogs that disrespect me." Sean spit Zedekiah's blood from his mouth, prompting Zedekiah to grab his throat tightly as he pulled him up to his knees with a loud growl that made the man on him scramble away. Zedekiah manhandled Sean down onto the tailgate, squeezing his throat as he snarled down at him. "I was going to kill you slowly in front of your parents and do all the good stuff to your father to teach your mother a lesson... but I think I'll make an exception with you." Sean clawed at Zedekiah's arm, but he grabbed his wrists and pinned them down over his head. Forcing Sean to feel the edge of tailgate before he leaned in and added with a smirk. "I'm going to enjoy watching your mate mourn over your used up body, before I snap his neck." Sean grunted a little, before straining out defiantly in return. "Is that what you think will happen...? Cause you don't know Mark. He will hunt you down..."

Zedekiah snorted, chuckling out confidently. "Then it will make killing him easier." Sean rolled his eyes, straining through a chuckle of his own. "You're getting old, Zed. Mark is in his prime. And he has something you don't have..." Zedekiah raised an eyebrow and Sean narrowed his eyes on him, before kneeing him in the balls. Zedekiah grunted, lifting Sean to slam him down on the tailgate. Sean felt his body go limp and his vision started to darken around the edges. He felt the men in the truck, grab his ankles to pull him in the truck more. While Zedekiah gruffly snarled out. "Get that bitch out of sight." By the time Sean woke up, he was gagged, and his wrists and ankles were tied with zip ties. One of the men was carrying him over his shoulder, wading through water in a stone tunnel. They passed through a metal gate that looked like it had been cut through. They made very little sound and covered their tracks. One of the guys even lingered behind to spray everything down with scent remover. Sean looked for anything that might tell him where he was, but he didn't recognize this place. Zedekiah opened a metal door, telling the man holding him sternly. "Put him in with her. I'm going to make sure we weren't followed."

The man carried him through the door and Sean managed to catch the label on the door as the flashlights glinted off it. It was the Valley's old Aqueduct power plant that was built into the mountain within the park's woods. The place had been welded off, but they'd gotten in. The only good thing about this place that he recalled was that it only had one way in. The man took him inside and roughly dropped him down on a metal chair. Sean slapped the man, prompting him to giggle and lean in to lick his cheek. Sean tried to shove him away, but the guy just grabbed his wrists and zip tied them to the chair's back. The man then locked eyes with him to chuckle out. "I thought Omegas were supposed to be... submissive. Or have we been deceived? You seem to like it rough." Sean growled behind his gag, until he heard chains rattle and someone else growl. The men stopped smiling, backing away from Sean to stand in the corner of the room. Sean's chair was set beneath the only light source in the room, but in the shadows, he could faintly see someone there. Squinting at the person, Sean whined in a way that a puppy called out to a parent. From the shadows, he heard the soft reply and tensed up. It was his mom! Feeling relief and worry, Sean worked to scoot his chair across the floor with his zip tied ankles.

The man rushed back to try and grab Sean before he got to close to her, but Sean practically threw himself at her. Causing the chair to topple to the floor and onto his arm. A sharp pained yelp left him as the metal chair put a lot of unwanted weight on his arm. The man reached out for him, until his mom lunged out and kicked him back. The man fell back onto his ass, scooting away as he snapped out. "Fuck this! Fine! He's yours! Crazy." Sean was losing feeling in his arm, when his mom grabbed the chair and pulled it upright. As his eyes adjusted to the dimmer lighting in this spot, Sean whined as he looked upon his mother. His mother's clothes were torn up and she was covered in dried blood and nasty cuts. They had beaten her and had chained her up like an animal. The thick metal collar around her neck had spikes that dug into her neck and the chain was attached to a thick pipe on the wall. They put a muzzle over her mouth and hand cuffed her hands together. Yet, even in her condition, she cupped his face and tears came to her eyes. Sean leaned forward to put his forehead to hers as tears fell from his own eyes. Seeing her overwhelmed him with emotions.

Her hands untied the gag from his mouth, letting it fall to the floor as her fingers rubbed his cheeks and tried to comfort him. Clearing his throat, he whispered out in a broken voice. "Mom...? Are you ok?" She couldn't answer, but she nodded and rubbed her cheek against his. Leaning his head on her shoulder, he whined as he cried. Slowly she sank to her knees, panting heavily and it was then that he saw she favoring one of her legs. Anger flared in Sean, when he asked her in a distressed voice. "Mom? What did he do to you?" She waved off his concern, rubbing his thighs like she was more worried about what Zedekiah had done to him. Eventually, she rested her head down on Sean's leg, her body shaking from what he could only guess was exhaustion. Unable to stop himself, he glared at the man in the far corner, snapping out. "How can you do this?!" The man turned his head away but said nothing. Eventually, the other man joined them, asking the man on watch. "Want something to drink? I'm going to watch the news inside." The man on watch shook his head, grumbling out. "I'm good." The other man nodded, walking off to a door in the back of the room that led into a more open area with lanterns set up.

After that, everything was awkwardly silent, until Zedekiah came back. The second he entered, his mom lifted her head from his lap and staggered up to her feet. Zedekiah ignored them, looking to the man in the corner as he told him sternly. "Leave us." The man nodded, quickly slipping from the room to join the other man in the other room. Zedekiah then turned to face them, asking teasingly. "Have a touching reunion? Good. Now... Tell me, Pup. What piece of you do you think will be more upsetting to your mate? Or would pictures of you be more... traumatizing?" Zedekiah started to walk in his direction, causing his mom to growl loudly behind her muzzle. Zedekiah locked eyes with her, asking a little too calmly. "After everything we've been through. Have you learned nothing?" His mother inched to stay in front of him, causing Zedekiah to shake his head before grabbing her and shoving her to the floor. She managed to kick him in the gut to knock him back a step or two, but he rushed in and descended upon her. Pinning her down, he started punching her leg until she started letting out muffled screams. Hearing his mom scream had Sean screaming out to him in return. "LEAVE HER ALONE, YOU DICKLESS WHELP!"

Zedekiah stopped hitting his mother, his eyes drifting to lock with Sean's as he growled out darkly. "What did you call me?" Sean breathed harder but told him firmly to take his attention off his mother. "I called you a DICKLESS WHELP!" Zedekiah got up, slowly walking toward him. His mom whimpered, crawling across the ground to try and stop Zedekiah. Stopping in front of him, Zedekiah stared down at him with an expression that he couldn't read. Then grabbing the chair, Zedekiah pulled it back to the center of the room. The metal chair legs squealing across the floor. Setting him in place roughly, Zedekiah moved around to lean over his shoulder before whispering in a frightening tone that gave him goosebumps. "I know what you are, Sean. Took me a while because I thought your dad was the only one... but now that I know you are his pup. It all makes sense. Being a Delta... runs in the bloodline. So, I guess you'll find out if I'm... dickless before your end. Now, won't you?" Pushing his fear aside, Sean turned to look over his shoulder and stated back in a whisper. "I hit a nerve, didn't I?" Zedekiah's only response was a deep throaty growl. To Be Continued...
