Sean turned his head a little to look at Zedekiah out of the corner of his eye, while he listened closely to what they were saying. He was happy that Mark was getting close to finding him, but terrified if he did. Would he take the Aqueduct pipes to get to them or take the path through the woods to just get to the building? From inside the room behind him, someone told Zedekiah. "I sent out the message. Lexus is going to lead the Betas into the City now. She's asking about Cliff. Do you still want him?" Zedekiah leaned back against the doorframe, a wicked grin pulling at his lips as he told him firmly. "Of course. But for now. She should give him something to chase. I want to focus on the Pack Leader first. I have the bait for him... and he'll be bait for daddy after I break him." One of the men asked Zedekiah timidly. "Zed... I know you want revenge... but the last time we tried to do this-" Zedekiah cut off the man by grabbing him by the throat with his large hand. The man yelped in distress as Zedekiah lifted him off the ground to bring him to his eye level. Then glaring him down with an emotionless eye, he growled out to him in a low menacing tone. "This is about so much more than just my vengeance. This is about being the last true Alpha standing. I don't surrender. I don't admit defeat. I am THE ALPHA. There isn't an Alpha that I haven't defeated. This Valley will be MINE!"

The man clawed at Zedekiah's arm, whimpering as he started to choke. Zedekiah ignored his pleas, snarling angrily at him. "I am so sick of seeing lesser Alphas with strong Packs. They don't deserve them. I want the days back when you fought to prove who deserved to be a Pack Leader! When the strong had the balls to take what they wanted from those too weak to hold onto it! I deserve a strong healthy Pack! Not a bunch of sniveling cowardly pups that are content with fucking around!" Zedekiah threw the man into something inside the room that smashed. The others in that room gasped, while the man whimpered in pain. Stepping into the room more, Zedekiah angrily snarled out at the others. "ANYONE ELSE WANT TO SPEAK?! I get one whiff of fear from any of you... and I'll RIP YOUR FUCKING THROATS OUT RIGHT HERE!" Sean flinched, his hands shaking from the powerful threat contained in Zedekiah's Alpha influence. Punching the cement wall, Zedekiah growled loudly before stating in a darker voice. "We are here to take the Valley. If I have to keep killing you cowards and just do it my fucking self. I WILL!" Zedekiah started to straighten up, snarling out through his clenched teeth. "The next person with the balls to question me... will be eaten alive by those that WANT to live."

Zedekiah started to move back into the room with Sean, until a young male quickly approached to hand something to him. Snatching it from the young male, Zedekiah jerked toward him with a growl. The young male flinched back, resulting in Zedekiah backhanding him off his feet. The young male hit the floor so hard with a yelp that Sean jumped in his chair from the sound. Slamming the door, Zedekiah opened the folder to flip through it. Closing it, he tossed it to the floor with a snort and moved back around Sean's chair. Sean kept his head low, watching only his long muscular legs as they moved around to stand in front of him. Zedekiah's hand reached out to run a hand threw his hair, asking him in a cool tone of voice. "Where was I?" Sean didn't even acknowledge him with a muffle growl. He wanted to bite him so badly. Instead, he focused all his energy into trying to weaken the zip ties that had him strapped to the metal chair. Zedekiah spread his legs to stand over his lap, prompting Sean to really wish that he could bite his dick in half! He settled for trying to headbutt him, but Zedekiah grabbed his hair and tilted his head back to force him to look up at him.

Staring down at him, Zedekiah moved his hands to cup Sean's neck. Sean closed his eyes, trying not to show fear. He could think of a million things that were worse than being choked to death. Zedekiah's thumbs stroked his neck, before he leaned down and whispered over the leather muzzle. "You're cute enough that I don't want to break you... but I'm so eager to play with you." Sean closed his eyes, trying to block him out. Chuckling, Zedekiah brought his lips to his ear and licked it before saying in a disgusting vile tone. "I know you're afraid to like it. But you don't have to be. You were bred for this. All you need is a strong male like me to spread your legs for." Sean let out a deep throaty growl, causing Zedekiah to chuckle by his ear. One of Zedekiah's hands slid down from his throat and down over his exposed chest. Sean slammed his knees closed as Zedekiah's hand ventured lower toward his belly button. Sean growled louder behind his muzzle, jerking his shoulders to try and hit Zedekiah's face. Zedekiah easily leaned back to avoid his shoulder making contact, before leaning back in to graze his teeth over his throat. Sean tensed, trying to shove his head away with his own as he snarled behind the muzzle.

He stopped struggling when Zedekiah's hand tugged at his pants to unbutton it. Sean's growls changed to whimpers as his hand slipped into his pants to feel out his underwear. Reluctant whines left Sean as he tried to shake free of him. Zedekiah's teeth latched onto his neck with a low lusty growl. His teeth hadn't pieced his skin, but they still hurt in the spot that he was biting. A distressed whine left Sean, causing him to arch back as his fingers touched a spot between his legs that scared him. Removing his teeth, Zedekiah whispered into his ear. "Not as wet as last time... but I can help with- OW!" Sean heard something hit Zedekiah and then the floor, prompting him to turn his head. Zedekiah glared at Sean's mom who was yanking off her last shoe and tensing up to fight him with it. Smirking, Zedekiah chuckled out. "Go ahead. Throw it. You're not going to stop me. In fact... Watch this." Sean yelped in fright as Zedekiah removed his hands from him to grab the front legs of the chair, tipping it back across the floor. Sean was thankful that the chair didn't hurt him in this position, but it wasn't a good one either. Reaching down, he grabbed the seam of his pants and started to shred them to expose his underwear.

Giving his mother a smug grin, Zedekiah told her wickedly. "You can watch me pleasure your son with my tongue... before I fuck him into having a miscarriage." The wolf within Sean surge to the surface as his chest heaved with every snarl. He refused to be a victim. He refused to lose his puppies to a man like him. Tilting his head back, Sean twisted his wrists in the ties feeling them strain against his strength. When Zedekiah turned to look at him with a confused face, Sean jerked his head up to snarl loudly. His face changing rapidly to grow a long furry jaws that stretched out the leather muzzle until the buckle snapped off! Shaking the muzzle from him, his wrists and ankles popped the zip tires. Zedekiah reached out to grab his leg, but Sean pushed his legs off the chair and rolled backward up onto his large padded wolf feet with protruding thick white nails. Flicking his long bushy tail out of his way, Sean snatched up the metal chair in his human jointed white furry hands with rough palm pads. Laying his silky grey ears back, he swung the chair up at Zedekiah's torso to knock him off his feet. He'd caught him off guard enough that the hit was successful, and with snarl, Sean jammed the chair under the door handle to keep the others from coming out.

Dropping down to all fours, the hackles on the back of his neck rose as Sean bared his canine teeth at Zedekiah. Zedekiah slowly got up, chuckling out under his breath. "Well... You are something special aren't you. Changing without a moon. Wonderful. I'll make sure to get stronger chains just for you." Sean inched toward his mother, his eyes darting to the exit as he tried to plan for a quick escape. Zedekiah followed his eyes, then shouted out in a commanding Alpha voice. "HEEL!" Sean whimpered as the wolf in him cringed into a submissive bow. Zedekiah moved toward him, snapping out to him using his powerful influence. "That's right, bitch. You can't challenge me. I'm out of your league." Sean shook his head, snarling and snapping at Zedekiah to try scaring him away from him. Zedekiah let out a deep angry growl that made Sean whimper and sink down to his belly. Cowering from him, he kept growling but he every instinct was telling him that this was a fight that he'd lose. Even at his larger wolf size... Zedekiah was a large intimidating human. Zedekiah reached out quickly to grab the scruff of Sean's furry neck, causing Sean to yelp and whine loudly in distress as he lashed out to knock Zedekiah away.

Zedekiah kept a firm grip on him, shoving his neck to the floor with one hand and backed him into a corner to contain him better. Sean snapped his jaws on Zedekiah's arm, causing him to wince before punching Sean's head enough that Sean fell to the floor stunned. His mother pulled at her chains so hard that blood was dripping from her wrists, while her deep growls filled the room. Zedekiah lifted his foot like he was going to kick Sean in the stomach, but Sean pushed off the corner to tackle him. Hopping off him quickly, Sean rushed to open the door and then to his mother. Going to the pipe that held the chain, he slammed a hand into it to dent it, then hit it again to bust it. When his mom tried to shove him away to run, Sean just grabbed the chain in his jaws and pulled her over his back. Zedekiah dashed to his feet trying to slam the door shut, but Sean risked a leap to make it. Landing in the watery pipe, Sean tried to remember where he came from. Seeing light, his feet splashed through the water as he ran toward it. He could hear Zedekiah shouting to people and ordering them to do things, but he couldn't focus on that. Clinging to his back, his mom worked to try and figure out how to remove her own muzzle now that her hands had slightly better range of motion.

Sean skidded to a stop, letting his mom slid off, while he went to the bars in the pipe to open them. Shaking the cut bars, he put all his strength into snapping the lock that they had put on it. It took a few tries, but he managed it. Only when he stepped through, he winced and cringed in pain. For a few seconds he couldn't breathe, but he shook it off and helped his mom through. She climbed back up onto his back to avoid using her broken leg, and he bolted down the tunnel again. Just as he was exiting a broken part of the tunnel that revealed the woods, he heard a sharp ding as something just missed his shoulder. Glancing back, he saw a man with a tranquilizer gun taking aim at him. Ducking, he dashed off into the woods with as much speed as he could. He almost reached the campsite where Bill had slept with him, when he collapsed in pain. Staying on his belly, he whimpered as his body shook with pain. His heavy panting wasn't helping the fact that he could barely breathe either. His mother twisted her bloody wrists from the chains, then asked him in a fragile voice. "Puppy? What's wrong? Did you get hurt?" Sean shrugged, whining as his only response. His mom's hands moved cautiously through his furry to find any wounds but stopped when she asked him a bit distressed. "Puppy...? Tell me that's pee..."

Sean inched away from the spot, trying to see for himself, but he just found himself laying on his side and panting more. His mom pet his side with one hand, trying to sooth him as her other hand eased between his fuzzy thighs to touch the wet fur there. When her hand came back with a clear slimy liquid, she swallowed hard and uttered out anxiously. "Oh, boy... That's not good." Sean whined, looking at her with fragile puppy eyes. Petting his head, she told him a bit softer in order to keep him calm. "It's ok. It just... Your water broke..." Sean started to move, but she pulled him back down, telling him firmly. "Don't. Stay down. And don't change back. Just... get comfortable and breathe. That's what dad always says, right?" Sean flashed her a wolfish grin but settled down to just breathe steadily. Glancing around, she uttered out to herself. "Shit... We need a phone right now... Maybe I can crawl to the parking lot and get someone's-" Sean put his furry human jointed paw on her hand, giving her his best puppy eyes in the hopes that she wouldn't leave him alone. Laying her other hand over his, she told him sweetly. "Alright. I'll stay. But we need to think of something. They'll be looking for us... and I'm no good to you in my condition."

Snuggling against his side, she rubbed his aching back, telling him with a bright smile. "You are a brave little terror. I'm so proud of you." Sean whimpered, but she rubbed his silky ears, whispering to him. "Easy. I'm here." Back at the hospital, Nathan rested in a bed attached to wires that monitored his heartrate and drug intake to numb his pain. His ribs were still burning after being broken, but his own ability to heal was slowly kicking in. He worried about Mark and Sean, but there wasn't much that he felt like he could do yet. So, he focused on healing first. The hospital had been quiet for so long that when people started to scream and run past his door, he stiffly sat up in bed. One Omega rushed into his room, while another was tackled in the hallway. The Omega screamed at the top of their lungs, struggling in the grip of a City Wolf. The City Wolf slapped the Omega, then dropped over her while others laughed. The familiar Omega that ran into his room, panted heavily and tried to crawl away as another City Wolf jumped into the room and playfully beckoned to Matthew. Matthew tried to crawl under the bed, but the City Wolf lunged forward to grab his ankle to pull him back.

Nathan yanked the wires off his chest and arms, rolling off the bed. The City Wolf didn't pay him any attention as he tried to push Matthew's shirt up his torso. Reaching the City Wolf, Nathan grabbed him by the back of his leather jacket and flung him off Matthew. The City Wolf yelped as he tumbled across the floor and out into the hallway. Matthew scrambled to the back of the room as the City Wolf got to his feet and snarled at him with a challenging Beta influence. Nathan snorted at his weak voice, stepping toward him and growling in a far stronger tone. The City Wolf staggered back with a whimper, then took off down the hallway. Nathan slowly walked out into the hallway as the fleeing Beta yelled out. "AN ALPHA'S BETA! SCRAM!" The City Wolf pinning down the other Omega outside the door froze in fear as Nathan growled at him. The City Wolf released the Omega, letting her flee to Nathan's side as she cried. The City Wolf kept his eyes on Nathan, slowly backing away from him, until a young Beta woman in another patient room lunged out to snarl at him. Feeling outnumbered, the City Wolf turned tail and ran for the exit.

The farther out Nathan walked, the more he saw more young City Wolves trying to grab Omegas and beating the ones that resisted their advances. The minute they took notice of Nathan though, they all hesitated and glanced at each other with unease. A few of them he knew, and they knew what he was capable of. The Omegas that managed to get away ran to stand with Nathan, snarling meekly behind him at the intruders. When one of the Betas stepped up to challenge Nathan with a throaty snarl, Nathan was surprised to hear a few young Betas in the hospital move in to growl. As wounded as they all looked, seeing how Nathan rattled them was cause enough for even the hurt Betas to join him in protecting the Omegas. Nathan was a little flattered, until he saw more City Wolves outside chasing down Omegas and breaking their homes or cars to yank them out. Heaving a sigh, Nathan straightened up. He couldn't rest anymore. He had to get out there. To Be Continued...
