Runt of the litter... Runt... Worthless... Pathetic... Useless...

San had pushed those words out of his head years ago after his family abandoned him. After a few months, when they realized he was small for an alpha, unlike his older brother and fraternal twin. So they left him behind, figuring he would survive long anyway.

So how did Jasper know about this?

Everything hurt as he came back to consciousness.

Then he felt something burning around his neck.

He tried to scream, but it came out as muffled. His eyes scrunched shut as he tried to push through it, but it wasn't going away.

And then he realized he couldn't feel his wolf...

San's eyes snapped open to see he was sitting in the living room of their new home. His hands were tied behind his and he was gagged.

There was a muffled sound next to him and he turned to see that Jongho was tied to him and trying to get his attention. He looked terrified...

San tried to reach out to him but without his wolf... He looked down and noticed a collar around Jongho's neck. The alpha had tears rolling down his cheek as he whimpered. He scooted closer so that their shoulders were touching.

He felt more movement behind him and craned his neck to see that he was bound with Mingi and Hongjoong. They were in a loose circle, all of them gagged and had collars.

That must be what was blocking out the wolf... And it burned whenever he moved his neck.

He stomach dropped. Where were their mates?

Both Hongjoong and Mingi looked like they had tried to put up a fight. Both had bruises on their faces and Mingi had a black eye.

Footsteps sounded in front of him and he turned his head back around to see Jasper walking over, a wide grin on his face. "Look who's decided to join the party."

San glared at him and started pulling against the ropes. But he felt Hongjoong press against his back and whimper.

"It's no use." Jasper said as he sat down on the couch. "You'll just end up hurting the others. You know, I must admit, this was a lot easier than I thought it would be. Boss made it sound like you would actually put up a fight, but you're all just pathetic and weak." He spat on the floor and leaned forward, smirking at Mingi. "Your father can't wait to see you again."

Mingi roared through the gag and started to pull against the ropes. Jongho was pulled back and he cried out as the collar tightened. San snapped his head to the side and made a harsh sound, getting Mingi's attention. The older glared at him, breathing heavily, but he didn't struggle anymore.

"I'm impressed." Jasper chuckled as he turned back to San. "You're stronger than I ever thought you'd be."

San froze as his heart started to pound. He felt like there was a hidden meaning behind his words, but he didn't know what.

"I thought you would have died a long time ago. After we left you."

San's heart dropped.

"Brother."

No. It couldn't be true. There was no way his family had found him again after all this time. And if this really was his brother, then why was this happening.

Jasper laughed. "So easy to read, baby brother. I couldn't believe it when I heard your name. You all are so foolish. I might have passed you by, but Mingi and San were a dead giveaway that you are they pack we are looking for. Fools."

San growled but made sure not to move. He wanted to badly to call on his wolf and rip his supposed brother to shreds.

More footsteps echoed from one of the hallways and another alpha walked out. He was much older, but there was no denying it now... San could see himself in the man's face. It was his father.

"Jasper, quit playing with them. We are almost ready to go. We need to get the others loaded." The man didn't even glance at San as he walked by.

A high pitched cry came out from one of the back rooms and both San and Jongho tried to get to their feet. The other two alphas cried out in pain and Jasper just laughed. The older male stopped and looked down the hallway. "Caius! Stop playing with him. You'll get your chance."

"But Father, he said we could!" A third alpha walked into the living room. San cried out into his gag when he saw he was pulling Wooyoung behind him by his hair. The omega was gagged and collared as well, and his arms were tied behind his back, so he was having a hard time keeping his balance.

Caius paused and a wicked grin crossed his face. "Saaaaaan! Oh my brother! How wonderful to see you again!" He pulled Wooyoung to him, wrapping an arm around his waist. "You got yourself quite the looker! Who know that a pathetic little runt would do so well for himself?"

"Caius!" The leader snapped, causing the alpha to flinch. "Get him in the car and start loading the others. I will NOT tell you again."

The younger alpha huffed and pulled Wooyoung with him.

San watched as his omega tried to break free and get to him. He felt Jongho squirming beside him.

Then Mingi roared as a female alpha came out leading Seonghwa. He too had a collar and gag, but his hands were tied in front of him and were attached to a rope that she was pulling on. He glanced at Mingi and paused, but the female yanked on the rope.

"Don't push your luck. Think of the baby." She snarled. Seonghwa whimpered, torn between protecting his baby and going to his alpha, but he let her pull him from the room.

Jasper got up to go to the back room, chuckling as he went. He came back with Yeosang, his head hung low and he too had to fight the instinct to get to his alpha. San could hear Hongjoong breathing heavily behind him as he fought the urge to struggle.

Then Caius came back in, smirking at San, before walked down the hallway again. He returned with Yunho slung over his shoulder. Jongho growled, but San leaned into him to try and calm him.

"What happened to him?" Jasper asked when he came back inside.

"Fool wouldn't stop struggling when I was having some fun with the youngest one." Caius chuckled. "He was going to kill himself if he kept it up so I took matters into my own hands."

The brothers laughed as they stepped outside, leaving the four alpha's alone with San's father.

The man still refused to look at them.

"Silas." His mother stepped inside and placed a hand on his back. "The others are loaded and secured."

"Thank you, love. Get the boys and we will work on these four." He gave her a long kiss before she left.

San felt his lower lip tremble as he watched the interaction. That was his parents. His mother and father. The two people who were supposed to love him most in the world, besides Wooyoung, and were supposed to raise him and care for him. But instead, they were the people who abandoned him and left him for dead. And now they were acting like he didn't exist...

He felt Jongho lean into him again and he pressed into him as well. What were they going to do? Now they were all going back to Alpha Pack...

His brothers came in and detached Mingi and Hongjoong and pulled them outside, giving them a punch or a kick if they struggled too much.

Jongho nudged San and they locked eyes. Even without their link, he knew Jongho was telling him not to fight him. He nodded slightly and his shoulder drooped.

His thoughts turned to his wolf, and how empty he felt without it. He tried reaching for it, but it felt like there was a barrier blocking him whenever he tried. It was one of the worst things he had ever experienced now that he had time to dwell on it.

They weren't made to live without their wolves... San's entire equilibrium seemed off. He felt like he couldn't see or smell properly and now his head started to hurt.

What the hell had they done to them? And how?

He tensed when his brothers walked through the front door, locking eyes with him immediately. They sneered and untied him from Jongho. True to their word, neither one of them struggled as they were led out of the house.

Four cars were parked out front, two of them the cars they had bought. They were taken to the last one and forced into the back seat where they were tied to it with ropes that had been dipped in wolfsbane. San felt it burning him whenever it touched his bare skin. His entire upper body was tied to the seat and then a chain was hooked onto his collar then attached to the back of the seat in front of him. Jongho was bound the same way.

"Can't risk you getting free." Jasper chuckled while patting San's cheek. "As long as none of you give us any problems, then we will take good care of you." He slammed the door and slipped into the driver's seat.

The rest of his family took their own car and they pulled away from the house.

San closed his eyes as he tried to figure out a way to get out of this situation. This what he was good at, he was a survivor. There had to be a way to escape.

He inhaled slowly and started twisting his wrists. He felt the ropes burning against his skin and bit down hard on the gag to prevent himself from making a sound. It didn't matter how much it hurt, he had to get them out of here.

God he missed his wolf. He continued to push against that barrier, looking for any kind of a break. There had to be a way...

"So baby brother, you went and found yourself a pack. I must say, I'm surprised anyone would want you since you're so small and pathetic." Jasper said, glancing at him in the rearview mirror.

San swallowed and pushed the words away from him. He had no idea what San had been through. He had no idea the pain and suffering San went through to make sure he survived.

He had no idea how many wolves he had killed to protect his family.
