Seonghwa didn't know if he should consider the fact that he was in a car with Wooyoung and the female alpha lucky or not. She was an alpha of few words, but she did seem to be the kindest out of all four of them. If kind was a way to describe the harshness to her tone and the stern look on her face.

They had at least been gentle with him once they figured out he was pregnant. He had a feeling it had to do with pleasing Mingi's father.

He wasn't bound as tightly as Wooyoung either, although he was still secured to the seat in the van.

The worst part was not feeling his wolf though... And he knew the others had to be feeling the same way. It was the loneliest he had ever felt.

Wooyoung let out a small sound next to him and Seonghwa risked glancing at him. His chest was rising and falling rapidly and tears rolled down his cheeks. He was squirming in his seat too.

Seonghwa wanted to tell him to stop struggling, but then his eyes flashed to where his wrists were working back and forth. He could see the burns on his arm from where the wolfsbane came in contact with his skin.

What on earth was he doing?

"Be quiet." The alpha snapped, not looking back. "The more you struggle, the more it will hurt. So knock it off before I put you in the van with Caius."

Wooyoung flinched and closed his eyes, but kept working his wrists. The older watched as he stretched his fingers up and looped one through the bracelet Lizbeth had given him. He pulled on the bracelet, hard, and there was a loud snapping sound. The beads rolled over the floor

The female looked at them in the mirror. Her eyes flashed red, but neither one of them had moved, so she kept driving.

Seonghwa felt his heart racing as he glanced back at his friend. Wooyoung turned his head slightly and sent him a concerned look.

He had no idea what the younger had done, but he hoped it had a purpose...

Yeosang kept his head turned slightly so he could keep an eye on Yunho. His fellow beta was still unconscious, and Caius had bound him so tightly to the chair, he doubted Yunho would be able to move an inch when he woke up.

He couldn't blame Yunho for flipping out though...

After San and Wooyoung had stepped outside, Jasper had pulled out some kind of ball from his pocket that released an odorless gas. It had knocked them all out instantly.

When they came to, their alphas were nowhere to be seen and they had been tied up in one of the bedrooms. Seonghwa was the only one in a chair and he had his hands bound in front of him, the other end of the rope tied to the end of the bed.

All of them had panicked when they realized they couldn't feel their wolves, but Yunho had come round first and had started worming across the floor to get to Wooyoung. He never got there though.

The door burst open and a different alpha walked into the room. He looked a lot like Jasper, but he also looked like San... It terrified Yeosang when he realized this could be his long lost family.

"Now, which one of you is the omega?" Caius asked with a wicked smile. "I know it's not you." He said, pointing at Seonghwa. "Because I was told there is an omega who can't have pups." His eyes went to Yeosang, then to where Yunho was growling at him through the gag, to where Wooyoung was lying frozen on the floor.

Caius leaned forward and pulled Wooyoung up by his hair. The omega screamed into his gag. "Hello handsome!" He purred, gripping Wooyoung's jaw in his hand. He inhaled deeply. "You reek of my brother, it figures he would pick someone just as weak and pathetic as him."

Yeosang felt his stomach flip. He had been right...

Next to him, Yunho was pulling so hard against his ropes, giant welts were appearing on his arm and his hands were turning blue. In turn, it was pulling on the collar around his neck. Both Yeosang and Seonghwa made a sound for him to stop, but they knew that Yunho would stop at nothing to protect his friend...

"Oh look at this, do we have someone else dying for your attention?" Caius said, holding Wooyoung close to him as he looked down at Yunho. "Pity. You're mine now." He said before tossing Wooyoung onto the bed and slamming his foot into Yunho's head.

Several times.

The beta tried to fight back at first, but eventually he was knocked unconscious.

Yeosang squirmed against his bonds, but they were too tight. He had to close his eyes as Wooyoung was pinned to the bed and Caius started to reach now his pants. The omega screamed at the top of lungs. The alpha only stopped when a deeper voice called out from the other room.

Now he was stuck in a car with the bastard and all he wanted to do was rip his throat out. He guessed he should be grateful that the female had insisted on keeping the omegas together for whatever reason. But he was worried about what would happen to Yunho when he regained consciousness.

San's family...

Yeosang was grateful they had left him because. He couldn't see him being a part of this awful family of alphas. He was too kind and gentle. Although, it did explain where he got his strength from. He had yet to see San in action, but the others had filled him in on just how strong he was. If his entire family was alphas, going generations back, it would make sense. Pure bred alphas were always stronger than mixed blood.

That would also explain why they were so willing to abandon him. If they thought he would ruin the blood line then they would leave him behind in a heartbeat.

Bastards. All of them.

Yeosang glanced back at Yunho, praying that he was ok.

Hongjoong glared at the back of Silas' head as he drove, picturing all the things he wanted to do to him to make him pay for harming his pack.

He could see the other cars driving along the road in front of them. Four cars. Four alphas. Two members of his pack in each car.

The odds were slim, especially with how prepared the alphas had been.

Jasper had played them perfectly...

Never again would he be so willing to help a stranger. He had been a fool... This was all his fault...

He locked his eyes on the car in front of them as he tried to run through scenario after scenario, trying to think of a way to get them out of this.

But after a few hours of driving, he was no closer to coming up with a plan.

Hongjoong was starting to doze off when he heard a loud screeching sound. Silas swore in front of him at the same time and the first car had to swerve off the road to avoid hitting a car who was stopped in the middle of the road, blocking the way.

The car exploded, sending a pillar of flames up into the air and lighting up the forest as trees caught on fire.

"Dammit!" Silas jumped out of the car and ran to where his mate was getting out of the one in front of them.

Hongjoong and Mingi started pulling against their bonds.

Then gunfire was heard and flashes came from the trees. If he had to guess, he would say that it was the Hunters.

And his pack were sitting ducks amongst the chaos.

He watched as the four alphas shifted and ran into the trees. Hongjoong cried out into the gag as his limbs burned. He needed to get free. He had to. He needed to get to Yeosang and make sure he was ok.

His door was yanked open and his eyes widened as a female with white hair pulled out a knife and sliced through the ropes binding him to the seat. He pulled the gag out of his mouth and tugged on the collar around his neck, hissing against the pain, as she clambered over him to free Mingi.

"L-Lizb-beth?" He sputtered as the collar fell from his throat and his wolf slammed back into him. He gasped, drawing in air as if he had been drowning.

She didn't say anything as she sliced through Mingi's ropes. He muttered a thank you as he too worked on his collar.

Then she pressed her finger to her lips and motioned for them to stay still. They nodded. Gun fire could still be heard, but it was now joined by screams of men and wolves.

Hongjoong? Mingi asked tentatively. Both alphas cried out and Hongjoong spun around to hug his friend.

"What is going on?" He turned to face the female again. Now that he saw her, she looked like she had been beaten within an inch of her life. "Lizbeth! What happened to you?"

She winced and said, "Later. I don't know where the Hunter's came from, but I'd be willing to bet the four alphas who attacked us did something to draw their attention."

"Us? Are they the ones who did this to you?" Mingi asked, placing a hand on her shoulder.

She nodded.

Do you think she told them where we went? Mingi asked, withdrawing his hand from her.

If she did, I doubt she did it willingly by the looks of her.

"Stay low and we will try to get to the next car." Lizbeth whispered as she jumped to the ground. The three of them hurried to the next vehicle.

Hongjoong yelped as a stray bullet flew by his head and he dove forward to crawl under the car. Mingi and Lizbeth retreated back to the one they had come from.

There is too much going on! Mingi sounded panicked.

More screams came from their left. It sounded like the Hunters were getting massacred. These alphas were strong... It also meant they were running out of time.

When the gunfire died down, Lizbeth slipped out of the car and she and Hongjoong opened the doors to the next one. He sobbed with relief when he saw Yeosang. His mate pulled against the bonds trying to touch him.

"Stay still my love." He said as Lizbeth went to work. When he was free, Yeosang immediately fell into his arms and held him tight not bothering to remove the gag or collar.

Lizbeth swore as she moved over to Yunho. Hongjoong saw that he was unconscious and had several bruises and burns on his body.

He called for Mingi as he worked on freeing his mate completely, comforting him as his wolf came back. The taller opened to door on Yunho's side and started to pull him from the car. "Yeosang, I want you to go with Mingi, ok? I'm going to help Lizbeth free the others." His beta nodded reluctantly and followed Mingi as he dragged Yunho from the car.

Lizbeth nodded and started to follow Hongjoong to the next car when there was an explosion nearby.

They were blasted away from each other and Hongjoong yelped as he rolled across the road. The fire surrounding them was getting hotter. He panted as he pushed himself of the ground. He noticed Lizbeth's knife lying next to him, so he grabbed it and ran to the next car, searching for her white hair as he ran.

She was pushing herself of the ground about 100 feet away. It looked like a few of her wounds had opened up again as she tried to push herself up on shaky legs.

Hongjoong wanted to run to her, but he was almost to the van, so he went there first. Seonghwa was the first face he saw and he was happy to see he looked unharmed.

He lifted the knife up to start cutting the ropes when Seonghwa cried out to him at the same time something hard was brought down on the back of his head. He blinked several times, but his vision turned black and he fell back.

Hongjoong! Yeosang cried out when he felt his mate lose consciousness. He started to run for him, but Mingi grabbed him.

"Stop!" the alpha cried out. Yeosang went to turn to him, stopping right before a bullet flew by his head.

His heart stopped and he held up his hand as several men with guns ran to their group of three.

"Freeze mutts!" One of them called out.

Yeosang glanced over the human's shoulder and saw two of the cars speeding away, forcing several of the Hunter's to dive out of the way. No! Hongjoong!

"Leave them! We can't afford to lose more men! We've got some here!" Another Hunter yelled.

They were surrounded.

Yeosang come back to me. Mingi said from where he was holding Yunho still. The beta obliged and moved next to Mingi.

"Don't shoot us!" The alpha cried out, gently lowering Yunho to the ground and holding his hands up.

"Shut up!"

"Please! I wish to make a deal!"

Several of the humans kept their guns pointed at them, but then a man walked forward sporting several medallions on his uniform. "And why should we make a deal with scum like you? Do you have any idea how long we have been hunting you and your kind?"

"Please, just hear me out." Mingi kept his voice firm even though Yeosang could feel how scared he was.

"No. You burned down half a city a week ago!" The man yelled.

"That wasn't us! I swear. My family didn't do that! But those four you were fighting, I know they did. Please, I'm begging you, let me explain."

The man snarled at him.

"Sir! We've got another one!"

Yeosang turned to see them dragging Lizbeth over. She hung limp in their arms until they threw her roughly to the ground. Yeosang pulled her into his arms and stroked her head. Her eyes were closed and she was bleeding in several places.

"Please." Mingi said again, keeping his hands raised.

The leader looked down on him, gauging the situation. "You have one minute."

"Those four alphas kidnapped my family. If you look in the vans they left behind you'll see the ropes they used to bind us."

"I thought your kind all stuck together." Someone sneered.

Yeosang could see Mingi visibly swallow his wolf down. "No. We have relationships, families, and enemies just like you do. They just drove away with the rest of our family. If you promise not to harm me, or my family, I can lead you to those four and more."

"And what would be better than killing you right now and just following them anyway?" The leader said, placing his hands behind his back.

"Because if you promise not to harm us, I can lead you to the biggest alpha pack there is. If you help me get my small family back, I can take you to their stronghold, where if you kill their leader, the rest of them will either flee or give you an excuse to kill them."

Mingi glared at the man.

"I can take you to the Alpha Pack."
