The entire camp was broken down in a hurry as the Hunters prepared to move out. Colonel Gregson had his orders and he would see them through.

The wolves were gathered in the motel room. Lizbeth had her eyes closed as was rocking back and forth, her white hair swayed with her, as she chanted the words to a spell over and over. The stones in her hand started to glow until they turned white.

She gasped, her face showing she was surprised that it actually worked, but that was quickly dismissed as she tied a cord around each of the stones, turning each one into a necklace.

"As long as we wear this, we should be immune to any of the spells Primera has set around the fortress."

"And they will work even when we are wolves?" Yunho asked, quickly tying his around his neck.

"Yes." Lizbeth answered. Her voice was firm and she gave a strong nod. "They will. And these," She handed Yunho and Yeosang a small pouch that they also slipped around their necks. "Should heal them. Not all the way, but enough that they can decide if they want to stay and fight or not."

"Ok, so we split up and go for Hongjoong and Jongho." Mingi said, running over the plan one more time. "The Hunters will be with us, some of them already on their way there now to start working on any traps. We get the others out before we head back in to look for San, Wooyoung, and Seonghwa."

Yunho placed a comforting hand on Mingi's shoulder. He knew the alpha was worried about his mate and baby. "We will get them."

Mingi took a deep breath and nodded. "Are we ready?"

"As ready as we can be." Yeosang said. His face was set in a scowl as he stared at the door. "Let's do this."

As soon as they set foot outside, Yunho was pleased to see that half the Hunger's were already gone, indicating they were headed north.

The four of them embraced each other and then stripped before transforming. Yunho turned to the silvery-grey wolf next to him. Lizbeth nodded her head, relinquishing her command to him.

Mingi and Yeosang took off to where Hongjoong was, and Lizbeth followed him to where he sensed Jongho was.

Hold on, Jongho. I'm coming. Yunho sent to him in a private link.

Hu....rry......

Yunho whined and lengthened his stride, pushing himself to the limit as he ran.

.

Jongho could feel the life slipping away from him. He didn't even have the strength to keep his eyes open. He missed Yunho so much right now...

If he could see him one last time, that would be enough for him.

Blood still poured from his wound as he lay there.

Time passed so slowly.

He saw something flashing on the other side of his eyelids and he figured this had to be it. He was going to die.

Yu....nho..... I lo.....

.

.

.

.

Yeosang could hear gunfire ahead of him. The Hunters had either set off the traps or Alpha Pack had set up an ambush. But he couldn't worry about that.

The Hunters knew what they looked like, so he and Mingi could dart past them while doing their best to avoid any other wolves.

The death toll was already high. Bodies, both human and wolf, were everywhere. He did his best to force out the screams of the men and the snarls of the wolves and he pushed forward.

Hongjoong! Can you hear me?

Yeo...

Yeosang ran faster, his eyes darting back and forth as he looked for his mate amongst the chaos.

Hongjoong was lying by the gate, and he looked paper white from the blood loss. Yeosang whined as he slid to a stop and shifted. He ripped the pouch from his neck. "Hold him down." He said to Mingi as he gripped the knife.

Then he pulled. Hongjoong screamed and thrashed on the ground and even more blood poured out of him. Yeosang pulled open the pouch and tilted it upside down. A fine, green powder fell over the wound and both he and Mingi gasped as they watched the wound seal itself up completely.

Color rushed back into Hongjoong's face and his eyes flew open. He immediately found Yeosang and pulled him into his arms. "I knew you'd come for me."

"Always." Yeosang said, nuzzling the mark on his mate's neck. "Now let's get this off you." He said, pulling the collar from Hongjoong's neck.

His alpha gasped and leaned into Yeosang for support as he got readjusted to his wolf coming back. Then they hugged again, both wolves purring at the contact.

"As much as I love this, you need to decide if you can fight or not. There's no getting out of this now." Mingi said, his head swiveling back and forth as he watched the fighting.

Hongjoong finally took in what was happening and covered his mouth. "How..."

"It's a long story that I'll explain later." Mingi gave him a tense smile.

"Here." Yeosang pulled out another necklace from Lizbeth and tied it to Hongjoong's neck. "This will protect us. If you don't feel up to fighting then head south until you find a motel. The Hunter's there know not to attack any wolves that come there."

"I'm not leaving you again." Hongjoong answered quickly.

The three of them stood and shifted, running through the gates and into the thick of Alpha Pack.

Seonghwa sighed as he washed his hands. He had been fairly lucky when it came to the so-called morning sickness so far, but for whatever reason it was hitting him really hard today. He had hardly left the bathroom all day and hadn't eaten much for breakfast or lunch.

Juno constantly popped in to check on him. She tried giving him some herbs for the nausea and they kind of helped, but not for long.

Deep down, he knew it was probably worse because he had heard nothing about his family for several days now. He was most worried about Wooyoung. The idea of Caius and Jasper taking him away made his stomach flip in other ways besides the nausea.

He was just about to settle down in the rocking chair when he heard something coming from outside. It sounded like gunfire. He rushed to the window and craned his neck, trying to figure out what was going on.

It looked like everyone who was outside was shifting and heading to either gate.

Seonghwa's heart started to pound.

"Please let this be Mingi."

San continued to cry out, trying to drown out the sounds that kept coming through the speakers. He had lost track of how many times he had listened to his brothers take advantage of Wooyoung. He was still shivering from how wet he was, but he knew the fact that he was sweating from his struggling didn't help either.

But he couldn't give up. He wouldn't.

He pulled against his bindings again, not caring that his skin split open or that his muscles ached.

Every fiber of his being told him to keep fighting, knowing that eventually he was going to get his revenge.

He flinched when he heard a strangled cry come from Wooyoung. His voice was so raw from the abuse... San sobbed at the sound and his head fell forward. He would give anything to trade places with his omega...

The collars had stopped burning him a long time ago. He feared he would have permanent damage around his neck.

Then he heard Wooyoung scream and he pulled harder. The screaming got louder and higher in pitch. What were they doing to him??

San roared into his gag and threw himself forward repeatedly. His heart pounded so hard it felt like it was going to burst.

It didn't.

But something else did.

He roared as felt himself be torn apart again. He was filled with so much rage, he felt himself getting lost in it as his bindings were shredded around him.

His wolf needed blood.

He craved it. Desired it.

San drooled on the floor as his shoulders heaved with his deep breaths. He walked forward on shaky legs, took the door handle in his mouth, and yanked the door off its hinges.

Someone came running by, shouting something that San didn't care about.

All he saw was a target.

He lunged.

His teeth sank into flesh and trembled with pleasure as he felt the life leave the body in his grasp.

He needed more.

Yunho slid to a stop next to Jongho, shifting at the same time. "Jongho!" He brought his alpha into his arms and brushed his hair away from his white face. "Jongho, please, please wake up." His voice cracked as Jongho's head fell to the side. Two knives were sticking out of his stomach.

Lizbeth crouched next to him. Her hands were shaking from exhaustion as she examined him. "Pull the knife out and get the power on him now."

Yunho obeyed. Jongho didn't even react when he pulled either knife out. He sobbed, fearing it was too late. The mating bond felt weak too.

"L-L-Lizb-beth... Please..." He held the pouch out to her as his hands were shaking more than hers.

When she took it, he leaned forward and pressed his foreheads. "D-Don't you d-dare leave me!"

Fighting was taking place all around them, but he pushed it all aside. The Hunters would do their job, he had to trust them.

Lizbeth opened the pouch and sprinkled the powder inside over both Jongho's wounds. They started to heal, but very slowly...

"Yunho take my hand. He needs our strength." Lizbeth said, reaching for him. She took one hand and started chanting something, He caught mentions of Primera and Lunar, so it must be an old spell. He never took his eyes off Jongho's face as he felt his energy flowing out of him.

It was at this moment that he felt blessed to be from an ancient, magical pack. They had the spell book that was going to help them, and now Lizbeth knew another spell that could help.

He bent forward and kissed Jongho, trying not to flinch at how cold his lips felt. "Please don't leave me..."

Gunfire sounded close to them and Yunho looked up just in time to see two Hunters gun down an alpha that was heading directly for them. The wolf yelped and fell to the ground. It didn't get up.

When Yunho glanced down again, he brought his hand to his mouth to cover his sob. Color was slowly returning to Jongho's face.

Lizbeth removed her hands and slumped back, but she smiled as his chest started to rise and fall. "I think he'll be ok. But you should get him away from the front line until he recovers."

"Where are you going?" Yunho asked, eyes widening as he watched her push her weakened body off the ground.

"To make things right."

Wooyoung barely registered when someone pounded on the door stating that Jasper and Caius were needed outside. He thought he heard something about an attack, but he was too far gone to grasp the conversation.

He didn't know how many times they had visited him over the course of the day. At least they attempted to let him rest, but it was never for very long.

As they rushed out of the room, he found himself staring at the door. He knew it was only a matter of time before they came back and tied him up in a different position.

Wooyoung sat up quickly and looked down at his hands, making sure he wasn't imagining things.

They had left so quickly, they forgot to tie him up again.

He quickly fumbled with taking the collar off his neck and cried out when his wolf slammed back into him. His energy was renewed as he fell to his knees and hugged himself.

San? Jongho? Can anyone hear me?

Silence.

But at least he had his wolf.

Gritting his teeth, he went to the door and twisted the handle. He didn't expect it to be unlocked, but it was worth a try.

Wooyoung looked around the room for anything he could use to try and pick the lock, but the room was bare of anything other than the bed, a table, and a couple of chairs.

He winced when he glanced at the chairs, not wanting to remember what had happened to him while tied to them, but he forced himself to go over and drag the table to the door and push it in front. Then he yanked the bed away from the wall and wedged it between the table and the bed, making it impossible for someone to push open the door.

Nodding at his handy work, Wooyoung picked up one of the chairs and threw it at the window with all his strength.

It shattered and he heard the crunch of wood as the chair broke against the ground.

He sighed as the wind blew in his face. He felt so much better.

Calling upon his wolf, he shifted, wincing at the pain from not being in this form for such a long time. He shook out his fur and stretched before he bounded forward and leapt out the window.

It was on the second story, but as a wolf the drop was nothing.

He landed amongst chaos.

Alphas and some betas were running every direction, trying to get organized, and he could hear gunfire coming from outside the walls.

So he did the foolish thing and turned away from the exit and ran back into the fortress, dodging random alphas as he went.
