What the fuck is that annoying dripping sound? Jongho growls as he slowly peeks his eyes open, looking around before his eyes roll to the back of his head. He groans, scrunching his face up in pain as his stiff body slowly sits up. That made his head pound harder and he growls, "What the fuck happened?"

"We were fucking ambushed," Chan says in the darkness, Jongho can barely make him out in the darkness. They were in some sort of cell, the flooring was concrete or stone, he honestly wasn't sure but it was cold and jagged against his body.

He hears another groan and looks over to see Hongjoong slowly sitting up, groaning at the stiffness in his body, "Fuck," he seemed to realize where he was and quickly stood, looking around, "Where the fuck are we?!"

"We were brought to some place, my guess is somewhere not even close to the territories we were in," Chan spoke, his voice emotionless, "The same people must have set traps, knowing we'd go to those territories. And now, there's no telling where we're at or who took us."

"I can tell you," a voice from the bars of the cell spoke, chuckling darkly.

Hongjoong growls, walking to the bars, "Baekhyun."

The Alpha smirks, stepping into the small amount of light provided by a lantern he held in his hand. He sets the lantern down on the ground, putting his hands behind his back as he tilts his chin up, "I'm pleased to see you again Hongjoong. It's been way too long."

"Fuck you mutt!!" Hongjoong snarls, his eyes flashing a bright red, "Where is he?!"

"I can't seem to recall who you're speaking about," Baekhyun says coyly, Hongjoong grabs him by the shirt collar and pulls him into the bars. Baekhyun's head smashes against them, and he is quick to snarl and pull away before Hongjoong could bash his face in the cell anymore. He wipes his forehead, a cut now on the top of his forehead was bleeding and he snarls, "Well, I know how to prolong your death now."

"Where. Is. Seonghwa," Hongjoong snarls one last time, "Tell me or I'll rip you to shreds."

Baekhyun chuckles, "He's fine, and same with your bastard pups, for now."

Hongjoong snarls, "If you laid a hand on him-"

Baekhyun snorts, "I know in the past I've beaten him for touching you, but I'm not going to beat a pregnant man. I'm not Kai."

Hongjoong's heart races and Baekhyun chuckles, "Tonight is going to be the night you watch me take everything you've loved, and watch you break apart. I've been waiting for this moment the day I first seen you around him." Hongjoong's heart shatters and Baekhyun chuckles once more before turning away, only to look over his shoulder at the group of wolves, "Oh... and don't worry about your pups. If they're alphas, they'll be perfect for the front line of our military. If they're Betas or Omegas, they'll be perfect breeders for the others. That is, if my suspicions are correct and Seonghwa is having more than one."

Hongjoong snarls, beating against the cell, reaching out for Baekhyun as he walks away, taking his light source with him and leaving them all in the darkness once more.

Seonghwa hisses as another cramp slowly creeps up his back and making it even more uncomfortable to sit. Baekhyun has left him and Wooyoung in the dining room with other Alphas and Betas, making both Omegas highly uncomfortable. Kai day by Wooyoung, the Omega keeping his gaze locked to the table and his hand held tightly with Seonghwa's.

He senses Seonghwa gripping his hand slightly, looking at him from the corner of his eyes and seeing the older rub his belly and scrunch his eyes shut.

"Are you okay?" Wooyoung whispers when Kai is distracted.

"I-I don't know," Seonghwa whimpers, taking in deep breathes, "It hurts." Wooyoung's eyes widen, leaning towards him, but before he can do anything, Kai jerks him back towards him with a vicious growl. Wooyoung looks to him before looking back at Seonghwa was taking in one more deep breath before sighing, "It's over."

"That lasted for five minutes," Wooyoung whispers, "Hyung... your water hasn't broken yet but I think you're in labor."

"Don't," Seonghwa whispers back, "I can't stress-"

"It's already happening!" Wooyoung whispers harshly, once more looking to check and see if Kai is distracted before looking back at him, "One way or another, you're going to give birth here. I know you don't want to think about it, but your babies will probably be born here."

"No," Seonghwa denies, his eyes watering and his lip wobbles as he shakes his head, "I can keep them in."

"No, you cannot," Wooyoung hisses, "Just... keep calm. Hongjoong is probably almost here-"

"Shall we begin?" Baekhyun calls to the hall of Alphas and Betas, Seonghwa looking up at Baekhyun through his eyelashes as Baekhyun smiles and places a hand behind his seat, "Tonight, we honor reunion. I am finally reunited back with my Luna, who is pregnant with my pups. Kai has his Omega as well. My Luna's pack is united under my command now thanks to my victory over Park Chanyeol!"

Seonghwa's eyes widen as he looks up to Baekhyun, "What?"

Baekhyun arches his eyebrow, "My love have you not heard? Your father has been dead for over a year now. He refused to give me what was mine until you were back and in my arms once more. So I had no choice but to rip his throat out and feed him to the rogues."

Seonghwa's chest felt like it had been punched in and a giant hole was left in it's wake. His father, he may not have had the best relationship with the man, but he was still his father. And now, Baekhyun had taken his old pack and merged them with his own. Looking around, he seen some familiar faces now and he can't believe they didn't click in his mind until just this minute.

"Let's eat shall we?" Baekhyun claps his hands and a swarm of Betas come in and start serving their appetizers, Seonghwa suddenly not feeling hungry.

Wooyoung squeezes his hand, sending condolences to the Luna as he felt another cramp coming. Once their food was served, Baekhyun commanded them all to eat and no one argued. Seonghwa cups his belly, leaning forward and whimpering as his contraction passes. Baekhyun looks at him with a frown, "Love, are you alright?"

"Do not call me that," Seonghwa hisses, his golden eyes flash as he looks at Baekhyun before he lets out a small whisper in pain.

"Are you in labor?" Baekhyun asked, a little too excited if you asked Seonghwa.

Seonghwa moans softly in pain, gripping the table as the pain ripples through his lower back and put more pressure on his hips. Wooyoung puts a comforting hand on Seonghwa's belly and back, "Breathe."

"Well, this pushes things earlier than I planned," Baekhyun hums, looking to another alpha in the room, "Bring them in."

They were gone for a moment, Kai growling as Wooyoung helped Seonghwa, "Get back here."

"I need to help him," Wooyoung growls back, surprising the other, "No one else is going to."

"You do not speak to me that way," Kai snarls instantly trying to make Wooyoung whimper and surrender.

But Wooyoung isn't backing down anytime soon. His golden eyes stare back at Kai's bright red eyes, his lips curl up as he growls, "Unlike him, I've been through this. He needs help!"

He freezes when he realized he admitted to something he didn't want Kai knowing, and now, the Alpha snarls, standing as he over towers both Omegas. He leans in, gripping Wooyoung's chin in his large hand, Wooyoung whimpers then. He snarls in the Omega's face, "That child was yours?"

Wooyoung seems to snap back into his wolf as his eyes flicker gold once more and he growls, "Do not speak of her."

"She's a mutt," Kai snarls, "She is worthless just like her mother, born from a bastard's knot."

Wooyoung snaps, his hand connecting with Kai's cheek harshly as he slaps him hard, and he stands as he snarls, "My baby is not a mutt!"

"Enough!" Baekhyun roars, everyone seemed to have bowed their heads as he growls at Kai, "Kai, save it for them!" He points to the middle of the floor, and Seonghwa gasps as he catches eyes with Hongjoong, Mingi, and the others. All were bound at their wrists, and an alpha stood behind each one of them.

Wooyoung's chest tightens as he sees Jongho and moves to go to him. However, Kai grabs his throat and holds him close to his chest. Wooyoung gasps, and Jongho snarls, going to stand but is forced to sit back down when the alpha behind him holds a dagger to his throat.

"Baekhyun," Seonghwa looks to the alpha and his eyes water, "What is this?"

Baekhyun smirks, "This is your show, watching your mate die right before your eyes. But," he leans in and growls, "Not before I burn his mark away on your neck and make you mine in front of him."
