The next morning, the three men were sitting at a random pub in a small town far west from the pack. They hadn't been able to talk much on the way here since they had to run in their wolf forms. Kyle and Alex could talk to each other using the pack link, however Kai was left out of any conversation they might have been having considering he was no longer connected to the pack. The entire way here, Kai rode on Kyle's back in complete silence, seemingly not wanting to talk to either man.

"What can I get for you boys?" A young, busty bar maiden asked, her eyes sweeping among the three before landing on Alex with expressed interest. She immediately perked up at the sight of the strong Alpha.

"Just bring us whatever you got and make it snappy," Kai said, his voice laced with snarky malice. The maiden glared at the Omega before quickly walking away.

"Damn Kai, who pissed in your boots?" Kyle said with a small chuckle.

"You know exactly who pissed in my boots you giant mutt," Kai retorted, shaking a finger at the Beta before continuing, "you know who we are seeing and you know exactly how I feel about him."

"Okay, can someone please clue me in on what the hell is happening? Seriously Kai, you drag me out into the middle of nowhere without as much as a simple explanation."

Kai turned to Alex who had just spoken and gave him a weird look. It was obvious to the Alpha that Kai was extremely uncomfortable, but before the Omega could say anything, the maiden had returned with three glasses. After setting them on the table, she set a hand on Alex's shoulder and gave it a little squeeze.

"This is our finest mead brewed right here in shop! I am sure that it won't disappoint you fine gentlemen." The three men could tell that this "fair" lady was putting an air on to seem impressive. Even her accent changed when at their table to be more suitable, pretending to be an educated woman rather than a simple bar maid. She had her eyes set on one man and her claws were already digging in, quite literally.

"Not to be rude, but can you please fuck off."

"Kai!" Alex and Kyle said in unison before the bar maiden let out an angry "humph" and walked away, her eyes shooting daggers into the little Omega.

"We have more important matters than sitting and watching this jerk getting hit on by some bar maiden."

"Ah, I see so your..." Kyle started to say before getting kicked in the shin.

"To answer your question, we are here to get some materials that we will need to take care of our issue. The person we are going to see is a bit... well he's a bit over the top to put it politely."

The three men woke up to find themselves hanging upside down in what looked to be an underground mine shaft. The area that they were in now was a massive cavern in the actual shaft where the center was a small island surrounded by deep seemingly bottomless pits. The only thing connecting the island to the surrounding parts of the cave were dozens of railways that all converged to the small island.

In the center of the island was a large throne made out of solid gold and adorned with jewels of every shape and color imaginable. Surrounding the throne were gold and silver trinkets that were piled up high. In all senses of the word, it was a mound of treasure.

"Seriously Kai, what the hell did you get us into?" Asked Alex. The Alpha had every right to question the Omega. This whole trip was one big mystery leading up to this morning when Kai led them to the entrance of a giant mine in the middle of the woods where they were immediately ambushed by unseen assailants. That is how they found themselves hanging upside down above a giant bottomless pit.
