Minjun and Hansol tried to link with Seungcheol and the others, but there was no response. They moved forward, following the scent of their pack members.
Jeonghan and Joshua were still reeling from the revelation that they were true bloods. "How is this possible?" Jeonghan wondered.
Meanwhile, Seungcheol and his group broke into the hideout, entering a tunnel that led deep beneath the earth. With each step, Seungcheol's heart raced faster, his senses heightened as he caught the scent of his mates.
Finally, they reached the Rogues' hideout and burst in. The Rogues sneered, "Ah, Seungcheol. Right on time."
Seungcheol growled, his eyes scanning the room for Jeonghan and Joshua. He could smell their scent, but they were nowhere to be seen.
Jeonghan and Joshua, trapped in the basement, heard their alpha's growl and screamed his name, but their voices were muffled by the spell that bound them.
Rogue 1 sneered, "You'll never find them, Seungcheol. They're our prisoners now."
Seungcheol's eyes blazed with fury as he charged at the Rogues. "You'll pay for what you've done!"
The Rogues snarled, baring their teeth, but Seungcheol was unstoppable. He fought his way through the hideout, his pack members by his side.
Meanwhile, Jeonghan and Joshua struggled against their bonds, desperate to break free. They could hear Seungcheol's roars, growing louder with every passing moment.
Seungcheol was in the midst of a fierce battle, his claws swiping at the Rogues with precision. Amidst the chaos, he demanded to know the whereabouts of his mates. "Where are they?" he growled, his eyes blazing with intensity.
But the Rogues remained stubbornly silent, their faces twisted in snarls. Seungcheol's frustration boiled over, and he unsheathed his claws, raking them across the nearest Rogue's chest. The wolf yelped in pain, but Seungcheol's attack only seemed to enrage the others.
The fight intensified, the sound of snarling and snapping filling the air. Seungcheol's determination to find his mates drove him forward, his movements swift and deadly. But the Rogues were relentless, and it seemed they would stop at nothing to keep Seungcheol from his mates.
Just as Seungcheol thought he was gaining the upper hand, the Rogues' leader arrived, pinning him to the ground with a swift and powerful blow. The leader, eyes gleaming with malevolent intent, began to chant in a low, hypnotic tone, weaving a spell that seemed to ensnare the very air around them.
As the spell took hold, the other wolves - Seungcheol's pack members and allies - froze in place, unable to move or escape. They stood like statues, their eyes fixed on Seungcheol with a mixture of fear and helplessness.
The Rogues, however, seemed immune to the spell's effects. They moved freely, their eyes gleaming with triumph as they closed in on Seungcheol. The leader's spell had turned the tables, leaving Seungcheol vulnerable and at their mercy.
After the spell took effect, everyone transformed into their human forms. The Rogues' leader, a sly grin spreading across his face, began to taunt Seungcheol.
"Choi Seungcheol... mm, why are the Choi's true bloods?" he mused, Seungcheol, still pinned to the ground, struggled against the spell's restraints.
"What are you talking about?" Seungcheol snarled, his eyes blazing with fury.
The Rogues' leader chuckled. "You're a true blood, Seungcheol. And soon, I'll harness your powers to rule over the entire pack. Just wait... after I've claimed your abilities, I'll destroy you and make your mates, Jeonghan and Joshua, mine to enjoy."
Seungcheol's eyes raged at the mention of his mates' names. He growled, baring his teeth, but the Rogues' leader merely laughed.
"Save the growling, Seungcheol. Soon, I'll claim your mates and rip your soul from—"
But the Rogues' leader's sentence was cut short as a low, ominous growl echoed through the air. Seungcheol smirked, his eyes locked on the Rogues' leader, who looked confused and concerned.
