Marcus
"This is your last trip son. If you can't find them, you'll have to pick someone to lead beside you. You've been to every pack, some of them twice, and multiple places with different creatures and humans. It's rare for an alpha not to find their mate but it happens sometimes." Dad explains and I nod sighing. "I can feel them out there, I just don't know where he is." I growl in frustration. I look at the map dad has laid out. There's an area circled with a pack I've visited already and a town close by I have not. "I'll head to the town first and then the pack one more time before going east and circling back." I say and dad nods. "Just remember to stay safe, you have to remember the pack is important as well. Would you like me to gether candidates that would fit well as a luna or second alpha?" He asks and I rub my face before sighing again and nodding. "Thanks dad. And I know know, I just wanted to rule with my true mate." He nod and I grab the duffle bag with cla couple of clothes and head out hoping this time I will find them.

Omega POV
I'm just becoming numb from the wolfsbane I was injected with when I hear the creak of the door. "Can't believe he's coming again. What happens if he finds the stupid omega? I'll be killed at most, since everyone things they're oh so precious or something. But I know the truth. They're a weakness, they make a pack weak with a need to protect." Alpha walks down the stairs grumbling and his son is following up to the table I'm shackled to. "There's another alpha from another pack coming. We have to mask you stupid wretched scent more than we usually do." Alpha says and his son gulps. "Your new alpha is starting with you today. Gotta learn the ropes and all." I glance at his chest in a daze, making sure not to look them in the face. "Dad, the guys at school from another pack said omegas were supposed to be treasured and kept safe. This isn't right."
Alpha bangs his hand on the table close to my head, but doesn't touch me. I haven't been touched since I was five and found out I was an omega. My hands begin to shake as he yells at his son. "This is your reality, if you want the alpha position you WILL do this." He growls and his son glares at him before Al pi ha thrust the syringe into his hand. "Rember no touching, just stab the needle under the skin and press down. The alpha poison will mask his scent for a while and the wolfsbane will keep him still and quiet."
He then walks back upstairs and I'm left with his son. He growls and turns around punching the wall. "This is fucked up. No way am I doing this he can fuck himself, but I'm am getting you out of here. He tosses the syringe across the floor and unties the ropes and reaches to pull me up when the door is slammed open. "Hurry the fuck up that Alpha is-" he freezes when he sees me untied and his sons hand almost touching me.

Murcus
I step out with my beta to the pack house and walk towards the door. "Man I hope their here because I'd hate for you not to find them. There has to be a reason for it taking this long." He says and I nod. "I hope so too. I say before knocking on the door. After a minute is slowly opens by the beta who looks very nervous. "H-Hi, Marcus. Um. Now's not a very good time." He stutters and I give him a strange look. Aloha Wilson gave me permission to look for my mate and thats why I'm here, so if you'll step aside."
He gulps and glances back inside just as thersa loud crash. I rush inside and down to the basement to see the problem...only to find Wilson on top of Cole, his son. I catch a scent and look to my left. Sitting in a corner staring wide eyed and fearful...is my mate. I let out a growl and Wilson immediately stops and glances at me then at my mate. "Fuck!" He growls and lunches at me, but I easily overpower and pin him down. "Dude that's an omega." My beta Seth says. Cole stand and nods. "Turns out my father has had him down here with very few people knowing for I don't know how long. He's been injecting wolfsbane in his along with alpha poison sometimes." I ram my knee farther into his back at what his son is saying. "He told me if I wanted to be alpha of this pack I'd have to do what he's been doing but I refuse to believe omega's are lowely and stand firm that they should be treated with kindness."
I let Cole and Seth handle Cole's dad and slowly step over to the small omega...my mate. I smile at him and hold out my hand. "Hi sweetheart, would y I u like to get out of this gross basement?" I ask and he bites his lip. Not supposed to touch others...too dusgusting and may spread weakness." He murmurs and I look at him wide eyed. "May I ask who told you that and how long it's been since youve been touched by anyone?" I ask and he blinks at me, not looking above my chest before saying. "Alpha, told me as soon as he found out I was an omega. Haven't been touch since...kept down here to prevent touching." I lower my head and take a deep breath. To keep from ripping Wilson a new one as well as in saddness for my mate. He's not felt the touch of another person since he was five.
I lift my head and smile at him. "Well it's not true, your special and even more so to me. So lets get you to a pack who will treat you right and love you for being who you are." I carefully grab his hand and ease him up before lifting him into my arms so he doesn't collapse. He gasps and curls his fingers into my shirt squeezing his eyes closed. I smile at his reactikn and walk towards the stairs. "I'll have my dad come back and help you set up to become aloha, Seth please help him take Wilson to the cells and Cole may arrange for him to be transferred when he's ready. I'm going to take my mate with me to the car and we can leave when your finished."
