"Are you sure it's ok if I leave?" San asked as they got Hongjoong situated in a small cave they found.

"Yes. I don't think all three of us need to sit here and do nothing." Jongho growled. He was very moody right now so San knew he needed to tread carefully.

"When he wakes up, this is where you're going." San projected the image into the alpha's head. Jongho nodded as his eyes glazed over. "It's north of here. Seonghwa was outside the fortress, so inside must be blocked by something that prevents the mind link."

"Where are you going to go?" Jongho blinked rapidly, then looked up at San with a few tears in his eyes.

"I think I'm going to head south. If they are far enough away that we can't link with them then I'm going to go in the opposite direction we have been traveling to start with. Plus I think I heard there was a sanctuary down there by one of the cities. It's a start." San leaned forward and placed a hand on Jongho's knees. "I will find them. I won't stop until I do."

"I'm worried about Woo..." Jongho said, his body trembling. "I don't want him to have to go through that again. He needs his alphas."

San sucked in a breath at Jongho's words. It had been the first time he had admitted that San was an equal to him when it came to the alpha status. He smiled sadly. "And he'll get them back. He has Yunho to help him through it."

"We don't know that... We don't know what happened to them."

"Jongho you can't give up hope. You can still feel them, right?" The other alpha nodded. "Then they are alive. That's what's important."

Jongho took a deep breath and looked at Hongjoong. His head tossed back and forth in his sleep, his forehead creased in pain.

"We are going to get them all back." San said.

"Hurry back. We need you, San." Jongho looked up at him, his lower lip was still trembling but he did manage a weak nod.

San leaned forward and gave him a quick hug before stripping and shifting. He turned south and ran as fast as he could.

Deep breaths, Youngie. You need to try and stay calm. Yunho said as he glanced down at the omega between his legs. He couldn't really blame him for freaking out though... They hadn't heard from anyone in days, the bigger males in the pen were getting more aggressive, and the humans were trying harder to get closer to them.

It was getting to the point where neither of them could sleep without something happening. But Yunho knew he needed to do his best to keep his friend calm.

He lowered his head and licked the top of Wooyoung's head. The omega whimpered and shivered. I'm scared. What if they don't find us in time?

We will cross that bridge when we get there. But I know neither Jongho nor San will give up on us. And now that we are one pack, I'd be willing to bet the others are worried too. Yunho lowered his nose so he could rub it against the side of Wooyoung's face. We are going to be ok.

Wooyoung whimpered, but he managed to calm down a little bit and close his eyes. Yunho stayed crouched over him as the other wolves started to stir.

Their alphas needed to hurry... Wooyoung wasn't going to last much longer...
