"Hold him down! Don't be so pathetic!"

"We are trying Sir!" Several men cried out as they were thrown into walls.

"Try harder!"

"Can't we just sedate him Sir?"

"No! He must drink it all, and he must drink it willingly."

"Look out!"

"Finish the job! He must be mine you idiots!"

Bone crunched. Blood covered the floors. Men cried out in pain. Snarls and screams filled the chamber.

"He's fading!"

"Grab him!"

"Hold him down! That's it, that's it!"

"He's drinking!"

"Good. Now he's MINE."

Seonghwa managed to keep a low profile, much to his surprise. There wasn't a lot of organization at this place unless a meeting was called and direction was given. Other than that, it looked like everyone went about their normal lives.

There were doctors, cooks, gardeners, builders, crafters, and of course guards and other military type alphas.

And alphas definitely made up most of the population. There were a few stronger betas that were in the guard, several who did the trades, but omegas were nonexistent... If he had to guess, the few omegas they had rounded up were being kept prisoner somewhere...

He had to be careful how close he got to the other wolves, but he had managed to continue to get into that room to change out his uniform when he felt the alpha smell was starting to fade. They didn't guard the inside of the fortress very well.

Even so, Seonghwa still had yet to find Yeosang or Mingi... He was always listening for a sign, but wherever they were, it must have been a secret to most of the alphas here.

He tried to explore the inside of the fortress, but the deeper he got, the more alphas there were and the harder it was to avoid him. He was sure that must be where they were being kept.

Several days passed before he managed to slip out of the front gate again to try and check in.

Jongho? San? Hongjoong?

Seonghwa! Jongho answered quickly.

Oh thank goodness. I'm sorry it's been so long... Things aren't easy here and there are a lot of alphas...

It's ok. Are you ok though? Any luck?

No... What about you three? Seonghwa turned to make sure he wasn't followed.

San left a few days ago to look for Wooyoung and Yunho... His voice sounded broken.

He... Still hasn't found them...?

No...

Jongho... Are you ok?

He was met with silence, but he could feel the alpha's pain through their link. San hadn't made it in time...

I'm sure he's ok.

I can still feel Yunho, so I have hope... But now both Hongjoong and I have lost a mate... He still hasn't recovered. I'm worried Seonghwa. And I'm in no state to protect him if someone finds us. I don't know what to do...
