Colonel Gregson, as they found out his name was, agreed to meet with them and talk about a possible plan. The idea of passing up a large pack of wolves was too good to be true.

The Hunters led them back to a base camp they had set up nearby and several guards were posted both inside and outside of the Colonel's tent to keep an eye on Ming and the others.

Thankfully, they brought supplies so Yeosang could patch up Yunho and Lizbeth. Mingi wasn't looked forward to what would happen when Yunho woke up. He turned to the Colonel. "When he comes to, he's not going to be very happy to when he finds out what happens." His voice got softer. "Please... Please don't attack him and give me a chance to calm him down. We have been through a lot today."

The man arched and eyebrow but then nodded to his men in the tent.

Mingi sighed and sat in a chair they had provided, leaning forward to rest his head in his hands. "So they destroyed a town, and that's how you found them?"

"Yes. You said they kidnapped your... pack?" Colonel Gregson spat out the word.

The alpha couldn't even bring himself to flinch. "Yes. We've been on the run for months now..."

"Tell me about this... This Alpha Pack." The man said, sitting down behind his desk.

"A few of the packs north of here decided they want to take over and control the others. One alpha started building an army of other alphas. There ended up being a huge battle and many lives were lost."

"We found that. Admittedly we were a little puzzled about it so I'm glad we got that cleared up. But hearing that someone is building an army of mutts is concerning."

Mingi couldn't contain his glare this time. "You know, we don't judge you for being different from us." He said quietly. "Most of us, like my family, does our best to stay away from humans and mind our own business."

The Colonel shifted in his seat.

"We just want to live in peace with our loved ones like you." Yeosang added from behind Mingi. "We have families, homes, jobs, and love, just like you." His eyes flashed blue. "And right now our loved ones are getting farther and farther away, so if you would kindly get off your high horse and help us, then you never have to see us again!"

A few guns pointed at Yeosang but the Colonel held up a hand and they were lowered.

Deep breath, Sangie. Mingi said. He made eye contact with the beta and watched as the blue in his eyes vanished and he turned back to tending to Yunho.

"Why is this Alpha Pack after you?"

Mingi took a deep breath. "Because we escaped from them earlier. They are rounding up our kind to add alphas to their army and to use the others to..." He ground his teeth together. He knew he needed to make his point, but he hated thinking about it. "They call them Breeders. They want to use the ones who can get pregnant to grow their army in the future."

Several of the Hunters swore and turned to the Colonel. He raised his hand again to silence them, his eyes fell to Yeosang. Mingi turned around too and saw that the beta was crying. He hurried to his side and wrapped his arms around him.

"I believe you call what they are doing rape." Mingi looked at the man with cold eyes. "They have hundreds of innocent men and women imprisoned there for this exact purpose. I want that pack destroyed as much as you do. Now, not all of the alphas there can help it. They are being controlled by the head alpha, so like I said earlier, if they flee, please let them because it's not their fault."

"And why do you want them gone as much as us?"

"Because it's my own father who is the head of Alpha Pack. And I want to rip his fucking throat out for hurting my real family."
