Seonghwa stared out the front window as the walls of the fortress loomed closer. He had hoped he would never have to see this place again... And now he was being taken inside as a prisoner instead of sneaking in on his own accord.

The two cars pulled up to a side entrance and he watched out of the corner of his eye as Jongho and San were taken inside one by one. San was carried limply by his brothers. Seonghwa and Wooyoung knew something had happened during the drive up here, but they hadn't seen exactly what.

Wooyoung whimpered next to him and he turned to try and comfort him, but the collar prevented too much movement as always.

He noticed the younger was slowly shuffling his foot forward, trying to stretch it out to reach one of the pearls that came from his broken bracelet. The ropes tightened around him and continued to burn his skin but he didn't give up until he managed to roll it up the side of his foot and into his shoe.

Seonghwa sent him a questioning look and Wooyoung answered with a look that told him he just needed a little bit of comfort. The older tilted his head a little and nodded.

The back of their car opened and Hongjoong was taken inside. He hadn't woken up since the attack...

Finally the side door opened and Seonghwa watched as San's mother untied the rope keeping his hands tied to the seat in front of him. He groaned as she helped him out of the car. It felt so good to stretch his legs.

Wooyoung was brought out after him, held by San's father, and the two of them were brought into the fortress.

As scared as he was, Seonghwa knew he needed to try and stay calm. Even without his wolf, his parenting instincts took over and he would do whatever he could to protect his baby. Even if it meant giving in to Alpha Pack.

There was no sign of their alphas as they were marched into a bed chamber. It was a comfortable room with a large bed, sitting area, and attached bathroom.

"Behave. Don't even think about removing those collars." Silas ordered as he and his mate untied the omegas. They stood in place until the door closed, then ran to each other.

Seonghwa pulled the younger close to him, shushing him as he started to shake with fear. "It's ok sweetie, I've got you."

"Wh-What's going to h-happen to us? P-Please don't let-t them t-take me..." Wooyoung sobbed, pushing his nose into the older's chest.

Seonghwa's heart broke at the words, knowing there was truly no way he could protect Wooyoung if they wanted to take him away...

But they had been given this time, so he wanted to make the most of it. He led Wooyoung over to the bed and sat on it so he was sitting up against the headboard. Wooyoung crawled to his side and laid down so his head was in the older's lap.

Wooyoung brought a hand up to slowly rub Seonghwa's belly. A look of concern crossed his face and another tear rolled down his cheek.  The older reached up and brushed it away with his thumb.

"You have to protect it..." Wooyoung whispered, closing his eyes as he continued his rubbing. "I'll protect it too..."

Seonghwa bit his lip to hold back the sob that wanted to escape. He had to stay strong, for both of them. Especially because Wooyoung basically told him that he would leave with them willingly if it meant protecting the baby.

They were left alone for what felt like hours before the lock clicked and the door swung open. Wooyoung sat up and huddled against Seonghwa as Silas walked in, followed by his sons, and then the person they could only assume was Mingi's father.
