San let his rage take over as he ran down the main street of Ultima. He knew it well and watched as the main fortress rose up in front of him.

No one tried to stop him either. Most of the citizens were fleeing from the wreckage. A few alphas and betas charged them to attack, but the wolves from the valley took them.

Marylou and Tina stayed with them though. They had formed a small bond for the short time they were together, and the two betas were determined to help them free their family.

When they reached the main door, San grabbed the handle in his mouth and turned it, pulling the door open for them to slip in. The five of them crept forward.

The only sound was their claws clacking against the hard floor. It was like the place was abandoned... This didn't feel right at all. Sure they had the upper hand with the surprise attack and the Hunters, but San figured Lance would be more prepared.

Maybe this just went to show how much of a fool he really was.

Or how much of a fool San pack was...

As soon as they reached the center of the room, alphas burst through doors and surrounded them quickly.

Their group of five formed a tight circle, all facing away from each other, as they prepared for the attack. But the alphas didn't attack right away, they just kept them trapped.

San snarled, his hackles rising as his eyes shot around the room looking for any sign of Wooyoung, or the others.

He heard a deep, rumbling sound coming from Mingi and turned his head to look for the reason why.

Lance was walking into the room, head held high and a sneer on his disgusting face.

Jongho let out a warning whine, letting Mingi know to stay calm and not overreact. This would be a bad time to make a mistake since they were so greatly outnumbered.

They could hear gunfire outside, and at least that seemed to make the alphas nervous. Hopefully help would get there soon.

"Well, Mingi. How nice to see you again." Lance said from where he stood at the head of the room. "It's so nice of you to come visit me. Too bad it's for your own funeral though."

Mingi hunched over and kept growling at him, making Lance shake his head.

"Do you like what I've built? So much better than your pathetic father, isn't it?" He said, looking around the room.

He snapped his finger and several balls dropped from the ceiling. When they hit the ground, they exploded in a puff of smoke, causing the group of five to stumble to the side and blink rapidly.

Wolfsbane. There was Wolfsbane in the smoke.

San's eyes burned as he howled with pain. Then the howl got louder when he felt several pairs of teeth latch on to him and pull him to the ground.

"You made it too easy, old friend." Lance purred through the smoke.

San whined as he tried to break free and felt himself getting dragged away. And of course the pack link was blocked so he couldn't reach out to his pack...

The smoke started to clear and he saw that Jongho and Mingi were both pinned to the floor by several alphas, and Marylou and Tina were being herded to another section of the room, their heads bowed in submission.

Lance started walking forward, pulling out a long sword from behind his back and studying the blade.

Then a door closed in San's face as he was still pulled back. He whined, panicking over what was going to happen to his pack.
