**Ok, I don't usually put warnings at the beginning of my chapters, but this one needs one. It's going to be a rough one, so if you struggle with triggering materials, please don't read anything after the ~~. And please forgive me...**

Yeosang had to bite back a whimper as he felt Kai tighten his arm around him. This was the third night this week he had chosen Yeosang over the other omegas... It was obvious he was becoming the bear's favorite.

His back hurt beyond all belief and he felt so disgusting... He wasn't even allowed to clean himself up afterward. Kai had just pulled him into the bed and held him close.

That was the other thing... Yeosang was the only one Kai slept with at night.

The omega closed his eyes and ran his fingers over his mating mark, wanting nothing more than to be back in Hongjoong's arms and hold Asher and Irys close to him.

He was just starting to drift off when a small beam of light fell over his face.

Yeosang lifted his head off the pillow to see what was going on.

His jaw dropped when he saw Jongho creeping over to him with a finger pressed to his lips.

Can you hear me? The alpha asked, staying low to the ground.

H-How did you find me? How did you get away?! Yeosang could feel his heart beating faster as his eyes started to tear up.

I could smell you... Jongho looked down, and Yeosang knew he was alluding to the fact that his scent was stronger because of Kai sleeping with him. But I'm here now. I'm going to get you out of here.

How? Yeosang bit his lip and tried to stay calm.

Hold your breath.

The omega did as he was told and watched as Jongho pulled out a jar filled with herbs and unscrewed the lid.

Yeosang's eyes started to water immediately so he closed them. He felt Kai tense behind him and let out a small groan, then instantly relax.

Ok, he should be out. Jongho said as he screwed the lid shut. Come on. Let's get out of here.

Carefully, Yeosang moved Kai's arm off him and slipped off the bed and right into Jongho's open arms. I can't believe you're here. He tried to control his sobs as he clung to the alpha.

Deep breath. This herb doesn't work long so we need to hurry.

They borrowed a pair of pants that had a tie string on it for Yeosang to slip into before making their way through the house.

He paused for a brief moment and looked at the door where the other omega's were kept. He couldn't leave them here...

So he ran to the door and unlocked it, pushing it open. The three men sleeping in there all sat up and looked at him with wide eyes. "Kai is knocked out. Go now while you have the chance." He whispered, ushering them out of the room.

None of them hesitated.

Yeosang and Jongho followed them out of the house, and with one last glance, parted from the group of three.

The alpha pulled him along, ducking in and out of the shadows whenever they sensed someone nearby.

Have you found Wooyoung? Yeosang asked when the reached the edge of town.

No... I haven't been able to sense him. I've been trying. I don't know where they took him after they separated us...

Yeosang could hear how disappointed Jongho sounded. What do we do now?
