Chapter 1

Third Person's POV

He whimpered as he hangs from the chains. His poor little body aches from the beating he last received. He can't even lift his head, he's just too weak.

He hears the loud noises throughout the pack house. He hears screams and cries that seem to come from every direction. He hears growling and things breaking.

His body trembles from the cold, pain, and fear. He has no idea what's going on, but the sounds are terrifying. He's never heard anything like this before.

He whimpers again when he hears a loud bang coming from somewhere close by. The growling seems to be getting closer, and so do the screams and cries.

It sounds like everyone's dying out there! Noah's so scared, his little body trembles even more as he hangs helplessly from the chains. He tries to lift his head, he manages to lift it a little and his eyes finally focus.

He looks around, but all he can see is the dried blood on the ground below him.... his blood. There's so much of it, it's everywhere!

He can't even feel his hands anymore, he has no idea how long he's even been hanging here. But it's definitely been a long time, probably close to a week if not longer.

He cries out when he hears a loud bang coming from just on the other side of the wall. The room next to the Alphas, the Beta's room.

He tries to lift his head again when he hears voices close by, but it's no use, he just doesn't have the energy. He doesn't have the strength to even lift his head.

He is finally able to slightly turn his head, just enough to see his cabinet. He wishes so badly he was inside there right now. It's his safe spot, no one can see him when he's inside it.

That's his room, his bed. That's where he stays when the Alpha isn't hurting him. That's where he stays when he's not hanging by chains or strapped to the bench.

It's literally a cabinet, exactly what you would see in a bathroom, but without the sink on top. There are two doors, it's just big enough for him to curl up inside and lay down. The only thing he has to lie on the inside is a few torn pieces of clothing. Clothing that he once wore. That was until the Alpha ripped them off of him.

But it was better than nothing, it was better than laying on the bare hard cold wood.

He just knows if he was in there, whoever's here hurting everyone, wouldn't be able to find him. They would never think to look for him in there.

He wants to cry, but he doesn't even have the tears to cry. His body is too dry to even shed a tear.

Not only can he not remember the last time he's eaten, but he can't remember the last time he had even a single drop of water.

He whimpers and cries out when he hears the loud noises now coming from inside the Alpha's room. Just on the other side of the wall.

Noah's in the Alpha special room, a room that was made just for Noah. The Alpha likes to call it Noah's little torture room.

It's a little room he built right off of his room, just next to the bathroom.

He hears loud growlings coming from the Alpha's room. He hears things breaking and shattering.

Then, he suddenly hears it, he feels it..... He tries not to make a noise but he can't help it.

Whether he likes the Alpha or not, it's still his Alpha. And it's painful when your Alpha dies.

He cries out, screaming at the pain he feels as the Alpha dies.

"What the hell, where did that come from?"  He hears one voice say.

"Shit, I don't know, check the bathroom."  He heard another voice say, just on the other side of the wall, coming from inside the Alpha's room.

He hears the bathroom door open, the door right next to his.

He whimpers at the loud sound, his body trembles even more.

"Shhh. Did you hear that? It's coming from the other side of this wall."  He hears one of them say.

They're looking for the door. It doesn't look like a normal door. As a matter of fact, if you don't know it's there, you won't even see it.

He hears banging, and he whimpers again, even though he doesn't want to make a sound. But he can't help it, the loud noises scare him.

"There has to be a door somewhere here... Wait, what's this?"

Noah whimpers again when he hears the click... They found it!

He cries out as they open the door. The blinding light flooded into the dark room.

"What the fuck is this?.... Holy shit!"

He hears one of them say as the other one gasp.

Noah's eyes are squeezed closed so tight. Hoping somehow if he closes them tight enough, they won't see him. But they do, they see him and they can't believe what they see.

"Oh goddess, what did that monster do!"

Thaddeus's POV

My men and I flood in, quickly invading the Dark Night pack. We quickly discover how horrible this Alpha really is.

Not just by the disgusting things that he does to his pack members. But the fact that these poor people don't even know how to fight. They can't even defend themselves!

We're taking them down with such ease, they're dropping left and right.

I would feel bad, but most of these men are bad, they're evil just like their Alpha. They like to hurt their Omega's, anyone smaller and weaker than them.

They don't even keep them inside, at least not the ones we've found so far. They're kept inside some sort of handmade wooden crate or cage. 

They're completely exposed to all the elements. Rain, wind, storms, snow..... All of it, the roof isn't even solid, and neither are the walls. They've taken 2x4s, leaving a 4-in gap between each board. It's like that all the way around, even the top.

These poor omegas are kept in there as if their cattle or something. My heart breaks when I see them. I see the tears in Xander's eyes along with several of my warriors when they see them.

They're filthy, the ground is dirt, and by the smell and looks of it, their own waste. It doesn't look like they have a place to go to the bathroom. Not even a damn bucket!

They're so skinny,  covered in wounds, some still bleeding, others scabbed over.

They cower into a corner as my men approach them. I watched Jameson kneel, I can tell he was crying, his shoulders shaking as he grabs onto the wood and peered in.

"I promise we're not going to hurt you, none of you! We're here to save you and get you out of here."

He says before he stands up. He growls as he rips the chain off. He opens the gate and then slowly walks in.

They immediately begin to whimper and cry out. Every one of them trembles, clinging to each other or wrapping their arms around their own body.

"Come here little one, I would never hurt you, never!" Jameson said.

I watch as the one he's trying to reach for looks at him with tears running down his face. But he also has another look on his face... Shock, almost as if he can't believe what he's looking at.

He flinches when Jameson touches him.

"I promise little mate, I would never hurt you!... Please, let me get you out of here!"

He said and my stomach dropped.

'Oh my Goddess, that's his mate! No wonder he's crying like that.' I thought to myself as I watch the heartbreaking scene in front of me.

I watch as Jameson places his hands under the Omega's arms then slowly lifts him up and pulls his little body against him, wrapping his arms around the little Omega.

I watch as they both break down crying. The little Omega lays limp in his arms as he cries. Jameson pulls the Omega's head into his neck, then reaches down with his right arm, collecting his legs to carry him bridal style. He stands there for a moment as he holds him.

He finally turns around, walking out of that little makeshift cage. I finally get a good look at his mate and my heart breaks even more. He's covered in scars. I see bruises everywhere, the right side of his face is swollen and purple. The rest of his body is littered with cuts and filth.

"Take him home Jameson."

I say as I place a hand on his shoulder, giving it a gentle squeeze before I move forward. I'm going to go find this fucker and kill him!  I thought as I headed toward the packhouse with my Beta, Xander next to me.

I growl as I watch their warriors flood out of the packhouse.

I feel my claws extend as I race toward them.

So far, hardly anyone has had to shift, these fools are not trained in the least bit.

I grabbed the first idiot that lunges for me by the throat, my claws sinking into his neck as I grab him. His eyes go wide as I place my left hand against his chest. I pull back with my right hand that's wrapped around his throat and hear the disgusting sound of his throat being torn out.

I toss his body aside then swing my right arm out with my claws extended, and slice right through the guy, who thought he could go for my chest with his claws.

I watched the blood spray from his throat as I sliced into it. I turned, grabbing the next fool's hand. Again, this idiot thought he could go for my chest.

I watched his eyes go wide as I sunk my claws through his chest, my hand wrapping around his heart before ripping it out.

I continue to move through the group of enemies, taking them down with incredible ease until we finally make it inside, and secure the main entrance.

I know he won't be on the main floor, so I leave that level for my men. I send a group to the basement and then head up the stairs toward the first floor.

I need to make sure there are no more Omega's being hidden away somewhere in this hell hole.

As I got to the first floor, I looked down the hall. I don't think he's going to be on this floor either since all the doors are too close together, indicating smaller rooms for warriors.

I yelled for Keith to take his team through the first floor. They'll check every room, every closet, every bathroom, under every bed.

I take Xander, and the next two teams, then continue moving up, heading toward the second floor.

Again, all the doors are too close together, letting me know there's not an Alpha suit on this floor either.

I sent Roy and his team to take care of this floor, while I take Xander and the last team to the third floor.

We begin searching each room, breaking down each door that's locked.

I check each room with my men, once I see it's a normal room, I move on letting them take care of that room and search it.

Xander tears down a door and then hollers out for me. I quickly make my way into the room and see Xander and Alpha Nicholas's Beta going at it.

Two Betas going head to head.
