"Just be quiet." Alfred shushes all of them, and they all obey.
"Now, we want to tell you our plan only if you agree to keep quiet about it." Alfred says, and the betas hum, agreeing to the question he's asking.
Kimberly nods repeatedly, Charles shakes his head for a positive response but George remains mute. He doesn't say anything.
"Go on, Go on!" Kimberly cries. "The Alpha is expecting us. All preparations have been made, we are to start by 9am."
"No." Alfred clips. "George hasn't given any response yet."
"Hey George." Kimberly whispers into his ears. "If you love your mate, just agree even if you really don't. Nod, dude!"
George nods sheepishly and multiple times.
"Good. We have to summon elves from our pack." Alfred tells them, but they are silent.
"You didn't hear me? From our own very pack, we have to summon elves to help us. In this case, even elves have more power than witches or wizards do." He rants.
"We heard." Charles retorts, and Kimberly sighs in confusion.
"Do we have to follow you to your pack?" George asks, and Alfred nods.
"It's your option though. But, right now, we can't even summon the moon goddess, she won't reply until after three days." Alfred adds.
Kimberly exhales.
Charles purrs.
"Then let's call for the elves on time." Kimberly muffles under her breath. "Sure! But not without some sort of strength to go back to one's pack and order other paranormal beings." He winks at them. "Get us food."
"Whatt....whatt?" George stutters.
"Get us damn food!" One of the Betas clarifies, with a tone higher in pitch.
"Okay...sure." Kimberly says, and stands up to go but Charles holds her hands down, and goes instead.
"I'll be right back." Charles waves at them, and pecks his mate's chin.
After moving few inches, Alfred comes out of the hut and stands at the doorstep.
"He's gone now." He scoffs, and signals to his Betas. "Execute the plan."
George's heart starts to pound as Kimberly remains seated on leafy grasses, unperturbed. Her thought is that, the plan is how to save Kellie, and that George is just being paranoid and too wary.
The six Betas approach George and drags him to the backyard of the hut.
"Quick! Before he returns." Alfred orders, and they all cuff him on his hands, legs and any part that can be handcuffed. Raising his brows a bit, Alfred notices Charles approaching with their bags of food.
"Now, go!" He barks at the Betas and they all flee the hut with Greg, not really sure of where they are going - they're only certain they'd walk through dark roads.
"Where should they go?" Kimberly asks, checking up on the approaching Charles. "Hey, come on. We gotta go."
Then Charles enters the hut, and drops to the ground, breathing heavily.
"I really tried my best not to be noticed by the Alpha." He exhales, and unwraps the food in the nylon. Peering at Alfred, he notices other's absence.
"Where are others?" He asks, questioningly.
"They have gone to order elves from our pack." He retorts, trying not to have the conversation.
"But, did George volunteer?" He asks, again.
"Let's just put that behind us." Alfred sighs.
"I don't understand." Both Kimberly and Charles say. "Let's follow them to your pack."
"It isn't somewhere you can just go. They would be right back." Alfred retorts. Kimberly hiccups.
"All I know is, George wouldn't volunteer." Charles hammers, and starts to eat. He's brought juice as well to 'step down' the food - rice.

"Don't act tough." Austin, one of the six Betas tells him as they drag him from one dark forest to the other.
"What do you want me for?" He yells, after being dropped on a hill and grabbing a stone to maintain balance and prevent sliding.
"We are not even taking you to our pack to be bound. All we want is your wolf power, that's the only power that can save your mate." He tells him.
"Says who?" He scoffs, and snickers.
"It's the audacity for me." Another Beta called Douglas marches on his back, and hits his head with his right foot. They are in wilderness 12, where there is an illumination from the moon goddess and hills and mountains.
"Summon the moon goddess, let me hear her myself." He says, and groans in pain. His wrists has started to swell due to the tight fixation of the cuffs. His wolf can surely break off from this but with sense, else, he'd be caught again.
"Moon goddess, from Alpha Festus. We are here on your mountain. Please just tell us something." Austin goes on his knees, and pleads while others watch.
Then, like lightning and thunder, moon goddess descends amidst them, and their eyes almost go blind.
"Good Day to you, Alpha George." She greets him, and George prostrates instead. After all, he has been made to prostate to the riffraff Betas earlier.
"What did you summon me for?" She asks, her voice sounding melodious, resounding and echoing as well.
"Kellie.... Kellie." George sobs. "Gone to the wasteland." Austin tries to speak up instead but moon goddess stops him.
"You have to go. Only her mate can save her." She replies.
"Exactly what we have been telling him." Austin scoffs but George grunts.
"No. You wanted me to lose my wolf power, that was all your care." George clarifies, to the moon goddess.
"George, don't fret. I'll help you." Moon goddess' face brightens the more, meaning her departure.
"Help me, moon goddess!" George cries out, shrieks and unintentionally gives his wolf the control. His wolf whines and woofs, completely getting freed from the chains and he swirls dust up in air, making their vision blur. As he escapes through his wolf form, Austin blocks others from moving as he suggests they mind link Alfred to catch up with him.
"Hey, Alfred. Do you copy?" Austin moves around the hill, his eyes glistening and releasing a brighter illumination to the spot.
"Yes, I copy." Alfred retorts. "What is it?"
"He has escaped. Catch up with him." Austin says, hastily.
"What! How! Did you summon the Moon goddess?" Alfred barks at him in his mind link.
"Yes, boss. We did." He replies. "I have to mind link Alpha Festus and let him know the update." He says but Alfred yells in return.
"Don't, not yet!!"
"Alright. What about Kellie's parents?"
"They have gone inside the pack house to alert the Alpha since they're damn impatient about their lost wolf."
"We will be right there with you." Austin says in return, and stops the mind link. Others walk up to him, and ask different kinds of questions.
"What was his reply? Has he caught up with George? What about Kellie?"
"One at a time, please. Well, we have to go."
"Where?"
"The hut."
They all grunt, and their wolves take control of their body as they dart towards the hut again with an inconceivable speed.
"Alfred, we are here." Austin tells him after wobbling inside the hut with other Betas.
"Yeah, sure." Alfred walks in. "Let's go take a look, seems a wolf is trying to help save her."
"Sure, sure." They repeat, one not after the other. Five of the Betas move real quick to the scene where they fought and the area where Kellie was dumped at.
Austin and Alfred walk more slowly than others walk, to discuss some things maybe.
"What about George?" Austin asks.
"I totally forgot about him. But we can always track him down."
"Why would you say this? We can't return to our pack without Kellie. And only her mate can save her."
Alfred clicks his tongue, and hums.
"What do you mean?" Austin asks, fuming.
"Leave me alone." Alfred walks faster and away from him to the scene. "You'd better come here and let's plan how to go about it together."
Austin hisses. Alfred cusses at him, and soon meets with the other five Betas.
512 warriors (omegas) are now outside the pack house as well. Alpha Martin and Luna Mirabel are also walking about the fighting scene, thinking of what to do to save Kellie after Kimberly has explained everything that occured.
Then, a large wolf appears, making the Omegas chatter. Alpha Martin, Luna Mirabel, Charles and Kimberly Leo all look up and stare at this large wolf approaching them. Instead of the wolf dropping to the ground or escaping and fleeing from the scene, it rather boosts its energy and flies up on top of the great barrier between the pack and where Kellie was dumped to. Then, he relaxes on the fence, and with his mouth raised high, he snarls.
"Detect the Wolf." Alpha Martin tells one of his Betas that just approached. "And ensure no other warrior come out here. Just tell them to keep training."
"Sure, Sir." The Beta nods and heads into Martin's palace, right in the pack house.
"Detect the Wolf." Alfred tells Austin who has now joined them in sitting under a shade. "Let's know if it's to harm or save."
Kimberly walks up to Alfred. She holds his knot tight, and yells at him.
"What have you done to my daughter? What have you done to her mate?" She tries to keep her voice cool but it only becomes more aggressive.
Charles, on the other hand, seeks to have a chitchat with the Alpha. The wolf sitting on the barrier snarls again, readjusting its position.
"Alpha Martin, what do you think can be done?" Charles asks, politely.
"I have told my Beta to detect this kind of wolf." He replies. "Keep cool. Also, tell Kimberly to be cool. Screaming here can't help."
Charles feels ashamed but he warms himself up, and cuddles Kimberly from behind.
"Keep cool, the Alpha said." He hugs her into a tight affectionate one, walking away from Alfred and his guys.
"We will send them away from our pack, okay?" He tells her, meaning Alfred and his Betas who are under the shade mainly because of protection - to be hidden from Alpha Martin & Luna Mirabel.
Then, Martin's Beta approaches. Martin waves at him, and he waves back, approaching more quickly. Then, the big wolf sitting amidst the barrier starts to growl, grunt and then shriek. Howling as much as it can, and blaring here with the noise, Martin asks his Beta, "Who is the wolf?"
"A message from moon goddess answers that." His Beta replies.
