Pain, excruciating pain was all he could feel. It radiated throughout his entire body so that not a single place didn't hurt, he could smell his own blood that stained his clothes and skin; he was surprised it hadn't drawn more attention to them by now. His eyes were heavy with exhaustion but they urged him on, snapping teeth and warning growls along with the pricks of claws on healing skin as they raced through the woods. The trees passed in a blur, keeping him unaware of where they were or how long they had been running.
"Keep moving pup" the Beta growled next to him, his claws piercing the skin in his arm just enough to cause more pain and let little rivets of blood trail down his already drenched arm. He whimpered, his legs stumbling for a second before he could right himself. It was fear that kept him on the move, fear that if he stopped then they really wouldn't have any further use for him, fear that if he stopped then his pack wouldn't be able to get to him in time. The Beta that had of hold of his arm had proven that he had no qualms about getting rid of him, in fact he'd almost seemed disappointed when he had been ordered to keep the captive alive.
The dead leaves on the forest floor crunched underneath his heavy footing, obscuring any trail that may be under foot. Up ahead the Alpha and his lead Betas came to an abrupt stop, lifting their noses to scent the air and perking their ears to listen for distant sounds. Relief washed over his body at the prospect of stopping, even if it was only for a moment. Soon the whole pack stopped behind their leader, flanking their prisoner as they waited for new instruction. The silence stretched for what seemed like an age, the wind rustling between the branches of the trees and kicking up the corpses of leaves. It left him confused as to why they were stopping, each member of the pack poised as if waiting for something to spring forward.
But that was when he heard it. In the distance, a long howl sounded out above the tree tops and echoing throughout the forest. The sound was furious and strong, not holding any of the fatigue that he and the pack he was with were currently feeling. Hope rose in his chest as that howl was followed by five other howls, just as furious as their predecessor. The Beta holding him growled and jerked towards his Alpha, "I thought you said we'd lost them." the Alpha turning back, his eyes red and his fangs dropping down before he turned in the opposite direction of the howl and sprinted off, leaving his pack to follow in his wake.
He felt himself jerked along as more Betas surrounded him like an iron cage. He had the instinct to let out his own howl, to mark where he was and let the others know how far ahead he was of them, but he pushed it down because he knew that any movement of the like would end in his immediate death. He may have been an important tool to draw out his pack, but he knew that if it came down to his life or this packs' then he would be disposed of in a flash. All he could hope now was that his own pack would reach them before it was too late.
But in what seemed like only a few short moments, the pack suddenly stopped again. It left him confused as to why they were stopping with his pack so close behind them. Growls resonated throughout the pack towards their front, jerking his attention to the front. A new pack was facing them twenty paces away, their Alpha front and center with her Betas flanking her on either side. Her glowing eyes taking in every detail, eying the Alpha and every Beta before settling on him and taking in the sounds of strong and angry howls behind them, getting close and closer as the time passed.
"Would you like to tell me why you are trespassing on my land without permission?" The Alpha asked, the dangerous lit in her voice not going unnoticed by anyone.

Talia Hale was not an Alpha to be trifled with, and having an obviously rouge pack on her lands without permission was enough to rise her ire. But when she saw the bloodied and weak Beta trapped in the middle of the huddled group, it sparked up her maternal instincts and made her blood boil. The fear and pain was rolling off the young man in waves, his eyes hooded with exhaustion and blood loss. The Alpha in front of her snarled and gnashed his teeth at her. She could hear the howls of another incoming pack, obviously the one that the wounded Beta belonged to. She would not tolerate this behavior on her land.
"Move from our path and we will soon be off of your land Alpha Hale." The Alpha snarled at her, his red eyes narrowing at her in an obvious challenge. Talia kept her expression calm as she raised a single eyebrow at him, exerting another snarl from the other Alpha. He obviously knew who she was which was not overly surprising, however the venom with which he spat her name was something else entirely. It almost seemed as if the name itself was enough to incite a visible violence in him.
"Leave the boy and you will be free to cross my lands." She told him, eyeing his pack and seeing the uneasy looks overtaking his Betas. It was obvious that they were more than willing to give up their captive in exchange for a free pass. She could hear a small voice begging, "Please Bruce, just leave the kid and we can escape. He's not worth the death of the pack." The Alpha, Bruce, let loose a vicious growl and wrapped a clawed hand around his Beta's throat, the hand squeezing so hard that even Talia was worried that he would kill his own pack mate. He drew the girl closer and pulled her face to his, "I will not" he growled before throwing her to the ground.
Before she could try to reason with the enraged Alpha, she suddenly felt the presence of another pack rush the clearing. There were five of them, all spaced out to cage in the rouge pack. Their claws and fangs were extended while their eyes flashed dangerously all the while growling deep in their throats. They were soon joined with two more right behind them, obviously human by the lack of wolf features and weapons trained on the surrounded pack. She heard the wounded and surrounded Beta give a whimper of relief. So this was his pack, intent on retrieving their lost member.
Before she could address anyone again, a forceful presence entered the clearing. Red eyes never once glancing in her packs direction, his glowing eyes trained on the opposing Alpha. She felt her breath catch in her throat as she took in his familiar features. On either side of her Matthew, her mate, and Laura, her oldest daughter, both gave quiet gasps in disbelief. "Derek" her mate breathed, confusion evident in his voice. Her son didn't grace them with any sort of acknowledgement, keeping his focus on the Alpha in front of him.
She then noticed a slighter human standing beside her son, his arms tensed and posed on either side of him. The boy seemed to exude just as dangerous aura about him as her son did, one that had everyone's hackles raised as if they were waiting for some invisible hurricane to crash upon them. They stood together like an unbeatable force, both awe inspiring and terrifying in their own right. She didn't need her heightened eyesight to see the expressions on their faces, one as blank as the calm before the storm while the other was as if hell's wrath was etched into his face. She wasn't sure how this would play out, neither pack willing to give in and admit defeat and yet neither moving first. The suspense put her and her pack on edge as the tension was balanced as if on the edge of a knife.
"Come on Brucie, we all know how this is going to go. You hand over Isaac and I might be persuaded to argue your case for keeping your life and the lives of your pack." The boy said, his words taunting while his voice was an unveiled threat. His muscles tensed further, Derek let loose a low growl; wanting the other to bend to the human's will. The rest of Derek's pack took a step forward, so minutely a step that one would have missed it if they hadn't been keeping a close eye on the surrounding pack members. It caused a shift throughout her pack as it did the rival pack. Behind him, Bruce's pack hedged as if wondering what the best option was, follow their Alpha who had obvious disregard for his own pack or risk his ire and lead themselves to their certain doom as he would kill them as soon as he had the opportunity.
Bruce snapped his teeth in the human's direction, "How about I just kill him now?" The human huffed out a laugh, catching the opposite Alpha off guard for a second before the low growl resumed. Talia could see just a glint of amusement in the human's eyes, it threw her off balance. "That won't happen Brucie because if he does die then you and your pack will die. And I don't think that the rest of your pack is ready and willing to die for you or your idiocy." That caused the Alpha to turn around and finally take stock of his pack for the first time. They stood behind him, varying degrees of wariness to outright betrayal and fury. Suddenly, as if he was checking off the last of his mental pro and con list, the large male Beta that was keeping a hold on the blond captive, Isaac, let go of the other Were and stared down his Alpha in challenge as the prisoner scrambled back to the safety of his pack.
Their challenging growls and snarls filled the clearing as the challenging Beta stepped forward and caused the Alpha to take a step back, "You would challenge your Alpha?" There was fear laced in those words, eyes going frantic as the Beta continued forward. "You are no longer fit to lead Bruce. You have put all of our lives on the line for nothing. This Alpha has nothing that we could want, nothing that would benefit us and our lives in any way. And because your fucking pride is too big you would kill us all." The Beta growled, his eyes flashing golden and his claws lengthening. It was clear to Talia that this Alpha ruled through abuse and fear and it was no surprise that when faced with their lives that one would stand up against the tyrannical leader.
It all happened so fast that Talia wasn't quite sure what happened. When she had returned her full focus back to the other pack, the Beta stood over the deathly still body of the Alpha with his claws drenched in blood and his eyes slowly bleeding red. Silence reigned for a few moments before Derek stepped up to the new Alpha. They stood opposite of one another for a moment before they both nodded their heads at one another in recognition and respect, letting everyone breathe a little easier than they were just a moment before. The new Alpha tilted his head just slightly and an open hand, "Maybe we will be able to make a pact one day, one mutually beneficial to our packs." Derek gave a gruff huff in agreement before he enclosed his own hand against the Alpha's in a bloodied handshake. After they had lowered their respective hands, the new Alpha turned to his pack and let out a triumphant and dominant howl, which his pack returned with gusto. They then took off back into the trees and left the other two packs behind.
Talia, for all her years of leadership as an Alpha, wasn't sure how to take her current situation. There in front of her, not twenty feet ahead, stood her oldest son still as iron as his pack crowded around him with their wounded pack mate huddled in the middle. There was yips of happiness, whimpers of concern and comforting pawing as they all crowded around their Alpha and the human beside him. After Derek took a moment to check over his missing Beta, he left his pack to their comforting crowding and walked to his mother and her pack until he was five feet away from her. Again there was nothing said as the moments stretched on. Talia looked him over and could see the differences in her son, the changes so drastic that it made her heart hurt. But she could also still see the things that made up the small cub that she'd held in her arms after bringing him into the world.
Before her stood the Alpha of his own pack, years older than she had last seen him. His eyes no longer red with anger, but that familiar hazel green that seemed distant and wary, but at the same time seemed to be seeking something that he couldn't put into words. His dark hair styled differently and longer than she remembered, but still the same color and she was willing to bet it was still just as feather soft as it had been before when she would run her hands through it. She could see her son's pack shift their focus away from their wounded member to their Alpha and the unfamiliar pack in front of them. She knew that she would have to be the first one to break the silence, "Derek" she started before she hesitated, before steeling herself against her doubts, "Would you like to bring your pack to the house? I'm sure that everyone could use with some food and some rest."
Derek nodded in acceptance before he turned back towards his pack, "Stiles call Danny and Lydia and tell them that we're on our way." The human, Stiles, was pulling his phone out of his jean pocket and pressing it to his ear. The pack began to shuffle off towards the direction that they had left the before mentioned Danny and Lydia, with two of them supporting the previously missing member of their family. Derek stood still, not moving along with his pack, looking at his mother and what had once been his pack. He shifted his eyes to his father and older sister before he let a small smile grace his features for the first time that night, "I'll see you at the house, mom." Before Talia could even think of a response, Derek bounded off towards Stiles, who stood on the edge of the clearing waiting for the Alpha. They disappeared into the dense forest together, leaving the Hale pack to their backs.
"Well this has been interesting." Peter sounded out behind her, intrigue soaking his voice. And Talia agreed with her brother, and she knew that it would continue to be as the night wore on.
