The howling the night before along with what Alfred overheard has given him an uneasy feeling and it only gets worse knowing that Gilbert wasn't one of the many voices around them. Surely he would have called later that night to say something, anything but the Albino stayed quiet. His worry is almost enough to keep him from eating the next morning. Even as his stomach growls out he picks at the eggs before him until Allistor reaches across him to take his piece of bread. "They aren't as good cold."

"Yeah I know." Alfred says taking a small bite to find it already lukewarm. "So," He starts as his mate eats his bread. "Are you going to tell me who you were pissed off at last night?"

Without skipping a beat the fox answers. "No, now eat cause we won't be back until dinner."

It's not good enough of an answer for the Omega. "Allistor."

"I said eat." He snaps back slamming his hand down on the table startling the two Omegas. It's the first real anger Alfred's ever seen from this mate but before he has a chance to ask Allistor is away from the table and out the door.

After he recovers Alfred's eyes turn to his brother. "Matthew?"

Matthew shakes his head and just like the man before stands and walks out. It might hurt his brother but it's to keep both him and his own mate safe from what's to come. It's a plan that could get him marked as a traitor or worse killed but it's a risk he's willing to take.

Meanwhile on the other side of the gates Gilbert is staring down a man he'd never thought he'd see again. "Ludwig." He says wanting to hug the other man no matter how much the other would hate it.

The tall blonde Alpha nods. "Gilbert." He answers with a soft smirk. "What are you doing here?"

"Well I could ask you the same thing. Has my baby brother become a Colorless?"

"Hardly." Ludwig answers as a few of his clan members appear behind him. "There's a bazaar taking place higher in the mountains and Father heard they were selling rarer items so he told us to find out if it was true."

Gilbert nods as Abel sits on his shoulder. "Sounds like the old bastard but why are you here instead?"

"There was a murder a few days ago in one of the other camps of wolves going to it and from what the eyewitnesses say it was a fox." Gilbert's eyebrow rises slightly. "I know what you're thinking."

"A little bit of overkill isn't it? There's four clans and colorless here for one murder?" Abel looks back to see a new group of Wolves sneaking up from the back though as he gives a hiss Gilbert pats his head. "They're not here for us so calm down."

"Well that's awesome and all but what about Alfred and Allistor?" Abel meows out annoyed, as Gilbert starts to scratch below the Neko's chin causing an involuntary purr. "Stop that."

Ludwig clears his throat right as Abel threatens to slice Gilbert's hand to ribbons. "He violated a young Omega before killing her and the way he did it…" Ludwig shakes his head. "Well he must be stopped and we finally have enough here to do something about it as for your friends I'm assuming…they'll be fine as long as they stay out of our way."

Though he doesn't have to say it he asks. "When are you attacking the village?"

"Today."

"When?" A lone howl echoes into the woods sending the array of clans and colorless into a frenzy. He can only watch as the men around him morph into tall lean wolves before racing away towards the village and the large gates. "Abel," Gilbert starts seeing some of the large logs fall as Foxes begin to cry out. "Hang on."

Like his brothers before he morphs into a pure white wolf as Abel sinks his claws deep into his shoulder blades. While he winces, the wolf races towards the abandoned gates, passing terrified Omegas and children on his way. He races down a side alley listening closely for any signs of his mate when he runs into Allistor. "Gilbert?"

"Where's Alfred?"

"He's at his brother's house just follow this road and you'll find him." Allistor quickly walks past. "I'll meet you three as soon as I find someone." He says over his shoulder before disappearing around the corner.

"Bastard." Abel hisses clinging tighter as Gilbert races towards where he hopes their mate is. "He just left him."

"Alfred's not helpless but," Gil looks back to see Allistor exit the gates along with many other foxes trying to escape the wolf invasion. "He better know what the fuck he's doing."

Most that flee into the woods are Omegas with their young or the old as the Alphas try to fight off the wolves the best they can. Yet what the wolves don't know is that the Alpha they're looking for has already slipped through their fingers.

As his cousins fight on he can't help but chuckle running a hand through his hair thinking that once again he's gotten away with everything. "Idiots," he says with a laugh. "Fucking idiots."

With his guard down he doesn't see the Fox creep up behind him until Allistor has his bow across his neck pinning him back. "Why don't you tell me who the idiot is now?" His anger is bubbling to the surface as he lets out guttural grunts. "Hmm Fane?"

Fane struggles against the tall Fox until he elbows Allistor in the ribs before getting a lucky shot to his nose. "I'm sorry do I know you?" He says with a smirk seeing the rage in the other Alpha's eyes. "I mean it wasn't your mate I fucked was it? But then you're the one with the half breed aren't you?" While he speaks he reaches into his back pocket for his dagger.

Allistor is one step ahead of him, pointing one of his arrows right at Fane's head. "I'll give you five seconds to tell me where my brother is."

"You're brother?" Fane asks rising his hands above his head while his mind races to find a way out. "Look I don't even know who you are but I'm sure we can work something out." A sly smile grows on his face. "I know a few things."

"Arthur Kirkland. Omega from the Silver Mist." Allistor pulls the arrow back tighter wanting nothing more than to let go and send the arrow into the other's skull. "Now."

Fane blinks. "What are you serious? You want me to what snap my fucking fingers and magically make your brother appear? He's gone jackass time to face facts."

It takes every ounce of will power not to fire his arrow. "Where is he?"

"Gone now," Fane screams out in pain as the arrow digs deep into his knee. "You mother fucking shit!"

He picks up another arrow watching as Fane frantically pulls at the arrow. "I know you sold him so who did you sell him too?"

Instead of answering him Fane glares up at him. "Go fuck yourself." It only gets him a sharp crack across the face with the hard bow. Seeing his blood splattered on the other's bow he knows the only way he'll escape with his life is to tell the man what he wants to know. "Fine…" He says spitting out a mouthful of blood. "I sold out your village to the Jackals. What they did with your brother I don't know but if he was an Alpha he was killed, an Omega he was probably sent to one of their camps."

Allistor drops his weapon as he picks up the bloodied man by the collar. "Why?"

"Cause they're kinky freaks."

"No you idiot why did you sell out your own kind?"

Fane manages a smile unable to stop himself. "Do you know how easy it was? I mean think about it, we think we're so great as a breed. So bound to the earth and so gifted by 'mother' moon." He says with a tone of mockery. "Well the Jackals are gifted by money and no magic trick can beat that."

Allistor throws him back watching as he lands on his on his tail bone. "You're a pathetic piece of shite." Again he goes for an arrow but before he can blink Fane's head suddenly slumps over, a white feathered arrow embedded deep into his temple. Quickly Allistor whips around ready for anything but whoever shot the Alpha has disappeared. He's not even sure where the arrow came from much less who could have shot it but either way he rushes away from the dead man. He has his answers and the next moves are crystal clear to him.

"Allistor."

He turns expecting to see his mate run into his arms. Instead Alfred stands with Abel as Gilbert shakes his head. "Did you find whoever you were trying to find?" Gilbert asks as his eyes narrow spotting blood on the Fox's shirt.

"I did and I think we should go-"

"Higher in the mountains." Gilbert says not wanting to let the Fox finish his thought. "There's a market going on and it could get us a few good things for winter." He takes a step forward as the other two look on. "Because it will be here before we know it as well as the kid." With what Alfred's already told him along with his strange behavior in the village Gilbert is willing to become the dominate Alpha in their family if only to keep Allistor from putting them in harm's way. "Right Abel?"

"Yeah best thing we can do now." Quickly Abel escorts their mate past Allistor knowing a fight between the other two is likely to follow. "Come on Kid. Tell me about this brother of yours."

Alfred looks back concerned. "He won't leave will he?"

With a soft sigh Abel shakes his head. "He's bonded with you but,"

"But what?"

Abel can already hear both others starting to yell. "Nothing Kid…"
