A/N: for once, I don't know what to say here. So let's cut to the chase:

Hello from Cutie.

Disclaimer: do not own characters you see in the original movie.

Oh! And here's for a few of my reviewers:

Kswolf: yes he does, but Cheyenne is still his best friend. Kinda like Humphrey and Lilly's relationship (in this story anyways).

Bounder: I like Salty too! (aside from Humphrey & Lilly)

Funniest Alpha: I just like your review. Sorry to confuse you, but it makes me laugh. I now know why you got your pen name!

Story time! Last chapter of wondering whose betrayed us! Excited yet?

Luna shook violently. It was twice as cold without Logan to warm her. Through the hole in the roof she could see the full moon, showing off it was at its highest point. She flexed her claws. She was actually feeling a little…impatient. She was supposed to be killed half an hour ago. If there was no point in escaping why couldn't she get her murder over with already?

I bet mom and dad are putting up a good fight, Luna thought. They'll escape Seth and rescue me.

Luna pricked her ears. She lifted her head off her paws. At the entrance of the cave she heard scuffling and whimpers. Before she knew it, the shadows in front of her came to life, tossing a small wolf in front of her, making the wolf squeak.

"We've doubled the guards, so don't bother trying to trick me again," the wolf that had tossed her hissed at Luna. As if I didn't notice that already! Luna thought crossly.

The wolf turned and walked back to the entrance, flicking his tail over Luna's nose. She growled with annoyance before putting her head back on her paws and sighing with defeat.

In front of her was a small female wolf shaking dust out of her fur and licking her scratches from when she tried to fight back against the guards. She was a dark brown color with a caramel-colored tail, chest, left forepaw, right ear, and patch over her left eye.

Her markings look kind of like Cheyenne's…Luna noticed.

"So, little fella, what're you in for?" Luna asked casually, crossing her forepaws.

The small wolf stopped tending to her scars and turned to Luna, copying her position. "Bait," she answered simply. "They want to lure my sister over here."

Luna nodded. "Same here. Seth wants to murder my parents and grandparents. It kinda sucks."

"Yes, I can see how that may suck," replied the other wolf. Her eyes were lavender like Lilly's. Luna's heart broke at the idea of her mother, who was most likely dead by now.

"I'm Selena."

"Luna," she held out her paw. The other wolf shook it.

"That's a pretty name," she complimented.

"Thanks. Yours too," Luna gave her a friendly smile.

"Thank you. Believe it or not, it was my dad's idea to name me that," Selena smiled back, flicking her caramel-colored tail. "Come to think of it, he might've named me after a wolf he was dating before my mother."

Luna giggled.

Selena chuckled a little bit too. "You really think that's funny?"

"Yeah. You're a really cute pup, pup."

"Thanks. I'm not a pup anymore, but thanks. I am an Omega but no one ever thinks I'm funny…" Selena admitted sadly.

"No one? Surely your parents…" Luna began.

"Not even them. They were always more supportive of their Alpha daughter and I don't think they ever even liked their lives together. When I was born, they actually volunteered me to be an Omega. I was a runt you see," Selena told her.

"That's depressing," Luna said, her ears drooping.

"Yeah…I know. But I'm just glad I finally grew into my ears," Selena joked, shaking her head, which made her ears slap the sides of her face. Luna giggled again.

"You know? It's a shame you don't live in my pack. I know tons of wolves that'd enjoy your company," Luna replied.

"Really?"

"Yep. Especially this one male I know, his name is Jake. I don't know what it is, but you just remind me of him. He's a close friend, but there's nothing going on between us. He's my cousin you see."

"Huh," Selena's head tilted with interest.

They both pricked their ears and turned their heads in the direction of the cave entrance. The two guards were arguing about something. Luna started to crawl forward, beckoning with her tail for Selena to follow.

"Surely Seth should be done with that murder by now," one guard commented.

"I agree. Those Eastern wolves really are tough, huh?" said the second one, a jet-black wolf with amber eyes.

The first wolf huffed. "Nothing's tougher than us Southern wolves."

"Southern slash Northern. Remember?" the second one corrected.

Luna narrowed her eyes. She suddenly had an idea. She crawled closer to the first wolf, a dark brown one. "Did you know he thinks Northern is better than Southern pack wolves?" she whispered in his ear.

"What? Oh, shut up prisoner!" he hissed. Luna noticed his voice was too low for his companion to hear. She had him right where she wanted!

"While you were relieving yourself, he started to say some things to me. He said Northerners were a lot tougher than Southerners. I quote: 'Only a Northerner could've caught you. Southerners are only pretending to be tough so other packs don't attack them because they're so stupid—"

Luna hesitated when she saw the wolf's claws begin to scratch at the ground. She could practically see the steam blowing out of his black ears.

"What?" he growled.

"He doesn't think you have what it takes to impress Seth," Luna lied.

The wolf was snarling and slowly stood up, glaring icily at the other wolf that was calmly looking around. Luna shrank backwards.

"Dude, what up with you?" the black wolf asked, completely puzzled by his friend's behavior.

"Southerners aren't stupid!" the brown guard yelled. "Seth trusts me more than you!"

The brown wolf lunged for the black one, sending them both rolling away, snapping at his face while the other one yelped with shock. Luna pricked her ears, proud of herself.

"Come, come, my friend," she addressed Selena. "We have siblings to find and my family to save."

Selena blinked and stood up. Luna led her down the mountain and they both sprinted at top speed. Luna hoped this was the same forest that Logan had tried to lead her into. But on their way, the two females skidded to a halt. In front of them was a bunch of Seth's followers, looking surprised Luna escaped again, then angry for the same reason. Luna didn't realize that Seth hadn't taken all of his followers to kill her family.

"Didn't think of that…" Luna muttered.

Humphrey was the only one who saw the traitor's face before Seth ordered his wolves to attack. He was shocked someone he was so close to would do such a thing. He tried to avoid fighting his pack-mate and joined Garth in going straight for Seth.

The gray and brown wolf was weaving among his charging followers. It looked like he was going for Lilly first. Humphrey growled and pounced on him, taking the young wolf by surprise. He managed to pin Seth down, but only to have someone knock him off three seconds later.

Humphrey found himself pinned down and forced to look into the piercing brown eyes of the wolf that had betrayed him. The traitor noticed Humphrey's shocked then angered look. "Thought you knew me, didn't you? Well I'm not some book that's so easy to read!" the traitor hissed.

"But why? I trusted you! The entire pack trusted you!" Humphrey yelped. "You had a carefree and perfect life, why give it up?"

"Perfect? I never got what I wanted! I never had respect, I was always laughed at, and I was barely noticed by the girl I loved! My life was unfair! With Seth ruling, I'll earn the high rank I deserve."

"With Seth ruling? He'll only kill us all! If you thought your life was unfair, Seth's reign will make it worse! He's inconsiderate, heartless, and finds it amusing to watch someone die in front of him! And it'll be all your fault for his takeover! Your family and 'girl' will all die—"

"Shut up!" nothing was more strange than hearing someone you were so close to, sound so evil and hateful towards you. "Seth understands me and his rule will help me! I will have what I deserve. And if you can't be supportive, than die!"

Humphrey shut his eyes, prepared for a fatal blow.

"Is anyone missing?" Hayden asked.

Maggie and Delilah shook their heads at the same time. Both sisters had led one last party to the former Eastern territory to make sure no one was missing (except Luna and the rest of course).

"Okay. Thanks," Hayden dipped her head. "You should get home."

Maggie and Delilah nodded and padded away. Hayden turned to the second patrol. Their lead, Lyra, looked a bit more troubled. "Lyra? Was all casual in Western?" Hayden asked, trying to act like she hadn't noticed the cream-colored wolf's expression.

"Actually…we couldn't seem to find a few Omegas," Lyra replied.

"Which few?"

"If I recall correctly, Shakey and his family. Also Salty and Mooch."

"All of dad's friends…" Hayden murmured, forgetting her brother wasn't here at the moment. "Plus two."

Lyra pricked her ears, waiting for more directions.

"Okay, I'll do something about it," Hayden promised. "All of you go home. You never know what a Southerner would do if they find out I'm the only defense."

Lyra dipped her head and slowly walked away, her group trotting off in all directions.

"So what up with our case?"

Hayden jumped and even squeaked a little as her brother came up from behind her. "Jake!" she gasped. "Why don't you tell somebody when you're gonna do that?"

"Sorry," he apologized. He sat down, wrapping his tail around his paws. "But as I was saying. How's your 'traitor' case going?"

"Don't use air quotes!" Hayden scolded, flattening her ears. "I know someone's out to get us."

"Sorry for the air quotes," Jake lifted one paw. "So? Any leads?"

"Five," Hayden looked down. "Five Omegas aren't here."

"You think one of them could be helping with the assassination of mom and dad?"

"I think…" Hayden's tail-tip twitched. "But none of them really had a motive to do so."

"Who were they?"

"Dad's friends. All three. Plus Shakey's mate and pup."

"Janice and Lucas?"

Hayden nodded.

Now it was Jake's turn to think carefully. "Hmm. It must be Janice. Salty, Shakey, and Mooch are dad's friends and Luke was helping Troy get Luna back. Janice doesn't exactly have an excuse to love dad. Why not hate him?"

Hayden shook her head. "It couldn't be her! Janice and Reba are not blood thirsty or ambitious for the Head-Alpha position. What about Luke? He was awfully jumpy today."

"No way. He loves Luna and was only jumpy because he's a naturally nervous nerd. Of course he'd be twice as nervous if his dad told him the Northerners were attacking. Of course he's missing, he told me he was going to help Troy!"

"Then that only leaves dad's friends," Hayden put her paw to her muzzle. "He was closest to Salty. So it couldn't be him."

"Maybe it could. You know the old term: keep your enemies closer than your friends. Dad trusts him, all the more reason to let his guard down around him," Jake shrugged.

"No. It just…couldn't be…" Hayden shook her head. "Mooch?"

"Nah. Not enough brains."

"It could be an act."

"True…"

"I hate this. For all we know, there could be no traitor."

"Someone had to have set up Uncle Garth and Aunt Lilly."

Hayden's light brown eyes narrowed mischievously. Jake's dark blue ones widened. "No…" he whispered. Louder, he exclaimed, "No, no! We were doing so fine on our own. Can't we just stay out of this one?"

Hayden shook her head. "Tell Delilah and Maggie they're in charge. We're going to help."

"We're dead," Jake whined.

Luna stared wide-eyed at the angry wolves around her. She could tell Selena was fighting the urge to cower behind her. Luna recognized the pale brown form of Max push his way to the front of the crowd. She noticed he was bleeding and his ears were torn and he was favoring one of his hind legs. Where had he gotten so many injuries? And where was his partner in crime, Hawk?

"Well, well, well," Max smirked. "Was our favorite little Omega attempting another escape?"

Luna opened her jaws to retort. "I…um…you see…! Er…would you believe the little puppy's room?"

Max shook his head.

"Course not. Mind if we just escorted ourselves back to the den? As if this was all just me and my friend trying to stretch our legs?" Luna offered. Selena gave a ridiculous smile when Luna addressed her as 'my friend.'

Max shook his head again. "Nope. That's not how we work in Southern territory. Get them—" Max was cut off as all heads turned, including his own. To their right, an old tree was tilting until it fell completely over. A wolf let out a loud yelp as he fell over too, revealing he must've pushed the weak tree over. He fell on top of it with a huff and scrambled to sit up. "I'm okay," he said, although he looked a little dazed.

Luna's never felt so happy to see him in her entire life and proved it by wagging her tail a mile a minute. "Troy!" she breathed.

"I thought Hawk and I dealt with you!" Max snarled.

"Well not even Hawk could stop all of them," Troy pointed with his nose to something behind him. Pure joy made Luna's heart skip a beat. Out of the shadows, was a snarling, fierce-looking group of Alphas. They were led by Tony, Winston, and Eve.

"Luna, dear!" Eve exclaimed and raced towards her granddaughter. She snarled threateningly at Selena.

"Oh no, she's my friend," Luna assured.

"Oh, what a cute little dear," Eve's expression switched to friendly and she patted Selena's head.

"You can't just storm into our territory and—"

"We're still Head-Alphas," Tony interrupted Max.

"You're all dead!" snarled on Southern wolf.

"Are we? May we remind you that more than half your pack is off trying to murder my daughters and one heck of a lot of us are here to get back my granddaughter," Winston retorted coolly.

The enemy wolves all looked suddenly uncomfortable and a little panicky. Three wolves broke from the back of the crowd and crawled up to Winston and Tony, trying to smile friendly.

"What are you doing?" demanded the black wolf from earlier. Luna hadn't noticed him sneak up behind her, the brown wolf with black ears at his side.

"There's no point in fighting anymore," said a tan female that seemed to be the leader. "We don't want Seth as a ruler. We want fair, considerate leaders like these guys. We're fighting for them."

The next few minutes shocked Luna more than anything else. Max—of all wolves!—walked up to Winston, looked him in the eyes, and stood beside him.

"Martha speaks the truth," he declared.

The Southern/Northern wolves exchanged glances with each other. Some snarled 'traitor' to Max and the three females. Others rolled their eyes at those wolves and walked to Winston. Unfortunately, it was barely half of them.

"If you won't join us, then surrender now," Winston told the remaining wolves. "You're outnumbered now."

"Southerners never surrender!" shouted the jet-black wolf. "Make on more move old man and we kill the girl on the spot!"

Eve snarled and pounced on him, both forepaws pressing deep onto his throat. The other wolves darted forward to pry her off their pack-mate. Winston and his group charged after them. Luna flexed her claws, ready to help, but was surprised to feel something bite into her tail and stop her. She prepared to fight off the enemy, but realized it was her brother.

"Troy!" Luna hugged him tightly. "I'm so sorry! I should've listened to you! I should've trusted you! I'm so sorry."

"Later," Troy interrupted. "We need to make sure the other Alphas got to mom and dad in time!"

Luna nodded in agreement, but Troy had already begun to run. Together, they raced through the strange territory and then across their own. They were surprised to see Hayden and Jake on the way there. But there was no time to stop.

"What the?" Jake began. Before she knew it, Luna heard eight more paws pounding after her and her littermate. She didn't look back though. That would slow her down.

Finally, the young wolves were racing through most of Northern pack territory.

The siblings skidded to a halt. In front of them was the battlefield. The other Alphas from their pack had joined the fight. Luna was surprised to hear a deafening howl of pain coming from Seth himself.

In the center of the battle, he had been battling with an outraged Lilly. Now something on his rump was bleeding and Luna realized half his tail was missing!

Seth glared at the white wolf with rage. "You. Ripped. Off. My. Tail!"

Lilly spat out the piece of dark gray fur. "Never said I wouldn't."

Seth snarled. Now he was extremely mad. He lunged for Lilly. Troy and Luna didn't see the rest because they were both racing towards them.

Luna heard a familiar snarl behind her. She slid to a stop and turned to see the familiar shape of her uncle. He was pinned down by…

Luna's eyes widened. There was a traitor from her pack. He was ready to hurt Uncle Humphrey. The one who trusted him the most. She had been betrayed by…

Now, I know I'm not one to beg for reviews. But c'mon! That was one heck of a cliffhanger!
