A/N: Okay, I know it's getting really good and you probably don't want to waste time here, but hear me out!

Okay, I must say I am surprised no one has figured it out yet. I thought I made it kinda obvious…yay for being the most modest person alive! These next few paragraphs should narrow it down and just when you have that "aha!" moment, Luna will scream his name out loud.

And another yay to my twelfth chapter! Twelve is one of my better numbers, but unfortunately that doesn't influence our chapter. In fact, this one is kinda boring…

I'm not entirely proud of this chapter's ending. But I just couldn't find a good place to end it! So I had to just cut it shorter instead of long.

Night Howler: have you seen what that girl can do to a pine cone? When she's protecting her pups, it was bound to happen!

Shadyboy: Interesting you say that. I'm glad you want to see more of her. I really like Selena. She actually plays a huge part in the next episode of The Successors.

Kswolf: Yes, I've noticed I'm really mean. But to the characters I like, so that means I like you all! It makes for a happier ending!

Anywho, Disclaimer: don't own Movie characters. And I don't usually use bad language, but this story is writing itself! From this point, I am wasting your time, so reveal the traitor!

It was the dead of the night and four wolves were traveling through Jasper Park, towards Northern pack territory. The only female there was finally catching onto why they were really here.

"Northern pack? You told me we were picking berries so Reba's pups could play berry ball!" she exclaimed to her mate.

"She's on the fifty," joked her mate's friend.

"Wait a minute…Northern territory…?" said the female Omega.

"The forty…"

"My only pup is missing…"

"The thirty…!"

The female halted and her eyes widened. "Are you trying to say I've been tricked into helping retrieve my only pup from Northerners?" she gasped.

"What do you know? She jumped to the touchdown," said her mate's friend, slowing to a stop as well.

"Shut up, Salty," growled the female's mate. He seemed to be leading their expedition. "We save that one for dumb girls. Janice isn't dumb."

Salty huffed. "Well. I don't exactly want to be here, you know. A few Alphas were giving me nasty looks as though they think I'm going to betray them or something."

"Well I know you'd never betray us Salty," the female informed him. "If anything, I might've been Mooch they were looking at."

"What makes you say that?" wondered her mate.

"He's not here."

The two males looked around for their friend. "Huh. That's weird…" Salty said.

"Did he go to relieve himself?" asked the Omega in the lead.

"It is possible since he drank so much river water," Salty commented. "Hey? Wouldn't it be funny, if Luke betrayed us?" he laughed after they started walking again.

The usually calm and non-violent Janice slapped him on the back of the head. "Yow!" Salty howled.

"My pup isn't evil!" Janice growled.

"Are you sure about that?" asked a deep voice behind them. All three turned their heads to see the fourth member of their expedition walking quickly up to them.

"Mooch! Where were you?" Shakey said, turning completely around.

Mooch panted before answering. "I apologize for not explaining. But I had to go to the little pup's room."

"Pay up," Shakey whispered, holding out his paw. Janice licked his cheek.

"Why do you look like you've just seen a ghost?" Salty wondered, cocking his head.

"Because I just found where Humphrey and the others are fighting…and you won't believe whose trying to help kill them…" Mooch looked at Shakey.

Luna snarled ferociously and charged. The traitor was hurting her Uncle Humphrey. And when you're a descendant of Eve, you're not to be messed with when your angry.

Luna pounced on her Uncle's attacker and she could tell she had taken him by surprise. They rolled a few feet apart from the rest of the fighting wolves. Luna finally pinned down her pack's traitor. Of all pack-mates to betray her, how could it be him?

"Go ahead. Start asking questions," he growled, sounding annoyed.

"Why?" Luna shook her head, wishing he would let her look him in the eye. "Why would you do it Lucas? I thought you cared about me!"

"You didn't feel the same way!" Luke snapped, snarling, their noses only a couple inches apart. "Why?"

"You were my friend! But that was all. I found love in someone else," Luna replied. "It isn't anyone else's fault you're a sore loser!" she spat.

Luke snarled and scratched her hind legs with his. Luna yelped, jumping backwards a little. Luke sprang to his paws and ran past her, heading back into the sea of fighting wolves to attack his own pack-mates.

Luna stopped him by sinking her teeth into his tail and dragging him backwards.

"We're not done here!" she hissed.

She dragged him past her and stared him directly in the eyes. "You know what?" Luke growled after a little while, his eyes narrowed into slits. "I admit, I was surprised you accepted my offer to go to the Moonlight Howl. It was a test to see if you really would choose some enemy wolf over me. But it was too late then. I was given too much disrespect to back out of my deal."

"The only enemy wolf I see here is you! I am sorry I wasn't a good friend, but it's too late for me to take it back. But I was planning to go to the Moonlight Howl with you as a friend. And if it wasn't for all of this destruction, maybe you could've had me! But you made your choice. You betrayed us!"

"You're the traitor!" Luke retorted, jumping to his paws, so their eyes were leveled. "You snuck around behind everyone's back and had an affair—"

"It wasn't an affair! It was me following what my heart wanted. But it's not like we did anything inappropriate. And after all of this, I definitely don't love you. Not even as a friend. No one will ever love the stupid pup that gave up his Head-Alphas to the worst wolf ever—!"

Luna was cut off by her own yelp of pain. Luke had slapped her, claws and all. To make the scene even more dramatic, thunder roared over their heads as his claws raked her face.

The impact of his blow made Luna fall to the ground. She sniffled.

She gave a warning growl as she felt Luke press his paws onto the back of her head, forcing it to stay on the forest floor. "No one in your pathetic pack may like me. But tons of Seth followers appreciate me. You have no idea how many females here have asked me to howl with them. You're the worst wolf ever! You and your family can't lead a pack! Seth treats everyone fairly and with respect—"

"He lied to you!" Luna screamed. "You traitor! Seth lies! He lied to you! He'd say anything to get you to do what he wants! Once me and my family are dead, he'll break all his promises! You'll be treated worse under his—"

Lightning blazed across the sky as Luke bit into her throat. Luna yelped with surprise then flailed her paws, choking. "I hate you, drama queen," he growled coldly. "You broke my heart, so now I don't care what happens to you. In fact, I hope Seth wins tonight. You don't know how it feels putting up with being a bullied Omega like me!"

You remember the term 'life flashes before your eyes'? Well instead, Luna had flashbacks of the real way Luke lived. Humphrey was wrong. Sure, he didn't have many responsibilities, leaving him carefree, but he was bullied. Some Alphas would taunt him for having a vegetarian mother and an Omega father since much of this generation had one parent of each rank. They called him weak, and useless without Alpha blood from either parent. None of Luke's friends ever did anything when he got bullied. Not even Luna. Sure she gave the Alphas some attitude, but didn't think much of the matter. Until now. But by now, it was too late.

"Luke…I'm sorry," Luna rasped. "I know I wasn't there when I should've been but now I—"

Luke growled furiously and tossed her aside. Luna slid through the mud and let out an ear-splitting yelp as she hit her head hard on a tree. Luke stormed up to her and stood over her. "It's too late for 'I'm sorry,'" he hissed. "I've already had to go through the pain and I had parents too stupid to do anything about it—!"

"Your parents cared about you!" Luna stumbled to her paws. "It was your fault you felt so alone since you never even bothered to tell them about what was happening to you!" she yelled, rain or no rain.

"What was I supposed to say? What were they going to do?" Luke demanded. "They're both nothing but weak clowns! What's an Omega good for anyways?"

"Listen to yourself," Luna tried to lower her voice. She was shaking, but it was from being cold than fear. This was just one of her childhood friends losing his way. She wasn't afraid of him. He wouldn't hurt her. This was all because he loved her. "You're no better than the Alphas who did all of that to you. I admit…I wasn't a very good friend. I wasn't there every time you needed me and I wish I could do it all over. But hurt me if you must! Not your own pack! So many innocent wolves are and will get hurt because you chose the wrong way out. Seth is evil, but you aren't. You're a fun-loving Omega who enjoys feeling like a pup—"

"Shut up!" Luke roared. "I am no Omega! I live in Seth's pack now. I am an Alpha."

"No, you're not!" Luna argued. "Lucas, if you just stop now, maybe there could be a chance for you and me."

"You just can't stop lying, can you? Well I'm no longer vulnerable to your little tricks! Alphas don't fall for them. And I am an Alpha…" his voice trailed off and he stood up straighter, prouder.

Luna snapped. "You're the weak one!" she yelled. "You honestly think Seth will keep his promises? How does my word matter less than someone who made you a nervous wreck?"

"I am a Seth-shipper now! I refuse to return to your worthless pack! My life there is rejection and loneliness! And I sure as hell will watch you die before you take me back!"

Luna was taken aback. She gasped and stared at the other wolf. This wasn't her friend. This was a traitor. A monster created from a broken heart. A Seth follower or Seth-shipper as they called themselves.

Luna flattened her ears as she decided on something. She looked at Luke unblinkingly. "Fine then. Kill me. You can watch me die. Then you'll go back to the life you know you love, just forgot you did!"

"No. You're dying tonight. But I'm not going back. So now you and your family will see what it's like to be given pain and death and be ignored. Like me. I was verbally tortured and died on the inside when Seth told me the girl I loved was in love with someone else. Seth told me. A complete stranger. I was ignored by everyone. My parents, my pack-mates, and you. Well now, you will suffer a slow death. And I will do nothing. I'll watch Seth do it. I'll be cheering him on. And I won't listen to you. I won't go back. I will stay where I want to be. I'm no chew toy or predictable book! You thought you could read me? Well guess what. Here's a twist!"

Luke raised his paw, ready for a brutal strike. Luna didn't do anything. She slid onto her belly and closed her eyes. She was aware Luke wouldn't kill her. Hateful or not, he said Seth would carry out the dark deeds tonight. But she knew Luke was going to injure her brutally and painfully. But she wasn't going to give him pleasure by showing her fear and pain. She was going to accept death with dignity. Better her than Troy, or Lilly, or Garth right? Maybe when Luke felt her blood on his paws, he'd think twice…maybe he'd listen….

The next few seconds were shocking. Almost more shocking than seeing Max turn good. Luna heard a yelp of pain from Luke and another wolf's snarl. The snarl sounded unfamiliar. She opened her eyes.

Flying right past her nose were two figures going too fast for her to recognize. One threw itself into the battle. The larger one jumped high into the air. "Wolf pile!" he yelled, landing on top of a group of Southern wolves, crushing them so hard, they yelped and whined.

As for Luke, he was being pinned down about two yards away from Luna. Luna's eyes widened. "I don't believe this…" she whispered.

"Me neither. But what do you say we stay out of this one?" offered a new voice. Luna saw Janice walking up to her and both started watching the scene before them. Luna seemed shocked, but Janice only watched with an unreadable expression.

"You can't stop me old man…" Luke snickered in his opponent's face.

"You're no son of mine," Shakey growled. He raked his claws down his pup's face, making Luke give a howl of pain so loud, it could be heard over any thunder or lightning.

Troy was doing a pretty good job at fighting if he did say so himself. He felt like he was nearing the heart of the fight, where his mother and Seth were still going for each other's throat.

Troy heard a deafening howl of pain. He noticed it came from the direction Luna had rolled off with Luke. "Luna!" he growled protectively and raced in that direction. A snarling Northerner jumped in his way and pinned him down easily. Troy felt annoyed. What was this, the sixth time? Troy kicked the wolf's belly and sent it flying off of him.

Troy shook out his fur. He could tell the Northerners from the Southerners because the Northern wolves were so easy to fight! Maybe it was just his Eve genes kicking in.

There was another painful yelp. Troy pricked his ears. It sounded like Lilly! Was he supposed to help Luna or his mother? Troy looked around for Garth. He couldn't see his father anywhere.

Luna knows how to protect herself, Troy decided. He raced through the mass of snapping and snarling wolves, heading for the center where his mother was fighting the lead enemy. That howl wasn't even hers. It was a male's. But that yelp was definitely mom's!

A wolf fell to the ground in front of Troy. He leaped over it like it was a fallen log and continued to run, swiftly dodging and jumping over other wolves. He had to reach Lilly.

Troy finally found them. Seth had his teeth deep into Lilly's foreleg and had his claws raised, ready to shred her belly. Troy jumped forward before he could. His claws reached Seth's shoulders and he pushed the Head-Alpha off of his parent. Troy must've taken the blood-thirsty wolf by surprise because he had him pinned down easily. For a brief moment Seth looked a little…scared.

Well that's good! Troy thought bitterly. This is all his fault! My whole family could die tonight and it'll be because of him.

Troy put both of his paws on Seth's throat and pressed his claws deep through the sensitive skin. Seth smirked as Troy hesitated to go any deeper. Could he really do it? Could Troy really kill this wolf? Despite how evil he was, murder was a dark deed.

A small voice in Troy's head began to challenge him. Do it! He will kill you if you don't kill him first. Kill him! Now!

Another painful scream filled Troy's ears. Cheyenne! She sounded as though it was something agonizing. Troy pricked his ears and looked around for her. He might as well have been looking for a Chihuahua in a blizzard.

Troy's attention switched back to Seth who had tried to throw him off. Troy growled. Maybe he couldn't bring himself to kill Seth, but he could make him suffer long enough for someone who did have guts….

Troy bit down into Seth's throat. He listened to Seth's pained yelp and gagging. The wolf flailed his paws, scratching Troy. But Troy was too strong. Blood from a wound on his head trickled between his eyes. He was mad. For once in his life, couldn't he just have a normal, carefree life of enjoyment with his family? One day was all he asked! No assassinations, no forbidden relationships, no wars, no murderers padding behind him in the shadows.

Troy's jaws were beginning to sink extremely deep. Seth's forepaws grew weaker and he began to relax. Troy dropped him. So much for the killer instinct.

Troy bit into Seth's right ear and half of it clean off. Seth tried to cry out with pain, but he was still choking. Troy was just getting started. He bit deep into the gray and brown wolf's leg and forced it into nearly a complete circle. Something broke. Seth howled with pain. His Seth-shippers were too busy to aid their leader. Troy clawed at Seth's belly with his hind claws and used his foreclaws to shred his muzzle and nose. He did so for a long time, until he grew tired.

Troy looked down at his victim. Seth was looking at him. He looked so weak, so vulnerable or helpless. "You're becoming me," he whispered.

Troy growled, feeling insulted.

"You're killing me slowly. You want me to suffer," was Seth whimpering? "Only a cold-blooded killer would kill that way."

Troy began breathing hard. He was giving this wolf a taste of his own medicine, not turning into him! Or was he…?

Seth's pup-like expression suddenly turned back into an evil smirk and he threw Troy off. Troy landed on a fallen log, yelping as the bark nearly stabbed him. Seth limped up to him. "It really is a shame you're not a Southerner. We could've been brothers…."

"If we're kin, then hell has frozen over!" Troy spat. He slashed Seth's cheek and lunged for him, pinning him down again and biting into his broken leg.

Seth had trouble fighting back with three legs, but he was still fierce. Troy was growing weak. How much longer could he go on?

Despite his broken paw, Seth still managed to drag Troy into a tight ball of them trying to pin the other one down. Seth came out on top this time.

Seth snickered before sinking his fangs into Troy's throat. He scratched Troy all over with his hind claws and used his good forepaw to sink his claws into Troy's cheek.

"Does this look familiar?" he taunted.

Troy snapped at his nose. Seth slapped him (with his good paw) and bit into his throat again. "Never defy me!" Seth snarled but didn't release Troy. "It'll only lead to this: destruction and pain."

Seth didn't let go for a long time. Troy gasped and coughed. Seth was done playing games. It was time for the final bite. Troy breathed heavily. His body was burning with pain. He tried to scream, but he could only gag.

His vision was beginning to go fuzzy. He tried to fight the fuzziness because he knew what would happen if it overwhelmed him. But Troy soon realized that when he allowed the dizzying view to be there…the pain stopped. He felt numb. He was so tired. What was the point in fighting anymore…?

"Stop! Stop it, stop hurting him!"

Suddenly, the jaws weren't around Troy's throat anymore. His vision was still blurry, but slowly began to clear up. He coughed and struggled to roll onto his stomach. When he weakly managed to, he blinked. "Cherry…?"

The cream and gold wolf was wrestling with Seth. They were snapping and clawing at each other, but were moving too fast to describe.

Cheyenne slashed Seth's muzzle and tried to lunge for his weak spot: his broken leg. But Seth was fast and clever. He jumped out of the way and pushed Cheyenne to the ground with his nose. He dug his teeth into her throat.

"No…!" Troy's throat still hadn't cleared up. "Please, don't!"

Seth pricked his ears and dropped Cheyenne lazily. She coughed. Troy was too wounded to comprehend how to stand up. He crawled closer to them. Cheyenne rolled over to face him. "Don't do it…" she pleaded.

Troy ignored her. He raised his head and glared at Seth without blinking. "Continue to torture me all you want. She hasn't done anything to threaten your leadership. Just don't hurt her."

Seth's half-tail flicked. He walked behind Troy and bit into his tail, pulling it hard. Troy yelped and instinctively scratched with his hind claws, scarring Seth's nose. The Head-Alpha yelped with pain and shook his head, pawing at the bleeding spots.

While Seth tended to his wounds, Cheyenne scooted closer to Troy so that her paw was on top of his (an animal way of holding hands). "You're kind, but stupid!" Cheyenne whispered, her eyes glazed over with pain and misery. "If my blood is spilt, it matters less than yours. Nothing will happen if I die. You're a future Head-Alpha. Your what little your pack has left to believe in."

"But what can I believe in?" Troy replied. "I might barely know you, but I definitely know there's something about us being together that's special."

Cheyenne smiled. "Thanks. I thought so too."

"I love you, Cheyenne."

Cheyenne looked mildly surprised. But with death nearly upon them, she felt bold. "I love you too," she murmured as fangs grabbed Troy's throat again.

Hmm…not my best ending. But before we go onto the next exciting chappie, can I just say? Who the heck are Candy, Scar, and Sweets? Are they in the movie? It's killing me!

Oh, and to taunt you like the new Harry Potter movie (it turns out, it's coming out a month later than I thought! Why do you hate me?), is anyone the least bit suspicious of what happened to Logan? Seriously, the guy mysteriously disappeared and was last seen in the paws of a blood-thirsty psycho!
