Dear Lovely Beautiful Readers, I am SOOOOOOOOO sorry for all the late updates! I usually have chapters prepared in advance...BUT THAT IS NO EXCUSE FOR KEEPING YOU WAITING FOR SO LONG.

So please, enjoy! -Atiana

Percy was drying his face when they heard footsteps pounding down the stairs. Ethan's eyes widened and he whisper-shouted "Do everything that I do." The basement door creaked open. Ethan dropped himself to the floor and bowed his head, making movements with his eyes for Percy to do the same. Percy did his best to imitate the position.

"Hello…? Anyone awake?"

Percy wanted to grind his teeth at the voice, but Ethan hadn't dared move, so he didn't either.

"Ah, look. My two toys seem to have gotten along with each other." Bryce smirked at the boys kneeling on the floor. "Perfect."

Fast as lightning he slammed his hands onto the bars of Percy's cage, causing the Omega to stumble back. "We're going to play this game my way." He sneered. "Listen and no one gets hurt. Disobey and you'll wish you'd never been born."

Percy gulped and nodded. Bryce grinned and began to unlock the cage doors.

While he was focused on that task, Percy stole a glance at Ethan. His body was trembling slightly, but other than that he seemed fine. The Omega could hardly believe Ethan's story about Bryce being a good person.

Bryce was never going to let him escape. This was his only chance. He needed to take it.

Percy jumped as Bryce gripped his arm tightly. He waited until the Beta pulled him out of the cage. He went limp as a doll for a total of five seconds. Bryce raised his eyebrow at the boy. In his tin state of confusion, Percy took the opportunity to give Bryce a swift kick where the sun doesn't shine.

The Beta went down growling. "You little…"

Percy ran away. Ethan called out after him, but he was too afraid to turn around. Bryce was already chasing him. He was able to dodge the other werewolf's attempts. Percy raced up the basement stairs.

Everything is going to be fine, he thought as his heart raced. Maybe I can get out of here myself and find my way back to Jason.

And then Percy turned the corner.

Guards were stationed everywhere. At every door, in every hallway. Curiously enough, none of them made a move to capture Percy. Instead, they stifled their laughs.

"Need some help, Beta Bryce?" One called out.

Bryce clenched his teeth and growled so loudly every guard's eyes shifted into their wolf's color. "Question me or defile my name again, and I will make sure every drop of your blood is spread on every wall of this complex."

Complex? Percy thought. He turned another corner, only to slam into a body.

The Omega crashed onto the floor and peered into the cold eyes of Alpha Octavian.

Octavian growled and snatched up Percy's wrist. Percy whined in pain.

"Honestly, Bryce." He chuckled. "An Omega was giving you trouble?" Bryce said nothing as he stood before his superior. Eventually, the Alpha shoved Percy into Bryce. 'Make sure he's punished."

"Of course, Alpha." Bryce sneered. Percy gulped.

Bryce dragged Percy back to the basement. Ethan stared at them with wide eyes as Bryce threw the smaller wolf onto the ground. And then he began his assault.

"How dare-" kick "you embarrass-" punch "Me in front of the entire pack!" scratch.

"Someone as lowly as you should be happy you're still alive! Be ecstatic you still serve a purpose!" Percy held his arms over his head and tried to protect himself. By now, Bryce had half-shifted, so his claws were out and his eyes were shining. He attacked Percy anywhere there was bare skin. The arms, the stomach, his legs, his thighs. One hand caught Percy on the cheek and he cried out.

"If you weren't Jason Grace's mate, you would have been dead by now. Understand? The only reason you're still here is so that you can lure that stupid Alpha to us. Hell, we might even kill you right in front of him."

Percy stopped trying to protect himself. Silent tears ran down his face. Bryce grinned a wolfish grin. He raised a hand and was about to hit Percy in the face, but a hand stopped him.

The Beta turned around. Ethan held his arm in the air, his own cheeks wet with tears. Bryce growled. "What are you doing?"

Ethan spoke quietly. "Alpha Octavian didn't want you to hurt Percy too badly."

Bryce stopped and looked at the Omega. The boy had scratches all over his body and was bleeding terribly. The Beta sneered. "Whatever." He spat out.

Bryce shifted back into a human. "I'm leaving. Make sure he's chained up by the time I get back, pet." He left the basement, Percy's blood on his arms and clothes, slamming the door.

Ethan broke down as soon as the door closed. He cradled the beaten Omega in his arms and sobbed.

"I'm sorry…I'm so, so sorry…"

Caelum's feet pounded into the floor. Jason's brain was working on overtime.

He knew where Percy was now. Nothing was going to stop him from saving his Luna.

~~~Flashback~~~

"You know who took Percy?" Jason said. "Tell me!"

Zeus and Hera looked at each other. "There's something you need to know first. About the history of our pack."

"We are called the Olympian Pack for a reason, son." Zeus said. "A long time ago, when your great-grandfather Ouranos first started our pack, he was blessed by the Moon Goddess."

"She gave him amazing powers, Jason." Hera said. "He was strong and had the ability to heal. His pack members adored him."

"Eventually, Ouranos was tricked by his wife Gaea to use those powers for bad. His children persuaded him not to listen to his mate, as did the rest of the pack, but Ouranos decreed (under the influence of Gaea) that if anyone were to defy the Luna, the punishment would be death." Zeus continued.

"The Moon Goddess herself tried to reason with him, but he was now corrupt. There was no way for her to take back the powers she'd given him, either." Hera added.

"The Moon Goddess called on a child of Ouranos to take him down, and his youngest son Kronos volunteered. Kronos challenged his father as Alpha, and they fought to the death. Ouranos was killed, and his powers were passed on to his son. For a while, everyone was at peace. They'd banished Gaea as a rogue. Kronos met his mate, Rhea. Together, they had me." Zeus said. "My father used the powers for good, and the Moon Goddess was so pleased with him, she decided to bestow a couple more gifts among the Olympian pack."

"Basically, we all have a special connection with her." Hera said. "Ouranos passed it down to Kronos, Kronos passed it to Zeus, and your father passed it down to you."

Jason was shocked. "But…how…what powers do I have?"

Zeus smiled fondly, the past shining in his eyes. "Probably something along the lines of controlling lightning."

"What?!" Jason's eyes bugged out of his head.

Hera chuckled. "When you were little, you would get a temper tantrum and cause a storm cloud to appear over the pack grounds."

Jason's mouth opened and closed, but he shook his head and focused. "What does that have to do with Percy and where he is?"

Zeus sighed. "When I was Alpha, I accepted a rogue named Orcus. The rogue brought two young cubs with him. Bryce Lawrence and Octavian."

"They were about three when you were born." Hera said.

"As you got older, everyone knew you were going to be an amazing Alpha. Everyone except for Orcus. He tried to take the pack away from me so his eldest son could inherit it. He lost, of course. His sons escaped in the night and were never seen again." Zeus finished.

"We think that Octavian was the one that kidnapped Percy." Hera said. "As revenge for his father's death."

Anger coursed through Jason's body.

Zeus sighed. "This is exactly why we wanted to wait to tell you-"

"Wait?" Jason growled. "Percy and I could've been back together by now if you'd told me this information sooner! Goddess knows what they're doing to him over there?!"

The young Alpha charged away from his parents.

"Jason!" Hera called. "Jason, stop!"

"No!" Jason whipped around, barely holding Caelum back for his parent's sake. "No more wasting time. Tomorrow at dawn, we move out. Understood?" His Alpha eyes flashed.

Zeus and Hera sighed and nodded.

~~~Flashback Over~~~~

We're finally getting something done. Jason thought to himself as Caelum led his pack towards the Alpha Rogue's lands.

I can't wait to have you back in my arms, Percy. I promise, I'll never let you go.

Bryce knocked on Octavian's office door. "Come in." The Alpha drawled.

Bryce entered the room. If Octavian noticed the blood all over Bryce, he didn't say anything. (However, it was extremely difficult not to notice because Omega blood has a distinct smell.)

"I take it the runt was punished?" He asked.

Bryce nodded. "And news from the guards, Alpha. Jason's pack is approaching the boundary lines."

Octavian looked up from the papers he was reading. Once he realized his Beta was serious, he grinned and drop-kicked the papers all over his office.

"Let's get this show on the road, Bryce."
