Nova paced Roman's home.
"Is there something we can get you Alpha?", Corey asked.
"Get me Finn Balor", she said.
He nodded and walked out. Abigail walked in. The Phoenix was still not completely happy with Abigail, but let her stay because of Nova.
"What do you want?", she asked.
"I wanted to apologize to you and Nova for what I did. I tried to change it, but he said I still hadn't learned my lesson yet", Abigail said.
"He? Who's he?", The Phoenix asked.
"The Boogeyman, he's the one who granted me all of this.", Abigail said.
"Granted what? I don't understand", The Phoenix said.
Seth was interested as well. Crossing his arms over his chest and paying close attention to Abigail. She took a deep breath before explaining everything to her. Keeping the detail about the kids to herself, not wanting to set off the Phoenix.
"I'm sorry, I, my father he", the Phoenix lifted her hand to shut Abigail up.
"I know", she said.
Abigail looked around, confused.
"Where's Roman? I was hoping I could tell you both and maybe you two can talk to The Boogeyman", Abigail said.
"We don't know where he or Dean are", Seth said.
"He went to the castle to talk to your grandfather", Abigail said.
Seth nodded.
"He sold them to someone, someone who's going to use them to fight", Seth said.
Abigail swallowed and felt more guilt eat away at her.
"You should feel guilty, if the story you tell us is true, you did all of this", The Phoenix said, after reading Abigail's thoughts.
Braun growled at Nova. Seth stood in front of her.
"Don't you dare be disrespectful to your Alpha", Seth growled back.
Braun cast his eyes to the floor.
"I'm sorry", Braun said.
"Its perfectly fine. You felt like I was threatening your mate. She's pregnant, you took to defend her. Roman would have done the same for me", The Phoenix said.
Braun nodded.
"I can help you find Alpha Reigns and Beta Ambrose", Braun said.
"How?", The Phoenix asked.
"I've been in a few of those fights and they know me. I can ask around about a black wolf. Roman won't be hard to miss, he's bigger than the rest", Braun said.
"You won't be able to do that till Friday", Seth said.
"Not really. There's a black market underground, you have to sign up for these matches. If you allow me to go down and sign up, I can ask around", Braun said.
"I don't want you going alone", The Phoenix said.
"I'll go with him", Baron said.
The Phoenix nodded.
"Be careful", Seth said, before they left.
Braun kissed Abigail and then her stomach.
"I'll be back soon", he said softly.
Abigail nodded as he walked out the door.
"What changed your mind?", The Phoenix asked her.
"What you helped me remember, Braun, and this baby", Abigail said.
The Phoenix nodded.
Roman and Dean watched as Luke and Karl dragged them to a warehouse. It was dark.
"Flip the light on will you", Karl said.
Luke did. This place looked like an arena, only smaller. Benches around a hug hole that was fenced to keep something in. It was where they held the fights. Roman remembered it from the time his brother brought them.
"Before we enter these two nerds in a fight, we need to see what they can do", Luke said.
Karl nodded.
"Put the white one in first", Luke said.
Karl did. Dean tried to wiggle away from him, but the more he did the more the collar would squeeze his neck.
"Its no use, stop fighting it", Karl said.
Roman growled. Karl had enough of Dean and kicked his side, causing Dean to cry out. Roman started wiggling, trying to get free to help Dean. Luke, pulled harder on Roman's leash to get him to stop. Finally Karl pushed Dean into the small gate that got him ready to enter the ring and shut the door on him.
"Who should we get for practice?", Karl asked.
"Get me Viktor. Konnor can take the Alpha here", Luke said.
Karl nodded and walked to the back. He came back out, dragging a grey wolf. Shoving him into the makeshift arena. Viktor growled and jumped against the fenced arena. Karl laughed and went to grab Dean.
"Just do as he says", Roman linked to Dean.
Karl opened Dean's cage and slowly reached for his leash. Grabbing it and pulling Dean out. He led him to another door that entered the arena.
"The one who injures the other more, wins", Luke said.
Karl nodded.
"Roman, I can't. We don't kill unless necessary", Dean said, backing up a bit.
"He said the one who injures the other more, just injure him, nothing deadly Dean", Roman linked.
They had been taught to only injure at times and now that they were in this position, they were thankful for that training. Roman watched on as Viktor circled Dean. Which was a bad idea, this was suppose to intimidate Dean, but it didn't.
"Wait for it Dean", Roman said.
Viktor jumped at Dean quickly, but he dodged it and Viktor's face landed on the dirt floor. Viktor growled and Dean sat.
Never attack first, this will anger your opponent and make him strike you again and again, only to tire himself out
Matt had told them, so Dean sat.
"He's fast, I'll give him that", Luke said.
Viktor kept trying to get the upper hand on Dean, but he was too fast. Dean saw his chance and took it, biting down on Viktor's throat, only hard enough to get him to concede. Dean growled and Viktor whined, lowering himself to the ground. Luke and Karl nodded. Dean let go and backed up.
"Good job, Dean", Roman said.
Karl called for Viktor, who quickly made his way to the side panel and out. They checked his neck for any damage.
"He's still useful", Karl said.
Luke nodded.
"Lets get the Alpha in there", Luke said.
Karl nodded and came back out with Konnor. He was a little bit bigger than Viktor, but he's dealt with a wolf his size before. Dean shook out his now dirt filled fur. He watched as Roman did the exact same thing he did. Konnor was a little bit faster, but his size tired him out quicker. Dean could tell he wasn't trained like they were.
"You said he was a Hellhound", Luke said.
Karl nodded.
"I want to see that. How do we get it out of him?", Luke asked.
"I'm not sure, maybe try to piss him off", Karl suggested.
"After this, let's try it", Luke said smirking.
They watched as Roman bit down on Konnor's throat. Konnor fought it and Roman let go. Sometimes rogues were a little stronger since they have to survive on their own. All humanity was sometimes gone. Roman watched Konnor carefully, getting ready to jump out of the way.
Konnor jumped and so did Roman. Using just a bit of his Hellhound, he knocked Konnor away from him. Konnor's body sliding against the dirt floor and hitting the back wall. Roman slowly made his way to him and bit down just a little harder on his throat. Konnor tried to fight it, but gave up soon after.
"Perfect", Karl clapped.
Roman growled.
"Konnor, get your ass over here", Karl yelled.
Konnor held his head down and made his way over to Karl. Roman wondered how long Konnor and Viktor had been here. Luke and Karl had broken them.
"Don't worry, you'll come around to submitting to us too, Alpha", Luke said smirking.
Roman growled. He and Dean didn't plan on staying that long.
"Bad doggy", Karl spat at Roman.
"Why wait to break him, let's do it now. The faster they submit, the easier it will be", Luke said.
Karl laughed and nodded.
"I'll get the whip ready", Karl said, before taking Konnor to the back.
Finn had shown up a few minutes after she had asked for him, but he couldn't even sense them.
"It doesn't mean they're dead. I think whoever has them is covering them so they won't be tracked", Finn said.
"Is that possible?", Seth asked.
"Witches magic", The Phoenix said.
"I see you're still out", Finn said.
"Have a problem with that?", she asked.
"Yes, I'm worried about Nova", he said.
"She's fine. She wants Roman back and I plan on giving him back to her", she snapped.
"At what cost? Her life is draining", Finn said.
"Well then let's get to work and find them faster", she said.
"Emerson is pissed at you. You think he's going to take this sitting down? He'll come after you and after this pack", Finn said.
"I can protect this pack", she shouted.
"By killing?", Finn asked.
"If that's what it takes, yes", she said.
"Okay, enough", Seth said, getting between Finn and Nova.
Finn looked towards Abigail.
"What is that thing doing here?", he asked.
"I'm here to help and waiting for Braun's return", Abigail said, her hand making small circles on her stomach.
Finn nodded.
"Are you willing to help me keep this pack safe till I find Roman?", The Phoenix asked.
Finn looked towards her.
"Nova is asking", she said.
Finn nodded.
"I'll get Becky", Finn said, before disappearing.
The Phoenix sighed.
"Abigail", she said.
"Yes Alpha", Abigail said.
"I need you to help me find this Boogeyman. I would like a word with him", she said.
Abigail nodded.
"He lives in the dark woods. I can go to him and tell him to come here", Abigail said.
"No. I can't let anything happen to your child. Braun is doing us a favor and it wouldn't look good if I let his pregnant female go out there", The Phoenix said.
"I can get Nia and Naomi to go out there", Seth said.
"I don't think Naomi will be willing to go out there. She lost her mate and I'm afraid she blames me", The Phoenix said.
"Tell her Boogeyman can change this, he can take us back to our time. He can fix this", Abigail said to Seth.
Seth looked from her to Nova. She nodded. He nodded and left.
"Are you sure he can, fix this? All of this?", the Phoenix asked softly.
Abigail took a step closer to her and nodded.
"He can", she replied.
