RAVI'S POV

    "Pup, it's time to get up." Drake murmured, rattling one side of my cage. I lifted my head, blinking sleepily and frowning. 
    "Come." Drake commanded, unlocking the crate. I hesitated, rocking back on my heels and glaring up at him. Drake chuckled softly, reaching out to grab a plate off the table and offer me a piece of meat. 
    "Come on," Drake crooned. I crawled forward, stepping carefully out of the crate and beginning to stand up. 
    "Sit." Drake commanded, pushing me down with his free hand. He tossed me the meat and I caught it with my cupped hands, eating it quickly. 
    "I brought you a friend. Her name is Chohee. Be nice, okay?" Drake said, running his fingers through my hair and on his blood-stained fingertips. I nodded, and Drake reached out to unlock the door. It swung open and Drake whistled softly, holding out another piece of meat. 
    A svelte female purred her way into the room, her scent falling around me in a wave. She smelled of musk and pine, tossing her hair back and sending another round of perfume through the air. Drake tossed her the meat and Chohee caught it in , standing up and revealing her curvy figure. She was dressed in tight black clothes and was red with blood, her skin smooth and milky. 
    "Chohee, say hi to Ravi." Drake said. She leaned forward and swept one cheek against mine in a wolf's greeting, blood smearing from her lips onto mine. Her scent clouded around me and my mind hazed, my tongue tracing the blood. 
    "Ravi, some other people are going to be here soon. They're not good, though. We don't like them." Drake said, calling my attention to him. 
    "Who are they?" I asked, distracted when Chohee twined her body around mine, nuzzling into my neck. 
     "They're prey." Drake hissed. He reached behind him, fiddling with something on the table and passing it to Chohee. 
    "If you hunt well with her, I'll be very pleased with you." Drake smiled. "And, you'll be able to eat as much of your kill as you want." 
    There was a prick in my arm and I looked down at the syringe in Chohee's slender hand. My eyes widened and I looked up at Drake. 
    "What the hell was that?" I asked breathlessly, my hands shifting in my cuffs. Drake shook his head reassuringly. 
    "Just something to give you a boost. Pure adrenaline." Drake said. He bent down, gripping my shoulder and smiling at me. "You'll start to feel it soon."
    Drake's hand snapped across my cheekbone suddenly and I reeled back from the force of it, shock turning to anger when I focused my gaze back on him. I growled and Drake laughed, picking up a bizarre piece of leather. 
    "That's good; hold onto your anger. It'll help the change." Drake said, buckling the collar around my neck tightly. He hit me again and I growled, lunging towards him only to be stopped by Chohee slamming into my chest. She knocked me back and crouched protectively in front of Drake, her lips drawn back in a snarl. 
    I growled a sullen response and Chohee slunk away, giving Drake room to fill another syringe and slip it into my arm. 
    "Here." Drake murmured, unlocking my cuffs and ruffling my hair. "Go hunt."
    Chohee was back and she brushed up against my side, drawing me after her. The adrenaline thundered through my veins and Chohee nipped at my flank, her teeth drawing blood and a spark of anger rising in my chest. We trotted through the tunnels, my teeth snapping out and my ears picking up the sound of people moving ahead. 
    I could smell more wolves around us, but I was mostly preoccupied by the sweet scent ahead of us. There were humans ahead, full of blood and warmth, rich for the taking. I chuffed a grumble at Chohee and she purred back, her eyes burning gold and her teeth expanding over her lips. 
    She leapt forward and I followed, both of us running side by side, ready to hunt. 

YOUNGMIN'S POV

    "What's the plan?" The voice was Luhan's and he pushed his glasses up on his nose, looking determinedly at Kris. We were all clustered around Suga's body and it had been several hours since we had discovered it, all of us trying to figure out what to do next. 
    "As soon as it gets dark, we're going to the catacombs. The more time Drake has with Ravi, the more damage he can do." Kris said. We all nodded and Luc looked to Iri, who was sitting propped up on a chair. 
    "Iri, we're going to need to know everything you can remember. You tell Luhan, he can create a map. Xiumin, Chen, supplies. Tao, weapons. Kris, you and Magnus come with me and we'll work out the kinks. Yixing, help Tao." Luc said shortly. There was a knock on the door and Kris' hand was on his gun, all of us on our feet.
    "Calm down, I called some back-up." Magnus rolled his eyes, walking over to the door and opening it. Alec stood on the doorstep, dressed all in black with a bow slung over one shoulder and a glittering sword at his side. There were long daggers affixed to his gauntlets and he pushed his hair back from his face, giving Magnus a smile and a kiss. 
    "Lower your guns, I like his face without bullet holes in it." Magnus commanded, turning around. Kris holstered his gun while Alec blushed, moving inside so Magnus could close the door. 
    "Alright, everyone hop to!" Kris commanded. We all started bustling with activity, getting ready. 

    Two hours later, it was dark outside and we were ready. We were all dressed in black and carried plenty of weapons and flashlights. We all rode down to the cars and piled into the escalade, Luhan busy showing us the map he had made. Iri was back at the rooms—"holding down the fort"—and Luhan would stay in the car and act as the safety. 
    "Nobody do anything stupid." Kris said as we stepped out of the car. 
    We all rolled our eyes, sneaking to a large grate in the ground and consulting Luhan's map. This opening was supposed to lead into the catacombs and we all took turns dropping down and looking around. 
    "Let's start moving." Kris said, flicking on his flashlight. Blue sparks provided light from Magnus' hands and Luc contributed with flames, keeping us from tripping in the tunnels. 
    There were bones everywhere and I shivered, trying not to focus on them. We walked for about half an hour before noticing a torch set into the wall. 
    "We must be in the right place." Xiumin said quietly. We all nodded our agreement and continued, alert for any threats. 
    Dim light came from torches flickering on the wet walls and I shivered, thoroughly creeped out by the stacks of bones everywhere. We walked until we came to section that split into three different tunnels. I looked back at Magnus, lighting the way with blue sparks, and then at Luc with his gold flames. 
    "Now what?" I asked. 
    "Split into three. Tao, Alec, and I will take the middle. Magnus, you and Xiumin can take the left. Chen, Luc, and Yixing, you guys take the right." Kris said. 
    "I'll go in the middle." I said. Kris nodded and I squeezed my emei more firmly, the metal comforting me. 
    We all filed off and I was glad for Kris' flashlight providing more light. Alec was walking confidently at the front, an arrow already notched in his bow and ready to be released. Tao was gripping a handgun tightly, bringing up the rear, and his rifle was slung over his shoulder.
    The tunnel gradually tapered to a large room, a gruesome stack of skulls grinning at us from the walls. An aqueduct bisected the room and dirty water slid by, scorch marks blackening the stone walls. There was a tunnel on the other side of the aqueduct, and I could see more tunnels emptied into this room. 
    "Hold." Kris said, and Tao and Alec obediently stopped. "I got movement."
    A low snarl echoed through the room and a large wolf leapt out of one of the tunnels, thundering straight for Kris. Tao's gun popped and the wolf went down with a whine, sprawled out next to the water. There was a low bellow and another wolf jumped forward, dozens of them beginning to stream from the tunnels. 
    "Get behind me!" Alec ordered, brushing me back and loosing an arrow. It pierced though one wolf's neck and appeared out the wolf's back, dropping it in its tracks.   
    Tao was firing rapidly, holstering his gun when he emptied the magazine and pulling a set of dual swords from the sheath on his back. He became a blur from then on, slicing wolves in half. I was paralyzed with fear, praying none of the lupine bodies around me were Ravi's. Kris pulled a rifle from his back and was picking off the wolves at the back of the pack.
    After a few minutes of fighting, the wolves retreated back into the tunnels and we paused for a few minutes, turning to look warily behind us. Tao sheathe
