After a few steps, the other two racers arrived. The first one to arrive questioned, "What is this gathering in the middle of the woods? I thought... Nevermind." (He turned to leave, and the other also joined in leaving.)
The alpha from inside shouted, "Don't let them escape."
Seojun sighed, "Really? Why am I even surprised?" (The other four pursued them on foot.) "Well, I'm here to inform you that I'm leaving the pack. You said you could protect me and my family, but to be sincere, you are the only threat we need protection from."
The alpha replied, "Since you know them, why leave?"
Seojun explained, "Because of your plans. I can't be part of it, and I will save those two."
The alpha challenged, "Let me see you try." (Seojun ran after them.)
But the four betas already reached the two racers.
Ji-ho, one of the betas, suggested, "Dong-woo, how should we dispose of these two? Should we skin them alive, or should we make it swift and painless?" (He moved closer to one of them, pointing his sharp and long fingers at his throat. The racer backed off.)
Min-seok suggested, "Why don't we just devour them alive? That's more thrilling."
Ji-ho agreed, "It's been a while since we've savored a live meal." (The other racer, contemplating "alive, eaten alive.")
Dong-woo decided, "Let's just make it quick before the alpha gets impatient." (He raised his claws to cut the racer's throat, just then Seojun arrived.)
Seojun challenged, "What's the rush? There's plenty of time for this."
Jun-ho questioned, "Seojun, why are you here? I thought you called for the meeting."
Seojun replied, "Well, it concluded sooner than expected."
Dong-woo agreed, "Okay, fine. Let's just eliminate these two troublemakers; the alpha has ordered it."
Seojun stood firm, "If you desire their lives so fervently, you'll have to go through me."
Ji-ho scoffed, "You may be a Delta, but you can't take on the four of us together. Even some alphas can't."
Seojun retorted, "All you do is talk. Just accept it already." (The fight ensued. Seojun defended against their assaults, but he struggled to keep up. The betas gained the upper hand while he fought. The other racer, horrified by the scene, simply sat in shock.)
A minute later, the alpha arrived.
The alpha commanded, "Dong-woo, leave him to me. Go and fabricate a story about his accident and take care of these two." (The alpha killed them, then Dong-woo and the other beta returned to their cars.) (The omegas staged the scene to appear as serious accidents.)
