Two months had passed and they were clearing out a quarry full of the undead, Daryl was on his bike leading away the dead. He was happy to be helping their pack, Sasha and Abraham were in the car beside him.

It was going well, thankfully.

Daryl was busy thinking hard about the future of Alexandria and his family; the wolves were the only threat they were aware of. Aarron and Daryl had come across them in their search for more people, which wasn't exactly ideal. Thankfully Daryl was on blockers then, or he would have become a bigger target.

While they were riding Daryl heard the sound of a horn, half the undead went off course.

"That sounds like home!" Daryl whined.

"We can't turn and you know it honey," Sasha yelled to him through the car. "The pack will protect the pups."

Daryl whined a bit but kept on the path. He knew better, if Rick knew he ran he was going to kill him.

Rick and the ones on the ground were busy fighting them off Michonne and Glenn were running with a small bit of their pack. Glenn and Nicholas were running together to attempt to build up a flame, to get the undead to come towards that and not the sound of the loud horn.

Daryl whined again knowing very well his pups were back there and wanted to go.

He didn't want to lose any more.

The pack was strong, but many of the original Alexandrians were slaughtered in the fight with the wolves. It was a slaughter, but thankfully none of Rick's pack was harmed. Maggie and Aaron were protecting Judit and Sam, Eric was pacing in the home terrified for them.

However it was clear to the pack their duty was the protect the young pups and wait for the rest of their pack and prime to return.

A few of the wolves escaped but Rick took quick work of them, however it was a huge concern to him that the undead were not following what they were supposed to anymore and were following the airhorn.

Deanna was terrified, she didn't realize what the world was really like until she witnessed all the slaughter. Carol was pacing in front of their homes as the pups huddled together. Sam and Ron were sitting with Beth and Carl. No one could find Enid but they knew better, she always enjoyed being wherever people couldn't find her and they assumed she was okay. Mikey had been slaughtered however, and they knew it was going to upset Daryl but they didn't know what else to say to him, they knew it was out of their control. They had tried and failed to get him to safety, but he wasn't Judith, or Carl, or Beth so they knew while it was a problem it wasn't as bad as it could be.

Glenn and Nicholas were unsuccessful with the fire and were running from a large group of them, Glenn scurried under a garbage can after Nicholas decided he couldn't take it anymore and killed himself.

Glenn's scent was one of panic, but he had been smart enough to cover himself in the undeads blood to stop them from hunting him like prey.

As they continued their go Rick made it back to Alexandria but not without an injury and a large horde of the undead close behind. They got the gates closed up.

"Daryl come in come in!"

The line was dead, and Rick was terrified.

He should have never let him go, he should have never let it happen.

Daryl, Sasha, and Abraham were on the run from people shooting, but they didn't know why they were shooting. Daryl yelped as his bike slid blood pooled from his arm as he got the bike back up. His yelp was that special omega yelp, he hadn't meant it, but it caught him off guard and hurt like hell.

The ones in the cars stopped shooting at him and started following him.

Shit shit shit.

Daryl rode into the woods hoping to have caught them off his trail. He ran into the woods, his bike pretty much out of commission, Sasha and Abraham were running, they knew the people knew Daryl was omega and that was dangerous.

Daryl slowly made his way through the woods, his bow up, he only had two arrows, and the gun he had used was out of bullets now. He stopped as a gun was raised to his head, the women standing with the alpha that had the gun in his hands eyes were wide in surprise.

"Put the weapon down bud," the blonde snarled.

Daryl lowered it slowly. He was shaking, and just wanted to get back to his family and pups. "Dwight he isn't one of them, I can smell it."

Dwight, the man looked to his lady.

"You sure Sherry?" Dwight asked, biting his lip as he watched the man. "This alpha looks dangerous."

Daryl gave the women a look, he knew by the way she was looking at him she knew his placement. She placed her hand on her nose for just a moment to let him nose his ability to scent was shit.

"Promise Dwight, I can tell he isn't one of them."

Sherry loved Dwight but knew to keep Negan's favor he would most likely give the omega up as a peace offering. "I don't want no trouble," Daryl said keeping his bow low, "I just am trying not to get shot by those people that were following me."

"People following you? Oh no Dwight, they are coming for us." She whined pulling on her mate's arm. The beta female was watching him carefully.

"Who?" Daryl asked, biting his lip. He knew that those people knew he was omega.

"A group of people, ton's of them. Their prime is dangerous, we are just trying to get away. Come with us." Sherry pleaded, she wanted to keep this omega safe, it was part of her biology to protect omegas regardless of if they were packmates or not.

"No I can't, gotta get home, my pups."

Sherry thought hard and then made a motion with her hand Dwight didn't see because he wasn't paying attention to. She made a pregnant belly with her hand and Daryl nodded slightly. Her eyes growing even bigger, that confirmed it for her. Confirmed it for her to protect Daryl more than she had thought to before.

"Dwight we need to go, just get out of this area take him with us."

"What's your name?" Dwight asked.

"Daryl." Daryl replied, he felt like he could trust Sherry, had no clue with Dwight. Daryl followed them for a moment, this was good enough for him for now. "Why are you running from those people?"

"Well the alpha there, the prime. He has free reign to all of us, its a rule that's made when you join the pack. His last rut, it was terrifying. Took four different betas, and even three alphas to bed. I didn't want him with my mate, so we ran. They don't like it when you run, we become his property when we join, so when you run that makes it so you're taking his property."

"He..he uses pack law to rape his people?"

"It's not technically rape, when we join its part of the clause. It's honestly bullshit though, takes mated and unmated everything. Never seen a man take an alpha to bed though, it...it was horrible."

Daryl contemplated his next moves. "Has he taken a mate?"

"No, if he does I doubt he will touch anyone else. He is extremely territorial. Marks all of his properties, he's really wild."

"If he met an omega?"

"He would do everything in his power to take them for his own, do whatever he possibly could to take and own the omega."

Daryl bit his lip shaking, Sherry nodded to him softly letting him know it was true, that Daryl was in danger. "What would one do if they found an omega and wanted to give him to the prime?"

"You're asking a lot of questions about omegas for an alpha male. Is your mate omega? That how you have pups you're looking for?"

Daryl froze, Sherry bit her lip and then Dwight saw it, his mate mark.

"You're an omega! Sherry, this is our ticket to safety."

Daryl yelped and took off running. "Dwight you idiot!" Sherry yelled, hitting her mate before chasing after Daryl. Daryl scrambled away knowing only one of the two of them could actually scent him.

Abraham and Sasha were out of their minds, they lost Rick's mate, and they knew that the people who were shooting at them knew Daryl was omega.

Daryl came across a walker, he killed it quickly and covered himself in the blood to mask his scent. Sherry stood upright, losing track of his smell. "Shit. Dwight what did you do! An omega out here on his own, you're insane..."

"Sherry Negan would give us the best things if we brought one back."

"That is a living person, who already has pups. You want to rip a mother away from their pup for a pent house?"

"I want you safe!" Dwight growled. "Why didn't you tell me what he was!"

"I was nervous.. I knew this would be what you did. I knew it.. You're trying to do something you shouldn't be doing and you know it. He was hurt, so you just sent an injured omega out on his own terrified of us. We could have helped him, he clearly has people or he wouldn't be out here without his pups."

Dwight snarled, biting his lip, Daryl whimpered as he limped away. Those people were looking for him now too, it was hit scent that was making it worse for him, but he needed to find Abraham and Sasha right now. He slunk about nervous as hell, that was when he saw a vehicle came around.

"Where the hell is that omega! Negan will be out of his mind if we show him the omega, can you imagine the points he is going to give us for it."

"He wont be taking anyone else to bed if he's got a mate like that." Someone else chimed. Daryl growled slightly hearing them speak about him like property, he was no ones but Rick's. Sherry and Dwight appeared and lifted their hands.

"We were chasing the omega! There is one, we saw one."

"He's viable, said he had his own pups. That means hes a one percent, Negan..Negan would accept us back in with this information please let tell him ourselves."

Daryl froze, the beta threw him under the bus. He should have shot them. They agreed and allowed them back in, Daryl ran off in the opposite direction until he came to scent Abraham and Sasha.

"Oh thank god," Sasha said seeing him running, he was clearly alive despite the scent of death. He fell into Sasha's arms.

"They know..they know what I am.. Those people know... they know.." Daryl whined and sobbed into her. "They know I can have pups.."

Abraham snarled. "Don't worry, don't worry.. We won't let anyone touch you."

Daryl cried harder into Sasha, his own blood and the blood of the undead covering her as well. Abraham helped patch him up before they got into a vehicle. "I found lots of shit, bazookas and all sorts of things."

Daryl's eyes got big. "A bazooka! I could blow those fuckers up."

"Yes you could, we need Denise to check you over."

Negan smiled as he looked down at his people. "So you're telling me there is still an omega out there?" He smiled, placing the tip of his bat on the floor. "Well boys, it seems we have a new game, it's called find your prime that omega, whoever brings him to me, alive gets a real nice prize. Can be my second, who wants that hmm? Who wants to be daddy's little helper?"

Everyone was bustling, they were going to find Daryl for him, they honestly feared Negan, and Negan knew it. "Wonderful. That's what I thought."

Glenn whined when he saw Enid, how the hell did the pup get out here and why was she here with him? "Enid!"

She looked down, she helped lead him about the city. She normally hated people, but she only did it because she knew her 'mother' would want Glenn safe. She didn't know why she liked Daryl other than the fact he was omega, but she wanted to make him proud. She honestly couldn't decide if she should go back to Alexandria, if there was anything left of it.

Glenn and Enid walked together fighting the undead to get back to their people.

Everyone was on edge, they didn't know where Daryl was, and Rick was the worst. He was pacing and sobbing and wouldn't let Judith sit on the floor, he needed to know where Daryl was and he didn't have that right now.

All he had was a dead radio.
