Hello! This is a new story that I wrote to fill a prompt on GKM. I hope you enjoy, and ignore the bad grammar I don't have a beta.

Living in Lima, Ohio for Kurt was a monotonous life. He went to school and then would go home. The only thing that was interesting about his life was that he got profusely bullied at school and sometimes around the town. You see, Kurt was not just an ordinary citizen of Lima. He was different in the sense that he just did not fit in with the rest of the demographic. He got bullied by guys because he was not "manly" enough and acted "like a girl." While, girls could not accept him because, despite his flare in fashion, he was a guy.

Many of the people of Lima talked behind his back. Often gossiping about his weird aspirations, clothing choices, and sexuality. Kurt really had never formally came out of the closet, but everyone knew. Guys would often jeer at him because they were uncomfortable with him and his supposed predatory sexuality. Girls avoided him because he was a sinner. The only semblance Kurt had of acceptance was from his father, Burt. Although, when Burt started dating Carole Hudson they seemed to drift apart, for a while. Kurt felt betrayed that not only his father was dating without even telling him, at first, but that whom he was dating was the mother of Finn Hudson.

Finn Hudson was the star Quarterback of the McKinley High's football team. Which meant he was the head of the hierarchy of the school; the leader of the meathead jocks that often bullied him. While, Finn never actually physically or mentally bullied, or even acknowledged that Kurt existed, he stood by and let others assault him. Least to say, he was not high on Kurt's list of loved ones. But, it all changed when Burt and Carole got married.

Now that the Hummel family doubled size and included high school royalty less people openly judged and ridiculed Kurt's oddities. Don't get me wrong it wasn't all unicorns and rainbows, there was still bullying, but life was better. Kurt had a distinctive family and a group of friends. All of his friends were in the school's glee club and somehow or another they all understood each other to an extent because they were the misfits of the school. There was even people in the popular crowd that was a part of their small group because they all seemed beyond the backwards town of Lima.

Today was like any other day in glee club. Everyone was either competitively singing or jabbering amongst each other. But, today was also different. It was different because all the girls started excitingly talking about the upcoming mating race. These races happened annually during the full moon night. Normally people in Lima would not normally talk about the werewolf pack that lived in the woods and were basically secluded to themselves. But, around this time of year people would often chatter about whom was going to participate and their optimistic belief of soul mates.

These races were established for young werewolves to have a fair opportunity to find their wolf mate and bond. Most participants were members of the pack themselves. However, the races are not exclusive to werewolves; humans are fair game too. Some people willingly signed up to be a part of the races in hopes of finding their soul mate. Personally Kurt never bothered to even gossip about the races with his girlfriends—Mercedes, Quinn, Tina, and Brittany—because he did not believe in soul mates. Honestly, Kurt just did not understand how people willing volunteer for such things let alone get picked as a wolf mate and be happy about it.

While Rachael was rudely harping on about being a star, having the best voice in the club, and deserving all the solos, people were ignoring her to chat amongst themselves. Kurt was merely listening to Mercedes, Tina, Quinn, and Brittany talking about the approaching races.

"I signed up because I have feeling that I'm going to find the one." Tina said.

"Lord Tubbington observed that the astronomically alignment was in my favor of growing a magically mushroom," Brittany spouted off.

"I don't know about astronomical mumbo jumbo, but I'm willing to try with all the past hype of the successes of the race." Mercedes admitted.

Kurt couldn't believe what he had heard. All of his girlfriends were going to participate in the mating race. Even, Quinn was saying she wanted to experience it at least once; so much for her saying that she was taking a break from boy troubles. It seemed like everyone in this town was obsessed with the idea of "finding" their soul mate in what is equivalent to a barbaric hunt where people can get sexually assaulted. There was no way in heck Kurt was going to willingly participate, they couldn't force him.

However, unbeknownst to Kurt—due to his lack in interest in the mating races—he was unaware that wolves scented their wolf mates to determine their soul mate; which meant they could "request" certain humans to participate in the race so that they could claim them as their mate.
