Title: Unbreakable Bonds

Rating: NC-17/R (PG-13 this chapter)

Author's Note: My apologies for not updating regularly like I usually do. I try to write chapters in advance, but this story is giving me severe writer's block. Add work (and the fucking snow) on top of it, it's getting really hard to update and get where I want to get this story. But, I'm going to just keep trying. So, if chapter 7 (which is where I'm currently stuck) doesn't get there for a while, I'm sorry.

Chapter 4

"No," Brittany cried out. But it was too late, Santana was gone.

"I'm sorry," Rachel apologized.

"It's not your fault, but I have to go after her." Brittany quickly stripped off her clothes and began to change forms. Once she finished, the white wolf jumped out the window and after her mate.

Rachel whimpered. "What wrong," Quinn asked her. Rachel just whimpered again. Quinn sighed; she knew where this was going. "You want to go look for her too, right?" The brown wolf snorted an affirmative. The blonde sighed again, but stripped and changed to follow their alpha.

Rachel caught both Brittany's and Santana's scents quickly and ran after them. They led to the woods, where the white wolf managed to catch up to her dark brown mate.

"S, please stop," Brittany begged. But, Santana just growled back at her and continued to run.

Rachel and Quinn kept a safe distance away from Brittany, who continued to chase after Santana. The dark brown wolf just ran, uncaring about her white wolf mate that was following her. Santana was being very selfish and Brittany wasn't paying attention to anything other than her lover. So, when the white wolf reached the dirt road by the camp grounds in the woods, she didn't see the SUV driving down that road.

But, Rachel and Quinn did.

"Brittany," Rachel yelled as she ran to push the alpha out of the way. It was then that Brittany stopped and saw the brown wolf running towards her and the car rushing towards them. Rachel bumped Brittany to try to get her out of the way, but she wasn't fast enough. The SUV hit them both, sending them flying through the air. Wind rushed around them as Rachel landed roughly on the cold ground, and Brittany was pushed by the force into tree. She let out a strangled cry as her right side hit the cold, hard bark and dropped onto its roots, blacking out.

Pain shot out through the psychic connection of the wolves. Quinn's breath was sucked from her as her mate's pain flooded through her body. The gray wolf quickly ran to Rachel. She was still conscious, but barely. She then ran to Brittany. The white wolf was unconscious, being hit pretty hard by the car and the tree. She quickly did the only thing she could think of; she called for Lucas.

"Lucas, help. Brittany and Rachel were just hit by a car in the woods. We're by the camp ground."

"How bad is it," Lucas asked.

"Brittany's unconscious. Rachel's…oh God…she's changing back to human. And the driver's getting out of the car now."

"Sit tight. I'm heading over there now with help. But, whatever you do, don't let the driver leave. It could mean exposure for us all."

Santana didn't know what hit her. Out of nowhere a horrible pain took her breath away and forced her to drop to the ground. The pain lasted only a few moments, but the dark brown wolf had no idea where it came from. And then she realized that she couldn't hear Brittany's footsteps behind her anymore. She suddenly knew where the pain came from; it came from Brittany. The Latina doubled back as quickly as she could.

"Oh shit," the driver of the SUV slurred as he exited his vehicle. "What did I hit? A wolf and a…naked girl?" He walked over to where Rachel was and Quinn growled at him and ran towards her mate. He chuckled. "Easy fella." He picked up a stick and threw it. "Come on, fetch." Quinn growled again. "Come on, she's a pretty little thing. I know it's wrong, but I'm so tempted to have my way with her before taking her to the hospital." Quinn only growled louder. The man jumped when a second growl came from behind him.

"Don't let him leave, San," Quinn told her.

"He hurt them?"

"They got hit by his car while they were chasing after you. My mate tried to push yours out of the way, and they both got hit. If she dies, I'm going to kill you."

Santana whimpered. She really didn't think about the consequences of her actions. "How bad are they," she asked.

"Brittany's been unconscious since she got hit and hit the tree. Rachel was conscious enough to change forms to start the healing process, but she used too much energy to do that and now she's unconscious too. Lucas is on his way."

Both wolves turn their heads at the sound of two cars pulling up. Lucas wasted no time getting out of his car.

"Quinn, Santana," he addressed the wolves. "This him?" Quinn snorted. The blonde man turned to look at the drunk driver and sighed. He knew what needed to be done. "Thomas," he called to the other driver. "They're over here."

Out of the car stepped another werewolf council leader, Dr. Thomas Samson. He was the pack's go to guy for any medical issue. He quickly walked over to the unconscious white wolf and looked her over. He then did the same with Rachel.

"I need you two to change back," the doctor informed Quinn and Santana as he lifted the brunette's body. "I need to know what they're feeling."

Lucas snapped the driver's neck as the two girls changed forms. He knew that he had to destroy all evidence of their exposure and make the accident look like a hit and run. He hurried to move the driver's body so he could burn it and bury it in a safe location. He trusted that Dr. Samson would do everything he could for his daughter, and Rachel, and that Quinn and Santana would do whatever it takes to save their mates.

"Are they in pain," the doctor asked the girls once they finished their transformation. Quinn shook her head while Santana answered aloud.

"No."

"I pushed the seats down in the car. Go sit by your mate," he ordered Quinn. Turning to Santana, he exhaled. "This is going to hurt her, but she needs to be in human form to get to the hospital. They're going to need surgery." He pulled out a small purplish herb and put it in Brittany's mouth.

"What is that," Santana inquired.

"Wolfsbane. It's poisonous and lethal in large doses, but it's the only thing that can force a transformation from wolf form to human." Santana whimpered as the she felt the pain of Brittany's transformation. "That's the biggest side effect. It hurts because it's the wolf kryptonite. They can't ingest the stuff. It'll be over soon." Once Brittany was human, he put the blonde into his SUV and he and Santana climbed in and drove off to the hospital.

Stephanie met them at the hospital with a change of clothes for Quinn and Santana and some blankets to wrap Rachel and Brittany in. The two unconscious werewolves where taken away with Dr. Samson to be examined as the rest of them waited for any news.

After about an hour Dr. Samson came back out. "We're prepping them both for surgery. They both are in a coma and have a bit of internal bleeding stemming from their stomach areas. Brittany's spleen is ruptured and that's very dangerous. We're doing what we can, but unless they wake up in a few days and can change, it doesn't look good for either one of them. I have to get back in there, but I'll come back out once they're out of surgery."

Stephanie's head fell into her hands as she began to cry. Santana watched the mother of her love, cry and could barely hold back her own tears. She then looked over at Quinn, whose face held a mixture of pain, worry, and fury. She dropped her gaze from Quinn's, but the blonde wasn't done with her. Grabbing the Latina's arm, Quinn pulled Santana into the bathroom.

"This is your fault," Quinn excused. "If you could just control yourself for a little while Coach Sylvester wouldn't have called us out on being wolves and the Cheerios wouldn't be so suspicious. Then, you wouldn't have stupidly challenged Rachel and ran away. Brittany got hit because she was chasing after you! Rachel followed out of concern for Brittany and for you! Rachel got hit trying to help your mate. And if she…" Quinn couldn't finish her sentence. It hurt too much to imagine losing her mate.

Santana quickly pulled Quinn into a hug and tried to shush her as her own tears came flowing down her face. "I know. I fucked up. But, they'll pull through. They have to. I'm sorry, and I promise to fix this any way I can. For both of them, Quinn. I'll fix this for both of them."

"How?"

"I don't know. But, I'm going to try my damnest to control my wolf. You're right. Coach is right. Brittany's right. Hell, even Berry's, I mean, Rachel's right. I have been reckless. I liked having these extra advantages, as Coach called them. I think it's cool to be able to do what we can do. But, it has a price. I can't lose Brittany. I did this for Brittany. For us. I mean, yeah, some of it was just for me, but I'd give it all up for her. I love her, more than anything in this world. I know you get that."

"I do. Because I feel the same way about Rachel."

"I know. I remember calling you out on that not too long ago."

"Yeah, back when I was just bitten and you were still human. You made me see that she mattered most to me."

"I was jealous. You were going to be a werewolf and B was just so stubborn about biting me. I had to try to force her wolf out before she willingly gave me her blood. She was so sweet when she did that. I need her."

"It hurts to be away from her, just like I hurt without Rachel. Sometimes this psychic connection is just too much. It hurts to need her so much. I'm so scared, S."

"I'm scared too. What if they don't make it? I don't think I could take it."

"I know the feeling. You help me and I'll help you?"

"Sounds like a plan. Quinn, I am sorry for all this."

"I know you are. Come on, we should get back to the waiting room. Stephanie might start to worry."
