AN: Sorry for the late update, I hit a stump writing this part. Reviews, favorites, and watches are loved. Thanks.


The next morning, Blaine was the first to wake up he; rose silently stretching out his sore muscles from sitting on the ground. He glanced around at his pack mates, Mike being the closest one to him - Santana not too far away. It's the way they'd slept since they were pups. Quinn had an arm wrapped loosely around Rachel's waist where they slept not far from Emma, who was sleeping on a blanket.

Blaine frowned when he couldn't see David or Azimio anywhere. Blaine couldn't help but pause when something near the tree line caught his eye. The two bigger boys were both sleeping there in wolf form, having moved away from the pack sometime during the night. "Which," Blaine muttered sneaking away from the pack and into the forest, "is better than them hunting more of the town's live stock." He quickly took off his pants tying them to a branch before, crack, he changed into wolf form.

Running freely, he jumped onto fallen trees, walking across them before following the scent of David and Azimio to the town. Blaine was wondering if it was too early for Kurt to be up, before deciding this would be around the time the woodcutters went to work. If he remembered correctly, Kurt's dad was one, so Kurt would be seeing him away to work now.

Soon Blaine was waiting in the in the forest behind the house that smelled the most like Kurt. Not very long after he heard the voices inside the house move out and further away as Kurt and his father left. Blaine's ears perked up at the sound of Kurt's voice, tuning into their conversation.

"Dad I'll be fine. I'll just be baking for most of the day, and looking after the twins when Sam goes to work later." Kurt explained, walking down the porch steps to stand by his father.

"I know, I know. I just worry. I love you." Burt gave his son a one armed hug and a kiss on his forehead. He hiked his axe up onto his shoulder, starting to walk to work.

Kurt gave his dad a smile, glancing around the forest by their house. He took a step back in shock. "Is that?" Kurt started to say before shaking his head - what ever he thought he saw gone.

"Kurt, what was that all about?" Burt asked, about to come over and made a shooing motion with his hands.

"It was nothing dad. I love you too." Kurt smiled at his father, who seemed not to notice if it was slightly strained, before hurrying into the house when Burt started on his way down the path.

Blaine let out a low whine, before turning around and running back the way he came.

As soon as Blaine reached the edge of the clearing he changed back. He ran into the field by the cave where the pack was staying. Noticing that everyone was up and about, he let out a happy greeting, "Hey guys!"

"Why are you so happy this early? Went to see your boy, did ya?" Santana asked leaning against a tree and smirking, her voice sounding slightly tired.

"I did." Blaine smiled as the image of Kurt flashed across his vision - he had been dressed impeccably this morning, wearing tight black pants and a crisp white shirt a bright red apron over it. The smile melted from Blaine's face though, as he sat down and put his head in his hands. "I think he might have seen me in wolf form though," he sighed.

"Are you sure?" Mike asked coming over to sit next to him. Bumping his shoulder against Blaine's, he flashed him a smile.

" He looked so worried." Blaine mumbled against his palms, letting a groan out against them.

"Maybe we could go into town as humans. See what he reaction would be if he saw you." Mike suggested looking up at Santana for back. She just shrugged, giving Blaine a glance before sighing.

"It would be weird if we just pop up in town from time to time. Everyone is so buddy-buddy they'll know we're not staying there. They'll know somethings up." Santana didn't want to burst his bubble, but being love-struck makes Blaine forget full. It's how people get hurt.

"What about if we stay in the inn?" Just as Mike finished talking, Blaine jumped up and ran over to where Emma spoke with an elevated tone to David and Azimio.

"Yes, Blaine, can I help you?" Emma asked looking over at him, a ghost of a smile on her face as she watched him bounce on his toes. David and Azimio took this chance to sneak away from Emma and her scolding yet again about the chickens.

"I was wondering if Mike, Santana, and I could stay at the inn? I would like to be closer to my mate without being in wolf form. Plus Santana said the town will start talking if no one knows where we're staying." Blaine smiled brightly hoping to win Emma over yet again with his dapper charm.

"I guess so. But be careful and check back here with us so I know you're okay." Emma wasn't prepared for the tight hug she was received. Blaine left her with a look of horror on her face, muttering about germs, as he ran over to tell Mike and Santana the news.

"Guys! We can stay in the inn now go pack your stuff." Blaine hurried over to his things, packing them back into his old looking brown bag . He pulled on a shirt and put on some shoes. It would be too risky to change close to the town, it would be best to walk there as humans.

Meanwhile, a cow lay slaughtered a mile away near the village's farm. Two sets of bloodied paw prints leading away from it into the woods.
