A/n: okay this took awhile and im sorry I've been really lazy lately hope you like it though it's a bit longer than my other posts kinda angsty but i'm still writing more as we speak so don't worry it won't last very long i'm just trying to work both quinn and brittany into the relationship smoothly anyways enough of the talk enjoy and review ;)
It took a while to calm Santana down but Rachel finally got her pack leader to stop crying. She didn't know how to comfort her because she has never seen Santana so broken before. She has always been a leader and a mighty good one at that. Santana has helped break up internal fights between pack members and fighting off other packs that have tried to take over their territory. It's so foreign see someone so strong so, weak.
"Rose, I know this must be really hard for you-"
"No Rae you don't know," Santana responded with no fight left in her voice, "You don't know what it feels like to lose someone you love with every fiber of your being. Someone you would give the entire world to just because it would make them smile. You don't know and you never will because you already found you soul mate. Do you know what's worse?"
Santana laughed taking herself out of Rachel comforting arms and standing up.
"I fight with myself for feeling like this because I still have Brittany. I've always had Brittany and I loved her for as long as I can remember but now, it feels like her isn't enough. I feel like such a horrible person for saying that because she's Britt. She's always been enough, more than enough."
"Santana, this isn't your fault. You and everyone else for that matter, knows how much you love Brittany. You'd give your life for her in a heartbeat but this isn't something you can control. Just because you love Quinn doesn't mean you love Brittany any less." Rachel tried to explain.
"Yeah, that all sounds nice but how am I going to explain to my girlfriend that even though she has always been the and the moon to me I still feel like something is missing." Rachel was going to respond when Coach came into the bathroom.
"Sandbags, Midget! I can sense that you have been talking about something intense and as much as feelings disgust me and I'd like to exit this bathroom full of weak emotions, Matt has just finished his transfer and we need to have a meeting. In my office now, alert the rest of the pack strawberry shortcake you all will need to talk when we are finished, Boobs Magee follow me." With that Coach Sylvester walked out of the bathroom with Santana and Rachel in tow.
"Don't worry Rose you're strong I know you can get through this. Remember we will always be here for you." Rachel projected as she walked the opposite way down the hall.
The walk was short and Matt was already seated in one of the chairs in from the the cheer leading Coach's desk. Santana and Sue took a seat and began going over what would happen until the rogue wolf was caught.
"Look from now on when will have groups patrolling continuously every day instead of just nightly shifts."
"How are we going to-"
"I have changed all of your pack member's time tables. You have different free periods and in those times you will patrol the woods, the residential areas, the popular hang outs, as well as the outskirts of Lima." Sue cut in before Santana could voice her objection.
"How many people have free periods at the same time? Because although Lima is a very small town that is still a lot of land to cover in one class period." Santana spoke up.
"Only two, that way there are people who can patrol during each period. I don't give a damn how you get it all down but by the end of the school day all of Lima better have been checked. Section it off how you like but make it happen. I don't want to hear any complaints; this is your responsibility pup. If you are to become pack master you must take care of this and it must be taken care of quickly.
Santana internal groaned but didn't dare let Sue see her displeasure. She nodded her head and took the new time tables for herself and her pack. Sue dismissed Matt and Santana to let them explain to the rest of the pack of their new duties. Santana immediately walked to the choir room because she was sure that's where Rachel would have told everyone to assemble.
"Matt I- I know we were never really that close but I am so sorry about your brother." Santana finally broke the silence as they continued their walk to the choir room.
"Thank you and it's okay. I was only really close to Mike when I used to go here." Matt answered sadly.
"We're going to get this scumbag Matt. And I promise he will pay for what he has done." Santana said strongly. She hated when her friends and pack members were hurting and whether or not Matt was only in her pack until this ordeal was over she would always consider him family. Just like all of her other pack mates. They turned into the choir room and were greeted with the pack and a few unexpected faces.
"Brittany, Tina what are you doing here?" Santana asked surprised smiling at them both while glaring at Rachel and Mike.
"Well I saw Rachel talking to everyone in the pack so I thought I'd tag along because I didn't see you at our lockers after first period." Brittany said walking over and wrapping her arms around the smaller girl's neck.
"I know I'm sorry Britt but this is kind of a private meeting." Santana tried to whisper, her eyes comically wide at Brittany mention of the pack in front of Tina.
Santana knew that Mike and Tina were a couple but Mike hadn't started talking to Tina about what he really was yet. At least not to her knowledge.
"Rose can I speak to you really quick?" Mike jumped in.
"Uh sure, Britt I'll be right back." Santana said walking out of the room with Mike right behind her.
"What the hell is Tina doing here! Brittany can be here because she knows about us but Tina has no idea I know that she's your mate but you can't have her around meetings between the pack when she has no fucking clue about us. "Santana seethed.
"She knows." Was all Mike said.
"What?"
"I didn't know how to tell her before so I was waiting but after everything that was happening with you and Quinn and I decided to bite the bullet and tell her because I felt like I was lying to her and I could deal with it anymore." Mike finished explaining.
A flash of hurt spread across Santana's face at the mention of her situation being the reason Mike decided to "come out" to Tina. Mike saw it and felt horrible.
"Rose I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that."
"No it's fine. I'm glad you finally told her. How is she taking it?" Santana deflected desperately needing to change the subject.
"She's Tina so she thought it was cool, after the initial shock. She didn't believe me in the slightest but when I showed her she didn't faint or anything. She actually walked up to me first and started petting me. It was pretty damn cool to be honest." Mike said reveling in the fond memory.
"Well I'm glad turned out well. It had to be hard to be in wolf form in front of her like that. Why didn't you ask me for help, you know I would have been there for you" Santana asked.
"I know Rose you always are but I thought it would be too soon. I didn't want to put you in that position and if It had gone badly I would have preferred to be alone. And you know that I've Tina was my mate for a long time now. I just didn't want to drag her into everything just yet. I've had time to control my wolf around her for a while so it wasn't that bad."
"Well, is she going to accept the change?"
"Yeah," Mike said smiling," she said she loves me and wants to be with me for the rest of her life. And she said she thought being a werewolf would be pretty cool too." They both laughed and embraced.
"I'm happy for you Mike." Santana said ending their hug.
They walked back into the choir room and Santana hugged Tina which shocked both of them. Santana's never been the hands on type but she guesses it was just because of how choose to home the situation was. Mike and Santana were the only ones in the pack who knew that their mates were human and the possibility of being rejected is far higher than being linked to another werewolf. She winked at Tina and whispered something before walking back into the middle of the room.
"Okay, now we have some new duties to tend to. We all have a new schedule because we will start patrolling during school to find this rouge wolf. Coach has changed all of our time tables and I have them in my hand now." Santana said handing the papers over to Kurt to hand out.
"Everyone will have one partner that has the same free period and that is who they will patrol with. We will have to cover all of Lima before the end of the school day so no slacking and no skipping school. I know there is a lot of land to cover so Rachel and I will section if off so each pair has a designated section to cover. Once we are finished with that, you will all find a spot of your own choosing to meet up and begin your shift. Understood?"
They all agreed although many of them were not happy about the new schedules.
"Rachel grab a piece of paper, everyone else pair up with your partner I knew to know who will be out and during what period." Santana ordered. Brittany and Tina all stood to the side watching the pack members obeying Santana's orders.
First period was Sam and Finn. Rachel was a tad bit upset that she could be with her mate seeing as they both had first period together but she smiled as she recorded the information. Next was Mike and Matt which was a perfect match since both of them missed each other dearly. Another happy pairing was Kurt and Puck for the period. Santana wasn't too sure if it would be smart for them to patrol together seeing as they were a new couple but she didn't say anything. The last pairing was Rachel and Santana which was fine by both wolves. Santana knew Rachel took her missions seriously and Rachel wanted to finish talking to Santana about Quinn and Brittany.
"The schedules are in affect now so Kurt and Puck you two need to get ready to go since it's close to the end of the period now." The boys nodded getting up ready to leave the room when Santana spoke again.
"Wait, I have one more thing to say." Santana stopped everyone from leaving the room."
"Tina can you come here please." Santana asked in a softer tone than Tina has every heard before. "Soon we will have a new pack member again. I don't know if Mike has told any of you already but he has just told Tina about us. Tina I want you to know that we are all happy to have you as a new member. We treat of pack mate like family because once we make that sacred bond it connects us as such. If you have any questions or concerns you can come to any of us for help, we are all willing to assist you in this transition." Santana stated.
"Thanks Santana." Tina was ecstatic about this little speech. Although Santana has been easier to get along with since nationals she still was a bit wary when Mike said Santana was his pack leader.
"Do you guys know when you will complete the bond?" Santana directed to Mike and Tina.
"Well, I wanted to talk to you about this before we went through with anything but whenever Tina is ready." Mike said turning to Tina.
"I want to do it now. I mean Mike told me how long he's been waiting and I don't see the need in prolonging it anymore. I know I love him so whenever he wants to change me is good with me." Tina said smiling the whole time.
"Wait, you're going to let him bite you?" Brittany asked shocked at the conversation that was taking place.
"Well yeah it promised he wouldn't hurt me and I trust him." Tina said taking Mike's hand.
"But you haven't seen how much pain you're going to be in when you change. It's horrible. It's looks like you're in so much pain and the sound of your bones snapping is-"
"Brittany, enough." Santana said sternly looking at her mate. Tina started to look a nervous about the change with the way Brittany was describing it. "Tina, I won't lie to you, the first change is difficult. It hurts hell but once it's over that's it. After that, turning is as easy as breathing. And we will all be there for you during your first change so there is nothing to worry about."
This seemed to calm the girl down and she shook her head in understanding. You can't have something amazing without some type of pain involved so she accepted it pretty well. Santana told everyone that they could go on about their business and they all went on their separate ways.
"Brittany, can I talk to you for a minute?" Santana said with a hint of anger in her voice as they walked into the hallway.
"Yeah, what's up?"
"What were you thinking when you said that to Tina?"
"Well I was just telling her what it's like-"
"You don't know what it's like. I know you saw what happened to Puck but you don't know what it's like to change. You were scaring her for Christ's sake!"
"Well she should be scared! She is only looking at how cool it would be and not how much pain she's going to be in. She's looking at it like it so simple and easy."
"She's looking at it like you look at most things. How can you judge her for looking at this as something beautiful when that's you look at the world? When did you stop thinking like that?"
"When my girlfriend decided she loved somebody else!" Brittany yelled in the hallway causing the kids who were in the hallway started to stare.
Santana was shocked and for the life of her didn't know what to say. She knew how hard this situation was for herself but as much as she mentioned Brittany she didn't know her true feelings towards it. Brittany came back to her, so she didn't think it could be affecting her that badly. Brittany was surprised at her outburst too. She didn't mean to just yell at her girlfriend like that but this whole situation was killing her. She wanted to be Santana's everything and it sucks knowing that she isn't anymore.
"Britt, I- you know I love you I can't help that-"
"Yeah you can't help that you love Quinn but that doesn't make this any easier for me Santana. I know that I want to work this out and I know that I love you but this is hard, okay." Brittany said lowly with her eyes on the ground. Santana moved in to hug her but Brittany backed away.
"I have to get to class." Brittany started to walk away but turned back around.
"You have gym right now." Was all Santana said before she turned to walk down the hall.
There was about ten minutes left of second period so Santana didn't need to go but something inside her was pulling her towards the room. When she got there she heard yelling in the classroom. Apparently they had a sub today who left the room for something and Quinn and Karofsky were going at it. Santana ran in the room only to catch the end of Dave's sentence.
"-you're just a stupid slut!" Dave yelled at Quinn. Quinn had, had enough of this meatheads dumbass remarks and threw her book at him.
Dave jumped out of his seat as if he was going to attack Quinn and that's when Santana saw red. Quinn may not want to be with her but there was no way she was going to let this jackass hurt her mate. She ran up to him and pushed him back in his seat.
"You better watch who you're talking to douchebag because I have no problem going all Lima heights on you ignorant ass." Santana growled, her eyes glowing a fiery orange.
Dave tried to stand his ground but because Santana was an alpha he had no choice but to concede. He actually whimpered and bowed his head. It low enough so no one but Santana could hear but even though she turned around victorious and took her seat next to Quinn.
"Are you okay?" The tan girl asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine, he was just being an ass. Thanks." Quinn answered looking at her desk.
"You know that everything he said is a load of bullshit, Q. You're amazing and nothing that dickhead can say will ever change that. Try not to let him get to you." Santana said hesitantly placing her hand over Quinn's. "And if he ever says anything to you again I promise I will personally take care of it."
"He's twice you're size Santana, don't do that. I don't want you to get hurt. He won't say anything so just leave it alone okay." Quinn said harshly but Santana couldn't help but smile.
"What are you smiling at?"
"Nothing, it's just nice to know you still care about me even if you can't- you know. Deal with everything else."
"What are you talking about?"
"You said you don't want me to get hurt. I just makes me happy to know that you care about me." Santana leaned in to whisper in Quinn's ear. "I guess you forgot that I can turn into a gigantic wolf, but still you concern is appreciated." Santana said giggling.
Quinn's breath hitched when Santana moved into her personal space and it was hard to pay attention to whatever the darker girl was saying but she got the jest of it. Quinn had actually forgotten about what was going on with her and Santana at the moment when she came into the classroom like her knight in shining armor. It was cute and kind of romantic how just when she needed her Santana was there. Quinn smiled and actually held Santana's hand before the bell rang and took her out of her haze. Realizing their proximity Quinn quickly got her bags and rushed to get out of the room. Santana followed behind her and grabbed her wrist gently before Quinn could get away.
"Quinn I know this is scary and it's very ideal but I need you in my life. I promise I'd never hurt you. Please just give this a chance." Santana was begging now in all sense of the word.
"Santana I lo-" Quinn stopped once her eyes caught the gaze of blue orbs. She was frozen in place and Santana just looked over her shoulder to see who Quinn was staring at.
"I have to go." Quinn said causing Santana to break away from Brittany's form and look back towards. Quinn.
"Please Q, we can work this out all of us." Santana pleaded.
Quinn simple withdrew her hand from Santana's and shook her head. Santana watched her leave for what seemed like the thousandth time when her mind turned back towards Brittany. When her eyes went back to her girlfriend she could tell Brittany was hurt. Santana didn't know what to do. She wanted to chase after Quinn to tell her that things could work out but after that outburst Brittany had only ten minutes ago she was stuck. If she went one way it was like she was choosing who she loved more. Santana couldn't do that so instead she ran off out of school and towards the football field.
"I really can't believe this is happening to me." Kurt said as he and Puck checked out all the "hot spots" in Lima.
"What do you mean? I thought you had to patrol a lot." Puck asked slightly confused.
"No, not this. I'm talking about us. I never thought I was going to find my mate so soon because I could never see his face, hell I didn't even know what he looked like as a wolf and it turns out to be you." Puck wasn't sure how to take this and looked a little hurt by Kurt's statement.
"Oh, Puck it's not a bad thing. I just never thought you would be my mate because, I mean, I thought you were straight for starters."
"I like what I like. The whole girl or guy thing never fazed me. I mean I never had a problem with it. I only acted the way I did because of where we live, you know. But I've been with guys before, it's pretty good actually." Puck explained.
"Wow so you've actual had sex with another guy before." Kurt asked not sure if he should feel good about this or angry that someone else has been with his man.
"Yeah, not a lot but I've had like two or three guys under my belt." Puck said. "It's no big deal."
"It is to me." Kurt mumbled, his jealousy showing.
"I never had any feelings for them if that makes you feel better. To be honest here, the only guy I actually had feelings for was you."
"Really?" Kurt asked extremely skeptical.
"Yeah. I know I prolly didn't show it very much but you are a cool dude. I'm not the emotionally type so I didn't know how to show that. I'm sorry for the way I used to treat you. I really do care about you. Even before I got turned, I always wanted to be cool with you. That's why I was nicer you know. I don't know, you might not have seen it but I was attracted to you. I mean all those tight pants that show off your ass are kind of hard to ignore. And when you sing, I'm just speechless."
"Wow, I never would have thought that."
"Yeah, I'm pretty good and hiding stuff. That's how I never get caught stealing. Well for the most part." Puck laughed but Kurt was still moved by what Puck had revealed to him.
Kurt knew that when you found your mate they could still reject you even if they felt the same bond. It was never a sure thing and with Kurt being who he was he was sure Puck reject him. When wolfs find out their mate is someone of the same sex unless they were always like that it can be a serious shock. Most of the time it doesn't end well, but Kurt was one of the lucky few.
"Can I kiss you?" Kurt blurted out without thinking. He started turning red and wanted to take the statement back when a pair of lips his.
"I know this may seem weird, trust me I got the feeling when I found out that you were my soul mate but I like it. I love you and it may just be this werewolf stuff right now but the feelings have been there before. Now I just get to let them out." Puck said while held onto Kurt's hips.
In that moment Kurt couldn't have been happier. He got to be with his boyfriend in public. Since they were checking out all of the normal hangout spots they couldn't change into wolf form and it had to be the best thing ever. They were like a normal couple just walking and enjoying their day. Kurt has been waiting forever for something like this to happen to him and with Noah saying all of the right things he couldn't have asked for a better person to share this with.
"C'mon we need to finish this before 3rd period ends and I need something to eat soon." Puck said, placing his hand in Kurt's and tugging him along the sidewalk.
I hope the puckurt was okay I've never written them before so it's kind of new for me but they are one of my favorite couples I hope it doesn't seem rushed but with the emotions from Puck turning everything is heightened so yeah tell me what you think and if there's anything you'd like to see I'm still writing so if i can work it in you might see it in the next update
