Anyway I know it's been a while but I'm back. This update has some falopierce and Puckurt (because I have been neglecting them) as well as some needed pack stuff. I'll try to update more regularly. Anyway enjoy All mistakes are mine
Santana was beyond excited that both of her mates were finally going to try and work on this strange relationship that was thrust upon them. She didn't know what she would do if she couldn't be with them the way fate had planned. Seeing as this talk accomplished what she hoped for she expected the girls would want to go back home but Quinn had other plans.
"Brittany can I talk to you?" Quinn asked in a timid voice.
Santana wanted to show Brittany all of the cool stuff she had at the tree house, since she could tell the blonde was upset that she didn't know about it before. They were sitting in the "living room" when Quinn called for Brittany's attention. She turned her head and saw Quinn standing off to the side and assumed what she wanted to talk about she didn't want Santana to hear, so she got up and walked over to her.
"Yes?" Brittany answered a little confused about what Quinn wanted with her.
"Um, okay well I wanted to apologize again for my behavior recently. I know that everything that's been going on has caused a strain on us as friends. I know what I did was wrong and I want to try and fix it. Since we are trying to figure out how to be in a relationship with Santana instead of just friends I think, maybe we should spend more time together. You know because it's not just her that is going to be a part of this and it would be bette-" Quinn's rambling was cut short when Brittany decided to interject.
"Are you asking me out on a date?" Brittany asked with a slight smirk on her face.
Quinn flushed at the question. Brittany is known to be very blunt and to the point but Quinn was still taken aback.
"Uh well I-I guess I am. I mean this, whatever this is, isn't going to work if we all don't kinda like, date. And I totally understand if you're still pissed and don't wanna do this. I just thought it would be easier if we-"
"Okay." Brittany cut in again.
"Right, so maybe another time when you actually want to talk to me. We can do that and I'll..wait did you say yes?" Quinn asked stunned back into reality by Brittany's answer.
"I did." Brittany said.
Quinn was waiting for more of an explanation but from the look the taller blonde was giving her she didn't plan on continuing.
"Seriously?"
"Yes." Brittany answered again without anymore confirmation.
"But, why did you say yes so quickly. I thought you hated me?" Quinn continued still in shock.
"I don't hate you Quinn. I was pissed, angry but I don't hate you. Like you said if we plan on actually being with Santana like this we all have to find some common ground. This is never going to get easier just by ignoring it so it's better if we start now."
Quinn was at a loss. She knows that people think Brittany is absentminded but in this moment she thought they couldn't be more wrong. Brittany is smart in ways most people her age wouldn't be able to obtain until later on in life.
"But don't think that all is forgiven because I am still upset about the things you did. I don't hold grudges but it's going to take a lot for me to trust you again," Brittany said turning to leave.
Quinn just stood there as she watched Brittany stroll back over to Santana who was playing some game on the xbox like nothing happened. She was excited that Brittany would actually agree to go on this date with her but she felt horrible that she'd lost Brittany's trust. It was understandable after what she did but it didn't make it hurt any less.
Quinn was broken from her thoughts when Santana snapped her fingers closed to her ear.
"Earth to Quinn! Britts wants to go home and I have something I need to take care of so we're going to head back now, okay?" Santana phrased it like a question but Quinn knew otherwise, so she followed the two girls back down the ladder.
The ride back was silent but less tense then it was on the drive up. At least it was for Santana. One of the problems in her life seemed to be sorting itself out, even if it would take some time, it was progress. Quinn sat in the back staring subtly at Brittany to try and gage her feelings but she couldn't pinpoint anything. Brittany sat quietly thinking over everything that happened in the tree house.
She was glad to know that Santana still loved her with everything in her and some of her doubt ebbed away but not all. She wasn't sure how this relationship would work, if it even could work, but she said she'd try and that's what she planned to do. That's one of the reasons she said yes to Quinn's date. She wanted things to get better for herself and Santana, and if going out with Quinn would help then that's what she'd do. She also wanted to see if Quinn was being honest with her. Most of the time she can read people really well but with everything that happened recently she needed more than just words to ease her mind. And even if she didn't want to admit it, a little part of her wanted to see what it'd be like to have Quinn as her girlfriend.
Santana arrived in the school's parking lot so the other girls could get in their cars and drive home.
"I have to meet with my pack so I'm not going to be able to talk for the next couple of hours. If it's over in time I'll text you, but if it's too late I'll just see you guys at school." Santana said to the girls exiting her car.
"What do you need to meet with them for?" Quinn asked standing on the side of Santana's car.
Brittany was just going to nod her head and get in the car and drive home but Quinn's question did peak her interest.
"There's- an issue, that we need to discuss as a pack and take care of it as soon as possible. And being the pack leader I need to be there to begin the meeting." Santana answered vaguely. Although they both knew about werewolves neither of them were officially apart of the pack, so some things were still off limits to talk about, even if they were mates. She also didn't want to scare them seeing as the topic of a rouge werewolf running around Lima wouldn't be very comforting.
"That's all we get?" Quinn asked again. It wasn't that important to her at first but for some reason she felt like Santana was hiding something.
"I can't get into pack business with either of you yet. Although we are mates and some things are okay to talk about, you aren't officially apart of the pack until I claim you, so that's all I can tell you." Santana said nervously. She didn't want to bring up claiming them again, seeing how horribly it went the last time.
"Why does it seem like something is wrong?" Brittany asked. She could usually read Santana's expressions and body language. Needless to say she didn't like what she was seeing.
"I don't want to worry you and I can't say much but we have things under control, for the most part. But just to be safe don't go out late at night by yourselves and try not to be anywhere near the woods, if you can help it." Santana relented, knowing she had to give them something or the blondes wouldn't leave it alone.
"That doesn't sound like you have it under control to me if we ca-"
"Quinn, can you just listen to me for once and don't leave the house. I'm only looking out for your safety. Now seriously, I have to go I'm already late so please text me when you get in the house. Both of you." Santana cut Quinn off and gestured for both of them to get in their cars.
"Fine." Quinn mumbled and walked off to her car.
"That means you too Britt. You'll be safer in the house and it will put my mind at ease to know you're home." Santana said turning to Brittany when she didn't follow Quinn's lead.
"I know, I'm going. I just wanted to tell you I love you, and to be safe." Brittany replied before hopping into her car.
Santana watched both girls drive off before she returned to her car and rode to her house. Everyone was to meet up at her house to figure out how they were going to catch this asshole werewolf. He'd really become a thorn in Santana's side and she just wanted to be done with him already. Finally riding into her driveway, Santana cut off the engine and exited her car.
"Took you long enough, we've been here for at least an hour." Puck said from his sitting position on the porch.
"Yeah and I'm sure you found a lot of things to do in that time." Santana answered throwing a look at Kurt's bruised neck.
"Just because they're called love bites, Puck, doesn't mean you should leave actual teeth marks." Santana added causing both boys faces to flush.
Santana unlocked the door and headed to the den where she knew the rest of her pack would be. There was a key in the potted plant on her porch that they were allowed to use if she wasn't home.
"Alright, let's get done to business," Santana said as she walked into the full room, "have any of you seen anything out of place while on patrol?"
"Well Matt and I didn't see anything but we did catch his scent in a few places. But it wasn't very strong. Maybe he hunts over there and changes before he gets home because we followed the scent as far as we could but it just led to an open field. There didn't look like any place he could hold up for shelter anywhere nearby." Mike answered first.
"Well that's something I guess. We could have a patrol in that area more later at night when most of the attacks happen. Anybody else?"
"We smelled him a lot around town." Puck volunteered.
"Yeah. It looks like he's been hanging out of the music shop, fabric store, and the MAC outlet a lot." Kurt added.
"If I didn't know any better I'd say the rogue was Kurt or gay." Sam laughed, knowing that Kurt frequented those shops.
"This isn't funny! That bitch killed my brother and making jokes about him isn't going to help us find him any faster!" Matt yelled at Sam.
It shocked everyone in the room. They were all committed to finding the wolf that was causing them all so much grief. Although they may joke around they didn't take this threat lightly but seeing the rage and hurt in Matt's eye let them all know that this wouldn't be a mission they could casually talk about.
"I know Matt, I'm sorry." Sam finally said.
"Matt you don't have to worry. We will find out who did this to your brother, I promise." Santana said.
Matt just nodded his head and left the room. He didn't mean to cause the tension to rise in the room but this was a tough for him to deal with. Mike was already on his feet to go follow when Santana stopped him.
"Give him some time to clear his head. He'll come back on his own. Right now we need to figure out who the rogue could be." Mike bobbed his head and took his seat once again.
"Does anyone have any idea who this ass wipe could be?" Santana addressed the room.
"No. We know all of the wolves that live in this town because they are all sworn to a pack or have talked to us when the moved here." Finn spoke.
"Yeah but have there been any new people to move in. Any drifters, people you've seen around town that don't look like they're from here?" Santana asked again. She knows all of the wolves in Lima but that doesn't mean there aren't some in hiding. Most wolves are a part of some pack but even the ones that aren't have to notify the Elders or Packmaster when they move into new territory.
The group went over all of the things they saw, which was basically nothing. Nothing and No one seemed out of place. It was strange because there was no way all of them could have over looked something this big. They always knew when a new wolf set foot in their terrain and it was pissing Santana off even more knowing that whoever this wolf was had to have been under her nose the whole time.
"Okay since we've ruled out some new wolf strolling into town, who could be capable of something like this." Rachel spoke aloud. By this time Matt had returned with a level head and tried to think of any signs that would lead them to an answer.
"Well Mr. Green is an omega but he's too old to do this much damage." Finn said.
"I don't even think he shifts anymore." Sam chipped in.
"What about Luke? He hasn't claimed a pack yet and he seems kinda shifty if you ask me?" Mike threw out.
"Couldn't be Luke." Puck said firmly.
"Why not?" Santana asked.
"Because me and him were getting high that night when the first report of the animal attacks happened." Puck answered.
"Okay well that rules him out. And you and I will have to talk about your hobbies later." Kurt whispered but everyone in the room heard him anyway.
"Puck hasn't even been a wolf for a whole month yet and he's around in the dog house." Finn chuckled.
This caused the whole lot of them to laugh, even Matt. When they all quieted down and Puck finally stopped trying to fight Finn to should his badassness off Santana told everyone they should probably get home. They had done all they could do for the night and needed to get some rest so they could get back at it tomorrow.
"Sam and Finn, I want you guys to go patrol the area Mike and Matt had earlier. It's getting kind of late and if there is any sign of the rogue you need to alert me immediately." Santana said to the two boys before they exited her house.
"Of course." "No problem." They answered at the same time.
Santana closed the front door and looked down at her watch.
10:34
"It's not that late maybe I can give Quinn and Brittany a call." Santana said to herself as she walked up the stairs to her room.
"Why were you hanging out with Luke?" Kurt asked Puck as they walked around the creek.
"I told you because we were getting high." Puck retorted.
"You do know that you shouldn't smoke weed right?" Kurt said finally stopping their small trek and sitting at the edge of the creek.
"Yeah I know." Was all Puck said.
"I'm not judging you Puck. I just want you to know that it's not good for you. If you get caught you could get in so much trouble and after the atm thing the police are looking for anything to throw you back in jail. And it can stop you from getting a job, getting into school, and on top of that it kills brain cells!"
"Okay, okay, Kurt I get it. I shouldn't smoke I know. I'm sorry. If it makes you feel any better I didn't do it that often anyway. Sometimes I just need something to take the edge off. Everyone doesn't have such a great home life like you do." Puck replied.
"What's going on at home?" Kurt asked worried.
"Nothing."
"Puck don't lie to me. What's wrong?" Kurt persisted.
"My mom's been having issues paying the rent so she had to get another job. She's always working and is so fucking tired all the time. That's why I tried to break into the atm before. I know it was stupid but my mom works too damn hard to be thrown out on the street. Things were getting better, because I started the pool cleaning business and was giving her most of what I made but she getting sick. She's stressed out working so many hours and trying to take care of Sara and me is taking a toll on her. I feel like such a fuck up all the damn time. I mean I can't even take care of my mom and sister. What kind of man can't support his family? I'm just like my fucking father."
"I'm sorry, I didn't know." Kurt said completely dumbfounded by what Puck just told him.
"No one does. I don't talk about my family much." Puck murmured
"I know that things seem bad now but they will get better. You apart of the pack now and there is no way we would let you get thrown out of your home. We will help you out anyway we can and you know you can talk to me about anything. And even if you weren't my mate I would have helped you with this, we all would. And don't ever say that about yourself. You're not a fuck up you've just made some poor decisions. You are nothing like your dad because you are trying to help. You're mom needed money so you made your own business, not many teenagers can say that." Kurt said leaning over to Puck and grabbing his hand, interlocking their fingers.
They stayed quiet for a while, just watching the ripples of the water from the small current the creek had. It was peaceful, and if it wasn't for the sad talk they had earlier it would have been romantic.
"You know, I never thought I'd say this but I don't know what I would do without you. I know we just started going out but you make me feel better about myself. Like I'm not just some Lima Loser." Puck said squeezing Kurt's hand.
"That's because you're not Puck. You're so much more than that, and I'll be dammed if I let you forget it." Kurt said kissing Puck gently on the lips.
"Come on, you can stay at my house tonight. I actually went out and bought that Mario brother's game you were talking about." Kurt said standing up and leading Puck off to his house.
Puck got up to follow Kurt when he heard something.
"Did you that?" Puck asked his boyfriend.
"Hear what?"
"I don't know, it sounded like an animal or something but it was muffled." Puck replied.
"Well we're in the woods. It was probably just the deer or something." Kurt reasoned and pulled Puck along with him.
Puck felt uneasy. Something about this wasn't right; he could just tell that something was off but when he smelled the air hoping to catch the scent of whatever was causing the noise he found nothing.
"Maybe Kurt was right."Puck thought to himself and let Kurt pull him away.
Little did the boys know their little heart to heart was being watched. Just down wind where his scent wouldn't be caught was the rouge wolf, staring at Puck with nothing but rage and hatred in his eyes.
