-Chapter-7-
-Rachel pov-
I am spending the weekend with my mom for the first time. This has been a dream of mine for a long time. I can not believe I am actually going to be doing this! I need to thank the girls when I am able.
I take a deep breath and push the doorbell button. I look at my suitcase and smile. I am finally going to build the relationship up! This is going to be the best weekend ever!
"Rachel?" I freeze as I look at the still closed door "What are you doing here? I thought you were going to be home"
"I thought you and daddy were still busy" I turn to see both of them in their car "Uhh what are you doing back so early?"
"We came to tell you that we would be gone for a month" I feel my heart tighten "We have tried to get out of it"
"We did not want to leave you baby girl" Daddy sighs and shakes his head "We just could not pass on the chance finally to..well we got a promotion"
"We will be in California for a month" I feel tears ready to form but I keep them back "Would you...Rachel get away from that woman! She is not good! Did you not learn that from last year?!"
I turn to see Shelby behind me "I am not good?!" Shelby steps angrily out of the house "You two are leaving her here alone! If you had not seen her would you have told her where you were going?"
"That is none of your concern!" I feel my heart speeding up now as anxiety kicks in "Get in your car now Rachel! You do not ever visit that woman again! We left money on the table at home!"
"Rachel stay here" I look at Shelby who looks actually concerned "Everything will be fine if you do ok?"
"I-I have to go" I knew everything going well was too good to be true "I have to make sure everything stays alright at the house"
I do not even grab my suitcase as I run to my car. I just quickly throw it in reverse and then drive. My dads are already on their way away from me. Everyone I love or want to love leaves me in the end.
I fed the tears finally spilling over. I can barely see the road in front of me. I should probably slow down and pull off to the side. Is that a stop sign?
-Shelby pov-
I look at Rachel's suitcase on the porch. I feel my anger slowly starting to boil. Those motherfuckers cost me my daughter! I should rip them limb from limb!
I quickly rush inside the house to check on Beth. When I see she is out cold I send a text out. Panting and flaps are heard quickly soon after. I turn and see the wolf along with the bat.
"I have to go find Rachel" I grab my keys and point to where Beth is at "You two stay here with her! I understand she is your mate but she is my daughter first! I will bring Rachel back I promise!"
'You best' Santana slowly moves toward Beths room 'You would not like me as a mad alpha'
I roll my eyes and run to my car. I start it up and leave my drive. I start down the way I saw her speed down. She can not have gotten very far.
I get stopped a bit away from the house as tears fall down my face.
-Time skip-
"You promised me!" Santana is being held back by Quinn and Maribel "You deserve to be pack-less right now! Turned into a wood wandering mutt!"
"Shut up!" Quinn pushes Santana backwards "She is hurting too! We have no word on Rachel and she is her birth mom!"
"She is no mom!" I look at the ground as tears start to fall "A true mom does not give up their children!"
"So I am not a real mom?" Tense silence falls over the room "Answer Santana! Cause if giving up your child for them to have a better life is not being a real mom then you are not either!"
"Shut your mouth" I look up shocked at what I just heard "You said we would not talk about that!"
"Everyone else thinks it was puck and that took forever to implant in his mind!" Quinn pokes Santana's chest angrily "You keeping your secret was important and you slam it caused chaos by rejecting me along with the baby!"
I see Santana's anger leave her "I know" Santana has tear trails fall down bed face "I just was afraid...Shelby has been so good to her...better than we could have been"
"You two are beths parents?" They both nod "Ho...oh god so I was not just imaging it?!"
"You got one?" I nod and Santana's eyes go wide along with a smile "You found your mate! This is wonderful! Who was it?!"
"I have no clue" I look down at my lap "I-I just remember it being there...at that time...and I had it for a week"
"I can look into it" Maribel smiles softly "You finally have found love Shelby! This is such a great occasion!"
"I just wish it came at a better time" I sniffle as tears fall again "I want my baby girl here"
"Judy has been with my husband making sure she was ok" Maribel looks at her phone and sighs "I have not received word yet"
"How bad was it?" I look at Santana confused "The crash"
Images replay in my mind again "The driver side was smashed into the car" I feel sick remembering what I saw "The air bag got punctured so not much helped her...She was bleeding so much..oh god my baby girl could be dead!"
I feel arms wrap around me soon. I lean in and let my sobbing out. I could have lost everything today. She was supposed to be here and be with me.
A calming effect takes over me soon though. I open my eyes and see nothing but beauty. How can anyone look as good as them? I saw them the day it started!
"Oh this is a story for later" Santana stands up and I can see the worry in her eyes "Is she ok?"
"We had to do something drastic" Judy frowns and I see the tear slide down her face "You are going to want to come with me"
-Time skip-Rachel pov-
Everything feels funny right now. I feel like I am not truly in my body. I have some joint pain too. Has my singing voice gone too?!
-Rachel singing-
Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules
Of someone else's game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes... and leap!
It's time to try
Defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I am defying gravity
And you won't bring me down!
I'm through accepting limits
'cause someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But till I try, I'll never know!
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've lost
Well, if that's love
It comes at much too high a cost!
I'd sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I'm defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
And you won't bring me down!
I'd sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I'm defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
And you won't bring me down!
Bring me down!
Ohh ohhh ohhhh!
Thank the heavens my voice is fine! I slowly open my eyes and notice everything looks off. The my vision change? What happened to me?
There are some beeps and boops like in a hospital. I look around and see I am in a hospital. My ears are really sensitive to these sounds right now. I am also super hungry right now.
I could eat a co...what was that thought? I am a vegan! I would never eat a cow! Why would I even starts to think that?!
"Oh no" I turn and see my soulmates looking so sad along with...do I look adorable right now? "I mean she is cute but still! This is not how we wanted this to happen!"
"She lost too much blood during the way over" A Hispanic doctor puts a hand on Santana's shoulder "I am sorry Mija"
"It was me or him" Judy sighs and steps in "Come in Shelby"
I look and see my mom with Beth "Oh my baby girl" I see some tears in her eyes "You are still alive! I am so happy to see you alive no matter how you look now!"
"Shelby!" I feel anxiety go through my body "She has not figured it out yet!"
"Oh no" I see fear on my moms face "She did not know? Could she have died if her body rejected this?"
"Yes" What is happening right now?! "But thankfully she had reasons to fight"
I try to open my mouth to talk but can not. Whatever this white thing coming off my nose is stopping me. But if it was blocking my mouth and nose how am I breathing? It almost looks like fur and a..dogs..nose.
"Stay calm ok baby?" I look at Quinn who slowly walks over to me "We are taking this a step at a time"
I feel myself get picked up and watch Santana walk. Quinn leads us to the bathroom in the room. I am facing away from the mirror I what you see! Why are they not letting me see?!
"No matter what just know we love you ok?" I nod and Santana has tears in her eyes "We really did not want it to happen like this"
"We will be beside you though" Quinn smiles wide as tears fall down her face "I just am the odd one out now"
The odd one out now? What does that mean? Was she not the only blonde one? Did I some how become bigger breasted?!
I get my answer as Quinn spins us around. At first I am confused by the small snowball in the mirror. Where am I in the mirror? But slowly everything starts to make sense.
I tilt my head to the side and let my tongue out. The snowball mimics each movement. I look up at Quinn and then over at Santana. I got turned into a werewolf.
"You can talk if you just think" Santana puts a hand on my head "Just think about talking to us"
'I am thinking I want to bite your hand off' Santana quickly moves her hand back 'How am I a wolf? Did you turn me?'
"You were in a bad accident" Quinn soothingly pets my back "You would have died if not for this"
'So until I change back I am this little snowball?' They both nod and I look at myself in the mirror 'Why am I so small?!'
"Called a omega and..well usually means you like to be babied" Well I love attention, so not mind being fed, I have had accidents in the past...oh god "Which is totally fine! But we just need to know"
'Let me adjust to the wolf life first ok?' They both nod and I keep looking at myself 'You are really staying beside me?'
"Of course" Santana moves back into us with a hug "You two are my life"
'I could get used to this attention' They both laugh and I feel happiness spread through me 'Now to face my mother'
I am lead out slowly by them "Hey baby" mom grabs me from Quinn and smiles "So you really can be my baby huh?"
'One step at a time' She nods and pulls me into her 'Please do not leave me'
"Never again" Mom kisses the top of my head "We are through this together"
I smile and nuzzle into her some. Being a wolf may not be all that bad. I guess I have some more time to see. I at least have a lot of support through this.
I really can not wait to see what comes next.
