Chapter 8: The Things We Know Could Unleash Hell

Song: One Hundred by Hands Like Houses

A.N.

Wolves talking Humans talking.

In case anyone is wondering, I picture Zion as Zendaya and Greer would look like if she had a boy twin. And I don't really picture Jasmine as anyone in particular, just a slender black woman.

Also, just to clear things up, any child Quinn or Charlie has is going to be an Alpha because that's the dominant gene in their bloodline. Charlie is a Alpha but not The Alpha. Any child that Quinn has will be in line to the "throne" before Charlie will.

And I don't know why you guys aren't getting notifications. I didn't get any until this morning but I could see the chapters were posted so I thought nothing of it.

"What were you thinking, Quinn?! How could you be so stupid?!" Judy paced as she yelled at her first born.

Quinn sighed out in frustration. She had been in corned in Brittany's wing of the house for what feels like hours. She was starting to get restless. Santana would be finishing her transition soon and Ramsey and Quinn needed to be by her side.

Instead, her whole pack seems to be staging some kind of intervention.

"Well clearly I wasn't thinking, Mother." Quinn pointed out matter of factly. Her mother glared at her.

"Lucy! You don't need a pup running around now. It's too dangerous. It's too soon." Judy sat on the couch next to her daughter heavily.

"Why is it such a big deal? Why does no one want a little me running around the house? Besides, San might not even be pregnant." The pack gives her a look at the last part. She pouted. Damn Alpha sperm. Brittany seemed to hesitantly sit on the otherside of Quinn. She rubbed the Alpha's back.

"Q. Your mother is right. It's not that we don't want you and Santana to have a child, it's just too dangerous." Quinn huffed, it was the second time she heard this 'too dangerous' thing and no one was elaborating, "What is it you guys aren't telling me? And don't tell me there isn't anything I need to worry aabout because it's clearly worrying you." Quinn gently pats her upper chest to bring attention to her pack brand, "I can feel it. In the connection. You guys are scared."

The pack all look at each other as if to mentally argue who was going to tell the blonde. Quinn watches as everyone takes a step back except for her little brother, leaving him the only one standing foward.

It takes him a second to realize he's been set up, but he eventually sucks it up and stalks toward his sister. He takes comfort in the fact that Quinn probably won't hurt him because he's still a pup.

"We think dad might be back. And this time we think he has help." Those terrifying words sound foreign coming from the pup's boyish mouth. Quinn growls lowly in her throat. She briefly thinks back to her dream.

"This is what I've been feeling, Quinn. I told you that I felt like something bad was going to happen. This is it." Judy insists. Quinn roughly kicks the ottoman. She gestures for everyone to leave the room and give her some space. Before Charlie could leave, she puts a hand on his shoulder.

"I'm proud of you."

"For what?"

"When your pack threw you under the bus, you didn't argue. You took it in stride. And you didn't stutter when you told me, you looked me in the eye, you were sure about yourself. You're going to make a great Alpha one day." Charlie smiled wide and hugged his older sister, "Thank you. I'm going to be the best Uncle, too. Your spawn won't know what hit them." Quinn chuckled while ruffling the boys hair. He pulled away and went toward the kitchen.

Quinn took a deep breath before walking back towards her wing. She notices the pack house looks slightly empty. The hunting group must have went out. Or they were simply trying to avoid her wrath.

Santana awoke with a start. She looked around the room trying to remember where she was.

She remembers bits and pieces of the last twenty four hours. She remembers pain, lots of pain. She remembers people talking around her in hush voices. She remembers being marked. And then she remembers pain again.

'Oh you're awake. How nice of you to join us.'

Santana jumps half way out the bed. She looked around frantically. No one was in the room. She's sure she heard a voice.

'You did. I guess it would be useful of me to introduce myself. My name is Faustus, but you can call me Faust for short. I am your wolf.' Santana blinks at the information she's being given. It's an odd feeling. This is news to her, but somehow she feels she already knew. It feels instinctual.

"Um, I'm Santana."

'I know who you are, Santana. I know everything about you. I am technically you. Also, you don't have to speak out loud. Just simply think and I'll hear you.' Faust says causally. Santana imagined the wolf nonchalantly filing her nails. 'What do we look like when we change? Do my eyes change color like Quinn's? What's this mark on my neck? What's this mark on my chest? Is there anything else I should know about?' Santana asks giddily. Faust smiled lightly at her excitedness.'Okay, Calm down. One question at a time. I'll start with the first one. We're are a dark grey wolf simply. I would like to wait for Ramsey and Quinn before we change for the first time.' Santana nodded along. She must have looked crazy to anyone who could just walk into the room.

'Do my eyes change color?'

'Look in the mirror.'

Santana closes her eyes slowly walked over to the mirror above Quinn's dresser. She opens them and gasps. Her eyes are a deep red color. They almost resembled blood but they had a slight glow to them.

'Sexy, isn't it.'

"Very."

'Well back to your other questions. That mark on your neck it's the mate mark Quinn gave you. The mark on your chest is the pack brand. Everyone has it. And no, they didn't brand you. It appeared when you turned. As for anything else you should know about? Hmm. You're going to have bad spouts of anger. You're first change is probably gonna hurt like a bitch. We're pregnant. You eat rabbits now-'

"WHAT!?" Faust nods along in agreement, 'Yeah, I know. I hate rabbit too. Too gamey for my tastes.'

'No. Not the fucking rabbit. Did you say we're pregnant?!' Faust takes a moment to think back, 'Oh yeah. I did say that. Yes, we are with pup.'

'Why didn't you lead off with that?' Faust frowned feeling wrongfully accused, 'That's not normally the first thing you say when you're trying to get to know your human.'

'How do you even know? I mean I'm dead for fucks sake! How am I pregnant?!' Santana pulls at the ends of her hair, a nervous tick she developed as a child.

'I know everything about your body. Plus werewolf gestation periods are really quick. You'll be showing in a day or two. You're not really dead, Santana. You're half vampire there's a difference.'

Santana sat down on the bed limply. She took a deep breath trying to calm herself down, 'I know you think you're too young Santana and it's too soon, there's a lot going on, but everything is going to be alright. You aren't going through this alone. I'm pregnant with you, and you have Quinn and Ramsey. They love us and won't let anything bad happen to us.'

"You're right. I just need to relax."

"Who's right?" Quinn appears in the doorway, startling Santana. The Alpha sits next to her mate and smiles.

"Faust is right." Quinn blinks, who the hell is Faust, then it occurs to her, " Oh! You met your wolf! I like the name Faustus."

"How'd you know her whole name was Faustus?"

"Ramsey told me. They can communicate. Weird, I know."

Santana takes a deep breath. "Wow, there's so much I have to learn."

A.N. How does everyone like Faust? Next chapter Santana has a training montage. Plus mate ceremony and drama is put on hold but not gone. Maybe even a trip to heaven is planned who knows.
