Cooper had a level head and made him rest.
They arrived at the first warehouse, on the afternoon of the second day. Keeping to their wolf forms for now, just in case, and scoped out the entire property.
There was nothing they could smell or hear around it. No-one they could see. It was a dead end too.
Blaine angrily shook of his wolf form and stood up to yell out at the sky.
Cooper and Sebastian changed back with him, but Puck remained in wolf form as he lay down to rest.
"Fuck!" Blaine had yelled up at the sky, "Where the fuck are they?!"
"Calm down." Cooper had said and Blaine span to face him, and angry scowl set on his face.
"Calm down?! How can I?!" He screamed at his brother, and Cooper just stood calmly as he faced his angry and hurt little brother, "My mate is missing! Possibly in trouble...or hurt...or worse! And you're telling me to calm down?! Are you serious right now, Cooper?!"
"I have a mate too Blaine, and kids. If it was Eleanor, I'd probably be just as angry." Cooper said calmly while placing his hands on his brother's shoulders, "But someone has to keep your head level, so that you can think clearly."
"But I can't think clearly," Blaine whimpered as he leaned against his brother, "I can't think of anything else but Kurt..." He trailed off as he stiffened against his brother, "Kurt."
"I know I know, Kurt-"
"No!" Blaine said as he pulled away form his brother, an excited look in his eyes, and Sebastian raised an eyebrow, "It's Kurt, I can feel him."
"The bond."
"Yeah, we're getting close." Blaine said and he transformed back into a wolf and ran in the direction he could sense his mate, Puck close behind him.
Cooper had rolled his eyes towards Sebastian and they both transformed quickly as well, and took off after Blaine and Puck. Blaine had renewed vigor, as he could sense his mate, and he ran with purpose in the direction that his heart pulled him. His pack and brother close behind him, taking short cuts through fields and small town, scaring a few people along the way as they ran past them.
He was close. But Blaine could also feel hurt, physical pain through the connection, and he growled low in his chest as he ran a little faster. The red cloud of anger had started to creep in, as he could sense his mate's distress. No-one was allowed to harm his mate, and whoever had touched him, would wish they were dead when Blaine got to him.

The back hand across his face didn't hurt anymore, his cheeks had gone a little numb, and he slumped over onto the floor, receiving a swift kick to the ribs that made him lose his breath, and he rolled onto his side groaning in pain. His hair was yanked up roughly, and he grit his teeth and hissed at the uncomfortable position his neck was twisted into, as the man sneered down at him.
"Don't make me beat you to death, that would be an awful waste." He had whispered as he held Kurt's hair tightly in his fist, and Kurt just smirked up at him.
"I would rather die than give in to you." Kurt said voice a little rough from screaming in pain all night, and the man's hand connected with his face again, and Kurt felt his lip split.
"Who the fuck do you think you are?" The man sneered out in disgust as he pushed Kurt's head back to the floor, and stepped over him, treading on Kurt's hand on purpose, and Kurt groaned in pain again, "I have beaten you, and took you away from your home, your safety, your mate, and you still defy me."
Kurt was silent as he tried to breath through the pain in his side, 'Probably another cracked rib,' he thought.
"I don't understand why you want to take so much punishment, over just giving in, it will be a hell of a lot easier for you, you know?"
"I...I...My name is Kurt Hummel," Kurt said through the blood filling his mouth, and turned his glare up to his tormentor, "...and I defy anybody who tries to make me their 'Bitch!'" Kurt spat out and the man's boot connected with his side again, and Kurt grunted as the breath was knocked from him.
"Get him on the bed." The man ordered his goons, and Kurt was roughly picked up and placed on the bed roughly, as the man slid his jeans down again, Kurt looking at him with a glare, as his legs were roughly pulled open, "I'll break you eventually...and that will be fun."
Kurt tried to hold back the vomit, as the man swiftly pushed into him, not bothering to lube himself up this time, or prepare Kurt at all, but Kurt remained silent, he wouldn't cry, he grit his teeth against the pain, he would never give them the satisfaction of seeing him beg for mercy. Ever.
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
The connection was crackling and Blaine growled as he realised it was Kurt's connection going blank, that meant his mate was in trouble. The closer he got the stronger the pull, and it led them all to an abandoned farm house, just outside the border of Cincinnati.
Blaine's growls had increased as they closed in on the location, he could smell and hear a lot of people in that property. Puck stepped up beside him and growled low in his chest too.
Cooper changed back into a human again, and stepped in front of Blaine, kneeling to look his brother in the eye. He could see the anger and desperation swirling around in his eyes, but he had to keep his brother level, they couldn't just barge in there without a plan.
"Blaine, listen, you can't let your anger take over." Cooper tried but Blaine was just looking past him to the farmhouse in the short distance, and Cooper sighed. "Blaine!"
The black wolf's eyes turned to look into his brother's for a moment, before he was barrelling past, with Puck hot on his heels and Cooper growled in frustration as he turned and followed his idiot little brother.
Blaine, Puck, Cooper and Sebastian ran full speed into the grounds surrounding the farmhouse, and went barrelling onto the little porch and through the door. The red rage had descended on his younger brother, and Cooper watched helpless to do anything to calm him, as his brother attacked anything and everything in sight.
Fur was flying. The guys in the house were unsuspecting, and most of them had been woken up and were groggy when they had gone barrelling into the house, and they used the disorientation to their advantage.
Most of them were too dazed to understand what was happening, and with some well placed pushes and kicks to the head, a lot of them were unconscious too.
Some had run for it, as soon as they realized they were on the weaker side of the fight, leaving the rest vulnerable to the raging wolves barrelling through.
Blaine had so much blood in his mouth and nose, it was hard to differentiate friend from foe, and a few times he had to stop himself from attacking Sebastian or Puck, the red mist over his eyes was also affecting his decisions. Cooper was grappling a gun out of someone's hands next to him, and Blaine had turned to glance at him, before he jumped on to the man in question, knocking them all to the floor and the gun skidded across the wood.
Blaine left it up to Cooper then, as he felt the distress of his mate seep into his heart, and he ascended a staircase as the pull led him up. The smell of blood was strong up here, and Blaine could make out faint traces of his mate in the tang in the air. And then he realized...he could smell Kurt's blood.
Growling louder, he ran down the small hallway, before he stopped in front of a door at the end, the pull was strong from inside, and he could hear a slight scuffle on the other side of the door. Not wasting anymore time, he back up as far as he could, before he threw his entire body weight into the door and it crumpled inwards. His teeth attached themselves to the first thing they cam into contact with, and then there was more blood, and shouts and gurgles as Blaine mutilated whatever was in his path to his mate.
As the man in his jaws stopped struggling, he dropped him to the floor before looking around the room. Kurt. Or what looked like Kurt, watching him with wide eyes from the bed, and Blaine was just about to walk to him when he smelled a strange smell in the air.
It smelled like...sex.
He froze as he looked at Kurt, who was bruised and beaten and who looked down shamefully as Blaine focused on him, and Blaine growled and dropped his head as he then turned to the last man in the room. He was cowering in the corner, and Blaine could tell that this was the one who had hurt and raped his mate, and he lunged as the man screamed.
Kurt sat stiffly in his position on the bed, he had seen the black wolf come into the room and start killing everyone in it, he had recognized it, but he was so dazed and in pain, he couldn't think straight. As the wolf stopped to stare at him, Kurt had looked down and then he heard a growl and a scream from the tall man in the corner, and had turned his head and watched the black wolf jump on the man and maul him.
Kurt felt a little frightened that he would be next so he clumsily stood up on his feet, wrapping an arm around his side, he stumbled over to the door quickly, trying to make his escape, but as he turned around the frame and into the hallway he bumped into another chest. He whined and attempted to push out of the arms that had wrapped around him before a voice said, "Kurt?"
He looked up at the face in front of him, making out some distinctive features, as blue eyes pierced through his own, worriedly.
"Cooper?" He asked, his voice rough, and the man in front of him nodded, and Kurt relaxed against him, suddenly overwhelmed, "B-blaine?"
"I'm pretty sure he's in there." Cooper said as he pointed into the room Kurt had just come out of and Kurt turned his head.
Blaine had shook off his wolf form and looked around himself a little with disgust, there was blood everywhere, and he swore he had seen Kurt in here, but he couldn't focus properly, the smell in the room was almost dizzying.
"Blaine?!" He heard his brother's voice call from the hall, and he put his hands on his head, trying to focus and remain calm, "Blaine, I think you should come out here!"
"Coop, I have to find..." Blaine started as he walked out, but froze as he saw his mate cowering in his brother's arms, "Kurt."
Kurt turned to him as he whispered his name, and Blaine reached out a hand to place it on his husband's cheek.
"Kurt? It's me...I'm here, Kurt." He reassured his frightened mate, as Kurt turned to look at him fully, and he heard a sob as Kurt reached an arm out for him, and Cooper released his hold as Blaine flung his arms around him, "OH my god...Kurt, Oh, baby...I'm here, I'm here, it's ok now."
Blaine kept whispering reassuring things into Kurt's ear as his husband sobbed against his neck, Blaine own eyes filled with tears as he listened to the anguished sobs wracking Kurt's frame, hearing Kurt choke on a few deep breaths he pulled back and watched as Kurt placed a hand against his side with a small hiss.
"Baby, what's wrong?" Blaine asked worriedly as he checked Kurt over with his eyes, noting all the bruises and cuts all over his beautiful pale skin.
"Ribs." Kurt breathed out and Blaine had to hold in another growl of anger, instead he pulled Kurt against him, and soothed him.
"It's ok...I'm here now, we're going to get out of here."
Cooper and Sebastian had searched the house for pants to put on, to cover themselves up for when the police arrived, Cooper having called them after the fight had stopped. Blaine had retrieved Kurt's jeans from the room, and had helped pull them on him, before he pulled on a pair of sweats that Sebastian had thrown at him.
After they were decent, and as they waited for the police, Blaine had tried to get Kurt to settle down on one of the couches, but Kurt refused and tried pushing away from Blaine and his husband turned to him with a confused expression.
"The other boys...downstairs." Kurt said and Blaine nodded, and asked Kurt to show him the way down, calling Puck to come with them, as Cooper and Sebastian waited for the police.
Blaine grimaced as he opened the door Kurt had indicated, and covered his nose a little at the smell. Puck coughed at it too, and Kurt walked inside.
Blaine and Puck both watched with horror as about 20 young boys, all flocked around Kurt, some holding babies, some pregnant. But all of them recoiled a little and tried hiding behind him as they saw Puck and Blaine walk inside. Kurt hushed them as they started whining, Blaine was still covered in blood after all.
"It's ok...they're here...to help." Kurt spoke breathlessly, his ribs making it difficult to talk. "Where's Bradley?" he asked them while looking around.
They all glanced at each other, and Kurt felt a sense of dread at the looks on their faces, until Billy stepped forward.
"He didn't wake up, after you left." Billy said and Kurt's eyes widened and he felt them prickling, "We waited but, he didn't."
Billy finished and all the boys looked around at each other sadly, and as Puck led them all from the room, Kurt hung back and looked over to where they had covered Bradley's body up with a blanket.
Kurt stumbled over to it and gently as he could, he knelt down to pull the cover back slightly to place a hand over Bradley's cheek. Blaine walked over, watching him as he knelt down to the dead boy on the floor.
"He wanted to be a fire fighter...he was so sweet...he didn't belong here." Kurt choked out as his tears spilt over and ran down his cheeks.
Blaine placed a hand around Kurt's shoulder and knelt next to him, bringing Kurt's head against his chest, as his mate grieved for his friend.
"Come on, Kurt. We need to go wait upstairs. I'll ask Puck to come back down and get Bradley, ok?" Blaine said gently and Kurt nodded against him, and he helped him stand again, Kurt hissing slightly as the pain in his side burnt.
Once the police arrived, with ambulance crews on their tail, and most of the young boys had been taken to hospital, one being placed in a body bag, Inspector Lewis found Blaine and Kurt in amongst the commotion.
"Well, well...you beat us here it seems." He said to Blaine, and he grinned sheepishly. "What happened upstairs?"
"I-"
"It doesn't matter," The inspector said and Blaine raised an eyebrow, "I've already read some accounts of the red rage, it does a hell of a job."
"Sir?"
"You won't be prosecuted, werewolf law states that it was 'necessary aggression to protect ones mate,'" he explained and Kurt buried his face more into Blaine's chest, and the inspector smiled, "I'll need a statement from both of you by the end of the night."
He walked off and Blaine snuggled Kurt against him a little tighter as they wheeled the stretcher with Bradley's body on it, towards one of the vans waiting.
"How's Sam?" Kurt asked quietly, and Blaine placed a kiss against his head.
"He's ok, he had a small concussion for a while, but he's fine."
"And Justin?" Kurt asked again, and Blaine stroked a hand through his hair, as he felt him shudder against him.
"He misses you, they all do." Blaine said and willed the unshed tears back, as Kurt took in shaky breath.
"I can't wait to go home."
They couldn't go home straight away, Kurt had to go to hospital. He had to be checked over. He had a cracked rib, a sprained wrist, light abrasions all over his body, he was underweight, and he had a lot of bruises over his back and face.
"Ow," Kurt said as the nurse gently swiped over his split lip with disinfectant, and she apologized a little before moving on to her list of checks.
"Has any one offered you a rape kit?" She asked and Kurt tensed at the word, and Blaine nearly growled again, but Kurt just shook his head at her, "Would you like me to do it?"
Kurt looked at Blaine.
"Oh he can stay if you want him too." She said quickly with a little smile and Kurt nodded back at her, and she asked him to scoot up onto the bed a bit more.
Blaine stayed by his side and held his hand, as Kurt grit his teeth and tried not to cry out while the procedure was taking place. She was done fairly quickly, and when she had done all she needed she turned back to Kurt.
"Now...you are a carrier, correct?" She asked and Kurt nodded again, "Would you like me to ask for a pregnancy test?" she asked a little gravely and Kurt sobbed as he nodded and placed his head into his hands.
Blaine smiled to the nurse as she left, and cradled Kurt in his arms.
"Ssh, baby, it'll be ok...we'll figure it out."
"But I-I"
"Ssh...let's just take it one step at a time."
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
Kurt hadn't stopped crying since the nurse had come back and told them that the pregnancy test was positive. Blaine had tried to comfort him, wrapping his arms around his distraught husband, but Kurt had pushed him away and curled in on himself, no longer letting anyone touch him.
All of the STD tests and the bloodwork all came back fine, he hadn't caught anything and had no infections.
But Blaine had no idea what to do, he was at a complete loss himself, and after giving his statement to Inspector Lewis, he had sat outside in the hall with his face buried in his hands, trying to force the tears to stay back.
Suddenly he heard his husband yell out and a loud thud from the room, and he burst through the door, wanting to know what was going on.
The nurse was standing beside the bed with a bandage in her hands, a look of shock on her face, and Kurt was sitting against the wall beside the bed with a frightened and pained looked in his eyes.
"What happened?" Blaine asked the nurse as he knelt down next to his fearful husband.
She shook her head slowly in confusion.
"I don't know, I asked him if I could wrap his ribs and he told me I could, but once I touched him he screamed and threw himself off the bed." She explained with a shocked face and a sad look in her eyes, and Blaine nodded in understanding.
"I don't think he can stand anyone touching him right now? Does he have to have that?" Blaine asked and she shrugged her shoulders with a small smile.
"No, but it might make the healing more painful without it?" She said and he nodded.
He turned back to Kurt and placed a warm comforting hand on his husband's shoulder.
"Sweetheart, did you want me to wrap it instead?" He asked gently and Kurt nodded slowly.
Blaine looked over at the nurse, and she smiled as she agreed and Blaine helped Kurt back onto the bed while she instructed him on what to do.
After a lot of pained winces from Kurt and a lot of apologies from Blaine, Kurt's ribs were successfully wrapped. Blaine thanked the nurse as she left, before Inspector Lewis poked his head around the door and asked if Kurt was ready to make his statement.
Blaine stepped outside into the hall again and took a seat while Kurt and the Inspector talked, and after a while of sitting by himself he decided he better update his brother.
"Hey bro, is everything ok?" His brother answered after the second ring.
"No, not it's not...Kurt's pregnant."
"Shit..." Coop breathed out.
"Yeah...and he keeps pushing me away." Blaine went on to explain as he tried to choke back a sob, "and I feel so helpless, Coop."
"It'll be ok, Blainey, just give it time. Did you want me to come down there?" Cooper asked gently.
"No, no it's ok. He'll be released soon, they've done all the tests now, and he's just giving his statement to the police." Blaine said while he wiped at his eyes in a failed attempt at drying them, "I'm sure we'll be home soon. Have you told Burt?"
"Yeah. Yeah...and we're here waiting for you guys...the kids are all asleep."
"Ok...I'll let you know when he's released, someone will need to come get us."
There were noises and a discussion in the background and then hushed arguments before Cooper come back on the line.
"Puck said he'll drive. Did you want me to tell them...about...everything?" Cooper asked while trying not to give too much information away and Blaine smiled a little.
"I...erm...I'm not sure yet, I'll ask Kurt. But for now, no."
"Ok. See you soon then?"
"Yeah, see you soon."
Inspector Lewis came out of the hospital room and winked at Blaine as he left, and Blaine was just about to walk back through the door to Kurt, when a doctor approached and Blaine stopped to face him.
"Are you Kurt's husband?" the doctor asked kindly with an outstretched hand, and Blaine nodded.
"I am." he said, grasping the doctor's hand in a shake.
"Pleased to meet you, I'm Doctor Harrison, I just need to discuss some things with you before I talk to Kurt, is that ok?"
"Yes."
"Ok...well as you know, the pregnancy test came back positive, and he doesn't have any diseases or infections according to his bloodwork. However his body condition is very poor, and his immune system would be very fragile, after what he has been through, it would be a werewolf response mechanism. So his overall condition right now, means he isn't eligible for an abortion or anything-"
"We actually haven't discussed the pregnancy yet." Blaine interrupted and the doctor gave him a weak smile.
"Mmm, it will be tough. The rape kit also came back testing positive for seminal fluid and blood, so we are worried about internal damage too. Now he won't let anyone close, and I understand how difficult it will be for him, especially tonight, so we won't be examining him anymore."
Blaine sighed in relief, that this doctor seemed to understand what his mate had gone through and wasn't going to traumatize him even more.
"Now we would like to keep a close watch on how he heals, so he will need to come back weekly for checks, at least for the first couple of months. And I will recommend a therapist for him. Does that all sound reasonable so far?"
"Yes, absolutely."
"Well, now I need to go and relay most of this information to Kurt. Shall we?" The doctor said as he opened the door and motioned for Blaine to walk in first, following in after.
As the doctor relayed the information to Kurt, Blaine watched his husband's face crumble slightly as the doctor mentioned the pregnancy.
Kurt seemed to close off after the doctor informed them that he could leave to go home, and he made an appointment for Kurt to return next week, before he smiled kindly at them both and left.
Blaine text Puck that they were getting ready to leave, and he grabbed Kurt's clothes that had been in a bag on the floor, but Kurt refused to put them on, and Blaine sighed before he led Kurt out to wait for Puck, Kurt wrapped up in the hospital gown and a borrowed jacket from the hospital lost and found.
As they waited for Puck outside, Blaine had tried to put his arm around him, but Kurt had pulled away, not looking at Blaine, and face set in a frown.
"Kurt?" Blaine had asked in a hurt sounding tone, but Kurt completely ignored him and they sat in silence, until Puck arrived.
He was silent in the car, all the way home, sitting in the back seat, but avoiding sitting too close to Blaine, and his husband kept a watchful eye on him, even though he was a little upset over his refusal to acknowledge him.
Blaine was talking quietly to Puck, but he still didn't mention anything about the pregnancy, because he wanted to talk to Kurt about it. Kurt remained silent when Puck asked him if he was ok, he just stared out of the window.
When they pulled up at the house, Burt was at the door waiting for them, Kurt carefully got out of the car holding his side and hissing uncomfortably, his rib throbbing with every breath he took in, and Burt noticed the bruises and marks all over his face.
"Oh, Kurt." He said and made to walk towards him, but Kurt eyed him a little wearily as he got closer, so he stopped, "It's ok, buddy, it's me."
Kurt nodded as he reached out and took his father's hand, willing his heart to stop racing, it seemed like everything was making it do that tonight. He attempting a small smile at his dad, but all that came was a small grimace as he slowly walked past Burt and into the house.
"Kurt!" Sam shouted and dashed for him, wanting to wrap his arms around him, but Kurt shrieked slightly and stumbled as he backed away quickly, his hands flying in front of himself, and Sam looked confused for a moment, until Blaine stepped in Kurt's line of sight.
"Kurt, ssh, Kurt it's ok...it's just Sam, Kurt, it's alright." Blaine was hushing him quietly and Kurt grasped at Blaine's shirt tightly as he breathed heavily.
"What did I do?" Sam asked quietly, "I'm sorry."
Burt placed his hand on Sam's shoulder, and told him it was alright, before he turned to Blaine.
"Maybe you should take Kurt upstairs to rest, Blaine." He said as he eyed his frightened son, and Blaine nodded before carefully guiding Kurt to the stairs.
They all watched them go slowly up, and Cooper sighed from the living room door, knowing that Kurt was in a bad place right now, and wishing there was some way he could help his brother get through this.
"He can't have anyone touch him Sam, with what he's been through, we have to be careful, it's not your fault." Burt explained to Sam, and the blonde nodded before he walked back into the living room, a guilty look on his face.
"Puck," Burt started as he ran his hands over the back of his neck, "You, Carole and me, we'll take the oldest kids out tomorrow, give them some time to be together, ok?"
Puck agreed with a little frown.
"Cooper, how long you staying for?" Burt said as he turned to the man at the end of the hall.
"Depends if Blaine needs me, but I should be here for the rest of the week." Cooper replied as he shrugged.
Upstairs, Blaine led Kurt through into their bedroom, and sat him down gently on the bed. Kurt still had quite a grip on his shirt, so Blaine stayed where he was, in front of him, until he let go. As his hands dropped to his side, Kurt seemed to slump into himself, and Blaine placed a hand on one of his shoulders, feeling him tense a little.
"Kurt, it's ok, now." Blaine tried to comfort him, but Kurt shook his head slowly and shrugged Blaine's hand off his shoulder.
"No, it's not." Kurt said, so quietly Blaine almost missed it, "I just want to shower and go to bed now."
"Kurt, maybe we should talk?"
"No, I don't want to talk, I want to have a shower." Kurt responded a little louder, and Blaine tilted his head as Kurt stood by himself, grimacing slightly at the pain in his side, "I want to wash the feel of him off of me. I'm disgusting and dirty, and I probably still smell like that awful place, I want to wash it away and go to sleep, please."
Kurt's eyes started watering and a couple of tears fell as he pleaded with Blaine to let him shower, and Blaine felt bad about wanting to talk when Kurt still could feel everything that happened. He nodded quickly as he raised a hand to wipe away the tears, his own eyes prickling as Kurt flinched a little at his touch, and he moved over to the bathroom with Kurt.
Kurt stopped at the bathroom door as Blaine was about to head inside, and placed a hand on Blaine's chest. His husband looked at him in confusion and Kurt felt incredibly guilty for what he was about to say.
"I need to do it alone, Blaine. I'm sorry, I just need some space."
Blaine looked away, hurt for a minute, before he plastered on a smile and gently nodded at Kurt, moving away from him.
"Ok, just yell for me if you need help, ok?" Blaine said and Kurt nodded before walking into the bathroom and shutting and locking the door.
