When Santana gets home she looks around for Brittany, but can't find her in fact all she finds is her mother asleep on the couch with her three kids on top of her. She smiles at her mother. She thinks that maybe Brittany has gone out on another search with her father. If there is one thing that she learns from the blonde it is she isn't one to wait around for something to happen and that she will do everything in her power to protect their kids and her mate.
"Mija, I see your home." Maria says smiling as she wakes at feeling at pair of eyes on her.
"Yeah, Britts not back?" Santana questions hoping that she at least told her mother where she was going.
"No sweetie she's not though she could have come back while I was sleeping and then gone out again." Maria says trying to reassure her daughter.
"Oh, well maybe she decided to go searching again. I wouldn't put it pass her to do so. Now if you don't mind I need to get these three to bed so I can go to sleep too. After all you did tell me that I still had to go to school." Santana tells her as they both carry the kids upstairs to the nursery.
"Well call me if you need anything sweetie." Maria says kissing her on the forehead before leaving.
Santana doesn't want to sleep alone so she decides to sleep on the couch in the nursery. It is the first time that she has to go to bed without Brittany spooning her since meeting the girl. She misses her and is starting to get slightly worried that she isn't here. Sighing, she finally falls asleep clutching a pillow tightly to her.
It is pitch black and I can't open my eyes or move. Where the hell am I? San are you here can you hear me? I don't know where I am or what happened. Please baby be okay I don't know what I'd do if something happened to you. I don't know what they're doing to me for some reason I can't move or see. I smell two humans one I recognize I think. Everything is confusing and I can't tell one thing from another. I need to know you're okay baby please tell me you're okay along with our pups. I can survive anything if I know that you and the pups are okay.
Santana is jarred from her sleep when she hears Brittany looking down she notices that she has shifted. The only thing she wants now is Brittany okay she wants two things she also wants Brittany's dick as well. After she pushes back her need to mate with her missing mate she can rationally think through what her mate has said.
Britt are you okay? Where are you? Yes the pups and I are fine. Please Britt you have to be okay.
Even in wolf form Santana is starting to freak out. Her mate is in distress and she needs to help. Though she can't leave their pups alone and it's not like she knows where the fuck her mate is being held. There is only one thing she can do. Howling Santana calls out to all the gleeks and her family to come to her immediately she has news. There's no doubt in her mind that it has something to do with the rogue and perhaps it does, but she will need help finding her mate.
San, I don't know anything please just be careful.
Not knowing what else to do she shifts back to human. Getting up she heads downstairs, but not before grabbing Marcus and holding him close her to along with attaching Emily and Luna to her. There is no way in hell she will leave them alone with Brittany being god knows where. She sits down on the couch and waits for everyone to arrive. It is hard for her to not feel overwhelmed and have a need to start balling at the loss of Brittany, but she needs to stay strong for her kids and has to think positively.
"Santana?" Quinn quietly says as she walks in surprised not to one hear Brittany growling at her for entering unannounced and two where the fuck the blonde is.
"Hey...oh god Quinn I think something has happened to..." Santana tries to say, but starts sobbing so hard that Quinn can't understand what she is staying.
At this point Kurt, Mercedes and Puck have all arrived as well and are staring at Santana like she has three heads. No one has ever seen her like this before in fact most were convinced she didn't have the capability to cry. By the time her father and mother arrive all the gleeks are here along with her abuela Santana is sobbing into Quinn's arms as Kurt, Mercedes and Puck take care of the little ones. Even her parents have never seen her like this before they are just as freaked out as the gleeks are and don't know what to do.
"Mija what's wrong?" Maria asks sitting down next to her daughter and taking her out of Quinn's arms.
"Brittany...missing...shifted...heard her...in my head..." Santana sobs squeezing her mother tighter.
"Wait Britt never came back?" Mercedes asks now also starting to worry along with Quinn and Kurt who know that the blonde had left on her own after patrolling.
"How can the white wolf be missing from her black wolf mate? Is that even possible? I thought that she was supposed to be way more powerful than anyone else with the only exception being the black wolf." Rachel muses to herself mostly, but whenever she talks it is always louder than anyone else.
"Mami...I want Britt Britt." Santana cries in a very unlike Santana way.
"Shh, honey I know we'll find her." Maria reassures her rubbing her back.
"Honey, Quinn, Kurt, Mercedes and Puck can you take Santana and the kids upstairs please." Carlos says kissing his wife's cheek before ushering them upstairs.
Once they are all safely upstairs he turned to face the others and Kurt, Mercedes and Puck come back down as Maria and Quinn had stayed to comfort Santana he starts planning.
"We'll inform them later about our plans, but we now have to triple our search for the rogue. They must have something to do with this. No one else could have taken her." Carlos starts pausing waiting for everyone to agree with him. He can't image that anyone else in Lima could possibly be either strong enough or be able to surprise Brittany enough to be able to take her.
"Do you believe that Santana heard her?" Mike asks thinking if Santana heard her then Brittany must be awake and therefore able to escape from wherever she's being held.
"It is possible for a very strong mated pair such as them to be able to speak in their minds even when one of them is knocked out cold so long as they both are in wolf form." Rachel rattles off like she is reading it from a book.
"But Santana doesn't sleep in wolf form." Puck points out knowing from experience.
"True, but legend has it that if when the white and black wolf mate that if one of them is in trouble they can speak to the other and make them shift." Blaine says having done a lot of studying on the matter since finding out that Brittany is a or thee white wolf depending on which term you prefer.
"That must be what happened." both Sam and Finn conclude like they have been intrigue pieces of the conversation.
"Oh god don't fucking pretend like you two said anything helpful." Kurt says growling at them.
"Okay listen up we are going to help my daughter by going out and searching for the rogue. Everyone get some food now before we go out hunting in wolf form this time everyone we need to catch this rogue so we can help my daughter find Brittany." Carlos practically yells at them before heading into the kitchen.
"So are we going to follow him and eat or not?" Tina asks looking hesitantly into the kitchen.
"I vote yes," Puck says following him in.
"Awe fuck now we all have to." grumbles Mercedes.

Quinn has taken over holding a still sobbing Santana as Maria feeds and changes the dippers of all three kids. Neither woman knows exactly what to do to help Santana. It seems like she is broken.
"Mrs. Lopez, why is she like this shouldn't she at least be able to take care of her own kids. I mean wouldn't Brittany want her to?" Quinn asks looking over at her.
"You know how emotional Santana gets especially since she's madly in love with Brittany and their mates so that makes it ten times worse. She held it together when in wolf form though not when back in human form because her wolf won't be emotional over this having to be strong for the pups when human she's ten times more emotional than anyone of us would be." Maria tells her with a sad smile on her face when looking at her daughter.
"I sure hope we can find this rogue quickly and then Brittany." Quinn says quietly getting up as Santana has finally fallen asleep or at least she thinks she has.
"Here give her Marcus to cuddle with she'll sleep better with someone to hold and we know that she won't want us to cuddle with so that leaves one of the kids." Maria says handing Marcus to Quinn.
"Are you sure?" Quinn asks not sure at all this is a good idea.
"Give me my fucking son Quinn." Santana growls holding her arms out for her son.
"Okay here Santana gosh you don't have to bite my head off just cause we can't..." Quinn trails off not wanting to finish her thought in fear that she might start crying again.
"Shut the fuck up Quinn." Santana snarls grabbing her son and cuddling him into her. "What would you do if Rachel was gone and then spoke to you after waking you up and causing you to shift, telling you that she can't open her eyes and doesn't know where she is. Huh Q, what would you do oh yeah and you have three kids." she huffs as she cling to her son tightly pretending that he is Brittany.
Quinn is about to say something back to her when they both hear Maria curse and turn to look over at her.
"FUCKING A, EMILY, LUNA STOP THAT! GET BACK HERE!" Maria shouts running after two little pups who have escaped her.
"Santana your kids look like mutts." Quinn says shaking her head cause really she thinks that this must be how Santana acted when she was little.
"Shut up they're my kids." Santana growls.
"Santana I'm sorry I thought that you were crazy cause they never acted like this before for me." Maria says having given up chasing the girls around and sits down next to the other two women.
"Yeah well they're always like this with me and Brittany though they listen to her more." Santana sadly says thinking about Brittany.
"I beat they miss her and know that something is wrong." Quinn says bending down to pick up the little grey wolf that has tried to run over her feet and though her legs. "Which one is this?" she asks.
"That's Emily she's the real troublemaker of the three of them. Which obviously makes our little brown one over there under the crib Luna and when Marcus here shifts he's black with some white accents." Santana tells them sadly smiling.
"Listen Santana we'll find the rogue and then we'll find Brittany don't worry." Quinn says hugging her best friend.
"You should listen to her mija, she's right we'll find her and until then we'll both be staying with you." Maria says smiling at her.
"Thanks mami," Santana says putting her head in her lap while still hugging Marcus to her. Five minutes later Luna jumps up and curls up next to Marcus and Emily who has shifted back crawls out of Quinn's lap and next to Luna. All three of them are clinging to Santana.
"You sleep, Quinn I think I hear them all getting ready to leave go with them and howl when you find the rogue." Maria orders.
"Are you sure?" Quinn questions as she shifts although she knows that she will follow the alpha's mates order.
"Yes now go," Maria orders.
"Mami?" Santana questions looking at her.
"Someone has to tell you when they find the rogue so you can be there when they question it. I will watch the little ones. You need to focus on finding Brittany right now so they have their other mother back." Maria explains to her kissing her forehead. "Get some sleep before you have to go." she says putting a blanket over her before leaving the room.

"Dad I think she might be waking up!" Artie shouts to his father.
"Then shoot more HBC into her." his dad shouts back.
"Dad what's in that stuff cause I thought that you said a while back that nothing can knock out a werewolf especially a white one which is what she is." Artie says as he shouts the stuff in her arm when his dad comes back in.
"I can't wait till we figure out how to get her to shift. As for what's in HBC it's like taking ever drug that can knock you out legal and illegal, times it by ten and that what this stuff is. Let's just say you don't want this in your system." he says patting his son on the back as they head over to their thinking board that has a list of everything that they've tried and things that they haven't yet. "So tell me again what she looked like when she's a wolf?" he asks yet again of his son.
"Well she was fucking huge taller than six foot I'd say around six foot five. She was a white as snow so fucking beautiful." Artie says pausing as that's all he really saw of the wolf as he had been too excited to get a really good look at her.
"That's it, that's all you got." his father asks getting upset that his son hadn't paid more attention to the wolf.
"Dad I know this is huge for you, but I was more focused on getting her here before she woke up. You know cause I'm pretty sure she would have killed me if she had woken up." Artie says.
His father gives him a what the fuck look, but knows that he is right. If he would have waited then he wouldn't even have a son anymore as there is no way that he could have taken out a wolf on his own. It scares him that at any time that HBC might stop working and she will wake up and kill them both. He knows that they have to keep pumping her full of HBC every few hours otherwise he is scared she will wake up. He hasn't told Artie this cause he doesn't need the boy thinking they can't handle her.
"What if we tried using wolf howls to change her?" Artie suggests looking over at his father.
"Possibly, but not until later as it could have very negative effects. The first thing we need to do is build a cage to hold her in case anything happens." his father says.
Artie nods before going up to the actually house. He needs to get some actually sleep so he can go to school tomorrow. He hopes that with Brittany out of the way that he will finally be able to talk to Santana and maybe comfort her. His plan is working perfectly in his book and heck he doesn't even need Claire though if he ever sees her again he'll knock her out too so his dad can have another werewolf to study. He is beginning to think that they might have a lot more things that are happening in this town than he or anyone knows about.
Neither father or son notice that Brittany has began to stir for a few minutes before going limp again.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Santana, sweetie Quinn's howling they found the rogue and it's a her." Maria says shaking her daughter awake.
"What!" Santana shouts jumping up displacing her kids.
"Sweetie breath, they are bringing the rogue to the Puckerman's so-" Maria is cut off by Santana shifting and taking off for the Puckerman's house.
She shakes her head at her daughter and bends down to collect the kids that her daughter had forgotten about and puts them in their cribs thanking god that none of them had decided to shift otherwise she would be chasing them around and she is just too tired for that now.
"I know if Brittany was here you guys wouldn't be an afterthought little ones. You'll have to forgive your mother she's worried about your other mother." Maria tells the babies despite the fact that she knows they can't understand and don't even know that they are being left.
She hears three short howls and knows that Santana has beaten the others to the Puckerman's and feels bad for Lily that is having to deal with a frantic Santana, but not enough to try and help after all the woman is use to it she had given birth to Noah or Puck as he likes to call himself.
Santana is pissed that she has beaten everyone. The only thing she wants to do is rip apart the rogue that has dared to take her mate from her. She shifts back into human form as Lily won't let her in if she doesn't. Sitting at the kitchen table she huffs wanting them to get their butts back here.
"Santana they'll be here in no time just relax." Lily says as she prepares some food for when everyone gets back knowing that they will be hungry especially her son.
"How can I relax when I know Brittany is somewhere out there confused and possibly hurt. I have to find her." Santana says looking very worried.
"Sweetie, you'll find her you are her mate after all. Plus from what Noah has told me about that girl she'll find a way to get back to you." Lily reassures her.
"Why is everyone so sure that she'll escape whatever is holding her? What if she can't or worse what if she's dead now? What will I do then?" Santana asks trying to wipe away tears.
"Oh sweetie," Lily says wrapping her arms around the Latina comforting her letting her cry into her chest.
They sit like that for several minutes before they both hear the door open. Santana jumps up and runs over to the living to see all the gleeks and their parents coming in surrounding the rogue that they have caught. She looks at her dad wondering where the rest of the pack is.
"I sent everyone else home we don't need the whole pack here, but your friends wouldn't leave and their parents in turn wouldn't leave so we have to deal with them." Carlos explains to his daughter.
"I want to see the rogue." Santana says.
"Hold on sweetie the truth is that while we did find her hiding out once we found her though she came out and surrendered herself to us so there will be no attacking-" Carlos is cut off by Santana growling at the rogue once she sees her.
"Claire,"
"Fuck," Claire moans not wanting to deal with the hot headed Latina.
"Um hi Santana is it. It's lovely to see you again. I just um came here to um see Brittany. You wouldn't happen to know where she is as I would really like to talk to her I'm sure she could clear this whole thing up." Claire lies through her teeth and Santana knows it.
"Everyone back off I'll handle her." Santana growls shifting causing Claire to gasp.
"Fucking A you're a black wolf and oh god..." Claire trails off as it hits her why Brittany is so drawn to her, she shifts knowing that she is going to be attacked by the pissed off mate. She knows that Brittany is a white wolf which is extremely rare so much that her father had told her that there hadn't been one in something like three hundred years if she remembers correctly. This is why she wanted her so bad, but it dawns on her at seeing the midnight black wolf in front of her that she will never have the blonde.
That's right hoe, she's mine.
Santana leaps at the grey and white wolf that is Claire. She easily pins her down as she is a head maybe two taller than her and is just overall way stronger. That doesn't stop Claire from attacking her back. She gets a good bite on Santana's back left leg. She howls in pain as she kicks Claire in the stomach throwing her into the coffee table. There is a gasp around the room as everyone else is still in human form and scrambling to get either up the stairs, in the kitchen or out the front or back door. None of them want to get in the way of Santana who can probably take them all out at the moment and none of them want to find out if that assumption is right or not.
"Mr. L what should we do?" Puck shouts knowing that his mother and father won't necessarily want the house destroyed.
"We, son there is no we in this. It's all Santana and until her wolf is satisfied we are staying the fuck out of this mess. I know I personally don't want to end up dead, though maybe you have a death wish." Carlos shouts back confirming what everyone is thinking just stay out of it.
I'm going to kill unless you tell me where my mate is.
Santana has no control over herself right now. All her wolf wants is to find her mate, make sure she's fine and mate.
I don't know where she is honestly.
Really I don't believe you.
Claire decides that she needs to go on the offensive and jumps at Santana only to end up being kicked into a wall having a huge mirror fall on her. Santana growls and pins her down.
Tell me everything you know or I'll kill you right now.
Claire gives in and shifts back to human so does Santana. Everyone else surrounds Claire to make sure that she doesn't escape although none of them know what is going on.
"Start talking now." Santana orders glaring at the other girl.
"Well after I saw you two at that singing thing I started to think that I really did want Brittany back even though she was a rogue. I convinced my dad that she would make a great addition to our pack and so I came out here to get her. I was going to enroll in school and totally win Brittany back by being my amazing self and some underhanded things that I would rather not get into right now." Claire starts not looking at Santana scared that she might kill her on the spot for thinking such a thing about her mate.
"You really think that that would work?" Quinn questions not understanding how some many kids her age know absolutely nothing about the whole mating process or what it means for the mates later.
"Shut up I obviously didn't know that they had mated or that she was a black wolf. So as I was saying I was going to the school when I ran into this wheel chaired kid named Artie. We got to talking and it turns out that he wants you." Claire says pointing to Santana. "So we decided to make a plan to break you two up. We came up with a great way and were going to put it into action when suddenly Brittany came over to us. We were in the wood and she knew that I was the rogue that you all were hunting. She shifted and we fought a bit before Artie hit her over the head with something. I took off not wanting to get in the middle of whatever he was planning, but I think he might be a hunter or something cause he didn't freak out when Brittany shifted in front of him. I don't know where he took her honestly." she finishes looking over at Carlos who she knows is the alpha hoping that he will just let her go.
"Artie has her. You could have followed him and saved her, but you didn't." Santana growls shifting and before anyone can do anything she has Claire's neck in her jaws and snaps it.
A pin could have dropped and it would have been heard. No one says anything as they are in shock over what had just happened. Sure every one of the glee kids knows that Santana is a hot head, but no one thought that she was capable of murder. Although the adults don't see it like that at all as they all know that they too would do the same for their mates though maybe not as quick or without the other putting up something of a fight. The thing that they understand that the kids don't is that mates are extremely protective of each other no matter what and will do anything for the other especially in wolf form.
"Puck, Sam, Finn help your father's move the body into the back yard where we will burn it later. The rest of you can go home as you all have school tomorrow and have to attend." Carlos orders as everyone, but Santana leaves even the parents knowing that they will have to make sure that their kids actually stay home and don't try to go after this Artie guy. "Sweetie we have to wait until tomorrow night to go after him okay." he says hoping that she will go along with his plan.
"No dad, I'm going over there now and attacking him if he doesn't take me to her." Santana growls her canines extending.
"Listen sweetie we have to find out where she's being held first so you'll wait till tomorrow night. I know that it will be very hard for you, but it's for your own safety. After all what would Brittany say if you went and got yourself captured or worse killed?" Carlos says knowing that he has her on that one.
"Fine, but only cause it's what Britt would want." Santana growls stomping out of the house all the way back to her and Brittany's.
Maria is waiting for her to return to tell her what the news is and the plan. When she sees Santana pissed as hell entering the house she decides that instead of pestering her daughter about everything she'll comfort her daughter and hope she tells her why looks like she wants to beat the fuck out of something.
"Come here sweetie," Maria says in her mothering way and Santana falls into her arms.
"She thought she could take her away from me and he thought that I would leave her." Santana says muffled by the fact that she has her head buried in Maria's shoulder.
"Who and what are you talking about sweetie?" Maria asks very confused.
"Am I a bad mother?" Santana asks looking up at her mother.
"What? Of course you're not. In fact this is just making you a better mother. What you're doing now is finding your mate and the mother father of your kids. That's exactly what you should be doing as your kids need both their parents so you're being a great mother right now. And the fact that you have me watching them also means you're a smart mother." Maria reassures her daughter knowing that she's worried she's not good enough. "Now why don't you go busy yourself with taking care of your kids while I go talk to your father." she says pushing her daughter up the stairs.
Santana nods and heads upstairs to her kids.
Luckily for Maria, her husband comes over himself.
"Is she?" Carlos asks.
"She's up with the kids, why?" Maria asks wondering what her husband did now.
"Well we found the rogue and Santana recognized her as I believe that she's Brittany's ex. She told us that Artie kidnapped Brittany and after our lovely daughter lost it and killed her. I told her that we have to wait until tonight to go after Artie." Carlos says not looking at his wife knowing she'll be pissed at him.
"She what? You allowed her to kill the rogue. Why the hell didn't you stop her?" Maria shouts at her husband.
"I couldn't stop her honey, I would have tried, but before I could do anything she had shifted and killed the girl which honey let's be honest isn't that surprising. Her mate was taken and anyone that knows something, but didn't try to help will end up dead." Carlos says trying to defend his lack of action.
"You're lucky that I believe you, but you better not let her kill anyone else." Maria growls.
"Mami, I need your help!" Santana shouts.
"Be up in a minute." Maria shouts. "You have to find out where Brittany is right now so go get going." Maria orders.
