Warnings: Smut in the later chapters, violence, mpreg in the future. Will add more later when I decide on what the other warnings will be.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything. But I would really love to.

A/N: Thanks for the reviews, follows and favourites again! This is a chapter that focuses more on Burt and Kurt's relationship. No Blaine in this chapter guys. I really love how Burt and Kurt's relationship in the show is portrayed though so in a way, this is like a small tribute to them. Chris and Mike are great actors and you can clearly see how much their relationship has grown since season 1.

Haha oops I kinda just rambled there, didn't I? Anyway, hope you enjoy!

Burt entered the living room of his palace with a sullen expression still plastered onto his face. After dinner the previous night, Kurt had fled up the stairs to his room before Burt could even address the situation once more. Whether the boy had intended for that to happen or not, he didn't know but all he was sure about was that Kurt had since began to avoid him at all cost. When the alpha came down the stairs this morning, he found his son munching on a cereal bar and the minute that the latter saw him, he immediately widened his eyes and all but ran to his room, quicker than a hungry cheetah chasing its prey. Burt figured that it was mainly because the boy didn't want to talk about the deal that he had just accepted, and Burt was fine with that. If anything, he felt the exact same way; he couldn't sleep during the night before because his mind had been consumed with pure worry and protectiveness. He just wished that Kurt was more open to him and actually told him that the subject shouldn't be brought up for a while.

Having said that, he had overheard his son discussing the matter with Carole in a rather cheerful, yet shy kind of way. Kurt seemed ecstatic with the thought of being mated but he also seemed a bit hesitant. When Carole had brought up sex and babies, the boy had visibly shrunk back and blushed heavily, showing his naïvety and innocence clearly. Burt didn't want anyone to take that away but he knew that part of becoming an alpha involved the presence of a baby in the near future. Kurt's case also put him on the map for perverts and desperate sex-crazed freaks so Burt was just thankful that he didn't have to worry about anyone raping or harming his child, knowing that the moment two wolves mate, their bond becomes inseparable and both parties would be willing to kill and die for each other if one was hurt. He felt more at ease when he noted that and decided that if he ever felt uneasy with the thought of his son mating, he would just think of that advantage and all negative thoughts would vanish.

Currently, he was pacing around his living room, waiting for the boys, who he had assigned to scour the library for information about cross mating the prior day, to arrive. He had received a call early in the morning from the boys, announcing that they would be dropping by at around ten o'clock to discuss their findings. They had also told Burt to keep calm as they sensed their alpha's tension, stating that what they found was good news for the pack and Kurt himself. Burt was confused when they said that but didn't bother to ask because he knew that all questions would be answered when they arrived. He just hoped that they were right and that there really was nothing to worry about. After Kurt's acceptance, he had rung up Michael to tell him that his son agreed, like they had agreed, and he couldn't help but laugh when the man on the other side let out a huge sigh of relief before blabbering on about how happy and nervous he was. Burt knew, however, that since Michael was now aware of Kurt's consent, neither boys could back out of the deal, unless they had a valid reason for their resignation. He still couldn't help but feel worried though. Was that just because of his fatherly instincts or because he felt like something bad was going to happen in the future?

He had never had to go through that before. Carole and Elizabeth were both a part of the McKinley pack so it wasn't like he had to consult another pack in order to find and meet a mate. It was just there for him. He knew that since Kurt was being mated to another wolf from a different pack, it would be more complex than normal. Okay, so it may not be as complex as he was trying to make it sound like but it was definitely going to take a while to get used to - both for Kurt, Blaine and even their respective packs.

He just hoped that it wasn't the latter; otherwise, he would feel like he had been a shit father to Kurt and that would possibly be the worst feeling in the world for him. He didn't want to fail his son and Elizabeth.

A string of knocks snapped him out of his trance and he quickly shook his head before walking up to the door and opening it. Usually, he would look through the peephole before opening but he had been expecting the boys so he didn't bother. He was always paranoid that if he opened the door, someone would unknowingly push past him and go straight to his son, who wouldn't notice the movements behind him because of his damned headphones. Call him stupid but he was only being conscious about his son's safety as he knew that many people would do just about anything and everything to get to his son. There had already been instances where they were about to grab Kurt but Burt, being a father with quick reflexes, pulled them away and kicked them to the curb before they could even reach him. The boy had never noticed anything since his back was always facing them and in a way, Burt was thankful for that.

"Hello, boys. Come in." Burt said as he opened the door and stepped out of the way to allow the boys to walk past him. While they walked past, a small movement from the corner of his eye caught his attention and he redirected his gaze towards the bush, which seemed to be shaking despite the lack of wind. Glaring intensely at it for a couple of moments, he watched as a figure leapt up from the bush and ran away, letting out a high squeal along the way. That was one of the things that he loved about being the alpha of the pack; he had unlimited authority that granted him and his family security. And at times like this, he was incredibly grateful for that. Burt was pretty sure that the figure - one that looked like a boy - was only trying to get close to his son and he was not going to allow it.

"Thanks." The boys cheerfully replied but with the incident that just took place, it only sounded like a mumble to Burt.

Nodding slightly before closing the door, Burt walked over to the couches and sat down comfortably, waiting for the boys to get settled before questioning them about their findings. "Did you boys find anything in the library?" Truth be told, he was kind of scared to find out what they had read through. It wasn't as if he was uncomfortable about the whole situation - that was definitely not the case! - it was more to do with the fact that he was going to, in some way, lose his son over this and he just wanted to feel at ease. Laughing inwardly, he realised that he sounded like such an over controlling father but he really couldn't care less.

"Yeah, we did." Sam started as he opened the television and scrolled through the channels to find a good show. Giving Mike a small nod, the Asian boy took it as a signal to continue his answer and announce what they had found in the library. "Well, according to one of the books that we had scanned through yesterday, mating is a lifetime decision that would tie both wolves' bonds so that they feel like they can't live with each other. So if you're wondering whether Blaine will treat Kurt well or not, that's your answer. It said in the book that since the bonds are very strong, they wouldn't be able to handle seeing or feeling each other in pain - both physically and psychologically. Of course, the mate would have to be officiated first and this means that they will have to go through the whole process before their bond becomes complete. I'm guessing that includes the sexual part of the mating, in case you're wondering." Letting out a deep breath, Mike halted and let Puck finish off. "As for the pack, it was mentioned that it will inevitably join packs together if the wolves involved are from different packs and this goes all the way back to the fact that they are bonded, ultimately making it agonising for them to see each other hurt. Obviously if they are forced to choose between the pack, they would take it badly, which would make it even worse for them both because they'd be upset. Since the pack is much larger than before, if an alpha is involved in the cross mating process, he becomes the alpha of the newly-formed community, with their mate becoming their right-hand person. Basically, in short, our packs will have no choice but to accept each other and be a happy family because like I said, we really have no choice. When Blaine becomes the alpha of the pack, he will have control over everyone. As an alpha, you will know that there is a force within us that tells us to obey them, regardless of whether we agree or not. You and Blaine's father will lose your roles as alphas, making you just as ordinary as any of us, meaning that we won't feel the need to follow you around anymore, and the force will then change and redirect itself to Blaine, who we will have to follow as he would stand as the new alpha."

"I see..." Burt trailed off, sighing and rubbing his bald head - a habit that he had grown to appreciate. He could easily be described as an open book; his emotions and moods are always apparent and couldn't be easily hidden. Especially when the situation involved his son, he wouldn't even realise how angry or dangerous he was until he ended up in hospital for doing something stupid to himself. He just cared and loved his son that much. He hated seeing the boy crying or in pain. There was one time in the past that he had grown more aware of how some wolves treat carriers - like they're a trophy. That was the time when he decided that he would do anything to protect his child.

Flashback:

"Daddy, look!" A fourteen-year old Kurt shouted out as he walked over to the scatter of boulders by the beach, which isolated a beautiful shell that seemed more unique than the other ones they found. The boy loved the beach, mainly due to the fact that his last happy memory with his mother entailed the two walking along the shoreline hand-in-hand, discussing the latest events that occurred within their pack. There really was never a dull moment in their community. Every secret, every drama, every action had to have been recorded by the gossipers in the pack, and somehow, they were able to spread it around before the person involved could even comprehend the situation properly. Him and his mother were not exactly the most hardcore gossipers but they did like to keep up with everything going on. It just made things so much easier for everyone, honestly!

"Slow down, son. You're gonna hurt yourself again!" Burt bellowed back, groaning when he saw his son nearly fall for the second time in the last ten minutes. For someone who seemed to care so much about their designer clothing, Kurt didn't exactly resemble the epitome of gracefulness, often falling and tripping for whatever reason. Burt smiled as he watched his son pick up the shell carefully and examine it as if it was the Mars Rover. He definitely got that from his mother, always on alert, just in case disaster strikes unexpectedly. It almost made him cry how similar his late wife and son was. They had the same light brunette hair that gradually transformed into a much lighter shade when left out in the sun for a certain amount of time; they had the same pale skin that shone and sparkled in the light; they even had the same attitude, which ranged from a happy kindergartener all the way to one's worst nightmare.

"I'm fine, dad. I am capable of taking care of myself." Kurt scoffed back and Burt immediately thought of Elizabeth's stubbornness that usually lead to the silent treatment every time they argued. Of course Kurt inherited some of his characteristics and physiques as well, like the colour of his eyes, his natural talent for fixing cars and the style of his hair. Kurt never complained about any of them and Burt was happy about that small information since he at least knew that his son was content with the aspects that he had inherited from his father. His thoughts were cut off by two men, a woman and three children coughing discretely as they neared Kurt with a predatory expression on their faces.

Fuck no.

Who knew children could be so easily manipulated to do such things? However, with those kind of parents, Burt guessed that it wasn't really that far-fetched, considering how strict and devilish the parents looked. They literally looked like they had crawled out of a program that discussed the most hated parents in the world, and Burt wasn't ashamed to say that.

Before he knew it, the alpha had raced towards Kurt, thanking his rather overprotective side for allowing him to sprint that quickly, surpassing the oppressive family, who had given him rather pathetic glares that didn't look very scary at all, and approaching Kurt with practiced precision. He didn't know where that came from but he was just happy that he got there before the family could. Who knows what they would have done if they got there first? Kurt may be a very smart teen but he wasn't invincible; that was what worried Burt the most. Especially in his wolf form, Kurt tended to stick out a bit more and seemed to gain everyone's attention before he could even take one step forward. It may be because of his ability to carry children or it may just be because that was how Elizabeth was in her wolf form. Whatever it was, it attracted too much attention to his son, Burt thought, and it was disgusting to see how some people practically projected their sexual thoughts shamelessly. It was degrading on Kurt's behalf and just plain rude, if Burt was being honest. As a father, he didn't want anyone to look at his son in such a way. It offended him as well.

"Kurt! Be careful walking up there, you might hurt yourself!" Burt shouted discretely, trying to make his concern as subtle as possible. He knew that Kurt would get snappy at him for even assuming that someone may take advantage of him but he couldn't blame the boy. At the tender age of fourteen, Kurt was only starting to understand the ways of life, especially since he had been locked up in the palace for most of his life. Burt didn't exactly feel bad about that; he was actually quite happy that his protective side allowed him to do such things. He only wanted the best for his son and because he was a target for many, it shouldn't even be a surprise to people that he would do such things. Even when Kurt was able to retreat from the palace, either Burt or a trusted, trained adult would be with the boy to ensure that nothing bad happened. Usually, it was Will Schuester or Sue Sylvester if he wasn't available. Surprisingly enough though, Kurt and Sue had hit it off as soon as they met each other. That wasn't a regular occurrence, especially for someone who was as uptight as Sue.

"I'll be fine, dad. I've climbed up these boulders before and I'm sure I'll be able to do it again without hurting myself. Jheeze!" Kurt groaned at his dad's attitude. Seriously, he loved his father and all but the guy needed to calm down a bit. Although, if Kurt was being honest, he loved how his father became all fatherly at times like this. It made him feel loved and it was nice to know that someone truly cared for him. When his mother passed away, it was apparent that Kurt had locked himself out from everyone for a few weeks, only speaking to his father and even then, it had been somewhat strained and forced. However, after those rather stressful weeks, Kurt had started to warm up to people again and soon enough, he was back to his old self, despite the pain of his mother's death still etched into his brain and heart.

"You say that now then you'll come running to me crying because you scraped your knee." Burt just had to roll his eyes as he said this. His son's attitude was definitely indescribable; it certainly had its ranges and unpredictability but that was one of those characteristics that Blaine just loved about Kurt. It made him 'Kurt', it made him who he was, it made him unique from everyone else. This was also why Sue Sylvester liked the kid. They were very common in many ways, from their views on certain parts of life and their cold demeanour that softens when specific topics are concerned. Again, it amazed Burt that his son had managed to warm up to Sue when he himself would not even consider the evil woman as a close acquaintance, let alone a supposed guardian.

His son didn't respond. He just glared at Burt with so much intensity that the man - a big, strong alpha who saved people's lives and fought fearlessly - could literally feel himself slowly disintegrate. Yeah, sometimes his own son scared him but could you really blame the guy? When someone like his son glared daggers, the receiving end would just inevitably feel this instinct that told - no, instructed - them to submit, regardless of their rank and their size. That was yet another aspect that Kurt inherited from his mother, Elizabeth Hummel, who he used to see glaring at his dad so that he did whatever she wanted him to. For an alpha, Burt could be pretty submissive but that was only limited to his family, never to anyone else. No one needed to know of this side though.

As he watched the family come closer to Kurt and him, he growled at them in an attempt to get them to back off. The attempt had been deemed successful as he watched the parents' eyes widen in fear before ushering theirselves and their kids out of Burt's sight. Surprisingly, when he looked at his son, he saw him sitting down on a boulder and looking out into the ocean, completely oblivious to the fact that a family was just trying to take him away from Burt and his father had scared them off by demonstrating his alpha power over them. That was one of the things he loved about being an alpha. Sometimes, you didn't even need to be in the same pack to know who the alpha was. In fact, alphas were very obvious. Even from a mile away, you could tell whether someone was an alpha or not. Alphas tended to walk with great authority and power, not in the way that wannabes would walk, it literally just oozed out of them and everyone would be able to feel it, regardless of whether they were in the same alpha or not. Having said that, alphas only really had massive control over the people within the same pack. People outside just feared them but at the end of the day, alphas would end up having to fight the outsiders rather than commanding to back down, purely because they would not feel the alphas's force since they were from a different pack. The force would only really affect the alphas's pack.

"Daddy, have you ever wondered what it would be like if you weren't an alpha?" Kurt whispered softly and quietly, so quiet that Burt barely heard the question. He didn't know why the question came out of his son's mouth so suddenly but he knew that the boy was thinking and reevaluating his life deeply and surely, something that Kurt usually did on a regular basis. When Elizabeth had passed away, Kurt had taken it very hard and he shut everyone out of his life, only having himself to talk to about his problems and feelings. This was probably why he made it a regular occurrence to ponder very deeply about his whole existence. It wasn't a suicidal, depressed kind of situation, it was more like he was just learning how to cherish every aspect of his current life before they abruptly disappeared from reach.

"Yeah, I have." Burt answered back with a gentle tone. He knew that it was a vulnerable moment for Kurt; every time his son reminisced and thought about his life, he would usually end in tears for some reason. Burt, himself, didn't really know what his son normally cried about but as a father, he didn't want to push for answers and, instead, offered his assistance and hugs to make his son feel better. "I think about that every single day, you know. I may be very well-respected by our pack but there are still some people who are willing to knock me down and take my role. It isn't something I like to elaborate on because being an alpha is practically my life. Without this position, I wouldn't be the person I am today and the thought of that kills me. I've killed people and wolves because of the wars and I've had to reinforce my authority on a few of them but that's just the way that an alpha would act. If I wasn't an alpha, we would be normal and if we were normal, you would become more susceptible to attacks and possibly, getting stolen from me. It's a horrible thought but its true. But don't think that I don't believe in you, Kurt. I do, it's just, at times, people would stop at nothing to get what they want. That's where my job as a father comes in. I'm here to take care of you and keep you away from all the bad things happening in the world right now."

When Kurt didn't respond, Burt got worried that he had said something that hit Kurt straight in the heart. Hearing a couple of sniffles beside him, Burt wrapped one of his arms around his son and squeezed him tightly, as if to say that he didn't want Kurt to feel sad or lonely. If Burt was being honest, he had actually thought of dropping his role a few times when things got too stressful and crazy but it was just too hard for him. He loved the title and he loved the power that came with it, it made him feel important. The fact that all his pack members liked him was an added bonus because without them, he wouldn't be doing his job right. If your pack members disliked you, you wouldn't get anything done, no matter how hard you've worked for it. It was just a fact.

"I love you, daddy." Kurt sniffed out, resting his head on his dad's shoulder and letting out a deep breath. As they watched the sunset, they both had thoughts racing through their minds and while they were both silent, they could literally feel each other's thoughts. They were just so close that they were both willing to die for each other and damn anyone who laughed at them for saying such thing. Kurt loved how his father became his permanent rock and Burt loved how Kurt became his own anchor; they both needed each other to survive properly. Their father/son relationship had been a favourite throughout the whole pack, with each member acknowledging just how much they do care for each other. It made people jealous. "I promise that I would never forget about you, even after I have mated and have my own family. You're responsible for my happiness, as a whole, and I am so thankful that I have a dad like you."

Burt didn't bother to reply.

Instead, he let out a few silent tears of his own and closed his eyes tightly, feeling honoured that he had a son as amazing as Kurt Hummel. He would never let his son down, he would never ever want to see a tear in his son's eyes. And if he did, then he would be more than happy to kill the person who had brought that tear into his son's eyes.

End of Flashback.

"Does that mean that Kurt is safe?" Burt hesitantly asked, afraid that the answer would be something negative, despite the earlier reassurance from the other boys. He didn't want to willingly give his son away to get mated then find the poor boy crawling back to him in tears.

"Yes, Burt." Puck nodded, appearing to be really sure of himself. They had researched it the day before and all the books they have looked through said the exact same thing. Surely, that meant that it must've been mutual and true, right?

"Well... Then, I guess I should just suck it up and learn to accept that Kurt is going to be mated soon." Burt tried to announce this bravely but his voice had cracked slightly, due to the build up of the emotions within him. He didn't really want to cry about the matter in hand because, truth be told, he knew that nothing would change Kurt's mind. When the boy made a decision, he would go through with it and damn anyone else's opinion. He just wished that instead of answering that night, the boy thought about it more clearly and thoroughly because it really was a lifetime decision. Now that he had agreed to the deal, there would be no easy way of backing out anymore. That was why Burt felt so uneasy.

However, Burt realised that maybe he was looking at it all the wrong way.

Maybe Kurt would be happy when he and Blaine had officially become mates. Of course that would inevitable include the sex, and Burt shuddered at the thought of this, but overall, maybe Kurt was right after all. Maybe him mating would finally give him the extra boost of happiness that he had been lacking his whole life.

Kurt would also end up learning a few lessons that no one else, but himself and Blaine, could teach him. That was a good thing about mating; it opened one up to more possibilities, responsibilities and also privileges since everyone valued it massively. When they start living together, it would give them a chance to get to know one another better, thus, in turn, improving their trust and, hopefully, love for each other.

Burt figured that maybe it would be good in the long run after all.

A/N: Blaine and Kurt will meet next chapter - that's my plan but if something else pops up then that will be delayed. Either way, Klaine will meet within the next few chapters. Sorry for any mistakes!

I'm in the process of writing the next chapter now but it'd probably be a while until it comes out since the brain juice isn't flowing as quickly as I'd like it to be and I'm trying to write it as best as I can.

Quick note to say that I have decided to make the next chapter short because the following chapter after that will hopefully be more eventful. Having said that, I'm still writing it but that is what is going to happen :)

Just a quick question though: do you think that this story is going quite slowly, in terms of the things happening, or is it going a good speed or is it too fast to catch up with?

You know the drill, reviews, anonymous reviews and one word reviews are always welcome. It makes me very happy :)
