Chapter 3

"We have to find her." Brittany said as the three headed into the trees in their human forms.

"Why did she leave? I couldn't hear her thoughts." Santana asked quickly.

"I don't know she was really nervous and upset and she just left. She's blocking us out; just like Q is." They both turned to Quinn who was staring at the ground as she walked. "Did something happen with you two?" Quinn just shrugged and shook her head as she followed the other two further into the forest. "I can sense her this way." Brittany said as she steered the other two in the right direction.

The girl's looked at each other curiously when their search brought them to Puck's backdoor. Brittany knocked lightly and Mrs. Puckerman smiled as she opened the door. "Hello girls." She greeted. "Noah is a little busy at the moment."

"We're looking for Rachel." Brittany replied.

"Oh, come into the kitchen and I'll see if they are ready for visitors…" She said kindly as she left the three girls in the kitchen. Quinn felt like venom was running through her veins.

"What is she doing here with him?" She asked angrily. "Are they together now?" She looked at Brittany with darkened eyes and was shaking slightly.

"Q, calm down." Brittany said firmly and Quinn couldn't help but obey; the blonde dancer was the second in command of their makeshift pack. They were soon rejoined by Puck and his mother.

"Hey guys." Puck greeted tiredly. "What's up?"

"Where's Rachel?" Quinn asked bitterly.

"She's asleep right now." Puck replied and Quinn furrowed her eyebrows. She hated how jealous she felt and didn't know how much longer she could stay in control.

"Quinn, stay calm." Rachel ordered as she came into the room wearing a pair of Puck's boxers and a plaid shirt. Quinn immediately felt more jealousy run through her and desire from looking at Rachel. She suddenly felt possessive; like she wanted to claim Rachel and make sure everyone knew who she belonged to. Brittany and Santana looked at her curiously. The other three wolves thought she was jealous because she still wanted Puck. That thought made Rachel even more upset and she decided to go back to Puck's room. Santana remembered when Brittany was with Artie and thought perhaps that was why Rachel was so upset. She was sad and jealous all the time when the two were together. The Latina saw how Rachel looked at their blonde friend. Brittany nodded slightly in agreement. "Maybe you should talk to her San. I'll take Quinn out of here before she attacks somebody." Brittany took a hold of Quinn's shoulder and steered her outside. "Come on Q, let's go. You are going to talk to me about what is going on." She said as they made it into the trees. Santana looked up at Puck and furrowed her eyebrows.

"Are you and Rachel together?" Puck shook his head. "I need to talk to her alone." He looked hesitant to allow the two girls to be alone together. "I really need to speak to her." The Latina added as she pushed past him. Once she got to his room she knocked lightly. "Rachel? Can I come in?" She asked timidly and Puck tilted his head at her.

"Yes Santana." Rachel's reply was muffled by Puck's pillow that she had her face buried in. Santana squeezed in and closed the door before sitting on the edge of the bed. "Brittany took Quinn back into the woods to cool down." Rachel finally sat up and nodded.

"Good, I don't want her attacking anyone. Puck is going to be like us, but not yet. I wasn't going to change him until after the full moon is finished. That way he will have a month before the added stress of the full moon." Santana nodded slightly but didn't comment. She wondered why she was going to change Puck.

"So you and Puck aren't together?" Rachel shook her head.

"Puck's like a brother to me. We've known each other since preschool and he's really not my type." She replied.

"So, what is your type then?" Santana knew she wasn't being too subtle with her questions. Rachel smirked when she heard Santana's thoughts.

"Yes Santana, you are correct in your thinking." Santana couldn't help but chuckle slightly.

"This wolf thing really makes conversations quicker and easier." Rachel nodded and slid closer to her new friend. Santana opened her arms and let her alpha collapse into them and cry. She stroked the shorter girl's hair and waited for the sobs to calm down.

"I can't stand in the way if they are meant to be together." Rachel finally said. "I don't know how Puck feels about her because he isn't a wolf yet. Once he is though their feelings will be intensified, which I'm sure you've noticed." Santana nodded and thought of her feelings for Brittany. "I know I just have to deal with it and get over it, but it's so hard."

"It's okay to be upset…" Santana said softly. "I mean I was so depressed when Brittany was with Artie, and that was before I was a wolf. I'm here for you whenever you need me. We're like a family now right?" Santana suddenly felt nervous, but Rachel quickly hugged her closer.

"Yes, we are family now."

"I'm really sorry for the way I've treated you." She added quietly.

"I forgive you." Rachel said quickly and kissed her cheek. "Come on, we better go. There are a few things we need to do to prepare for tonight." The pair moved out of Puck's room and back into the kitchen. Puck smiled when he realized Rachel seemed to be feeling a bit better. He stepped forward and hugged her. Rachel smiled and led Santana out to the trees. She took off the clothes Puck let her use and changed into her wolf form while Santana brought the clothes back to him. The Latina stayed in human form and followed Rachel back to her house.
