I was reading back through this story to see where I wanted to go and spotted a couple mistakes so I am re-posting this chapter… no major changes so you won't have to reread it or anything.

Chapter 5

"Hey Rach." Finn stepped up to Rachel after the Glee meeting ended. "Can I talk to you for a minute?" Rachel sighed and nodded as everyone else left the room. Santana, Brittany, Quinn and Puck all waited but were soon asked to leave by Finn. "I was hoping we could talk alone." He said looking at the other four with furrowed eyebrows. Santana and Brittany left, but Quinn and Puck were both more hesitant. Rachel nodded at them and they followed the rest of the pack. Even though Puck wasn't a wolf yet, Rachel considered him part of the pack. "I wanted to talk to you about us getting back together." Finn said finally and Rachel heard a growl from outside the door.

"Keep her calm guys." She said to Brittany and Santana through their minds. "Finn, as flattered as I am by your interest in being in a relationship with me, I must decline your offer." Finn looked confused and Rachel heard Santana chuckle in her head. "I am sorry but I am interested in someone else."

"Is it because of Puck? I see you guys hanging out a lot more lately. I can be so much better than him Rachel."

"Noah is my best friend Finn, you know that. Even when we were dating before he was my best friend. We aren't together and we never plan to be." She felt happiness coming from outside the door. "And please never try to insult him in front of me again because he is ten times the man you are."

"So then who are you interested in if it's not Puck or me?"

"I fail to see how that is any of your business, Finn. Now if you'll excuse me I have plans." She added as she turned to leave.

"I'm not giving up on us Rach. I know you still love me and I will prove to you that we belong together." He said with what he thought was a charming grin.

"Finn, please don't even try because my answer with always be no." She replied as she opened the door to reveal her pack waiting for her. She smiled at Quinn who seemed to be in a better mood than she was earlier. Puck held out his fist and Rachel chuckled as she bumped her knuckles against his. Santana was smirking and Brittany was grinning at the alpha.

"Ready to go Rach?" Brittany asked quickly. "You're dads are making us steaks tonight remember?" The girls and Puck made their way out to the parking lot with Rachel leading them. Brittany was on her right flank while Santana was on her left. Quinn was in between the two and Puck was behind them all. Rachel laughed as they all tried to squeeze into her car again. They all drove to school together because they were all at Rachel's house in the morning. Brittany, Puck and Santana sat in the back while Quinn sat in the front with Rachel who was driving. As soon as she pulled into the driveway the wolves could smell the steak cooking in the backyard. Santana and Quinn raced to the gate while Rachel and Brittany walked with Puck. It was the last day of the full moon and after they ate the girls would be going for a run. They also planned to hunt much later. Puck was only staying for dinner before he went home.

The Berry men chuckled as the wolves devoured their steaks. Quinn was sitting directly next to Rachel. The closer to the night it became, the more she felt the need to be closer to her. She felt the need to claim her and let herself be claimed by the alpha. The blonde didn't realize she was no longer completely blocking her mind from everyone and Santana smirked as she caught her friend's thoughts. The Latina quickly blocked them off from the others before speaking to her. "You go Q; get you some." Quinn gasped and her eyes widened slightly. "Relax; she feels the same way about you." Quinn couldn't help the grin that crossed her face. Rachel looked at her curiously and she finally let her mind open to the others. Santana and Brittany both closed off from the other girls when the thoughts bombarded them. Rachel's eyes dilated at the thought of claiming Quinn and the two ended up leaving quickly.

"Where are they going?" Hiram Berry asked.

"They needed to start their run early." Santana replied with a smirk. "We'll join them later." She added and Brittany giggled.
