Chapter 10

Tina wandered into the woods by her house; she felt drawn to it ever since she met the wolves who helped her home. She never told anyone about that because she was afraid they would think she was crazy. There weren't supposed to be wolves in this area and they certainly shouldn't have been able to help her get home. She let her instincts guide her; she wanted to find the wolves again. When she finally came into a clearing she smiled when she saw them. They were jumping around and wrestling with each other playfully. The black and brown wolf seemed to notice her first and ran over to her happily. His tail was wagging and his tongue was sticking out the side of his mouth. Puck was excited to see his mate. He was especially happy to see her wearing his letterman coat. "Perhaps it is time we have a talk with Tina about us." Rachel said into her pack's minds. "This is the fifth time she's come to find us." The pack nudged Tina to get her to follow them. Rachel and Quinn led the way with Puck walking directly next to Tina and the other two were walking behind her. Tina always felt protected when they walked that way; almost as if they made her walk in the middle because they knew she was the most vulnerable. She was surprised when they came up to a house. "Rachel Berry's house?" She asked the wolves curiously. "Why did you bring me here?" The back door opened and one of Rachel's dads was standing there.

"Back so soon?" He asked the wolves before turning to Tina. "Well hello there, you're new." He said as he let them all inside. Tina looked scared to pass through the door but Santana and Brittany nudged her inside. She followed the pack into the basement and watched with wide eyes as first Rachel, and then Brittany, Santana, Quinn and Puck appeared. In the back of her mind she knew that the brown and black wolf was Puck, but now that she knew for sure she was in shock. "You guys are the wolves? I mean I kind of saw some similarities between you and the wolves, but wow." The Pack quickly put on their clothes and sat down.

"Have a seat Tina; we have some things to discuss." Rachel said and Tina sunk down into a chair. "We've decided it was time to tell you about us. You have come to find us five times now."

"I'm sorry; I don't know why I do it. It's like I'm drawn to you." Santana smiled and nuzzled into Brittany at those words. She knew why Tina felt that way.

"It's quite alright. You just can't tell anyone about us and we are giving you a choice; a choice many of us didn't get." Rachel said sadly; looking around at her pack. Brittany, Santana, Quinn and herself didn't choose this life, it was thrust upon them. "The reason you feel drawn to us is because of Noah. Every wolf has only one mate and his wolf recognizes you as his. Even though you are human you still feel connected to him. It's the same connection that Quinn and I share, and Santana and Brittany. We can make you like us so you can be a part of this pack, or you can stay human. No matter what you are our friend and a part of our pack anyway." Rachel said with a kind smile. "You also don't have to decide right now. Noah can explain things to you in more detail. I need to get back into the woods because it is getting closer to the full moon so we are all full of energy."

"Can I come into the woods with you?"

"Of course, but if we run away again do not follow us. One of us will stay with you at all times, but when a wolf's mate is human there is a need to change them. Our wolf wants our mate to be a wolf to so they are easier to protect and share in our fun. Noah will want to change you and you are not ready for that yet." Tina nodded at the information and looked over at Puck with a smile, which he returned quickly. He was glad to see that she wasn't afraid of him.

Tina laughed as she watched Santana and Rachel play fighting a little ways away. Quinn was sitting next to Tina watching her mate and best friend in amusement. The wolves had been playing in the woods for hours and it was close to dusk. Puck and Brittany were running around them in a wide circle; racing. Finally Rachel stopped and called the others back. It will be dark soon; we should get Tina home safely. Puck whined at her words but knew it was for the best. They all looked at Tina who looked confused for a moment. Quinn nudged her so she would start to follow Rachel. "I guess that means it's time for me to go home now." Puck nodded as he walked next to his mate. He really hoped she decided to be like them. Rachel looked back when she heard rustling and growled playfully at Brittany and Santana, who were tumbling around in the leaves. They stood up quickly and smiled at their alpha before following again.

Once at her house, Tina knelt down in front of Puck and hugged him tightly. "I guess I'll see you tomorrow. I hope you guys have a good night." She continued as she scratched behind his ears. Puck nuzzled into her and she giggled lightly. "Be careful out there." She whispered to him before turning and walking to her house. The pack watched until she was in her bedroom window. She waved at them and they turned and ran into the woods once more. The moon was starting to come up and they needed to hunt.

** okay so I'm having a lot of trouble with this story and am asking if anyone wants to take it over from here? I'm just not feeling it anymore and have a few different ideas for something else. Let me know! **
