The next day Blaine was already up. He needed to hunt and get ready. Kurt was coming over to hang with the pack. Jane made breakfast but Blaine needed what different. He was nervous and the run and the hunt would clear his mind. He needed all the courage that he could find to ask Kurt on a date.
The date need to end with a Mark, then he needed Kurt to explain his plan. Kurt will get mad but Blaine hoped that Kurt was already in love with him by that time and they can live happily ever after. Blaine sighed.
He hoped that Kurt want to stay here, but he understands if Kurt wants to go back to New York. He deserved the whole world, but Blaine wanted to give Kurt a future. With him. He sighed. First he needs to ask Kurt out and he will do that today.
He sniffs for rabbits. Suddenly a human smell fills the air. More smells. Blaine morphed and sneaks closer to the smell. Four man were standing with their back against him.
'... I don't care what he said, Cole, he was lying,' said a guy with red hair. 'He's protecting something, I can feel it.'
'Listen, we've gone through the papers, no white wolf, Rodney' a guy with a mustache said. 'We're wasting our time.'
'I'm not leaving, there is something wrong with the sheriff,' Rodney said again.
'I have a idea,' the blonde man said, Cole. 'We can split up. You two go to Chicago and we're staying here till next week.'
'We'll find our white wolf and sell to the highest bidder,' Rodney said. The four said goodbye en split up.
'Well, where do we start?' Cole asked.
'There Is a old farmer who saw wolfs fighting last Saturday night, we start with him,' Rodney said and they walked away.
Blaine stood frozen. They were looking for Kurt. He was the only white wolf in this area. For money? And what had Burt done? He needed to speak to Burt.

Kurt was in the supermarket. He wanted to bring some food. He still felt like he owned Blaine something for saving his life.
'Hello, white boy!'
Kurt looks up and saw Mercedes standing there. She smiled and gives him a hug. 'I heard what happened. How are you?'
'I'm fine, Blaine is the real hero though,' Kurt said. 'And we got some great help from Santana and Britney. Do you know where they exactly lives? I don't know the way and I wanted to thank them by bringing a gift. Do you think they like cookies?'
'Calm down, Kurt,' Mercedes said. 'I don't know what they like, there so skinny, I don't think they eat.' Kurt was shocked.
Mercedes huffed. 'Just kidding, although I don't see they eat ever. But I think cookies are pretty safe.' Kurt nodded and put some cookies in his shopping cart.
'Are you planning a party or something?' Mercedes stared at the full shopping cart.
'No just for Blaine's pack,' Kurt said. He sighed. 'He saved my life and what do I? Buy cookies. I can never repay him.'
'O I think you know a way,' Mercedes smirked and winked.
'What?' Kurt raised his eyebrow. Mercedes laughed.
'I can't believe you're so oblivious. Blaine likes you, a lot. Not just as friends Kurt.' Kurt blushes and looked down. 'Wow, you really didn't know?' Mercedes said her look a little softer. 'He was totally making heart eyes the whole time at the party.' Kurt looked down. 'Does this mean you like him?' Mercedes smirked.
'Of course I like him, but I'm not in love, Mercedes,' Kurt said. 'I can't...'
'Why not?' Mercedes said loud. 'Blaine is a good Alpha. He treats his pack with respect. You can at least give him a change, he deserves it.'
'Mercedes, I'm leaving about 2 weeks to go back to school for a whole year,' Kurt explained. 'I don't want to fall in love and don't see Blaine for a whole year. That wouldn't be fair, to none of us. He deserves someone better.'
'Well, maybe he only wants you,' Mercedes said. 'I know it isn't easy. You can at least try. Let Blaine in. Then you two can figure it out what to do with the pack, New York and the future. Just enjoy. A little love can't hurt. You deserve it and Blaine does. So don't wait to long.'
Kurt smiled. 'You're right, Mercedes. So should I asks him out of wait to he asks me out? I mean he's a Alpha, maybe it's insulting if I asked him. Being al macho and all.' He rolled his eyes.
Mercedes smiled. 'There is nothing wrong with you asking him out. But... play hard to get. Okay? You need to let him know that you're not that easy. That's cheap. Want to know how Sam and I got together?' Kurt nodded and smiled, but kept his true feelings to himself.

Blaine find Burt in his office, going trough papers. He knocks on the door. Burt looked up from his papers. His office was a mess. 'Blaine?'
'Yes, sir, it's me,' Blaine walked closer. Burt looked tired. 'I saw those hunters today in the woods. They were talking about a sheriff who looked like he was hiding something, they said they wanted to catch a white wolf and sell it. Burt, what do you know about these men?'
Burt sighed. 'It really isn't any of your business, Blaine. I did what a father who loves his son should do. Protect him.'
'I want to protect him too, Burt,' Blaine said. 'What have you done?' 'I've shifted some photo's of the registration and replaced them with new one,' Burt said. 'Kurt is safe.'
'Not safe enough,' Blaine growled. 'The hunters don't trust you. They're going to investigate everybody.'
Burt huffed. 'I protect my son, I will fight them if I have to.'
'Let me help, Burt,' Blaine said.
'I don't need your help, you're father is helping me enough by looking out for Kurt when he's in the woods,' Burt said.
'you can't face them alone, and my dad neither. Kurt likes hanging out with the pack, I can protect him better.'
'I just don't trust Alpha's, Blaine,' Burt sighed and leans back in his chair. 'You're a good kid, I know that. But I see the way you look at my son. You want to Claim him, or Mark him and then Mate with him.'
Blaine froze and blushes. 'He would be safe under my Mark, not from hunters. But for other Alpha's.'
'I can't let you do that, Blaine,' Burt said.
'You want a attack on Kurt like Saturday night?' Blaine said, anger boiling up. 'He got lucky, you know. We both did, Puck and Sam saved are lives.'
'I have thanked them,' Burt said coldly.
'We can't have two problems at the same time, those hunters and Alpha's who want to claim Kurt, Marking will protect Kurt so we all have a problem less.'
'I know what you want, Blaine, I know what Marking does,' Burt said. 'I also want Kurt to be safe, he is my son...'
'Then how can you be against it?' Blaine asks. 'Look I know It Is soon, but I do care about you're son. I would never hurt him.'
'You can't promise that,' Burt said bitter. 'Elizabeth, Kurt's mother, left us for another Alpha. One day she came home from work, late at night. She was in love, she said. But her eyes were empty, the spark in her eyes was gone. I saw the Mark and was angry. A Alpha got to her. That night she left, without a word of explanation to her family, her husband, her Child!' He was screaming angry and Blaine stepped back. 'Kurt was broken, he couldn't sleep for months and kept hope that his mother would return someday. From that day on, I swore that I never let anyone hurt my son, and you can't make him impossible promises. I lost my wife to a Alpha. I'm not losing my son to a Alpha.'
They stared at each other. Blaine knows what a effect a Alpha could do to a Omega, and knows why the Alpha went after Kurt's mother. A lot of Alpha's think low of Humans. A relation between a Omega and Human was not done. Elizabeth was probably forced into a Mating. After mating it's very hard to be apart from each other. So... she left. Poor Kurt, and he here stands, wanted to do what a Alpha did to his mother.
Blaine feels torned. Marking somebody, means that all Alpha's knows that the Omega was his. A beginning of a lifetime together. Kurt didn't even need to know.
'I'm sorry that happened,' Blaine said broken. 'I understand your point but...'
The phone rings and Burt grabbed it. 'Hello.... Pete?.... What?.... I'm coming.... Yeah see you in 10 minutes.' He hangs up and grabs his jacket. 'I need to go, Blaine. I made my point and I'm staying by it. I need to protect Kurt.' And he walked out of his office.
'So do I,' Blaine whispers.

Kurt was walking home, tiredly. Mercedes has left 10 minutes ago, and she was going on and on about Sam en her first date. It was very romantic, with candles, flowers and everything. Kurt sighed. Why can't he have all that? Flowers, candles, romance? Someone who loves him just for what he was.
He knows his dad is worried about him. His safety. Afraid to lose him. Kurt left Lima for New York, just to be away from his dad protectiveness. It was amazing, a big city, the school of his dreams. Friends who are like him, free Omega's, and understand him. And now he was back for the summer, home. He missed his dad, but nothing has changed. His dad's behavior against Blaine...
At first he wasn't too happy with Blaine but he was really nice. And Kurt liked being around him and his friends. Burt wasn't happy about that and Kurt's knows. He just wanted to be around a pack and a Alpha. His Omega wants that.
It was great to be a free Omega and Kurt survived New York, but with all those Alpha's in one place, it was harder to control his Omega. It wanted to be close with a Alpha, surrender and be submissive. All in all it had become harder for Kurt to be around Blaine. He wouldn't risk their friendship, so he just needed to be stronger. Before he makes a fool of himself. And he didn't know what to do with Mercedes advice.
To take a change with Blaine, but he was afraid of the future. Kurt was leaving after the summer for his last year at school. What happened if they will get together and Kurt just leaves? He didn't want to hurt Blaine.
Suddenly he was pulled hard to a alley and pinned to a wall.
'Hello, beautiful, I was looking everywhere for you,' Sebastian grinned. 'You're scent is delicious. Did you know you're Omega is screaming to be Mate?'
Kurt opened his mouth to scream but Sebastian covered his mouth with his hand. 'Just don't scream. Just enjoy.'
He pulled Kurt's head a side, so his neck was available. He bit down hard and Kurt's Omega wanted to submissive. Kurt was trying to fight it, but he felt his Omega slipping into the grasp of the Alpha. He screamed.
