Part 2: Chapter 5 and Epilogue
Chapter 5
Alec slowly awakened and recognised the feeling of a female body beside him. He ached everywhere and the scratches on his back were uncomfortable on the hard floor. That’s when the last three days came rushing back to him.
Max…heat…sex...‘Mine!’ Shit. Alec thought.
He considered what he should do. Wake Max up and undoubtedly argue and fight or leave and hope she never finds him?
He figured the first, however painful, was probably the right thing to do and decided she’d be less angry if he fed her first. Checking the cupboards he found them bare so pulling his clothes on he went out, to find somewhere he could find some food.
Max awoke feeling more satisfied and happy than she could remember feeling in at least three years. She reached out for Alec ignoring the pain in every muscle in her body. When she came up empty she sat up with a start.
Did she dream it? She doubted, but looking at the destroyed living area, the nakedness of her body and feeling of aches, she knew she couldn’t have. She reached up to her neck where he had marked her repeatedly throughout her heat and remembered the look in his eyes… Pure passion, lust, desire, need and, what she had interpreted at the time, as love. But maybe she had been wrong.
But why else would he have claimed her? She felt confused.
‘Get out of TC and Seattle before another Transgenic smells you. They won't push you away like I did and then you'll be stuck with a mate you don't want’ Max remembered Alec saying the last time she went into heat around him. Did that mean all Transgenics automatically mated when having sex during heat? Did that mean it was just a reaction to her heat and he hadn’t actually wanted to?
Oh God! I’m gonna be sick! She thought running to the toilet.
The gut retching she felt as she vomited wasn’t purely sickness related. She felt the tear marks down her cheeks before she realised she was sobbing. She felt her heart breaking and curled around the toilet hugging her chest and stomach. She didn’t even sense Original Cindy enter or lay down and wrap her arms around her until minutes later.
"He left OC," Max sobbed. "He fucked me and left."
"Ssshhh," OC comforted. "Let’s get you dressed."
As OC dressed Max, as a mother would dress a child, Max finally looked at OC and saw the black eye and wound upon her forehead.
Max sobbed anew.
"OC, oh god! I’m so sorry." Max pleaded.
"It’s fine." OC replied. "Don’t get me wrong Original Cindy was upset when she left three days ago but I went to TC and they explained everything. Now your ass just owes me a beer."
Max tried to laugh at OC’s attempt, but instead she continued to sob as OC sat them down and began to rock her.
Seconds later Max felt anger replace her sadness and chastised herself for the weakness she was showing. She stood and walked away from OC.
"Thanks OC and I am sorry." She said calmly. "I get ya that drink soon."
Max walked out of the building and began heading back to TC.
OC sighed and got ready for work and headed out to Jam Pony.
Ten minutes later Alec re-entered the apartment with bags of groceries in his hand. He paused at the door recognising Max’s scent as old. He looked around confusedly and realised Max had already left.
He sighed realising it was no surprise, Max had awoken, regretted it and taken off.
Then Alec grew angry. He had been willing to accept her abuse and talk about it but she had just ran away as usual. He then set after her following her scent expecting it to lead back to TC. Suddenly her direction changed and as he grew closer to her destination he realised where she had fled to. As he arrived outside Joshua’s old house he realised she had done what she always did, ran to Logan and decided he had truly had it this time.
This last year, although he had missed her, he had actually been happy. He’d been helping TC, speaking to Josh and Mole regularly and had no one shouting at or attacking him all the time. Since he had come back he’d been attacked by White’s goons, though he hadn’t had chance to tell anyone that, he had been shouted at by Max, not had time to see Josh and although the sex had been the best of his life he wasn’t sure it was enough.
So he made a decision. One he had also made a year ago. He knew this time it would harder because they were mated but at least he had only claimed her, she hadn’t returned it. Therefore although it would be harder for him, he wouldn’t feel her call and although he could sense her at all times she would not have the same perks. And so with that in his mind he returned to OC’s to collect his bags preparing to leave again and this time not look back.
Epilogue
Max stood outside Joshua’s old house poised ready to knock.
What are you doing here? The Alec-like voice asked in her head.
Max smiled at the familiarity, as that voice had been her lifeline when Alec had been gone the last year. Through it she had experienced her usual Max/Alec banter and she had felt like he was still there.
Max, I am still here. So what are you doing at Logan’s? The Alec voice asked again.
Max struggled to think for a few moments and found she couldn’t find an argument. Why was she at Logan’s? She hadn’t seen or spoken to him in almost a year, just after she broke up with him and sent him out of TC when Alec left.
Well I know why you’re here. The Alec voice responded smugly.
Why’s that then? Max thought back.
Cause it’s safe. Logan is safe. ‘He’ replied.
Safe?? Max asked. I could kill him with one touch.
That’s not what I meant Max and you know it.
“My heart is safe.” Max spoke out loud finally realising.
And with me you risk getting it breaking. ‘Alec’ continued.
Max stood pondering this realisation before a memory from the day before hit her.
‘Mine!’ Alec had screamed many times during the last 3 days.
Not a heat side-effect? She asked ‘Alec’
Go ask me and find out. ‘He’ replied.
Max unsure where to find Alec blurred back to OC’s and saw Alec bike and bags still parked outside. She waiting there until she caught the familiar sent approaching. Her lover, her love, her Mate.
